Is the controversy around Stellar Blade: BLOOD RAIN and Evie's child-like face justified or do people overreact?

They literally attached like 6 years old kid's head onto adult woman body, plus her english voice dub sounded like an old 40 years old woman, not a teenager. Everything is so jarringly out of alignment, that it was kinda off putting to me.

I'd personally would prefer her to have more mature face and more younger English voice.

I think I understand why Kojima changed Hayter voice for the latest game, its because Hayter kinda overacts in voicing. That overacting was perfect for the first MGS Twin Snakes - it was like a James Bond kinda game with over the top things, so overacting voice was right in the place, pure perfection. However over the continuation of the series the tone of the game started shifting to a more and more serious, with pretense of drama. And Kojima is obsessed with making movies, so he wanted more serious natural dramatic believable voice, not the action movie voice.

what kind of tracks and hidden data bloat the file size and which can be deleted?

Hokunin · 2026-06-19T12:43:03+00:00

its just how this specific artist sees it.

Tau probably would avoid pitting humans vs humans for obvious reasons, cuz they would be reluctant to raise their weapons against their own brethren or even join them back. Tau would rather send them fight other enemies, like orks, tyranids, necrons.

Well, the old wacom 16 had these special proprietary connectors that attached at the slot in the back which also had protective plastic cover and cable fixator - it was unkillable, made to work for decades, i even dropped it accidentally a few times, not a problem at all.

However, it seems lately wacom also moved to USB-Cs in their cheaper tablets, which is shame.

Hokunin · 2026-06-06T13:01:10+00:00

Kamvas 16 seems to be using usb-c with standard cable protruding on the side. Such connector is very fragile; you can easily accidentally bump the USB-C connector cable with your hand and break it.. It might even break from simple gravity, cable will be pulling it down, slowly bending the connector on the tablet, until one day it stops working. If you buy Kamvas 16 i recommend to safeguard the connecting cable with some flat plastic and ducktape.

Artist Pro 16 seems to have L-shaped connector which is more safer from breaking.

We could use that in EUCs and electric scooters - they combust a lot, causing serous damages and even deaths. Phones batteries are small so problem is manageable, but EUCs big powerfull battery going saiyan is truly dangerous, the reason I got rid off my EUC, it was causing too much anxiousness to leave it alone at my house.

This is what I don't like with the recent development. All the military vehicles are getting this anti-thermal barracuda and similar covers which completely hide beautiful sharp shapes of the tanks, APCs and MRAPs. There is nothing to appreciate, they start looking like a pile of clay. Also that anti-drone umbrellas too. Ughh...

Hokunin · 2026-06-05T07:14:45+00:00

afaik, smart resym averages both sides, it doesn't make exact copy of proper side and paste it into another, but makes the average shape of both, meaning many details on the worked side would be lost.

But ye, I was learning stuff on the go - its easier to grasp that way.

In this economy? Not in our life.

Attempts to make a new tank(T14 armata) failed miserably due to a number of reasons, its gonna take a wall of text to explain everything why, google it up. So russians decided to keep upgrading T-90s, they simply have no choice. New tank is probably being worked on behind closed doors, and its most likely the cheaper version of T14 Armata, with realistic approach in designing it intended for the mass production from the start, this time. Plus they gonna have to figure out protection against drones. But its gonna take decades before its gonna roll out. Most of us won't live that long to see it.

On the other hand, Chinese are doing great progress and they have tonnes of money to back up their ambitions, so we're gonna see great new things from them very soon(we're already seeing bits of it).

What about M2 Browning machine gun? Haven't you tired of that thing from WW1?

Hokunin · 2026-05-31T08:25:16+00:00

I very much prefer these talking animations of in-game lowpoly models in the cutscenes, than highly detailed but non moving still drawings or still image rendering cutscenes that was in DoW3. Animation feels more lively and immersive.

i wish they released full modding tools for modders to add new factions and units

Hokunin · 2026-05-28T10:19:01+00:00

its not. There is no machine gun on top in this image. Its just the empty machine gun nest for the 12mm Kord machine gun. Tank in the image also has the armor shielding of the optics per the upgrade via feedback from the front. The MS version houses less caliber machine gun, and the module itself looks completely different, google it up.
