According to who? Halo CE anniversary is higher fidelity than the original sure. But the art direction is all over the place and not at all consistent with the original style. Not to mention the fact they changed the geometry of everything without actually changing collision. Making shots hit walls/trees/objects that are no longer in that spot.

They also just took enemy models straight out of halo reach without any consideration for how those designs match the original games aesthetic.

If you like it, great. I'm happy you're able to enjoy it. But as someone who grew up with the original the anniversary version was a slap in the face and a blatant cash grab.

That being said I don't have much faith that a new remake would be much better.

Steve bannon looks like the result of a teleportation experiment gone awry. now he's started his metamorphosis into a half man half totalled 1998 Chevy Silverado monstrosity.

Yes. In the article she states she did exactly this.

To be honest I actually don't think it sounds all that bad. If it were forced military service I'd think it was terrible. But it sounds like you can just do community service instead of the military training. And it's just one weekend a month for twelve months. Given how much we're disconnected from our communities these days I think making sure kids engage with their communities in this way could actually be really beneficial.

That's just thinking about this one policy in a Vaccuum though. I know nothing about British politics so I have no clue what other awful and heinous shit this party may or may not be into.

Surprised anyone has even seen that. Was a really fun watch.

Why was a cop even involved here? Doesn't animal control exist for situations like this? Yknow, like someone actually trained to handle animals instead of someone trained to behave like an animal?

I can be both mad that this data isn't public record and that the BATFE aren't doing their jobs.

I would disagree that there's zero reason for this data to be public record. I'd agree with you if we were just shielding individuals who are purchasing like one handgun or something. That's something that I don't think is anyone else's business. But if a dude is buying 95 semi-automatic rifles in a short period of time you bet your ass I think that should be public knowledge. No one should be able to secretly purchase enough firearms to arm a small militia.

Is he a closeted republican? Or a closeted murderer? Or is he a secretly gay man that murders Republicans?

Per the linked article.

"Gun trace data is kept out of public view by a rider to a Congressional bill known as the “Tiahrt Amendment,” passed in 2003 to shield gun shops from scrutiny. Each year, the ATF provides a count of the guns recovered in Mexico that had been bought in the U.S., with no further details."

Nothing to do with the Mexican govt. The US govt passed a law in 2003 to prevent gun sale data from being public record. This includes sales of firearms eventually used in armed conflicts in Mexico.

American here.

No fucking clue. I'm as surprised as you are. Seriously wtf?

Interesting. It's maybe been like a year or so for me. I have had to repatch a couple times. Good to know I got more bullshit to look forward to.

What's wrong with youtube vanced? It works just fine for me.

Yes, this, of all things, is the one thing sowing doubt in Justice Alito's impartiality. Before this he's been an absolute model of impartiality. No one has ever been more impartial.

Nice, a Lemmy post of a picture of a Tumblr post citing reddit for a completely bogus fact. We truly are using all of our brains these days.

I mean. This is what Ubi have been doing forever. Just about all of there games allow you to link with Ubisoft connect for some little in-game tchotchkes. But they never require it. I remember getting the Altair outfit from it way back in Assassin's Creed 2.

It's not like Ubi are new to PC gaming like Sony is. Doesn't make sense for them to change tact now. This is just an easy win for them riding off the back of Sony's blunder.

Lol, guys it's not acceleration it's just the exact definition of acceleration. Which is definitely not acceleration.

And music streaming is only as good as it is because artists are getting completely shafted at every turn by both the streaming services and the record labels.

Damn. Hifi Rush was probably my favorite game last year. And that's saying a lot for a year absolutely packed with crazy good releases.

Hopefully the devs maintained the rights to the IP, though I somehow doubt it, so they can still make the sequel under a different umbrella.

Is that Eric Andre doing his best Jet Set Radio cosplay? Because he's kinda nailing it.

Yeah I do genuinely think the pocket operators are cool. At least I did when I thought they were cheap. Had no idea they got that expensive. Though that's obviously not at all expensive when you're talking about audio gear. So I'm willing to give them a modicum of leeway there.
