it is both a monkey and a boombox
Learned recently that in the Hello Kitty world a cat that walks on two legs is actually a person in a cat costume, as exemplified by Hello Kitty herself.

I think you can extrapolate that all anthropomorphic animals in popular culture that walk on two legs are, in fact, people in costumes.

i have never watched a hello kitty cartoon and have no conceptualization for what her voice should sound like, and so in true internet tradition i will imagine that it is done by danny devito

Holy poo poo I thought this was a joke but

quote:

"Hello Kitty emerged in the 1970s, when the Japanese and Japanese women were into Britain," said Yano.

"They loved the idea of Britain. It represented the quintessential idealized childhood, almost like a white picket fence.

"So the biography was created exactly for the tastes of that time."

So now you know - Hello Kitty lives in the suburbs of London, is approximately five apples tall and was born on 1 November. And she's certainly not a cat.

I mean the main reason why production has slowed is that Square has always tried to make the FF games cutting edge in terms of production values and presentation and that has gotten to the point where now that takes literal billions of dollars and half a decade per game, expecting things to keep the same pace as previous generations is ludicrous

Its not just that. They also don't know what direction to take the series once JRPG combat lost popularity, and have been poorly mismanaged by designers whose reach exceeds their grasp.

Tetsuya Nomura had a ton of ambitious ideas for FF versus 13, took 6 years, then dumped it to make Kingdom Hearts 3 (which was also a loving mess) and left Square with a huge debt and a shambles of a game to try to clean up.

The XIIIs had an equal number of interesting and bad ideas and I wish they'd been better able to build on the good ideas. Also I suspect Kingdom Hearts tricked them into thinking they were okay at actiony combat when really people just liked having a Disney garnish on their anime nonsense.

I love the endgame of MHW Iceborne with the Guiding Lands because I essentially become the Doom Slayer but for adorable creatures instead of vicious demons

Perpetual violence forever. I'm not even killing the animals there for any real purpose, I don't want their materials, I just want to battle, forever

In nerd spaces of any kind, he has been pretty vocal that he hates it. One time he went on a week long meltdown over women in comicbooks and trying to get his followers to gatekeep with him.
