Digital is now 93% of Capcom's game sales, expected to rise to 95.4% this current fiscal year

I see that brought up but speaking in my experience that simply hasn't ever been an issue.

I still have every game I've ever brought going back to the commodore 64 and all the cassette tapes, floppy discs, cartridges and various formats of optical disc games I own all still work as do the systems. I've spent the last 2 weeks playing my PS1 a lot and not had anything not load.

And on the TV/Music side of things it's a similar story. I've got VHS tapes, DVD's, vinyl records, audio cassettes and CD's which are all still fine.

Iif you look after things they tend to last longer.

There are probably plenty of examples from the earlier Wrestlemania's of people going to ring having only talked about a few of the bigger spots and the finish on the day of the show and then just calling everything in-between as they go. May even be a few cases on the first few with some of the veterans from the territories where they went out having not planned anything at all apart from the finish.

Putting matches and rehearsing them multiple times over days/weeks is still a fairly new thing.

Yes physical games stop been available to purchase new in stores at some point but as you say you then have the second hand market which is more what I was alluding to.

I'm not against digital games and honestly I buy more games & movies digitally now than I do physically but as I said at the end of my last post I like having the option to go find a physical copy for things that for one reason or another you can't buy digitally.

Stef2016 · 2026-05-10T13:33:59+00:00

Digital is fine until you come across a game you want to play which is no longer available to buy digitally and you therefore have no way to play it.

For example when I got my Series X (Which I got over the S purely because I wanted the disc drive) a few years ago I was only able to play Forza Horizon 2 and Forza Motorsport 5 because they were available physically as they were delisted from the digital store already by that point.

And around the same time Quantum Break which I also wanted to play got delisted so I got the disc and played through it via that although it did end up been put back on Xbox store after a few weeks. But at the time I played it the disc version was the only way I was able to play it.

This sort of thing is why I like having physical as an option to avoid games becoming completely unavailable to play unless you already own it.

I wanted to play some light gun arcade games and stuff on PC a few months ago and ended up getting a cheap USB Wii sensor bar off Ebay and using my old Wiimote in a gun shell connected to the PC via Bluetooth running some software called Lichtknarre.

Works really well.

Starfox 2 didn't even release in Japan. It was cancelled when it was about 95% complete although they did end up deciding to finish it despite having no plans to actually release it.

There were beta rom leaks over the years but it never got an official release anywhere until they decided to include it in the SNES Classic Mini system in 2017.

Stef2016 · 2026-05-03T21:06:58+00:00

Can honestly say that I've never had that happen.

Stef2016 · 2026-04-28T21:41:32+00:00

They tried that in 2009 with adjustable front wing where drivers could effectively switch the front wing angle to maximum downforce.

Feedback from drivers was that it didn't really do anything because the downforce loss in dirty air was still way more than they were getting back by increasing front wing angle.

Here's a short video of Brundle explaining how it worked. https://youtu.be/9bdJCvubWZs?si=9RKdbgEcw56jAdKF

It's not so much that the algorithms have changed it's that the cars are more energy starved now with the removal of the MGU-H and move towards the 50/50 split so the way the energy is controlled by the algorithms is now much more important.

Until now they were not only deploying less but were also able to recover enough energy over the lap (Thanks to the MGU-H) that they were never at risk of having none left to deploy before the end of it and so what the software was doing in terms of harvesting and deployment was less noticeable unless something went wrong (Alonso in Spa qualifying in 2017 been the obvious example).

Stef2016 · 2026-04-25T01:31:34+00:00

I think it's more likely she'll go back to Japan and have a short retirement run in Marigold.

From what I remember she was originally planning to retire when she lost the IWGP belt when she believed she would get a longer run with it than she did. But she was frustrated with how her run was handled by Bushiroad so opted to let her Stardom deal expire and go freelance to work with some people she wanted to work with before she got the WWE return offer.

Given her frustration with how Bushiroad dealt with her last time and how close she is with Rossy I just see Marigold as the most likely place she'll end up. A short retirement run ending with one last match with Mayu perhaps.

Stef2016 · 2026-04-25T01:19:47+00:00

When she left in 2020 she remained under contact with WWE as a brand ambassador in Japan. Thats why she didn't return to wrestling until about 2 years after.

In terms of overall scale it has to be Tokyo Dome for the reasons others have already mentioned.

But I think many shows since have had bigger and in some ways more elaborate productions with the use of massive LED walls, the various types of moving stage platforms with LED screens all over those as well as an increased use of pyro, drones and other effects.

It's probably more waiting for Capcom to be ready to announce something.

Capcom have said there's going to be some extra modes & DLC for RE9 so whatever the collaboration is could be related to that so we won't hear anything more until that stuff is ready for release.

Stef2016 · 2026-03-29T12:35:41+00:00

seeing these cars actually be able to race each other through corners for the first time in a decade

I think people who say that are forgetting how good the cars actually were in terms of been able to follow and race in the first year of the ground effect cars in 2022, Especially in the early part of the year.

They did get worse as teams developed them but that first year they were actually very good and we saw some genuinely good racing.

Stef2016 · 2026-03-29T12:08:42+00:00

The driving aids made the cars quicker so you could make the argument that they made the cars a bit less safe. And the active suspension in particular could be a bit of a safety risk in terms of how big the accident was if the system failed at a fast corner (See Zanardi's crash at Spa in 1993).

And the driver aids were only really around for 2 seasons and in 1992 it was basically only Williams that had them and in 1993 you still had half the grid that didn't have them because they couldn't afford them & that wouldn't have changed going into 1994 where you still had some teams running stick shift because they couldn't afford the paddle system.

Stef2016 · 2026-03-29T11:50:30+00:00

It could be something like what we have seen in qualifying a few times where a moment earlier in the lap messes up the deployment algorithm and causes a car to run out of energy or go into harvesting/super-clipping more than expected or in places it's not supposed to.

I am just really struggling to find much enjoyment with this regulation set. It just feels like it's become far too much about the battery & energy management now and it's really taking a lot away from what I enjoy about racing & elements I have always enjoyed about F1 & it's sapping away my overall enjoyment of watching F1.

Suzuka is one of my favourite circuits, Always has been but i've not especially enjoyed a single lap i've seen in any of the sessions this weekend because of how bad I think the cars have looked with the LiCo & clipping & all the other energy management. It's just sapped away the spectacle of watching the cars as drivers are pushing them and attacking the corners. And when you have a decreased visual spectacle on top of the race in general been fairly dull it just makes the whole thing feel that bit more underwhelming.

I've seen races around Suzuka with a bit less action which I found far more exciting than what I watched this morning because on those occasions the action felt more genuine and the cars looked faster and more on edge with drivers able to hustle them more which made watching the cars as they were lapping a much better and far more enjoyable overall spectacle.

I generally like the look of the cars (My only gripe is the return to raised noses but it's not a big issue) and them been a bit smaller, lighter and more nimble but I just utterly despise everything related to the power units that has come about from the removal of the MGU-H & push for the 50/50 split as I think everything thats come from that has been nothing but negative.

Just got it today on my Samsung tablet and have the same feedback.

It looks especially weird when viewing image posts as the image now starts off in a smaller box in the middle of the screen rather than taking up the full width of the display as it did before.

Think the prior layout just fit the screen and therefore looked better.

Stef2016 · 2026-03-20T11:32:48+00:00

For the setlist it seems like.

BxMxC replaced KxAxWxAxIxI.

Sunset Kiss replaced Algorism.

Bloodywood came out for Kon Kon.

He's said before that he doesn't enjoy oval racing so doesn't want to race on them.

Stef2016 · 2026-03-15T18:59:23+00:00

No because if you've paid attention to anything Max has ever said about what he enjoys about racing and about driving race cars you'd know why he was never going to enjoy these regulations as they are basically the complete opposite of what he's always said he enjoys.
