@_nativedev @nuhre_ @WestsideLAGuy You have to outsource your banter, holy shit. What a loser.

@nuhre_ “I hated everything about it except I had a sexual attraction to the male character” @WestsideLAGuy tear her a new one

After 2 hours and 20 minutes, I finished Mixtape and I fucking hated it. Thanks. And I’m using the term “game” extremely loosely here, because this is barely a game and honestly shouldn’t even qualify as one. You can feel that the people behind it are 40-year-olds still coping with being bullied in high school by living vicariously through these characters. It’s basically one of those interactive movies you’d get in a cereal box and “play” with your TV remote. The “gameplay” mostly consists of pushing the left stick forward or holding W. That’s it. There are QTEs, except they’re not quick, not timed, and barely even events. They’re just random optional button prompts thrown in to make it feel more “gamey” than it actually is. And the writing is fucking abysmal. Not because the characters are teens and therefore inherently cringe, but because you can tell it’s written by middle-aged people cosplaying as teenagers who think being obnoxious and a public nuisance is somehow “rad.” I’d say it was painful to play, but that would imply I actually played something. It was painful to watch. This should’ve been a low-budget animated movie five people watched once on a streaming service and immediately forgot about. “10s across the board” and “GOTY,” my ass. If you genuinely think this thing belongs in the same category as actual games, you’re delusional. You probably also think CoComelon is peak entertainment. The only redeeming quality is the soundtrack, and that’s because 99% of the music was made by actual talented artists and bands instead of the people responsible for this disaster. The writing sucked. The animation sucked. The story barely made sense. The characters were insufferable, and I didn’t care about a single one of them, except Slater, because he’s literally just my fiancé.

i’m glad people like it. i’m happy for them. but I personally have ALWAYS loathed the “games as movies” concept. I am a movie person. Movies are my preferred medium for narrative expression. somewhere along the way, people who failed as filmmakers were enabled to take their failed film ideas and convert them into mediocre narrative driven games and force feed them to people who overuse words like “masterpiece” to describe things that gave them even marginal levels of emotional resonance. i grew up with jrpgs, so it would be dishonest of me to say I wasn’t moved by the writing in many of the square games I engaged with throughout my life. but that format was more like a novel with actual robust gameplay wrapped around it, often forcing you to put in at least some level of work in order to advance the story. now we’ve reached a point where instead we’ve regressed to games having less interactive depth than the original super mario brothers for the express purpose of not letting gameplay get in the way of letting the story unfold, because that’s really the entire point of the “game”. and that’s everything wrong with this stupid trend inside the medium.

Freaks. Absolute freaks. The inability to distinguish fiction and reality is a frightening one. Luckily most people can. Unfortunately, due to the lack of intelligence accompanying the inability to distinguish fiction and reality, that also means they are quite loud. Writing evil is a matter of simply knowing the difference. Unless youre really going to die on the hill every mystery novel writer who writes serial killers is a serial killer, that the makers of pokemon want to genocide ugly and poor people…dont get me started on Alien, star wars, and others… Oh god this person cant even handle historical fables and fairytales. Low Iq, unintelligent freak. Stop engaging with fiction. You arent mature enough for it.

@VartioArtel @planefag Earth is 70% water? Build a fuckton of amphibious units!

@planefag Zeon clearly had no idea how to do ANYTHING terrestrial. They were winging it because they live in a low-gravity area and had to go off pure theory and bullshit.

Shall we continue, my brothers? Planefag Anime Review Thread, Gundam 79 Two - Amuro Boogaloo! As always, the uninterested should mute this thread so it won't spam their timelines. The addicted should strap in. The sane should flee this website. Etc.

@Vanmak3D @Lunneyses I like to think of it that Yumeko doesn't really throw swords, she manifests them and propels them with just magic. Yep. If Sakuya is DIO, Yumeko is Glgamesh.

@Lunneyses typical yumeko fanon: -Longer maid costume -Way longer hair even than the sprite -Huge swords instead of small knives -Bigger bust than Sakuya, padded or not. Yep, that checks out. You are right. (I am sure the last one was added as a joke on the general theme)

The best part about Yumeko is that her powers are so ambiguous that fans gives her spatial powers to clash with Sakuya's time Since Yumeko is Shinki's strongest creation and based on the strongest human of the Outside World, Yumeko must "somehow" be superior to Sakuya

👀I had the opportunity to draw KV for Advent ASMR voice pack: A Very Adventurous Sleepover !! Thank you so much for trusting me! I'm so happy to be able to draw cutie girls.

Roger Ebert tragically failed us by not doing a better job of convincing filmbros to just ignore video games.

@SilasReinagel @tomfgoodwin They're starting to get enshittified themselves too at this point.

@tomfgoodwin AI Agents can help peel back the enshittification that most popular softwares inflicted on their users... they don't stop the core rot

Wouldn't it be great if you could use an agent to book a flight? No, wouldn't it be great if your website was fast and easy to book a flight from ---- Wouldn't it be great if an agent could do grocery shopping online for you. No, wouldn't it be great if your regular purchases were easier to add, and sponsored suggestions didn't keep replacing what you want and online shopping was fun. ---- Wouldn't it be great if agents did all our marketing automatically. No, Wouldn't it be great if AI automated some elements, but most were done with AI augmenting the process, helping us make informed decisions and humans were always in the loop,

@Lewchube @SmilodonnaVT Watercolor has a certain texture to it that is hard to replicate digitally. The way it stains the paper is very characteristic.

tbh Red's Masters model has a lot of small issues I've mentioned before but even if they were fixed for a full game, the shading feels like a blurry imitation of his lighter palette from that era they also rly lack Sugimori's distinct lineart from his watercolor work in 3D, something I can't imagine in 3D with his rougher lines from the 2000s x.com/Lewchube/statu…

honestly the ideal modern Pokemon game aesthetic is Sugimori's mid-2000s key art but idk how you'd translate his lineart or shading to 3D
