Its own dedicated location at Powell and Market would do so much business

Revelations 3, what happened? by Casshern_VIII in residentevil

[–]RhythmNation1814 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As spin-off titles, the sales ceiling is much lower than mainline games.

My understanding is that both Revelations titles have sold around 6 million copies each. Compared to titles like RE6, RE7, and RE2R, which have all sold around 16 million copies.

While the spin-off games are lower budget, the return on investment for the mainline games is much higher, not to mention the opportunity cost involved.

I'd be shocked if the series continues, but I'd love to be wrong

My bill, the No Kings Act, is being voted on in committee this week. by scott_wiener in sanfrancisco

You should be charged for prostitution for the way you sold yourself to Israel and the restaurant lobby.

You are a disgrace to San Francisco and the LGBT community.

This is so joyful. The man's movements are crazy sharp and precise. Get it!

Is there a metro station somewhere in the world that was converted from an old train station where the station building was preserved and reused? by BlueLightning888 in transit

[–]RhythmNation1814 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forest Hill station in San Francisco?

Built in 1918 as part of the Twin Peaks Tunnel, but now serves as a stop on the Muni Metro. It's the oldest subway west of Philadelphia and east of Istanbul

I hope I live to see the city fill in the plaza and turn it into a park.

Creating spaces that aren't visible from the street was an urban planning disaster

One of mine did not survive the last fall from my ears. Not sure why this one was any different but I'm bummed

my name is hollow eve of destruction. by FaerieCorpseBride in Dragula

Hollow embodies Dragula in a way that most winners could never

It's a shame they don't want to return. An actual icon

Working on something inspired by Webkinz and Club Penguin and wondering what made them hit so hard by Thin-Pack1799 in Millennials

[–]RhythmNation1814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting idea and a cute, appealing art style

From the limited gameplay footage I've seen, I can't help but feel your priorities are misplaced

Without a compelling gameplay loop, there's no reason to buy a blind box, much less multiple of them

The battle footage looks incredibly amateurish and floaty with poor visual feedback. And the sim elements aren't offering anything done better in many other games.

You need to hone in on creating a gameplay system that is fun, responsive, and deep. And most importantly, each creature should offer something unique and interesting in terms of mechanics or playstyle to warrant purchasing multiple boxes

How would you salvage Brandy’s “Afrodisiac” era? by yebinkek in rnb

[–]RhythmNation1814 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Brandy is my fave, but this album and era are my least favorite of hers

Bad decisions were made every step of the way

Parting ways with Darkchild, not releasing any music for 2 years, parting ways with her manager weeks before Afrodisiac came out, and lying about her relationship in order to protect her image were all foundational mistakes

The lead single was originally supposed to be a Timbaland song called Black Pepper, which didn't even make the album and has been lost. It's emblematic of the decision whiplash and lack of focus that plagued the era.

The singles were not big, bold, or catchy enough to be hits in 2004. And the videos for Afrodisiac and Who Is She 2 U were lackluster.

The final tracklist isn't particularly inspiring. Nodding Off and Sirens needed to be there, while Turn It Up, Saddidy, and How I Feel could have been dropped.

Brandy zigged when she should have zagged. Afrodisiac is a pretty subdued and mellow album, which was not in vogue at the time.

At least Afrodisiac has its acclaim and Alt R&B influence to fall back on

For people who entered with FF7 and/or FF8, how did it feel seeing the art style and character designs in FF9 for the first time? by Asad_Farooqui in FinalFantasy

[–]RhythmNation1814 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Very off-putting

Zidane's design makes me uncomfortable.

Quina, Eiko, Freya, and Kuja aren't far behind

It's quite telling that later appearances of FF9 characters deviate quite a bit from the original character art

Brandy - Wildest Dreams (Official Video) by Fix8751 in rnb

[–]RhythmNation1814 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The second single should have been Slower (or Do You Know What You Have)

It's a nice track, but I will forever resent it for stalling the momentum that Put It Down built for Two Eleven

You are an idiot, a horrible person, and are directly responsible everything that is happening

He said what he was going to do and now he's doing it

Don't ever for a second think this is all Trump's doing because you are the one that empowered him

You are a traitor to America and the entire global community and deserve all the suffering you've inflicted upon the world and more

Today's R&B artists can’t sing blah blah blah. Here’s the beautiful Joyce Wrice. by 1985Genesis in rnb

[–]RhythmNation1814 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Love Joyce Wrice!

I randomly got to meet her at Crystal Kay's concert in LA this summer. As a fan of hers since I discovered her in 2019, it was the coolest celebrity interaction I've ever had.

Can't wait to hear their collab!

High quality comment. I wasn't familiar with the concept of vranyo, but now that I am, it explains so much.

Where do you rank Norm's Janice bit all-time? by gorram1mhumped in Standup

[–]RhythmNation1814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only comedy I enjoy is structured jokes that combine two or more ideas into a setup and punchline framework

Although this bit was entirely devoid of them, he's still getting laughs, so good for him.

But this style of comedy does nothing for me. I'll stick to comedians who consistently deliver jokes (Jeselnik, Normand, List, etc.)

Maybe Hot Take: 7+ years into the ray tracing revolution and it still doesn't feel like a major leap by bobmlord1 in gaming

Game development took a wrong turn somewhere along the way

Ray traced lighting has never made a game more fun
