Pokemon X. I had a huge gap between portables (Game Boy Advance to 3DS), so I was marvelled by the sheer amount of awesomeness from the DS and 3DS library. Got my hands into Pokemon Black and I absolutely loved it. Awesome characters, a great story that asks a very difficult question about the core of the universe of…

I found the movie fantastic. Cera wasn’t particularly outstanding here, but everyone else shined brightly. Every time I watch it, it gets better. The staff, the pace, the quick jokes, the transitions, soundtrack. Wright did a sensational job here.

That’s great, but reading “investors are complaining about high executives salaries and benefits” does not translate into “let’s balance things for others”, but “I, as an investor, want more money”. At least that was my take on it.

Kinda catchy, yes. The presentation, however, fell very short. Not gonna preach that graphics aren’t important, but a minimum is expected. What was shown was just straight bad. The song and the mechanics have potential, art-direction-wise? Nope.

“A father of four”. 4 kids just lost their dad. Man, this makes me incredibly sad.

Well, Last of Us movie now has its set.

I do see an enormous amount of effort to remodel the character’s faces. But things pretty much stops right after the neck. Like it needs to remind us that this is a wii game. It doesn’t. For those who had the nostalgia, awesome (maybe), but for those to skipped this title entirely it does look weird. Xenoblade…

What I like here is that despite the absurd negative publicity the title tries to hold on Nvidia GFN - a very consumer-friendly service - the majority of the comments here supports GeForce Now. I have a founders subscriptions and I am very happy with the service. Yeah, sucks to see greed all over the place from those…

That is really not how media outlet works at all. They have to cover popular stories. AC was hugely anticipated so the amount of content reflects that (it is worth saying that I am not a fan of AC). We don’t pay a dime for Kotaku, the ads on the right side here does - and they need viewers. Viewers that comes with…

As NoelVeiga mentioned, it costs nothing (development-wise) to support GFN infrasctructure because it is basically a virtual machine running Windows 10 with a specific interface to launch Steam and Epic launchers.

I spent 2 extra years in dissertation stage - not as long as PHD but definitely I felt like I wasn’t going anywhere. I couldn’t put myself to even writing a single word.

On the other hand, Geforce Now 1.works beautifully; 2. with my Steam account; 3. on a free tier. I was excited for Stadia, but the lack of a free beta testing stage (like GeForce Now) and the whole separate store where you need to buy the game again basically killed any interest I had.

My interest for Stadia pretty much dissolved since Google decided that you have to pay in order to be a beta tester. I’ve been testing Geforce Now for free since Fall 2019 and with the launch of the service, their pricing model and the free tier (aside from, of course, the ability to play my library of Steam games).…

The game isn’t out yet. Not that I intend to buy it, but by the time it releases, they may already have done this.

Aside from the guy’s “humour” I believe the second half questions’ content was questionable (sorry). “What was your reaction to learning your books were getting 500,000 reprints after the release of the Netflix show?”, can’t say I expect any interesting answers from this one.

I don’t know, Mike, I would choose Crush 40 a million times over this. Yeah, there are some consistency with the lyrics, but catchy? Can’t say that myself. Live and Learn? Yeah, that’s catchy. Open Your Heart, Knight of the Wind, What I’m Made Of and so many others.

LupuisVerdi asked because you mentioned you “draw anime” but anime itself is animation, while your illustration, although inspired by japanese-style art, is still.. you know.. static. Nice colours and good sense of perspective by the way.

Totally agree. AFAIK “anime” stands for japanese animation, anywhere else is just “animation” or any other word. You can even say “anime-inspired” or something like that and it is fine. You don’t see companies advertising “swiss chocolate” a product created in US, right?

Since Crunchyroll debuted 10 years ago I’ve been accessing its service, but at least in Brazil it only came a lot later. I don’t know where you live, but the world is bigger place, man. Even accessing an US service from Brazil requires some stuff, from an international credit card, to actually be able to afford a…

wow. I am speechless.
If the actual anime industry in japan cannot afford to not crunch their teams and/or pay them accordingly, then there is something fundamentally wrong with it. Now there is the revenue from all those streaming services reaching places that no licensing contract were made. A huge amount of people…
