As a child it was my first real experience I remember having with philosophy! I played the game about a decade before I learned about the Simulation Theory

I hear Till the End of Time may take that title.

I bought myself a Super Famicom for Christmas this year...

I’ve noticed that Mihoyo has gone all in with a ton of small details that don’t particularly seem important, but really give the game depth. The first time I noticed this was in a particular character’s idle animation. In the animation, a strong wind blows the character’s hair and clothing. That wind though? It…

If you don’t know who this guy is, you’re not a Fire Emblem fan. #GatekeeperGatekeeping

Totally understand.  It’s important you all take care of yourselves, too!  <3

Cheers.

Obviously you’re gonna get the best quality / most plentiful feedback and anecdotes from people who are currently a coworker or were once a coworker. Hence so many current and formers in the roast.

Yay! Patricia’s back! Yay!

Everyone else gave some great responses from a technical standpoint, and I’m no engineer of any kind, so I can’t speak to that. I am a speech-language pathologist and have had a fair amount of training in how humans hear and process sound, however, so I’ll try and add my two cents from a physiological standpoint.

not an audio engineer but I am a software engineer so I’ll give it a try:

I’m no engineer but I have a home studio and have been fiddling around with audio for a couple decades. I also find this fascinating

Having additional drivers without any real processing changes isn’t actually beneficial. Our ears (well, brain) aren’t that dumb. 3D audio as used on PS5 isn’t fundamentally that different from virtual surround sound (or rather, more like virtual Atmos), but it has a dedicated processor so that it can perform way more…

Omg I never knew the connection between Flying Lotus and Adult Swim but it seems obvious when you point it out. It’s been a decade+ since I watched AS but I can still hear the music from those bumps.

Wow, this is such a lovely note! Thank you so much for the kind words.

Hey Ari, I’ve been reading Kotaku for longer than I can remember (2006, I think? Jesus...), and it’s been hard to see so many staff writers I’ve come to love and respect move up and/or on. There’s been a certain degree of anxiety on my part as new writers, such as yourself, replace them because I don’t know your…

I’ve finally met Alisaie and there is no question she is the superior sibling.

had a spoiler warning in here but somehow it got et. fixed now with my apologies and thanks.

Given your status as an impartial robot I’m inclined to trust your assessment.

Ethan, these articles are delightful; I really mean that!
