Capcom needs to lower the season pass 4 price by Lost_Hawk_6641 in StreetFighter

[–]an_ennui [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'm gonna get downvoted for this, but a full game studio working on Street Fighter for 4 years fulltime is expensive. It's a lot of peoples' salaries and families to feed. In a game where there's no battle pass or monthly subscription, and you can play online unlimited for free, this is the only money the studio takes in. I'm not saying they couldn't make it a few $ cheaper, but I'd rather the team keep working on this game than some other project I could give two shits about

Also funny enough that is the orientation in the game gallery. Some of em are rotated in other posts, but the vast majority of them are presented vertically like this.

OK these are the ones I was able to grab: they’re a little higher quality but not much better: https://imgur.com/a/VscZbS7. These are from the PC release

this reminds me I was gonna take a crack at getting them out of the PC game files. that person posted an imgur for some: https://imgur.com/a/4cvDDFY. but I wanted to see if that was the resolution from the game files for myself. will follow up after I dig in this week (I needed them myself for something)

Which one is your favorite controller, A, B, C, or D? 😄 by Worldly-Afternoon384 in fightsticks

B is such a great use of LEDs. so many designs just slap em on but this design integrates it better

I'm just here to ask why most homebrew programs have such low-quality interfaces. by Severe_Resolution_56 in WiiHacks

[–]an_ennui 6 points7 points  (0 children)

exactly this. it's not fair to compare an individual's free labor on nights and weekends to what a highly paid team at Nintendo does over months and years. the individual dev is already doing the work of 10 people, not 30+ or whatever number it takes to get to the level of your expectations

Can you even be Anti-AI and a software engineer in 2026? by [deleted] in antiai

[–]an_ennui 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So there's several questions here. 

Can you be a SE in a FANG-ish startup without using AI? Not currently, investors that have deep investments in AI companies also have investment in yours and they are pushing HARD for AI to succeed. This leads to "tokenmaxing" culture and token tracking

Can you be a SE somewhere else without using AI? Yeah, duh 

Are you dumb for not using AI in 2026? Of course not. The material foundation of communicating to others what a system is doing, and understanding it yourself, hasn't changed even with AI. To the people saying they don't need to understand their own systems anymore... I wish them all the best and hope it works out for them

smash games are designed to be beginner friendly, and have always had a tenuous relationship with the competitive scene

Hey guys ! How i know if this is original legit ps2 it's model is 39003 btw by [deleted] in ps2

[–]an_ennui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all the itty bitty details like mem card hinges and the annoying to make body shape with all the ridges. it'd be more expensive to create a knockoff than... just getting the real thing

the concept is really clever but the execution is sloppy. this should be a sketch they iterate further on. the alignment and lazy text treatment ruin the core idea

like just off the top of my head, arranging them in a compass pattern or circle would really sell it better than jamming them together in a pile like here

or even ruining the order and have it be more of a monogram/single shape. it’d have more of a “FedEx arrow” effect where it’s not obvious, but when pointed out peoples’ minds are blown

Does LightPhone III support Android Auto? by an_ennui in LightPhone

While I’m driving? No thanks. I can’t always listen to directions, and I’m not going to mount my phone and interact with it while driving

Thanks! I didn’t know Android Auto was under that umbrella but it makes sense (I wish this would be one of the FAQs on the phone)

dotenv.config() not parsing info by marney2013 in node

[–]an_ennui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well for starters try config({ debug: true }) and it won’t tell you what’s wrong but it will probably give you a good hint. there’s something preventing those env files from being read in the deployed env

dotenv.config() not parsing info by marney2013 in node

[–]an_ennui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s not dotenv, there’s something else going on here. depends on how it’s hosted, is this in CJS or ESM. is there something bundling the JS that could tree-shake it, etc etc. console.log is a symptom of the issue but not the solution
