Fuck.

The same reason 95% of adaptions decide "Actually, people don't want an accurate adaption, people want an original thing because we're better than the original writer."

That's why most of them suck. Everyone thinks they're the exception.

Can't help but wonder if this is just about his role as Superman or if it also has to do with all the apparent friction being caused by the showrunners despising the books and games, both of which Cavill is a big fan of.

But so many people always seem to gravitate towards full pacifist their first time through, either because they already know about the game from its reputation or because they're metagaming. If I was toby, I probably would have gotten rid of the Froggit in the Ruins that implores you to SPARE enemies. Make it seem like an optional way to end battles rather than something the game wants you to always do.

This may be the best cutscene ever in a video game.

The story is actually not any worse than DMC 4

Oh wait this just in, a news was reported that a stunt actor reportedly broke a foot while performing a motion capture stunt during the game's development because Platinum studio failed to wipe a wet floor in the vicinity.

Cancel your pre-orders now. Boycott the franchise. No no, boycott the video game industry.

Story is 100% icing in these sorts of games for me - if they're good, then that's awesome, but it's worth less than 1/10 in my scoring for character action games.

In Genealogy of the Holy War, this tome grants its wielder bonuses of +10 Skill and +20 Speed,

Gotta keep in mind too that the average American is extremely uninformed about politics. I don't even mean day-to-day politics but like. The average American doesn't know how a president is elected or how long a representative serves or how a bill becomes law or that there's a difference between state senators and US senators from a particular state. It's difficult to answer the question of "are Americans okay with fascism" because very few could even tell you what that is and even less would be correct about it if they did.

So swing voters exist because some people vote randomly, or on vibes, or based on this year's propaganda or whatever. I'm not convinced that fully informed swing voters exist in any appreciable number.

Light mode, here and elsewhere

I've honestly never understood how everyone goes for Dark Mode, looking at light text on a dark screen for extended periods of time really bothers my eyes, especially if the room I'm in is at all dark

Actual issues on worker's rights are going to be set back not only thanks to Helena, but thanks to everyone that immediately jumped on her bandwagon with ZERO EVIDENCE. When will social media learn to stop assuming Twitter rants by themselves are evidence?

normalize being wrong and changing your tune

What's cool is the music in the trailer sounds totally different from recent FFs

It still feels like "Witcher 3 at home" to me. Not really getting the hype.

Fans of The Lord of the Rings can now acquire, participate, and trade in an epic living media experience that will undoubtedly surprise and delight them, said Munson. Its truly designed for a mass consumer audience, not just Web3 enthusiasts, which is why it should, and does, feel so remarkable and engaging.

Hopefully they'll preserve 90%+ of the storyline while giving the gameplay a huge makeover.

My biggest worry: aesthetic and atmosphere. Something about the PS2 "rusty" aesthetic gives SH2 character, and I'm worried that modern HD graphics will normalize things too much.

I'm not saying this isn't going to happen on at least some level because capitalism, but this is a wildly dystopian notion that would completely eliminate multiple fields of art.

This is hilariously naive.

fun twitter fact: if you click on the link, you see the entire thread, so it's stupid to post each individual tweet

I hope this does start the conversation, but the way it's going, details from this incident are going to be used as points against the VA side of things.

the plot thickens

My last job I made 9 dollars an hour.

yup and the NFL gets several million dollars to run a 30-second ad during the Super Bowl. That's how business works

From what I was reading typical wages would be several hundred an hour; I don't know how hourly VA wages vary between side characters/main characters or how much they'd depend on the VA's past work. I also have no idea about how many hours of recording it would be. From howlongtobeat it looks like Bayonetta 1 and 2 were 10-15 hour games. Like if the situation was something like ten hours of recording for $400/hr and a bigger name VA typically worked for $500/hr it certainly wouldn't strike me as a boycott situation.
