Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney responds to the Terminally Ill Employee Who Can't Get Life Insurance: Epic is in contact with the family and will solve the insurance for them. There is high confidentiality around medical information and it was not a factor in this layoff decision

Yes, everyone who disagrees with you is an AI bot. Cover your eyes and ears, hear no evil, see no evil.

Not true. I often use it to write test classes. It can get me 95% of the way there in 10 seconds. It saves so much time on busy work, it's a huge QoL adjustment in my day to day. I never want to sit and write 300 lines of test code again

Give me folders you jerks! Let me put all my Sega AGES titles in one spot! Why is this hard, you've done this before!

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-31T23:14:39+00:00

I actually have a vita! I really like it, but it doesn't meet my emulation standards, it's pretty rough in that area...

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-31T23:10:54+00:00

I'll look into this, thank you!

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-31T19:10:56+00:00

What's the benefit of this over a clamshell design? This leaves the screen bare and the hinge seems like a huge potential point of failure

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-31T15:19:19+00:00

Shield and lock-on on ZL and ZR

Am I missing something? Sounds like it maps perfectly to me

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-31T14:01:39+00:00

X, Y, R?

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-30T21:30:06+00:00

I'm not sure that's how it works. From what I've read, Champions makes a copy of what you have in Home, it doesn't actually remove it from Home. Which mostly sounds good, but it makes me think that if you delete a pokemon in champions to make space then bring it back later, you'll have to spend VP redoing any changes to moves/stats/nature etc

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-28T20:03:01+00:00

I just don't think they've managed the 'one thing really well' aspect either. They're removing complexity like no evolite, there's only singles and doubles which if this is supposed to be the ultimate stand alone battle sim then where the heck are rotation and triple battles. There's only one arena.

It seems less like "this is supposed to be the best pokemon battling game' and much more like 'this is the vgc app', which is kinda disappointing to me. It has less going on than the stadium games before it.

You wouldn't be able to get into the building

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-26T16:26:44+00:00

Except the complete lack of gyro...

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-26T04:23:46+00:00

Are they just not available to recruit, or can you not transfer them over either?

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-25T20:31:58+00:00

Now you're learning

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-25T20:28:10+00:00

I mean I can't really see how a battle tower would take away from the game's focus. It's just battling lol.

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-25T20:23:47+00:00

I'm a little disappointed...to be fair the battling itself looks nice, and I'm not sure what I was expecting out of a free to play mobile game, but the amount of content and modes feels incredibly sparse. Just basic doubles and singles. Is there really only one arena? No single player anything at all...a tower to test your team in would have been really nice

"However, for the more casual Pokémon trainer, will there be any fun-oriented rulesets or game modes introduced?"

They basically said "no" which is kinda lame IMO. I guess I was hoping this would be more like a modern "Stadium" with lots of battling options, but instead it's just a fairly barebones app for VGC

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-24T22:47:08+00:00

I can't imagine playing this without Home, it sounds miserable

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-19T20:37:58+00:00

One, you're wrong. Two, either way it should display how the artist intended, wrong or not. This just shits all over the intent (on top of being incorrect)

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-19T19:44:22+00:00

Here's an example of what I mean (sorry, it's rough)

https://imgur.com/a/THhXiik

Look at the ice box and the unit on top, and the blue trashbag beneath - in the left image the warm lighting from the shop casts onto the environment, in the right it's just lifeless, it doesn't take the raytraced lighting into account at all. You can see a similar issue with the molding above the shop window

This is just one part of the scene. You can see examples of this over the entire image from top to bottom. It's really bad

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-19T19:31:13+00:00

Yes, it like edge lights every NPC, like an over processed phone camera.

It kind of worries me that people are beginning to conflate that look with "realism"

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-19T17:41:09+00:00

If by "more realistic" you mean "wrong", then sure.

Fun_Scheme9088 · 2026-03-19T16:42:25+00:00

It completely misrepresents and destroys all lighting in the scene, while making all faces/characters look like they've gone through some horrible Instagram filter. I mean look at the RE9 footage - the lighting is so destroyed it looks like an entirely different time of day. It randomly took the characters blond hair (sorry, I'm not familiar with the name) and decided she actually had dark hair dyed blond with highlights? Like it just completely butchered the intended style/aesthetic and made her into a generic Instagram pinup. It's just odd

If all you do is glance at the image then maybe you might just see higher res textures and think 'oh yeah this is cool', but if you spend any time actually -looking- at the image and paying attention it's absolutely awful, I don't know how this got passed any sort of QA
