I truly believe there were only 2 factors that mattered in its death. First and foremost was the massive amount of debt the failure of the Saturn had left Sega already trying to recover from. If they hadn’t had that to worry about it would have been financially successful as it stood.

The second factor was more insidious. Sony did such a good job hyping up the PS2 that people really believed it would be way more powerful than the DC. Yet the DC could produce better graphics than the PS2 at launch. But that’s not what the public perception was. I worked at Electronic’s Boutique during the PS2’s launch, and no matter how much I tried it was impossible to diffuse the hype around it when I would try to convince people there was no need to wait and they should get a Dreamcast today rather than waiting for the PS2. But it was a lost cause most of the time. And ultimately those people are better off with how things eventually played out

You could also make your Chao fight each other, kinda like a Pokemon battle. Required two VMUs hooked together

I used to have Chao fights with my friend at lunch in high school. The VMUs totally worked

WTF? I thought they came to a cease fire recently 😞

Or better, seize all his peoperty and money

Of course it’s going to backfire. China will just make their own chips and probably outpace everyone at some point. They’re starting out behind, but they will catch up

Thank you. I have no interest in joining random discords for this kind of info

Devs use it in the software industry to describe the people who work excess hours and weekends to try and impress somebody, when it was unnecessary. And all it does is make normal people look bad for just doing a reasonably regular amount of work. If you’re going above and beyond all the time, that’s no longer going above and beyond, you’ve just pushed out the goal post for what is normal

“human resources”, it dehumanizes the people it manages, comparing them to goods and things, rather than thinking of them as actual people with needs and their own desrires. But nope, they’re just a resource for you to exploit

Please keep the paged view as an option though. Helps me keep up with where I was

Of all the new test UIs, I’ve enjoyed this one the most so far

This, 100%. I fear malevolent humans welding AI much more than it going rogue on its own.

And aren’t they inverted in Zoroastrianism? All the good guys are evil, and vice versa

I think another issue here is a side effect of the move to Software As A Service. With installed software you could run an old version nearly forever, but with SASS you’re always on the latest version

Mine gives me a +50 buff against solar rays

“The Customer is Always Right” originally referred to the pricing of an item. Meaning if the customer thinks it’s a good price, then you’ve picked a good price. That’s it. It was never meant to be used as an excuse to bend over backwards to your customer’s every whim
