It does seem that most non-AAA games have abandoned the drive to be photorealistic... And frankly, I welcome it.

The cost of being on the cutting edge is so huge it's just not a possibility for small time devs. I imagine it's liberating, in a way.

I don't like it when you're watching me eat.
I'm all for it, but why is Columbo popular again?

I watched it with my dad on TV whenever there was a rerun, and even when I was a kid, most of the episodes were over 20 years old. Now I see Columbo showing up in memes and fan art everywhere, and I love it. But is it just because it's on streaming and readily available now?

The idea of a working class schlub who takes down smug ceos and politicians just resonates with modern audiences for some reason

For real though, the formula where the audience sees the murder first and knows who the killer is the whole time is unique to Columbo, and it gives the audience a clear target to boo and hiss at. Every time Columbo finds a clue or asks a pointed question the audience knows that he's getting closer to the culprit, and it's fun to watch

We've seen the rich and powerful get away with so much in the last few years, it's great to see them squirm

When they made it free to watch on whatever streaming with commercials it was my first time seeing it.

He's a great character but will bend the rules/reality to make his case. At least one such case the murderer was more compelling than her victim so it was rough to watch and I stopped binging at that point.

holy loving poo poo, I watched it a few times and saw a few tiny bits that seemed a little "off", turns out that's a CGI model
https://twitter.com/giwono0708/status/1578601533310406657

if all anime cgi looked that good I don't think a single person would complain. it looks almost perfectly straight out of the 80's/90's ranma anime.

It reminds me of the animations from Arc System Works games, like DB Fighter Z, with the blur lines and squash and stretch. Neat that someone is trying that in a traditional animation.

If you look really close you can see that the black outline of the model is dithered in places that really effectively mimic the inconsistency of pen and ink thickness. It's a really neat little trick
