> I’m begging everyone to stop freaking out over prosaic non-issues like this.

This fight was lost at least a decade ago. Everything must now be a constant source of outrage

ChrisRR··on Ogre Battle 64 Recompiled Project at 99.05%
> The game received "favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[26] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 33 out of 40.[29] Nintendo Power gave it a favorable review while the game was still in development.[37] Vicious Sid of GamePro said, "Beneath Ogre Battle 64's intimidating interface and plodding pace lies a wealth of strategy: If you choose to enlist, be sure to pack plenty of patience."[40][d]

> The game won the award for "Best Strategy Game" at GameSpot's Best and Worst of 2000 Awards,[41] and was nominated for the "Best Game No One Played" award, which went to Samba de Amigo. The staff noted that the game's sales had "fallen prey to [its] console of origin, the N64."[42] The game was also nominated for the "Best Console Strategy Game" and "Gamers' Choice: N64" awards at The Electric Playground's Blister Awards 2000, both of which went to Front Mission 3 and Perfect Dark, respectively.[43][44]

> It was rated the 111th best game made on a Nintendo System in Nintendo Power's Top 200 Games list.[45] Reviewing the Virtual Console re-release, IGN said that it "was (and still is) lordly indeed".[34]

> In 2023, Time Extension included the game on their "Best Nintendo 64 Games of All Time" list.[46]

Sounds like it was received well even if it didn't sell well

They want an artisanal, hand-crafted decomp just like grandma used to make
ChrisRR··on Canada welcomes EU proposal to become 'associate member'
This is what I meant by weaponisation of outrage. The media got people so riled up about things that didn't really affect them so that they eventually felt like the EU didn't represent them.

Fishing being the obvious example. I'd never seen many people care about fishing rights until it was suddenly a hot topic leading up to the vote, but suddenly people really cared about what was happening around the scottish coastline

ChrisRR··on Canada welcomes EU proposal to become 'associate member'
Because we have decades of evidence to show that he's incredibly stupid?
ChrisRR··on Canada welcomes EU proposal to become 'associate member'
Trump lacks the introspection to realise that he's the bully at the playground that everyone is distancing themselves from.

He somehow thinks that he's going to make the US more respected by constantly jabbing at his allies

ChrisRR··on Canada welcomes EU proposal to become 'associate member'
It means they're an american who doesn't have any input, they just want to complain about canada without a reason
ChrisRR··on Canada welcomes EU proposal to become 'associate member'
I think it's more interesting to see how many profiles pop out of the woodwork when certain political topics arise
ChrisRR··on Canada welcomes EU proposal to become 'associate member'
Having been through years of brexit crap, I can tell you that the answer is racism, and the weaponisation of outrage by the media
ChrisRR··on Canada welcomes EU proposal to become 'associate member'
It sounds like they need to read what an associate membership is before they complain about it then

ChrisRR··on PS5 Linux lead quits: "a bunch of noobs using LLMs" that "they don't understand"
Unless they didn't want to actually make money from anything nefarious, and the bounty was more than just "a few pennies"
ChrisRR··on PS5 Linux lead quits: "a bunch of noobs using LLMs" that "they don't understand"
Reading all of the quotes it seems he's more annoyed that they disclosed the bug to Sony to collect the bounty, and that they're using AI as an afterthought
ChrisRR··on PS5 Linux lead quits: "a bunch of noobs using LLMs" that "they don't understand"
Well given his history, it's almost definitely to make linux work
ChrisRR··on PS5 Linux lead quits: "a bunch of noobs using LLMs" that "they don't understand"
This title and the first quote are misleading. A dev found an undisclosed hypervisor exploit using AI that TheFlow0 had been using and keeping secret, but the other dev had informed Sony to collect the bug bounty.

It's an issue that the dev attempted to collect the bug bounty, AI or no

ChrisRR··on EU chief opens door for Canada to become 'associate member'
I wouldn't be surprised if Scotland eventually leaves UK and joins the EU. Part of the reason they voted to stay in the UK was so that they could remain in the EU, and then brexit happened
ChrisRR··on EU chief opens door for Canada to become 'associate member'
No it wouldn't. Other EU associate members have their own data protection laws, some of which align with GDPR
ChrisRR··on EU chief opens door for Canada to become 'associate member'
Trump is absolutely a malicious imbecile, but the US is a country that willingly voted him in twice.

Removing Trump doesn't remove fundamental issues with the US

ChrisRR··on EU chief opens door for Canada to become 'associate member'
This was one of the stupid things that was touted as a benefit of not being in the EU during brexit.

That we'd still have to comply with EU rules if we wanted to trade with them, but we wouldn't have any vote in those rules
