Nah, both are southern. But since accent is all over the place it may have cockney notes.

I miss that so much. Now you need hours of downloading and installation to play for half a hour and you don't want to do it more.

Besides Far Cry 2 is about African wars instigated by outside forces.

Funnily enough most young girls here are slim as blade of grass and ethereal like fantasy elves. 😄

Unfortunately I am slow reader of English. Besides some dubs add charm. Rune Soldier, for example, has amazing dub 😊
Although they should have stopped hiring heavy smokers to voice teenage girls 😏

Left one. But also important to Ctrl+Z constantly 😏

Soviet times made many of us very proficient in sneaking and many layered satire 😄

Always 😄

Oh, it doesn't bother me at all. It actually adds some different charms to Pumas.😅

Speaking of...
Here is curious detail - one of the Pumas ripping of peace of plane is from "Dominion Tank Police Conflict 1: No More Noise" manga.
From 1993-ish.
New Dominion Tank Police also from 1993-ish.
How come?
They worked directly with Shirow here?🤔

Every time I see Cybil I hear her "Must be on drugs" phrase 😄

Dubbers decided to give them American southern accent.
I... don't know how I feel about that 😅

Why the hell not? 😄

Whenever you will be ready.
Just glad to hear you are still kicking 😊

"Chimping out" also quite natural. Since "painting is never done" you can choose where to stop in refinement.

In short: each has its pluses and minuses. Hard to tell which one is "right".
Choose which you find more pleasing and less demanding in time.

Drawing B&W first you is useful. You do difficult task of guessing light and shadows first. Although hustle with overlays give you result which you didn't have in mind.

Drawing to sketch to finish is natural. It's how it's done by most people.

Besides PC were RIDICULOUSLY pricey back then.

LucidARTDVC, Keeper of Useless Knowledge @lucidartdvc.bsky.social · 18h

Well, I hope you won't need salt or pepper. Those are right in the middle of that thing 😄

LucidARTDVC, Keeper of Useless Knowledge @lucidartdvc.bsky.social · 18h

Well, looking back there weren't a lot of truly *good* games back then. We may look at them with rose tinted glasses, but most of them were unfair cruel torture 😅

Dunno about this Toy Story.
Variety of gameplay (racing, first person maze etc), big sprites without slowdowns... technical marvel, actually.
It was amazing that they managed to fit all of that in SNES/Sega cartridge.
As game... meh. Nothing special.

That's a bit too specific for casual user 😄

Oh, yes.
In period of PSOne (around 1993 to 2006) was somewhat lulled period in first half. Didn't upgraded my VooDoo 16Mb for years.
But in second half such dizzying breakthrough in tech that most people didn't bother to catch up and chose consoles.
