What is this?
Gentlemen, for this month of April I plan on hosting 3 different multiplayer games for (You) and other Anons to play.
The first game in the list is...

Game 1: SRB2 Kart (Neptune)
>SRB2Kart is a kart racing mod based on the 3D Sonic the Hedgehog fangame Sonic Robo Blast 2, based on a modified version of Doom Legacy.
The Neptune fork will be used for its features and improvements.
You may find a list of changes here: https://codeberg.org/NepDisk/srb2k-neptune/src/commit/a8a4afd51a4a6c3ce93aeff857c714f4c83f0b78/README.md

Where?
Join the server, its IP address is: 198.98.51.209

When?
Weekends, on April 4th to 6th and April 11th to 13th, starting at 7:00 PM (UTC).
The server will run until April 14th so you may also join it at any time. Just make sure to post ITT for Anons to join if it's a weekday.

What errors do you two get and which distros do you use?
>>272068
>if you have problems with missing textures you might need to patch the source to enable PNG lumps
If the game finds any PNG lumps it will shut itself down with an error message (see src/w_wad.c:1410 and src/sdl/i_system.c:3537).
Removing the NO_PNG_LUMPS macro definition only removes the error message without decompressing the PNG data, essentially giving the caller garbage lump header data (since it's never decompressed).
Either way this is no longer an issue since the track with this problem was updated, so there shouldn't be any need to patch anything.

>If the game finds any PNG lumps it will shut itself down with an error message (see src/w_wad.c:1410 and src/sdl/i_system.c:3537).
There are multiple definitions of I_Error(), the one called in w_wad.c does not call exit() and looks like this after running the GCC preprocessor:
<void I_Error(const char *error, ...) attribute ((format(printf, 1, 2),noreturn));
>Removing the NO_PNG_LUMPS macro definition only removes the error message without decompressing the PNG data, essentially giving the caller garbage lump header data (since it's never decompressed).
Yeah, you'd think so. I never figured out how this worked and I couldn't be bothered running it through a debugger. Maybe the PK3 lump deflate code has something to do with it, although the output should still have been heavily distorted.
>Either way this is no longer an issue since the track with this problem was updated, so there shouldn't be any need to patch anything.
Good, let's hope there aren't any others. I recall there was another wad overriding some default textures, is that fixed too?

I'll start with a few ones:
>Nero
Because Dante was apparently too manly, so that faggot Izuno had to make his own twink version of it.
Probably went like this:
Izuno: "Dante? Nah, he's way too masculine, let's make the same character, but lame and gay! And i want him to become the new protagonist of the series!"
I think that Izuno guy was alright when put in charge of game mechanics, but he was complete shit at character design.
>Viola
Because Bayonetta needed to be replaced after only 2 games that came out so far apart, and after the fans waited so long for a third installment, they surely must have been tired of her, right?
>And they came out with that shit.
Here's your new protagonist, bro!
Probably killed the series for good.
>Yakumo
Ninja Gaiden 4 isn't even out yet, but i already hate this character.
Yet another case of: "Main character is too masculine, let's replace him with a twink faggot" by retarded Jap devs who think you get old as soon as you get out of high school.
And the first info about this character already killed any excitement i had about about Ninja Gaiden 4.

Uh huh, so why did Rising do such good sales with such hated Raiden as the exclusive protag in a mere spin off game? He did nearly double the sales of the Snake led Peace Walker.

Microsoft has shut down how many studios?
What halo game can they make without 10 years of dev time only to fuck up the lore, gameplay, online service, etc.? 
Embracer group is busy buying up and selling off every single videogame corporation they bought.
Almost every live service game with sony has shut down that Jim Ryan tried to green light( ex. Concord).
Ubisoft is trying to sell itself off to Tencent now.
Eidos Montreal is dead as well.
Maybe you're thinking of mobile games but western AAA development is looking dead as fuck from what I'm seeing. What Western AAA is living large?
>I'm not saying anything heretical. People like new characters and not everyone wants to play generic meatheads all the time.
Not at the cost of replacing established characters. This is what I'm saying in regards to you justifying every single business decision and direction a videogame company makes.
>More people like Raiden and more people like Nero than dislike
Which, once again, I can accept that people like Raiden and Nero. But I would bet that more people would like Snake and Dante even more than them and wouldn't want a future installment include Raiden and Nero more that the original characters that started the franchise. Kinda what the OP is saying about side characters ruining the franchise because it is what no one came for and characters are overstaying their welcome.
>Where did I do this?
I'll say that this goes into the defending every design decision a director does because you say "even thought there is backlash on the character switch, but eventually everyone liked it and so it is justified" . Here are you're quotes...

>so why did Rising do such good sales with such hated Raiden as the exclusive protag in a mere spin off game?
Depends on what you define as "good". Rising "officially" sold 2.5 million copies, which puts it a little over the PSP exclusive Peace Walker (2 million). And even then, majority of those sales only occured a year after news had already spread around that the game was actually good and it finally came to PC. So how do you want to play this? Because the takeaway I'm seeing is that majority of people initially avoided the game, which defeats your entire argument about how people "loved" Raiden, until it came out that the game was actually good.
>Companies don't care about those
Yes, they do.
>Nobody from Capcom is on here looking for our edgy takes. 
Yes, they are. When they're not shilling how great their latest shlop is.
>There are no Triple A companies that fit that description. 
Didn't Ubishit literally announced several days ago that they're already reconsolidating in their new company because AC Niggers did SO "well"?
>A decrease in sales doesn't mean "dying".
Yes, it does. As these companies have gone from releasing 10-20 games in a year down to 3-5. Meaning that even a single game failing is a substantial loss. Do you not remember the mega-successful nuTomb Raider, Hitman Absolution, and Sleeping Dogs being declared as monumental flops?
>Games are still being released
Yes, like how games were still being released after the 1983 video game crash. In fact, Intellivision was riding high during those years are they had the entire console market to themselves.

For one, it didn't sell well for a long time. It got more popular over time mostly due to memes (of the internet variety) slowly spreading, with Max0r's "incorrect summary" being one of the peaks of its popularity.
And this slow increase in popularity was afforded to it by being on PC, instead of an obsolete handheld. A normalfag can go on Steam right now and buy Rising, while the same can't be said for Peace Walker.

He successfully argued because Jobst fucked up
>Continue to talk shit about Mitchell during a defamation trial
The judge pointed this out in his ruling that Jobst proved he had a vendetta against Mitchell by refusing to shut up and stop talking about Mitchell online before, during, and after the court case. All he had to do was lay low but he couldn't.
>Focus on Mitchell's gaming record
The major issue with this couet case is that Jobst made it appear as if he was getting attacked by Mitchell for outing him as a cheater. The actual defemation suit was that Jobst was accused of saying Mitchell directly contributed to the suicide of some youtuber. The defense was more prepared to fight that Mitchell was a confirmed cheater and his reputation was established as such before Jobst appeared. Mitchell's team struggled to show Mitchell wasn't a piece of shit but also showed that Jobst did defame Mitchell by saying he killed the youtuber. Looks like Jobst is double fucked because his youtube base doesn't take the time to read the legal proceedings and thought the court case was about video game cheating and now are going after him for lying. So in the end we get a double whammy and both sides outta here.

For QoL, grab flux reticle, officer extension, leading pip, and system marker. Some of these are "out of date" but you can just edit the modinfo to change the game version required to force them to work.
It's a little hard to recommend ship and weapon mods since the update just happened, so mods are still updating, but I usually go with ship/weapon pack + underworld + tahlan. Underworld does add the minor cabal faction and tahlan adds the major legio faction. You can turn legio off though. I'm not sure if any of these will work currently though with just a simple modinfo update so you might want to wait until they update properly.
