  • Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 'Will Be Loved by Everyone', Says Director

    Jump

  • I actually completely disagree with this. I understand the sentiment, but I think the jrpg genre needs to push past it's 30+ year old roots. There are tons of games from indies to square that are still designed as turned based, but the new FF games are working towards something else. You can turn on a setting to make it more turn like, but I don't.

  • Disney Reportedly Pulls the Plug on TRON 4 After TRON: ARES Crashes at the Box Office, Is Jared Leto to Blame?

    Jump

  • That sounds a lot like what I imagine the effects workflow is these days. Copy the shit from our back catalog, outsource the nitty gritty to developing nations. Send it to the Disney mega render farm and push it to theaters or +. Rinse and repeat. Those marvel movies have a lot of effects they can pull from. So does star wars, etc. I don't think writing compelling dialogue is as easy as that, without just copying others completely at least.

  • I'm not so sure the effects cost more than paying a room of skilled writers to come up with story ideas. Not anymore.

  • Well that seems like a hot take after reading all the other opinions.

  • GRENDEL PT.2

    Jump

  • I maybe had some mixed feelings before about Grendel. But I'm not going to live this lie. I'm on team Glenda, I have always been on her side, and I will never forget that time she loaned me $20 to buy some weed. I said it and I'm not apologizing.

  • I mean, he does look like a fun little guy. Maybe we shouldn't be so suspicious of Grendel.

  • Why are you a car guy/gal?

    Jump

  • I can totally understand that, it's not cheap to drive a car. I really don't consider myself a 'car guy' but I do like to go for a drive. I like to go around corners fast, I like to find an empty country road and see where it ends. I don't think working on cars is fun, most of the time. But I do most of the work on my vehicles to save money, rarely do I add anything aftermarket.

  • GrapheneOS could break Pixel exclusivity in 2026 with major OEM deal

    Jump

  • I would assume it will, if the SoC performance is in the same ballpark. Pixels have good NPU specs but their CPU, GPU and RAM feel like mid range options compared to snapdragons. So I don't think that's a high bar to hit. I don't run graphene because I'm not buying a google phone, but I would consider running it on something else.

  • I actually think this could be it. Nokia has always been a little adventurous with their operating systems, and I think they are eager to claw back their old reputation.

  • What Happened When AI Came for Craft Beer

    Jump

  • I'm sure this has a lot to do with it, but that's exactly what I'm going on about. I'm not mad at the guys downtown that want to brew beer, or their customers. I'm mad at the stores for filling the shelves with crap I don't want to drink at home when there are plenty of great beers that get pushed to the wayside so that a mega brewery can sell a more expensive product.

  • What Happened When AI Came for Craft Beer

    Jump

  • I can't find Newcastle brown ale around me anymore, used to be one of my go-to's. Smithwicks is very hard to find, but a decade ago it was regularly on tap at bars. Rochefort is only in the smaller bottles now, can't get the big ones for sharing. I could go on, but I think that's a good start. None of these are out of production, they just aren't available in my area anymore.

  • What Happened When AI Came for Craft Beer

    Jump

  • Except import beers disappeared from my market years ago, way before the current tarrifs. Maybe something happened 10-15 years ago with tarrifs that I'm not educated about. I drink a few beers a year at this point. I want something I like, not an adventure in a bottle.

  • What Happened When AI Came for Craft Beer

    Jump

  • I agree with this. When I first started drinking I could get a beer and be pretty sure I would like it. Then the micro brews came along and pushed the IPA fad to the extreme. Now the only thing at the store is cheap ass lagers and skunky IPAs. If I wanted my mouth to taste like skunk I would smoke a joint ffs. In the last 20 years nearly all of my favorite imports are either no longer around, are almost impossible to find around me, or have gone up so far in price it's not worth it. When a local brewery actually makes something I like it's rare, and generally limited runs.
