Step 1: Put elation characters in the same party.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Big number.

A reminder that much of KT's monetary success comes from financial asset/investment management, all helmed by Kou Shibusawa's wife, Keiko Erikawa.

Automaton's previous report noted a community adage calling KT "an investment company disguised as a game company.": automaton-media.com/en/news/koei...

Years later it was also mentioned, out of like the 8 or so top players they consulted and tested their 10-year anniversary update, that he only trusted one player to give immediately directly useful balancing advice.

FIGHT ON: The Killer Instinct Story (Documentary) YouTube video by Hold Back to Block

I always think of this story of how they balanced Killer Instinct and how they had to fight through loud angry opinions and an example where the player feedback was extremely wrong about the issue. (Timestamped) youtu.be/ks4eZoG94Vs?...

At least she was almost self-sufficient character-wise because she was a new archetype of HP, adding the specific characters afterwards just made her more ridiculous.

That they don't remotely support with enough random ones added either. Remembrance when it came out also had the double-whammy of often being a bunch of characters who wanted entirely different things, so the few ones that did exist didn't work with HP-based Castorice for example.

Beth worked as a doctor for years until a transphobe turned up. Now, she's had to leave her job, leave her home, move to the other side of the world and is still being hounded and harassed by the media and cult.

She did nothing but exist as trans in the orbit of Sandie Peggie.

That's what that means?!
What have people got wrong with diagetic? It's not like that one makes anymore sense!

Probably, as a lot of games do this, just way easier to not have to record a whole chunk of lines twice when it otherwise doesn't really matter if you can pick either or and it doesn't really affect anything else.

Vira: Wait, so she writes you songs, you frequently exchange gifts, and you sleep in the same bed...

Vira: ...But you're not certain she has feelings for you?

Meg: But what if she's just being nice?

i do not "predict". i do not "run calcs", i do not "mindgame", i do not know "speed tiers" i click TRICK ROOM. and if it doesnt work, I DON'T WIN

A lot of the orc extras were just the New Zealand military and this was sometimes a problem when they got carried away being in the back of fight scenes.
There's also incredible clips of the two guys whose job was to put the plastic chainmail together. They spend the whole two years doing this.

teaaaa

Unfortunately the whole "fighting against getting run out of your home by increasingly aggressive landlording tactics so they can turn it into holiday lets" is taking up a lot of his time in the past couple years I imagine.

speaking of cool cheap effects: the shadow from the ceiling fan in Robo Recall is not a real shadow or even a light function or even a decal, it's a rotating translucent mesh

For some reason it doesn't include the different coloured hair they used one time for it.

That's the one, so you effectively have another hit you can take in a lot of situations.

This made me check and turns out I'm only one off of having the full set.

As I'm cheap I've been a HyperX Cloud 3 user to replace my Cloud 2s which were like a decade old and I dropped one too many times. Its sins are the pleather usage more than anything (the 2s had fabric covers so I wonder if they exist for the 3...) Even the microphone is actually decent!

Gotta set up some mines!

Certainly doesn't help unexpected fighting game motion input controls isn't what many would be down for and they're basically like learning to the concept of video game controls all over again.

would like to have a wee little word with all the people who said everyone was overreacting to the california OS age signal legislation

This is kinda fascinating, up until my breakup a few years ago, I still owned the Jansport I used in high school (so it was 20+ years old) and it was perfectly well-made. Now I own a Baboon on the Moon and that's been better than even the Chrome bag I had

its so cool that literally every job now is understaffed by 30-50%. its great because i didnt want whatever it was done well or with any care at all. but please keep raising prices anyway

I was wondering if a lot of people bounced off of it because they may have gone too hard on the protagonist being a dolt.
Partly because Reverse: 1999 announced it's their next crossover event (the first one being Assassin's Creed) and from my limited knowledge of Atomic Heart it's like "why?"

Baby Steps Developers React to 7 Minute Speedrun YouTube video by IGN

somehow baby steps is such an incredible piece of art that it consumes related media and brings them into the work itself. two recent examples.

It does sound it's got a weird Dragon's Dogma-esque grab bag of stuff but even more random things you can do for no clear reason.
Also more like fighting games inputs than anything.

54% - That's the percentage of translators (out of 235 respondents) who only receive minimal or no reference material whatsoever for the games they're working on.

Remember that figure next time you read a translation that sounds off in context!
