they probably will remove the platforming from the remake though. depending on how close it'll play to mp3 i'd imagine it wouldn't really even be feasible to put that stuff in since mp3 removed the normal jump button. though as much as having good shooting is the one compliment i'd give 3 i, kinda hope they don't stick that close to it cause it still doesn't really feel very max payne-esque to me, not cause of cover shooting or w/e i just don't like adding the weapon limit or all the scripted cinematic bits it's got. would prefer they stick with all gameplay having you in full control of your max like the first two

I used to live literally next door to a corn field. Stuff stinks to high heaven during the spring when they apply the fertilizer.

Yeah, the part of the country that's nothing but cornfields for miles really stinks. Corn has a mild scent on its own but there's just so much of it that the scent becomes thick in the air. Driving through a paper manufacturing town smells awful too but I vastly prefer that because at least it isn't as overwhelming.

ANFO smells like ammonia when you can smell it at all, most farmers aren't spreading poo poo on their fields because there literally isn't enough poo poo to go around.

You can practically taste the despair that hangs thick from the animals kept penned up in feedlots. Unfortunately for them, my ethics don't consider meat animals to be a peoples so I routinely ignore their suffering.

I finished the Scott Pilgrim books, they were Okay but I do genuinely like how the end stretch has (book/anime spoilers) Gideon telling Scott/Ramona they were still boned because they were their own worst enemies, which huh, definitely was super relevant to Scott Pilgrim Saves The World, where Scott Pilgrim is literally his own worst enemy and Ramona isn’t exactly her own best friend.

i used to live nearby Hershey and on a good wind day it would blow in the smell of chocolate from the chocolate plant and make the air smell like brownies which was always dope, and then on a bad wind day it would blow in the smell of the other kind of brownies from the farmland nearby. always a gamble

I had to laugh this afternoon. My brother has one of those brains where if it's the first time he's discovered something it obviously means it's the first time anyone has ever heard of a thing. Today he was telling me that I should check out this obscure album he'd just discovered called Bitches Brew. It's like he forgot that I took an entire year of music undergrad before switching my major.

got an in-the-weeds question about animation studios since i started getting back into anime last year pa works has put out four shows i either loved or really liked - ya boy kongming, akiba maid war, buddy daddies, and skip and loafer. it's making me wonder about how much the studio affects the quality of the show - is it like game devs where different teams work on stuff but every studio/publisher is going to have a certain "feel" and standard of quality (so like, nintendo's mainline poo poo is a pretty safe bet to be good, ubisoft's going to put out mediocre map dot open world games, etc), or is it directors that matter more like keiichiro saito going from cloverworks to madhouse while doing bocchi to frieren? or is there an entirely different dynamic?

Southern Cassowary posted:got an in-the-weeds question about animation studios Depends on the studio. A lot of the anime industry is contractors moving from production to production, so generally you do want to look at the staff more than anything else. There are a handful of studios that have more in-house talent though, KyoAni very notably has every staff member as a full-time employee.

studios are more about production cycles and what talent they have good relations with, as well as what they tend to get tapped to adapt, than the overall quality of the show in a vacuum. a lot of studios do tend to have a 'house style,' but that's more typecasting than the result of them having a dedicated staff who does those things. like doga kobo is known for moe shows, but thats because they had a long string of adapting kirara manga time stuff, so they got approached with more stuffi n that wheel house since theyd proven they could do it, etc. same with, say, mappa and flashy shonen.

Studios can be structured into sub-studios or teams, obviously more of a thing with larger or long-lived ones. I don't feel like it comes up as commonly outside of a few like Sunrise, Bones, Cloverworks coming into being from A-1 etc. and just following staff gets you about the same result. WRT studio identity I feel like the main thing is even examples that easily come to mind like KyoAni have both developed into their style as well as shifted it over time. You have other studios that have undergone significant change like MAPPA or Science Saru, because that's often natural when leadership changes.

i think that i just enjoy what pa works has been typecast as recently, then (getting some quirky action originals and slice-of-life adaptations) i suppose the bigger question, then, is how do y'all end up deciding what to watch? i kind of just shotgun stuff by watching pvs on mal currently and dropping anything that doesn't grab me quickly and also keep an eye out for cool word of mouth stuff i passed on (like mygo). are you actively going "i like this director/staff" and watching their stuff?

Southern Cassowary posted:got an in-the-weeds question about animation studios it varies a ton. some of the more established and reputable studios have the ability to be pickier about what types of stuff they make since they get more stuff pitched to them e.g. PA Works makes a lot of original anime and a lot of dramas, bones makes a lot of action and sci-fi shows, etc. and thats probably coming from studio leadership wanting to stick with what theyre good at and build a brand around it. but the individual projects are down to their respective staff. the main unusual thing about PA Works is that they're located in the middle of loving nowhere (Nanto, Toyama prefecture. look it up on a map) whereas most studios are in Tokyo. so that maybe means they have a bit more of an in-house culture than other studios might since no ones gonna work there unless they really want to work for PA Works specifically. but still there's a lot of outsourcing on their recent shows.

It's fun to follow staff sometimes, but I think seasonals are basically vibes-based and since I in general follow anime/manga news there's always a low hum of promotional material about things to build an impression off of. I was interested in Bullbuster from just the initial announcement with character visuals and stuff, while something like Kingdoms of Ruin I only grabbed on seeing a PV and liking the character designs. Also would've been much later into Overtake! if I didn't have an incredibly vague blood pact to groupwatch shows about sports and/or pretty boys each season. With adaptations you've already got reputation from that to judge, ignoring how varied quality can be (cross that bridge when you come to it).
