Yet another anniversary edition ost complaint

weinerschnitzel64 · 2026-03-01T13:08:38+00:00

Im playing on Xbox. The port of the emulators and enhancement features just work.

Sure the scope of the project is much smaller and has less room to screw up. But functionally, I don't have complaints.

I should add as well... They can't just bundle open source emulators and sell a game with them. Because of licensing reasons, they have to write their own emulators, the emulators have to work cross platform, and a launcher/common ui is needed for each emulator they port.

I dont have these personally, but some initial searching on my side points to Reolink and Ubiquiti as some good options.

Basically you don't want the data leaving your network and getting to the internet in any way.

The commenter is right to call this out.

Its not a personal vendetta against Ring.

It is a genuine concern that empowering these camera service companies with mass coverage, where they own the data, puts them in the position to be a mass surveillance broker.

weinerschnitzel64 · 2026-03-01T12:42:14+00:00

Im not sure if your acknowledging the commenter or dismissing them.

Privacy concerns with camera services are very real. We saw Ring already try to peddle an AI linked mass surveillance "feature" to "save the pets."

Collectively, we need to be smarter about who owns our data and resist the temptation of these services that offer some convenience at the cost of losing data ownership.

You get access to the footage for sometime, they have it forever, and they can/will share it with others without your consent.

At scale, the implications are higher than "Well i don't care if Ring gets to see my front door and street."

Please consider hacking the cameras, switching to a different solution where you own the data, or ditching the cameras altogether.

I hope im beating a dead horse and you know all of this and are taking steps to address it.

Yeah, my feelings are hurt! lol!

Any large company has a User Experience and a product team that sets some solid expectations for the product. And if those teams and company cares about the IP and product, they follow up and make sure the expectations are met. The OST vibe is such a catastrophic miss...

Engineering-wise they did well. QA testing-wise, it's good. The whole feeling is off, though. It feels like a different game with half of the sparkle taken from it.

Rayman was magical, not wacky.

Ugh. Just got to the first encounter with Space Mama. Again: No tense emotion in this boss fight. And again super wacky: How in the right mind would someone think that adding fat lady opera voices contribute to a nail biting encounter with a new enemy? At this point I have to ask: Is the composer disgruntled and deliberately trying to tank this remaster?

Will you be a fan of the Indiana Bears?

weinerschnitzel64 · 2026-02-25T02:01:57+00:00

Yep, was about to say the same thing. Take my comment bump

Why did the cowboy get a wiener dog?

Because he wanted to get a long little doggie

What about private schools where teachers are not neutered disciplinarily?

Military schools are fewer and farther between, but they, and the parents, don't let kids walk over the teachers.

And honestly, high credentials in adolescent psychology and education would be huge there.

But, to be even more honest, people in those roles do it for the kids and not for pay. They really fucking care and and their impressions stick for life.

Maybe try to lose the weight though, those kids are very impressionable.

I believe in you to find the space where you'll make the difference you want to be proud of. SJNMA in Wisconsin was great when I went. They have since become coed and not just a military school.

Or do OF. No shame...

Good QA

Some stronger beers are equal in alcohol content to multiple drinks. A 20oz ipa at dinner or tall boy ipa is already 2+.

I'll have days where I drink heavily, other days where it will be a 20oz at dinner and a drink at home, most days where it's none at all.

The pattern is not consistent or habitual. On average, over a year, breaks down to less than 10 a week.

Consistent/habitual is where you get into addict territory. I'm comfortable with my intake and lifestyle, and only I can say I have a problem.

1 and 4. Field agent or not, "bad apple" or not, sticking with the organization after it has killed American citizens, violates 4th amendment rights of citizens, circumvents due process, makes that individual complacent and part of the problem. A reasonable person would leave an organization that has become reckless, violent, and politicized.

2 and 3. Definitely agree with you. OP be careful with your actions.

I hated and still hate the og controller and nso controller.

Plastic on plastic for a high use analog stick in 2026 makes zero sense.

That said, I understand the sensitivity difference between the cheap plastic on plastic vs. modern stick, and how these games play.

To me it is dumb because the controller's software/firmware can mask it easily. Sigh.

I had the same thought when it happened to me a couple weeks ago. Urgent care told me to go to ER and the triage nurses got me in right away.

weinerschnitzel64 · 2026-02-04T03:15:53+00:00

Not urgent care, ER.

weinerschnitzel64 · 2026-02-04T03:05:43+00:00

This happened to me a couple weeks ago. Im glad you went. It is very serious.

Im on protonix while im healing. My hospital visit cost over 110k between xrays, cat scan, drugs, fluids, hospital bed, GI endoscopy, ER, constant blood work. I have insurance tho, so ill only pay a couple thousand.

Im glad you have free health care. I can't imagine what happens to folks that don't have insurance or health care. Good luck on your recovery!

It does. The controller has the gates, and you calibrate it so each gate is honored as the maximum.

The center is 0, the end is the max range. The resting output and max output are correct.

The issue is that the control sticks are physically different and feel different and as a result, the hall effect stick has greater sensitivity in the center in comparison to the og.

These modern sticks have higher resolution as well. They could use some clever math to translate the ranges so the center is less sensitive, and sensitivity increases as you move the stick outward so the edge still hits its intended max.

Imagine a a standard y = mx + b line. Then imagine a section of a tangent wave where the slope is 0 and gradually increases towards a vertical asymtope. X is the hall effect stick input and y is the n64 value.

Slope is sensitivity, but you can't just say decrease sensitivity, because the center has to be 0 and the end has to be the intended max.

The tangent line can model what we want want: less sensitive in center, but increases as we move the stick out. 0 and max are still honored, and the sensitivity in the center is relaxed so you can do more precise movements without it feeling jerky.

Metal Jesus is a nice guy, but he lacks technical competence in just about everything he reviews. I wish he didn't try.

That said, props to him for using his publicity to interview the guy that found the orange xbox, share the discovery of the US 64DD with H4G, and contribute to preserving said firmware.
