Maybe they just ran out of studios to buy
dusky cairn
Well they basically merged Campo Santo into the main studio, so it's technically Valve working on The Valley of Gods (if the rumors that it is now shelved are not true). I guess they needed some fresh blood and they got some new ideas too.
They were also pretty open about how they need to work on hardware first until they are satisfied with the level of technology and then they can work on something new. Now you could believe it or not obviously. And they are still maintaining Steam, DotA, CS, Underlords, TF (okay not really) with a pretty small team by AAA standards. And there was Artifact too... and they are reworking it.

small loom
🤢
north hamlet
No personal experience with them though
hexed hollow
depends on your budget as to what would be best, XLR is ideal but usually costs more to set up initially
Blue yeti is good on a budget, but their are better usb mics our their now as the yeti is really a "jack of all trades, master of none"
AT2020 is a good solid XLR mic and I've heard good things about the USB version of it
https://musiccritic.com/equipment/microphones/best-usb-microphones-under-100/
small loom
I love XLR mics, but cheap audio interfaces for them can be temperamental. The cheapest I'd go is a focusrite 2i2 scarlett generation 2 or 3, and those run about 150 USD. Having one opens up a lot of options, though, for mics, headphones and instruments that usb ports alone won't give you.
And yeah the yeti is affordable and flashy looking but it sounds like ass in recordings
They make good travel mics for groups in a room and such (they pick up ambient noise and voice around the room better) but that's about it
Yeti is 100 USD. For half that you could get an Antlion Modmic Uni that connects with a 3.5mm port, clips to headphones and sounds infinitely better
swift quarry
Thanks everyone 😊 I’m definitely not going USB. Not worth the risk for this much money. XLR it is!
small loom
Rode may be worth checking out in that instance. Rode NT1A is a popular model and is on sale/bundled with free stuff often
It's a solid mic.
Oh. One thing to keep in mind with USB audio interfaces is that if you plan on using them to drive headphones (with a 1/4" jack connection) some headphone manufacturers offer multiple versions of models with different levels of impedence. The higher the impedence, generally the better the response of the drivers (speakers). Most headphones are 32 ohm impedence and a usb interface can push that around all day with no issues. After 100 ohms or so, headphones may run quieter than expected. 500-600 ohms are meant for huge interfaces in studios and the like.
I had a 600 ohm Beyerdynamic DT990pro and the Focusrite 2i2 could barely drive it. At full volume it was at a healthy audiobook listening volume. :'V

Side-smash is cael hammer, up-special-aerial is war machete spin, side special is repeater volley, static special is breaker's bow snipe, etc

hey, what do you guys think about Life is Strange?
rain yew
I only played the first game (all episodes) but i didnt like it
Especially the ending
I didnt like the writing at all, idk
wide ember
I loved Life is Strange until the ending, I hated the ending
But the story before that were very relatable and well-written
north hamlet
the execution and quality of the game is overall good
whether you like the writing is personal preference
wide ember
I’ve been in those situations before, so the story was very relatable
north hamlet
i thought it was decent but it leans a lot on you identifying with max and acting like you are her, which i don't really like
wide ember
Oh, I did not identify with max at all
I wanted to reach into the screen and slap max a few times
I liked the writing because I had people like Victoria, Nathan and Kate in my life, and also some others
I didn’t feel that I had to be Max, just be in her shoes
north hamlet
the secondary characters are great
wide ember
the contrast between how the secondary characters act between the main timeline and the modified timeline was very impressive
Max can only do so little trying to be good, yet one man with no superpower can ruin so many lives and minds being evil in his own corner
Then the ending makes you undo a major good you worked on for days

Hm, I guess at that angle that would be a bit short?
Somehow it doesnt seem like the thing bothering me either
hasty kernel
Oh well, just gonna keep at it until I suck less
north hamlet
The back eye isn't level with the other
Because of the curvature of the face it'll also often be slightly higher
And the collars of button up shirts go crazy high
A stiffened collar with a tie will cover like half the neck
Although if you go for less buttoning up that will change
Otoh the colours and shading look pretty good
Arm is a little on the short side, unless perspective weirdness (it's receding into the background) is active
Most of the time arms end about where the bottom of the pelvis is
north hamlet
The shoulder slope is a bit like how the eyes go, although that will change depending on what leg has weight on it
north hamlet
👍👍👍
Don't forget I'm not a real artist or especially good at anatomy and perspective and there is a non-zero chance I could be wrong about these things

Something's always bothered me
Does Bastion have anything at all to do with Braid?
I always got some eery vibes between the two
I don't think Number None had anything to do with Supergiant, but still
wide ember
Bastion and Braid both have this “are you the hero or the monster” thing going on, and good art
small loom
And the True Ending of Braid has some plot parallels I guess
wide ember
...is Zulf the princess of Bastion
small loom
Nah. Tim from Braid travels a broken world trying to pick up the pieces, only to realize he at one point had his hands in the creation of a weapon of mass destruction and is responsible for countless deaths. (Think the Caels splitting the Old World with The Calamity)
It's pretty dark.
The princess was the successful firing of the trinity test bomb.
Thinking forward, he tries to discover how to make the project work. Thinking backward, he tries to remember how it all went wrong and how to stop it. But it's an exercise in futility. Because the past cannot be changed and once certain things are set in motion, they are stuck in their course.
Or at least, that's my take on it.

I usually dont, given that theyre usually drinking and I dont drink

though I admit, if you agree to meet in a way that saves money, it's not too bad either, especially if you are all students

I recommend having friends over and cooking together

aspirin! I remember making them for real at school's lab and smuggled the flakes out in its own glass tube... only to accidentally shatter it in my pocket, ending with glass shards and aspirin powder all over the inside of my coat pocket

The only thing I remember making in chemistry lab was a sodium hydroxide solution for titrations
I hate titrations :<

there were so many things made in chem labs, but the most memorable ones include the aspirin I tried to smuggle out, soap (that was a failure...) and cottage cheese (that most did not dare to eat)
everything else had the titration pipe's memory overshadow the memory of the actual solution
serene tulip
Right?
wide ember
that or fumbling over the not always stable gaz burners
yelling at centrifugers for not spinning correctly
but the titration pipe was the worst only because the support was very flimsy and the pipe was very tall and fragile, and now and then somebody adjusts it too hard and the whole pipe falls and shatters

If it has backwards compatibility
Also Persona is hit or miss in that regard
There are questionable elements
faint panther
Oh.
nova depot
if I don't play persona, I don't play persona
slightly disappointing, but I'll live
hasty kernel
Id say that overall Persona is still really good
And its Persona 4 that has them the most
So Id recommend 3 or 5
Even though I like 4's cast the most
nova depot
hnnn playstation line exclusives tho
faint panther
I'll never not be upset that FromSoft released every Dark Souls game for multiple consoles but Bloodborne only came out on PS4.
hasty kernel
There were enough games for the PS4 that I wanted for me to get one, but it is pricy
Man now that I think about it, Persona 3 feels like it had the weakest cast of the 3
raven harbor
I don't like how certain arcs of P4's cast were handled
P3 seemed all around more solid in that aspect
hasty kernel
Thats how I would put it yeah
Id say the overally story is more compelling in P4 though, and the characters are generally stronger
wide ember
I feel like p4 was the weakest in handling the characters, and kicking a guy between the legs for breaking a CD during his bike accident was not cool
raven harbor
The characters were good but the arcs were bad
raven harbor
I mean yeah Yosuke sucks in general
wide ember
The strongest part of p4 was how humanity’s biggest issue was not some external invasion, but internal foggy apathy
hasty kernel
As for Persona 3, its characters didnt really leave much of an impression on me
I could tell you what Junpeis and Shinjiros deal is
Thats about it
raven harbor
Clear bottom tier of the best friend trope compared to Ryuji and Junpei
wide ember
Yosuke sucks but I still felt that the abuse other characters did to him was not funny
wide ember
Not that what some of things he did was okay either
It was good to show various flaws but having the narrative condemn some would be better
hasty kernel
Oh and I liked Persona 4s villain
Even if the fact ||that theyre supposed to be unsympathetic kinda got lost on people||
raven harbor
I really liked where P3 went when it came to that
But yeah just, really not a fan of a couple of arcs in 4, really ruined the rest of it for me
raven harbor
For me it was ||Naoto's|| and how that subsequently kind of dumpstered ||Kanji's||
hasty kernel
See, the thing is, I got back to it recently, and I actually kinda like ||Naotos|| arc
I think I just misjudged the context before
raven harbor
If they had made it more clear what the context was supposed to be in the first place, it would be fine
But it really leaned one specific way and then felt like it turned a totally different way
faint panther
And not in a good plot twisty kinda way?
In Bastion, finding out ||the Calamity was Caelondia's doing|| made me completely dumpster ||using the Bastion to reset the world.||
But it didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth.
raven harbor
If you don't mind spoilers, it came across like ||an exploration of transgender identity|| and swung into ||turns out it was more of a Mulan situation|| which felt worse than I feel like I can word out
Like I said, if they had been more clear with the direction they wanted to lean than I think it would have been fine. It doesn't help that it also affected ||Kanji's|| arc by having ||him go gee, this guy I have a crush on is actually a girl, phew glad I'm not gay!||
Which uh, as someone who has been in a very similar situation, sucked to have that familiar representation ripped out under me
faint panther
Japan has a pretty atrocious track record for this entire spectrum, honestly.
Is it better or worse when I can honestly say "Yeah, I'm not surprised Atlus handled that poorly."
hasty kernel
See, the thing is that to me, it came down to how ||Shadows|| were framed. Theyre elements the person in question is suppressing and effectively trying to ignore. Given that ||Naoto was already presenting as masculine if Im using the terminology correctly (correct me if Im not)||, that wouldnt have made much sense with her ||Shadow||
So the true meaning of ||Naoto struggling in a male-dominated field that is not exactly kind to her due to both her age and gender|| makes more sense
I do agree on the ||Kanji|| bit though
raven harbor
My biggest issue is that her ||Shadow specifically name-drops gender reassignment surgery||, which in the context of everything else that was being presented, I think really could have been handled a different way
hasty kernel
Does she? I only recall it being called ||the genome project and "bodily alteration procedure"||
raven harbor
To be clear, I watched the shows, so it may not be quite that explicit in the game
raven harbor
But those also seem fairly explicit
hasty kernel
||Hell the shadows dialogue actually talks more about the age part||
faint panther
||"Bodily alternation procedure" in the context of Naoto's character is gender reassignment.||
hasty kernel
||Or more accurately, only about the age part||
||Yeah, I looked the cutscenes up again, the fact that naoto is a girl only comes up after the shadow is defeated, while the entire shadow and its related arc is specifically framed around the age part||
So, if the show changed that, thats kinda on the show
No, wait, I skipped a part
Its briefly mentioned
But yeah, I personally like ||Naotos|| arc, though I can definitely see why someone wouldnt
||Kanjis is just tragic though, it feels like it undermines itself||
nova depot

||I also dont like Ken in general tbh, Shinjiro was the best character and Ken is why he went away||

Well, Trails of Cold Steel has a grand total of 1 gay character, but she is pretty cool

lgbt representation in manga is like
representation, yeah, but half the time it's made to be kinda creepy
wide ember
oh, I was talking about the actual good manga, not the gaybait or yaoi/yuri that are mass produced for the cis hetero mass
because there are many by LGBT for LGBT manga, but people rarely talk about them
and they often don't get translated
nova depot
that would explain why I don't get to see much that isn't just garbage
wide ember
there are some confirmed non-cis or bisexual mangaka, I love their stuff
it's just, the ones that reach here are usually by cis mangaka and it's to fulfill audience fantasy, and they are creepy garbage
nova depot
there are some that are just solid stories and aren't creepy that I've seen, but yeah most of the time it's just garbage

I personally love when a person in charge of an anime goes "I have this fantasy of being a man in his 30s being loved by a slightly younger and handsomer guy, so I'm putting this in the show"

I don't see that a lot
tho, najimi from komi seems like she's potentially under that umbrella maybe potentially I have no clue
hasty kernel
I mean you dont even see female CEOs a lot
In japanese media at least
Or probably western media as well
nova depot
can't tell if the memes with najimi are just for the joke or like, actually an aspect of najimi's character
I think that was the character at least
wide ember
I was thinking of Anonymous from Shimanami Tasogare and Fire Emblem from Tiger and Bunny, for non-binary CEO
Anonymous was better presented though, because the author is not cis (identifies as X gender)
Anonymous bought a bunch of abandoned houses for renovations and hired a bunch of LGBT people to renovate them, wish it could go this well in real life
Fire Emblem is in energy business and also a superhero, though some scenes were questionable, many were well done, probably thanks to having actual LGBT people in the production team

Oh its a character called Fire Emblem
I was thinking what kind of medieval society has CEOs

the Lord class are obviously the CEO class

made the best grilled cheese sandwich of my life with mimolette on vacation one time
wide ember
the colour on mimolette is so bright... though according to wikipedia import to US of mimolette has been put on hold since 2013 due to possible cheese mite allergies
