I'm 100% not okay with stealing and ransoming people's personal information, but this makes me want to be 99% not okay with it.

What are your options?

Cemu or original hardware? I love playing the original on the Wii U but it's cool upscaling to 1440p

Picked up Paper Mario TTYD on Switch to see what all the hype is about, and yeah honestly all the OG fans were right about it. It's the best one I've played in the series by a longshot.

Without context, I would assume Sticker Star and Color Splash released before TTYD - as if they were still figuring out where to go with the series, and would eventually evolve into something better as technology advanced. Then TTYD comes along, and not only has more mechanical depth, but also so much more life and creativity in it.

Genre mismatch might be a factor? Don't Starve is not an action-roguelite like Binding of Isaac; it's a survival-crafting game. They are aiming to be vastly different experiences.

I've had Kenshi on my wishlist for a long time, and I haven't pulled the trigger. What's your favorite part about it? Most of what I know is that it's punishing and has deep roleplaying opportunities, but I don't know a lot of the specifics.

Most of the story criticism I've heard fall into a handful of categories:

  • Overall plot seeming convoluted and hard to follow (which is understandable when you throw both time travel and parallel universes into the same story)

  • Whitewashed portrayal of racism used for story aesthetics

  • Ending feeling confusing and/or unsatisfying

  • Certain story moments feeling out of place and/or undermining things that other story moments set up

I haven't seen much in the way of players expecting/predicting plot twists.

The amount of time to build something like this seems like it would offset the amount of effort it would take just to write good character dialogue. AI tools are basically word calculators, which means you have to provide data for the LLM, which means time to produce this data, time to build guardrails, etc. Even in this implementation, they say they had to build guardrails so that they don't say anything "harmful."

There are also a number of lawsuits going on that will set a precedent for how training data can be utilized in commercial products. While I expect them to take the side of large corporations with vast resources at the expense of ethics, there's the possibility that they will do the right thing. This will affect how AI tools wil be used in such contexts.

So is this stock Yuzu without any changes? IIRC the legal issue was something about circumventing copy protection, so would this project be subject to the same issues?

Also, how do I verify that this fork isn't malware wrapped in emulator code?

I'd hope some of it gets socked away for any possible time in the future when costs may be greater.

As for the rest of it, I'd like to see it used to grow the platform - marketing to increase user base, more developers, etc. Whatever makes sense.

I'm against doxxing in all of its forms. Privacy's a right and we should protect it, even when it makes it harder to punish the bad guys. So I'm not really mad about the outcome here

I don't know that I'd agree with characterizing this as doxxing; I'd say it's more in line with reporting. Especially considering many of the terrorists involved in this attack are still at large.

A good start to fixing the poverty is if companies making obscene amounts of money from their labor start fairly paying people in these areas.

 

We got our hands on an hour of Pikmin 4 ahead of its imminent July 21. Here's what we thought of Nintendo's latest strategy game inspired by Shigeru Miyamoto...

 

I already went into my settings and changed the dropdown to Subscriptions and saved the changes, but when I click the kbin home button it still shows me the /all feed.

Am I misunderstanding something here? Does the button shaped like a house not actually mean home?

 

A summery Splatoon 3 #Splatfest is on the way from 7/14 to 7/16, and it’s serving up three scoops of fun! This time the question is:

Which flavor of ice cream is best?
Vanilla, Strawberry, or Mint Chip?
