The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

It does feel like a huge trend of the last few years has just been "everyone's standards get lowered, whether they want it or not" which is, you know, not my favourite trend lol

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

Whenever I say this, people get Really Mad, but it's true. Same of any other art, too. You have to read the book, watch the film, see the painting, listen to the song, whatever.
I'm sorry, but watching a video about it on YouTube is not enough. You have not experience the art.

"you have not played the game unless you've played the game" is one of my more annoying but unshakable opinions
the whole "don't play the game, just watch a video on youtube that will explain its story to you" is so disheartening because the issue of accessibility is genuinely really important but it's always just people who want to be spoon-fed nicely quantifiable information

My even more unpopular opinion is unless you have personally experienced the thing, you should probably refrain from having an opinion on it.
We need to return to shaming people for parroting YouTube/TikTok with stuff like "When I want your opinion, I'll just find the YouTuber who gave it to you."

Fans of Indie #animation if you want to support a really cool project, Cassandra Complex still needs some support. It looks amazing and any fans of Robert Valley can see how much his style influenced it.
They still need some help to reach there goal.

(3 months late) Getting to animate on a proper Crash episode was so cool. RVB is so foundational to me, and CRASH picking up the torch for it, never thought I would get to work on something like this. Especially with how awful things have been in #animation lately
