Old Androids Never Die, They Just Have A Few Screws Loose
Sooo Mue 3 will be another two months delayed?
Keep in mind this represents a little less than 1% of the total amount of time we've all waited for Ryo to come out of the cave.
Given how OTHER Kickstarters are going (HISSSSS) and my personal faith in Yu Suzuki's commitment to quality, I'd give him another year at least.
In a perfect world, we'd be able to play the two previous games on the engine for 3, and it'd all be running on a Dreamcast 6, but I'll take it. <3
It's nice having work stress to distract me from the pile of dickery last week - though it was nice getting a mail back from the California Attorney General's office.
I'm having a weirdly introspective day too, but lack any concrete way of modifying the things that are bothering me.
I'm tired of chasing ghosts.
...it's a damn shame everything went centralized again. In a perfect world, everyone would have their own website and you'd follow people's RSS feeds to get updates and reshare.
I really fucking hate Facebook.

If you've been following my saga over on the Bloodstained DB, you may have noticed that 505 doesn't feel like it needs to talk to me anymore, since they got what they wanted and don't actually care about keeping their word. Their publishing manager has publicly admitted to being a software pirate; this kind of fits in perfectly with the rest of Bloodstained, as it's looking more and more like a knock-off of a good Konami game rather than having any indie cred whatsoever.
It's a classic story of an effort that's reached critical mass; once the dollar signs start to show up, the people who only care about money start to ruin things for everyone else around them, making it obvious that they never really cared about the original goal, but only making themselves rich. Going back on promises made to the people who made them successful in the first place is just considered business-as-usual.
The worst part is when truly good people are put in a position where they have to defend the actions of the greedy. They're not the ones doing the ruining, but they have to clean up the mess afterwards, and often times cleaning up involves getting themselves very dirty in the process. Whether it is an act of love, or just a stubborn refusal to accept that the people they support are being dicks, doesn't matter that much - ultimately, the ones causing the problem are never held responsible.
Things this week:
I haven't watched WT TKD in ages, so I decide to take a look and it reminded me why I stopped. Wow, that was dirty. The right thing to do when you're down 10 points in a taekwondo match is to go for a knockout, not to stop kicking and start pushing to go for a DQ. Weak.

This looks pretty freakin' sweet.
Bumped CC2's memory up to 32GB so I can run a lot of containers on it.
Also, I'm doing my first Proton build to fix a bug in the save function for Nelke & The Legendary Alchemists. Once I test it, I'll submit it to the project.
