    Would there really be that much of a difference between the A and G? They're not a Hornet/Super Hornet situation... right?

    Apparently there's a graphical bug, though. Or, well... Anyway, outside of the first reactor mission, it seems that in outdoors areas the game has a habit of loading in low-res textures and skybox/matte paintings. This isn't an asset streaming/LOD issue, which does also exist. But the streaming issue is common to all UE4 games, and most modern games in general. Objects eventually resolve into higher-resolution textures if you stand by them for long enough. But low-res textures that stick around makes it seem like they're the actual default textures that SE went with. The flowers in Aerith's house are probably the most noticeably low quality. You'll get cinematic camera angles that really focus on them, and they're... they stand out. It might be a graphical bug, which might be patched out eventually. Maybe just an LOD setting wasn't set right or something. For skyboxes... maybe the same thing? It might also be evidence that the game was being worked on with PS5 in mind. The higher bandwidth RAM and SSD of the PS5 means higher-quality textures and backgrounds can be streamed in more quickly. In order for them to get the same game running on PS4, they would have to scale back heavily on the data streaming, meaning much lower-quality textures as the default. That's my theory, anyway. Maybe if they hadn't put so much effort into modeling every pore of the main character models...

    This is just a bit of random Star Wars trivia that popped up in an otherwise unrelated video, figured you might like it. Video should start right where it needs to, but in case it doesn't, the timestamp is 4:49.

    Well, while we're on the subject of FFVII: The video gets some details wrong, but otherwise it's a pretty neat video if you have... an hour and a half to spare. I have zero faith in Tetsuya Nomura and modern Square's ability to match the storytelling of the original game, and from what I've seen of the Remake, they truly lived down to my expectations.

    You joke, but... Now obviously she doesn't die, this game is just up to the point where they leave Midgar. What could possibly warrant spoiler warnings in this first 10% of the story, right?

    If any of you have FF7R on preorder, be careful to avoid spoilers. They were delivered early to Aussie(/UK?) customers due to The Troubles.

    Hm... Figure I'll ask here in case anyone can point me in the right direction. There was a super robot anime released a couple years ago apparently that had, during its climactic event, cameos from a bunch of other super robot shows. They may have been in silhouette or something, but they showed up and did their signature attacks or something, and it was very obvious what they were. There was even a Gipsy Danger expy there. I don't know where such a scene might have come from, or even if that's really what happened, it was just something I heard on a podcast. Anyone know of anything in recent years that might fit that description?

    Checked out Beastars on a whim. I'd heard some of the hubbub about it but it didn't really seem like the thing for me, but I figured eh I just finished Castlevania, may as well right? And like four hours later I'm writing this in a rush because holy cow that was a great watch. The character work is the absolute best part about the show, all the little nuances that each character exhibits. Before checking it out, a lot of the discussion I was hearing centered on how it catered to the furry crowd, what with the anthropomorphized animals and all, and to be sure the anthro sexuality is pretty brazen, but even if that's a major concern of yours there are so many other good things about the show that you'll grit your teeth and power through it. Really good. I was actively watching it from start to finish (which sadly is more than can be said for some bits of Castlevania season 3), highly recommended.

    http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossplus/macrossplus-index.html That's probably the best we've got. You'll have to do some sleuthing through all of them to see which ones fit your criteria, but IIRC the list should be pretty thorough.

    I thought the prequels laid it on pretty HEAVILY that Anakin was a Christ figure, especially with the whole prophecy thing and Sidious's stupid immaculate conception story and all. Not sure how you could see it any other way. IIRC Qui-gon asks her who Anakin's father, ie birth father, was, and she replies, "There WAS no father," which on retrospect, yeah, she was a slave, and it's not out of the question that there's a different connotation to her words, but... follow-up signs don't really point in that direction.

    World War 84, yikes. Can't imagine how WWs 3 through 83 have changed the world...

    Hey, just a quick question. Way back when: Was the Kairos and/or Siegfried's ISC rating ever confirmed in any way? I can't be bothered to go back through multiple pages of multiple threads to check.

    I've never liked "lightsaber-proof" weapons either, but they were in Star Wars long before the sequel trilogy. Vibroblades and other weapons in KotOR, those double polearm things in RotS... Personally, I like to think there are materials that are lightsaber-resistant rather than lightsaber-proof. Bang on them long enough with a lightsaber and they'll eventually melt, too. I also like to think that lightsabers were originally industrial tools that were repurposed into weapons, but were too dangerous for anyone without the precognitive abilities of a Jedi. But eh, I'm sure the canon has been able to come up with something much, much stupider. For the most part, I quite liked the lightsaber fights of TLJ, and in retrospect several of the Rise of Skywalker ones were pretty creative, too. Just that last one was... underwhelming, to say the least.

    I've long learned not to put too much stock in "scale" when it comes to Eva. The absolute size is helpful, though.

    The VF-11 is a relatively new mold, isn't it? It's certainly nowhere near as ancient as the tried and true VF-1.
  18. kajnrig
    It really is.

    I'd imagine it at least builds more easily and sturdily than the earlier model, though, no? Which still looks great but has an of its time janky loose construction. IIRC it's still about half the price of the new Ver Ka, though, so... two of the same design for the same money? Not bad at all.

    There was a MB Quanta Full Saber, right? What are the chances the Full Saber can be detached from its arm and the Exia's shield installed in its place? Or perhaps replace the backpack of either the Quanta/Exia with the one from the Full Saber. Seems it would be a simpler albeit expensive solution to the problem. I mean personally I love the Quanta's asymmetry, but I can see why people wouldn't. EDIT: Welp, guess I was wrong about that. Maybe there was a third-party Full Saber? Iunno.
  22. kajnrig
    Exia sees what the Quanta is doing and is like "Gonna get me some of that." I dunno, it just seems redundant. It's the Quanta with some Exia kibble here and there. This when the Quanta was already itself an iteration on the Exia.

    Yeah, the forearms look like they literally split down the middle, and all so they could add ball joints to the wrists for a little bit more articulation. Not saying that IS the reason, of course. But it certainly doesn't look good, like at all. That element almost on its own has made me lose all interest in these kits.

    Macross figures

    kajnrig replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    The "pedo" discussion is kind of silly, honestly. The naming of the figure set is really, REALLY stupid and in really, REALLY poor taste, but the figures themselves are... fine. Just that. Not extravagant, not poor, not hyper conservative, not creepily sexualized, just... fine. If the aesthetic is your thing, then you should feel absolutely no shame whatsoever getting them. It literally is JUST the name that gives everything a creepo vibe. I don't get how that got the OK from the marketing team.

    Best Girl deserves more love than just this, but I'll take it all the same. Is there a separate thread for the 1/20 character kits?
