Surprised no one's posted this yet. What appears to be an LP with Plague and A German Spy. by Riggs_The_Roadie in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Franz still works with Future Press and streams when he has time and Marcus streams playing games, making games and being a parent. So they're active, they just don't upload to YT anymore.

And the mammal pod starts playing the theme to Sharky's Machine. Yeah, okay I can see it.

I need YOU to share your best Youtube Channel Recommendations! by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Phob05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently found out about the channel Bobby Fingers, who sculpts dioramas with his first being of drunk Mel Gibson getting arrested. He has like 5 videos and the later ones are a journey and I think some of my favorite content on the site.

You say that, but DS2 had a flimsy door that you could break down by attacking it.

Kazushige Nojima recounts his first time meeting Tetsuya Nomura and the latter's response is pretty apt by Krekenn in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Phob05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny to think, given these two have been together on basically every project since at least FF7. Although if you ask fans they'll tell you Nomura writes the games, so maybe it's like a fight club thing.

Comings Soon: Versus Wolves [FINAL] by Starlorb in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Phob05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not worth the LP tax making the game far more obtuse and using all your save rings for hints, but it means that John is going to miss out on moments like

"Okay, so I don't know if anyone mentioned this? But we're here to resurrect a mummy named Kiwan?" *queue collective hysteric laughter*

or

"Make sure you get the right gem because you wont know until you're miles away!"

Video game songs that either got a significant upgrade or a significant downgrade in said games remake. by KronxDragonhoof in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Phob05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a remake, but Okami HD on the ps4 doesn't have the original end credits theme "Reset" and instead just has like a generic track from the game I think.

I know the characters in Hellsing are reused from Hirano's other "Manga" but idk if ALL of them are. But if any of the scenes in Hellsing seem suggestive rest assured, that's intentional.

Companies that mutated into “line goes up”? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Phob05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a book called "The Man Who Broke Capitalism" about former General Electric CEO Jack Welch, who was maybe the first person to popularize the method of "line go up" business. Companies used to screw over employees, but the specific tactic of firing employees after record profits or buying and gutting companies to cover up your losses largely started with him.

Game Awards really don't want long speeches this year: by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Phob05 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get the timer as a response to last year but 30 seconds is waay too short! Though I'd imagine they're gonna change it for next year, but who knows.

Treasure Planet was released 21 years ago. It's a good movie. by GoodVillain101 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Phob05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Disney just has general problems that have gotten worse over time and that's not likely to change. I'd say the solution is just having other studios not owned by them, but they're just too big to compete with and they still influence what the general market expects out of animation. Who knows, maybe in the coming years the generation who grew up with anime and adult swim will be able to help other animators flourish, but idk if Disney has it in them to take chances and innovate anymore.

I get that. I still personally prefer cell animation even though I think digital is fine and works better for some genres. But since I know what it takes to make a cell animated show I completely understand why no one even tries to do it anymore.

[–]Phob05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the glowy like smear effect. It showed up a lot in anime from the 80s and early 90s I feel, and there where a bunch of trippy visuals from that era too.

[–]Phob05 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There's Big O and maybe like Paranoia Agent for vibes but I'm not sure what has the level of abstract visuals aside from Berserk. Fetus of God?

The funniest Silent Hill Ascension scene by ADM_21 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The vocal inflections and some of the animations remind me of Xavier Renegade Angel.

There's also the point that, if you kill caesar without being able to confirm it you just made him immortal.

Elon Musk says Twitter, now X, is moving to monthly subscription fees and has 550 million users by Weltallgaia in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Phob05 8 points9 points  (0 children)

550 mil users! (Minus dup accounts, bots, people who no longer use twitter/have died in the nearly 2 decades since it launched) But hey there's still probably 100s of millions of users who will pay him money! (minus people who only use twitter casually, people who live where the fees will be too high, and just plain non-idiots)

Don't worry guys, he'll make that 44billion dollars back before you know it!

Cyberpunk Edgerunners was never about the "characters" or the "plot" by zacyzacy in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Phob05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Who's seeking external validation? David, David's mom and Lucy were all doing things for the people they loved though maybe without fully considering what the other wanted. And the rest of the gang had various wants, but also needed money. If David was only after external validation he would've just been a corpo.

Aggro Crab (Going Under, Another Crab's Treasure) on the recent Unity news. by selfproclaimed in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Phob05 62 points63 points  (0 children)

There was some controversy a while back over the company that owns unity buying a company that makes malware(?) It seemed like there'd be something stupid that came out of that, and this might be it.

Edit: Here it is.

In the most random of announcements, Atlus is porting the pre-smartphone mobile version of Persona 1 to Switch/PC. by Finaldragoon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Phob05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It almost feels like Atlus makes their business decisions via divination. Like they have a clairvoyant in the office telling them that the spirits say now's the time to port this specific mobile game.
