I kind of miss the ol slugdogs. At least back then no one was trying to tell us it was coming for our jobs.

It's a novelty. Hardware hackers have been making smaller and more portable Wiis for years, finding more parts of the motherboard they can cut off, ways to rearrange mobo parts and reconnect them without impacting functionality, discrete parts they can replace with more modern smaller equivalents, etc.

This represents the smallest they've been able to cut down Wii hardware, still have it be functional, and still have the core be the original hardware, not a general use CPU with an emulation solution running over top. It's not a commercial product meant to compete with emulators on existing portable devices like phones and SBCs.

Does anyone really go back and play the older ones after the latest installment comes out?

Personally I just stick with whatever latest one I picked up.

I just don't see it as the kind of series where "keeping up" by playing through the old ones matters.

Sidestepped that completely. Got 64GB when I built my desktop because RAM prices were low.

20GB used up by whatever other shit I have open? No problem, still enough left for whatever I'm actively working on.

Suffice to say this has not actually helped with the issue.

I've been through the hellscape where managers used missed metrics as evidence for why we didn't need increased headcount on an internal IT helpdesk.

That sort of fuckery is common when management gets the idea in their head that they can save money on people somehow without sacrificing output/quality.

I'm pretty certain they were trying to find an excuse to outsource us, as this was long before the LLM bubble we're in now.

I kind of love that Kanye had that breakdown where he released the Heil Hitler track and went to twitter posting all caps shit saying he was a nazi, and the internet's collective reaction seems to have just kind of rolled their eyes and move on. Just pure apathy. It's not shocking or contreversial, more "Yeah, we all figured that out ages ago. Fuck off."

If it helps it make any more sense, from other posts of this comic on lemmy, the original posts seem to be on pixiv, which is on paper a site for hosting art, but in reality seems to exist primarily to host a lot of hentai. Mostly hentai.

I've also noticed a small trend lately where adult artists fish for comissions by making strangely horny webcomics.

It's hidden in the middle of the description, but this is DoomRL after being told they had to stop using the Doom IP as a fangame. Same person behind it, and my understanding is that it's even built off the same codebase (just updated a hell of a lot over the years). So less a "spiritual successor" and more a rebranding.

Which is awesome if you like DoomRL.

This is shockingly "public" considering there's legal proceedings now.

In another article or trailer it was explicitly stated that they worked with the community mod makers to package in all the "must have" texture and model mods. So it should look like what you previously could mod it into, lol.

I hope it does better than the last try.

In most public places in the US it is technically illegal to be publicly intoxicated. It's incredibly rare that anyone would do anything about it unless you're being a public nuisance or something though.
