or here me out companies can pay AW testers better and stop making bloated open world games

also AI wont be able to do this job at all
I think you're underestimating the actual abilities of AI. If you train them on a specific task and focus only on that task, they do have the ability to make great strides, like they are in medical applications. It's the broad applications that companies are trying to push that aren't at all ready for mass consumption. Testers are one of those things that will likely never get the budget they need, like a lot of translators. It's just a shitty industry standard that'll never be fixed.

Or...and hear me out...we could just have actual QA like we always have.
Human QA has always sounded like an underpaid, soul draining shitshow, and it's certainly not getting better with ballooning open world games with a billion possible variables. If AI can handle running into walls like an idiot for a million game instances, while humans focus on feedback on what's actually fun and giving the AI more scenarios to check when they do hit bugs, that would likely be the best scenario.
Bug testing would definitely be a perfect thing for AI, if the setup is correct. Human QA testers should really be focusing more on the user experience anyway.
Given that all alternatives somehow have managed to fuck up such an easy concept, Id say its mostly just a skill issue. Did Epic ever actually get all the functionality QoL things people were bitching about way back?
Catching up to manga is super easy, especially something like One Piece. Knocking out a volume per day should take barely any time. It's the anime that's a herculean task to get through, especially for how shit it can be for very large chunks of the series.
Would be funny to have a scene where they agree to team up, but they return to their pie fight and decide to cancel it.
WW, Spirit Tracks, BoTW, LA x 3, LBW. I've tried OoT and MM like three or four times, but can't get into them for some reason.
The fuck is with Amazon having ads now? I will engage via other means.

See, I don't like this at all.

"They have an ego" is very much something without any fixed meaning. We tell creatives they have to get out there, sell themselves, be strong....but then we decide this is bad and they're egotistical if it doesn't hit a shifting, undefined standard. A lot of creatives (Especially men) are very full of themselves too and it doesn't matter or their product lands.

But she's doing nothing that others don't.
This seems to be a step beyond just a normal launch from some cursory glances at people talking about it, like some big pre-order campaign, insane hype, etc. This feels more akin to a massive hyped Kickstarter going to absolute shit despite promises, more than some rookie author just overhyping herself and failing.
Seems more like a scam that took advantage of social media hype than just a simple passion project that happened to turn out badly. If it's that bad, I'm sure she was told by more than just editors.
The new mechanics feel pretty pointless. The floor scrubber thing is too janky to feel cathartic, and the soap doesn't really do anything mechanically (guess you could nerf yourself to the cheapest washer to make it more worthwhile). Still fun, but I feel like a sequel would have warranted more stuff, like different ways of cleaning, bonuses for using lifts and ladders instead of just parkouring, a slight realism mode with physics where water drips down and can make things dirty and you can track dirt and grime.
Don't think so. Most of the negatives about it are related to corpos trying to milk it. If there's a bubble burst, it's not going to affect AI as a whole, just those who unrealistically expected it to shift industries that aren't ready.
Yeah, it was not the best start to the timeskip. I think he should have brought back Arlong somehow instead of bringing in Hody. The whole new generation thing works fine thematically, but it also makes Hody the worst villain by far.
If you have the choice between using utensils and your hands, I'd say it's fairly strange to use your hands. It doesn't really feel analogous to other finger foods because most of those are large singular items.
Web Saitama is an unknown variable.
Manga Saitama has been given a known base variable around probably destroying a planet with a some number of punches and exponential constant growth when facing a direct threat. So anyone who can reasonably casually blow up planets can probably one shot him easily, but if they play around hell grown beyond them quickly.
Im still confused how anyone other than the severely mentally ill can find enough consistency to have any kind of dialogue that they find appealing. It has to be like 99% projection and imagination, because these things are still pretty shitty.
It's good, but it suffered from being four episodes too short and spending too much time on characters that won't really mean anything until this second season. HB suffers from the opposite where they've kind of just dragged it out way too long and there are way too many unnecessary things. I would say she's just not the best showrunner in the world, so hopefully the indie and mainstream experience will help her on future seasons and productions.
Removing characters is a necessity at some point in any franchise like this, but Pokemon is still the largest grossing franchise and has absolutely no excuse for bowing out as early as they did. Gamefreak is definitely not in a too many cooks situation, so their refusal to evolve is the biggest problem.

i mean most people won't be transferring until postgame so that's kinda moot, and for pvp formats/banlists exist

rebalancing 1000+ unique creatures each with like 100 possible moves and 2-3 abilities each sounds like complete hell. Especially when it comes to having to do so for both a good jrpg progression and competitive

then again we got fucking Urshifu a year after dexit
It would definitely be impossible for a small but long franchise, but TPC could easily give Gamefreak the resources if they asked for it. From the way the latest leaks made it sound, they've been offered outside help and refused it prior, so it seems like the main problem is Gamefreak being a shitty company run by idiots.
Overall, I dislike the direction the series has gone since introducing Nika to everything. I much prefer the idea of Propaganda Rocks being just so chaotic that they had no choice but to team up to put him down. Tying everything back to some ancient fate between Joyboy, Davy Jones, and Imu is way too reminiscent of how Naruto and Bleach went to shit at the end. This is just like a slow burn version that won't be resolved for 400 chapters.
Nah, they have the resources to hire a full team of balancers who could easily work full time to make sure all Pokemon are fully balanced. There is an upper limit to an ever increasing roster, but Pokemon is one that could easily handle it until they get to like 2000+. They just choose not to because they seemingly have no pride in the games, just another money maker.
It has plenty of practical uses and utilities. The problem is this stupid rush to be the front-runner, shoving it into every facet of life when it's nowhere near ready, and putting it in places we'll never need it.
While it's crazy she can still work on all the projects she does at her age, I'm really surprised they haven't forced her to retire yet. You really don't want a repeat of the narrator from early Super. If they have any long term plans on keeping it rolling, they're really going to have to set up a new generation of voice actors.
No. The games are not balanced around it in the least. If they want to make the games piss easy without putting in any effort, they should have just allowed you to switch it from 0 to 2x exp.
Honestly curious if he'll actually make it that long. Seems to be going to mush at a pretty fast rate.
Gamefreak is such a shitty company, and it's even worse from the leaks now that it sounds like Nintendo was willing to help them bring in outside help by they refused.
Nah, its better without it. Specifically making multiple games with singing characters and having dedicated scenes with them singing is the stupid part.
I'd see people complaining that the scope is too large, but it wouldn't be many if they actually were to somehow make a balanced and fun game out of all that. It's amazing we live in the timeline where Nintendo's biggest franchise is the worst managed game-wise.
Can you even trust surveys like this in the modern day?

Not sure I agree. Rocks managed to take down Garling and potentially other Holy Knights without much trouble and managed to save the life of his son (and maybe wife)? Whatever happens now he is going off on a high note.
I don't mind Rocks having other motivations, but for 7 years we were led to believe he was basically just such a lunatic that Roger and Garp had no choice but to put him down. Now, Oda's shifted things around so much that it's going to just be all Imu's fault. It would be one thing if it was just all Oda's plan to mislead the reader through in-universe propaganda, but this flashback is already incongruent the other snippets of GV that we've seen prior.
Of the myriad of issues with AI, I can't say artistic intent means much of anything to me on the day to day things that I consume. I have playlists of songs I've listened to hundreds of times where I probably couldn't tell you the band if you put a gun to my head. I do follow particular artists I like, but it's not a priority to associate artists to most of what I like.
Overall, turning Rocks from a chaotic evil bastard who forced Roger and Garp to team up into a chaotic neutral bastard who is probably going to be flipped by Imu is ultimately pretty boring turn of events.
I would personally say the epilogue is not worth it if you feel done with the game. Easier to just look it up on Youtube. If you're still loving the gameplay, then it can be a good goal to work towards.
With development cycles taking so long and sometimes stretching between console generations, it's hard to imagine a AAA game ever doing that again, especially with how badly ME fumbled at the end. If AI ever becomes good enough to use in games, that could be one potential strength, allowing for dynamic events that can be automatically structured based on past data.
I think I tried the negative EXP one in Super Paper Mario just to see it.
Seems like they have too much durability and a bit of unnecessary flourish on some of the moves, but otherwise all the movements seem to be realistic.
True canon is the webcomic. Manga canon is the final volume release. He does most of his redraws for the volumes, but Murata has gone off the deep end in recent years on both the general plot turning into the very thing the whole series is parodying and insane bouts of redrawing stuff over and over. I'm under the assumption that ONE stopped working with him on the manga a while back because he's too busy with his own serializations, and Murata has to be going through some kind of personal identity crisis.
Its hilarious how both commercial versions lost all their soul and became slop, while the webcomic is still going strong whenever he feels like making a chapter. Definitely poetic.

that used to be their main but i guess they use it now to shitpost now days
i remember them posting on 261 with crappy takes too
Think you have me confused for someone else. Never touched that place.
While I'm sure it has been used as an insult, feels more like the frog and the ok sign where people are just deciding to roll with the fringe worst case usage of it for whatever reason.
Shipping culture and offshoots like this are so fucking insane. Where do you go wrong in life to become legitimately upset when your own interpretation of media is wrong?
Only people who complain about not having enough money. Skimping on luxuries wont buy you a house, but you can at least make sure your kids are well fed before begging for $20 for fucking cigarettes.
It's not something really needed in the modern day, but this fucked up government will certainly use removing it to justify some illegal bullshit.
His biggest thing is that he puts his self-image over everything else. You could probably play armchair psychologist and say that he has self-esteem issues from his clearly strained family life and upbringing, but I'd say he's just a massive narcissist. Ultimately, it seems like everything related to the charity was laziness and stupidity, but his reasons for not coming forward when he supposedly found out all clearly relate to his public image. He uses weasel phrases throughout to make himself look as best as possible while admitting the minimum amount of fault.
Hes definitely trying to leverage the speculative stuff to undermine how shitty and shady he was throughout it all.
Everything about that looks janky as fuck. The whole intro is like one of those nonsensical mobile game commercials.

only safe one is 8 :(.

rest are painful

i chose 6 before the topic.
Pretty sure at least one of them was bleeding pretty good at the end of the ball pit one.
Got 9. Looks like it hurt them like hell, but honestly seems like the quickest and the least lasting pain/trauma/no physical defects.
I will never understand what gets people to this point. It's like they're so up their ass, they think they have the means and ability to restructure the entire world. I'm sure there are probably valid points in that garbled mess, but you'll never get an actual structured discussion when that is your starting point.
If it was anyone else more recent, it'd probably be fine (but still weird), but it's rather disgusting with how much he was exploited in his last years.
