Random find today: an abandoned playstation 4 on the side of the road, no cables/controllers

It was not booting properly, but I did a factory reset and now I got a functional ps4 for free 🐁

@rasterman Or how about one that makes Link left-handed again? We southpaws are being rightwashed.

@xianc78 Thank you for articulating this. The art style of SMBW really bothers me.

@beardalaxy @KoopaTV @xianc78 To me, it looks like the same kind of thing - taking proportions intended for a completely different artstyle and lazily applying them to a new artstyle, without any concern for how much it clashes. It's "faithful" in the wrong ways, rather than attempting to find a way to make it look good with a different style, or retaining the old style, it creates an ugly half-assed mix of new and old. There are certain limitations older hardware, and certain artstyles, impose. These limitations impact game design, art design, etc; the proportions of the artstyle are an example of these sorts of limitations. The proportions work with their intended artstyle because they are part of it - a product of it. Taking those exact proportions and using them for a completely different artstyle just looks ugly and lazy. They're mindlessly copying the limitations without understanding why they were there to begin with or what purpose they served - it's just mindlessly tracing the work without understanding why it works.

BDSP were endlessly mocked for being "faithful" remakes to the point of serving 0 purpose, because they're just straight up worse than the game they're trying to remake; they're just a much, much buggier DP with an atrocious artstyle, and without any of the improvements people loved about Platinum.

@hachi @ArdainianRight Trannies have contributed more to autistic genocide than Nazi eugenicists and Autism Speaks combined.

Also that Super Mario Bros. Wonder is just as bad, if not worse. I can't tell if they are using pre-rendered sprites or using 3D models that are choppily animated (some shitty new animation trend I'm seeing lately). It just looks awful.

@djsumdog It kind of reminds me of those online virtual pet games where only payed members were allowed to clothe their characters.

@galena I would probably have more respect for it if people were discussing the implications of it (i.e whether or not it was some psy-op). Instead, it's people making memes about Logitech controllers.

@rlier23 @ArdainianRight I've also heard nothing but praise from Earthbound, but I ended up not liking that game.

@EdBoatConnoisseur @beardalaxy It wasn't claymation, they borrowed SGI workstations from Rare to make pre-rendered sprites. At least that's what I've heard.

@beardalaxy The proportions looked fine in that pre-rendered artstyle. It looks abysmal with modern 3D models.

@djsumdog I didn't even know you had to pay just to customize your Reddit avatar.

@beardalaxy They could've done it without making everyone look like a fucking midget.

I made a lot of progress on my game today but nobody cares because they rather pay attention to three people dying in some underwater capsule.
