Robotech Crystal Dreams. The game was overly ambitious for the small studio making it, but man if it had been completed, even Wing Commander would have looked primitive by comparison. Would have been a very impressive game for N64.

As a huge fan of OoT, having played it since release and even been part of reverse engineering efforts early on for file format discovery and such on the original N64 rom (HylianToolbox was a mod tool that was brand new back then), I have been pretty disappointed with the remake.

There are certainly elements I like, such as improved graphics quality on par with other realistic looking AAA games from about 10 years ago, but I am finding all of Nintendo's changes pointless and frustrating.

An example is in the Deku Tree. The 23 is number 1 Deku Scrubs. In the original, they were spaced out, and it was pretty intuitive to the player that the order is middle, right, left. Then the final Deku Scrub would tell you about Queen Gohma, ending with "Sorry Queenie."

In the remake, the three scrubs are way closer together, and they have spotlights on them that flash in order from left to right. When defeated, the final Deku Scrub tells you something about "Dark Gohma" and says "Sorry Dark One," or something like that, and then a new dialogue line is added in small letters: "But not really though." Why? The original encounter was already fine, what on earth is the point of this change? It completely changes the context of the encounter.

There are hand-holding elements literally every inch if the screen. Navi is worse, and they added more places for Kaepora to appear. This, combined with the earlier mentioned change to the Deku Scrubs encounter, it makes me feel like Nintendo is afraid of letting the player explore. Which is baffling considering OoT already was piss easy.

Also, there are loading screens, which the original game did not have, and Aonuma really wanted to minimize during the gameplay reveal. They are pretty disruptive to the pacing of playing the game. Especially compared to the original, that was so good at scene transitions that most players dont even notice the original game changes levels in the tunnl between Mido in Kokiri Forest and the Great Deku tree in the original game, even during the cutscene that Navi flies through that tunnel. Some people may know it because emulators early on struggled at that part and have a stutter when that happens, but on original hardware at 20 fps it was not noticeable.

4 button controllers is pretty interesting. Are the two additional buttons Turbo buttons? Or were they programmable/remappable?

Jason!!

I also am not a truck person, but I believe your assessment is mostly correct. Truck people who use trucks as trucks, not the city folk who use them like a status icon, want a truck because of its utility. The Cybertuck, along with other full EV trucks, just don't match the utility of their diesel and gasoline counterparts.

• EVs are ridiculously heavy, and their power to weight ratio as it pertains to offroading is pretty bad. The weight also makes recovery a nightmare, as they get stuck in mud and wet sand often and practically need a construction crane to pull them out.

• Towing capacity is not as good. In addition, range, especially while towing, is pretty bad compared to non-EV options.

• Recreational use is also pretty muted because there is no engine making sound. You dont hear or feel the rumble from an engine. I can personally feel this one even as a road car fan.

• Charging infrastructure absolutely sucks anywhere someone is going to use a truck for anything other than a status symbol. Farmers don't have easy access to charge stations, for example, and it would be very expensive and time consuming to expand into their atea because they are so spread out.

Basically, every reason a person would choose a truck for, is a really bad choice to pick an EV truck, except "it's needlessly expensive and makes people think I have a lot of money."

I think advancements in a hybrid electric technology could make some benefits, but all in all, the diesel and gas utility is not matched by EVs still. I still think hydrogen needs more research and could be the way better option.

Do you use a smartphone?

You're never going to change the world alone. There aren't enough people with your attitude of "cut everything completely" to ever make a change. There has to be compromise somewhere, on both sides.

If someone bought a thing, they are entitled to use that thing. If the maker makes it unusable, then their options for use are limited. 99.9% of people aren't going to learn how to reverse engineer a game console to figure out how to jailbreak it, and without AI assistance, that usually takes multiple years to figure out, which is usually promptly patched out in an automatic mandatory update. Most people aren't going to even bother, so they will either pay more to keep the use, or throw it out. And for most people, they aren't throwing it out.

I've never seen GOG improvements to a game also get added to the Steam version. Has that happened before on other games? I heard the Steam versions also get the improvements, as well as integrated community improvements as well.

She only in the first episode/OVA, not Midnight Eye II, and she is naked for almost the entire time she is on screen, except for some see through sleepwear.

The point of the character is to grab the attention of a man, and then use her psychic ability to make them commit suicide usually, but sometimes murder first. Obviously a naked woman is going to work in most cases for that purpose. But it doesn't work on Goku, because he's just that good.

The most amount of clothes this character has ever worn lol

As an update, Shift Up have announced the PC client is cleaned, and they also outlined steps to take to check for infection (which is the same as the GitHub). They awarded 20 free pulls compensation and 20 rocks, with some other stuff too.

They also updated the client to check itself and remove malicious files, to prevent this in the future.

Well I did reset my PC. Its really the only way to be sure it is gone. Plus I needed to use the PC again, so I just did it. Changing all my 500 passwords is annoying, but its better than losing access.

Still, it seems this attack was planned targetting Nikke specifically. And they had access to Tencent's supply chain. I would begin to suspect someone that hates the games, or a Tencent former employee or something. Hololive also just recently did big Nikke promotions, so its possible stealing their personal data was the target, but I don't know if the attacker knew about that back in September 27 when they first delivered the entry point. But if they worked for the company, then its possible they might have known. Either way, hope it gets resolved soon.

The compensation will have to be monumental.

It seems I may have receieved the payload but it may not have launched, or if it did, it thoroughly removed traces of itself.

Also, the PC client still is serving malicious files for some CDN buckets, so its safer not to use it right now.
