  1. MAPPA's latest series' trailer is here. I don't know if a US home for the series has been announced, but the first manga has been hugely popular in the States and the rest of the world, so I'm not really worried about a delayed release unless Netflix picks it up. For those unfamiliar with the series, it's based on a very gory manga that follows a homeless kid that forges a pact with a chainsaw devil. This turns him into the titular Chainsaw Man and his hunt for the gun devil. On the surface, it's as dumb as it sounds, but it's also way better than any non-spoiler synopsis would indicate. I've been looking forward to this adaptation for a while now. The manga features some great action that follows incredibly well. It should, SHOULD, be a successful adaptation. The first manga series finished up late last year with a new sequel manga series currently in the works. For some time now, I've thought a Chainsaw Man anime could be a hit the same way One Punch Man and Attack on Titan had. There's aren't a huge number of manga with that kind of potential, but I really do think Chainsaw Man is one of them.
  2. Yes, but how good they are is a different story. Snipperclips is great as are both Overcooked games. Smash Bros is a little too cramped for me. It hurts my hands after a while. Mario Kart works great as long as I turn on auto-acceleration. I'd put Puyo Puyo Tetris in here if you can get around using a joystick for these games.
  3. Always cool to see how colonialism fucked up everything... https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/article252244558.html
  4. GNOME has tossed the taskbar on the left side for years, so when I was primarily Linux, switching between it and Windows was handy. It was also handy back in my graphic design days on Mac OS 9 since I was mostly doing pamphlets and magazine layouts and having more vertical space on an old CRT was worth it. Only time recently I've done it was when I had an ultra wide monitor at the office. A long ass taskbar feels like such a waste of space. Also, yay for getting Captains Workspace to post a video more than once a year.
  5. Nobody should have they're taskbar at the top. That's terrible and you all should feel bad. On the left side of the screen is, however, perfectly acceptable. It's where I put mine when I used to do a lot of graphic design and again when I had an ultra wide monitor.
  6. Current documentation says it does need to be an NVMe drive, so the 1TB SATA drive won't do. Makes sense. NVMe is full PCIe, so I don't see how you could quickly hit the storage through a SATA controller that's basically just an updated IDE interface.
  7. Sounds like you can. I don't see any mention of requiring the OS drive to be the direct storage drive.
  8. Does your mobo have a TPM header? My X570 doesn't have a TPM, but it does have a 2x6 TPM header. 14-1 PIN TPM MODULE - Newegg.com WWW.NEWEGG.COM Buy 14-1 PIN TPM MODULE with fast shipping and top-rated customer service. Once you know, you Newegg!
  9. No, Luca is better than Onward so you're right there.
  10. I definitely enjoyed it more than Soul. I know Soul became something of a critical darling, but fuck that. While I really liked Soul, Joe was a shitty person for like 90% of the movie. On top of that, I have a very particular pet peeve when a noble sacrifice is undone like five seconds later. It's one thing that I thought Onward did exceptionally well.
  11. Isn't the web edition of TikTok very limited? No matter, I can think of a couple. I'd love to be able to access my home security cameras from my laptop. There's an app on my phone and no good way to view the camera feed over a browser. If it can handle Android notifications, I'd like getting notified on my laptop or desktop that someone wrang the doorbell accompanied with video. My phone does, but it's always nice to get alerts on the screen you're already looking at. There's also some silly stuff like Webtoons. I often buy comics from them, but they don't allow you to view bought chapters within a browser, only through their mobile app.
  12. Android runs perfectly fine on x86. The issues with Chrome OS are entirely Google's fault. Google could have just created a desktop branch of Android, but they didn't. They could have created an smart device branch of Android, but didn't; and now they're doubling down with Fuscia OS that didn't even use a Linux kernel like Chrome OS and Android. That much is Google just fucking around and having no idea how to do things. All Android apps run in a sort of virtualization layer anyway, so it should work just fine in Windows. I mean, that's how the Android SDK currently works.
  13. Looks like Microsoft wants all apps to come through they're app store, seven if that means they take 0% on revenue from app stores offered within they're app store. I wonder if that means we'll see Epic offer up EGS in there pretty soon.
  14. Has nobody else seen the? It's pretty great. It's also my kids' newest obsession, so I've watched it like three or four times already. It's nowhere near Pixar's best, but it's still very good. There's nothing wrong with a good "you don't have to be 'normal' " movie. I also really appreciate how that extends to Guilia coming from a broken home with two great parents and it's not even singled out.
  15. I'm in the same boat. I really love the look. It's the best 3D adaptation of the 2D graphics I could have hoped for.
  16. Demo drops on Friday. There were giant cat lasers and a large pig that blew up and turned into smaller pigs. I think those are the most important bits. The game actually looks great. I don't know why, but this game sort of fell off my radar for a bit.
  17. Didn't they reboot the Wolfenstein story into an alternate timeline at some point? If not then, yeah, Wolfenstein wins. Zelda doesn't count. It's alternating timelines and different people set over thousands of years. Metroid is a straight timeline with no diversions. It's wildly rare to see in any media, let alone games. Just think about how many games would even fall into this category. Elder Scrolls? They started in the early-90s and are still on the same timeline. Resident Evil started in mid-90s.
  18. Another thing to consider is that Metroid is an outlier when it comes to major Nintendo franchises. For some reason, Nintendo thinks every entry in a game has to be changed in some new and unique way. Even Mario Kart needs some unique gimmick added every generation, even if that's just adding a second driver or hover mechanics that don't really change anything but the view. This has been great to keep some franchises like Mario feeling fresh even after so many decades. It's been terrible got some franchises like F-Zero, Wave Race, and 1080 that Nintendo feels they can't really add anything to. You can tell that after Metroid Prime Nintendo thought they figured out the formula and went all out with new types of Metroid games. The following decade have us everything from pinball to a multiplayer FPS to whatever isometric thing Other M was. After that died down the next decade was, what? A remake and a really cheaply thrown together Federation Force?
  19. I think I may have mentioned this elsewhere, but I think Nintendo's problem was that they wanted to save money and not go with a full home console release. Metroid isn't exactly one of Nintendo's best sellers and they likely thought a home console side scroller would exasperate things. They, obviously, missed the DS they were originally targeting, but they did hit the 3DS with Samus Returns as a test for giving Dread to MercurySteam. Outsourcing to MercurySteam is absolutely cheaper for them than developing the game internally. That just winds up being this weird 15 year gap between the start of the DS and then 5 years into the Switch. That's a lot of words to read that the DS couldn't do it, the 3DS was likely possible, but by that time MercurySteam had popped up as a happy test to outsource all the development for less money. Also Nintendo doesn't trust Metroid to sell all that well, and I don't blame them. I mean, I love Metroid. I've been playing Metroid games since my first taste in the 80s on the NES. Super Metroid is the second game I ever replayed immediately after beating it on the SNES. The first was Star Fox. But like...they don't sell well. Nintendo should really expand the Metroid universe. Do more stuff like Federation Force, but better. Metroid has Nintendo richest story. It's also, I believe, the longest running story arc in gaming...I can't think of anything that's run longer. Nintendo should lean into it. Metroid should be their Star Wars, but it isn't because they don't care.
  20. As a guy that worked for a French company full of Frenchmen...I can't remember how many times I've told them they can't be trusted and how many times they agreed.
  21. I would love to know what exactly Nintendo shared with MercurySteam. I imagine they shared the story and probably some character designs, but I wonder if there was anything more than just concept art. It would be interesting to see how anything developed for the DS was reimagined for the Switch. Then again, we don't even know if this game ever even got very far into development on the DS.
  22. It hasn't been in development for 15 years. Development began 15 years ago and then the game was put on hold, indefinitely. This isn't Duke Nukem Forever where development was ongoing and then restarted multiple times. It was begun and then shelved until now.
  23. Couldn't they both be summarized as humans opened a portal to another world which leads to them being overrun by murderous demons/aliens?
