Thanks for the context, that all makes sense to me.

When you say “document your code” what kind of documentation are you talking about?

I feel like the nes->snes, gb->gbc->GBA, ds->3ds, and wii->WiiU were all pretty similar advancements.

In all of those except nes->snes you had backwards compatability, and the wii->WiiU had hardware backwards compatibility (which the switch 2 doesn’t, at least for controllers).

I like that the arguement is that there are technical limitations to age restricting graphic content, so the best course of action is limiting people’s rights.

Seems like people’s rights should be more important.

I suspect this is an area where we may see AI assets help speed up development for smaller studios.

I mean you can easily flip those things.

America recovered faster and stronger from Covid than pretty much every other nation (without a recession), he’s the president who was finally able to get us out of Afghanistan (something the past two president’s tried and failed to do), and the infrastructure bill has been seen as a success I thought from most perspectives.

Not saying this is the right way to look at these events, but just that historians won’t be tied to knee jerk reactions. However, like most president’s I think opinions about Biden will largely be defined by what his actions led to down the road more than his impact during his presidency. What happens with Trump and onward will have an outsized impact on how Biden is written about in the history books.

It’s not about doing the things it’s about the optics of saying you’ll do them. The wall isn’t done and never will be. Even if it was it would never deliver what was promised.

Its all about optics and it’s why Trump sabotaged the immigration reform bill. It would show democrats are capable of actually executing/delivering in a way he can’t.

But they’re the minority, most games have gatcha/pay-to-win mechanics. It’s actually hard to find some simple games where you aren’t harassed to buy things.

Why use small screen when have big screen?

Then use small screen and big screen!

Ah, bucatini, the devilse pasta. Nothing like accidentally aspirating on your pasta sauce.

It’s a video game where you use a slot machine to pay your landlord rent. So all the “gambling” is using fake in-game currency. What makes it more of a game is that you can choose upgrades/modifiers for the slot machine to adjust the odds for certain outcomes.

I’m not sure you understand what causes world hunger.

I’ve been playing Sonic Frontiers, which has been surprisingly fun. It has a similar vibe to what “Mario Odyssey” did for mario, the mixture of 3D, camera controlled, and 2D segments was done well in my opinion.

If you have a pc/steamdeck there is a metroid prime hack pack that gives you more standard joystick controls for all three games. I’d recommend playing that way.

Yeah in the modern age internet access should be considered a necessity. There are a lot of things you can’t do without the internet (like get a job or pay bills).

Yeah, it was really a disappointment. The humor never quite landed so I was primarily there to see what they would do with the story. While I know it ended earlier than they planned, what/how they wrapped it up showed there wasn’t too much there to begin with.

Yeah, “tied up” just means it had an ending. I’m not sure I really even understood what really happened in that show. It felt like a new arc started before the previous was halfway through and then different subtle parts of previous arcs sorta mattered for the current, but not in any meaningful way.

Yeah, everyone in the thread was calling out that the image was AI/wrong, but figured some proof would help.

Just for reference, this is a real platypus:

I never got to the end as it just kept getting worse and worse. I only made it to where he escapes and gets caught again.
