@yhdistyminen If Square does a Chrono Trigger Remake, I hope Team Asano gets to develop. After the DQ trilogy I am confident the team could make an impactful remake
English
The simple graphics of a classic RPG add a layer of abstraction. You're meant to intuit, for example, that you're only seeing a slice of the game world; the "real" game world is bigger. Guardia Kingdom obviously has more than the ~50 inhabitants you see. You figure out that battles, where characters spend most of their time standing still, are just a representation of a more dynamic process that's slowed down and abstracted away for the player's benefit.
"Remakes" of classic pixel RPGs remove this layer of abstraction; they weaken the player's suspension of disbelief, and the aesthetics of the game suffer. And usually, the aesthetics of the original game were fine. If anything, the "problem" is that by modern standards, the game isn't big or complex enough (too short and repetitive, battle programming is too simple, game mechanics make little sense and/or are too easy to optimize, and in general there aren't enough difficult decisions to make).
Unfortunately, this shortcoming of the original 16-bit game usually isn't what gets updated. Square doesn't release a version of Final Fantasy 6 or Chrono Trigger with better battle mechanics, more differentiated characters, etc. They release the game with updated (read: usually worse) graphics and sound and almost no change to the actual gameplay other than maybe the addition of an optional side dungeon.

How have they not made a Chrono Trigger HD2D remake yet? It would look AMAZING.

@TrueBurna @jack_blondde Think it's also 95% accurate compared to Rock Slide's 90%

@draign_45 @rubberhoseroach S1 of Ashita no Joe is only 79 episodes, a bit longer than S2 but still a great watch.
English
@rubberhoseroach Nah , I watched 2 first because it was much more interesting and 50+ episodes is something that i can finish unlike 170+
English
I’ll always prefer ashita no joe 1 over 2 visually and it’s irritating when I see comments from people who skipped the first season because the show looked too “old to watch”???

@ArtificeNevoh @XC_Enel You need half the population to press Blue to survive pressing Blue. Anyone who presses Red is guaranteed to survive.
English
@XC_Enel Tbh it's a tricky intersection of morality with the likely reality imo.
The simple answer is you have no chance of dying with the blue button, bit with the red, it's quite a lot more likely. Most are going to view it that way and choose red, making the outcome inevitable.
English
“If you press red you always survive so only stupid people would pick blue” probably goes hard as an argument if you’re 15 and fail to take into account what even a 10-20% loss of population would do to the world + all the children you'd lose.

Everyone on earth takes a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press? BE HONEST.
English
@imposeexistence @Skooch Pressing Blue is a trap. You are gambling on others to guarantee your survival. The Red Button always guarantees your survival. If everyone but one person picked Red, only one person would die. You would have to convince half the world to press the Blue button with you to survive

Sneasler (52.7%) has officially leaped over Incineroar (43.9%) in the last 7 days of Champions tournaments. Garchomp also continues to climb, now firmly sitting at 40.4%.
Is the Sneasler era officially here? What are you building to stop it?

In order for Amtrak to replicate Japan, you have to:
1) Nationalize the railways
2) Give them eminent domain authority
3) Let them own and build density around their stations
4) Give them money for capital expenses
All of which the “privatize trains” people don’t support.

The Japanese railway privatization of 1987 stands as one of the most devastating defeats ever dealt to statist transportation mythology. The government split the bloated Japan National Railways into seven regional companies, sold them off, and watched private ownership transform a bankruptcy-bound disaster into the world's most efficient rail system. JNR hemorrhaged money for decades before privatization. By 1987, the state railway carried debt equivalent to $200 billion in today's money while delivering mediocre service plagued by strikes and inefficiency. Politicians treated it as a jobs program rather than a transportation service. The predictable result: chronic losses, deteriorating infrastructure, and customer service that reflected government monopoly arrogance. Private ownership changed everything overnight. The new JR companies slashed operating costs by 40% within five years while dramatically improving service quality. JR East alone now generates annual profits exceeding $3 billion. These companies invest billions in cutting-edge technology, maintain punctuality rates above 99%, and operate the world's most advanced high-speed rail networks. They achieved this without a single yen of operational subsidies. The transformation reveals a core dynamic of transportation infrastructure: private companies must satisfy customers to survive, while government monopolies need only satisfy politicians. JR companies diversified into real estate, retail, and hospitality around their stations, creating integrated profit centers that cross-subsidize rail operations. Government railways never innovate this way because bureaucrats face no market pressure to generate returns. Meanwhile, Amtrak burns through $2 billion in annual subsidies while delivering third-world service across most routes, and European state railways require massive taxpayer bailouts every few years to stay solvent.
