You mean the problems that experts said 10+ years ago would happen are happening?
Notably, the words the author focused on are all considered offensive now. If a more liberal person were to look for transgender porn, they may not use those terms.
As for the crypto piece of this puzzle, cybersecurity researcher Varun Biniwale pointed out hidden pages from the Flappy Bird website that indicate there may be such a component in the game’s launch. One page that seems to have been removed (and is archived here) said Flappy Bird will “fly higher than ever on Solana as it soars into web 3.0,” and invited players to “build, create, play and stake to own.”
Of course it's a crypto scam.
It's good for low-power devices that can't handle more demanding emulators, but bsnes is considered the gold standard for accuracy now.
Your threat model is unclear to me, so I'm a little confused as to why you don't just use Firefox across all platforms. You could use multi-container support to stay signed in on certain things and clear cookies in others iirc.
In short, the maintainers have made questionable decisions over the years, and the Arch Linux packages are held back by two weeks on Manjaro for... basically no reason.
If you want an out-of-the-box solution to Arch Linux, just use EndeavourOS.
In other words, Trump is only three years younger than Biden.
Please remember that SpaceX and Tesla have entire teams dedicated to handling Elon and reversing his decisions. Twitter did not have the infrastructure required to handle the sheer level of stupid that is Elon Musk.
The only repacks I trust are FitGirl's, mostly because they're compressed to all hell and she's always just... kept her head down.
A lot of scene people say they only do it for the "competition and glory" (which they said in here) because none of them really play the games they crack, but obviously it's hypocritical as fuck.
I somewhat agree with the sentiment behind the article, but...
And when you actually pick up the controller and play one of them, you begin to feel like you've been through the same gameplay loop as many other games this generation: Tales Of Arise, Scarlet Nexus, Nier Automata, Valkyrie Elysium, YS 8 and 9; they're all essentially the same action game with different spices and aesthetic fluff.
Games like Tales and NieR (both long-running franchises) have never tried to be anything but action RPGs---not to mention NieR, which I'd honestly just call a straight up Platinum action game. I'd actually call NieR closer to Elden Ring than it is to Tales, and yet the author isn't out here calling Elden Ring a JRPG. What more does NieR have in common with Tales or Ys than it does with Elden Ring besides country of origin? Does JRPG mean "game with anime-ish art style"? Maybe it's the art style, but even that's a bit of a stretch to me.
Which I think strikes at the heart of the matter: what defines a JRPG? Is it the country it came from? Obviously not. There's a very specific style of game that "JRPG" refers to, and it's a style that was very popular in the 90s and 00s. Obviously games are still made in that style: I could just as easily show a JRPG renaissance by namedropping Dragon Quest XI, Xenoblade, Yakuza: Like A Dragon, Persona 5, all the Trails games, etc. But the author is basing his notions of what a JRPG is solely on trends from 20+ years ago. Trends change. People change. Maybe in 20 years, people will be whining about whatever Japan is putting out then and saying "WHY CAN'T JAPAN GO BACK TO WHAT THEY DID RIGHT AND MAKE ANOTHER TALES GAME LIKE TALES OF ARISE?".
Yes, I think developers, studios, and even industries should take pride in where they've been creatively, and that's where I agree with the author. That said, why can't we let new games be new games? People are still making plenty of traditional JRPGs whether they're made in Japan or not (hi chained echoes and edge of eternity), so why bother the developers who don't wanna make those games and essentially tell them "you need to get over your internalized xenophobia"? It's possible they don't have internalized xenophobia like this article is suggesting, maybe they're just tired of people putting them in a box.
Well, it took him more than 2/3 of the post to mention hyprland, so I'll give him props for that.
