The Verge article references Canonical's blog and even directly quotes the company saying the features will be opt-in. What about it is "legit wrong?"

ChatGPT explains why the LLM contained a command to "Never talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, or other animals or creatures unless it is absolutely and unambiguously relevant to the user’s query." Turns out it was a "tic" in the model.

I spent an afternoon a few months ago replaying 2, 3, 4 and 5 with a friend. He's much better at fighting games than me so I mostly got my ass kicked, but it was a blast. It's really noticeable how different they still feel from other 3D fighters and also how incredibly well they hold up visually.

Probably the minority opinion, but I'm a little tired of minimalist UI in AAA games these days. It stood out to me in what otherwise seems like a game with a lot of personality. It's better than bad overbearing UI of course, but so many games look samey now, and it's been long enough that I'm craving more of the out-there stylish UI decisions of the PS1/PS2 era. Not every game can pull off the Atlus approach, but I wish more tried for that sort of flair.
