GOOD! To hell with these greedy execs. And if this also means the quality control as far as VFX improves that’s an added bonus.

Good for them! This is long overdue. Hot Labor Summer keeps on giving!

FUCK YEAH, after getting caught up on this show only recently, it’s great and I’m really looking forward to this.  

Music is amazing. I was sitting on the loading screen for about an hour just chilling to the game music. 

So despite you being factually incorrect about the legality of what this person is doing, I really suggest thinking through what you’re actually saying.

All that’s relevant is that this person spent their time and effort to create a new thing that did not exist before they created it and then decided that they wanted to sell it instead of give it away. The reaction from reasonable people, in this circumstance, would most likely be, “huh, ok, well if I want to pay for…

The rationale you’re promoting here would place “video game mods” into a completely different category than any other creative endeavor.

It’s sure as shit worth at least what I’m paying for Game Pass.

To say nothing of these horrible CRT "filters" in collections of old games. I get by with custom soft scanline filters, but most CRT filters look terrible.

I wish more pixel art games would recreate what they ACTUALLY looked like on a TV. All these crisp jagged lines look like crap to me. The blending you get from a CRT is something else entirely, and the developers accounted for that.

Why is Sonic Team so fucking reluctant to even consider the idea of just creating high-quality 2D sprites?

This really doesn’t surprise me. I’m not saying nobody young can enjoy pixel aesthetics but I feel like most of the appeal of pixel graphics is nostalgia. There are a handful of modern games that use pixel art that I think are genuinely lovely (like Iconoclasts and Sea of Stars) but I think most pixel games don’t…

I’ll echo the recommendation to watch Silo. My wife doesn’t always get pulled into the same shows I watch, but a few episodes in she started asking when the next episode would drop. Hopefully the strike will end soon and the writers, cast, and crew can return to this world.

Any movie that makes fun of Matchbox 20 *and* Zack Snyder fans is an automatic thumbs up

The color palettes in Gwen’s universe reflect her emotions. 

All the stars for the deep-cut Freakazoid reference. 

The net is fantasy!

I think that during the covid lockdown years, that math changed considerably. WW2 was changed from a make a billion in the theatres to “let’s drive subscriptions to HBO Max using it”.  There’s a lot of hidden unknowns in terms of how successful that was, and what the expectations were.

It’s the oddall of the bunch, but after spending a lot more time with it, I’ve found that it has a lot of positive aspects that make up for the flaws. It's a tough game, even when you learn your way through the levels. But it's hard in a way that you have tons of room to keep getting better at it. It's one that I…

I have such fond memories of playing the the TMNT NES game on Christmas morning of (I think) 1990.
