This perfectly encapsulates the new Fatal Fury game. It's such a great new release but all the Fatal Fury old heads absolutely obliterate any new players, especially players from more popular backgrounds like Street Fighter or GG Strive.

Very awesome. Not sure what'd I'd ever use it for anything but it's cool to know the option exists.

I was recently helping someone shop for a laptop and stumbled upon the LG gram. I was really impressed with the build quality and how light it was. I think it was a 16in though. I prefer smaller screen 13/14 but I was very tempted to get one myself.

As someone who makes games for two different 6502 systems, this is a really cool read. I'm curious if I could use this in any of the toolchains I use for those platforms.

This just isn't true. There are plenty of very good NES games that have great game loops and are a blast to play. Some of the good ones have quirks or unintuitive controls but are still quite enjoyable.

This is a really cool tool. Will definitely be my go to for downloading anime and then plopping them on my Jellyfin server. May also just replace using Twitch in a browser for background noise, which usually kills resources on my dev machine.

I'm not sure if you're saying this tongue-in-cheek but as someone whose looking for a job, this is a requirement already with some employers.

Think some of the palette prompts are being censored and giving no warning. Neat tool though!

Congrats on the launch. Looking forward to giving this a shot.

Using firefox on android and the play button was hidden, even when I flipped my phone (zfold).

You must work at a Japanese university.

Joking aside, surely those name exclusions only account for user input and not data the model is trained on.

Professionally, most of my work has been in mobile app development but I'm quite comfortable with backend and frontend web development. Outside of work I've published my own mobile apps as well as had some indie games published (C/ASM). Looking for development work in really any kind of area as long as it's interesting.

This looks very cool. Kind of giving me total war / warhammer vibes. Wishlisted and I'll give the demo a go.

Good luck with the project.
