Is that the pizzacake girl in the crystal ball?

How I feel knowing that, just by virtue of having a STEM bachelors and a bunch of cloud certs, I am way ahead of my competition in getting laid off and denied jobs for being “overqualified”

FTFY

Took me a while to see the rope.

The v2 launcher will supposedly open up 5x faster on average upon cold boots, while restoring it from the system tray will be 6.5x faster on average. That’s a huge improvement, but keep in mind that Epic got these numbers from a ridiculous test bench comprised of a 32-core AMD Threadripper, an RTX A6000, and 128GB of RAM. Not exactly consumer-grade hardware, especially during these times.

So, we can expect, at best, 1.2x faster reponse. I bet it will still be a piece of shit unreal app that’s little more than yet another electron

So, just like Pokemon Go?

I loved the Mass Effect 3 fan explanation of the ending, tying together why Shepard saw the kid while fleeing Earth in the beginning, then again at the Catalyst while heavily wounded. Of the 3 choices, the red (destroying all the mass relays and the reapers) was the only one where he stopped limping to stand up again.

In Deus Ex Human Revolution, it’s pretty easy to forget the opening cutscene by the time you’re doing shit in China and get told to go to a clinic to fix your implants, in order to stop glitching. Said cutscene shows a bunch of shadowy figures planning how to control everyone with implants.

N is a Z sideways. Check-fucking-mate, Noroark

The team demands more tea, Sebastian! Chop chop!

Is she a porn actress? Asking for myself, I’m a fucking degenerate

You’re not a company dealing with massive inventories :P

Getting down and dirty on the investigation

This one is focused on emulated games, so it’s more of “emulation as a service”

Careful, the NFT bros might try to revive that dumb idea

Regarding the “click and play” nature, not every game will load in under 10 seconds, especially as they’re planning for Dreamcast and PSP next. It works for most platforms, but not as well for CD/DVD based ones

The store for indie ROMs is interesting.

Garou: Mark of the Wolves shocked me. I was testing the Neo Geo core and ended up playing it for way longer than I meant to. The sprites are massive, the animation’s great, it still looks good now. The thing that surprised me most was the sound, actual voices and an announcer, not the bleepy chip stuff you’d expect from that era. The Neo Geo came out in 1990 and you could buy one for your living room, I just didn’t expect it to sound that good.

The hardware was old, but G:MW is from 1999 and not too different from what King of Fighters 94 offered in terms of graphics and sound, 5 years prior. Also, only rich kids could buy the Neo Geo, it was expensive as hell, the huge cartridges too.

I wonder if t-i-m-e is a slur in a different language, because it definitely ain’t in portuguese, english, spanish, italian or japanese

AI is about to join the list of “stupid technologies that people should really wait and see before investing on”, which includes

• 3D TVs - complete dud
• Blockchain - useless for real world problems already solved by typical computing
• Metaverse - still one of the best jokes around
• Folding screen phones - overpriced junk
• Fully autonomous self driving cars - “Just around the corner” for the past 10 years

• Sonic - autistic
• Call of Duty - racist
• Hazbin Hotel - gay
• Rick and Morty - elitist
• Minecrat - au/ra
• Azumanga Daioh - ra/el
• Plants vs Zombies (original) - au/el
• Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure - el/gay
• Attack on Titan - ra/gay
• Vocaloid - au/gay
• Berserk - au/el/gay
• Neon Genesis Evangelion - el/ra/gay
• Touhou Project - au/el/ra
• My Little Pony - au/ra/gay

Just noticed that the Sonic Advance games haven’t been re-released in the west, they’re tough but good platforming games of the GBA era. Sonic Battle is another GBA game that is actually a fun battler.

Of the 3D games, people always prefer Sonic Adventure 2, which I also think is better than Sonic Adventure 1 - it shows its age more than 2 - and although most people don’t seem to like it, most levels of Sonic Heroes are interesting or fun, but having to play through all of them 4 times to unlock the final ending is a fucking chore.

PS1, I had the original gray box and later the small white boy. Both modded to accept any CD from the get go (yay for Brazilian piracy!), which brought me great joy once broadband internet reached my home in late 2003.

Really telling that between “being exposed as an unfaithful husband” and “being “threatened” to be “friends” with the owner of pedo island”, he preferred the latter.
