Yeah it’s a great extension chip. There’s a romhack that lets you control your jump arcs, makes it a bit easier.

Yeah the soundtrack is good. But imo those hacks aren’t enough to save it. I liked CV 3 though.

Even with a fixed translation, I would not say II was an excellent game.

Iga was not the creator of castlevania. He was the creator of SotN and later games.

Trevor name dropped, but protagonist looks like Sonya – am confused! Given the timeline, I think Trevor must be the old guy and the protagonist is someone else. Perhaps the child of Trevor and Sypha.

Excited for a new castlevania game, but skeptical of these developers. I didn’t like Dead Cells. I hope either that it’s not a roguelike, or that they’ve improved on their formula and fixed the problems with dead cells like pool dilution.

Video games

Parental Controls being hard/impossible to configure is something that needs to be resolved, lest we continue to get people advocating for website-side age-verification.

The Sims was a great game. And it had same-sex marriage from the sims 2 on (which is the first game that actually has a proper notion of marriage).

can you give some examples of things that would count as world news to you? I would think world news is stuff that affects everyone throughout the world. U.S. politics affects everyone quite a bit.

right but what about the other stuff i said

A long-term losing strategy, yet short term it normally reliably drums up support in the kind of range that can tip an election. Quite eye-opening to me that an election can still be won with far-from-center politics.

After all, NYC is not part of the world.

Oddly enough, the NYPD have offices internationally, in Qarar, Israel, Colombia, Germany, and numerous other countries. Also, the New York health department is the one that cracked open the case on lead contamination in turmeric farming in Bangladesh. It’s probably one of the most international cities, for whatever that means.
