  • putting my initial skepticism (and to be honest anger) aside, the best i can say about it is it isn’t half assed or made for a cheap cash grab. if you haven’t played the original and can’t play it now it’s certainly worth your time (because the thing it’s based on is a masterpiece) but i would say “reified” is a good description of it.

    i can’t still figure out who is this game for. since the port appears to keep the original dialogues and scenes intact, i don’t see how it could be suitable to a casual audience or people that prefer short form content. you can’t just talk to joyce about the pale in 5 minute chunks waiting in line while in between you’re also yelling at people on twitter that no over the counter cold medicine doesn’t make people grow an extra testicle.



  • the way trump is doing it is basically extorting other people by saying im willing to shoot myself just to kill your business. now submit to me or i will make sure both of us will suffer and you don’t wanna suffer do you? it’s caveman shit designed to make him look like a tough mucho man.

    in the short term it might work but in the long term either people hope to weather it out to a democrat administration to repeal all this nonsense (which won’t happen because democrats are wankers but some people still believe that) or they will look to do their business in other markets. business confidence was one of those things that the “american democracy” was supposed to be good at protecting, but that’s down the toilet i suppose.










  • fundamentally the AI bubble is different from total scam bubbles like NFTs because it has actual value (AI field is much much bigger than LLMs although it is what’s currently marketed as AI). there’s already a ton of investment and a lot more are gonna go in it so i don’t think we’re nowhere near the pop. just like trains there’s gonna be an overabundance of infrastructure built and we won’t probably see any correction until these new data centers and power plants are built and most of them don’t turn in any profit.







  • i can’t play the physical version so price doesn’t really matter to me but like YGO is the second most popular tcg in japan after pokemon there’s gotta be something in there, but the design is just god awful. is capturing an audience early this important? none of the power creep up until this point has been a deal breaker for the community? it’s baffling.
