Soulcalibur’s been consistently misunderstood and mismanaged by their publisher for several installments despite a couple truly great directors on 5 and 6. Namco never blames the right causes when sales falter, and Harada doesn’t have faith.
I’ll forever be salty that they dropped the flip-up abs hinge from the design before making the mold. It’s obviously missing even if you *haven’t* seen this art.
Fancy-looking stores full of amazing high-quality stuff were an idea that only worked when people didn’t have Amazon serving the cheapest possible version of every single thing.
There are SO MANY sciencey toys that are impossible to find a well-made version now. Or even a large version.
Kinda sounds like you just don’t want to have a president. Personally I don’t. Some of the founding fathers thought it was a stupid idea and we were putting too much power into it. The word itself was supposed to sound like a clerical job when they picked it.
As a son of antique house renovators, I’m astounded that they didn’t let anyone try to salvage the windows intact. They just tore straight into the building like it was worthless.
Since this is reported to be incredibly expensive, and Don is famous for stiffing contractors, I imagine these shovel operators might not be very thoughtful.
I have a clear memory of this guy leaving a weird impression on kid me.
They’d changed the “TRANSFORMERS” logo on the package, and that looked so weird, and the toy itself was so unlike all my other TFs, I suspected it was some kind of fake. Didn’t know about bootlegs etc, but I never trusted him.
Extremists swallow so much opinionated rhetoric and nothing else, they can’t even communicate sober thoughts in dry language anymore. It’s like that Bruce Willis disease where they can’t remember how to say words.
I thought it was unnecessary to specify “children’s“, and then I remembered that my local laser tag place during their final death spiral pivoted to business team-building events, and redecorated their lobby aesthetic from black light video arcade to chrome conference room with ferns.
The worst part of LLM influence on discourse is that now a text wall probably *is* empty meaningless bullshit. I used to spend a real effort articulating things thoroughly, but now multi-paragraph thoughts are a dead format.
I love the first two, but they’re style over substance, based with a straight face on a babyish understanding of 80’s computing. They make more sense on later viewings and/or with friends who are equally trying to figure them out
I thought Ares was unprecedentedly understandable, but lacking beauty
