my favorite breakbot comment was one that went

"looks like jesus, sounds like michael jackson, makes music like daft punk"

(they thought that ruckazoid vocals was breakbot singing himself)

When asked about the rise of AI generated 'hentai-slop' games on digital storefronts such as Steam & Switch Online, Miyamoto-san had this to say:

"A machine can never be horny, therefore a machine can never make art."

dragons dogma be great with this due to using a job system. the amount of customization you can give to yourself with a personalized moveset has you approach the game from an active combat perspective rather than 'need to hit blue guy with blue sword in blue stance'.

I don't usually partake in themes during months and such, but I started work on this some time ago, and figured I'd finish it off. Not 100% yet, but close enough to say I did something 😂

effectively, while in theory Death & EoE are the Definitive Version of the original series.... Rebuild showcased how truly cyclical the story is supposed to be.

again, peep that Rebuild is a MOVIE series. Anno got burned by all that TV production committee & GAINAX CEO bullshit & avoided it since.

Velstrak Ja @velstrak.bsky.social · 1d

it debuted as a double-feature. Death & Rebirth.

Death is a compilation movie, showing the Eva series as an orchestral performance.

Rebirth a preview of EoE.

which in concepting phase was different than what we got. it had a whole live action short film that got cut (its on the Blurei as bonus)

people claim that Evangelion's ending got 'censored' by a cult's terrorist attack.... however, this is untrue.

Japanese TV by nature heavily censors everything.. the entire show had to be altered to fit regulations.

since Death was a movie, they could add in the cut scenes like Rei clone reveal.

Velstrak Ja @velstrak.bsky.social · 1d

ive notice there still debate over End of #Evangelion & if it takes place during the finale of the show or as an alternative universe.

now, nothing wrong having your own personal interpretations.. but, to reveal the truth;

End of Evangelion is a sequel to Evangelion: Death, not 'true ending' to TV

..... an absolute shame that Judge Death didnt get this Cinematic Audio Drama treatment.

actually, quite maddening that the only adapted he's gotten was a Postal-like videogame.

his movie never getting greenlight is damn sad too.

Political Satire + Supernatural Horror.. that be fun to me ✋💀

Velstrak Ja @velstrak.bsky.social · 3d

they did one too for the 'cold war analogy arc'.

which consists of a thermanuclear war.... that incorporates a multi-verse. wha.

honestly Dredd's gruff being so extreme while saying the silliest one-liners + Hershey having OVA dub voice is absolutely peak 80's cinema.

learning that Judge Dredd has cinematic produced audio drama.

the VA is hilariously chessy, but the soundscape is actually pretty damn great.

Caligula is a fun antagonist i suppose...
