I want a 3D Pokémon in the graphics style of Animal Crossing New Horizons, the lighting and shading in that game looks way better than whatever GameFreak makes. The last couple of 3D Pokémon games look so generic, basically bog standard anime game.

but I don’t know how that squares with incoming PC ports for Death Stranding 2 and the sequel to Kena.

These publishing contracts have been signed years ago. So that’s not evidence of the contrary. Sony could be in a stage now where they do not take on new PC projects.

Business casual is a dress shirt and chinos/dress pants, loafers and sometimes a blazer/sports coat. Basically the omission of the tie and the fancy dress shoes makes it business casual. A polo and chinos is only business casual in a big box store or the tech industry. Anywhere else it’s just casual.

Yeah but their R sound sits between an R and an L sounds. They don’t have a separate L and R sound. Hence when they transliterate foreign words they use ラリルレロ both for L and R sounds. It’s why Japanese mix up their Rs and Ls when they talk or write a foreign language like English or Spanish. It’s much harder for them to hear the difference since they didn’t grow up hearing L and R as separate sounds. But also the way they learn foreign languages doesn’t help either. Since they use their kana system to learn pronunciations.

But non native Japanese speakers also have a hard time pronouncing the R the Japanese way. It’s like a rolling R but only a single tap to the palate.

Yeah many gamers assume devs don’t optimize their games because they are lazy. But every dev wants to optimize their games but they can’t when management doesn’t allocate time and money to optimize.

That’s how it works on Windows already. You buy a cert from a third party vendor so your setup file can pass Windows security checks and doesn’t show a big warning to the user when they open the setup file.

Yeah but that won’t stop people from manually submitting prs made with AI. A lot of the slop isn’t just automated pull requests but people using AI to find and fix “bugs”, without understanding the code at all.

Probably cheaper to buy a residence permit in the EU via those Golden Visa investment programs some countries have. And just make use of their health care system. Though Van Der Beek could have been on a experimental drug, which wouldn’t be covered in the EU anyway.

A jury of peers

Nah homework is how you create discipline in kids. So they learn how to do things on their own, plan and focus on things without constantly having an authoritarian figure watching them.

It’s why the smartest kids who never had to do homework or prep often struggle when they go to university where they have to read entire chapters to prepare for every class. Because they lack the discipline to plan and focus.

And even outside work life there are plenty of things where an adult needs discipline and planning skills to live a successful life.

This game feels like it was an executive decision from the PlayStation C-suite and not by the studio independently. And ironically the head of PlayStation Studios is the former CEO of Guerrilla Games. This guy is probably behind Sony’s desperate attempts to own a successful live service multiplayer game

Sony is desperately trying to own a live service game that will generate positive cash flow month after month for the next decade without investing hundreds of millions of dollars. Sony has some of the best selling single player games this gen but each game costs them a hundred million dollar or more to build and promote and more than half a decade to make. since their audience expects the most realistic looking games. Which is a huge risk to them when multiple games flops and when a game is successful it will generate most of the revenue in the first year only. That’s why they force every studio they own to build a live service game but the ironic thing is they lost more money doing that than they have generated from those projects.

Also it’s the same reason why Remedy Entertainment released a multiplayer game out of the blue. Since the development of Alan Wake 2 could have bankrupted them if the game failed. And also ironically this game probably cost them more then it will ever generate in income.

and then you have people like me who use 50inch TVs as computer monitors that sit on their desk.

and a lot of movies aren’t even sharper in 4k. Since for a long time movies used a 2k intermediary format for post production, even if the movie was shot with a 4k camera.

Remember when you were ten and went to a friend’s place who had a Commodore 64 and they just got a new game on a floppy from his uncle’s friend. And the game was just an animation of a pixelated naked cartoon lady who took a piss on to the ground. And you’d laugh your ass off for the rest of the day. Remember? No?

Poopdeck Rum is the best.

So what is Rum made from corn called?

If they didn’t have Fortnite they probably wouldn’t even have the money to dump into Unreal Engine to make it where it is today. They probably would ask Tencent for more money and Tencent would have bought the rest of the company. The game engine business is just not as profitable as Fortnite, just look at Unity.

Pretty sure MS will just seize the OpenAi data centers and repurpose them for Azure and rent out compute time or use it for XBox streaming. Non of the hardware will reach the open market.
