- Comment on Palworld Developer Reveals The Pokémon Patents Nintendo Claims It's Violating 4 days ago:
Butchering your pals is less of a problem than enslaving other human beings.
More to the point it’s just bad. It’s incredibly grindy, has an incongruous tech tree, and the A.I. (both enemy and ally) is trash. It’s also mostly a copy of their previous game, Craftopia, which was also bad and has been in Early Access for 4 years now with no signs of ever leaving it.
I don’t hate Palworld because it’s a low effort Pokemon knockoff, I hate Palworld because it’s a low effort Ark knockoff following the same business plan of not finishing their previous game before abandoning it for their new game. At least with Ark you got to ride dinosaurs rather than store-brand Rapidash.

- Comment on Nintendo Music – Announcement Trailer 2 weeks ago:
I think Nintendo already owns the rights to most (if not all) of the music for their games so I’m pretty sure your conspiracy theory is correct.
If they don’t own the rights to that music they’ve certainly been militant in taking down any other platform that makes it available.
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 3 weeks ago:
There is a GitHub project working on a recompilation of both of these for PC. They’ve got Majora’s Mask working and are working on OoT. Looks beautiful, runs buttery smooth, and has custom controls with a free camera.
- Comment on Nintendo Music – Announcement Trailer 3 weeks ago:
I’ve tried it and have a few thoughts:
Initial selection is only 23 games, not sure why they’re not just releasing everything. I guess they’re planning on parceling the music out like their emulators.
The choices of games are also kind of strange, like why 2 versions of Metroid? Why starfox 64 and not like Mario 64
The ability to extend songs up to 60 minutes is pretty cool
The idea of character specific playlists is interesting
It crashes semi frequently, not a good sign.
It does add value to the Switch online membership, but not much at this point.

I would like to believe this, unfortunately the large number of very old assholes seems to indicate otherwise.

They still work on most of the emulated versions I’ve tried (including the version that OP is playing here), but I haven’t tried on Sonic Origins

There’s a whole online industry dedicated to making more incels, folks like Jordan Peterson. It’s been depressingly effective.

Appropriate? No. Inevitable in a culture that fetishizes guns and stigmatizes reaching out for help? Unfortunately yes.

That website is confusing, it doesn’t let you order any dog meat. It also seems to assume I would have a problem with the product? Is that a strategy to make me want it more?

- Comment on Anon takes the pink pill 2 months ago:
Quick LSD anecdote: LSD literally reminded me what actual happiness feels like. I’ve struggled with depression for much of my life and had a stretch of about a decade where my mood never rose above the level of “meh” and was often much worse than that. LSD filled me with joy and allowed me to feel happiness again even after I came back down.
For that reason I will forever be an LSD advocate.

- Comment on Dead Rising remaster will make Frank West less of a creep 3 months ago:
You asked how stuff can be removed from a remaster and still be called a remaster. I explained how that can be so.
The Special Edition in particular is relevant because Lucas changed things based on decisions he made later. Removing the Erotica bonus is equivalent to making Jabba a CG slug in his scene in A New Hope rather than a human gangster, as he was originally envisioned (yes the scene was cut from the theatrical release but the footage of human Jabba still exists). It’s a change in artistic vision that the creators want reflected in their new definitive version.
With any luck Capcom won’t pull a Lucas and make it nearly impossible to get the original version if someone wants to play it warts and all.
- Comment on Dead Rising remaster will make Frank West less of a creep 3 months ago:
When movies are remastered a lot of times undesirable parts of it (vhs tracking lines, static, film scratches and the like) are removed. Same as when songs are remastered and they take out mistakes on the original recording. Hell, look at the amout of stuff that was changed with the “special edition” remasters of the Star Wars OT. In each case things are removed or changed, but it is still a remaster.

Both Sonic movies are a lot of fun and Jim Carrey is obviously having a great time being Robotnik.
