  • Yeah, Gane and Pereira will be a decent scrap for sure. I’m leaning toward Pereira, just because Gane has been a bit inconsistent in terms of actually showing up in a few of his fights (as in, he does physically show up but just looks less than stellar).

    I’m really keen to see Ilia at WW - I know it’s early days of his lightweight run, but the way he starched Charlie Olives like that makes me wonder if anyone at 155 can actually stand and trade with him.



  • “No support is provided for the Android app,; it is free, and your expectations should be in line with that. Please do not email me about issues about it, or ask for help, you will be ignored.” states Duckstation Developer.

    There seems to be a pattern here where the community has a (possible?) minority of extremely negative people who make life difficult for developers who are giving away their software for free.

    Reverse engineering an entire piece of hardware, and re-implementing that as code, must be such an involved task. The PS1’s hardware is absolutely bananas to me - I tried to learn to use PsyQ (the Psygnosis SDK) years ago and the furthest I got was flashing some multi-colored text on the screen because you had to understand the hardware at a fairly low level (buffers, z-tables, and a bunch of other shit) just to get sprites working iirc.

    I just don’t get the sense of entitlement from a userbase who aren’t paying anything for the emulators, the games (in most cases), and aren’t even contributing to the code themselves because they don’t want to put the work in, but will happily cause stress to the devs without thinking twice about it?








  • It’s absolutely fine to realize that something - that you previously thought you wanted to achieve - is not for you, and decide to give up on it; but you should try to make sure that you have had at least one experience in life where achieving something (or learning it, etc) turned out to be much more difficult than you thought, but you kept persevering until you overcame the challenge.

    Maybe this is not actually great advice, but (speaking for myself) it has greatly increased my confidence in my abilities and potential, as well as my general self-belief.
