columbo deserves a reboot

Nah, we don’t need everything we’re nostalgic for to be rehashed for the newer generation.

And because resources are finite, all else isn’t held equal. You’re giving up time spent working on gameplay or whatever to stick fancier graphic assets in.

That’s not how game design works. The people who work on the gameplay and level design and dialog are not the same people who work on the graphics. Sure, making the game prettier takes more time, but it has no effect on how long the rest of the game takes to be built. And lower-quality assets can be used in the interim for things like scripting animations, with higher quality assets swapped in later.

There are also arcade and Wii versions of Punch Out.

All the Linux updates, not the game updates. I don’t know if they’re all flatpak, but I have tons of them waiting to update

Hades II just sneakily dropped into Early Access on Steam.

What was sneaky about it? They had a technical test recently, and announced Early Access would be coming soon as they were shutting down the test period.

Crouching MK a is less committing poke. It’s faster and has more range, and has less recovery time. You can basically always chain it into a fireball, and if the kick hits, so does the fireball. If the kick is blocked, the fireball has to be blocked as well.

Use the fireballs alone at medium range. If they jump over, a quick dragon punch knocks them down. If they block, you get some chip damage in.

If you really want to get good, look up frame info for your character. It will let you know which attacks can be chained into each other, and which ones are easier or harder to punish.

I watched a guy riding a bike get doored by a car, flip over the door and land on his feet uninjured.

No, no, Microsoft cares about my privacy. I get a daily popup reminding me of this and also asking for me to share my private data with them.

Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?

It’s not amazing, but as far as side-scrolling platformers go, it was fairly compelling.

Also the PSP can play PS1 games, so you have access to a pretty big library of classics.

We could certainly use legislation that prevents companies from calling it a buy/sell transaction when in reality it’s a license transaction. Purchases can’t be revoked or altered after the fact.

That’s what differentiates free games from free-to-play games. A free game gets you the entire experience for free. A FTP game gets you a barebones experience unless you spend money.

Big studios typically don’t release actual free games, obviously because there’s no money to be made that way.

But how do you go from 10GB monthly to 190TB without it raising any flags? Apparently their site had been up for 4 years and suddenly the usage spikes by nearly 2 million percent, and nobody thinks to check up on why, or to notify the user that they’re using an extreme amount of data, way beyond what they usually do.

People don’t realize how bad things are until they experience them differently.

Nintendo’s lawsuit was a civil suit, but he spent time in prison for fraud.

Not that easy moving to another country when you have a criminal record.

I have experience with MTG but only a passing knowledge of Pokemon. My understanding is that it would depend entirely on what your deck does. Are you using pokemon that are expensive to use? Do you have any means of getting energy besides just drawing it? Do you have ways to draw more cards? All these things will come into play to determine the ratio you need. With experience you can guesstimate these things, but to be sure, the only way is to play the deck a bunch and adjust depending on what you feel you need to add.

I haven’t tried it on Steam Deck yet, but it runs perfectly on Linux with no extra steps using Proton. It’s not very demanding, so I expect it will run great on the Deck.
