Early voting is a better solution to the problem than making it a day off, though.

Leave memos around the party talking about your experiments, on Umbrella Corp letterhead

Presumably because they are continually picking up new players from younger age groups while retaining many older players, but I don’t really have any interest in those games so I don’t know much about them. I’m not really seeing how this directly relates to my comment, either.

Or uh maybe old games are still good and it makes sense to provide an easy way for newer generations to play them? If a record label remasters a Beatles album do we get mad over that? Music doesn’t have an expiration date so why should games?

It turns out that a German word for ticket is…“ticket”

No ticket.

When you’re spending $300M on a game budget you don’t want to take a lot of risks. But I don’t think there’s any lack of creativity coming from the market as a whole. Most dire pronouncements on the state of games are only really true if you ignore indies.

Like honestly, I think GOW and Spider-Man and Horizon are fine, but I’d rather see Sony put out several AA games that take risks than crank out another sequel to those.

I mean, their position is that they as the rights holders can republish how they please, but that buying a cartridge does not give you license to play on other devices. You can disagree with them on legal or philosophical grounds but their position isn’t really inconsistent.

Plus you can do stuff like reset the emulator to a certain state pretty easily. Without having to reboot the hardware or anything. So you could do an exhibit on level 7 and have the game queued up to the level the exhibit is about.

The original is locked at 30fps, and they’ve got an in-house studio which remade Demon’s Souls. Seems like low-hanging fruit. Game is almost a decade old so it seems like a reasonable time frame.

I’m not really part of the group opposed to remakes though. I just don’t buy them if I feel like they’re unnecessary.

Don’t chase all the markers on your map, most of them are crap and you’ll burn out.

The reviews on starfield, at launch, weren’t actually all that harsh. Even now it has an 83 metacritic.

Pretty famous among FromSoft fans.

IX wasn’t nearly as good as VIII, IMO. The movement and combat felt good but the pacing was awful (too Trails-like) and the story and characters were nothing special.

Just a few years ago you weren’t downvoted just because someone disagreed with your opinion.

Yeah, no, “downvote is jot a disagree button” has always been aspirational on reddit.

I don’t know honestly. Really, with AI it would be pretty difficult to be foolproof. I’m thinking of the MIT card counting group and how they played as archetypal players to obscure their activities. You could easily make an account that upvoted content in a way that looked plausible. I’m sure there are many real humans that upvote stories positive to one political party and downvote a different political party. Edit: I mean fuck, if you wanted to, you could create an instance just to train your model. Edit 2: For that matter, you could create an instance to bypass any screening for botters…

If there were, upbotters would use it to verify that new bottling methods weren’t detectable. There’s a reason why reddit has so much obfuscation around voting and bans.

Is it possible to get a report of which posts are being voted by them?

Haven’t played it so I have no opinion on its quality, but that came out a decade ago.

The fact that this comment is getting upvoted is why I fucking hate this place.
