i’d like to think i have a pretty good, realistic perspective on video game graphics and yeah the bigger environments do look crazy bad. i wish there was ps2-grade fog hiding everything thirty feet out from view. but that said the towns and buildings look okay and the characters look... okay. but those mountains,…

technologically speaking PS1 is so far back in time that there can’t be any realistic expectation that its physical media should be supported. 

you can say that again.

imagine if your bosses kept you chained to a single franchise for 25 years, in a local corporate culture that resists jumping ship. you’d probably be making all kinds of crazy demands, running up the bill, etc. yeah kojima was difficult but also he was propping up that entire company. look at what happened when Pro…

sekiro would arguably be one of the easier from software games to beat blindfolded, as the audio design is insanely rich and the combat is full of audio cues for parrying. 

oh god fuck that

you may not have noticed this, but the sets had already been dismantled. almost the entirety of season 6 was filmed against green screens. 

the duarte storyline would’ve played stronger if the previous three seasons hadn’t been so focused on marco. it’s a bit like “oh shit, this show used to be about the protomolecule, many years ago”
