Once I have the page downloaded, I have a program for ripping the plain text out. The part I don’t have a great solution for is crawling their site to find the faqs. I use wget to get just about everything, but that takes a lot longer than it would if I had a way to zero in on just the faqs. I haven’t spent much time on that part, but my current brute force approach doesn’t work well for the larger platforms.

there are rumors that Nintendo is gonna be releasing an all new 2D mario not in the “New SMB” series coinciding with the release of the film… the internet is abuzz with speculation about whether it’s a tie in game to this movie

personally i would rather it be the long awaited Super Mario Bros. The Movie: The Game a la the old Street Fighter movie game with photorealistic Bob Hoskins Mario.

Was thinking earlier today that this should be a walk in the park for mareeo, how can you drop the ball now?
… started wondering though, what if this tanked really hard instead of ugly Sonic trainwreck that shouldn’t have been able to turn the corner?

Would Segata Sanshiro come back and admit he handed in the script?
Would we get a Segagaga Gacha Game?
A Chao VR garden?
Big the Cat Gritty Origin Story a.k.a Big vs Moby Dick?
In this timeline, nothing seems impossible…

Given how long it takes to develop one of these juggernauts of modern game production, I feel like CDPR is announcing a slate they know most their current studio staff won’t live long enough to see released.

If they want that their CEO needs to get into a massive scandal, triggering a massive lawsuit, which causes their stock price to dip. That’s how you get Microsoft to open their money vault

I’m playing it on ps5 rn, and while it’s still very buggy I think it’s stable enough to try out and have a good time with. I quite like it for it is. even if like everything else cdpr does it feels like it was written by garth marenghi
