We have a billion FPS to games but there’s been little in this genre and Pokemon sells on nostalgia instead of quality. If it was a new IP today, it would flop. I’ve been such of Nintendo gaslighting everyone into thinking they invented any of it.

Well, maybe. Or they’d have the most developed 42 pack abs you’ve ever seen.

I mean, it would increase sales. But that’s because light saber. When I was a kid I would have pissed off so many women, because dumb kid + ‘lightsaber’ = pissed off adults
- Comment on What was the worst movie to game adapation you've played? 2 weeks ago:
So many good ones already listed I’ll add a unique one.
Street Fighter: The Movie
It was a game, based on the movie, based on the original games.

No, what they’re asking for is Copilot^Copilot^
Not to be confused with Copilot, or Copilot+, or Copilot 365, or Copilot Pro, or Github Copilot, or Copilot Studio, or Security Copilot…
- Comment on California father arrested after repainting crosswalk, adding stop signs near children’s park 2 weeks ago:
My city approved a monopoly because a business threatened not to come to the city if it had to compete. Truly, what was best for the community! Oh, and 3M dumps a lot of crap into the water because they don’t want to spend the money to properly filter it, wasn’t until a large grocery brand showed up and forced their hand that the city did ANYTHING about the terrible water. Just normal people who want to do whats best for their community…
If you feels so strongly about this, why don’t you run for city council?
Must be nice to have as much free time as you do to just take on additional responsibilities/roles in life. Or are you implying that if I’m not on the city council, I’m not allowed to have an opinion…? What exactly is your point and why are you taking it so personally?

I mean, that’s how it was originally sold. I think it was '95 and we were watching ‘CNN in the Classroom’ I think, and we saw something about how you could use the internet to see photos from some art museum. Basically, experience the museum without having to go there! My teacher was like, “Well, I think we have access to the internet, let’s try it out”. It was slow, but yeah, we got to see some stuff at like dial-up speeds. I remember when they talked about virtual shops and what that might look like (which was oftem more a virtual representation of the store than the grids we have today). Kids in my class back then were getting better grades simply because they had a proper printer, word processor, and information (probably Encarta 95 or something like it). My stuff was hand-written, or I used a typewriter, grammar and spelling mistakes everywhere, and I had to go to the public library (where I think they literally copy pasted some stuff and turned it in… it was the 90’s)

Due to potential parasites, you should definitely cook using a proper meat thermometer. And avoid those “organic” varieties, they may have unknown diseases.

And once someone (probably a child) gets hit and dies, the city will say how sorry this tragedy is… will claim they’ll do something, and then do nothing. Because words are cheap. Oh, and they’ll act like this wasn’t avoidable, there was no way to know this kind of thing could happen.
- Comment on How do movie theaters work? Which seats in theaters are the best? (never done this before) Also is the IMAX thing actually any different? 3 weeks ago:
IMAX has better resolution than standard. With standard films, they can look low-res to some (especially gamers who might be used to higher resolutions).

Maybe if anyone involved during the Kurtzman era, actually watched the shows and movies first, and had good writing skills things would have gone different. This show is insulting to Start Trek.
You want to say fuck you to somebody, say to the people who greenlit this crap. Kurtzman should have been removed a long time ago. Stop throwing a tantrum.

I don’t know that even matters much, most of these contracts tend to have a clause they can change the contract at anytime and they may or may not notify you.

It would be cheaper and a better experience to just drop acid and play the game.

Even if I opened the hardware, I wouldn’t use it. I want what the artist intended, not what some AI slops together. That goes for games, movies, books, paintings, etc. I’m not paying for AI, it brings no value to me. I didn’t care if it’s a filter, or something generated from a prompt.

I want to add, don’t diagnose yourself, period. Especially from crap you see on the internet. If you suspect something, see an actual doctor. Someones diagnosis/life is not a “fun costume” for you to just wear because you saw a meme or want to be quirky.

How is that “in a way”? What you described is a normal video game iteration process, but also on new hardware (and probably an engine change). DQB2 and Pokopia were both done Omega Force (the folks who make all the Warrior games), with Takuto Edagawa as the director.

It’s just mostly just a reskin of Dragon Quest Builders. Pokopia is Builders 3.
They used an animal crossing menu UI. Removed the combat. Added pokemon. Exact same story and mechanics.

I have a Google doorbell and it’s night vision is terrible. I’ve taken the garbage to the curb during the winter when it’s the darkest and the doorbell didn’t register anything not the noise not the motion. Even knowing what I was looking for I barely show up in the video feed, it looks like a ghost.

Watched Cohh play it, it’s a pass for me. The gameplay loop isn’t my style. But it was fun watching someone go from ‘this game is so good!’ to just anger, lol. Some of the music is kind of catchy.

Listen I hate the unreal engine with a passion. But I also hate their engine with a passion. This amount of tech debt that thing has is incredible, and that’s not a good thing.
Unless they’ve started over from scratch but just kept the name I expected to be a piece of crap.
