Fuck this guy.
From what I recall Nakamura is just one of those things Tango pushed when the ship was sinking around them.
Kamiya is a great game designer but you can only burn so many bridges before people don't want to work with you anymore and your legacy only goes so far if your last hit game released over a decade ago and other people are making sequels on par or better than your previous work.
Last I heard the two of them want to make a sequel to Okami but she left half way through development of Ghostwire Tokyo and Kamiya is well Kamiya, so I don't think it'll happen.

He shouldn't take it out on the Astro Bot developers but the guy has a point.
Astro Bot is presented as a celebration but could also be considered a funeral for once great and beloved franchises in exchange for $200 million GAAS flops.
The Phil Spencer t-shirt in videogame form: "See, even though we closed down the studio and cancelled the sequel we still care about our past"
It's kind of poetic that they made a game where you collect past videogame icons to save a crash landed PlayStation 5.

I have never given a lot of gifts out(I'm more of a giftee). I thought of a handbag but that would probably raise some questions. I don't want it to be lunch or dinner because I've been treating her and she's been treating me from time to time so I don't feel that would be special. Also no gift checks as that seems impersonal.
For married people where your other half has platonic friends, what gifts did they receive that made you think nope, there's nothing going on there?

Just long essays about how Churchill was worse than Hitler and that the jews control pornhub. Followed by 'rizz' pictures of Hitler.
Also lots of Russians saying they could easily beat NATO only to be reminded in the comments they can't even defend Kursk.

I know you said their is no time to waste, and it really looks like it, but it looks like you've read up on this a lot -- can you put *some* kind of timeline on it, as brutal as that might seem? Like, I have kids at home that I need to feed and I need to gauge what my actions should be. Do I need to be going to local protests once a month, should I be flying to DC to protest there, or start posting online more to help get attention to this?
I know in history, 60% of Armenians were killed in 5 years, more than 50% of European Jews were killed in 4 years, 75% of Rwandan Tutsis were killed in 1 year. I feel like if I have a chance in preventing something like that, it might be worth leaving my job and dedicating my time to it. It's so hard to find the moral thing to do.
Is this a bit? Being Ree it’s impossible to tell.

I honestly don’t care about Linkin Park coming back, though. The band died with Chester and is not like their last stuff with him was particularly of my liking.

Yes, the meltdown they were having was directed at the rest of the internet for celebrating her and making cutesy little art memes. They immediately pivoted to concerns about "objectifying asian women", even when no one in the vicinity was actually doing that.

At the very least, it was a breath of fresh air from all the other kinds of game developers that give on screen presentations.
A few months ago she released a video on her YouTube interviewing Kamiya and the Era thread was glorious https://www.resetera.com/threads/ikumi-nakamura-unseen-has-an-in-depth-conversation-with-an-unemployed-hideki-kamiya.921393/#post-125536140
Just a normal thread until lesbian ass mod Princess Bubblegum who is lesbian and her lesbian ass barges in and completely derails it with this weird post (she edited it out but you can still see people quoting it)
Princess Bubblegum wrote:Kinda wish she wasn't propping up these veterans men well due for retirement. Though I suppose it's a necessity for a woman in the industry. *sigh* I want to see her direct a game goddamnit! Still mad she got fucked over by Zenimax and didn't end up directing The Evil Within or anything at Tango Gameworks.
All the more frustrating when it's obvious she's queer. which backfired and got absolutely piled on 
Spoiler: (click to show)(click to hide) Quote:Are she and Kamiya not friends? Maybe she just wanted to interview a friend with whom she shares a professional history (ripe for stories and discussion points)
Quote:They're friends, and he's her former boss (who she joined Capcom specifically to work with) that she worked with for 10 years. And Kamiya is 12 years away from minimum retirement age.
Are you having a bad day? Genuinely asking.
Quote:Didn't she just give birth? I mean I know you can give birth and be queer but I feel like there's more info leaning towards one side than the other.
Quote:She was directing Ghostwire, but left due to health problems IIRC.
Also, I believe she wasn't ever meant to be direct TEW, even before Mikami was thrust in that position, but Shigenori Nishikawa. She didn't even join the team until a year into development.
ALLLLLSO, her and Kamiya are friends and prior co-workers, it's not just her propping him up.
Quote:You wish she wasn't propping up her mentors/friends?
Quote:????????
They're ex coworkers having a chat with each other. She's not "propping up" anyone, and she's certainly not doing it because it's a "necessity for a woman in the industry." What are you even talking about?
Also, speculating about her queerness is pretty weird and kinda problematic?
Quote:This post is gross and downright offensive in many ways. Do better.
On topic, Ikumi should direct a game.
Quote:She's married to a man and has a child.
Quote:Iirc she left due to being pregnant at the time? She is great though and want to see her do more stuff
Quote:this is definitely an era post
Quote:Is there anything to back that claim?
Quote:There's a lot of things wrong with the industry but Nakamura hanging out with a longtime friend and colleague reminiscing isn't one of them. This is completely in line with a lot of their other banter over the years on social media and seems like it was a fun opportunity given Kamiya's noncompete and effectively extended enforced vacation from the industry to just hang out.
I also don't really think it's acceptable to speculate about people's sexuality regardless of what their orientation is. If people don't want to share or publicize parts of their life it's not really right to play detective or infer/assert shit, as someone that was on the receiving end of a lot of that growing up.
And it's a shame about how things ended with Tango as well, but given how little insight we have into what happened there beyond she was having health issues prior to Ghostwire and felt like it was having a significant impact on her, it seems a bit excessive to assert that this was a case of Zenimax fucking her over.
Just absolutely bodied Until she runs away with her lesbian ass tail in between her lesbian ass legs after the majority of the thread becomes people calling out her creepy, terminally online head cannon

I did not want a derail but this involves Kamiya so what did I expect?
Even though I am a lesbian, it isn't right of me to speculate about her personal life. (I was going off some stuff she had publicly shared on social media but that doesn't change much.)
Edit: I'm leaving the thread. Oh my goodness, this is gold  Thanks for sharing 🧐
Creepy ass terminally online transbian straight up just tried to forcibly retcon a real life married japanese woman's sexuality into "queer". And wanted her to "hurry up and replace those old creepy men" like some weird power fantasy. Then got her fragile feelings hurt by basic facts and logic and had to ragequit the thread, though not before gaslighting with "durr it was hideki kamiya's invisible defense force that made me look stupid!" and then dropping another "i'm just a little lesbian!"
It's poetic how Princess Bubblegum managed to prove themselves far creepier and more deranged than any of the "male gaze" related concerns in that one little post. All those "stop fetishizing asian women" and "stop speaking over women" and "stop assuming people's sexuality" platitudes went straight out the window when Bubblegum tried retconning a real life woman's lore and motivations like she's one of her fictional cartoon characters she obsesses over.
The whole exchange was like a small glimpse into that twisted transbian psyche: "you're a queer lesbian like me, ikumi nakamura! rebel against those icky cis men! I know you're secretly gay (and also probably trans too) waiting to upstage and replace your close male mentor friends! the future is female! (and queer!)"

If she wants that weird fanfic so badly, she should just write it on Archive of Our Own.
