Still remember when 'Mode 7' was a thing (scaling and rotation) in the SNES...such bleeding edge Game Tech back in 1991...

As a factor of processing power, it's still technically more powerful than modern 2D processing (since modern 2D processing is exceptionally weak)

Finished. Went back and watched the OVA for comparison

There's lots of stuff I misremembered - since I didn't remember the n'dool fight in the OVA, even though that's 1/3 the run time.

D'arby was pretty much 1:1, so in a weird way I have to penalize the remake for NOT being more creative even though it's also trying to match the manga as well.

Dry Ice (lulz) was also relatively disappointing...

But there is stuff in the OVA that is better (OPINION)

For one, I adore 80's/90's vehicle artwork - so things like their truck and the senator's car I like a lot more in the OVA. Also, even though he's a minor character... the Senator's death is better in the OVA (although the buildup is better in the remake)

Futhermore, spoilers, the visuals from Iggy's death were better in the OVA due to the better goooooo

Also, I kinda like the way The Fool looks in the OVA more than the remake, but I think that's related to my comment on vehicles and the way they used to be drawn.

I'm doing a thing on special effects?

What's a special effect? It's teh non-artwork* related GWAAAAFIIXX! Particle effects, Mode 7 shenanigans, parallax weirdness, clever transparencies, procedural layering or whatever, y'know?

*Asterisk: obviously artwork is involved, but I want to differentiate from things like basic spell animations (such as the amazing ones in FF6)

...

Anyways, for some starters

Let's open with split-level parallax!

This effect was done to great effect in pretty much only 2 games... Donkey Kong Country 2's underwater ship levels and Adventures of Batman&Robin (which also features rotational parallax, something that I've not seen in any other game)

..

Here's also a short vid from GameHut featuring some Genesis effects, I particularly like the procedural water

Its current reported mortality rate is 1% (down from 2%).

This still makes it the 2nd deadliest flu (by mortality), and possibly the 1st deadliest if you adjust for quality of medicine (since the most deadly was like 100+ years ago)

...

Even then, 1%, for metric - that's 5x as deadly as the regular flu. So, if you are afraid of regular flu you should be 5x as vigilant with this one.

There's a few different categories.

#1. The McDonalds single. It has the perfect flavour profile and size. If you want more you can get a double, but anything larger (like a big mac or QP) is just the wrong ratio

#2. The A&W Buddy Burger. Amazing flavours with dem onions and perfect size.

Ya, I've seen this mentality SOOOO many times on the internet. You ARE allowed to be entitled things, and they are good things.

I mean, it's fair enough to call someone entitled if they are applying a false entitlement to something they aren't entitled to - which was the original insult, but now it's used as a criticism of any sort of social benefit.
