  Bugfixes are a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” thing with remasters. Purists and speedrunners often prefer bugs remain unfixed, others don’t

  But I definitely see what you mean with the overly busy designs and inaccurate models. I actually died once to my own rocket launcher because I thought I was shooting through a gap between a cliffside and a tree but the gap acted like an invisible wall

  I’m curious what you think they messed up with CE anniversary? I just recently played through it and can’t remember any changes besides the graphics, which can be switched back to normal by simply pressing the Tab key

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TSA silent on CrowdStrike’s claim Delta skipped required security update⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love how this whole debacle has turned into a finger-pointing party

  “We, Microsoft, didn’t do it, CrowdStrike did!”

  “We, CrowdStrike, didn’t do it, the airlines did!”

  Of course, this would be fine if done for technical purposes, but it’s actually being done to reverse stock price dips and make the boards of directors happy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feds Say You Don’t Have a Right to Check Out Retro Video Games Like Library Books⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  archive.org is the modern proposal of a library, and yeah, look what’s happened to them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Website Allows You To View And Interact With Retro PC Game Boxes in 3D⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A Steam library view with shelves of boxes would be so cool. Sorta like what GOG has

  It’s not even cheap anymore :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Few truly shocked that NFL player used illegal stream to watch his own team⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What lol not even close. NFL+ is $100/yr and you get every game. Sure, they’re replays and not live games, but honestly that’s the best way to watch American football so you can skip over the absurd amount of commercials. Cuts the 3 hr broadcasts down to 2 hr. They also have condensed versions that they post a couple hours after the game ends which cuts out everything between whistles, so it’s just the actual plays. Cuts the 3 hr broadcast down to 45 min. If you’re a football mega nerd, they also have coach’s versions where it shows the 22-man camera angle of every play.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you leave your consoles on?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Haven’t owned a cartridge system since I lived under parents and yeah, it was the same for me, turn it off when you’re done using it because it’ll drive the power bill up and money doesn’t grow on trees and all that. I can’t imagine systems like the SNES or N64 really drew that much power though? But as a tree hugger and an engineer, I tend to avoid any level of waste. I doubt cartridges suffer from any significant wear from being left on, since they’re just solid state electronics.

  Anything with a fan gets immediately turned off when my session ends because I’m hyper sensitive to fan noise (not sure if this is an autism thing?)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Comic Sans Got the Last Laugh⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Comic Sans really isn’t that bad, it’s just one of those things that became trendy to hate by people who are incapable of developing their own personality. Like the word “moist”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smash Bros. Creator Masahiro Sakurai Quits YouTube With Final Video Teasing Mystery New Game⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not every game has to be an e-sport my friend, some games can be fun

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smash Bros. Creator Masahiro Sakurai Quits YouTube With Final Video Teasing Mystery New Game⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  that game will live on forever

  And Melee fans will still refuse to play it for whatever reason

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like Nintendo’s attack on emulation any more than you do, but video capture cards have existed for a long time. You don’t need an emulator to record footage of console play

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Super Game Boy Plus: Ultimate Super Game Boy Upgrade with Enhanced Features⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what I’m getting at, Nintendo only needs the argument “this could be used to rip a game onto the cartridge, then distribute it” and US courts will bend over and grant them the DMCA strike

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Super Game Boy Plus: Ultimate Super Game Boy Upgrade with Enhanced Features⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone help me understand the feature to lock a game to the cartridge - does this mean it copies the game data into the SNES cartridge so you don’t need the GameBoy cart anymore? If so, this could give Nintendo’s lawyers enough power to shut this project down, which would be very sad

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Japan plans to stop repairing its Classic Edition consoles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure this is sad, but what even breaks in these? They’re single board computers inside plastic shells. Of course the controllers can break/wear out but those are easily replaceable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5 USB-C Cable Housing in Various PlayStation Controller Styles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re referring to the weight of the housing leveraging the connector, I think printing with a low infill would make that a non-issue. The cable itself is going to be much heavier by comparison

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Secret calculator hack brings ChatGPT to the TI-84, enabling easy cheating⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You knew what I meant but chose to leave a Reddit-ass comment anyways

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Secret calculator hack brings ChatGPT to the TI-84, enabling easy cheating⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok but calculators are only allowed in math class and if there’s one thing language models suck at, it’s doing basic math. Forget anything at least as complicated as algebra

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An Avalanche of Generative AI Videos Is Coming to YouTube Shorts⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hopefully this will be what finally convinces YouTube to get rid of Shorts. I doubt there is a single creator that solely uploads to Shorts, they’re just reposts of Reels and TikToks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple told to pay back €13bn in tax by EU⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely, but maintaining their status as a tax haven is more important I guess

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Worst examples of Treknobabble⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, as an engineer, I can tell you that sort of group solving DOES happen in meetings sometimes, but it’s the speed they do it at in the show that’s unrealistic. At the same time, slowing it down would make for bad television so idk

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Request to lemmy: can you please allow non-latin letters as well⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This thread is news to me. Unicode is Unicode, no? Why restrict to Latin letters?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube to restrict teenagers’ exposure to videos about weight and fitness⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So where is the line drawn? What about the teens who want to lookup how to do an exercise correctly without getting injured? The people who make these videos are usually very fit (big surprise!)

  I have a feeling this is going to be driven by some AI model that’s gonna do more harm than good

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banjo-Kazooie N64 Decompiled: PC Ports on the Horizon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The lawsuit dance has already been done. Can’t sue over decompiled code, but they can sue over assets, so anyone who wants to actually play something made with a decompilation has to supply a “legal” ROM that’s rightfully “theirs” for the assets to be sourced from

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Research shows more than 80% of AI projects fail, wasting billions of dollars in capital and resources: Report⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  if I want to stay employed

  I think this is a little paranoid. Somebody has to handle the production models - deploying them to servers, maintaining the servers, developing the APIs and front ends that provide access to the models… I don’t think software dev jobs are going anywhere

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft backtracks on deprecating the 39-year-old Windows Control Panel | Microsoft has either backtracked or clarified its language to remove the note about Control Panel being deprecated⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The updated language is what they’ve been saying since a couple years after Windows 10 came out. This story just went back to not being news lol

  Yeah, clearly the author doesn’t know about Stalin

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one’s ready for this: Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality are about to go up in smoke.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How is it sad? If they’re young and/or don’t have the best schooling, it’s not their fault they haven’t heard of it. And then they encounter an absurd picture and approach it with skepticism? That’s not sad at all. Healthy skepticism is good, especially with the influx of AI generated content
