PAX is probably the closest thing we have left in the US

…but it does look pretty nice

I don’t know if this can really be called “HD-2D”. This seems more like “2.5D” with the amount of 3D graphics in use

I’m fairly convinced this whole Doom game is just a way for them to prep the Id Tech engine for the needs of the next Skyrim game

A few, but you’re going to see a flood of UE5 games soon

I think the dedicated block to handle decompression is the biggest innovation the PS5 brought in, beyond M2 SSDs

I thought the story sounded unique and interesting. But now that I’ve realized it’s a turn-based RPG I’m way more hyped about it!

This looks fun. I’d love to try it, but I don’t see any console support 🙁

The frame rate on this trailer looked atrocious 😬

I truly believe there were only 2 factors that mattered in its death. First and foremost was the massive amount of debt the failure of the Saturn had left Sega already trying to recover from. If they hadn’t had that to worry about it would have been financially successful as it stood.

The second factor was more insidious. Sony did such a good job hyping up the PS2 that people really believed it would be way more powerful than the DC. Yet the DC could produce better graphics than the PS2 at launch. But that’s not what the public perception was. I worked at Electronic’s Boutique during the PS2’s launch, and no matter how much I tried it was impossible to diffuse the hype around it when I would try to convince people there was no need to wait and they should get a Dreamcast today rather than waiting for the PS2. But it was a lost cause most of the time. And ultimately those people are better off with how things eventually played out

You could also make your Chao fight each other, kinda like a Pokemon battle. Required two VMUs hooked together

I used to have Chao fights with my friend at lunch in high school. The VMUs totally worked

It’s because the US doesn’t have anti-monopoly laws. We have laws that you can’t abuse your monopoly powers. And in this case, it was easier to prove against Google.

But it’s still bullshit. Vertical Integration is just a vertical monopoly

So we need git add . && git commit -a here really

EVs are just a drop in the bucket. Most of the greenhouse gasses come from factories and industrial use

It’s not FOSS, but Google’s adding this feature right into Photos

No one knows how they work because they’ve been restricted from researchers

Standard practice at game stores for over 20 years. They do this to prevent theft. Before this policy got instituted we’d have angry people showing up with empty cases because someone slipped it out of the box and then out of the store
