Seems kinda weird to pay so much money for a card that was artificially made rare. They could easily print more if they wanted to, they’ve still got the files to do it. It seems like a different situation from getting your hands on something that originally had more, but now after decades, there’s only a few left.

For me, Disco Elysium is the gold standard for “game that remembers and has a response for every little thing the player does and includes voice lines for these occasions”. It’ll be interesting to see if this game can meet or exceed it. 

I’ve always admired how readily Japanese voice actors will return to play beloved characters from the past because they know it just wouldn’t be the same if they changed the voice. You’ve got someone like Megumi Hayashibara, who was more active during the 80s and 90s and doesn’t do too much voice acting these days.…

“I can’t even see what difference 60 FPS or 4K resolution make.”

“Sodomy to this new-fangled daguerreotype photography process, I say! A true artist of gentlemanly calibre, paints his pictures by the process of hand and pigment! As is God’s will!”  

The e-book “Half-Life: Alyx - Final Hours” has a TON of info on what Valve were up to post the release of Episode 3 and up to the release of Half-Life: Alyx. It’s a fascinating read.

Jesus H. Tap-Dancing Christ. If I ever get so boring and terrified of possibly experiencing something new and unexpected, I give you my express permission to shoot me in the face.

“I’d like to be under the sea. In an octopus’s kindergarten in the shade of a thermal vent.”

In response to the traffic data, a Reddit spokesperson said “we don’t comment on inaccurate data from third parties.”

Are we sure what they found isn’t actually the result of a previously dropped strawberry jam sandwich? Not gonna be a whole lot in the way of intact viscera left after an implosion like that. 

Yuri fans, do not bother with “Sasameki Koto”. The series ends right when it looks like the two characters might be getting together, leaving you with whatever the plot equivalent of blue balls is.

I haven’t seen the show myself, but I suspect you’re reading extra meaning out of the English translation. Japanese doesn’t exactly have what we in the English-speaking world would recognize as “pronouns”. Yes, there’s gendered words like “kare” and “kanojo” but these aren’t used in quite the same way nor to the same…

Fun fact, those are troll subtitles! What he said isn’t too far off, but it was actually:

Seems pretty meaningless to remove only the most pervy of pervy stuff from an otherwise still very pervy game. Do they think doing this will suddenly make it into a respectable fighting game? Seems like you’d need to do more than just alter one or two frames to accomplish that.

The problem is, it’s not just a desire to appeal to males that’s the problem, even female viewers want female characters to be physically-attractive. You can see this in how Disney princesses all have the exact same faces and are all physically-attractive. While the male characters can look all kinds of goofy and no…

A country that - lets not sit around and try to gatekeep or beat around the bush - isn’t exactly known for it’s gender parity towards women.

Ol’ Donnie will be shitting his pants with rage if he ever finds out!

Specifically, the way Spider-Verse was animated as though it was a traditional 2D animation. i.e poses that only work when viewed from a specific angle and look utterly cursed when viewed from the wrong angle.

the EPA recommends wrapping a “natural fiber shroud” around the body and adding additional weight, such as a steel chain, to make sure they stay down there.
