I'm not saying they deserve to lose their job if they don't learn the new tools, I'm just saying technology isn't going to wait because some people get mad about it, you know?

I personally love the look of old hand drawn animation compared to the new computer-made stuff. But there is no denying that the pay-to-work-effort ratio is drastically better for animators now because of computers. Animators that learned the new tools don't have to work as much as they used to before computers, especially if comething needed changes, and thus get better pay for the amount of work they have to do. Same idea with farmers when tractors were invented, many situations where the same idea applies.

And the thing about art is that there will literally always be a market for human created art. Even if people have to pay extra for it, they will. Real human artists will never not exist.

Good point. Kinda like the animators at animation studios that refused to move to the computer for their work, where are they all now? As technology progresses, people eother adapt or get left behind.

EDit: Release price at $150 USD, this is a massive rip off.

This has a neat design, but only having the same Atari games all Atari products have been launching with makes it pretty valueless IMO, especially in comparison to other products like the R36S which is only like $40 USD and plays everything up to PS1/N64 easily. It might not have the bells and whistles this one does, but for $40 thats hard to beat. Also the R36S can easily fit in your pocket.

Not including the multiplayer mode would be an immense L. I get the game for free since I backed the Remake of the original on Kickstarter, I wouldn't even install the game if the multiplayer isn't included.

"Nah." Pretty lame moment, honestly. Big let down IMO, because the rest of the game was fantastic.

Hopefully they went in and fixed some of the jank, because oh boy is the original janky. Also hopefully they kept multiplayer functionality.

Not sure on the art style, it seems like a kinda lazy half-implementation of PBR lighting but the art style seems to clash being a bit on the cartoonier side. Gives everything a turbo plastic look.

I hate this new trend of multiplayer games only supporting teams of three, and seeing only 3 players in this trailer basically confirms for me that it inly supports 3.

Guess I can only have two friends. Thanks gaming industry.

I mean, the real answer is to just tell California to resume their old smog exemption law for cars more than 30 years old, which they stopped in 2004 (thus making the cutoff year 1974).

As a Californian, like 99% of all cars on the road, even in the "bad smog areas" are less than 10 years old. It would have next to zero effect on anything except that older cars wouldn't be restricted anymore.

Honestly, this is probably ole Prigozhin getting a last laugh in. Again.

I just can't let him go, he was like the cashcow of NCD. NCD without him just isnt the same.

Oh please, Putin writes his own ineffective and wrong puff-pieces, he doesn't need my help on as insignificant of a platform as Lemmy.

Who's going to be an Apologist for a nation that is in year 3 of their special operation meant to last only 3 days? Lol.

Then when will Sony stop paying studios to not port their game to platforms other than PlayStation, regardless of time gate? This has been Sony's playbook since the beginning of their gaming venture, I don't see them stopping any time soon. Its entirely how they gained such a big market share and keep it. People buy consoles because of the exclusive games.

Nobody would be buying a Switch if I could buy Nintendo games on literally any other console. They would be guaranteed to be running way better than they do on Switch.

Ill be real, it being less than an hour, I am assuming this was either a miscommunication or something that was already planned and there wasn't enough time to tell all the troops about the deal yet.

Still quite noncredible though.

 

I am getting kinda sick of constantly not being able to post comments on seemingly random posts due to this error.

The instance is English, the post title is English, and my comment is in English. I have even logged into my instance website to change the language settings to have both "Undetermined" and "English" selected, and that still doesn't work. Not all posts have this problem, and not even posts in just one community or instance. Seems like the error is completely random.

I have to imagine this is an error specific to Connect for Lemmy, since I don't get the same error if I comment from my web browser. It seems to come from Connect for Lemmy not having an option to set the comment language when posting? Can that be corrected please?
