this seems to happen SPECIFICALLY with games that have furries among their playables
No, you just don’t notice it in other games because you’re a furry and like furry games.
Modern games suck for the most part. Game studios are full of people who fail to realize what made games (such as Suikoden, on which Eiyuden Chronicle is based) great at best, and who have utter contempt for them at worst.
The hobby won’t heal until that changes.
Naturally, the Nintendo Switch and Steam versions of Princess Maker 2 Regeneration remain unchanged and will be released as scheduled on July 11th.
I have to wonder if Sony has pressured them to delay the release for other platforms as well.
This is the way to do it, though. If Sony wants to act like this then they should be the last to see the game release - if they see it at all.
“My belief is that storytelling does need to be representative of all people,” Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy recently told the New York Times, discussing a pushback by certain corners of the internet against the upcoming Disney+ series, decrying the show for prominently featuring characters of color and women in its cast. “That’s an easy decision for me.”
Nobody cares anymore, Kathy. Not even this fake manufactured outrage bait is going to get normies to watch this slop.
I'm not sure what your argument is here?
I think it's pretty obvious. The programmer could write extremely optimized code but if it ends up being packaged with unoptimized assets - a decision they may have no control over - the end result is still going to be a massive size for the game as a whole. It's not like the code itself takes up much storage.
I take it that all games that are 150 gigs are excellent examples of programming then?
Those 150 gigs have nothing to do with "programming,"
Are you arguing in good faith?
I point this out regularly when ResetEra comes up, but they assign user numbers sequentially, list the latest user on their home page, and give a total member count. From what I hear you can't delete your own account either.
The latest member is 170,925 while the member count is 61,248. That would mean that 109,677 accounts (or over 64% of the total) have been banned.
What I want is for these people to face the consequences of their ideology. If only they would wake up in another world where Trump really was a fascist, they were faced with this choice and chose the bear, and men really did subjugate women for fun.
And as an added benefit they would be gone from this world. A man can dream...
mysteriously
Helicopters crashing in IMC isn’t necessarily a mystery. It’s what caused Kobe Bryant’s helicopter to crash, too. And the fact is that the presence of the rich and famous or politically powerful makes some pilots take risks they wouldn’t otherwise take, whether due to something said or not.
I’m sure Israel and the US would like to have killed him, but I find it very believable that pilot error could have caused a crash in that pea soup fog.
I think it's part of the Doctor Who cycle that people tune in at the start when there's a new Doctor to see if they like it. People would even say that the beauty of the show is that if you don't like the way it is now just wait until the next Doctor and it will feel different.
I don't understand why anyone would watch this iteration for more than a couple minutes, but I think a lot of normies are naïve enough to "give it a couple episodes."
most of what's going on with Elon & Google can be explained as competing oligarchs vying to suppress the emergence of competition.
I have a hard time feeling bad for Altman when OpenAI is turning around and supporting regulation that would stifle competition (and potentially open source projects) in the name of “ethics.”
Absolutely fine with it if the character creator is still able to create masculine men and feminine women.
And this is why you can't count on normies to ever wake up to this shit. They're perfectly content to sit in the pot as it boils so long as it doesn't get too hot.
The regressive left knows this, and it's why they've played the long game in their infiltration of institutions. It's also why they deny what they're doing until it's too late to stop it, at which point it becomes a standard industry practice and actually a good thing.
If these same normies had been shown the same thing 20 years ago they wouldn't have been "absolutely fine with it." But here we are, because all that matters to them is the here and now.
There are a few ways to possibly download a .png or .jpg instead of .webp.
If you use wget or curl (the latter of which is included in recent versions of Windows) it should download the specified file. On many sites adding a parameter to the URL (even just a ? at the end) will cause them to deliver the image in the original format instead of webp.
If you set your user agent to a browser too old to accept webp that may also work depending on the site. And then there are extensions for rejecting webp, but that introduces a whole new layer of trusting the author.
All of this assumes that the image doesn’t exist only in webp format originally, but that’s rare at this point.
