Feel very genuinely bad for ZA/UM workers getting laid off after they were put in a no-win situation Also think it's deeply silly people on here are guilting consumers for not buying the new game like it's an audience's responsibility to keep a studio with PR/goodwill in the gutter afloat

Found it

A chalk drawing presumably done by a child. The image is of Vegeta and written next to him are the words: “his name is Vegeta look him up he is so cool.”
Most importantly, the artist could not fit “vegeta” on one line. So the last a in his name sits beneath the t, like “veget break a”

The "Not You" meme, but with Major Motoko Kusanagi and variants.
Thank= Manga Major
You = 1995 Anime Major
Major = Stand Alone Complex Major
For = Not Major in body, but the ghost inhabiting a doll-like mechanical body in Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence.
Not You = The 2017 live action movie "Major" we'd all sooner forget.
(Beat Takeshi can be included though because that one scene was badass) = "Beat" Takeshi Kitano as Chief Daisuke Aramaki
Cyberpunk = Arise Major
Adventures = 3D Major from the SAC_2045 web series
Past and Present = The Ghost in the Shell "Current" Major with blue hair.

i am very, very open for work at the moment and very good at mock reviewing/consultancy. my feedback is more dev-centric than most and generally revolves around aspects of game design which are often left out of other mock reviews (frame data, balance, and other fundamentals of feel and design).

They'll start getting angry at people outside the group, saying they don't understand why those people don't hate you. They'll say things like "I feel like I'm going crazy, why doesn't anyone see it?!" And it's like, dude, you're listening to a liar and the rest of us all know it lol

One of the many sources cited in the new papal encyclical is... Gandalf

213. The twentieth-century Catholic author J.R.R. Tolkien, in the words of a protagonist in one of his novels, described our responsibility in this way: “It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.”
