There are new sticks, which are appreciated, but are there new beats?

Where is the relatable part where you don't unpack one box for two years, even though it's marked "essentials"?

Quoting: Solitary

Quoting: Nezchan

Quoting: LinasI'd rather judge a man by his work, than some inconsiderate thing he may have said years ago. Cancel culture ruins lives.

CALLED IT!

Don't be arrogant.

You're just jealous. :tongue:

I've been rolling around a very similar idea (with a different background story) for some time now. I guess it was only a matter of time before someone did it.

Ah, yes. I remembered that he was unpopular among modders, but I couldn't remember why.

Cue half a dozen people defending him on the basis he shouldn't be cancelled for his opinions.

Quoting: GuestMeh, I dont' see the issue frankly. If the char doesn't want to be in the wheel chair, that's the char's choice. it doesn't represent all people in a wheel chair.

I read a few of their replies to folks with similar responses to yours, and a big part of the issue was regret that they (and, presumably, you) didn't actually consult any wheelchair users while writing to see what they thought of it, a failure in due diligence. Something of particular importance in a game all about empathy and understanding others' perspectives. And when called out, they understood that they should have done so and are in the process of working it out.

I can identify with not seeing the issue, I didn't either until it was brought up. But that's exactly the point, isn't it?

Huh. I did notice that bit of dialogue, but thought they did a pretty good job of communicating that it wasn't wheelchairs in general that were bad, but the character's resentment at how they were seen by others due to the device. But then, I'm able-bodied and thus don't have the experience to really comprehend the point of view.

Good on them for taking this as an opportunity to improve their craft rather than get defensive about it. The writing overall is top-notch (and that particular character is among my favourites) even if I did find the ending unsatisfying.

Bah.

Just tried out Ludo and it's just as difficult to get games into your library as Retroarch. And, in fact, some of the games that it does pick up in a scan don't actually work.

I'll stick with Mednafen I guess. Not as fancy, but a hell of a lot easier to use and more reliable.

Very interested in this. I find Retroarch terribly awkward to set up and use, so hopefully Ludo will be quite a bit more intuitive.
