This is so dramatic and condescending. God forbid they just make something that people like. A lot of the areas that Nintendo makes top sellers in, other companies don’t even bother to compete.

Outside of indies, there aren’t many games like Animal Crossing, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario Sports titles, etc.

If you don’t believe me, watch the Summer gaming launch streams. It’s just 3rd person action, FPS, indie. 3rd person action, FPS, indie. With half of those games being GaaS to boot. Repeat for 1hr and end show. Platformers, kart racers, horror games, Metroidvanias, top down adventure, party games, these genres have just been abandoned to indies.

People like Nintendo because they make accessible, fun games that other major publishers don’t. They make games that you pay once for, even if that price is high. They make games that you can play together. They make games END, which is a shocking concept for an industry that wants to drip feed you and make your life about just their game, forever until you die.

Money. Saved you a click.

What a terrible article. Literally says a bunch of stuff about affordability, then says “it’s not all about affordability”, then immediately cites an example that IS about affordability.

“I can live in my dream home and still walk to the bar” is 100% affordability. There are tons of areas of Toronto where that is possible. The problem? You can’t afford them.

People move out of the city because they can’t get what they want at a price they can afford, and they aren’t willing to concede on those things to stay. That’s it. Every other reason is a statistical aberration.

If significantly more people are leaving, it’s not because there are new reasons. It’s because more people have crossed that threshold due to delayed life starts, stagnant wages and skyrocketing housing costs.

Articles like this are a waste of column inches that could be spent on talking about why people can’t afford those things. Instead of acting like the mystery is why people are leaving, investigate the actual issue of why they can’t afford to stay.

Yep. I will never vote for him again for this reason. I used to vote strategically based on my current riding, but I’m just straight NDP now.

This was a concrete and clear promise, and he 100% broke it and didn’t even try. The Liberal candidate would have basically always been my 2nd choice in a ranked system.

Now they get nothing. I hope it was worth it.

Wow if I had to guess what the next zombie franchise would be I wouldn’t have picked Surgeon Simulator.

Looks like the original devs fell on hard times and sold their IPs to another company, who is now in turn selling them to the video game graveyard.

Good summary but you missed the part where Michel left Ubisoft and they 100% shitcanned the whole project.

Gex’s voice and lines are so iconic and specific, I hope they have every regions lines. Not having them will ruin the nostalgia for any region that’s missed.

Plus, people who know Gex from memes and YouTube will expect the US voice & lines, so you really want to cover all your bases.

EDIT - Oh it’s LRG, then judging by Clock Tower it’ll be the same games with some new art. Disappointing.

Am I the only one disappointed with how lazy this is? They put more effort into Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties than this. I have no idea why it has taken 3 years to make when it look like the original game with a translation patch running in an emulator.

I realize they’ve animated some intros and drawn some new art and stuff, but it would have been nice to get a faithful remake like SMRPG, or like The Dragon’s Trap where they redraw everything and make it widescreen but offer you the option to return to original graphics at any time.

If all they were going to do is QoL improvements and stuff like that, I would have preferred that they just don’t do the new animations and instead include Clock Tower PSX & Struggle Within with QoL improvements in one package.

The way it is it’s just not enough of an improvement over the SNES original with a translation patch to be worthwhile. Which is a shame because the people most likely to buy this are the same people who know how to get the translated SNES ROM very easily.

Looks awesome! 7 boards too, which I think ties for most ever?

you certainly won’t regret being bitten by 50 asps

That oughta hold those S.O.Bs.

If you wore a shirt that says “there is no god” you would likely be sent home. It’s antagonistic, regardless of how you feel on the issue.

I know if I was a 7th grader and this stupid little shit and his dickhead friends wore this into class, I would feel it was equally antagonistic, except far worse because it seeks to upset a minority that is already going through the wringer.

It runs contrary to the purpose of a school, which is to educate. Your other examples are more of a case-by-case thing, but if a Christian student said they were offended by that shirt, then the student might be asked to not wear it in the future.

Wow what a disappointing headline. I actually gasped and was so excited, turns out it’s another hard-to-find recreation.

I can already spend $100USD and get them from Lofty Pursuits. What I was hoping for was the original; which is what the headline said.

Russian & Chinese foreign influence is a well documented fact, almost every tech company publishes a transparency report on this, you can just look them up. These accounts almost exclusively push right wing politics.

There is zero evidence of the opposite happening. That’s the difference. One is true and the other is false.

But those end up being the same in practice. If you have to put up a disclaimer that the info might be wrong, then who would use it? I can get the wrong answer or unverified heresay anywhere. The whole point of contacting the company is to get the right answer; or at least one the company is forced to stick to.

This isn’t just minor AI growing pains, this is a fundamental problem with the technology that causes it to essentially be useless for the use case of “answering questions”.

They can slap as many disclaimers as they want on this shit; but if it just hallucinates policies and incorrect answers it will just end up being one more thing people hammer 0 to skip past or scroll past to talk to a human or find the right answer.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins the movie by telling you how it ends. Well I say there are some things we don’t want to know! Important things!

I know, but the only touch optimized one is glui and it just doesn’t look good. It’s more than a skin issue too, the app is just clunky.

I appreciate that it has so many options, but if it offered just a simplified layer similar to Delta, it would be amazing. Right now it just throws too much at you for the person who just wants to just play a game.

I am shocked this got approved already, and unaltered too.

ScummVM, Provenance, Ignited and Folium are all stuck in review, and as far as I can tell this is the complete RetroArch with no changes or compromises.

It’s also already the best PSX emulator because it doesn’t crash with external controllers and supports hi resolution.

I just wish RetroArch in general had a better interface. The XMB interface isn’t bad on PC but on mobile it’s just so clunky.

EDIT - They also have an Apple TV version!! I’m even more shocked.

EDIT 2 - PPSSPP Standalone also launched! https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/ppsspp-psp-emulator/id6496972903

Fixed.

You heard him game companies. Never bother fixing a mistake, because people who live to complain will just continue to complain, and everyone else won’t care.

Sure that’s the message you want to send?
