wasn't that tranny only a tranny by nature of their voice in the english and german dubs? from what i understand in those languages its a mans voice but in the other languages its a womans voice
so someone who plays in another language has no idea and someone who is deaf would also have no idea
I decided to look at the collections for skyrim on nexus mods recently (I bought lifetime premium years ago before a lot of the woke shit so its not like they get more money out of me) looking for one with all the textures and graphics enhancing mods
its all fucking porn mods
gigabytes of porn
i cannot actually find a collection that has the intention of making your game run at 10 fps through graphics mods
oh yeah so many isekai just forget why they even exist after the first few chapters
if i wanted generic fantasy i would go for generic fantasy
only thing worse is when a good series just ends abruptly (either by death of the author or something else)
dunno about best but theres an absolute crap load of really shit isekai that i keep reading
i will read the blurb go "oh no this sounds like an absolute dumpster fire" and then read it
some are great in their terribleness some are actually good and then some are just really bad, There was one i read recently about some guy who can talk to dragons and he got kicked out of his S rank guild because he cares about the dragons or something, the author appears to want to fuck the dragons and thats bad enough but it is also one of those isekai that goes a bit like this;
something happens to hero that sees them go at it alone (kicked out of guild)
thing happens to hero that gives them a bonus of some sort
thing happens to hero that gives them a bonus of some sort
thing happens to hero that gives them a bonus of some sort
thing happens to hero that gives them a bonus of some sort
theres no actual character or plot progression the hero just keeps coming across things that help them the hero has basically no reaction or struggles to anything they are just meandering through the "plot"
then there are the ones where the hero can summon things from another world somehow where the hero goes oh no i must be careful and then summons a fucking digger and tosses around guns and compound bows like candy while destroying the entire economy (but i just want to live a peaceful life)
oh almost forgot there are also the ones where our hero ends up with a broadcast device and tells the kingdom how to fix its shit and everyone be like "OH MY GOD A COMMON SENSE SOLUTION THIS GUY IS TEH BEST!!!!1111!!!!". some of the "fixes" tend to be in the massive shake up of how things work at a societal level type solutions and everyone just goes along with it with basically no pushback because the authors self insert is just such a galaxy brained gigachad
not sure how many of these are made worse by bad translations mind
amongst those hower you might find a polished turd or you might even find gold
i swear i had more of a point when i started writing this comment but i have written it now
i think that was the first anime i watched completely never watched it a second time (i have a great difficulty re-watching anything) it was very good (and the music hajime mizoguchi did for it is top tier i especially like "gloria" and that bright and clear horn half way through)
the use of things like ACT in FFXIV are more a "you can't use it but we can't know you are using it so just don't talk about it or use it against someone" thing so if you complain about someones low DPS you are probably using ACT that is against the rules therefore ban
as for chat I dunno my 1.0 characters ended up on the JP servers for some reason so when i did play it was on the JP servers, different regions will have different moderation teams and the american moderation team is probably all jannies because who else wants to moderate game chat
I thought it was Voyage of the dawn treader that failed (I don't even remember watching that film now that I think about it)
wasn't part of the issue that there were some writers strikes as well?
I vaguely remember they wanted the actors to be the right age for their characters as they played them so there was going to be a few years between films anyway (the horse and his boy takes place between the defeat of the white wich and the end of the lion the witch and the wardrobe) but i think the strikes and dawn treader doing bad stopped all that
I remember the 1989 prince caspian BBC TV adaptation being OK (if really low budget and its obvious half the cast are people in fur suits). Never saw wardrobe dawn treader or silver chair though
someone in my year at university (not an american university) was doing something on twitter and AI and needed to scrape a bunch of information from twitter directly though its public APIs
a few days before he said he would have been finished and ready to let his system do its thing elon/twitter banned exactly what he wanted to do (and i think the API was changed to prevent it as well)
so driving the AI farms to pay him or something kind of tracks
many bathhouses have been complaining about the gays fucking where they shouldn't
despite it not technically being legal to do so most love hotels will refuse service to the gays (apparently cleanup is a bitch, who'da thunk it?)
as someone who has had to do a group presentation on doom and decided to do their section on the limitations of doom and why they might exist compared to similar games of the time
oh boy is that a rabbit hole and some of the choices they made are very interesting
for example the majority of collisions are calculated using only X and Y values, the only things that take into account the Z height of anything are projectiles (rockets etc)
now if you think about it there's not a whole lot of long-lived projectile spam in doom but there is a lot of mobs that are going to be constantly checking collision and 2D collisions are computationally cheaper than 3D collisions
its not 100% but i'm fairly certain the mostly 2D collisions are entirely because of optimisation reasons
Hogwarts has a trans character that isn't a joke character in it
literally the only thing that says that character is trans is the voice (voice actor is a man)
but only in English and german
every other language that character is voiced by a woman so anyone playing in those languages would have no idea that they are supposed to be "trans"
a simple AI voice re-dub completely removes that characters "trans-nes" from the game
small town near where i grew up had a newsagents and greengrocer ran by an indian couple and probably the only indians for miles
nice people you could have a good conversation with them and they obviously liked being in the country and were adjusting to our way of life i don't think anyone in the town or surrounding villages had a bad word to say against them
indians in the city on the other hand were usually massive cunts in one way or another I learned very quickly if you want service and a friendly face you stay away from any shop that looks to be ran by people from inidia and surrounding countries
in a game with friends, I played a battlesmith artificer whose steel defender was a chair with many tiny legs that carried him around
he spoke with an odd accent wore tinted glasses and a leather glove on his right hand and he occasionally looked like he was wrestling with his right arm
it never got to it but I said to my friend who was DMing if this character ever dies please make sure it's in a giant explosion with the time for him to say one thing
I don't think anyone knew what I was referencing with this character though
given his accent he is probably second third or even fourth generation immigrant
