High-res pixel art? Maybe adding an extra zoom level so people can actually see the pixels as big fat squares would help? Of course purists would probably still not call it pixel art, but as you wrote, leaning more into the "pixel art&

At that point, I wonder if it would have been easier to use motion capture and insert the actor's armor, helmet etc. via CGI too?

So, he wants to distract from past illegal shit by doing more illegal shit? Doesn't sound like a viable long-term strategy to me... But yeah, I also wonder what would happen if the media would just stop dissecting every late-night blea

Since "Cola" is listed in the "popular alternatives" box, I think it's important to mention that most European Coca-Cola bottlers operate as franchises, i.e. they license the Coca-Cola brand and get the syrup for th

Let's hope China doesn't get a leader like Donald Trump in our lifetimes, then I think your prediction will apply. Despite the political tensions, China and Taiwan are so deeply integrated economically that an invasion would hurt

"Squircle" is a bit of a misnomer, isn't it? A "classic" rectangle with rounded corners is a rectangle with circle segments added at its corners, while a squircle actually has nothing to do with a circle. It reminds
