Heck, any new Shinobi game would be cool, whether brand new or old one remastered. I don’t really recall Sega doing much with Shinobi in 3D, and it’s been a long time since the ones on the GameCube/PS2 generation came out (which are the last ones I can think of). Heck, the latest Ninja Gaiden was 10 years ago or more. Either of those franchises could really use another entry. Ninja Gaiden would also be another good ninja-based franchise for a movie.

Impressive. They actually managed to make a product that makes AAA Clock on the Switch eShop look like a good deal.

Seriously though, cut the price in half and I’d MAYBE consider this as something of a Nintendo related novelty/“luxury” if I had the cash to burn. You can’t ever convince me (or most people) to pay $100 for a friggin’ alarm clock though.

I’m sure we remember not too long ago when rather than go with what the sponsors, advertisers, etc wanted and rein that shit in, they loosened the rules and Twitch essentially became a straight up porn site for two days. And it was already bad before then. It’s probably only the plausible deniability preventing them from going back to loosening the rules and raking in the camgirl money. Disappointing but absolutely not surprising that Twitch would probably make more money from that than from the ads, sponsorships and so on they get now.

I’d also put a lot of that on KOC not being able to properly adjust a game plan that likely relied heavily on Jones once he went down. I’d bet it left Darnold needing to improvise a lot with more pressure coming at him and more coverage on the receivers from the Jets knowing he was going to be passing more, leading to a lot of mistakes on forced passes to Jefferson.

IIRC Mozilla doubled down on their v2 support when Chrome announced the shift to v3. But then the Chrome monopoly judgment came down and with it a lot of speculation on Google dropping their funding of Mozilla, so maybe Mozilla could be changing its tune to either protect or find a replacement for that funding? Nothing of substance is happening yet, it’s still all speculation, but I do hope nothing like that does happen.

A great privacy focused client for YouTube is FreeTube. Uses a native API or Invidious for playback, and you can download and share videos from it. Doesn’t give any identifying info to Google/YouTube and I’ve never once dealt with an ad. For mobile, Grayjay and NewPipe are similar apps.

I’ve already played a fan translation of Investigations 2, but I’ll probably pick it up when I buy Emio the Smiling Man, if only to play the actual official translation and see how it was intended by Capcom.

Seems to be another Baker Mayfield/Sam Darnold situation where he may not have been the real problem with his lack of success in Chicago, and/or just needed a different team structure or coaching situation to meet his real potential. QBs rarely really thrive in Chicago partly because the Bears are rarely built like a team focused on QBs in general. As long as I’ve watched them, the Bears’ identity has been a strong defense and running the ball on offense, the passing game is an afterthought. Watching Caleb getting thrown out there in that environment is watching the Bears try to fit a square peg in a round hole, same as it was when they had Fields. They made at least something of an effort this time by also drafting his WR teammate, but that’s not likely to be enough on its own for Caleb to shine there. He needs more help, and only time will tell if Chicago will provide it for him, but it will likely mean an entire change in team philosophy to do so.

That said, they’re not likely to license an already made AI for their projects either, which is also nice.

Falkon is better for privacy than stock Chrome or Firefox, but I still find Brave or LibreWolf better than that.
