I was just looking in the web to learn more about Devon Pritchard (the woman who becomes America’s next president as Nintendo of America) and found following line in another blog post article: economictimes.indiatimes.com/…/124139537.cms
She holds a Doctor of Law (JD) degree from Gonzaga University School of Law (1998–2001)
“All submitted videos are verified through TikTok’s system to check copyright violations before they are approved as advertising content. However, we have become aware of cases where the circumstances surrounding the production of certain submitted videos appear inappropriate. Thus, we are conducting a thorough joint investigation with TikTok to determine the facts.”
Nobody thought to… I don’t know, watch the ads before they went live?
I don’t think anyone does unless the ads are on a smaller site or service. Anything larger like YouTube, tiktok etc just do some automated checks and send it. That’s why so many scams/propaganda get advertised. Nobody checks
I'm choosing to interpret this as a sign that they are aware of the controversy and are open to considering alternatives. If they're asking for feedback, that means there's a chance they'll act on it.
The part I find strange about all this is that apparently Switch 2 titles just can't use smaller ROM sizes, and that's why certain third parties don't want to pay increased manufacturing costs to put smaller titles on larger cartridges. But... why are they apparently not able to use smaller carts?
We're seeing cross-gen releases where the Switch 1 version is on the cart and the Switch 2 version is not. They've even got dual-mode carts for games that contain the Switch 1 base game and Switch 2 upgrade DLC. These smaller carts exist and the Switch 2 can read them. So I'm puzzled as to why they can't use these same carts for Switch 2 games.
They fixed the performance issues, but at the end of the day, the game is still boring as fuck. IDK how they did it, cause the CyberPunk aesthetic is right up my alley.
The kinect was near useless but I had fun with it. At one point I set it up to control Kodi with hand gestures. It was clunky but kinda cool. Good times.
Mine still exists for almost exactly the same reason. Its excellent tech and it can be used for great things. One day I’ll learn how to do stuff like that and then I’ll be as a god. I mean not today obviously I got stuff to do I’m a busy man, but one day. Probably. Its nice to dream.
I really liked the potential of Kinect as the first one had some good stuff for it.
I liked the fitness and dancing apps, I thought the Forza Motorsport integration was very subtle but good for immersion and the voice control of Mass Effect 3 was also immersive.
They were all promising improvements that could have gone somewhere with the second version. But then they fucked it up and it went nowhere.
Knowing how actually amazing the sensor suite in the Kinect is: It is far from useless. It’s just far better utilized in avenues other than video gaming. lol
Though I hella would like one for VR, as it makes for an excellent FBT unit.
Miyazaki wept. Edit: lol people love to complain about gatekeepers and then they gatekeep comment sections about difficulty. Its ok guys, youre safe. The video games cant hurt you.
Downvotes arent gatekeeping. It’s just people not agreeing with you or disliking your tone. Also bitching about downvotes tends to attract more downvotes for your efforts.
If downvotes aren’t gatekeeping, then neither is saying Dark Souls is perfect the way it is and doesn’t need to be changed. Ultimately, I think we’re all picking a side on this one, and dont want to hear what the other has to say. Voting me down is your way of saying “I don’t want to see this kind of thing.” It can’t be hand-waved away as simple disagreement. There is an echo chamber at work here, it is somewhat nasty and honestly disheartening. Like when I make a joke about Miyazaki not wanting this (it is a joke after all) and everyone piles on the dislike; that’s the community trying to send me a message. And yes, I know that calling out downvoters makes them pile on more; I am proud to spit in ya’lls face. The discourse around difficulty is toxic on both sides and I hate it. Can’t even make a joke without bringing out the Defenders of the Casual or whatever. Vote me down some more, its exactly what I expect.
Sometimes difficulty is inextricable from the art, and Dark Souls is a good example of that. When people say they want it easier they are missing the message. You SHOULD have to struggle to get what you want, you SHOULD have to pay attention to the game you’re playing instead of mindlessly hacking your way through only to forget bout it days later. If a game punishes impatience and hubris, you will be more immersed in an oppressive world, you will feel like a small part of a larger tragedy that transcends your typical hero fantasy. These are the things that make the game special, and Miyazaki and his team knew what they were doing. You are spitting on their vision and their talent when you say it should be different. Lies of P… I haven’t played it, and the devs can do whatever they feel is right to make the game they want to make.
But you know, Starry Night is fine and all but its too dark and depressing. They should put some more yellow in there, really make it more accessible to the masses.
See, assuming someone calling out your bitching has downvoted you is part of your problem. I didn’t downvote you before, now I have downvoted you because you sound whiny.
Maybe it’s that the card has both arms in addition to a wing instead of it replacing an arm like the original? I personally don’t think that warrants an article, but hey websites gonna click bait.
Both arms was my first take too considering he’s specifically named the one winged angel because of the one black wing replacing his arm, but he does have a whole extra head visible behind the text, in the same way Bizarro Sephiroth had a big Sephiroth and then a tiny Sephiroth on top - the topless, black wing form sits on a cloud that sits on top of another bigger Sephiroth with white wings instead of just having 6 wings replacing his legs. And there’s still more werid shit going on behind that text that I can’t make out. With how they brought Bizarro Sephiroth in Rebirth, they could be doing the “multiple teams attacking different sections” take again.
Good point. I didn’t see behind the text without opening a bigger image. The article mentioned it was drawn so the front and back image stacked for the full picture. When you look at it from that perspective it could also be regular sephiroth holding something up between the two of them.
Regardless though I gotta take it with a grain of salt. Someone on the design team back before the first remake launched said to pay close attention to the game’s key art and we’d find something interesting. If I recall it was only a black feather or some other mundane feature that didn’t reveal anything spectacular even after playing the game. It was just marketing to get people talking.
I can’t help but think this is similar. Fun stuff to think about while waiting for the game but probably won’t amount to much even when we’ve seen the final product. I’d love to be wrong though and this is actually hiding a new twist. Time will tell.
I wonder how much of this game they can force them to change. I know Steam has a 2 hour limit for returns but at what point does this game become “not the game I bought”?
I mean, the game is in early access so if you bought it and are now complaining it changed… It’s a you problem, not something that should be refundable.
Nah, not complaining, idly wondering. I made my bed, I’ll sleep in it, I’m just wondering how far a game can go to change a game and still claim it’s the same game.
Yuuup, Palworld was a rare early access buy for me. Burned too many times but a sale burnt a hole in my pocket after holding off for years and I got curious, I knew what I was getting into haha
Pretty much anything so long as Palworld doesn’t have 1.- a backbone and 2.- a dictionary at hand. Because it is as simple as finding a picture of any of a long list of animals that can glide, state the words “previous art” and they should be free from this ridiculous demand.
Mechanics that already exist in nature should not be copyrightable. Can you imagine if the first videogame company ever patented “character walking”?
I feel like you shouldn’t release a date if the game isn’t in ready for release. After releasing the date, all that should come is polish and minor bug fixing
