More and more I am grateful for these nutjobs leaving the EU.

If you want to avoid suspicions you probably should not answer the questions nobody has asked.

Ah yes, one of those crypto "metaverses".

I'm sure that thing still has redeeming value somehow once you remove the whole shitty premise it was built around.

Pretty much. It's built on unverifiable claims, even Freud's own case studies ended wrecks, and it!s used today to support shit "diagnoses" like "this kid is autistic because his mother loved him too much". And there's all the bullshit coming from the forced proximity with the analyst, like false memories. It is, in many ways, a pseudoscience.

As for what can be determined through actual science, there were huge cross-studies that could not find any benefit to psychoanalytic therapy for treatment of most psychological problems.

Psychoanalysis is not an equivalent term to psychology. It's only a branch of it, one that shits on experimentation and proof because all the proof you need are in the ravings of an old weirdo from a century ago.

This is shit advertising.

Get a second one and a link cable you dumb asshole.

Nowhere near as real as doctors genuinely believing pseudoscientific bullshit and having it thrive way past the point of disproven efficiency.

Looking at you, homeopathy and psychoanalysis.

Nintendo had probably planned to ditch them for a while, since they could not have reacted that fast otherwise. Chances are they would have announced the Philips thing when they did anyway, or maybe slightly later...

But in every report I've seen, Sony did showcase publicly first, and presumably without Nintendo's agreement, on CES 1991. Nintendo's partnership with Philips was announced literally the day after.

Must have been quite confusing for people attending CES in any case.

Creatures, 1996.

Acheté complètement par hasard juste parce que la boîte était cool. Un simulateur de "vie artificielle" avec des bestioles qui évoluent dans leur environnement. Au bout d'une heure, je me dis, c'est rigolo. Au bout de plusieurs jours, je commence à découvrir la complexité du truc et je me prends une énorme baffe.

Il n'y jamais rien eu de pareil à cette série, et c'est bien dommage. Gameware qui a récupéré la licence n'a jamais compris ce qui la rendait unique et espérait vaguement en sortir un virtual pet basique de merde (et même ça ils n'ont jamais pu le faire).

Donc en fait au final, c'est même plus que le redécouvrir, je veux que quelqu'un reprenne le flambeau.

Steve Grand le créateur original bricole dans son coin sur un autre projet de vie artificielle depuis des décennies. Pas sûr d'attendre encore beaucoup de ce côté, surtout que son site pue un peu les illustrations par IA générative dernièrement.

Yeah, to clarify Hotel Mario and the CD-i Zeldas are technically born from Nintendo's "fuck you" to Sony in the 90s.

They had plans with them for a CD version and/or extension of the SNES, but they ended their partnership with Sony when Sony announced the thing publicly before Nintendo agreed on the licencing points.

To officialise that Nintendo quickly got a contract with Philips instead, because that was the other company that developed the CD. Nintendo ended up not using optic discs anyway in their console nor the next one, but the contract gave Philips free rein to use Mario and Zelda licences for 4 games, so they contracted a studio to make those on their CD-i.
