The first two Sonic kart racing games were good, but I heard that the third one was a step down from the first two. (I’ve only played the first two myself.) I liked the fact that the first games had split screen for couch multiplayer on PC – that’s not common.
Glad to see Crimson Viper come back, I thought she was going to be a new series mainstay after being in both Street Fighter 4 and Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
The trailer was definitely unexpected. :D
I think you nailed the water! The lines in the sand are a great touch, too.
I’m wondering if the fediverse in general (but especially Lemmy) would benefit from some kind of “fediverse help wanted” board for moderators, donations, technical help, etc.
edit: People who run a Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed/etc instance might be hanging out in the Matrix chat room for the software they are running; that might already serve this purpose.
If you really liked the interactions between the characters, honestly I think The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog did that better than any of the other games did. If that’s the main appeal for you, you’ve already played the best one. I haven’t read the comics myself, but like others have mentioned, that’s probably what you’re looking for.
Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 feature many of the same characters as The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, but the dialog isn’t really as polished. It’s an English translation of a Japanese game at a time when they were still trying to figure out how to do cutscenes in 3D Sonic games. But based on your criteria, I’d say those are a good starting point, though. They’re both on Steam. (The first game is called Sonic Adventure DX because it has the “upgraded” graphics that many fans think is actually a downgrade in art style. There are mods to change things back to their original look. I think this SADX mod installer installs all of them for you.)
Sonic X Shadow Generations has many of the levels from Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, but lacks the same cutscenes and characters. The gameplay is great, though.
And if you liked the OST, then you’ll definitely like the music in the 2D games, especially Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic Mania.
What you are referring to as pedantry, is in fact, semantics/pedantry.
Android itself does plenty of data collection on its own; I’m not sure if the brand really makes much of a difference here, unfortunately.
I installed Sailfish OS on a Sony Xperia phone a few years ago, and that worked well enough. I had a couple of Android apps that I needed to use for work, and Sailfish has some kind of Android environment built in that lets you run Android apps. I worked for me, but I didn’t try any payment apps or others that tend to be picky about what type of phone you’re using.
In case anyone misread the headline the way I did: The PS5 is selling about the same as the PS4 did at this point in its lifespan. The headline kind of makes it sound like the PS4 is still selling as many consoles as the PS5 today.
Honestly, I’m kind of surprised that it’s selling that well at all, considering how much of this generation has just been remasters of PS4 games.
With Forza coming out on PS5 a few days ago, and now this, it definitely seems like Playstation owners will be playing Halo soon.
A few months ago I couldn’t sleep, so I turned on the TV and flipped through the regular old channels for the first time in probably about 15 years. There was a sumo tournament on NHK (Japanese public broadcaster) and I was immediately hooked. I’ve been following each tournament since then. For anyone who’s curious about it, matches are very easy to understand if you just want to watch the sport, but if you decide to starting looking up more information about the history behind these events, there is so much to read.
I remembered seeing a post on Mastodon a while ago about an AI-generated vulnerability report, and this article reminded me of that. Turns out, that old one was also about curl. He has been dealing with this bullshit for a while now. https://mastodon.social/@bagder/111245232072475867
On that old one, the indignant attitude of the guy who “reported” the vulnerability still irritates me. He admits that he used AI (this was when Google’s AI was called Bard, so that’s what he means by “I have searched in the Bard”), and still has this tone of “how dare you not have fixed this by now!”
Wow. I didn’t realize this was pixel art at first. Zoomed out it looks like a fairly detailed digital painting.
Absolutely fantastic! More emotional impact than many entire movies I’ve seen!
This looks fantastic! And makes great use of a limited color palette, too.
It’s my understanding that Thunderbird operates as a very independent subsidiary within Mozilla. If they can turn a profit, maybe they can be even more independent. Personally, I’m optimistic about this.
I’ve started doing notes in the terminal as well. I used Obsidian and Logseq for a while, mainly because I wanted something with a GUI so that I could recommend it to people who aren’t comfortable with the terminal. But eventually I figured that a terminal solution was the right one for me, since I have a terminal open all the time anyway.
I switched from vim to kakoune a while ago ( https://kakoune.org/ ), so I use nb ( https://xwmx.github.io/nb ) instead of vimwiki.
nb is a terminal application that will open whatever your default text editor is.
Oof. Marvel Tokon was just revealed three days ago, and is being made by a developer that everyone already knows and loves. This has to be the most unfortunate timing I’ve ever seen.
Edit: OK I spoke too soon… apparently the people who worked on Killer Instinct are working on this. This could be good. Still going to be less hyped than a new Marvel fighting game, though.
