Extremely expensive to upgrade to and broadcast. Most places that broadcast NFL games still do it in 1080p instead of 4k. NFL makes a lot of money, but not enough for that.

Plus it would take excitement out of the game and players would have more information than the referees. This would lead to disappointment when a play is called or not called or a foul happens the referees didn’t see, etc. This already happens a little bit and NFL fans are heated about it, I don’t think this kind of tech is viable for football.

The sport is an experience, and part of that experience is the current way it is broadcast.

Also:

What could possibly be more American than mock battles over an inflated pig carcass with military tech shit?

This is worded in an unnecessarily rude and inflammatory manner.

When Reddit stopped supporting third party apps, some people who moved to Lemmy did use bots to try to transfer content from Reddit to Lemmy.

Unfortunately, Lemmy users are kinda like Luddites when it comes to bots and AI. They’re tools that can be very beneficial of course, but Lemmy users treat them all like they’re literally worse than Hitler despite the great value of the content they were transferring. The hate, reporting, and blocking of bots and bot accounts was so bad that most people that operated them just gave up completely, and I don’t blame them.

Look, I don’t like bots that advertise as much as the next guy, but Lemmy has a serious drought of content, even now. And I mean real, valuable knowledge content. I certainly was not and still am not opposed to bot transferring data from Reddit or forums to Lemmy. But this is where I must admit, I am a serious outlier when it comes to Lemmy user demographics.

No seriously, get a dashcam. Everyone should have a dashcam. Its probably one of the most invaluable tthings you can have installed onto your vehicle these days.

If its hovering above the lane and you can drive under it without crashing and it seems like it isn’t going to land or inte ding to land, there is no law requiring you to yield but I personally would try to switch lanes and not be directly underneath it.

If it seems like it is going to land, I would yield to it same as a plane landing on a highway, but usually highway police are there to start a traffic break after being radiod by local ATC anyway.

There is no need to put on your hazards, they can see that you have stopped. If they can’t, then it doesn’t matter since they can’t see you.

I would honestly recommend trying to leave the area as quickly and safely as you can, because if it isn’t hostile already, it will be when the army arrives.

Probably recycle the oldest ones because those people will be long dead by then.

But let’s not kid ourselves, everyone paying into SS right now is never going to get the benefit of it because it will have collapsed.

Hope they get it right, but I am not holding my breath.

As a Silent Hill fan myself, just wait until you find out how much people are demanding for games like Kuon and Panzer Dragoon Saga (USA).

100% just emulate them. Used sales do not give the original developers or publishers money anyway, so they couldn’t argue about “lost sales” (stupid term BTW) anyways.

Plus, disks succumb to disk rot eventually, people are starting to see it happening with laser disks. Cartridges go bad, etc. It can be nice to have a physical copy, but only get them for ones that are affordable and need the physical as part of the experience. Steel Battalion, for example, requires the 40 button, 3 joystick, 3 footpedal controller as part of the experience.

That is what I wanted. I love tank controls, and I wish more game would utilize them.

Mobile? Really?

It is similar to Steam Big Picture Mode, yeah. Its got a special mode called BigBox mode, its designed to mimic console UIs. There are a lot of community made themes that change up how it looks.

You could probably use something like autohotkey or some gamepad mapper to link Chrome into LaunchBox. I have never tried it, but you can technically add any executable with a field for launch arguments.

It is great for video games. Other content can work with it but that would be more finnicky. I have successfully got movies and downloaded TV shows to appear in it but you have to set them up like emulated games. The neat part is for older content, you can actually load it up in Retroarch and gain access to Retroarch’s screen shaders like the CRT shaders, which can add a nice touch to older 4:3 content.

I have the same one. Works well for what I need it for.

Yes, the keyboard wont require regular use but you should still have one. You can use a frontend like I do, but there will always be little quirks or issues with updates so youll have to keep a mouse and keyboard handy, but you dont need to have it always visible or to use for the system, just for correcting problems.

I set up an HTPC for emulation and gaming. LaunchBox is my frontend of choice. Set up the PC to autoreboot every day at 3am. It only occasionally has an issue where LaunchBox crashes and needs to be manually restarted or something needs an update.

My goals are beyond your understanding.

Sensationalism sells.

No, it will be fine. It doesn’t need a case.

Its more than nostalgia. The games actually look better because thats what they were designed with.

Nowadays people seem to use “nostalgia” as some hand waive to dismiss something as unnecessary or invalid. But in this case it is actually necessary, old games just do not look good on any display technology other than CRTs. Shaders come extremely close, and if you have an HDR compatible screen that gets bright and vibrant enough, shaders can be nearly comparable to real CRTs.

It hurts me that the Castlevania screenshot does not match the pattern of the other screenshots with filter on the left and raw on the right.

EDIT: Thank you for fixing it.

FromSoftware has never made a game I didn’t enjoy. From their well known games like Dark Souls, Armored Core, and now apparently everyone on Earth knows about King’s Field, to their more niche titles like Metal Wolf Chaos, Kuon, and The Adventures of Cookie and Cream. Yes, I even liked Ninja Blade.

Except Steel Battalion for the Xbox 360 but that is entirely because Capcom mandated the Kinect be used for controls.

Also am a big fan of Konami, pre-2005. They never really had huge masterpieces aside from what Kojima and Team Silent made, but their other games were fun and varied, taking on almost an experimental position. Games like Gungage were very engaging, if a little short.

Its to entice people to spend more.
