All cops are bastards. Trans rights are human rights. Black lives matter. I may not live up to my ideals, but that doesn't mean I don't hold them.
I've heard good things about Crystal Legacy.

They want to produce more games and are good at character deslgn, but as far as I can tell they have no existing properties in the gothic horror/fantasy space, and the amount of people calling for Darkstalkers to come back despite Capcom's apathy suggests there's a gap in the market to pursue.

This contributes to the lack of will within Capcom to push for a sequel, but I think SNK is in a good position to deliver the game people who know Darkstalkers mostly by name and reputation have in their head. Unlike Capcom they're not burdened with the knowledge of what Darkstalkers *actually* is.

Darkstalkers is an awkward property for Capcom. It has a bunch of name/character recognition but not a lot of aesthetic recognition, so people clamouring for a sequel might not realise that its cartoony aesthetic is difficult to translate to 3D, which makes a sequel a harder than average sell.

I thought that's what it is. It's a shooter characterised by choosing from a limited roster of characters with defined appearances, personalities, weapon loadouts and intended playstyles.

I find the idea that using a dictionary is a mark of age weird. They're still useful! Online dictionaries do not compare unless you have a subscription to the OED!

Seconded. It was inconsistent per server for me, I restarted Discord and it was fixed.

Isn't it more like "they cut out the chunk of the driver that they refused to open-source and put it in a chip on the card with a proprietary API, then open-sourced the leftover driver husk"?

The government here in the UK mainly seem to be huffing some high-grade copium that if they rebuild the Varsity Line between Oxford and Cambridge it'll form some sort of AI supercorridor that will rescue the economy.

tbh with how many times I've seen random Discord users post a crypto scam out of nowhere I can hardly blame anyone for wanting to set up two-factor authentication regardless of how frivolous the platform is.

In the game, sure, but you couldn't throw a rock and not hit someone with a copy of the Prima guide. Guides were made with the input of the publisher; while accuracy wasn't something the game told you about, it was something they wanted us to know, and a 1/256 chance of missing wasn't included.

It's (supposed to be) a rhetorical device. They said "they suck (the search engines)" twice at the end of two consecutive ideas, then the final idea concludes with "you suck".

I particularly like that they linked a search result on a website which requires signing up to use the search. Kinda undermines the "taking away human freedoms is obsolete" bit.

If memory serves, the thing that got me into conlanging was practicing noun declensions on the names of my parents' cats and going "y'know, there's no reason these have to be the only cases, I could make my _own_ language with different ones".

I wonder how this extends to 3D. A lot of games have an out-of-bounds void which you can fall into under the influence of gravity, but in Panzer Dragoon Saga's Zoah if you get out-of-bounds you can walk out into the wilderness until the texture wraps around and you can see the footprint of the town.

It would make sense for that to show up in the metrics as "premieres do badly", which multiple Youtube people have mentioned at this point. (People also say videos do better if you change the title after uploading, which might explain the turnaround in the Mario Kart World video's fortunes.)

This is also how I behave. Jumping into a premiere after it's started tries to sync you up with everyone else so I have to fight with the player to watch the beginning; I'd rather just wait for the premiere to end so I can watch the video from the beginning normally.

LLMs are just an evolution of autocorrect technology, and the only reason anyone tolerates autocorrect is that phone keyboards suck. If phones had keyboards that don't suck then nobody would need autocorrect and we could all laugh at people saying "defiantly" because they can't spell "definitely".
