it's kinda bad that today's Era Of The SJW makes it hard to determine whether someone referencing knights and damsels is being sincere or cynical.

actually you kinda can be sure about nearly everything; all you need is a decrypted dump of the ROM and knowledge of ARM assembly...

guess I'm doing pretty well for KY, a few K over the median.

R and L are completely different in English, yes, and the Japanese r* is neither of them, but is used to represent them because it's the closest there is. Japanese r* is pronounced somewhere between English R, L, and D, but is not identical to any of them. Meanwhile, even the Japanese have different ways of…

So you're saying it's not politically correct for anyone to change their skin color to accurately portray someone from another race? Just because blackface was a thing that ignorant people did in the past?

moar chaika? moar chaika!

oh, that's not actually what I meant. I've never had any problems with it being too hot for my wrists or whatever; it's just that the amount of heat it generates means that noisy-ass fan is always running when I don't want it to, even in power-saving mode. =/

I'm still rocking that same model, with 8GB RAM. only thing i've done is swap the hard drive with an SSD, and install another SSD in the secondary bay. I just wish it weren't such a heat generator (at some point i'm gonna cut out that fake fan port and make it into a real one) and the fan weren't so noisy.

That's why I stick to desktop dev. C# ftw =x

Hah! My earliest game collection included KQVI as well, in addition to a top-down Jurassic Park game of some sort. I was running a Packard Bell with an i486, never did get to upgrade that CPU. Eventually I think I installed win95 on it and not long afterward the PSU blew up. =x

I went through the same stuff! Getting an upgrade to 8MB RAM was one of the most exciting days of my life at the time.

Duke3d had mouselook. I would sooner argue that mouse isn't what screwed up FPS, but rather, the transition to mesh-based 3D.

Honestly, I played Half Life back when it was first released and couldn't get into it, despite later playing HL2 and loving that. I still can't really get into the original HL at all.

Even Duke3D was still 'flat' 2.5D; the only difference was that they implemented slanted surfaces and fudged a z-axis for sprites.

that would be because the assets in this were taken straight from the original DS version.... the 3DS is capable of far, far better.

I totally understand. It's definitely a different sort of experience, but it's one of genre rather than medium. It's like the result you get when you take someone who's only ever been exposed to hollywood movies, and show them an indie art film. The format is almost exactly the same, the game is still played the same…

This form of media still has the bare minimum elements to be considered a game, and it's closer to a game than anything else. Bottom line, the modern definition of 'game' is a bit blurrier than it used to be.

That's a pretty goddamn low bar to set. But yeah, I won't watch it. Not just simply because it's called Robotech, but because by all signs they've shown so far, they're just going to be making movies that continue their knockoff universe, while Harmony Gold (who they're working with on the project) continues to block…

That's the entire reason for being concerned that it's robotech. Along with all the other info provided, it means they're creating a new thing (which will suck), while (I'm guessing) continuing to block all the wealth of existing Macross material that will never come stateside so long as Harmony Gold is involved and…

Still waiting for: 1) Driveable cars, 2) VR, 3) fuck it, Grand Theft Auto: Skylines!
