Can you update your post and swap in the mastodon link? https://mastodon.social/@ashleygjovik/112668309100333232
X sucks.
This isn’t the only country that’s an example of this.
The increase of male births can be linked to a historical preference for sons, a decline in birth rates driven by gender selection preferences and advancements in technology, such as ultrasound, that facilitate gender selection, according to the report. The report also emphasized that the prolonged period of a skewed sex ratio at birth since the 1970s has had a significant impact on marriage rates. Regions with high marriage rate imbalances are characterized by particularly skewed sex ratios at birth during the 1980s and 1990s.
So basically a lot of people saw a vagina in the ultrasound and decided quit and restart the level.
Yeah, I wonder why they never added the option to combo new visuals and old sounds. MCC will only allow old audio with the old graphics.
That said, it’s still one of those games where I get together with my middle aged friends, and no one thinks much about the game’s in-game presentation until someone toggles the graphics, then people suddenly realize a LOT more has been updated that they realize.
IMHO, they did a better job than most at recapturing how the game felt when you played it back in the day. Not all of the creative choices were perfect, but nailed a lot of it.
IMHO, it depends on the game and the remake. The old Halo games are probably the best case study on what to do and what not to do.
Halo CE - Don’t do that. The game was old enough to warrant major texture, geometry, and animation upgrades, but the developer also completely changed the art style.
Halo 2 - Do this. It’s the old art style, but with more detail. The game looks like how you think it looked, until you toggle the old graphics on and see how it ACTUALLY looked.
Halo 3 - Do this. The game was in good enough shape to just need a few frame rate, texture, and resolution bumps. New animation and geometry wasn’t needed, and avoiding that was the right call.
But let’s go back in time 10 or 15 years. Back then people were buying stuff that was around 12 to 14% efficient. Now people are buying stuff that is 19% to 22% efficient. That’s a big ass jump in efficiency over a decade.
The tech is rolling out, it just takes time to move stuff from R&D to manufacturing at scale and at a reasonable cost.
There is often a long lead time between the breakthrough science, new industrial applications, and when you can buy something at HomeDepot. It’s always going to be that way.
Just saying that, with energy and medical scientific advancements, you’re often looking at decade long lead times before something is available for the masses. And humans famously suck at contextualizing things over long periods of time.
It’s normal to hear about R&D that a decade or more from commercialization. It often takes a long time to secure investment for consumer applications, invent new mass manufacturing processes for a new technology, etc.
Cue Lemmy comments complaining about this being RND and people can’t buy 35% efficiency panels from Costco this weekend.
They always get ya with the damn sauces.
This guy constipates
Not if you’re in the US with a 30 year fixed.
How does is comparison to Apple Beef Pro Max?
It’s like Coke’s navy, but a little sweeter.
School night?
The high end of millennials have grey hair and mortgages now.
This meme is so old that homie is rocking a G3 gum drop iMac.
What if it’s just a 20oz cup of deli mustard from the condiment bar?
