Very little voice acting. You had to read everything to understand. There are even those who learned a second language just to play a game.

Also people who write the massive guides on gamefaqs for free.

Good times.

Wow Micropose is still around. I’ll ad them Apogee and 3d Realms are still kicking around.

The issue is game mechanics, not the game. If a games mechanic that existed as prior art can’t be used, then neither should they be able to sue about it.

ACTUAL TITLE

Harry Fenton wanted safer streets for cyclists. Then he was killed on his bike in a hit-and-run.

I hate when people try to tell me what to feel. It’s already not good when the news does it.

And I saw none that the simulation succeeded.

Maybe, but I’ve seen some nasty stuff. Like instead of cloning a background they just blur it. Or not matching the background bubble color when cleaning the original text. Or removing the mini kanji or outside the bubble, the side comments, flavor text etc., without translating them. There are even some that go out of their way to straight up sensor the manga. I’ve seen cleavage removed, clothes drawn on, and the most egregious one they just put a black box around a character.

Obscure titles may draw the attention of groups that will treat them right.

Can’t trace what’s not there. Especially when dealing with joined pages. Some scanners somehow cut out entire sections from the middle of the page. I can go into a diatribe over skills that people in scanslation don’t have anymore.

Reminds me of the scanslation scene. Was a cleaner/redrawer.

The Steam Deck is the minimum standard spec that games aim for to get the verified tag. Move it higher and people will have to upgrade everything.

Thought/ Pre Crime.

They probably used copilot to write the code. It compiled so they shipped it.

Every time I see a Labubu I think they are a knock off of the monsters from Where the wild things are. They property owners would make a killing if they brought out plushies.

Engagement bait.

This video was made 10 years ago, but it feels prescient.

I hope one day gnu taler will be used every where. That or crypto exchanges start supporting it.

Wetware or fleshware according to the CW Mutant X

This is going to be catastrophic. Imagine the government using AI that does not factor that waters will rise and things will get more humid when deciding to build houses or bridges only for them to be underwater.

Overload. It was made by the old devs of the original Descent.

I think there are custom maps that recreate the original Descent levels.
