What are your options?

Cemu or original hardware? I love playing the original on the Wii U but it's cool upscaling to 1440p

Picked up Paper Mario TTYD on Switch to see what all the hype is about, and yeah honestly all the OG fans were right about it. It's the best one I've played in the series by a longshot.

Without context, I would assume Sticker Star and Color Splash released before TTYD - as if they were still figuring out where to go with the series, and would eventually evolve into something better as technology advanced. Then TTYD comes along, and not only has more mechanical depth, but also so much more life and creativity in it.

Genre mismatch might be a factor? Don't Starve is not an action-roguelite like Binding of Isaac; it's a survival-crafting game. They are aiming to be vastly different experiences.

I've had Kenshi on my wishlist for a long time, and I haven't pulled the trigger. What's your favorite part about it? Most of what I know is that it's punishing and has deep roleplaying opportunities, but I don't know a lot of the specifics.

Most of the story criticism I've heard fall into a handful of categories:

• Overall plot seeming convoluted and hard to follow (which is understandable when you throw both time travel and parallel universes into the same story)

• Whitewashed portrayal of racism used for story aesthetics

• Ending feeling confusing and/or unsatisfying

• Certain story moments feeling out of place and/or undermining things that other story moments set up

I haven't seen much in the way of players expecting/predicting plot twists.

I thought Tommy was the White Power Ranger?

The amount of time to build something like this seems like it would offset the amount of effort it would take just to write good character dialogue. AI tools are basically word calculators, which means you have to provide data for the LLM, which means time to produce this data, time to build guardrails, etc. Even in this implementation, they say they had to build guardrails so that they don't say anything "harmful."

There are also a number of lawsuits going on that will set a precedent for how training data can be utilized in commercial products. While I expect them to take the side of large corporations with vast resources at the expense of ethics, there's the possibility that they will do the right thing. This will affect how AI tools wil be used in such contexts.

"Monado" has no specific meaning and is just a name.

As a Xenoblade fan, I call BS.

But I do expect we'll see more open source VR solutions and support as adoption increases. They're still in that phase of expensive luxury goods in most cases - PSVR costs more than a PS5 and also requires one to work, Index is $1000, and I don't even know where the Apple headset got its pricing.

Most of these also want to lock down their VR as a platform, instead of being ubiquitous hardware like a monitor, and I think lack of standardization is gonna hurt them in the long run by narrowing their audience.

He got it off a hair dryer!

Trust him, he's an expert on not paying bills.

I don't know if you're into gaming, but Steam Next Fest has a demo for a claymation adventure game called Harold Halibut that's pretty awesome

Also Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart was great and I don't hear many other people talk about it
