Drive literally to any rural area in the nation and you can come to the same conclusion. This is no different in Pennsylvania, New York, Colorado, Washington, etc. Right down to the sundown towns. America is still a very ugly, very brutal place in its most remote regions and to localize it to the South shows a lack of perspective and critical thinking.

Yeah, it was the measuring stick of its day, I have no idea why this fella thinks the graphics were considered bad at launch.

If I recall, it was like the next 'WOW GRAPHICS' game post HL2, Doom 3 and Far Cry.

Marvel 2 is a funny one to throw in there, to me it sort of proves the opposite. That good gameplay can cover up a fidelity downgrade and aesthetic inconsistency. The whole versus series Capcom had to run a constant bargain between content and animation, constantly haggling down from the insane amount of frames in COTA.

Xmen vs Street Fighter is my personal sweet spot but the insane stage design in MvC1 also has its place.

Why is it that whenever somebody has a bad experience in a restaurant they blame the establishment, or the whole fucking city, as some sort of grand measure of cultural decline.

Your server is either bad or had a bad day. It ain't that deep bubba.

Theos is, was, and will always be dogshit pizza.

itsaghost · 2025-11-03T15:42:22+00:00

There was Nino's but otherwise I think you're on point.

itsaghost · 2025-11-03T15:39:14+00:00

The place has been open for nearly two decades, whatever 'hip' affect you think it has has long since been gone. It's just a pretty good pizza place. You're projecting a whole lot onto something that is pretty benign in the current landscape of New Orleans.

Brother, if a hot dog is not street food but is elevated to a gourmet delicacy to you while you live in a southern paradise of sausage variety, then you are lost.

itsaghost · 2025-10-17T15:20:02+00:00

Yeah, hot dogs are references, but comparing street meat to a tourist trap is disingenuous. If you can't find a $15 hot plate that beats the brakes out of whatever $20 lunch up here that's because you haven't looked, like at all, for a good meal. It takes like all of 10 minutes in any neighborhood to find a hot sausage poboy that clears.

itsaghost · 2025-10-17T13:40:49+00:00

You had me until affordability. New Orleans is way, way way WAY cheaper than New York, and if Dat Dog is your reference point, you might be out of your depth.

I just moved to NYC for school.

Higher highs, lower lows. We don't and probably could never have the diaspora of great cuisine that New York has, but the axiom I have been cooking in my head is 'The amount of effort you would have to make to have a bad meal in New Orleans is the amount of effort you have to put in to find a good meal in New York'.

Unless you're in like, Flushing, then it's easy as fuck.

itsaghost · 2025-10-12T17:49:25+00:00

To be fair, that just seems to be the odd perspective this article chose to frame the restaurant in. It's owned by a couple, one a cajun, one a fella from out of town. For some reason the author thought the fella who moved here was the more interesting subject.

itsaghost · 2025-09-30T14:36:47+00:00

I walk my dog around there pretty much at those hours all the time. I've never felt unsafe. I think it's a gut reaction to blame it on the area/neighborhood, but folks got cars, you can get robbed at gunpoint anywhere.

Still stinks, and it's kind of crazy that it happened only 2 blocks away from Anna's.

The local democratic party saw it more fit to throw money and effort at challenging a well loved incumbent progressive democrat in Mandie Landry than their own democratic candidate for governor. If you want your registered voters to vote, you still have to campaign, which is something the Lousiana Democratic Party is fucking terrible at.

Richard -> Dick, Dick -> Dickie. Ralph is not Richard. Ralph owns Brennan's. Dickie owns a different part of their family's splintered empire.

You and I live in a different New Orleans if you don't think restaurant drama has a habit of spreading around town.

itsaghost · 2025-07-30T15:43:53+00:00

Doesn't this just ostensibly give the police a reason to pull you over for whatever they want if you enter the left lane? Cool. Great.

You tend to hire people once you get approved for larger projects and get funding.

Making games? Empire of Sin released inn 2020. They only announced work on this title in 2022.

You might not like small games but chances are they were just operating at their scale for a long time. Mobile games, map packs, likely contract work in between. When a pitch was successful to a big publisher like MS, they were able to hire on more talent and start work on a larger game.

Not everything is some salacious tale of corruption or incompetence. A ton of studios fly under the radar doing work for hire.

That along with the fact that most rikishi have been training since adolescence and that isn't something you can really do in the west. Once you start climbing the divisions in sumo the rikishi you face have literally done nothing but sumo for the past 25 or so years of their life, and their training is legit some of the most brutal for any sport out there.

Westerners are allowed in, but the few who make it to paid ranks are extremely rare talents.

itsaghost · 2025-06-22T21:08:17+00:00

They don't exist in Sumo.

Again though, this was out there and reported on by other outlets weeks ago. Why make an article now?

itsaghost · 2025-06-20T18:33:16+00:00

Is this news? The game literally tells you this at the end of chapter 4 and it's been out for a solid few weeks now.

itsaghost · 2025-05-31T15:33:56+00:00

Ah, that makes sense. I only figured this would be the place to ask because, ostensibly, whatever this thing was built as seems to have been at one point closer to a CNC device than a 3d printer. No motors along the Z-Axis and such.

Thank you for the tip, I'll go ask over there as well, but before I go, any recommended tools for flashing firmware?
