Gaming / Should I buy a NES or a SNES?

T4R.
Some very good classics on either console. Tough choice tbh.

I'm alright, but stressed out and overworked. My job comes with a lot of responsibilities and people depending on me. Lots of deadlines and last minute tasks to do. Gotta go back to Greece next month and then London for work as well. Also under a lot of pressure to get my PhD grant and approval done.

Not to mention being the number 1 quake champions streamer.
That too of course, though the Quake stuff is just a lot of fun. The rest not so much. A lot of people expect great things of me and, as much as I want to live up to it all, that's a lot of pressure and so much that can fail.

You got this, use your quake skills to your advantage.
Just huwa-huwa-huwa your way to success.
Spoiler
That's how jumping sounds in quake

Thanks for the clarification. The asset re-use I mentioned is mainly Blue team and Osiris. I don't think they will change their look much. MC's suit was the template for him in H5. I also doubt 343 just asked a bunch of contractors to make armor without giving them some sketches or at least reviewing the third-party sketches and choosing the ones they liked best. But then again - 343 did release MCC in the state that it was in, so perhaps they don't do any monitoring / reviews and just push any old shit onto the release build?
Unlikely that they will write a new engine for Halo 6, maybe just some extra beef for X1X? Loot boxes were definitely a big part in diluting the quality, forcing a quota on the art team but why rush things when you can just push content out post-release? Instead they gave us 30+ armors, but only 2 playlists and no forge.

Blue Screen – Sean has done some work to bring back to the Halo 2 network transition screen (the bluescreen that pops up saying “Connecting to game…” and when there’s a wait for a player to join or when a host migration occurs). Turns out that original code was ‘commented out’ during MCC development which resulted in H2 network games just having black screens or just a scoreboard which isn’t informative for players (nor historically correct!).
Wow I forgot that was a thing in Halo 2. Got so used to the black screen in MCC I guess. Looks like some people at 343 really do want to fix this abomination of a game when they go after the little things like this.
Honestly I feel bad for the individual artists and programmers and animators there, who I'm sure do genuinely want to build the best game they can and are probably the ones who actually see all the shit flung about the newer entries online, especially the ones who probably signed up to work at 343 back in 2008-2011 when the series was at its most popular. Just a shame that unless you're one of the leads, you pretty much get no say in anything and just have to do the work you're given.

What kills me is that the actual concept at 343i are genuinely great but by the time it ends up actualy in the games it's been corrupted into shit like Seeker. I'd really like to know what is going on behind the scenes that this happens.
I think people are just afraid to speak up. Imagine roasting your lead artist after he worked 30 hours to make the Seeker helmet. It can be intimidating.
That's not how it works. Most of the arnour is contracted to third party studios, not done in-house.
Oh, they need to stop that or at least review them in early stages.
They do it because hiring an additional large amount of character artists is unfeasible.
Considering how 70%+ of the armor in H5 is shit, they can probably do it all internally.
Quality > quantity.
So I'm guessing you have no idea what an art pipeline looks like or how art works in games dev
They have the tools and assets. 70% of armor is shit. Is 343i capable of producing 30% of H5s armor internally? They will reuse the assets for protagonists in H6. Art isn't exactly in high demand in later dev stages, just polish? So can they not make 15 / 20 good armors?

Just watched a GeneralKidd halo video for the first time in a decade. How are his videos still so badly edited and terrible on the spot commentary. Like the mythbusting stuff is cool but what the fuck man.
I actually told him to write some notes down (a lite script), but he is still free-styling it.
