• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Cat's Eye" Anime Remake Announced with Teaser Visual, PV⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Every time anime studios do this the new one just feels completely sterilized. The art style did a lot of heavy lifting of old anime. While a good story is always good, the new art style can really make an okay story seem worse.

  Trigun, IMO, is a good example that suffered greatly from this. Even though the writing on a technical level was better in the new one, I still found the art style of the original made the original vastly superior overall.

  While I am interested to see more, I am concerned this will follow the rest of modern “sterilized” anime.

  Politics is so tiresome.

  Absolutely no chance it wins any of them though.

  Not because it doesn’t deserve to win at least one, it definitely does, but because the people who count for 90% of the vote were literally writing misinformation riddled hit pieces and for some reason think that Chinese gamers are only 3/5ths of a gamer or something.

  What in the FuwaMoco am I looking at, and why do these characters look so similar?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 124 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, they were new bugs, not ones present in the original game. Bugs in the original graphics mode that made some parts too dark and others too bright, for example. Or the wrong texture being used on the wrong surface. That kind of thing.

  I don’t mind if bugs from the original release are left in there. IMO, if it was part of the experience back when the game was new and was never fixed, then unless its some egregious error that could brick your console or PC, I think it should be left in exactly as it was. But new bugs that were only present in the Anniversary and later MCC releases, that’s just embarrassing for 343/Halo Studios.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 124 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Bugs, for one. So many, many bugs. Bugs that remained unfixed for years.

  Also, graphics. I don’t mean fidelity, because fidelitywise they were pretty good for the time. I mean the complete change in art style. Anything forerunner became riddled with lines that made the designs overly busy. The reuse of Reach assets instead of actually remaking the assets to match the original game. Its like at that point, are they even remastering the game? Not to mention how many changes to the environment models were inaccurate enough to cause players to try to shoot through or walk through invisible collision geometry of the original game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 124 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Its so unfortunate that 343 messed up CE Anniversary so badly. But at least they did a lot better with Halo 2 Anniversary (though that is also not without its issues).

  Now with a rebrand to Halo Studios, which was 100% caused by their poor stewardship of the series and the ruining of their own reputation beyond redemption, 343 will have to super-over-deliver with whatever they come out with next.

  And I pray it is not a CE Remake. They messed it up already once before, just leave it alone and do something different with Halo. Make ODST 2 or some new story about a new Spartan entirely, I am tired of my favorite characters and stories being butchered these days.

  Nintendo is still figuring out how to send emails, so I am doubtful on that one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You Pay For It, We Own It - Sony's $7.9B Lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it stealing though? Theft, as it is legally defined, requires depriving the original owner of the thing you are stealing. Stealing a car for example, means the owner cannot drive the car since you have it.

  If you could take someone else’s car, but they still have access to their car as if it was never taken, is that really stealing?

  All equally good to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your best isekai anime?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like Overlord. Its got good worldbuilding but it also doesn’t always take itself too seriously and throws in some comedy every now and then to keep it lively.

  I also really liked Knights & Magic. There are not enough medieval fantasy / mecha hybrid shows out there, despite anime being the perfect medium for it.

  Skeleton in Another World was a fun one once you get past the first episode. The attempted rape scene in the beginning just shows too much on screen IMO, it would have been better to cut some of it short and show scenes around rather than what was actually shown. Very uncomfortable, which I hope is what its supposed to make the viewer feel, but then literwlly none of the rest of the show is every that intensity. Like it was almost Perfect Blue levels of showing too much for too long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your best isekai anime?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My biggest problem with Mushoku, and why I feel like I literally cannot recommend it, is because of the weird pedo stuff. It would be fine and easy to forget I guess if the show stayed in fantasy mode, but for whatever reason any yime there is something slightly sexual the show writers decide to remind the viewer “erm actually the main character is a 40+ year old man.” That just pulls me right out of the show.

  To other parts are cool, but that one thing really stops me from enjoying it more.

  Turns out when you actually make video games and sell them, you can record higher profits than years you didn’t do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it offensive for me as a man to dress as a male version of a female fictional character for Halloween?'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, Lemmy users are just mean, worse than Redditors. Add in internet anonymity and you get users that just dont care about other people, even going out of their way to harass or try to fight by writing comments like they’re trying to catch someone in a trap they think is clever.

  Thankfully I can block entire instances so I dont have to deal with most of them. Its just a shame, because Lemmy was supposed to be better than Reddit, but I am seeing more that its almost worse. The only reason I even still use Lemmy is because I don’t like the Reddit mobile app. That’s literally it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it offensive for me as a man to dress as a male version of a female fictional character for Halloween?'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not everyone I meet treats me the way people on Lemmy treat me. I am a kind person and most people, while apathetic, are not so rude as Lemmy users. It’s a great quote, but ultimately not applicable to this particular situation. Have a good day, or not, make of it however you will.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix and Black Ops 6 nuketown this weekend, which will you be playing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I will be playing Stellaris intead, lol. Not a fan of Fortnite and never got into CoD after Workd at War came out. Felt like they were less and less about the soldiers that gave their lives protecting their country, and more about being some romanticized war hero shooter. War is bad but I don’t think that soldiers who fought in them should be disrespected. I just feel like the new CoD games glorify war and violence more than the older games did, and I am not about that.

  I love it when I say what I think and people don’t have a real response so they just call me a troll, lol.

  That’s fine, block me so I don’t have to deal with you anymore, I’m cool with that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it offensive for me as a man to dress as a male version of a female fictional character for Halloween?'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In case someone reading had a similar question about race. Why do you care, do people of different races bother you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it offensive for me as a man to dress as a male version of a female fictional character for Halloween?'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont think so, nor do I care. Black people dress up as white characters all the time, I consider it the same. Dressing up as a character means that character means something to you, so I dont see where anyone should be offended by it.

  Interesting choice. I hope it is successful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, looking at how modern game development studios handle remakes, I wouldn’t want them anywhere near any of my beloved games. I haven’t played a single remake in the last 20 years where I felt like the studio that made it knocked it out of the park.

  Also, I strongly believe good games should not be remade, and only remastered/ “deluxe remastered” (where even if the game is remade, its a 1:1 faithful recreation with additional features and gameplay mechanics being optional). Remake the games that weren’t great, give them another chance at big success.

  • Sonic 2006
  • the XenoSaga games (don’t @ me XS fans, you know the combat and boss design in those games were terrible, 1 had DOMO Carrier, Tiamat, and whatever was going on in Song of Nephilim)
  • Most Konami games in the late 90s - mid 2010s
  • LAPD Future Cop
  • etc
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you like/dislike about lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Connect app for Lemmy actually has this feature, and it really is a gamechanger. I mean, it makes Lemmy kinda into a desolate wasteland of posts, but its better than seeing most of the garbage I don’t care about and don’t want to interact with.

  Granted, this also relies on users putting said keywords in the title of their post, so I still end up seeing stuff I don’t want to, but it is drastically decreased.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you like/dislike about lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the way Lemmy functions, with things like an open moderator log and the way that instances can be created to prevent too much control from one singular instance from pushing people completely off the platform if they have bad moderation, for example.

  I don’t like the users. For every one user that is nice and wants to have a legitimate conversation, there are like 300 that just want to fight/argue or spew politics into a non-political conversation. The number of users I have blocked on Lemmy is far longer than the amount of users I ever blocked on Reddit, and my Reddit account existed for about 10 years. This Lemmy account has only been around for about 1/10th of that.

  One of the biggest strengths of Lemmy is also one of its biggest curses. Due to its federated nature, anyone can create a new instance. The problem with this is that particularly nasty users can keep creating accounts on instances they keep creating in order to harass people they don’t like. So even if you block them, they just switch to a new account, etc. They can also do this for vote manipulation, not like that really matters on Lemmy but Lemmy users seem to have fallen victim to the same problem Redditors had: seeing a comment with 0 or -1 score and then completely disregarding whatever it said, not reading it and downvoting it automatically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you like/dislike about lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reddit 2.0 lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is lemmy really any different from reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really. More politically far-left than Reddit is (and more political just in general, actually), but other than that Lemmy is more or less the same when it comes to how its users act and treat each other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video game libraries lose legal appeal to emulate physical game collections online⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Emulation is 100% legal, at least in the USA. Do you mean downloading a copy of such a game from the internet? Because I would agree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video game libraries lose legal appeal to emulate physical game collections online⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t have to work that way. It works that way because they have more money, not because it is good for humanity.
