I don’t get it. I mean I get it because it’s Ninty, but I don’t get why now?
Has there been something in a major new feature update that has finally tipped the scales into clearly taking the piss, or have the legal team at Big N finally seen their erections subside after the game’s launch and only now can move enough to do something about it?
change the fact
There’s your failing.
I’m not saying he did or did not see whatever supposed corruption you’re saying is going on.
However, you’re trotting out the usual ACAB trope when you have the same level of knowledge as anyone else - that is to say, fuck all. There’s little to support your assertion of a “fact” here at all.
I’m not arsed one way or another whether you like cops or not, but at least make your arguments make sense.
Take a break. It must be tiring being this deliberately obtuse.
I can see where you’re coming from - if you look at Ultimate Doom or Doom II and put Doom 64 next to it, then there is a raft of limitations and shortcomings that make it appear to be an inferior product. I personally prefer Doom II as well, with the banging soundtrack and the iconic levels.
However, I’d argue you’re missing out by approaching it with that mindset. Aubrey Hodges score is less of a soundtrack, and more of an ominous hum in the background - and the overall art style is far more drab and depressing. I’d probably suggest it has more in common with Doom 3 than it does with the first two. I personally prefer the sound effect collection in Doom 64 - the shotgun sounds meatier, the Barons from Hell’s alert sound is a bit more worrisome, and the doors sound a bit more industrial.
Personally I agree with the N64 controller assessment - it feels like it was built by someone who forgot how many hands humans have 😂 but the adaptations in the Unity ports make it more than enjoyable now on Xbox or Dualshock controllers.
The laugh is, the Watch Me Die mode (the Ultra Violence of the 64 editions) is probably the easiest “hard” mode on original hardware, purely because the technical limitations prevented lots of enemies (of any tier, not just hitscan wankers) being spawned - and space limitations prevented difficulty spikes caused by Boney Bois (Plutonia-style) or Arch-Bastards ruining your day by not being included in the game at all.
It’s still a very, very good Doom game. 64 and PlayStation Doom should be played together for the alternative Doom experience.
Do a credit card next!
Mater’s Tall Tales were absolute bangers. Not only were they funny in their own right, but the background details and cameos were awesome.
I think there’s that fine line between being “that friend that’s always there for me” and “that friend who won’t take a hint and fuck off”.
At the end of the day, you can only help as much as you’re invited to. Anything beyond that comes across as overbearing, and sometimes someone doesn’t need help, they just need a bit of space to decompress and the help comes later.
I guess the measure of a good friend is offering support if they need it, and being ready to offer support long afterwards if they feel they’re doing just fine.
I can’t speak to her performance in FRECA, I’ve not watched it - but her recent races in the F1 Acad have been more than decent. She’s super consistent with whatever she’s given, even if it’s got a lot less power in the back than F1.
F2 or F3 would do her a world of good in terms of being marketable to F1 teams though, I can’t argue with that - but I can’t see Antonelli’s oodles of experience either, like Bottas or others before him who have been thrown in at the deep end.
I would absolutely love to see Pin or Abbi Pulling rag an F1 car about for a session and see what times they put in.
Reminds me of the mid2000’s era of British journalist Gary Cutlack trying to post every instance of a spiral in the real world, linking it to the upcoming announcement of a Dreamcast 2.
I miss that sort of journalism.
I mean he’s… good?
Aside from maybe Hadjar, Bortoleto who’s a bit Maldonado-esque, Gabriele Mini, and obvs Lawson - I’m not seeing any “chosen one” talents coming through. There’s nothing wrong with Antonelli as a choice at all, just all seems a bit meh.
If they were going to roll the dice, I’d have put Doriane Pin in that seat. She is rapid AF.
Brilliant, thank you - that’s really interesting and appreciated.
I still remember typing JPELC at the Mission: Shark title screen to toggle cheats.
Awesome.
I’ve no idea why, but the Polish could make the 800-series sing. An entire generation of bedroom coders getting their games onto top tier labels like Zeppelin, Mastertronic etc.
Janusz Pelc springs to mind, he (she?) seemed incapable of writing a bad game, super talented.
It fills me with hope that this RM800 will do well.
A bit of a radical view, but Albon has been one of the drivers of the season for me.
He’s put that car in places that a Williams has no business being, has made faster drivers in even faster machinery look daft on a Saturday, and has done it with the shadow of his time at RBR hanging over him.
Absolutely banging season and a half so far.
Every sword game - maimed horrifically.
I seem to recall Bushido Blade crudely implemented this in the late 90’s, introducing rudimentary disablements on a Fallout-style limb system that would slow you down if you took a slash to the leg, or render your hand ineffective if you were struck there.
The slow march into middle age is making my memories fuzzy.
I find it quite handy - it’s a bit excessive on nearly every post, but it does add context when I don’t recognise the news source, and it’s useful to see whether I really need to do some more digging on the article rather than should look for other views on a story.
It’s frustrating to see a comment or two on a post preview pane you’re interested in though and boom, it’s a bot rather than another user to engage with.
It would work really well as a plug in or tool, giving you inline information in the post itself.
Oh I like a pessimistic view - partly because it makes a discussion spicier, but also because it’s important for a user to understand the power that an instance owner wields!
Oh man, this is awesome - it’s wonderful hearing from the practitioners of the art!
I’m just trying to figure out what driver establishing the tipping point for breaking or the ban hammer - is there any empirical data to drive these decisions, or is the fediverse user base small enough that you act on “feel” or “professional instinct”?
Managing emerging technologies fascinates me so any input - including the germs you’ve already volunteered - is very much appreciated 👍
That’s a strong viewpoint and I appreciate where you’re coming from, but how many votedicks does it take to derail a post? I appreciate the fediverse is reasonably small in comparison to othe headline social media sites, but does banning one or two bots or people do enough to save posts from getting bombed?
Peak science right here. Someone’s getting their doctorate off the back of this study.
