What’s bizarre is that they used to do a lot of these collections for PS3 but then stopped! Did you know Jak & Daxter had an HD remastered collection of all 3 games, and the ones they’re selling on PS4/PS5 are emulated ones that don’t have any of it? They went through a ton of effort remastering Sly, Jak, Ratchet and Clank’s first three games… Then did nothing with it.

TL;DR: It’s just a new skin for PS5 hardware that makes it look grey. I was hoping for a game collection but no.

It’s not even copyright, they’re suing for using things they patented, but their patents are extremely general. I kid you not, they have a patent for MOUNTING CREATURES, something hundreds of games have done.

Abstract: In an example of a game program, a ground boarding target object or an air boarding target objects is selected by a selection operation, and a player character is caused to board the selected boarding target object. If the player character aboard the air boarding target object moves toward the ground player character automatically changed to the state where the player character is aboard the ground boarding target object, and brought into the state where the player character can move on the ground.

I’m no lawyer so I can’t tell you how well this would hold up in court but it’s ridiculous. See more: https://patents.justia.com/assignee/the-pokemon-company

I bought it and am having a blast as well! There are definitely games I dislike, especially Barbuta (the first one). I get what it’s going for but eugh, too slow and clunky.

Magic Garden was the first game I beat - and it’s the only one I have a cherry disk on. Lots of fun, it’s not that hard once it clicks.

I’ve only went through the first ten games and my favorites are Magic Garden, Mortol, and Velgress. The latter two are kicking my ass, but I keep coming back.

It’s weird that they’re adding E2EE on voice but not in private text DMs, which is probably everybody’s biggest concern when it comes to security on Discord. Better than nothing I guess.

Everyone: I wish Mozilla would just focus on their browser and not their other BS

fast forward to them cutting costs on a Mastodon server that nobody uses

Everyone: WTF??? I KNEW MOZILLA WAS A FAILURE OF A COMPANY CORPORATIONS ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS WHAT CLOWNS

Threads like this make me wonder why any corporation would bother with the fediverse when this is how most people are on mastodon

Someone just posted 'em in the comments.

I can’t believe it’s finally coming out. I’ve been following this game since it was announced 7 years ago. I’m even more excited now that the reviews are really good.

Ah yeah, must be one of the rare cases where regional prices are really favorable.

Speaking of Forza Horizon, they’re really cheap on Steam currently. FH4 is only 4 dollars.

For a second I thought palworld was getting cancelled. They really need to make less suspicious titles for these posts.

Outside of benchmarks it’s really not as big of a deal as openAI wants you to think it is. In most cases it’s slightly better than Claude, except it uses 50x the tokens repeating info to itself and is way slower. There are a lot of people that tried o1 online and are posting screenshots of it making basic mistakes or gaslighting itself in its chain of thought. Not to mention you only get 30 messages PER WEEK since it’s such a waste of energy.

It’s a desperate attempt by openAI to stay relevant now that competitors and even free models are catching up.

I guess this means it won’t work on older cards. I wonder if this will work on Nvidia cards too or if it’ll be AMD-only tech.

Well yeah, the line has to be drawn somewhere, but it’s still super high budget compared to any animated series out there. They spent roughly 10 million dollars per episode! High budget anime would usually spend something like 1 million dollars per season. One punch man season 1 reportedly spent $80k per episode. The difference is massive.

Arcane by far. Gorgeous art style, great colors and composition, great fights. It’s going to be hard to beat it considering how huge the budget was.

AFAIK web scraping (the act of grabbing and downloading any data you see available on the internet) isn’t illegal, and I would assume downloading PDFs provided to you online would fall under that. Since it is copyrighted it would probably be illegal to share it, though.

Works fine on my end, could’ve been a temporary outage.

Exactly my reaction in the showcase. They had to be trolling, youtube already compresses their videos and they keep talking about how much clearer the PS5 Pro is - It looks exactly the same!

It would have been good if they didn’t lie so much about what you can do with it and fail spectacularly

as well as adding a lot of extra work for modders to keep things up to date.

This is my big takeaway too… More frequent updates means more version mismatches and more trouble to modders and server hosters to have to constantly update. Not sure what’s the goal here because I don’t think people are clamoring for tiny updates.
