i’ve already seen people report that these upscaling attempts on videos have resulted in flashing boxes & flickering that may cause issues for people with photosensitivity & Youtube refuses to make a statement on it.
Youtube has announced that all low-res videos (i.e. older ones) are to be automatically AI upscaled to HD.
Creators can opt-out on a per video basis (but the channel may be long abandoned).
When researching props or behind the scenes, old videos are useful, but not if upscaling produces artefacts.

A manga based on the life and career of Masahiro Sakurai is coming 11/18! Roughly translated as “Masahiro Sakurai: Making The World More Fun With Games” it focuses on his childhood, creating Kirby and Smash, and beyond. Only one volume though so definitely an easier read than One Piece.

I can't remember the last time I bought a game from EA but this is so incredibly dire. Fatal Fury was stuck with a weird DJ and a sex offender soccer star. What the hell are they going to do to EA's lineup?
The video game publisher Electronic Arts announced on Monday plans to be taken private in a deal valued at roughly $55 billion by a group of investors that includes Jared Kushner and Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund. The deal is among the largest buyouts ever.

The 2008 financial crisis started a massive transfer of wealth from the middle classes to the rich, which has been accelerating for 17 years since.
This is why the economy never recovered. And why ordinary people are getting poorer and poorer.
I made my money betting on this.
