There is a “Pokemon made me Trans” meme there.  

Bluesky profile: @lesbonightcrwlr   WHY!?

Also the LGBTQ+ community have a field day with pokemon games now, it seems like since atleast gen 6, the series has been very queer-coded

(Why is it franchises for kids they focus more on than actually queer media)

[Boredfrom]

If anything, Pokemon is autistic coded.  (  )

Queer-coding aside, as someone who's never played a Pokemon game, what's the story on Game Freak/TPC being this bad at graphics? With the money they have and the talent available in Japan, why are they producing Wii-era textures? It seems it'd be almost impossible with today's tools.

[Boredfrom]

Fat4all outright posting objectification of women in that thread.

my mom called me like customer support cuz she can't see her grocery list 😭

More like his mom came down to the basement.

Asmon is one of the ugliest people to have ever been put in front of a camera. He's just so gross. I wouldn't fuck him with the penis grafted onto Harvey Weinstein's thigh for less than 50 mil.

Because it is a sweatshop. They just revealed a week ago that their budgets are abysmal. 

Nintendo/TCP just don’t care, it is going to sell.

And he lives in a dumpster and can still get a girlfriend what's resetera's excuse again...?

Anyone making a OT?

Doesn't look like anyone claimed one so probably not.

I would have, but I'm not leaping at the chance to do free marketing for Microsoft. Hell, the only reason I get to play this at launch is because I have an active Game Pass subscription that isn't running out for another year. I'm not buying an actual copy of this to own until used copies for PS5 hit shelves, and this is literally one of my favorite franchises in gaming and one of my most anticipated games in a decade.

Tricky spot.

The sacrifice on display here.

Now I don’t use the word hero lightly, but…

Well, in their rare defense, Era has a pretty good excuse. They don’t have nearly the money that Asmon has.

Dude probably smells like rancid hotdog water and lives in a roach infested sty, money only gets you so far...

For some reason they don't even have voice acting despite including fully animated cutscenes. They're cutting corners everywhere as if they fear any second that this time their game will bomb

[Uncle]

the idea must be that adding voice acting won't suddenly make it sell any better, which is probably true, everyone just eats it up as-is

nintendo has always been anti-voice acting and I guess they must save a bunch of money not having to do EFIGS

what makes it so amateurish compared to other games is the presentation though. 

Look at this

It's as if someone just forgot the voicetrack. We don't get cutscenes like this in Zelda or Mario. Hell, including a fantasy gibberish language would be better.

Looks like the new series is having trouble while filming. I'm fine with people protesting and stuff getting leaked, just hope nothing bad happens to the child actors.

https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/2122964/harry-potter-tv-show-filming-chaos

The kids in that thing are being set up for child abuse, and it's not coming from the protesters. It's from inside the house.

I feel bad for the kids, but the adults involved could all stop it.

I swear these cunts would claim Tetris and Pong are queer-coded in some way. You can't even question them about it otherwise you'll be reported and banned for dismissing concerns of queer reputation

Well Erin, you actually lost the right to call anyone a moron, because that footage is from this weekend and not 2017.

First, that is the exact same footage that was used on local news broadcasts this weekend. I know this because I live in New England, whereas you live in Canada.

Second, do you see the bottom of that MSNBC footage where it says 'Velshi?' That's the name of the news program.

Velshi premiered in February 2020.

It is literally impossible for that clip to be from 2017 because the program that the clip is from didn't exist until 2020.

Erin, I really would suggest that you stop getting your news from Twitter. It makes you an uneducated person.

Motherfucker you literally live on twitter. I swear he’s trying to give me an aneurysm

[Uncle]

but also I really don't understand the big deal with voice acting, it seems like it must be EXTREMELY cheap????

voice actors are paid in what's called PFH, Per Finished Hour, in other words when all your voice acting is done you've got an hour of fully edited, ready-to-use content, that's what you get paid for

if you're shitty and it takes you 30 takes and 30 hours to get through everything, that's your own problem, you get paid for that single best take and the one hour of good content you produced

and the rate is like $50-$100 for an inexperienced actor and $200-$400 for a really good voice actor

a youtube video of all of MGS1's codec calls, the vast majority of dialogue in one of the well-known dialogue heavy games, is 4 hours long, so that's $1600 if it was one voice actor, in reality they probably each got a minimum payment

jennifer hale was paid $1200 for MGS1: https://www.ign.com/articles/metal-gear-solid-voice-actress-jennifer-hale-says-she-was-paid-1200-for-naomi-hunter-role

if a game has even a 1 million dollar budget, voice acting sounds utterly trivial, like there's zero excuse not to have 50 different exclamations and grunts of pain so that it doesn't get monotonous hearing the same thing over and over

it's not like ahh yeah voice acting is expensive, what ya gonna do, no

if a grunt or exclamation is 1 second long then 60 of them costs $7 from a top tier, world-renowned voice actor

The costs of VA is cheap, but could it also be the costs of editing, localization, and more along with the cost of the actors?

I don’t know, just enjoying JAQing off.

[Orange Juice Box]

I’m just gonna say it. The twitch streamer drama is boring.

I enjoyed it for what it was.  It's like that show Billy on the Street.  I can watch it on youtube once a year for 10 minutes and that's as much as I can handle for 12 months.  but I enjoyed it for what it was.

but they already have to localize the text into all those languages, I suppose editing would be the thing...and file size, nintendo are crazy about file sizes too, though that's one area where I feel they can be praised, in a world where shitty bog standard sports games are 400 gigs

[Uncle]

mostly I'm amazed that I could walk up to nolan north and hand him $10 and get enough VA to work with for a zelda-style game, and that would be industry standard wages

like I don't even have to say hi to him, he's just like gee golly a whole tenner for my world class talent, oh boy I can go to jimmy johns

[Boredfrom]

I got the gut feeling that Uncle is misunderstanding something in his diatribe. Just a feeling…

The only thing I can say for sure, in the context of Nintendo and Japanese games, is that voice acting there is way, way, way less cheap and with a ton of copyright headaches.

[Boredfrom]

I forgot that is not only paying voice actors, but the staff that record and direct the voice actors.

There is a reason why Sonic Adventure 2 sounds amateurish even with competent voice actors.

https://www.thegamer.com/sean-chiplock-made-less-from-breath-of-the-wild-than-freedom-planet/

Voice actor Sean Chiplock added to the debate by revealing that he was paid between $2,000 - $3,000 for his three roles in Breath of the Wild (Revali, Teba, and The Great Deku Tree), which ended up being less than voicing two characters in indie game Freedom Planet because the latter "generously" offered royalties.

Chiplock said, "I was paid approx $2,000-$3000 overall because it was based on the total number of hours in the studio (which was higher because of voicing 3 characters in a single game). I made MORE from voicing Spade/Dail in Freedom Planet 1 because *that* generously gave me sales royalties". Chiplock also mentioned that he has earned more from two offscreen lines in Detective Pikachu than he did for Breath of the Wild, mostly because it also earns royalties as a feature film.

as he says, he earned more in this case because he was paid an hourly studio rate rather than the industry standard PFH, which would've been much less
