fucked up the edges on one of the ground areas and now I basically just have to redo it from scratch I'm sure someone more talented with this than me could figure out how to smooth some of the changes I made but I'm not there yet https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/2/2bad4f82.jpg --- BLACK LIVES MATTER Games: http://backloggery.com/wrldindstries302 \\ Music: http://www.last.fm/user/DrMorberg/ |

i drove one all through my 20s bc my job provided me with one for work and personal use. It was so damn convenient for road trips, moving furniture, etc we got an SUV as a compromise when I quit that job and my wife didnt want me driving a minivan, but now with 2 kids and the strollers and all the shit you have to carry around with 2 kids it just makes sense --- BLACK LIVES MATTER Games: http://backloggery.com/wrldindstries302 \\ Music: http://www.last.fm/user/DrMorberg/ |

the worst part about buying a car is that if you don't haggle, you're gonna get hosed. The dealership expects people to haggle. The hagglers think they're getting some sort of huge deal, when the dealership is still coming out ahead, so this just makes it shittier for everybody else just trying to buy a car.i was haggling against my wife too lol we had a price for a white car that was on the lot, and the same car that was at an affiliated dealership an hour away in black for $1000 more guy said hed knock an extra $1000 off the white car if we took and my wife was like nah $2k isnt enough to take the white car smh EDIT: to be clear I didnt want a white car either but I dont $2000 care about it --- BLACK LIVES MATTER Games: http://backloggery.com/wrldindstries302 \\ Music: http://www.last.fm/user/DrMorberg/ |

I dont know where you live but I vaguely remember it being Texas so heres the Austin page that describes how basically everything you described needing HOAs for as illegal and provides both a form to submit and a number to call to have it enforced. My much smaller city has a similar page, as I imagine most do https://www.austintexas.gov/department/common-austin-code-violations HOAs are just an extra entity that enforce these laws in their own way and create an extra barrier and cost to home ownership, in addition to wielding their power to prevent affordable housing from being built if you have a problem with underfunded divisions in your city not enforcing the ordinances they should be enforcing, imo a private entity is not the solution --- BLACK LIVES MATTER Games: http://backloggery.com/wrldindstries302 \\ Music: http://www.last.fm/user/DrMorberg/ |

The user? No. The client? Fuck yeah, we are. If we have to rebuild the app from scratch, instead of just updating the code that's there, we are 1,000% charging the client as if they ordered a new app, from us, even if it ends up functionally identical. Why? Because we literally had to rewrite everything. Who do you think is paying for that time and work? Not us. We're not eating that shit.this is where i go back to my statement that the end user doesn't give a shit how the sausage is made it literally does not matter to the end user how it was written if you give them something identical to the previous version TTYD is functionally identical to a remaster. the goal was delivering an unchanged version of the original game. the only reason this is a "from the ground up" remake is nintendo calculated they could extract more money from their fanbase this way vs just putting a port up for $30 a la pikmin --- BLACK LIVES MATTER Games: http://backloggery.com/wrldindstries302 \\ Music: http://www.last.fm/user/DrMorberg/ |

We literally had to remake the entire app.that's fucking nonsense dude, if you put out a major version overhaul of an app you're not charging your current user for a new app again also if you're overhauling an app you're doing ux design, implementing new features, etc; not literally making it as close as possible to the original version so the ux and feature design steps aren't needed at all --- BLACK LIVES MATTER Games: http://backloggery.com/wrldindstries302 \\ Music: http://www.last.fm/user/DrMorberg/ |

Because they didn't actually remake anything, they ONLY added something that is completely separate from the main game, to begin with. You can literally play Xenoblade Chronicles DE without ever even touching the stuff they added.there are a ton of UX, QOL and visual changes to Xenoblade DE what does "remade from the ground up" even mean, if the end result is a game that is identical in level design, character design, level geometry, etc?
