  • The story I hated.

    I made my character based around John Coffey from Green Mile, but like he’s the bad ass everyone thinks he is. I knew I wanted to drop INT and CHA for brute strength and constitution. I was ready to do everything possible to dominate the Wastelands… But that intro… Just the character creation…

    It’s like, if you weren’t drawn toward making a character bio based around the white nuclear family, you were never going to enjoy the intro at all, and you’d put off the main quest as long as possible to go do all the crazy shit you hit the wastelands for.

    “It’s time to find Shaun.”

    “But-”

    “No. You’ve murdered everything, you’re an absolute beast. You are all that is chaotic-neutral in the wastelands. It’s time to finally start quest 2 of the main quest.”

    “But I’m not a family man! He’s not even mine! I only met that bitch at the bar the night before!!”

    “Well, that’s not what the game says-”

    UNINSTALL

    6.5/10


  • Not to sound ignorant, but I am; what’s the difference between this and say the 3rd gen? I borrowed one many years ago and I read with it just fine. I can’t really imagine it needing much else since, apart from a screen dedicated for reading, I have everything else in other devices already.

    Edit:

    • 7″ glare-free display
    • Adjustable warm light
    • 16GB of storage
    • Waterproof IPX8 2M, 60 MIN
    • Weeks of battery life
    • USB-C charging

    Yep, nope, I don’t get it. They’re at 12th gen and I can barely understand the point. But now they accommodate for reading in the ocean, but somehow no accessibility features. Cool.




  • I think you underestimate how well developed the VA industry is in Japan

    Oh, no. That’s the point! It’s so, so good. If English dubbers just copied it enough, it would still be decent enough. They don’t have to explore, practice, or come up with excellent VA, just copy, even amateurishly, and it’ll be good.

    I think the issue is many English dubbers try really hard to speak to match the mouth movements and it ends up sounding so unusual. But also, stuff like choosing some young high pitched voice when the original actor was a deep sombersome voice that matches the character’s appearance and demeanor.
