Someone should make a new godzilla movie where godzilla is a metaphor for the unaffordability of housing in the US, called godzillow

they didn't even do that, they got mad the audience understood their coherent narrative in season 1 and deliberately made the storytelling more obtuse to own reddit

That's insanely dumb. Why torpedo your own story just because some people on reddit figured it out when that probably won't affect how much 99% of viewers enjoy it?

I actually think even season 1 of westworld might have been a bit stronger if they made it a little bit less focused on plot twists

I don't even understand the point in using big-name actors for voice acting cartoons. They usually aren't even very good at it.

Is that true for Kids movies? Seems like a myth

I guess they must assume that parents will be more willing to go that way? But it seems like they wouldn't be the ones deciding anyway

How do you know if you're lucid dreaming, or you're actually just dreaming about the experience of lucid dreaming?

You're actually a butterfly dreaming about dreaming about the experience of lucid dreaming

It wouldnt surprise me if this was ArenaNet. But there are a lot of game developers in Seattle.

If it wasn't just some crazy stalker pretending to be a nonexistent company and a company actually brought her in just to pull this bullshit she should name them

theres probably space for Deck Building Diablo where all of your abilities are randomly drawn and replaced as you use them

Please give me that

I'm surprised someone hasn't done that already but I guess diablo style games are quite labor intensive and deckbuilders tend to be small indie games because they are so much simpler to make so maybe nobody has thought to put those games styles together?

Not that it really has to be diablo level graphics

the maps were intensely uninteresting even by diablo clone standards

I feel like they must have had to work at that

Rinkles posted:

Haven�t played it myself, but the recently released Dream Tactics is sort of that kind of fusion of SRPG and deckbuilding.

I heard it�s not bad.

oh that looks cool

The video was capture by archive.org here: https://web.archive.org/web/20240422135355/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS_E-1SDVM0

I can't actually watch it on the page but I can download it by yt-dlp

Here's the last 60 seconds or so (because of imgur limitations) if anyone just wants to see what the gameplay looks like

It was literally called a bomb ring

Do you think that characters within the game can go into the inventory screen and see what stuff is called?

Or does it being named a certain thing rather than something like ??? imply that the character has knowledge of that name?

I knew Eiyuden Chronicles was an accurate spiritual successor to PS1 JRPGs when after I went through a mine with minecart puzzles, there was a boss where every turn i was forced to watch a crane turn agonizingly slow to drop a rock on my party every turn, if you hit the switch, the crane turns agonizingly slow in the opposite direction.

Since there are so many people making stuff like gameboy color-like games now I assume that in 10 more years people will be intentionally making FFVIII-like games where the summon sequences taking two hours is legitimately supposed to be part of the nostalgic appeal
