I’m not sure if upgrade is the right word. DBFZ is a tag team 2D fighter (think MvC2). I absolutely loved that game and got me more interested in fighting games (even though I’m trash at them)

From what I can tell, Sparking Zero! is an arena fighter that’s common for anime adaptation games (think Naruto: Ninja Storm) but is mostly known by it’s spiritual predecessors the DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi series. Not a big fan of the arena fighters since they’re mostly yearly cash grabs with rarely any depth but to each their own.

Essentially it’s a bit unfair to compare because they’re aimed at slightly different audiences. OG DBZ fans have been waiting for a Budokai Tenkaichi “4” and this is it.

I disagree with the implication that users should “settle down” when faced with user-unfriendly experiences.

User silence is often taken as permission to continue shitty practices that build up overtime. Bloated games that are unoptimized, online subscription to play online, not even fully owning the games, not able to use your own bluetooth headset etc.

This tweet just perpetuates how consumer-hostile nature of these companies. It attempts to play down a potential revenue stream at the expense of UX, subtle gaslight users into thinking this is part of the “over-reactionary culture” when this a perfectly valid criticism, and makes no attempt to be sympathetic about these implications.

Honestly, this has made me swore off a PS5 and future sony consoles. It’s no longer affordable, convenient, or simply. I do love my DS4 controller tho.

Personally a fan of the TF2 and TF|2 distinction.

@ 5:22 Most in the community will know it refers to the title card and it’s simply breathtaking in everyone’s first playthrough

they made two posts complaining about essentially meme quality assurance - wish I had that much time.

lowkey how I feel when I see AI/upscaled 60fps from 24 fps animation.

honestly not trying to be a shill but there was a brief period that caught a glimpse of a post-piracy world where there were very little streaming services that had all the content you could want. It moved me away from piracy because of the convenience, library, and being able to share with friends and family.

Ideally a post-piracy world would have the options for uncensored/original versions of content, the ability to buy and store said content locally and own in perpetuity, with a price point for access to a vast library from a very small number of services. As many have said, the way to combat “piracy” is to offer a service better than piracy itself.

I just presumed you turn on “shower thoughts” mode after you’ve done a thorough clean.

Though this is similar to what some Japanese households do where they do a thorough wash and shower, removing any dirt and sweat, and soak in a bathtub to relax afterwards.

Great thread - might make my icons a little smaller but I have a big phone (for my hand) so I tried to balance minimalist with color-immediacy

Formally, this is an example of positive punishment where the addition of a stimulus decreases the likelihood of the target behavior occuring again.

Negative reinforcement refers to subtracting/removing a stimulus to increase the likelihood of a target behavior (think reducing a prison sentence for good behavior).

I can relate to the “how the fuck is being a concerned human being extreme/poltical?” energy in the post hard.
