Nobody is forcing anybody else to read the comments, though. Being quick to censor, simply because there may be takes that you don’t care for, is silly and pointless.

This article fails to communicate what the myth in question actually is. What are we even talking about?

Fingers crossed that Switch 2 is a stand-alone, set-top box... that uses existing Switch devices as controllers/input, allowing for complete backwards compatibility, potential DS/3DS/Wii U game support, “steaming device” functionality like we’re seeing quite a bit of in the industry, etc.

Ultimately, developers have to be good about making “the journey” enjoyable and worthwhile. The less copy-and-paste the world is, the more beautiful and intelligently designed its objects, textures, and spaces, the easier it is to play w/o fast travel, no-HUD, etc.

‘Bout time a game made use of the features/benefits of the new generation, beyond moar graphics. Looking forward to more.

It should be illegal (and actively enforced) to sell someone else’s product for more than MSRP without first “adding [your own] value” to it, plain and simple.

I like the idea that there’s some media out there in which people aren’t straight up motorcycle magicians - using some kind of dark magic to circumvent physics. I think it’s good that a normal person/non-mutant/non-super doesn’t have impossible motorcycle skill/the ability to ignore reality.-

What happened here is that the community chose something “fun”, that supplements/adds to the depth of their adventure, rather than two things that simply make their adventure easier.

I still don’t understand the hate for Joy-Con D-pads - I think they’re fine. Also, Switch Lite is a proper handheld, and has a D-Pad. Also, you can buy Joy-Con replacements with full D-pads. Also, also: Pro Controller. So many options. It’s a system and ecosystem of options.

Front panel is dual USB C now, too, it looks like.

PS2 slim losing firewire and HDD support was a bummer, but the built-in LAN port sealed the deal for me, and it being so much smaller and thinner was a big bonus.

Game isn’t fun. The Blizzard that made D1&2 doesn’t exist anymore - D3&4 are only Diablo in name and themes, not in quality and integrity of experience.

They just need a second AI to run every request with a forced inquiry of “is this is bad taste based on the most common values and opinions in our society”, and if it returns “yes”, cancel the initial request.

Why?

We’re gettin’ there. Give it 20-30 more years, we’re going to have some legit mecha walking around (pending some new materials discoveries/power delivery breakthroughs).

I’m not a fan of “fake code”. With that said, I’m not 100% convinced it’s fake. Could very well be verbose OS start-up output. If I had to choose between actually seeing the system doing things, versus a boring, tame splash screen made to keep the average consumer from feeling alienated or intimidated by the tech, by…

Balthier refers to the airship “Ifrit” as If-Reet in a voice overed cutscene in FFXII.

This.

Your argument hinges on the assumption that emotion is inherently, and uniquely human - that AI will never “feel”, or have a true sense of “self”. The moment AI starts to feel the want to convey emotions via creation, your argument falls apart.

Also, if he’s already been paid tens or hundreds of millions of dollars - more than a thousand regular waged workers lifetime earnings, combined... it would be no skin off his back to not be paid... you know... for the rest of this life.
