i know i complained about it a lot already but im actually sooo annoyed about the apple arcade thing like most sonic mobile games are like. just running with no plot or anything. fun way to pass time and they occasionally have cute alternate costumes or bring back characters that havent been around for a while but youre not really missing much by not playing them. that or theyre just mobile ports of already existing games. but now theyre making a mobile game that seems to have an actual story and is introducing a new character and also just looks really cute and fun in general and also they brought back cream as a main character for the first time in like 50 years and theyre not only making it exclusive to apple devices but also locking it behind a subscription service. go to hell like actually

DMC Questions Anon here!

Rank the characters of Devil May Cry! I'm not going to give you a specific list of characters, just rank whichever characters you feel like ranking.

I`ve decided to rank the character skins in the series (for some reason the fandom almost never talks about them...)

5. EX Trish DMC5

4. Legendary Dark Knight Dante&Vergil DMC4 (for some reason Vergils version is Corrupted, and I'm gonna lose my head if I start thinking if this was a reference to Nelo Angelo corruption, or if this means Sparda himself was Corrupted at some unknown time in the history of dmc... nope, not thinking about it, the skins are sick thou)

3. Coatless Vergil DMC3

2. Diesel Dante&Lucia DMC2

The entire damn POC have you SEEN those skins. There's literally everything you could want from a character skin: there are a couple of sick armor sets with some light shoulder plating, there are Luxurious embroided gold coats, there's a horribly sexualised (as always) weird but also kind of fun witch skin for Lady...but most important of all. Beach skins. Beach skins in the game are every fan`s dream.

p.s. all the pictures have been taken from the Costumes portion of the DMC fandom wiki, and you can check out the Beach POC skins in this post

Climate action groups are vehemently rejecting the Biden administration's claim that the approval of a new offshore oil terminal—planned to be the largest in the U.S.—is in the "national interest," after the U.S. Department of Transportation announced the project had met several federal requirements and could begin operations by 2027.

The agency's Maritime Administration said last week that Enterprise Product Partners, a Houston-based pipeline company, had been granted a deepwater port license to build the Sea Port Oil Terminal (SPOT) near Freeport, Texas following a five-year federal review process.

The federal government determined the $1.8 billion terminal project had undergone sufficient environmental impact reviews and would overall benefit the country—even as it was projected by the Sierra Club, which has fought SPOT for several years, to emit greenhouse gases equivalent to those of nearly 90 coal-fired power plants.

"The evidence is clear that SPOT would be catastrophic to the climate, wildlife, and frontline communities of the Gulf," said Devorah Ancel, senior attorney with the Sierra Club. "It threatens the future existence of the endangered Rice's whale with a population of less than fifty, and its ozone pollution would compromise the health of thousands of Gulf residents who have endured decades of fossil fuel industry pollution. Make no mistake, SPOT is not in the national interest."

The project is expected to include two pipelines that would carry crude oil to the deepwater port each day, enabling the export of 2 million barrels of crude oil, loaded onto two supertankers at once, daily.

"Nothing about this project is in alignment with Biden's climate and environmental justice goals," said Kelsey Crane, senior policy advocate at Earthworks. "The communities that will be impacted by SPOT have once again been ignored and will be forced to live with the threat of more oil spills, explosions, and pollution. The best way to protect the public and the climate from the harms of oil is to keep it in the ground."

Allie Rosenbluth, U.S. manager at Oil Change International, noted that the project has been approved despite the International Energy Agency's clear assessment in 2021 that "all new investments in oil and gas projects must stop if the world is going to reach its climate goals," including limiting planetary heating to 1.5°C.

"The Biden administration's decision to approve the Sea Port Oil Terminal is a grave mistake. This approval will only harm local communities and ecosystems, and lead to even more devastating impacts of the climate crisis," said Rosenbluth. "The U.S. is already the largest producer of oil and gas and has the largest expansion plans globally. Instead of continuing this legacy of harm by approving fossil fuel projects, President Biden should be listening to the science and the masses of his constituents calling for an end to fossil fuels."

The direct action group Climate Defiance expressed doubt that the approval of SPOT will help Biden win over any voters as the 2024 election approaches.

Nine in 10 Democratic voters and Democratic-leaning independents told Pew Research Center last year that they believe the U.S. should prioritize developing renewable energy sources—and two-thirds of Republican voters under age 30 agreed.

"This project would be the single-largest oil export terminal in the U.S." said the group. "We are being boiled alive here, literally burned to death by 'moderate' politicians who see fit to torch us in the name of quarterly profits. How can we live like this? How can this go on?"

Last year was the hottest on record, and the first three months of 2024 have each broken records for high global temperatures. Scientists found last year that climate disasters including wildfires in Canada and extreme heat in Europe were made far more likely by fossil-fueled planetary heating.

Local organizers in Texas condemned the Biden administration's decision to ignore campaigners who have warned of the danger SPOT poses to marine habitats as well as people who live in the area where two crude oil pipelines have now been given final approval to run.

"We continue to struggle to see why Biden and [Transportation Secretary Pete] Buttigieg prefer to protect the corporate profits of billion-dollar oil giants like Enbridge and Enterprise over the hardcore objections of the people who would have to live with the consequences of pipelines criss-crossing our beaches," said Trevor Carroll, Brazoria County lead organizer with Texas Campaign for the Environment. "If you care about environmental justice and the climate, you just can't support a monstrosity like SPOT. The local community and the global climate justice movement are continuing to fight... This is not over."

Melanie Oldham, director of Better Brazoria, said SPOT will be "an oil spill waiting to happen that would not only lower property value, but harm our local ecosystems, ecotourism, beaches, recreation, and kill marine life like the endangered Rice's whale and Kemp's Ridley sea turtles."

"Those of us residents, beachgoers, and voters that have for the past four years opposed the SPOT offshore terminal and pipelines are very disappointed with the approval of the project license," said Oldham. "President Biden has again broken promises to protect frontline communities in Surfside and Freeport."

The administration's approval came three months after the White House announced it was delaying consideration of new gas export terminals, and the same day the federal government said fossil fuel companies will have to pay higher royalties in order to drill on federal lands.

But those climate actions paired with the SPOT approval amount only to "flip flopping," said Climate Defiance.

"It is not enough that the administration stopped new gas exports if they are going to back stab us with this death-sentence decision now," said the group. "This is not us being 'ungrateful.' This is the science. The pure, unvarnished, science."

spellcaster - Angela Jo (1992).

Back in 1992, when this album was first released, no Sim had ever heard of Angela Jo (born Angelica Simmons). But that summer, a strange, enchanting song started playing on Willow Creek University's radio. It was unlike anything anyone had heard before. A woman sang like an angel over eerie synthesizers and droning guitars, in lush, jazzy bridges, and acapella choruses. That was her first single, titled "Figure Of Speech (Don't Worry)." Suddenly, everyone wanted to know all about the mysterious Angela Jo. Upon the albums full release, "Spellcaster" immediately took the number 1 spot, and stayed there for a record breaking 16 weeks! She signed to Plumbob Productions that same year and went on tour the next. However, she did not release her second album "Waterboard" until 2017, and has since turned her focus to her eponymous clothing line, "Jo". In an interview for QI Magazine, she said: "The attention got to be too much [...] | felt that I could no longer make any music, that it wouldn’t live up to [...] people's expectations.” As of 2022, she is dating the actress Samantha Port.

The Q2 remaster is great but there also seems to be gameplay changes i heard of like the nerfed Rail-gun and even changed lighting/fog stuff in some levels, though i also haven't played Q2 in a while to notice.

Though as great as a remaster can be, i think every change should be known for the sake of facts and documentation.

At least those on Steam still have access to the original version, which also applied to other id titles.

It's important that the older versions of these games are still accessable, even if the new versions have a lot of positives.

This is mostly because of game preservation and how "literal" that term should be taken.

It's why it's a good thing that D64 EX at the time required the N64 rom of the game: It's like a literal way to remind you it was a N64 title even if we all prefer to play it on PC.

Because Nightdive also composes of people that are part of the community and fans of Doom and Quake did a lot of good things for the games they like.

But i can also see why some worry if someone does questionable things or how long can they be trusted, as long as there's a base to think that way (And is not just contrarianism for the sake of it).

Limited Run Games is kind of an example because of how they work.

I think i recall Nightdive soon returning to Blood Fresh Supply, no?

Because when it came out, i think people recall GGGmanlives calling it a good port and then Civvie actually pointed out innacuracies and Nightdive tried to fix them until Atari (Or was it WB? I forgot) made them stop for no reason.

Correct me if i'm wrong though.

Either way, we can all agree that keeping games alive should extend beyond being "official" to a series.
