What it immediately made me think of were the sections of Mass Effect 1 with the Mako. Giant open areas which were basically just pretty terrain meshes, with periodic bespoke pieces scattered around, hinting at mysteries and making the whole setting feel like it had some age to it. And I’d be into that honestly, that…

Also apparently the actual FES code is a complete nightmare that no one wants to touch.

At least with Nintendo they’re not usually selling you a new remaster on a system where you can already take your existing copy from previous gen and play it. Though that’s more of a dig at the lack of backwards compatibility on Switch. And Nintendo’s inability to build a good digital sales back-end that doesn’t feel…

It’s hard to see this as anything but a cynical decision being pushed by Sony marketing to try and keep a steady flow of PS5 games available.

They are making money hand over fist with Genshin, $3 billion in 18 months, so they can afford to have multiple games in the fire at the same time.

While we’re at it as far as reviving dead stuff, let’s get Fuyumi Ono to finish Twelve Kingdoms and have someone pry the rights out of Tokyopop’s deathgrip and release the rest of it too.

Sad that you’re writing it off because you won’t accept it in a different layout to the way you’re used to.

It preserves the artist’s intended flow through the artwork, and more importantly it preserves the art itself. Mirroring manga is called Flopping.

HxH is about to come back again, incidentally.

He also was working off extensive notes left behind by Jordan, who had also apparently written a big chunk of the final part - the actual conclusion - years earlier, and it was basically just cleaned up slightly. It’s definitely much easier to pick up the torch if your predecessor already knew exact where it was going…

Not only that apparently his factory workers are being overworked, but that he basically says you can work “remote” if you’re doing at least 40h in the office, which suggests that all his employees are expected to do unpaid overtime and should be able to do it from home.

There’s a big difference between being a dickhead troll on twitter and sending an email to all your employees as the CEO of a company telling them to be back in the office or they’d be fired.

Dunno, pretty sure Musk is fucking all of us. Just not in the way OP wants.

We also generally require people to have a license which also (theoretically) requires passing a basic competency test, but not so much with firearms for some reason.

This is actually one of the reasons that there was a higher accident rate in 2020 IMO - pandemic had a lot more people staying home, so less traffic, and people could actually get their cars up to and beyond the usual limit. So you’ve got people who have very little experience driving a car at speed suddenly no longer…

As someone that does wear a seatbelt 100% of the time, “buckle up to start” IMO is absolutely fine in concept. But I’d be very worried about what happens if the sensor fails (and it will fail). Having to get a tow to the dealer because the car thinks you’re not wearing a seatbelt seems incredibly plausible and also…

The initial beta is PC and iOS, the full release will also add Android support.

Yeah I don’t mind open world stuff, but I have tolerance for maybe one or two of them a year. They tend to be massive time sinks with the same content copy/pasted everywhere and that leads to just diluting the overall experience for the sake of optimizing some kind of ‘hours of gamplay per dollar’ value which I feel…

They’re all okay, and Spy x Family is very good at least, but “GOATS of sprightly must-watch shows that the genre has to offer”, not sure I’d agree at all, there are vastly better examples. Especially if the goal is ‘feel good’ shows - Japan literally has a subgenre for this, Iyashikei, ‘healing’ shows - stuff with a…

I don’t want a “normal” Arkham game, because that’d just be the same open world bullshit that lead us to this incredibly boring looking game.
