I never knew how any of that stuff worked and never cared... until I made a dumb comment and someone gave me an award for it. Dammit, I was proud. But I still feel sour about the API changes, to the point where I don't care what they do. Maybe drive more people out to other platforms. I'd like to see some of my Fandom communities migrate to other places.

Indie is the new AAA. I think some people were saying this even back when most indie games were just 16-bit style sidescrollers. But now small teams and even individual developers are giving us stuff that looks good, plays good, and is more fun than a lot of AAA games out there, and it comes with a lot of variety too. I think that AAA games are going to become micro-transacriom factories. Once Nintendo starts putting loot boxes into their games it's over for AAA.
Here's another one. I do not care about 60fps unless the game looks for input every frame. Not even a little bit. I would not have known how many frames Tears of the Kingdom was running on if no one said it in the reviews, and honestly I don't even really see the difference most of the time.
And a bonus: reamking old games is a good thing. Re-releasing is fine i guess, but enhancing character models, textures, lighting, addressing glitches and stuff that made the original less fun, and maybe giving some bonus content is a great idea. Companies like Nintendo need to stop cracking down on people emulating/modding/making fan enhancements of their old games and start making their own upgraded versions. Most people who play HD mods/remakes of their games would be happy to pay to buy a competent remake/remaster. I play Render96 for Mario 64 and own multiple copies of the game. Would I buy and HD remake anyway? Absolutely.
I respect that there's a government out there that actually does things good for the individuals. US government would probably allow laws to make it illegal to replace your own batteries even if you knew how to. Or to outlaw making batteries that are compatible with a company's devices.
I think this is totally real. No way anyone could have guessed that being tarkatan came from a disease in this version before the trailer (let alone it being called the "tarkat" disease).
I also believe that Scorpion is Kuai Liang this time. Considering that Bi-Han is definitely Sub-Zero, and Scorpion is confirmed his brother. It wouldn't make sense for it to be Hanzo considering Hanzo came from a totally different country.
It's all about the money, money
Some of Alan Lee's demos can be heard on his official website. Under the character section you can hear a sample of his voices. Many are cartoonist, but a few sound more mature, even slightly sinister, much like the wicked sorcerer Shang Tsung.
