    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    No, they need the embeds to attract people to actually sign up. Granted Twitter is currently run by morons, so maybe they don't realize that embeds are the best advertising the platform actually has.

    So I am making a video game.....

    The older Megaman games, thankfully, are rather simple mechanically. I was able to get a crude MM prototype working rather quickly using the Flixel engine ages ago.

    So I am making a video game.....

    Even Shovel Knight, which aped the NES style REALLY WELL, cheated a bit here and there and in more ways than simply allowing more than 8 sprites per scanline. The developers even admitted such. This article contains details on the the ways they broke NES conventions and the reasoning behind...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Well, he's not wrong except that now that the option has been publicly discussed you just KNOW the Republicans will use it even if the Democrats show restraint by NOT using said option. The minute Republicans gain control of congress and the presidency while the court leans left, seats will be...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Fear is the quickest way to gain power. That's why the go that route. It's not a SUSTAINABLE way to gain power, but it is the quickest.

    I thought non-competes were deemed unenforceable in California. Granted her former job was with NBC Universal, which is headquartered in New York, which does have enforceable non-competes.

    Anti-Semitism

    Of all the people who deny the Holocaust, the small JEWISH segment of said group baffle me the most. Granted, it's Roseanne and she's getting more and more unhinged as time goes on.

    So I am making a video game.....

    A lot of the early Sierra adventure games had the same flaw. Lot of just trying a bunch of random stuff until you lucked out on what you actually needed to progress. Didn't help that the localization of the original Zelda game was abysmal so that the few in-game hints that were provided ended...

    So I am making a video game.....

    Yup. Devs were figuring out what worked and what didn't during that era. I LOVE the experamentation of the era, but a LOT of the games did NOT age well in the slightest. Even the early installments of the franchises still with us today can be a chore to play these days. It's kinda like the...

    So I am making a video game.....

    NES games were largely made before most designers had any real idea of what good gameplay WAS, so that's rather understandable.

    Florida, Florida, Florida

    Firing blindly out of his window should at the very least warrant reckless endangerment. Bullets don't respect property lines after they are fired, after all.

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Nice to see the court having a broken clock moment.

    LGBQT+ News & Articles

    They realized they've mostly lost the battle against the LGB part of the population so the are targeting the smaller T part in an attempt to regain some ground. Gonna be rough untill they lose that battle too.

    A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    Disney's biggest issues are that they are over-relying on Marvel(seriously over 30 MCU movies since 2007, audiences are getting tired of trying to keep up with the MCU) and they seem to have forgotten how to run a proper marketing campain for their non-Marvel projects. Their biggest two...

    Escalating anti-LGBT+ hate and the terrorism it inspires

    Maybe they just subscribes to the holographic universe hypothesis. In that case they could, technically, be correct.

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Belarus brokered the deal. Something smells fishy. Ukraine should probably keep up their guard.

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    If not a ruse, the chaos could help the Ukrainian cause, but yea, I wouldn't cozy up to the Wagner group. Prigozhin is either lying or trying to set himself up to replace Putin, maybe both.

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    The engine alone doesn't mean something can be reasonably ported. Unreal 5 is available for use on the Switch for instance. In this case they might be able to get away with downscaled textures. Knight was developed for systems with 8 gigs of ram, the Switch only has 4, so compromises have to...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    It's got momentum. Gonna take awhile to slow down and fall over. Heck MySpace is still around, completely irrelevant, but still around.

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    Yup, Mario Wonder(glad they finally ditched the New SMB aesthetic to some extent) and the Mario RPG remake are definites for me. Looking at Star Ocean and the new Wario Ware game too. Really wasn't expecting Nintendo to go with an ELEPHANT themed power up but glad they did, just for the...
