Article seems to discuss short characters, but the headline indicates short players. This may not be accurate for all short players, as they likely have alternative means they consider ‘proper’ for kissing their real life loves. For one, their love might also be short, but that’s not the sole alternative.

when you’re character is tiny

That girl in the middle has the darkest, most oblong face I’ve ever seen.  

I mean the games selection this generation has been fairly underwhelming, RE4 remake, Spiderman 2, FF16 and the MGS remasters are the only games on PS5 I’m interested in getting and 1/2 of those games aren’t even original titles.

Surprised not to see this here already.

This guy needs to be sent a bill by the city for cleanup. 

Looks great. It is amazing when someone at Marvel knows how to properly use lighting, a camera and lenses, coupled with actors and a good script, a good product can result.

And I say this with all of the respect you deserve (that is to say, very little).

Adapt, sure. But artists are also struggling to have their IP rights protected, and a lot of AI training is based on outright theft, so that needs to stop.

What else doesn’t make a lick of sense is that IO9 once again offers series analysis from a writer who admits mid-article that they haven’t seen the show.

I loved it as a kid and recently watched it with my 10 year olds. They also loved it, even though it was comical to them that there was just a warehouse full of criminal teenagers smoking cigarettes and skateboarding.

Bad take is bad, feel bad.

I’ve read one “Popular on BookTok” book.

On one hand, the characters (half of whom I wanted to throttle within a short span of them appearing) were all equally capable of spouting the wordiest, faux-philosophical meaningless BS (which goes over well as a TikTok soundbite) while at the time, having a skill of…

When I wrote a novel I remember thinking “Hey, this is better than some of the stuff I read. Of course it will be published!”

Sadly, I feel this is just one more step in publishers justifying spending little to nothing on unknown/lesser known authors by hoping social media makes a book go “viral.”  It also lets publishers feel they can blame the author for not working the social hard enough. 

I have an overall positive feel on booktok, I’ve found some new favorites from the suggestions there.
The only bad for me was getting caught up in the A.P Beswick A Forest of Vanity and Valour hype, dude’s way better at marketing than he is at writing or telling a good story.

I’m surprised the big chicken below that xp farm didn’t make the top 5.
