Embracer is pretty bad too. One company owning too much of the media landscape is never a reason to cheer or be relieved.

There’s no reason ATB innately has to continue requiring menu navigation. Newer turn based RPGs like Persona 5 have shown that you can streamline it and make it feel a lot smoother by tying the most common commands to single button presses and only putting more specialized stuff in menus.

Not even remotely what I implied or what’s relevant about the question.

Maybe a better question is when 38% increases in the price of goods and services started happening, and being normalized by apologists.

I think more than anything it boils down to them being unwilling to cancel Michael Keaton’s big return to the Batman role. I know Batgirl had him as well, but by all accounts The Flash focuses on him a lot more.

All they have to do is use the DCAU as a template. DC literally did a successful shared universe adaptation a decade and a half before Marvel did. The formula is right there, and they invented it. I know that’s animated, but if they can find that tone for Superman TAS that fits with Batman but is still…

Not only did they leave it out, they claimed his acting career began in 1981, two years after The Jerk was released.

Martin pivoted to focus on acting in 1981

Not in mine. Besides, I’d rather have a steady 30 fps over the all-over-the-place targeted 60 I experienced on PS4.

It’s also got a Switch version releasing in a couple of months that looks to run surprisingly well.

It was updated to the same version as the improved Windows Store version some months ago.

They’re not showing any signs of slowing down; it’s not like the cores are the device’s only selling point. Far from it. This isn’t the difference between Analogue making some massively larger windfall on the device or not; anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

As for alienating the subscribers they have, yes, I…

Pocket is back ordered through the year and beyond. They already made their money on the basis of people expecting expanded core support. And even if not a single independent dev ports their cores over, Analogue has its own internal cores it can release for all the consoles people care about most. Thinking Analogue is…

It should be noted that the new GB/GBC and GBA cores don’t currently give access to the display modes that are one of Pocket’s big selling features, but supposedly will in the future.

Do said devs get paid to produce cores for MiSTer? And more to the point, is Analogue making more money if they port their cores over? The answer to both questions is no, so I don’t really get what’s “weird” about it.

That’s not what they were trying to do. They were just trying to have a little fun with the announcement and expected to get caught right away; they didn’t expect the mystery to stretch on for days. It was just a goof that grew out of hand.

The back row mechanic is great, but I’m not prepared to say this is a better game than the original. If anything, it actually borrows surprisingly liberally from the original, including almost every music track.

They were absolutely traveling together; there were lots of missable conversation snippets you could access to that effect. They just weren’t front and center enough.

It’s really not though, because tools like this to mod Nier Automata didn’t exist before. This opens things up for people to make all sorts of cool stuff for the game.

Kind of figured that would be the case. Of any show around that one was the one most dependent on the pre-pandemic world, and it’s going to be a long while before something like it makes sense again.
