Gearbox bought the franchise from its original devs about a year ago, and this is one of their attempts to capitalize on that purchase.

Dunno if this is exactly the kind of thing you have in mind, but a person known as 'Yuvi' has been singlehandedly maintaining publicly available servers for the original Demon's Souls for about 4 years (the official servers shut down about 5 years ago).

Thanks to Yuvi, you can still play the original game with all online functionality, regardless of whether you're playing on PS3 or RPCS3.

All the From Software RPGs since Demon's Souls work like that too. (Not the lack of menu, but the lack of an interactive save system because it's just constantly autosaving).

It's incredibly convenient to always be able to quit the game at any time and know you'll be in the exact place and position you were when you start up again. And it has the added benefit of preventing players from save scumming.

I want an AI based translation of all the Dead Sea Scrolls as long as we can remove the bias from the training data.

Emphasis mine. So then you don't want an AI based translation of all the Dead Sea Scrolls?

Presumably he meant 'hanged.' But Freudian slip gonna Freudian slap.

If we're thinking of the same clip, you're slightly misremembering it. The woman was insisting Obama was a Muslim, and that's what McCain was shutting down. But yes, the crowd booed him for clarifying that.

Best Android app for emulating DS in my experience is DraStic.

Expression looks like Kirk doesn't want any damn vegetables.

e.g. means 'for example.' I think you were looking for i.e. (which means 'in other words' or 'to be specific').

I don't think a play on the saying 'what doesn't kill me makes me stronger' is a retro music reference.

I mean, PIA is like 40 bucks for an entire year. You're not gonna find any prominent streaming service, pro-grade subscription software, or pro-grade software license that's as cheap as that.

If the goal is to access all desired software and media safely while paying as little as possible, it's a great choice.

Other than in terms of physical hardware innovations, Nintendo hasn't been anywhere near the cutting edge of computational power since the mid-90s... Or maybe never.
