I was the thinking the exact same thing!

I wish you wouldn’t have to. It does not seem fair that you’re in that situation. Just like I think that your father should’ve been paid well enough to put a roof over your heads working one job.

I agree that if he’s trying to make a point it’s not easy to see. However, the comment kind of got me, as someone who know very little about the inner workings of computerz and c0d1ng, exactly how much of a game’s size is... well, the thing that tells the game how to work and how much is textures and audio and…

900 billion? Isn’t that an awful lot of dollars? Shouldn’t it be 900 million dollars? I might be wrong here, as soon as Japanese numerals hit oku-territory I always end up confusing myself.

I think you should. It’s a great show.

(spoiler alert)

So because someone is addicted to alcohol I can’t have a beer every now and then?

Ok. This is perhaps beside the point, but the clicks in those languages are not extraverbal. They are simply a set of consonants within those languages, just as English has different types of consonants.

It is understandable why someone would make the choice to use a language that uses clicks if they wanted to make an…

It really annoys me when people want a group of people striking to start talking about their problems instead. Of course the voice actors are fighting their fight and complaining “but what about us?” to the VAs is just pointless, programmers should say “what about us?” to the companies. Also, it’s not their job to…

While their demands are completely reasonable I guess that’s the nature of bargaining. It’s rare to get all you want, and sometimes you need to make concessions as well.

No matter what, good for the VA that they did this and took a step towards improving their working conditions. Go you them!

Ah, but see. That’s not have capitalism works. You (I don’t mean you-you, just a general you) do not get to decide what someone is worth. It’s supply and demand.

Also, “they can’t”... I don’t think any developer would just fire all their programmers if they went on strike at the same time. Think about the disruption to…

My guess is that it wouldn’t necessarily be cheaper, a lot of the world outside of the states has stronger unions and higher pay. Perhaps not the UK, which would probably be one of few realistic alternatives*, if a game company would like decent English speaking voice actors.

*I’m well aware that many other countries…

What you’re telling me is that the person that commits at most 20 hours of their time—paid and compensated already—deserves more than the entirety of the staff that spent two hellish years of their lives crafting the entirety of the experience?

Well, the Swedish equivalent of the n-word (though spelled and pronounced a little different) really isn’t considered ok to use here, and hasn’t been for a long time. And I hardly think Pewdiepie, or very few swedes at all for that matter, can claim ignorance of the cultural context of the n-word in the USA.

So many baffling choices were made.

One of my pet peeves with the game was the lack of customization of your squadmates.

It’s like they completely ignored the lessons learned in DA:O -> DAII -> DA:I and ME -> ME2 -> ME3. Both series had full customization in the first installment, almost removed it completely in the…

Too bad. I think they could’ve have really saved the tarnished reputation of Mass Effect and Andromeda had they stuck to the title, developed (great) DLC and continued the support. That would really have shown that they cared for the fans and the franchise, and could’ve gotten many players back to the game. Just think…

Ah, yes. Macross. I loved that series and the look of the Veritech fighter.

I would add Starscream to the list of things that made the F-14 the archetype of jet fighters in my mind. Although I think he’s based on another jet to my 14-year old self they looked similar enough to be the same plane.

I judge all other…

That version of Kefka is percetion perfected!

I’m not sure what your are trying to say here. Do you mean that you need to have kids to care about someone else, and thus, if you don’t have kids you’re stuck in an eternal state of teenage?

A engine for another, you’re really just trading one set of problems for a new set of problems, many of which you now lack the training and experience with the new engine to forsee.
