Nintendo absolutely could not control themselves. There are probably multiple motorcycle bossfights. At least one is definitely in the massive empty desert area.

I did see it. It was the entire highlight of the trailer. I did not like it.

I do not have to play the game in order to give my opinion on what I have seen. If you take a crap on my dinner plate, I do not have to eat it to make sure it is crap first. I can see it, and I do not like it. It is an element that was completely unnecessary, and continues to make it very easy for me to avoid purchasing products that fund a vexatious litigant with a video game side business.

Not me, lol.

Just because people like something doesn’t mean its good. Fortnite, League of Legends, the Disney Star Wars Sequel trilogy, etc.

Nintendo has been wrong before. Metroid Other M and Federation Force.

Goblin Slayer without the violence:

Maybe this one will have better performance than the last one.

Age of Calamity, yeah… the calamity is the framerate.

As soon as I saw the motorcycle, I was immediately out. This is not Metroid.

Does this infringe on Nintendos new patents for summoning monsters and battling with them?

The same kind of pretentious person that says they can feel the difference of 1ms of input lag, or hear the difference between 320kbps audio and 1411kbps. You know, an elitist.

More seriously, people can still use their physical copies on a console that can easily connect to modern display technology. But at the same time, that physical media will eventually deteriorate to an unusable degree and FPGA users will be right back to where they started. That is perhaps the singular benefit of going digital for retro emulation. As long as copies are made on new media, they cannot become unusable.

This is what r/science looked like, except all posts were [removed] instead of [deleted].

The difference is important, because [deleted] means the individual user removed their own comment. [removed] means the comment was deleted by a moderator.

In the End of Evangelion movie, Misato kisses Shinji and says “We’ll do the rest when you get back.” I don’t know if I would count this as grooming though, because Misato was literally dying this was likely intended purely as motivation to appeal to a dumb 16 year old boy’s brain. I mean, the next shot is Misato laying on the ground dying in a pool of her own blood. Up to that point Shinji was refusing to pilot Unit 01, and Misato was begging him to pilot it (again lol) in that scene, and unfortunately even a dangling carrot of sex wasn’t enough to motivate him to save humanity.

Some say there is another part in epidose 23 where Misato also attempts to have sex with him, but I don’t remember it well. Describing the relationship between Shinji and Misato is a difficult one, because Misato fills many roles throughout the show. So too it is hard to really say if Misato is actually a groomer or not, because of the context of what happens in the show/End of Evangelion film. She doesn’t have the exact same role in the Rebuild movies. The meme is probably because everyone remembers her kissing Shinji in End of Evaangelion, but they probably all forgot she literally died in the same scene.

Especially Misato.

I mean, a lot of the games on that spreadsheet (I would even guess more than 50%) contain licensed material, music, or other intellectual property that is not owned by Microsoft, ActiBlizz, or any of the subsidiary studios.

If someone was going to actually make a really list, those games should not be on the list that anyone would reasonably expect to come back, probably ever. It would require renegotiation of the licensed content with the license holder, if they are still easy to find, who would absolutely demand more money than originally agreed upon at the original game’s release (thereby making the effort immensely expensive), or it would require developers to alter the artistic vision and integrity of some of those games that they can, while others like “Bee Movie: The Game” would require so much reworking it would be better to make it an original game instead.

I mean, imagine if Square Enix decided to remaster Omikron: The Nomad Soul. They would have to either renegotiate the soundtrack license with David Bowie’s estate and the record label company that publisher the album, or they would have to destroy the legacy of the game by replacing the music with some other artist that would be guaranteed to be genuinely worse than David Bowie. Honestly, I am surprised but also overjoyed that Square Enix is still selling the game on Steam.

I bet theyre all YouTubers too. Probably play Minecraft or Roblox. Especially Misato.

Quake’s “movement that takes skill” is actually a bug players have been exploiting for decades. Strafe-Jumping, Overbounce, Wall-Running, etc. are all exploits. They are entirely unintended. This also applies to game engines that derive from Quake source, such as GoldSource and Source games.

If you had asked a while ago I would have recommended Super Mecha Champions, an anime styled third-person Battle Royale game where you could call in a mech or fight on foot as a pilot. Sadly, the servers shutdown, so I can’t play it anymore. The game had gacha elements for cosmetics, but characters and mechs were earnable in game. The gameplay was fun too, I really miss it. Which feels crazy for me to say about a NetEase game that started on mobile. I guess they needed more server hardware and developers for Marvel Rivals.

You might try M.A.S.S. Builder, although it is more similar to Gundam than MechWarrior. It is also anime styled, but the anime characters aren’t really on screen for very long compared to your own mech. The mechs are more humanoid in appearance and are insanely customizable, down to the bare frame even. It has some multiplayer though it is primarily designed as a singleplayer game.

There is of course, MechWarrior 5, I think Clans is new, and MechWarrior Online has what, 16v16 or 8v8 matches?

Mecha Break might be one to look into. I haven’t looked into it took much myself but I have heard good things about the gameplay. I think its a 5v5 PvP game.

As greatly pained as I am to say it, mech games are a tiny niche. One that suffers from “the mech curse,” which is basically that a game gets popular for a month and then dies off hard.

Those comments are all true though, and any game other than Silksong would absolutely have failed unless it got lucky. The only reason Silksong is initially so successful is because of Hollow Knight.

I cannot wait for all the AAA developers to whine, cry, and complain about how everyone is saying Silksong is so good and that AAA can’t compete with their own games.

I prefer original hardware on a CRT for most games, but for games that originally had bad performance, an emulator on a CRT at original resolution works well too.

Unless I play late at night. I try to be kind to my neighbors, so I don’t use either of my CRTs because of their flyback transformer noise. I don’t know if they can hear it through the walls or windows, but I don’t want to take the chance and disturb them. Its not that important to me.

Interested to see a citation on how it can reduce impact on the environment. I mean like, yes technically it is a reduction but is it really a meaningful reduction? I would imagine the impact is probably pretty negligible for the average person.

The cloth and thread are manufactured in the same facilities as clothes, and transported along the same methods. Needles, spools, and other sewing related products would have their own footprint that is factored into the footprint of regular clothes at a reduced fraction. If one uses a sewing machine, the same would be said for the electricity generated to operate it. The only thing you are really cutting out is the time that the cloth spent being assembled into an article of clothing in a factory and potentially pad prints/silk screening. Which is fine, except this is brought up as a hobby and not as a skill for repairing existing clothing to last longer and reduce amount of clothes sold. Not that it really matters because clothes are wastefully over-produced and unsold units are sent to a landfill in another country.

As a hobby, one will often be more wasteful as they are less skilled, leading to higher initial volume of cloth purchased. Also, a lot of “practice pancakes” likely to end up directly in the local landfill.

Not that learning how to sew is bad, even as a hobby or anything. I am just skeptical on the environmental claim. I don’t see it really making that much of a difference for the average person, personally.

Plus, and this is probably just because I live in California, but fabric is morbidly expensive here. Even the cheap stuff. Its been getting more expensive since at least 2014. This has led to multiple fabric selling stores closing in my area. Cant buy what you cant afford. Even thrift shops are charging a lot. A worn-out t-shirt is like $9 USD. Which is almost the price of some brand new shirts online.
