“More likely, the real reason Capcom decided to be a coward and not age Jill alongside her male costars is that in pop culture there’s nothing scarier than women aging like normal human beings.”

She could get a boyfriend if her personality was less off-putting, and she knows it. Despite this, she refuses to change who she is. She’s not the bore. It’s everyone else who’s in the wrong.

To be fair, the only aspect of the game that seems to actually take place in the 1800s is the lore’s placement on the canon’s timeline.

How anyone working on or even remotely involved in this game couldn’t predict the reaction the public would have to seeing it in action, as depicted in that game play reveal is beyond me.

Probably too little, too late to make this game an interesting single-player experience with depth and story, like the Guardians of the Galaxy game. To take all of the looter-shooter elements out of the game would probably ruin the whole thing (even moreso).

I guess I always thought this was an exaggeration.

Here’s my regular reminder that you people have a problem with capitalism, not a problem with technology. All this pearl clutching over displaced artists completely misses the point that in a just world, the artists could continue to make their art without the threat of poverty and new technology like this wouldn’t…

Ah yes, Battle Chasers. I remember getting really into it when it first came out… then they invented internet porn and I kinda lost interest for a while….

I dream of an alternate reality where Ubisoft released a direct sequel to BG&E in 2006 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. It was a single-player game featuring Jade and Pey’j as playable characters and had a combination of unique, linear levels and open hubs and lasted about 20 hours if you went for 100% completion. In…

The problem is there isn’t really such a thing as “true imagination”. Every creative work is ultimately just remixing the creators own experiences, knowledge, and influences. AI can’t go beyond it’s dataset for the same reason we can’t, doing so just produces nonsense and noise. We need to have a conversation about…

This really feels like one of those “things are going to get much worse before they get better” situations and God knows that’s probably the best way to describe this decade so far. I think about all the people who have poured their heart and soul into creating only to get rejected for one reason or another, but keep…

Cashiers are getting their jobs stolen by self checkout kiosks, manufacturing workers are being replaced by robots and now voice actors are being replaced by AI. Technology in general is coming for a lot of people's jobs and I don't know what can be done but voice actors don't deserve special treatment over any other…

I’m going to quickly hide under my desk after typing this, but ... it doesn’t look horrible?

At what point does it become obvious that “AI” is neither sentient nor intelligent, but just a plagiarism engine scraping content off the walls of the Internet? 

And they’d be right to, because those panels were designed to look good as cartoons, not as live action. A good live action adaptation of One Piece would be smart enough to know what stuff to change or remove, because One Piece is an unusually cartoony series even by manga standards, and some stuff in there is just…

It’s got no hope. It could be a Shot for Panel recreation of the manga and fans will still rake it over the coals.

Also... boob size. Would be terrifying if brought into live action.

It’s still bonkers to me that this got a live-action show. Here’s hoping for the best, although they’d better be really careful about not being too literal in porting over stuff that looks great in animation but awful in live-action (which can include a lot of costumes).

So you just go and murder a whole camp one night and show up to herbology the next morning and everyone’s just okay? Fine not to have a morality system as they are rarely implemented interestingly enough to warrant their inclusion, but this will easily surpass GTA IV levels of ludonarrative dissonance. 

We really just can’t have nice things, can we.
