Ugh. You’re probably right. I think I keep tricking myself into ignoring my natural cynicism.

I’d 100% go if I could afford it, and I’ve been self-isolating for a hell of a lot longer than any of you. 😏

idk, I can’t be arsed to google it, but it tracks; anime movies are finally coming out on UHD regularly now, it’s no longer limited to ones which get huge international theatrical releases like Ghibli and Makoto Shinkai films.

“F2P gamers will jump through hoops for free shit, and getting free shit will make them 22% more likely to play longer.” doesn’t strike you as uselessly redundant when “Jumping through hoops for free shit” is literally the entire Freemium gameplay loop and business model already?

Really? Noice! 👍

During a recent press conference for the Blu-ray release of Evangelion 3.333

Anticipated nerd bullshit in order of release likelihood:

What? You regret watching 90 minutes of mindfuck murderporn where every character we’ve gotten to know over the thirteen-odd hours of show are psychologically destroyed and/or brutally and horrifically murdered before the whole of humanity is reduced to a vast sea of Tang? 🤨

The best/worst part is that what you just said made more fucking sense than the actual plot. Hideaki Anno is directly out of his fucking mind, and it’s kind of glorious. 😂

Hahaha, RIP.

Shinji will get in the robot embrace Instrumentality when he’s good and goddamn ready to. Until then we’re just going to keep seeing the results of him rejecting it. 🤷‍♂️

I’ve got bad news for you; these take place after EoE. Because there are things worse than death, and Hideaki Anno can do all of them. 😏

Okay, I had a whole big fucking rant about how the entire TV-style advertising paradigm isn’t even relevant anymore, but I shoved that down to the bottom of this comment. Can we talk about their “pilot campaign” for a second?

I’m sorry but I have to be reductive like this—Death Stranding x LEGO.

This is so true that it hurts.

I assume—since modifications would only be local and have no effect on what others see, and we can probably rule out it affecting the hitbox because if that were possible it would be incredibly bad design—it has to do with changing the player models to make other players more visible to you. 🤔

So if you use a US shop your throwing a master of the art at your problem, where as china is some rando who might get it right if your lucky.

You’re clearly unaware of the recent (~6 years?) phenomenon of people backing like $300 board games on Kickstarter. 🤨

The key is going to be the small business and individual entrepreneur markets. (i.e. chasing those Kickstarter bucks)

Hopefully this leads to more domestic manufacturing capability.
