I think the old Westwood dev they put in charge of the franchise just doesn't have any oversight.

At least some of the remaster source code is in the repo, too. If the TS or RA2 source code is found, people will be immediately able to do that graphics switch for them, too.

IIRC, a few years ago EA hired some of the original devs, put them in charge of the franchise, and then went very hands-off, but with very little budget. So far they've done this, and a very reasonably priced 4K remaster of TD and RA1.

That's only the HD remaster of TD and RA1.

Though do also note that of these four, TD and RA1 were already made freeware years ago.

Not exactly a suggestion, but why emulate Okami instead of just running the PC version?

Edit: If you get the PC version, you should be able to use the touch screen to draw the brush techniques directly thanks to mouse support rather than having to fuck with the sticks. You also don't get the input lag from emulation.

I have astigmatism and prefer dark mode.

Sure, and for home users the backwards compatibility feature only really comes up for people into retro-gaming, but a significant portion of their customer base is government agencies that haven't updated their software since the '90s. The old hardware is dying, so they need new stuff, and that means something with a new OS to run it, but it also needs to be able to run an ancient program that can only be replaced if some some seventy-something who calls every console a Nintendo can be made to understand why software older than their grandkids isn't the best thing to have, and they might need to introduce and pass a bill to get it done, not to mention budgeting to commission a company to code the replacement.

Seriously, Microsoft's absurd level of commitment to backwards compatibility is the entire reason Windows has such staying power. I had to fuck around with things to get a Linux port of a ten year old game running without issues, and it was even the Steam version, but Windows will install and run most twenty year old games right off of the original CD without the user having to do anything at all.

The fully lit portions of this map have been fully NPCd and quested. You might have enabled the preview landmass, which includes (or included, not sure if they still distribute it) a bunch of mostly mapped exteriors with partial interiors and typically no NPCs.

Yeah, a not-insignificant portion of Trump's voters are people who have been shafted by the system and are desperate for change, any change. Two out of three times, Trump was the candidate offering change. That he's destroying stuff is, to them, secondary at best because they think their lives can't get much worse anyway.

Sounds like the shit NK says about the Kims.

This kind of thing could actually be really beneficial for prosthetics. If we can make a robot that functions as close as possible to a human body at human size, then we can chunk it up to make prosthetics that work like your original limbs and are easy to adapt to.

Kanan shows the other side of what the Jedi should be, as a sort of knight errant who just does whatever needs doing and shares their wisdom with whoever will listen.

As VP, Vance would be on Air Force Two as a precaution.

If we're limited to just one, Musk. Trump's unlikely to live another ten years, and Vance doesn't have the money or popular support to be a threat without riding Trump's coattails. Both also have pretty minimal impact outside of the US. Musk has global influence, at least another thirty years ahead of him, and enough money that very little short of death or being placed in a high security prison would hurt his efforts.

My parents tried to teach me how to use a manual transmission, but I simply could not get the timing down no matter how much I practiced.

The old cars were also designed in such a way that you had to understand how the thing was constructed and functioned in order to make it work. Nowadays, I only barely understand how shifting gears works mechanically and drive an automatic. Modern cars do much of the work for you, much like modern computers.

Literally the opening scene of the movie.

Which is weird because BOTW's UI is the worst part of the game. Soooo much scrolling through item lists.
