Han Solo... robes? Wow. ;)

To put it in Shameless terms, you just referenced Frank’s fine Armani suit. He wears suits all the time, right? He’s the suit-wearing guy? I dunno, I’m not a fan.

I presumed the simple, block-faced, sans-serif font is an intentional, stylistic choice that isn’t going over well in a world where anyone with a copy of Photoshop Elements thinks that makes them a qualified design critic. Like every baby artist with their first fonts, they are very impressed by curliques and…

Somewhere a graphic designer is weeping about the value of readability.

I’m less offended by the simple fonts and more by that ridiculously tiny text present in both UI examples. No love for anyone with a screen smaller than a dinner table, I guess.

Can’t say I’m sorry that this fell to the wayside, but I’ll heartily and highly recommend Mike Mignola’s adaptation of Fafhrd & The Grey Mouser, working alongside Howard Chaykin. And Mignola actually drew the interiors of that book, rather than just covers. It’s a fantastic work, showing Mignola’s trademark…

Wagering against future quality based on current content is frequently a fool’s bet. Especially with the machines designed to improve.

Yes, it’s garbage now. Tell me about it in ten years, or even five.

Someone at Trigger really loves rapid cuts. I wonder if that allows them to break sequences across a wider range of animators.

People feeling a connection to a fictional character is the very definition of a parasocial relationship.

I’m gonna attribute it to ignorance, or carelessness, rather than malice. Maybe the word “animated” was just three characters too long to fit the headline?

> maybe do a fun reference to The Matrix when Neo and Trinity go to save Morpheus and are in the loading program getting guns.

I am so ecstatically thankful that nobody with this mindset was involved in the creation of this film.

>I want to hear plots, casting options, the whole shebang.

Seriously, I hear a lotta bitching but not a lotta actionable suggestions (“make it better” is not actionable).

- So the Mandos are totally being set up in the Moff Gideon thing, right? I feel like that’s his revenge against Bo and Din.

That, or it’s just a sign that the Mandalorian diaspora, acting as mercenaries, take any job that pays regardless of who is paying. And that’ll be something that Bo & Co. have to address, with…

Was that Doug Cockle in the Tails of Iron trailer? The Geralt Growl is hard to hide.

It appears the airbags deployed the instant they struck the wheel... you can see that by the time they were airborne, the side bags were already filling the windows. Probably still got bruised and battered, but between seatbelts and the bags it made all the difference.

What about attacking the tastes of Sanderson’s family? Or his fashion sense? What do they have to do with his success as a writer or an entrepreneur, and what purpose do they serve in Kehe’s narrative?

Yeah, but that’s just generating lines to go in the can. I imagine training one of these bots from scratch under your own parameters, filling in world lore and quest knowledge, and then letting the bot create its own dialogue.

You could set up parameters whereby players who push the bot in certain directions just end…

One of the more interesting and applicable functions I could see for the ChatGPT-style bots in the very near future, would be as NPC integration in games. The idea of being able to deepen the dialogue trees through interaction rather than a series of preset choices is very appealing. Even just finding different ways…

I believe so... mine are aging out now, though they still like it. I found it (along with Bluey) to be one of the more tolerable shows for small children, at least from the perspective of an adult watching along. I find it fun to try and figure out what the hell sort of bizarre dystopian landscape the characters exist…

That’s a bit of a stretch, but also not entirely out of character for Peppa Pig. This is the same Queen who jumped a drawbridge with a stolen double-decker bus full of children that one might arguably suggest she kidnapped from their school tour.

Peppa’s Queen was a bit wild. I wouldn’t put it past them to suggest she…

The Queen was a repeating character in the series, and a bit wild. When asked if she can “make teachers disappear”, she demures rather than answer. She confiscates a bus, takes the kids on a whirlwind tour of the city, and then jumps a drawbridge with a busload of technically kidnapped children. And she was always…

“Games like FFVII recontextualized the skirt as feminine clothing item not only for women to wear, but to be sexualized in.”

This strikes me as an odd blanket statement. Skirts have been sexualized for far longer than their appearance in videogames, and their usage in games is reflective of their usage in reality…
