@DrRyanSkelton @coolboymew No, but the lack of facial animations made them look awkward. If someone was dedicated enough to add facial animations, I bet they have to create new models to compensate for that.
@coolboymew I just hope if they added updated models, they use something other than the XBLA models and actually include facial animations, but I bet that would be a LOT of work to do.
@coolboymew It looks like there are still rendering glitches, but it's playable. It seems to have mouse support, but it's janky according to the GitHub README.
I can't believe I wasn't aware of this. Perfect Dark already has a PC Port and it supports 60 FPS.

@LukeAlmighty @moffintosh At least Mr. /leftypol/ is acknowledging all the small businesses that benefited from the pole.
@coolboymew Does that guy still work for NoE?
@coolboymew Does this mean Mario will be voiced by Chris Pratt in the games now?

@berkberkman Supposedly, it's better at cooking the things I mentioned.
@berkberkman No. Air-fryer means on-demand hot-wings, mozzarella sticks, and onion rings. All of them near-restaurant quality.
I normally don't eat fried vegetables. I mostly eat them raw.
I'm trying to eat healthier, but now it's harder because my brother bought us an air-fryer, and now we basically have our own personal fast-food restaurant in our kitchen.

@hachi @ArdainianRight @xianc78 How about women buying their own female sanitary products instead of expecting other people to pay for them ?
@Indigo I agree with Milton Friedman in that the LVT is probably the least bad tax, but of course, all taxation is theft. Inheritance is probably the worse because the government is literally cashing in on your relative's death.
@icedquinn In a true free market, console exclusives would probably not exist because there would be no intellectual property. People can make games based off of any IP for any platform and port them to whatever they want. There would also be so many console clones created by different manufacturers that consoles would just be like movie and audio formats.
@Indigo There all bad, but some are worse than others.

Yeah, I've already written an article on my website about this very subject.

@gabriel @xianc78 They launched this "passport" thing because quadratic voting can be easily gamed by creating multiple accounts (the more votes you get, the more money your project receives on Gitcoin platform). This is not a KYC procedure, and I think you can verify the uniqueness of your account anonymously.
So in this particular case they are doing it out of necessity, not because they want to build a dystopian digital ID system.
Though in general I agree that a skepticism towards such systems is justified. Most of them are designed for control (e.g. Worldcoin).
And I think you're right about de-platforming, Gitcoin would drop Tor Project the moment it becomes politically inconvenient, just like any other major crowdfunding platform.

I agree with your overall points: It's important not to throw out the baby with the bathwater on funding important projects merely because blockchain based projects or platforms are involved. @silverpill@mitra.social does a good job pointing this out as well.
That said, I think there are good reasons to avoid almost a vast majority of blockchain projects. Even though the people who take an extreme anti-cryptocurrency stance are misguided, there's a lot more merit to the approach than it would seem.
You've likely heard "the medium is the message" and I think it does apply to blockchain projects. There's something ironic about funding an online passport in parallel to funding the Tor project. Over time, I've grown much more suspicious of efforts to validate online activity and interactions. I think many (not specifically gitcoin) blockchain projects are merely age-old top-down control structures with a glossy coat of paint.
Someone could go to Reddit and mistake it for an organically run community because of things like upvotes and downvotes. They would be mistaken due to the level of control the reddit admins have over the platform. I don't really believe that any proof-of-stake system will inherently improve things (corporations themselvesare arguably proof-of-stake).
Doubling down, if projects like @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social are going to start getting de-platformed en masse, very few blockchain based platforms are not so embedded in establishment structures that they'd be forced to comply as well. To me, If they're not actually providing censorship resistance, it's a farce even if the project isn't necessarily an outright scam.
