With you 100% of the way, except I’m not sure I would have gotten it without the comment nudge.

Disagree. A frisbee cat would be one who knocks the frisbees out of the air, like how they catch birds. Unlikely to engage in retrieval action, but cats do play.

Not a hack, a pc remake, hence the ability to do widescreen. The NES doesn’t have the physical capability for that.

But it is good. Really good. It also has new content that’s genuinely fun, too.

I only wish it fixed the enemy shield AI so that it wasn’t perfect all the time… granted, there are still ways to win against it, I just wish that jump attacking wasn’t effectively the ONLY way to do it. Imagine if you could bait them to commit to one location while you stabbed the other. Alas.

Because I wasn’t familiar with this project before, and it took a bit of digging on the website to find out, and OP seems to think everyone knows already… this is a project to remake the NES Earthbound game (Mother 1) to the SNES, by means of romhacking SNES Earthbound (Mother 2). It also comes with a bunch of bug fixes to that engine, and they provide a separate patch file you can use to fix the regular Earthbound game without turning it into the Mother 1 remake.

That relief is pretty darn tiny too. I feel like I just have more anxiety about the other things my ED won’t let me do that I need to do.

The biggest difference I see in what they’re proposing is that, in EVE, yes you train skills while logged off but you can’t be ganked, and in fact, logging off is a way to protect yourself from ganking in some circumstances. In the new game, presumably you can be ganked while logged off.

I hold that If their claims were true, any sketchy marketing would be forgiven very, very quickly.

Technically, they have a very short distance to climb if they wanted to: just give the battery (or preferably multiple batteries) to an independent 3rd party to test to their hearts content. If they aren’t full of shit, that’d clear things up in an instant. If someone can show their claims are true, that’s all they need.

If they are completely full of shit, then there’s no no way out of the hole. I think this is unlikely given the carefully selected tests they’ve already released— they have… something. It likely isn’t an entirely non-existent product appearing only on paper.

If they are only partially full of shit, in that they have a battery that is decent or better than current batteries but not totally fulfilling their claims, then it’s a moderate hole to climb out of. Some egg on the face, but survivable.

If they are substantially full of shit, with batteries that are equivalent or worse than current batteries, then they’re gonna be laughed out of the market real fast. Probably mentioned in the same breath as Peter Molyneux, for similar reasons.

The fuck does walking speed have to do with orientation? Do men get less gay as they get older and slow down?

Oh, he was. He was in the wrong, utterly. But that’s not the story. The story and the reality are not the same thing. The story is that of an individual aggrieved, facing against an unstoppable faceless bureaucracy, who took matters into his own hands in the footsteps of our national heroes of the revolutionary war and the pioneers, and built a manly and impressive machine to enact that will with his own strength.

Nearly every word of the story is factually incorrect, but the story is so compelling, so resonant with our cultural values we’ve been taught since childhood, that the story takes in a life of its own.

Never heard of krita, I’ll have to check it out.

I don’t know. With the exception of a single feature, I’ve found photoshop better to use than GIMP. The one feature exception is GIMP’s wonderful “color to alpha” feature, and I always keep a gimp install around just for it.

Photoshop just seems easier to use, and more robust? With nicer effects, better filters, etc etc? At least for the features I tend to use. I’m not a professional by any means, but I tweak and composite and blend images a fair bit for my various hobbies (mostly ttrpgs).

For this reason, Dovah is typically considered an English “relex” rather than a conlang. Relex = Re-Lexicon.

I find it helpful to realize that Chuck Norris memes are not about Chuck Norris, the human man, but rather Chuck Norris the fae-shadow who has devoured his story.

This is true for a lot of public figures, in fact. The story of a person can take on a life of its own, independent from the person itself. No, of course faeries aren’t real, but it’s a useful mental model.

I would highly suspect he forgot to edit it out. That seems so much more likely to me.

Yeah, the intro is a bit long, no denying that. I personally find the build up worth it though in terms of narrative payoff. But I do always dread the slow start when I replay it. Fair.

It’s not? OoT has a nice pc port too.

Not to mention that Twilight Princess is a good game, and beloved by many.

It only kinda works like this. If you have two slits, looking at it or not, you will see the top one. Now, the really weird thing is that if you fire a single photon at a time, you will still get the top one over time, suggesting that the single photon is somehow going through both slits and interfering with itself to do so. But the even weirder thing is, if you place a detector in one of the two slits to check which slit the photon is going through? You suddenly get the bottom picture.

Businesses are capable of providing useful things to the world. It’s a good thing to enable companies to improve the world while disabling their ability to harm it.

Then set the percentage based on the margin? Something that would genuinely hurt without simply dismantling the business, so there’s still something left to correct itself?
