@Deplorable_Degenerate @coded_artist there just wasn't attention drawn to it and that was so much better for their cause. They took it too far and now they can't stop.
@grips have you seen the one where the "AI" starts freaking the fuck out after a guy says "I want you to sit on my face" in Japanese
@Vo blue burst is on PC, yeah. you would have been playing it online. it had global releases i'm pretty sure so it shouldn't have been an issue. pso2 was locked to JP (mostly) for a very long time but PSO was largely available everywhere, as were a lot of other online phantasy star games.
@LukeAlmighty they do have pretty steep sales relatively often. i've seen re7's full edition on sale for like $5 several times now.
to me, they've had tons of issues obviously, but the games themselves are still pretty damn good. ubisoft has some real stinkers in the gameplay department. i feel like too, as far as microtransactions go, even though capcom has some crazy ones you can play the game easily without them. ubisoft's game design feels more hostile in trying to push you towards buying the microtransactions.
it's like how nintendo is able to have high prices and they absolutely hate people making fan games and use lawfare like it is going out of style, but their games are so fucking good it's hard to care about that enough to not play them.
i sometimes see people saying things along the lines of "X story and Y story tackle the same 'woke' issue but you still like X story even though you hate Y story so you're just a hypocrite!"
what these people fail to understand about "the message" and "woke" shit is that it isn't abrasive because of the actual topic, it's abrasive because of the way the topic is delivered.
it's the difference between things being tryhard and being genuine. between trying to appeal to a certain demographic (or repel one) and being tactful.
the interesting thing is that, by and large, this is an issue with those who create things on both sides of the political spectrum. however, the people who actually consume it on the left far outnumber those on the right, seemingly. it shows to me that the left doesn't exactly care how a story is told or a character is portrayed, only that it is something that they agree with, and the opposite is true for the right. speaking in broad strokes, of course.
it's the same sort of thing you see with the right and left between realism and idealism, respectively. the idealists cannot see reality, in the same way that they cannot see how a person could possibly like one video game and hate another one even though they have the same themes because one is simply done better.
@Vo the game has an offline mode so it could have been that too
back in 2018, three of my friends and i played PSO splitscreen for like 3 weeks straight. they came over to my apartment and basically lived there. whenever one of us would go to work the rest of us would just sit there and grind until they got back home so we'd could progress. they would sleep at my place and we would send one person out to get food on rotation. it was some of the most degenerate gaming i've ever experienced in my life but it was so, so fun. i really wish i could do something like that again. just get a bunch of friends together and no life PSO again.
anyway, someone ported PSO to browser and it is really fuckin cool. i heard that title screen music and it just brought back the memories. hard to believe that was already 8 years ago, and PSO in some form or another has stuck with me since then.

@Terry @SweetieSquadLiquidator @jeffcliff it's crazy to see all the right voters wanting him out of there while all the left voters saw absolutely noting wrong with Biden
@Kyonko802 that's how I feel man if I lose that account that's it
@mischievoustomato @ins0mniak @ZRDR_DelRio @prettygood friend of a friend has been using Claude to make a gmod server and it's pretty fun. He has learned a lot from doing it, enough to the point where when he lost the project on accident he was able to reconstruct most of it without AI.
@ins0mniak @prettygood the way I see it is that code is meant to be shared, modified, and shared again. Art isn't really the same thing. Code is not really a creative endeavor... It's what enables you to be creative. I see no issue with AI generated code as long as it gets the job done.
