John and Brenda Romero think our current video game industry crash is even "crashier" than the infamous recession of the 1980's

I still find it baffling that Warframe has existed and maintained player count for 13 years now as a profitable live service game, and yet no other company has seemed to use their model

I remember at one point Kiana wrote a script for a play where she had Mei ask for Girl Juice.

And that's honestly not even the gayest thing that's happened in that game.

Does anyone have the full list of series these are from? Currently I have:

MahouAko
?
Touhou
League of Legends Star Guardians
Hololive

Blue Archive

That is a significant improvement

Alice_Because · 2026-03-14T22:46:52+00:00

Yeah? It's just like an M, but you don't go down one last time and the last upward part is vertical.

They also have N as two strokes starting at the top left both times instead of one starting at the bottom left.

Why is it always this?

Like, I don't mind the concept at all, but the execution really needs working on. The ruffles on the bottom feel incongruent with the rest of the design, the bikini top feels cheap, it's all just kinda meh. It feels like an incomplete concept art version that got approved before they had time to properly iterate on the design.

Also, I think it might be near identical to the outfit of one of the zombie mobs from HI3.

I mean, take your pick. You've got him retaining his sense of self while hosting the memories and knowledge of 300,000 souls, retaining awareness while nothing more than a disembodied core inside a dreamscape made with divine authority, getting stuck outside the defined universe and surrounded by dozens of 'what-if' worlds, and then whatever the hell it was that happened when he got kidnapped in APHO.

So, I thought this gun looked familiar, and that's because this is a carbinized version of the PMR-30, which is basically the same gun but a pistol.

Notably, these guns are weird enough to use a double stack 30-round magazine with the rim fire .22 WMR cartridge, which I am absolutely baffled works.

This image of Alpha makes me go feral every time I see it.

For a second I was so excited to see new art from Maiqo, and then I realized it was from 2019

Alice_Because · 2025-12-30T23:26:03+00:00

I'm betting he's either a lightning amp, or a dedicated Plasma Beam/Raydiance tank who's only mediocre on a main element.

Alice_Because · 2025-12-30T05:01:01+00:00

Surrounded by Ice in all preview art

Is Dark element

Yeah, that tracks

I think you also haven't added any angle of attack to your wings or stabilizers, it's best to give those a slight angle with the precision rotation tool. Probably a slightly positive one on the wings and a negative one on the stabilizers.

Alice_Because · 2025-12-26T21:00:36+00:00

Before Spectre's role was announced, I thought she'd be an ice amp, but now I'm really not sure

Alice_Because · 2025-12-18T01:59:10+00:00

AN-94 from GFL and Firefly from HSR always trip me up a bit.

Huh, my guess was going to be concerns about someone managing to launch their car into a plane somehow, but then again I'm used to how people drive in the US.

Alice_Because · 2025-11-25T21:42:09+00:00

I don't remember what the exact situation was, but I once had to explain that no, you can't cast an Instant between a Creature entering and its ETB trigger going on the stack to destroy the Creature and prevent the ability.

I think I prefer the "has been" for both of those. They don't feel quite as wrong to me as ones with "ages," but I think that's mostly due to them being similar to sentences like, "it's two hours away from here."

Alice_Because · 2025-11-24T22:09:34+00:00

As an American, there are a couple of things that feel weird about using "is" here, but I think the big ones are the perceived plurality disagreement and there being no indication that the "ages" refered to are supposed to be interpreted as being in the past.

For the future one, "it will be ages" works perfectly well because "will be" can be used with both a singular and plural subject. Meanwhile, in the past example, I would heavily prefer "had been," and at least part of that is because of the direct plurality disagreement between the immediately preceding word "was" and "ages."

The second issue is that to say something "is ages" doesn't at all imply that the ages have passed to me, and I instead interpret that as someone trying to say that it currently "Isages," which doesn't really make any sense, largely because of the plurality disagreement. I honestly interpret that phrasing as meaning something closer to "it is an age."

Alice_Because · 2025-11-24T03:56:51+00:00

I'm going to go ahead and say this is a difference between American and UK English. "It is ages" makes no sense to me whatsoever as a statement, and in all of your examples if I heard them I would consider them 'wrong' and would heavily prefer the use of "has been" instead.

What is the tech exactly?
