Honestly, perfection in this case is pretty difficult to achieve and, for such a small library, we'll probably be ok with it being good enough. We're really approaching the max capabilities of the De10 Nano at this point anyway.

Aretha Collection 1993-1995 is being developed for PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch, and is set to include Aretha the Super Famicom (1993), Aretha II: Ariel no Fushigi-na Tabi (1994), and Rejoice: Aretha Oukoku no Kanata (1995).

It will launch in Japan on July 30th, priced at 8,580 yen, and will also be available as a physical deluxe edition (PS5 and Nintendo Switch only), priced at 16,280 yen, which includes an illustrated booklet, a large acrylic stand, a jigsaw puzzle, and a soundtrack CD...

Sadly, none of the games in the Aretha series ever got an official English release, and we imagine it's probably unlikely this collection will reach the West.

Looks like there's a fan translation for the first game at least on ROMhacking.net.

Really love the manga so I was excited for the show.

I'm a bit concerned that the pacing of the TV show is a bit slow and would have preferred that the Mother/Daughter interaction was handled a little bit more abridged compared to the manga. Comic pacing can generally be a bit more punctual despite covering a lot more due to pacing being "flexible" based on reader engagement, if that makes sense.

Overall though a very faithful adaptation. But I do worry that some people might bounce off the show if it doesn't "get to the point" fast enough, I've seen people seemingly thinking this will be a magical girl slice of life show and it definitely isn't that...

Also, I mean, if people don't like it they don't have to use bluseky to use the app you've made.🤷‍♀️ It doesn't really change that some people out there might like to use both.

I always go mint chocolate chip when I'm getting my own ice cream.

It's really rare for me to opt into getting a tub of it, as often I'm getting that for multiple guests or whatever, and forcing mint chocolate chip on everyone in that circumstance feels like forcing Hawaiian pizza on others at a party. So when I'm getting a scoop in store, it's like "now's my chance!"

How will this be achieved? I'd be curious to see if a really rudimentary estimation is used based on GPU benchmarks internally (like an estimation kernel trained of Valve's internal benchmarking of machines against the steam machine, for example.)

 

Does anyone know of any games that have arcade-style pick up and play but also feature some element of long form gameplay? This can be in the form of some narrative, a meta game or something in between.

The only example I can think of that I've played is Catherine, a puzzle-arcade game with a visual novel that bridges the game's individual levels.

Indie games or retro games are both applicable.

Makes you wonder what they're going to do with all this hardware they're buying? I hope that they (the ultra rich) are the ones to hold the bag for once in their lives.

Just kidding, they'll probably get a bailout from our (US) corrupt government.

It works really well through wine. It's a little setup but it isn't too bad imo.

Thankfully there are still some games that have custom server support, but they're mostly in the open source space.

I really agree that, with the way gaming has gone, custom servers are going to be a necessity. The only problem is that people generally like the consistency and usability of match-making services which would also need to be open sourced, but I think there are probably clever ways to design around this (for example, servers belong to tags and users have to opt-in and opt-out of tags, and game master server lists are responsible for administering these tags.)

Nice, might like to check it out myself now.

I couldn't believe how many people bought that Harry Potter game that came out like 2 years ago. Not only was the game shitty looking ubishlock, but also we've known for years just how f***ed up jk rowling is as a person.

Having said that, as I child I remember protesting against the school trying to encourage me to buy Harry Potter at the school book faire. I get now that they were only trying to encourage me to read by suggesting a popular book, but I really didn't like the cult-like obsession around this book even as a kid, so I've had bad vibes around the book series since the very-late 90s lol.

Whoa is that true?

Also, I feel like I completely blocked this commercial out of memory until recently. I think I somehow glossed over just how strange the vibes of that commercial were because I feel like I would have remembered it more lmao.
