If the only thing keeping your teenagers alive is that you don’t use Tide pods in your home, I’m sorry to tell you that they are fucked.

I would like a jaeger that is also a plane please.

That sounds like one of the best uses of VR I’ve ever heard of. Kudos to you for your kindness.

This , this, and more this. When we talk about “personality” or “charm” I feel like the character models have a ton to do with how the player perceives the characters’ personalities and I really feel like the limitations of the hardware in the past forced developers to come up with creative ways to express emotions.…

This sucks.

Discussing “personality” in a JRPG is a pretty loaded concept. We could be talking about how the music fits the game, if the characters are cool, if the battle system is slick, or the quality of the writing or plot progression.

I agree entirely, but atleast they had the decency to put out this statement with full honesty and a breakdown as to why the delay happened. I appreciate the openess, even if this should have been figured out beforehand. And I think we can all agree that it’s better that they realize they need to make core programming…

Yeah, it’s actually how you get straight people to buy them too. I ate up the great stuff with Apollo and Midnighter because it was good. When you write good stories with characters who just happen to be minorities of any kind people will buy it.

You want the honest answer? You just write good stories. You don’t write stories about a character’s blackness or gayness or transgenderness or whateverness. Avery Brooks of DS9 made this point remarkably when he was asked about playing a black captain on Star Trek. He said he wasn’t there to play a BLACK captain. He…

Lol, the Kirk Picard thing. I actually pissed off a English Lit professor when I made the statement that lit research papers were absolutely a waste of time. She said ,” Ok, convince me right now and you get an A with no paper to turn in”. My instant response was , “ A lit research paper was just like a bunch of nerds…

“Except, at some point, the movies have to move away from the “legacy of Anakin Skywalker”

I’m talking about what I personally want, not what the market would support.

It’s not THAT ambitious. Not unlike certain other things.

Poor you, thinking you would get ahead of a kid with just that. Nope, they be like

That would be hilarious. Like the, what was the wording(?) for TLJ? ‘subversion-of-expectations’? Have aaaall the Solo stories play out in the first 5-8 minutes, Han then says “Who knew we could do all that in a day, huh Chewie? AND manage to find this nifty yellow jacket?” Cut to opening credit. The rest of the…

That’s... a reasonable explanation. Okay. I’ll accept that.

They probably have much smaller staffs, and showrunners who want to oversee every step of production. And they’re not using shortcut/cheap animation like South Park is.
