TalkBack / Re: The Perfectly Subtle Remaster of Super Mario 64 in 3D All-Stars

"The Perfectly Subtle Remaster..."

It's not a remaster. It's literally just an N64 rom running in a Switch emulator. That's been confirmed in pre-release coverage. The emulator may be applying some filters to make it look nicer, but Nintendo didn't do **** when it came to remastering the game

There's some Lua scripting hacks that are replacing some assets with redrawn or scaled art.

I'm hyped

Hopefully this wasn't supposed to be a 35th anniversary 2021 game being rushed to fill 2020. Or that BoTW2 was delayed from 2021 to 2022 and they're canning Zelda's 35th anniversary all together. /negative thoughts

Nintendo probably thinks they're doing us a massive favor by not charging $150 for it.

I'm not so mad over its price but I'm getting sick and tired of these limited print runs. I hate finding a game I'm interested in only to find out it was a limited print run and physical releases are now 5x-10x the original price on ebay.

TalkBack / Re: void tRrLM(); //Void Terrarium (Switch) Review

« on: August 02, 2020, 12:08:50 AM »

I just finished this and loved it. Definitely an 8.125.

Where Void Terrarium fails to engage the player is in its gameplay loop. Strategically planning out each step and attack to save up energy could be enjoyable, if it wasn’t for the difficulty curve. Harder-hitting special attacks use additional battery power from your robot, but in the deeper stages, it’s grueling to try to get past the toughest of enemies down beneath the layers of the dungeon without these attacks. Thus, your main objective actually becomes running around like a chicken with its head cut off looking for the precious batteries that renew your energy bar just to continue the already arduous journey presented to you.

I say you're playing it wrong^tm. Save for a few bad RNGs with little or no batteries/biogels/food in the first few floors, I never had trouble keeping my energy up. If you explore the layers and kill everything you see, you will be more than strong enough to kill the mobs and the game gets broken badly after the first dozen or so floors with the Robot becoming untouchable.

The trailer really felt like an E3 presentation where Bowser would cut in at the 2 minute mark and explain the actual gameplay and then the end would segue to the Metroid Prime remaster/collection shadow drop.

Clearly the CIA is spreading conspiracy theories, again, after their newest bay of pigs plot was foiled.

Funny you mention the bay of pigs.

Diosdado Cabello, the No. 2 most powerful person in the country and eminence grise of Venezuela’s vast intelligence network, insisted that the government had infiltrated the plot for months.

“We knew everything,” said Cabello. “Some of their meetings we had to pay for. That’s how infiltrated they were.”

So Venezuela created an untrained unfunded army to 'defeat'? Reminds me of those urban legends of a small fringe group somewhere in the rural US steadily growing members with the newer members becoming more and more radical and fanatical to the point where they would start calling for forcible action, occupation, uprising, or outright mass killings. This in turn would repel away the original members as too crazy, further shifting the group off the extreme deep end. Eventually, the FBI would catch wind of them and launch a raid only to find out that all the members left were actually local police, state police, ATF, CIA, other FBI agents, and so on all working on their own individual stings.

I'm sure it was. I was laughing at how perfectly the article fit into the stereotype of the blind ideologue that refuses to ever believe that communism/socialism could, even once, fail to meet up to their utopian ideals. They always dismiss with either "not true communism/socialism, never been tried yet" or "not their fault, CIA plot was behind it". The latter in this case. The article didn't even give the time of day to list potential theories that has Maduro side at fault (piracy, being pissy with Portugal, saber rattling to keep opportunistic intervention away during a pandemic) and went immediately to poisoning the well with "tin-pot dictator, conspiracy stuff. Take it with a grain of salt". Then ending with a verbatim quote from them without any criticality of what the quote said. You couldn't be any more biased.

Sadly, that's the norm with tax evasion and regulation dodging. Companies are shameless:

I think the fact that Cruise ships are huge and naval patrol boats are smol helped it survive the "ramming". The story even describes the cruise ship as being 6 times the size in water displacement.

It also helps that it's an ice breaker ship with reinforced harden steel hulls. They picked the wrong boat to mess with.

https://www.portandterminal.com/hit-run-cruise-ship-update-venezuelan-navy-fired-shots-at-cruise-ship/
But what about the warning shots? Why would the Venezuelan Navy want to force the Resolute off-course and into an anchorage at a port in their territorial waters?

One scenario is the standard Venezuelan President Maduro, tin-pot dictator, conspiracy stuff. Take it with a grain of salt.

“The cruise ship “RCGS Resolute” is not a cruise ship. It is a military pirate ship that attacked the Navy patrol boat. It has 160 paramilitaries on board (possibly more) and, denounces the CEOFANB, equipped with inflatable boats to mobilize commandos and execute night raids”

Yes, true socialist naval ships have never been constructed yet. Clearly the CIA is spreading conspiracy theories, again, after their newest bay of pigs plot was foiled. Why would the great nation of Venezuela with its tremendous _(sole) wealth of oil possibly resort to highseas piracy in these times of record low oil prices and local hyper inflation? The poor sailors in the naval ship had no way of dodging the agile cruise ship aggressor.

There's a video of the ramming here:
