The proportions for some models match exactly for limb spacing, joint placement, as well as other landmarks (this was not debunked)- this is not possible without using a ripped model as the base. There are also 1:1 matches on body parts/components that were removed from 1 model and stuck on another one. Your claim…

Well, it’s an everything else ripoff, so why not?

I don’t know if you’re familiar with the concept of copying, but if I start from scratch and make a 3D model that looks identical to a pokemon but has different geometry, that’s still a copy.

Mofo, I used god-damn LightWave to learn 3D modeling in the 90s and have been using Maya for over 20 years. At no point in the ENTIRE HISTORY of 3D modeling has scaling been a destructive transformation OR been considered editing. You are a “3D artist” as much as a dude who watched one 10-min video of C++ on YouTube…

they should be side by side comparisons at the same scale, that’s the only way to properly compare the two. Just making a Pikachu the size of an ant doesn’t mean it’s your own original creation.

1. “Zooming in” in 3d space is a description of a camera movement. You’re talking about scaling the model.

“Not sure if this modder realizes it, but rescaling the models absolutely counts as editing them.”

Not sure if this modder realizes it, but rescaling the models absolutely counts as editing them. The scales of the models being near identical was the most damning evidence of plagiarism against Palworld.

Scaling is not modifying. 3D modeling/sculpting software are all different in units of size/scale. You could make a desk lamp model in Modeling Software A, import it into Modeling Software B, and instead sitting nicely on top of a desk, the lamp is the size of the desk itself. One *must* adjust the scale in order to…

What? Scaling means nothing. Scaling is a completely transform-free process in 3D modeling. 1 inch means 1 foot means 1 astronomical unit because these virtual worlds are completely unit free.

the Ardyn one is the least essential of all the DLC; primarily because it posits an entire alternate ending. This is followed up on in the book which essentially makes the cancelled DLC into prose. Spoiler: It turns out Bahamut does it! And Noct lives! And everybody’s happy!

If you really lean into the road trip aspect, the game is beautiful. Being asked to choose a photo at the end of the game is genuinely heartbreaking when you realize what it means. The complicated relationship between Noctis and his father really hits home at the end as well.

I haven’t touched a FF game in years... which one of these twinks is the Yuna of this game? :P

“This might be a hot take, but I don’t want Persona to devolve into a dating simulator.”

Ah so while Fortnite is nearly instant to play unless it has patches, other games sometimes have patches to download that stop you from getting to them instantly.

The Mandalorian and Grogu sounds like an animated 15 minute show specifically aimed at 6 year old children.

I didn’t expect to see this set, but I was at my parents’ home when they decided to watch. (While I educate where I can, I don’t police what my family watches.) So, I sat through this before reading about it. And, I have to say, this article nails it. He sounds like an old fool; one of those guys you’ll hear in any…

I don’t know about anyone else but I legit have “Superhero fatigue”-fatigue now.

You do realize that there is a middle ground between “everything Marvel does is amazing” and “there’s some superhero fatigue so everything Marvel makes is an unsalvageable mess,” right? Yes, recently some things have been underwhelming (Quantumania, Secret Invasion), and some have underperformed (The Marvels), but…

1000% on the callout of the fucking cheapest, shittiest, hackiest impulses of these braindead dickbags making edgelord horror crap.
