Jesus Christ, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth loves padding out time with "you are walking very slowly for reasons" and dated QTE-ass sequences.

@JimSterling Might I suggest giving Transformers One a watch when it's available? It has themes of class struggle, social castes, faith, body autonomy, and the danger of populist autocrats, in addition to the tragic end of a close friendship over political differences.
@LaurakBuzz Might I suggest giving Transformers One a watch? Ignore the terrible trailers, it has themes of class struggle, social castes, faith, body autonomy, and the danger of populist autocrats, in addition to the tragic end of a close friendship over political differences.
@jroberts332 You've probably heard it from lots of people by now, but I think you will be pleased by the themes in TF: One's story.
@jroberts332 I would recommend giving this two-parter a watch. Perhaps despair that 2024 was far worse than writers in 1994 could have predicted.

@jroberts332 In light of recent events, another reminder to watch Deep Space Nine. There was a season 3 2-parter about how by the 2020s, the US had evidently made homelessness illegal and rounded people up into federal "Sanctuary Districts", effectively a life sentence.

@jroberts332 Sending you a prod about Deep Space Nine. I think you would enjoy its themes of post-colonialism, a examination/critique of its franchise, and the allegories to real world imperialism/occupation events unfortunately still very relevant. It would never be made today.

@thomasthecat Uh, you should probably look a bit more closely at who tweeted that Henry Cavill WH40K video and what that person's opinions are. I mean, his handle alone is yikes

@_clivingston_ Hi, I just read your article on that PC repair shop sim. I guess it could be worse: a few years ago Tomato Gaming played that their Streamer Life sim and discovered the game somehow creepily hooked into his Twitch and used his real chat's names for the in-game chat

I hope it gets to the point that Vin Diesel has everyone involved with the Fast & Furious movies to appear with him in an awkward, uncomfortable instagram video to prove that they're bros and everything is Totally Fine behind the scenes.

An unusually large proportion of Star Trek fans on twitter are like boomers on Facebook, harvesting social media for photos and content they can repost for engagement without credits or image alt text.

@TriggerRedd Who/what determines the freedom in a loc? I praise RGG locs for natural readability in English, but I see locs (dubs especially) of games from other publishers and I wonder why the dialogue sounds/reads so oddly in EN, like they stuck too closely to the JP script.

Given most gaming people have now figured out that GTA and Yakuza are completely different kinds of games from each other, I really wish people would similarly understand that Sleeping Dogs (a GTA clone) having Asian protagonists doesn't mean it's just like Yakuza.

@TriggerRedd When considering which Japanese songs to license for the localised version of Japanese games, is marketing via content creators taken into account? In light of Yakuza Fan channel getting a copyright strike for the song used in RGG6 (which you thankfully avoided).

@GamersNexus looks like Gigabyte have so many of those unsellable P850GM power supplies in their inventory that they're trying to give them away with a purchase of their RTX 3080s:

@TriggerRedd One of the things Judgment improved over JudgeEyes was crediting all of the main voice actors in the intro, and not just the celebrities. (Hopefully you can publicly answer this given the complications since) Was there some issue that prevented this in Lost Judgment?

@trekonlinegame Heads up that there might be consistent login server timeouts for users in Australia possibly due to adverse weather conditions. I had to use the US proxy option to even get into the game.
@TriggerRedd I hadn't realised that your production gave dub voices to Yuki and Koyuki in YLAD.
*slides a giant bag marked $$$ and a large clock representing time/scheduling across the table for Sega Atlas to dub Y0 through Y6*
