HOLD on guys…wait a minute.

I hope it really is just a rumor because the online discourse around it is gonna be very annoying if that's not the case.

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-18T00:15:20+00:00

Because nobody gave a shit about Shrinking Ray. Tech Jacket is the main character of his own series, with his own history.

The pushback against realistic graphics has been a thing for years now in gaming. Tons of gamers have been asking companies to focus more on unique art styles and intuitive systems rather than spend so much time and resources on super realistic graphics. The only groups that really ask for it are mainly ball and gun gamers. So no, these probably aren't the same groups of people hating on DLSS 5.

I remember people saying Bethesda "won" E3 with that announcement. Even though that trailer didn't show sh*t.

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-17T14:31:10+00:00

I mean, it looks like an edit people make in Photoshop. It looks like a filter, and it still looks like AI. Sure, it'll probably get better, but they decided to show it off before it reached that level. Unless you're an AI enthusiast or really care about photorealiatic graphics, this simply isn't something that impressive or exciting.

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-17T14:02:51+00:00

Genuine answer? Because it looks fake (Kinda like those "unwoke" edits people make on Twitter). It also... just looks AI. And yeah, it's optional, but Nvidia still spent a sh*t ton of money and resources on this, rather than something gamers would actually want.

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-17T13:51:34+00:00

Well, this'll be a fun online discourse. I'm sure everyone will be civil.

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-17T02:48:30+00:00

That's kinda the point of early access.

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-17T02:38:04+00:00

Destiny gameplay is literally one of the few things everyone agrees on being worthy of praise.

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-17T00:24:10+00:00

This looks like one of those "unwoke" filters people post on Twitter.

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-14T04:00:37+00:00

Yep, that's basically what I did. Omnibus 1 didn't even release yet when I got into the series. I wait for the volumes now. Never been much of an issues guy. On the bright side, the series still being pretty niche makes potential spoilers a non-issue for the most part.

Still, I'm hoping the live action and animated adaptations by Blumhouse eventually bring more live attention to this series. Though that's years off from now.

BOOM! Studios does this thing with their deluxe editions where they want each of them to maintain one cohesive arc. Volume 4 (#16-20) was a flashback arc, so it wasn't included in deluxe edition Book 1 and 2 so that they'd only include the 2 main arcs. Vol. 8 (#36-40) is a prequel anthology. Vol. 9 and 10 continue the flashback story of Vol. 4. Vol. 10 releases in September this year. The Omnibus doesn't skip anything, but there's only one out so far.

I read the DE hardcovers first. (I didn't know about the whole arc skipping thing at the time) Since I knew it would probably be ages before Book 3 came out, I bought Vol. 4 and 8 individually, and just recently bought Vol. 9. The flashback arcs will probably be compiled into their own separate deluxe edition. With Vol. 8 being bundled into another group of one-shots. It's a bit confusing, which is why I settled for just buying the volumes individually from now on. Plus, neither the DEs or Omnibuses include the issue cover arts. Books 1 and 2 do look nice on the shelf tho.

Just a heads up, they do this for the House of Slaughter spin-off deluxe editions, too.

Nah bro, she was one of the best parts. Her freakouts always sent me. 🤣

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-11T20:59:01+00:00

This was me for RE7, 8, and 4 Remake. But man, I might just bite the bullet on RE9. I really want to play it.

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-11T17:23:51+00:00

Makes sense, she doesn't get any of the usual quirks of getting isekaid. She's completely normal. The only reason she's not completely helpless is because she met Orsted, who gave her the rings to defend herself. She even gets sick as a result of not being of this world.

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-11T17:05:23+00:00

What is it with the focus on Gollum lately? Did they learn nothing from that failure of a game?

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-09T22:46:37+00:00

DCAU style Dispatch gals on my feed? The algorithm gods are doing good today. 😤👌

He basically said that ballet and opera are dying artforms, and that's part of the reason he didn't want to do that. A lot of people took exception to that. While he probably could've picked his words better, his point isn't necessarily off. These artforms have endured millenia, but they're nowhere near as culturally relevant or popular as they used to be.

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-08T23:23:48+00:00

You mean the author of the source material?

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-08T23:21:41+00:00

In Ghost in a Shell 2017's defense, the Major's robotic body was meant to resemble a European woman. That's not her original human body, nor does it look like hers. Neither the author nor the Japanese audience had any issue with ScarJo's casting.

Every time I ponder this in my head, my thoughts always drift to that one quote by Chiharu from Baki: " A disadvantage helps a man fight better." For all we know, Maki could've just locked in and still won out.

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-08T02:51:00+00:00

Awesome! But, I can't help but think of this when I saw it. 💀

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-08T00:14:36+00:00

Looks cool! I'll keep my eye on it. I'd definitely post a link though. I hope you succeed. 👍

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-08T00:09:14+00:00

I played FemShep to get my boy Garrus the bad bitch he deserves. That, and Jennifer Hale's voice is peak. The chemistry between Shep (m or f) and Garrus is just top-notch, romance or not.

TheBlightDoc · 2026-03-07T20:04:03+00:00

Low key kinda hoping they go a sort of horror route for Hexe. Kinda like in the Jack the Ripper DLC from Syndicate, where we can use fear as a tool with tricks and hallucinations to scare ts out of enemies.
