It's very easy:
Just don't. The idea that Copilot or ChatGPT are suddenly essential tools is just buying into the corporate ad blitz.
Games were made just fine (well, relatively) up through...what, 2023? 2024? They didn't suddenly become VITAL for budgets or design docs in the last 2-3 years.

If you're interested and still think it's a price error, buy it soon. But it's been up for over 5 hours now

Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 price is still currently $17.49 on US eShop. Some people think it's still a price error because it says 42% off on Cyberpunk's website (it's 42% off on UK eShop so might just be a typo error). Still shows at 75% off on Nintendo's press release.

easy to feel demoralised seeing all these game company CEOs talking about genAI but remember a bunch of rich people will lose a lot if we don’t suddenly develop an unquenchable appetite for slop so they’re actually the ones on the back foot and have every incentive to lie about everything

Wait a damn minute.
Fixed camera angle, you move in and out of the background. The bonus stages made of stacks of blocks. So many weird things about this game make perfect sense if you start from the proposition that it was supposed to support stereoscopic 3D.

Yeah, I never really played it until the NSO release too.
I could be completely off base, but it feels like there might be residue in Warioworld from when Nintendo was testing stereoscopic 3D on GameCube…the isometric camera in the smaller maps and the globe jumping, for example.

Impossible to even describe how many versions of this he could do. He could be the patron saint of the entire world. Instead, they'll have to bury him in a secure location because of how many people will try to piss on his grave.
The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

The season right at the first episode feels like it was being written by a wholly different team. Unsure on if that’s the case or not, but all the show’s bite completely deteriorates.
#92 - Danny Phantom (S3) (2007) [FINALE]
A mess of a season with maybe 2-3 solid episodes and a smattering of okay ones at best. The show’s premise fully falls apart as it nosedives to a tonally mismatched, nonsensical finale that it did not earn. Main upside is short moments of cool animation.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.
