Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Used Donkey Kong Country To Explain Why Crash Bandicoot Was Too Hard

I find this story rather awkward. From reading the quotes, I don't get the feeling that DKC was easier or CB harder, but rather, that DKC was way better paced on terms of mechanics and enemy management. Which is often the case on Japanese games, much more often than western ones. Not because one sucks more than the other but due to different philosophy of gaming (freedom vs boundaries).

I certainly didn't think CB was harder than DKC, especially if you try to 100% DKC. A common mistake people make about Nintendo games.

Re: Retro Indie Title "Moons of Darsalon" Is Headed To Consoles, Complete With Icky AI Art

@Hexapus Are you purposedly not understanding the point they are making? If the comparison with the printing press is lost on you then, god help us. I'm not sure if you're trolling or if you don't actually know what you're talking about... Let's admit you're an artist (something I actually doubt at this point but let's): remember when digital drawing was introduced? Yeah... Same thing here with AI...

Maybe one day, like any invention, (yes like the press!) and proper regulations, people will finally realise that generative AI is just another tool for artists. One that can, idk, create poses on demand for character references, extend an idea to improve art, help brainstorming, and god would it be so terrible if it helps individuals with no monetary means achieve their dreams? Like any tech, a few big corpo will try to abuse it bu the technology itself is not bad, and can be beneficial to everyone if you use it responsibly... Like any other invention ever.

I'm confused as to why anyone is surprised by their pettiness. Most fan-translators and members of the emulation community have an ego bigger than that of Musk. It's not the first time stg like this happens, it won't be the last.
They didn't realise anything in 12y, someone took over, tough luck for them but that's what happens when you think so high of yourself but don't do *****.
