Variant

Been meaning to try Hyde with Arch. It looks so nifty.

Content is pretty subjective anyway though.

Working Designs Lunar? 🚮, the un-working designs versions were eye-opening.

The Dragon Quest DS SQEX localizations? Fantastic, made me fall in love with the series. From what I've been told, they've taken liberties (e.g., accents, naming)

On "anti-preservation", it kinda also speaks to the public perception impact of a first/most easily accessible translation of a release... if it's poorly done or riddled with subjective shenanigans, I'd consider that transformative (derogatory).

Good question tbh.

Whenever we did a release of the Medarot stuff, preserving the original Japanese terms for things, we also pushed out a Medabots version with terms from the prior localization work... is a loc like that transformative? Was the original preservation...?

Imagineer finally scored a decisive legal win against that insane Spanish dude who was squatting on the EU Medabots trademark www.imagineer.co.jp/news/article... 🇯🇵 dude registered in 2018, unsuccessfully sued them(!) for infringement in '21, lost a '23 appeal & lost their final appeal on October 29

Yeah, it seems OK for releases but I wonder if there's a good replacement for the forums as a hub for technical discussion.

Discord kinda sucks.

So like, what alternative communities are out there for RHDN?

Think I'm close to the end of ZA. I definitely enjoy it more than PLA. The city is small but dense, and there's a lotta little things and honestly the rooftop jumping grew on me.

The day/night transition sucks though. It annoys me way more than I thought it would.

Does anyone know if there's a way to access Google Street View panoramas made before 2012, or an archive of sorts? Looking into specific location and can find screenshots of GSV panos of said place existing at the time (~2009), but official apps only go as back as 2012 these days, so really curious

I wonder if foobar still works...

I generally like Apple stuff but trying to sync music on my PC with an Apple Music subscription is like pulling teeth.

The Windows version of iTunes doesn't support security keys, and iCloud with Apple Music doesn't properly sync up local files. What a dogshit experience.

Wonder if Koei would give me Metamode.

Damn I wish I could go start a lil venture to disassemble and translate obscure titles and push them onto modern platforms.

Unfortunately if I left my job I'd probs just die.

Since he mentioned games being playable only on virtual console as sad, I saw it as a concern about the mediums constantly evolving/changing compared to film/video.

Just feels like a stance of "how to most effectively propel IP forward" and film being a more logical medium. IMO, both are great.

We, as a society, should've gotten everyone hooked on biometric secured hardware keys years ago.

Fuck, what do you mean I need to fight the fat bug again except this time with lava and adds that spit lava.

You could argue that a this isn't particularly valuable in GB games where you often only see two lines of text at a time and I would argue that you're just a hater who doesn't believe in aesthetics.

Medarot 1 and 3 actually did dynamic line breaks to handle variable text, and it somewhat defeats the purpose to assume the longest length string, so hmm, I may have to consider how to implement this...

I've fallen into the rabbit hole of typesetting and I might go re-format all the text in patches I've worked on before to incorporate Knuth-Plass.

I swear I've died like 5 times to every wave of every gauntlet in act 2.

For the amount of time I put into Hollow Knight and Silksong you'd think I'd be good but nope I just spend hours dying to the same fight in new and exciting ways.

Silksong is fun and this diagonal jump is going to take some getting used to, but the most jarring change is having a MC who talks.

Woah, when did RHDN open submissions up again?

It took me like 70 hours over 4-5 years to get through the true ending and I think it was pretty worth it. The aesthetic is just so enticing. I didn't feel the need to do the super difficult gauntlet stuff.

It's got a lotta love poured in and I'm super hyped to start SS this weekend.

Also holy shit they made a Last Exile 2 like 8 years after the first and I just never realized.

The push for on-demand content is generally better than the old cable programming approach, but the lack of reruns really drives a bias towards recency... a lot of people won't be exposed to some cool-but-not-quite-masterpiece works as a result.

Anyway, I think more people should watch Last Exile.

Oh, A-H all depend on Z but Z is a shared object.

Damn static linking really would've solved this, but also wouldn't a versioning scheme and just having multiple versions of the DSO on your system work? Though I guess you'd need a defined interface for that.

Like A depends on X and B and B depends on X?

(I don't know how java works I just assume the magical runtime makes your choices for you)
