Generally really enjoy your writing Chris, but this is a terrible article.

I am thankful that Officer Gaston was well-trained, highly disciplined, and level headed. I think most of us in this situation would not been able to keep their composure and someone would have ended up dead. I wish all officers had his professionalism. Think about how many situation would have been de-escalated…

Did you miss where I said they’re different modes of representation and conflating them is a weak argument?

Brian: “There is no mention of “reduction”, “shrinking” or even redesigning the character, because Nomura didn’t say that.”

Conflating two distinct modes of realism makes your counterargument flimsy. There are fantasy/sci-fi elements that are surreal, and then there are basic rules of proportion and animation. Conflating sexualization and plot makes no sense.

Uggg, so often I find this argument silly, it’s like when people were criticizing things that didn’t make sense about GOT “Well it’s a world with dragons, so none of it’s real anyway, so it’s stupid to criticize boats that teleport without explanation”.

So the problem you’re describing is a engine performance parameter called Brake Specific Fuel Consumption, or BSFC. Different engines have different levels at different pressures and RPM ranges. You’ll typically see BSFC graphs displaying Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP) on the vertical axis, and RPM on the…

She nailed snark, tbh

Bonus points for sending out the world-wide “assassinate John Wick” message on a VIC 20.

I’d call it worth it for the Pigeon Shit Theatre restaging of Neo and Morpheus Enunciate Again.

Man, kill me now. I can’t even watch that part anymore. I always skip ahead to when the retribution starts.

I am imagining thought bubbles over these two:
