  • Yeah, I feel like the remakes lost some charm specifically when it comes to rendering tech (vertex colors, losing Spyro’s skyboxes feels like a crime). Particularly with the new data bloat.

    Also with the examples I'm not sure I like the new sounds

    (faster/higher-pitch… and they sound re-done? If they’re the same are they just better at very low sample rate?), looked it up and people were saying they didn’t like the mixing (new is more muted/subtle).

    That, and it seems re-makes don’t really fix core issues (Medievil’s remake).

    I think the original tech/limits can be taken further aesthetically for a different workflow (very general/sparse use of textures), especially in the modern era. Still undecided on some artistic/technical choices, but I have much more here than I do in the ways of (low-scope) starting project ideas that I like.

    not-very-polished

    The entire scene is low-poly with colors defined using the mesh itself,  also the image is optimized for color to reduce data, resulting in dithering patterns. In a gray room with black and white triangle tiles, there are 6 badgers of various sizes standing and facing the viewer. Similarly, there are 5 eyes floating in the air one of which is not fully opaque. There is 1 banana on the floor.




  • Yes, because of the over-the-top “personally traveled” bit… and it’d likely end with DMCA.

    Though looking at just one list of Nintendo’s mass takedown of free fan-games, it seems very likely* it directly resulted in many children being terribly upset (and maybe thinking they’ll be sued/jailed)… even if they made their own assets, just because they included a trademarked term in the title/description for something they just wanted to share with their friends. (I’m sure many did use assets, but we are likely talking about decades-old material here)

    So it’s not that big of a stretch, it’s just not guaranteed that we’d hear this much about it.

    *= judging by FNAF/sonic crossovers, content/spelling of titles, creepypasta stuff, and likely terrible art if you can still find more than a URL






  • Aside from a last resort, for what purpose?

    I would rather go the opposite direction: brain stays (mostly) stock but supported by multiple other forms of life. Much more of a gut microbiome, harmless viruses etc add to immune system, mycelium network, microbiome automatically cleans surface.

    Swap resources with a tree, filter contaminates from air/water or produce organic compounds, photosynthesis in larger tanks (stationary) or luminescence in organic gel (body).


  • That’d still just be a copy.

    And sounds like “I like the idea of ai, but I want something even less ethical.” Unless it is highly specialized to the point of non-sapience. “Existence? Look buddy, I cook and that’s it. I can contemplate the life cycles of ingredients and I do my best to have a safe kitchen, but beyond that I don’t have the information to think about it.”



  • I have a currently-apart T3200SX (+scraps of another that I took the screen from).

    The red gas plasma screen is interesting, I couldn’t figure out how to install DOS on it and I don’t think I could cobble enough memory for other options. The timechip was bad too (not sure if that was preventing DOS or if I did something else wrong), I bought another but it was DOA too.

    The HDDs I think were bad too, and this model was locked into using some proprietary drive. (probably could be bypassed for a newer drive, not sure)

    That leaves out how public opinion changed after motive was known.

    The assassination brought the many social issues with the Unification Church under the spotlight again, as well as tumbled the approval of the ruling party. Under the public pressure, the responsible ministry decided to file a dissolution order against the UC with the Tokyo District Court on 13 October 2023, after nearly a year of investigation of wrongdoings

    Japanese people cosplaying Yamagami’s appearance during Abe’s assassination were spotted at events like the rally against Abe’s state funeral. These cosplayers held cardboard signs displaying the leaders they were against: Abe, Ali Khamenei, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping
