Man, my free hobby projects got voiceovers in Thai, Burmese, French, Latin, Icelandic, Moroccan Arabic, Fante, and reconstructed Gaulish of all things in the days before AI. It wasn't always the best quality (the Thai was self recorded on an iPhone), but it worked.

I was interested in seeing the full granularity of the layoff records, estimates, and sources. More than anything the research seems very well done so I was interested in keeping a copy of the info for reference if I ever need it in the future

People forget that there also were significantly more barriers to discoverability decades ago. Even in NSTC-U the average gamer during “defining” years for the region’s gaming perspectives like 2002 needed exceptional knowledge and an internet connection to find a database for a console’s library.

This has always been the case. The issue I see is that in the 2000s we had heavy consolidation around a few big publishers, who convinced people they had to play all (and only) their AAAs. RPGs were BioWare & Bethesda, nothing else. This is why people think they could "play all games" at one point

Doing a think back to when I used to block everything out in MODO before even starting on a concept. It was...... kind of exhausting.

An arena in an autumnal scene. North side is haunted and dead, south side is idyllic and golden.

A beachside arena. On the left and right are two resorts adorned with statues. The statues are crying fountains into the pool on either side. In the bottom right there's a lagoon, in the top left is an cove with boats anchored off shore.

A birds-eye view of a stylized verdant valley. The ground is a tartan patchwork of farmlands and settlements. In the center is a Tower on the cliffs overlooking a cove. Ships are docked at a port below.

Expanded versions of the previous tower, built up over countless upgrades. You could call it progress, but all they've really done is create a tall, gleaming box of dirt. Are they trying to reach something, or are they running away? Gives +15 to Research.

Well all that glue is going to take a very long time to dry. The cloth trows will just have to wait for their scenic muffin. It was very peaceful flocking the flock and tufting the tufts though. While we wait, check out the Cloth Trows Kickstarter! kickstarter.com/projects/statuesque/cloth-trows

A small scenic display base made with layers of cork coasters, covered in flock and grass tufts so it looks a bit like a chunk of earth pulled from the ground. Four painted miniatures of bean-shaped cloth creatures holding crooked sticks surround the display base.
