It's honestly kind of baffling that even if this is the output, no one even bothers to colour correct these things? I guess people who rely on genAI don't know how to use Photoshop.

It's very strange. You have to pretty much disable autoplay on videos and avoid mousing over any names or avatars in passing unless you specifically want to click on those.

So what if the plot is all over the place, it's so much fun.

Love this movie. Might be my favourite of the old Disneys.

I think that choice works better for Souls games because it's much easier to recover and gather resources in those games.

I feel like even the combat was not bad as long as you really carefully managed consumables (which do not recover on death and respawn) and only used them in emergencies, never on first attempts. That was an odd choice.

They don't entirely make it clear it's more of a mind-control ability than a social move at first but arguably the consequences to the story would be the same if you just persuaded the character (if we're thinking of the same scene, the moonlighting nurse). In any case definitely an underrated game.

Imo that's actually a strength of the game. Unlike ME there's no "win conversation" button to key choices. You have to actually think about the consequences and choose accordingly. Sometimes Charm might be best, sometimes that's actually the worst outcome because what it will do to the community.

Indeed, imagine being this proud of being too lazy to experience art yourself and form opinions of your own and have so little respect for film (or any art) that you think a summary will do, AND being that defensive about it. Easy block.

No, you literally don't understand what media & art are for. You don't blindly consume max amount of content. If you don't have time to watch a thing or don't want to then don't watch it! Why pretend to know about it by watching summaries??? That's insane. What an empty way to experience the world.

The illusion of thinking you have experienced a thing by checking a summary. The real reason to watch video essays and such is to supplement and contrast with your own views AFTER seeing/playing/reading for yourself. If you can't find time to watch a movie, why bother at all?

Same composer Kejero did a really interesting video series on adaptive music for games a while back (he also did the music for Guppy): www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
Adaptive Music Adventures - YouTube
In this series, we explore existing adaptive music techniques, and try to merge them into a hybrid method for scoring video games.

What's pretty handy is you can subscribe to someone's main channel or only to their sub-channels depending on what you're interested in.

Makertube is nice and open to join; just have to submit a request. I like how easy it is to create separate sub-channels for different topics, like so: makertube.net/a/ninjadodo/...

Only real downside is it doesn't have the reach of YT. Some servers are more niche than others, but like other Fediverse platforms you can interact between servers: joinpeertube.org
What is PeerTube? | JoinPeerTube
A free software to take back control of your videos! With more than 600,000 hosted videos, viewed more than 70 millions times and 150,000 users, PeerTube is the decentralized free software alternative...

As long as you don't want to create and maintain your own server it's pretty easy use, about the same as Youtube.

Peertube is pretty solid if you can find a server you like that is taking new members. I like this one: makertube.net
