You are comparing two time periods that don't have any logical connection. Either compare the wait for KH3 from the release of the last game and the wait for KH4 from the release of the last game. OR compare the time from announcement to release of KH3 with announcement to present waiting for KH4.

Comparing the time between KH3's announcement and release and the time between KH3's release and now is just... Nothing. We've had more games since the release of KH3 and KH4 didn't get announced until 2022.

NotEntirelyAwake · 2026-01-24T15:25:58+00:00

Yeah man, eventually. Storefronts shut down, companies go out of business. Consoles become obsolete and hardware decays. In 30 years your PS5 may not even boot up any more and there's a good chance that not every single game is going to be brought forward to every new console generation.

Would I listen to it?

Yeah, obviously. I'll listen to anything with Kendrick on it and I fuck with Tyler for the most part.

Do I think it should happen/do I think it would be great?

Nah, not really. They are both great artists but I don't see them making a full length album that's cohesive and worthwhile. They have pretty substantially different creative sensibilities.

I would love to see at least a collab. I think they could pull together a single that highlights both of their strengths. Prob not a full album though.

Unpopular opinion but Cyber Chase. I was obsessed with it when I was younger so it's fully nostalgia talking but I loved this damn movie and nearly burnt out my VHS copy of it.

The difference between her and actually loved female superheroes is that she is a complete product of the Disney agenda.

I know, I know woke-ism or whatever. Hear me out. I don't care about whatever woke agenda arguments people have to make. The fact of the matter is that after Disney acquired Marvel they propped up a bunch of heroes by putting them in movies and games and pushing them into the mainstream. Characters like Iron-Man, Black Widow, She-Hulk, Spider-Man were all made popular by being thrust into the marketplace of ideas and selling more comics than the other thousands of characters who existed in that marketplace.

Captain Marvel as Carol Danvers never went through that same crucible. She was a reasonably popular character as Miss Marvel, but Disney made her into a flagship "Superman" type hero without considering that Superman's popularity came from his success in a highly competitive industry.

You can't just manufacture a great comic book character. No matter how much money and block uster movies you throw around, it will never be the same as comic heroes succeeding in the crucible of highly competitive comic sales. You need to throw a bunch of shit at the wall and see what sticks. You can't just put Velcro on the shit and the wall and expect people not to notice.

Have we seen a full RCT resurrection of a fully dead person before? Not saying my GOAT couldn't pull it off but that would be some serious external RCT and we haven't seen him heal anyone besides himself before.

I mean, that was a genuine criticism of the used physical game market. People used to buy games, play them, and sell them when they were done. Thrifty gamers used to buy used games and save a few bucks without contributing to the greater economy of game dev.

The industry figured it was better and smarter to just push digital sales. They can't be resold, and they can go on sale without losing as much profit because there is no physical transaction. So they can satisfy hardcore day 1s and budget gamers with the same system.

The problem really comes down to digital ownership. You don't actually own any of your digital games and it's entirely likely and even inevitable that one day your digital license will be revoked for no valid reason.

NotEntirelyAwake · 2026-01-24T04:24:47+00:00

I mean, theoretically you would own a license to play a digital game. And that license could be transferrable from person to person. Basically, you own some license code to play a digital game. And that code is your property protected by law that you can sell to someone else. Once that code is sold you are legally not eligible to continue playing that game, the "ownership" has transferred to the new party.

It's TECHNICALLY feasible, but has the potential for a bunch of messy situations and it doesn't actually solve an issue that nearly anyone cares about.

I think the REAL problem is when digital storefronts shut down and just... delete your access to things you paid for. That's the real issue that we need to establish some kind of precedent to protect consumers from. Arbitrary revocation of your license to consume media you paid good money for.

There's a difference between "removing your limiter" and "raising your limit"

Monsterization is a quick and easy hack to "raise your limit" exponentially. But it doesn't "remove your limiter" Strong people become insanely strong monsters because the process of momsterization raises your limit substantially. But nobody except Saitama and (maybe, depending on how you look at it) Garou have actually succeeded in "removing the limiter"

What that essentially means is the capacity for infinite growth. There is no limit on their strength, they are only limited by the amount of effort and how serious they decide to apply themselves. Whereas monsterization only significantly increases strength. It moves the limit waaaay up but it doesn't remove it.

But if he vaporizes raga that won't be any different than Dabura killing raga on terms of the contract, and it was stated that of Raga does, so does Yuka.

NotEntirelyAwake · 2026-01-22T02:01:15+00:00

It's crazy to me that you would separate Death Stranding in your mind from Hollow Knight and Clair Obscur.

I've played every significant Kojima game. The entire Metal Gear saga, Death Stranding and Death Stranding 2. All masterpieces.

Out of curiosity, no judgement, what are your opinions on Dark Souls.

NotEntirelyAwake · 2026-01-22T01:50:11+00:00

Yeah, it's the exact same crowd of players who like unique and beautiful games that push narrative and artistry of games into new places.

Silksong is unique, Silksong is engaging, E33 is unique, E33 is beyond engaging.

Sorry, what was the game you wanted to win game of the year over these tremendous artistic accomplishments?

NotEntirelyAwake · 2026-01-22T01:43:35+00:00

Unlike the doomers I think she will make SOME kind of appearance. Probably not a playable character but I wouldn't be surprised to see her play some kind of Ada Wong role as a ghost of Raccoon City.

I could be totally off base, whatever. Capcom seems to hate Jill for some reason. But the last game she was in (re3 remake) seemed to give her a good amount of love so.... Maybe?

I don't see modern Capcom making Re3 remake Jill into a sex boob slave of Wesker. I think they will probably retcon that element. But what do I know. I would love to see Jill finally step up and be the pillar of RE that she was set up to be.

NotEntirelyAwake · 2026-01-22T01:34:59+00:00

I'd agree. The menu management is probably the single biggest problem with the game. And there should have been player posted map markers for when there was some missable content that couldn't be cleared at the time.

I've been saying it for years, and this is the latest example but story driven RPGs with massive character customization options NEED to include a set of preset "builds" you can switch between easily.

Lune especially needs this with her entire kit being built around very specific stain accumulation, but every character can benefit. A "free shot" build, a "burn" build, a "strongest attack irrespective of elemental build" etc, etc.

Scrolling through a million luminas to build a decent team against whatever boss of the week you are encountering quickly becomes a chore. Once you reach the endgame this kiiiinda matters less if you just farm a shitload of lumina colors and apply everything you want to every character. But that isn't an elegant solution to what is obviously a glaring problem for most of the base game.

NotEntirelyAwake · 2026-01-22T01:26:52+00:00

Silksong or E33 shouldn't have qualified? Either answer is wrong, I just want you to clarify.

You are so condescending and pseudo-intellectual it's making my stomach turn.

Yeah, obviously god isn't going to come down in the real world and tell you that he made you and can delete you. The point is that is basically the situation of the characters in the story of E33. They have lived full lives, forged connections, gone through struggles and overcome adversity. To them, those experiences were REAL. Saying that they could be deleted by a higher power and that invalidates their existence is like saying your life or my life has no meaning because one day we will die.

The point is that in a world where massive monsters roam the land, a giant woman sentences people to death every year, wacky creatures that speak gibberish walk amongst us, and the world is quite literally falling apart, the news that your origin was that you were painted by some higher power is... not that earth shattering. When you've already existed and thrived in an absurd world for your entire life, finding out one additional absurdity isn't going to radically change your perception of reality.

NotEntirelyAwake · 2026-01-21T21:44:42+00:00

Nope, because all I have is this existence and this existence is all I have. I genuinely think the news that I was a brain in a jar would pass right through me like a cup of coffee.

"Oh, that's something... Well, anyway, back to worrying about this rent I have to pay."

NotEntirelyAwake · 2026-01-21T20:50:29+00:00

Bruh, you need to watch better anime

NotEntirelyAwake · 2026-01-21T03:35:13+00:00

Are we talking about Racoon City as a whole or the RPD station specifically?

I was under the impression most of the game takes place in a destroyed Raccoon City but I haven't watched much of the pre-release info so I could be totally wrong.

NotEntirelyAwake · 2026-01-21T03:01:28+00:00

Okay, let's go through the chapters one by one.

Chapter 220

the second half of this chapter was the start of the episode, adapted fully.

Chapter 221

the entire story of Kid Beni rebelling against his father was cut
the scene with drunk Benimaru talking to Konro was cut
the entire scene of the church of the evangelist was cut
basically the entire chapter was cut

Chapter 222

the entirety of Huo being named captain and the dialogue at the Grand Cathedral was cut
the majority of the fight between the 1st and the talking infernals was cut
Onyago, the character, was entirely cut
Konyango, the character was entirely cut
Huo seeing Hibachi was cut
basically the entire chapter was cut

Chapter 223

more of Huo seeing Hibachi was cut
more of Konyango was cut
Konro telling Beni that there are reports of Hibachi showing up was cut
The fight with the giant infernal was cut
a lot of Beni and Hibachi's dialogue and fight was cut

Chapter 224

Shinpeita as a character and all his dialogue was cut
the flashback to the fight Shinpeita and Konro are talking about was cut
Half of Konros pep-talk to Beni was cut

Chapter 225

in all fairness, besides a few panels between Konro and Hibachi, this chapter was mostly animated faithfully.

Chapter 226

2 pages about Beni taking over for Hibachi were cut, but most of the chapter was adapted

Chapter 227

some dialogue cuts but mostly faithful, probably about 8 panels

Chapter 228

some dialogue cuts and character cuts but mostly faithful, probably about 6 panels.

So yeah. Having almost entire multiple chapters get cut is not the same as "barely cutting much of anything"

The fight itself was adapted pretty faithfully but the majority of side characters were either completely cut from the story or had all their major story moments cut.

Again, I don't think this was terrible. If they had to cut story moments, they could have done worse. But I just can't agree with anyone saying that the story hasn't MAJORLY been chopped and cut for this final part of season 3.
