That’s a shame but I could see the jank reaching out to me from the trailers. I love team Ninja but it seems like they bit off way more than they can chew.

The biggest issue that I find with fandom are creatives that are unwilling to do anything more than please the fans, and the fans themselves who don’t want anything different and just want the same shit repackaged in a slightly different way.

The chief example is Star Wars, a show that is stuck regurgitating the same…

So is making statements like that. Why say anything at all if you’re just trying to annoy people?

Working for your own standards can be, if not, inevitably the healthier choice as fandoms become increasingly toxic over time with a successful IP product that you find yourself involved with the development with. Sometimes, it’s better to get your ideas and visions out there with a sense of satisfaction than trying…

Jesus, that’s good. You deserve all the stars and a tip of the cap.

I guess he was the White Power Ranger all along, huh.

No, what SBI said is that companies come to them for an extra polish, as well as consultation for their already existing characters to see if they read properly (this even includes a finnish company like Remedy checking that their white male american character consistently comes across as intended)

Saga being a Black woman is perfectly integrated into the story and even adds to the story during an early investigation scene.

A few times in the early seasons I felt like the show actually integrated Bobby and the home decor stuff into the show in ways that mattered. Don’t get me wrong, the renovations he did were very well done the vast majority of the time. He does great work, and I thought that most of the time he did well to adjust his…

Honestly I had been hoping they’d replace him with something besides a home designer, because the show had this weird break between actionable assistance that viewers could follow along with (dress in better colors, get a haircut, talk to a therapist, wash your face) and then humming along in the background would be…

Yeah it was really funny re: Bobby being given such a short shrift. Like essentially if you go on Queer Eye the real prize is a fucking 5-figure home renovation lol. Everything else is gravy.

Some of these dynamics aren’t that shocking—it was clear pretty much by season 2 or 3 that the “best friends” thing was a schtick. They’re coworkers. And that’s fine! Sometimes coworkers get petty. Not particularly shocked that JVN is all drama and not as sunny off screen, but it’s disappointing to hear how bad it…

I’m convinced that film execs and producers don’t know the difference between a good film and a bad one, they simply see them as the sum of their parts.

“Doing his part to." Wordplay! Used to be a popular thing here.

They’re not indigenous or one race even. The film clearly shows this white savior is a dangerous, destructive, person.

“...Dune his Part Two...” -> “...doing his part to...”

Rocksteady built the Arkham games around the idea of Batman. How does he fight, how does he operate, what’s his arsenal, his go-to strategies? They started with the character and built the gameplay around that.

I’m a little baffled WB apparently still had so much resting on this game being successful despite the very earned hate it received every step of the way, especially when it was revealed as a live service.

That fistfight at the end of MGS4 is one of the best sequences in all of gaming. From the score to the health bars changing to tell the history of the franchise that led us to this moment. Brilliant.

Comparing Suicide Squad to Hogwarts Legacy is like listening to the sales team leaders where I work comparing advertising sales from major election years to years without elections and then expecting the same results.

Utter foolishness, just like the idea everything must be driven by ever increasing sales at all cost.
