Imagine how many you could cram into a NES LoZ cartridge…

Well, about 12,000 original Link’s Awakenings would fit in the space used by Link’s Awakening Switch remake.

Where’s the horse?

I am currently ingesting a cocktail of complex chemicals that are manipulating my sensory receptors, sending electrical impulses through my neural system and altering the balance of neurotransmitters in my brain.

Anyway, I’m kinda enjoying that sandwich.

And Sonic the Hedgehog for being anti-authoritarian and having little PSAs about tolerance and being a good person.

That would be very funny to complain about those because those PSAs were enforced on the studios by the FCC. Lots of cartoons from that era had them, including fucking G.I. Joe (that’s where “Now you know, and knowing is half the battle” comes from).

Later Animaniacs parodied the shit out of these with absurd “wheel of morality” segments.

The first trailer of Breath of the Wild had a lot of people literally wondering whether that Link was a girl. I didn’t see a lot of complaining about it, I wasn’t looking for some though.

Also, Gerudo town. I’m not sure what kind of mental gymnastics you’d need to shit on “wokeness” and somehow filter out BotW completely from it.

Many diverse characters all fighting back against their unfair economic situation.

“… and that’s terrible.”

I also remember Portal 2 being on that list for “Most male characters are being depicted as incompetent compared to female characters” or something.

Dude. There are 4 characters in the whole game, counting one that’s dead but probably has the most characterization. Two are male. One guy is definitely a moron by design, but the other was definitely not incompetent. Mad, evil, sure. But he certainly achieved stuff.

I won’t. Nobody is able to define what “wokeness” really means to them because it’s mostly code for “subset of people I don’t want to exist around me”.

Surprisingly, that doesn’t sound very good when said out loud.

You’ve missed the part where that was actually something he said. Who cares about what the idiot’s exact kink, he had to save his honour telling people it wasn’t “really” porn.

Mais genre, comment ils choisissent? “On s’en fout on fait pas le tri, on n’a qu’à tous les envoyer au Pachénoustan”

No, no, you don’t understand, the girl was doing a magic trick! He only consumed that just barely legal content with professional interest in mind.

That’s a tornado.

En vrai on s’en fout, gagner une élection par les militants républicains, ça représente que dalle.

Le vrai scandale c’est que le mec est au gouvernement alors qu’il représente un parti qui a fait 8% aux dernières vraies élections nationales.

This certainly sounds the right way to do this.

But I really wonder about the stuff at bungie being “just” incompetence, because their defence is “weren’t aware of this, just used assets left by a former Bungie employee that’s not here anymore”… And yet the art director had been following the plagiarized artist on twitter this whole time.

And they have an history of “just taking” when they think they can get away with it, as they’ve done with fanart. So, shitty studio culture sounds a definite possibility at that point.

Placeholder doesn’t need to be anything more than basic featureless textures on cubes, and you should own them completely. If you made your placeholder to look like it fits, you’re asking for it to be forgotten and left in place. Which might not be too bad if it’s finally not too out of place and it’s yours.

Especially in a professional studio, they should know better than using stuff they just “found” as placeholder. To me it’s either terrible incompetence… or worse, they thought nobody would care anyway.

Ouais, aux 2/3 avec 2 jours restants ça paraît compliqué.

Oh. That guy. Thanks for the reminder.

Important context for whatever he has to say, between the rants about teh woke gaem jernalizm and cancel culture, and being called out as an edgy harassing asshole by his own employees.

I guess there are some cultures, especially work cultures and those enforcing them, that I don’t mind being “cancelled”, if only it worked.

Dans un monde ou les questions de morale sont censées être complexes, y a des gens qui se sentent contractuellement obligés de se ranger du côté du mal.

Yeah, I guess for those wanting an exploit that was patched out it could be useful. That’s not the use case I expect from the term “bad update” though.

I don’t sell my games, so I see zero point in game key carts anyway. All I want is those to be identified so I know that if I want these particular games I don’t buy the useless cart version.

Incidentally I absolutely never had to return to the base unpatched version of a game on Switch, and I have quite a few of them.
