Dolphin - absolutely banger of a gamecube/wii emulator. It has absolutely everything imaginable.

Dolphin has so much customization if needed, it even allows typing mathematical equations to alter analog stick sensitivity curve. My mind was absolutely blown when I found that out. Added some tiny tweaks to it to "round out" the curve a bit, as I felt like the small movements didn't really register as neatly as I would have hoped, and with small mathy-math-math input it was great. For the life of me I can't remember what the equation was, probably squareroot or squaring the analog input so it curved a bit. (EDIT: I did the equation for trigger, not analog stick, but option for the stick is still there)

Mesen is also quite dope for NES, at least the version I'm still using. I've understood the current version bundles nes and snes into same application? Either way, probably still pretty much top tier.

IMO, best features:

  • integer scaling to big image, bilinear scaling back down to fit to screen. Less blur and pixels stay (visually) same size without distortion
  • online play

ScummVM, not really an emulator per se, rathar an interpreter (afaik). Essentially it lets you play old (and some new) adventure games on modern systems. It does all adlib/midi/mt32 (with roms you need to source yourself) and graphics tricks. Unified settings and all my adventures in one places? Easily scummvm over actual retro-pc/mac/amiga/whatever.

Grim Fandango is great, and the remaster with mouse controls is absolute peak with the added traditional mouse point&click interface. Though, mouse controls don't really work for every occasion in the game, but it's pretty minor issue overall.

Shame the remaster couldn't really clean up the cutscenes, as those are VERY crunchy with the late 90's video compression. Kinda same for the static backdrop graphics. The in-game lighting did get a lot nicer!

I've been meaning to test out https://hexagon.codes/grimhd - someone seems to be ai-upscaling the backdrops to modern resolutions & color depths, they seem very nice on the screenshots. So you know, disclaimer: haven't tried it myself, can't endorse it, and if you do: scan it for nasties first.

wonder if it's going to rat someone out by saying something along the lines of

when the company as allocated at most 5 seconds per delivery and you've already spent 3, reading instructions is not going to happen. Gotta go fast

edit: also, no idea what's going on with the kirby lore, as referred in the comic.

"If you decapitate Karlach before having spoken to her and then resurrect her, she'll no longer spend the rest of the game headless."

Man, some interactions in this game are wild.

well, I do understand that in tournaments the games shouldn't be modded.

Otherwise: let players do what ever they please.

So, done several of this carjacking missions now, when they're timed, I usually get within like 200-300m away from the target until time runs out, even if I've literally leaned on the pedal and had straight road with next to no traffic on it.

I can only assume there are more optimal ways to get to the destination than what the "gps routing" is giving me, unless I just plain old need to "gid gud".

Give it to me straight, are these just brutally tight timewise or do I just plain suck?

I wouldn't usually care for optional things, but El capitan berating me each time is getting old.

I have several pieces of cyberware, which when upgraded from tier 5 to 5+, basically all the ... tertiary? stats (the blue ones at the bottom of the item card) go down.

While it is true that the main feature of the cyberware piece does USUALLY get marginally better, it seems weird that the other stats go down?

But sometimes it seems to turn worse too, for example Deep-field Visual Interface, got a tier 5 version of it:

  • Crit Chance increases the further you are from the enemy (max. 95% at 90 meters)
  • Cool Attuned: +1% Crit. Damage per Attribute Point

But when upgraded to tier 5+, the first stat becomes (edit: found a screenshot for this: https://i.imgur.com/CzLAWlY.png)

  • Crit Chance increases the further you are from the enemy (max. 92% at 95 meters)

which to me feels just worse, unless I'm completely missing something here. Lower max cc at longer range? Wut?

What's the dealio? Does the upgrade view not take into account some perks I've selected or something? Or taking them into account wrongly/partially/derp?

It feels weird to not upgrade my gear because the higher tier item is just worse and I'm swimming in crafting materials.

but what about programmers with problems hearing? An alternative of webcam video with sign language, pantomime and subtitles is needed!

edit: OOH! Use AI to generate the sign language videos. Could be wild, considering how good AI is at drawing hands.
