Parties. Celebration. But things won’t really improve in the short term. Medium term, maybe the cult fractures, but fascism is much bigger than this one fuckhead.
Still, parties.

can I tell an AI to burn exactly that on Jan 1 doing absolutely nothing, and then never touch the shit for the rest of the year?

I’m gonna need to see how this tech works on Torgal and Rathalos and Alduin and other such creatures first. human faces and bodies, whatever, that’s been done to death!

Cool is subjective, though. I personally think it’s cool to offer options to change and reimagine art.
DLSS can’t imagine. It definitely can’t reimagine.
And I think it’s an affront to art in any case.

oof the dislike ratio on this video is brutal. 23k likes but 49k dislikes, at least according to PiePipe.
as it should be. DF has instantly lost all the credibility they worked so hard to earn for so many years.

The better path forward is to drop all this age verification bullshit. Completely and fully stop. NONE of it is needed. NONE of it.

Despite signing it, Newsom issued a statement urging the legislature to amend the law before its effective date, citing concerns from streaming services and game developers about “complexities such as multi-user accounts shared by a family member and user profiles utilized across multiple devices.”
then why did you fucking sign it in the first place??
words cannot describe the depths of my seething hatred for the complete, museum grade, massive piece of shit that is Gavin Newsom

- Comment on Which game have you been most patient for? 4 weeks ago:
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. I could have got it for PS5 but I knew I would end up also buying it for PC, so I just waited the year or whatever.
Doing the same with Death Stranding 2.

- Comment on Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now 4 weeks ago:
Why is that a bad thing? I can understand if the ps5 version is held back by the limitations of the ps4, but I fundamentally don’t understand why anyone thinks any game being platform-exclusive is a good thing.
- Comment on Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now 4 weeks ago:
Hard disagree. The indie gamer era has never been better.
Hell, based on my hopeless addiction to Space Station 14, it’s also a great time to an open-source gamer.
- Comment on Did anyone really think the Final Fantasy 7 remake was better than the original PS1 version? 5 weeks ago:
I had the green-sided “Greatest Hits” version of FFVII that I bought from a kmart as a young teen. Game absolutely blew me away. Cosmo Canyon’s theme song was one of the first songs I ever learned to play on my first bass guitar. I immediately developed, and to this day actively maintain, a crush on Nanaki.
I borrowed the PC port from a friend for awhile sometime around 1998-1999 and enjoyed that as well, tho I don’t remember what was different about it to be honest
Remake on PS4 blew me away. I loved it. The redone intro still brings tears to my eyes. Rebirth on PC also really really impressed me. I have spent 160 hours playing it according to Steam. I WEPT when arriving at Cosmo Canyon and hearing the reimagined theme song. I went through the Nanaki date at least ten times now.
With all that said, it’s really hard to say if the original is “better” than the 2/3 of the remake I’ve played so far. The gameplay and presentation are so wildly different,. But I guess in nearly every way, yes. all I really miss is having nearly the whole world eventually accessible to me at once. Which the third installment might address.
Neither is perfect, for sure. Original has not aged well in so, so, so many ways. And the shit with the phantoms in the new games just instantly makes my eyes glaze over.
but all in all, short answer, gun to my head? Yes.

I’m also really jonesing for the controller. Tho I have a few dualsense and xbox controllers so I don’t NEED it exactly. especially since I’m basically only playing Space Station 14 lately which very much requires keyboard and mouse
