Third game turns it around - those guys are the bad guys, they always have been. The second game was an “enemy mine” kind of situation. Not every fascist is facist for facism’s sake. A lot of them think they’re saving tbe world. You, as the player, make sure they get what’s coming to hem.

All you need is a frequency modulator and to send four pulses of a specific amplitude at the right time in sequence, and then all the bullet costs are discounted.
- Comment on Palworld Developer Reveals The Pokémon Patents Nintendo Claims It's Violating 2 months ago:
People who don’t like Palworld, maybe give a real reason? The AI stuff was made up by a salty troll who admitted later he made it up. It being “legally distinct from pokémon” isn’t a good enough reason. It having the ability to ::: spoiler Spoiler butcher your Pals for resources ::: may be a reason to be upset about the gameplay, but then again, many, many, many RPGs have you culling the local wildlife and depopulating a nation for quests too. Neither is the Genshin Impact art style a reason to hate it. That’s just JRPG asthetics.

You do migrate to newer Linuxes with new de and python versions, and all the breaking changes that entails which means spendjng another week chasing down broken stuff.

- Comment on Whatever happened to racing games 2 months ago:
Turns out vehicle simulations are hard. You either have games that play like a cabinet arcade or require a “simmer” setup (control cockpit) to really be good at.
And then there’s the work that goes into the level of detail. Example, Forza Horizon 5 doesn’t even have the underside of most cars modelled, to save on polys and performance, but there’s still a lot of little details that have to be modelled, textured, and sound recorded. This is even more important when a driving game goes into VR, because you will notice when something in the interior is missing or offmodel.
- Comment on Crunchyroll just Committed a Federal Crime. 2 months ago:
There’s another post above that explains why. Basically it’s a monopoly on anime streaming, and they’ve done a popular voice actor dirty by intercepting his mail, which opening someone else’s mail without permission is a federal crime, especially since they legit stole what was in the packages.

The irony is, the top world record runs on Trackmania (a not-a-hot-wheels track time trial driving game) tracks are done by keyboard drivers. Driving a high performance car on a crazy, loop-de-loopy jumps and bumps and speed boosters tracks is quickest with … WASD controls.
