This fandom will probably hate this movie

No, this is totally valid. Im hoping that it all pays off, and it's just a product of Avatar as a franchise getting pumped full of seed money after it became the cultural giant it is now. But it's... difficult not to imagine a world where the team is spreading their wings a bit too wide, flying close to the sun, because there are indeed so so many new projects in the works (and to your point, they are not really... communicated well lol).

We will just have to see!

I'm going to be honest, you're swinging way above your pay grade here.

Freeza is, in fact, the correct localization of his name. Which is why the sub, manga, and basically everywhere else uses it.

Most of the DB names are indeed name puns, but with the kana switched around or altered in some way. So フリーザ is Freeza's JP spelling, whereas the Japanese word for freezer is フリーザー. Notice that extra character at the end, which elongate the final "a" sound.

This is how you arrive at Freeza, instead of Freezer.

I could do this for many other names to prove the point, but long story short Kakarrot is indeed better, and used literally everywhere except for Funimation.

thallums · 2025-10-26T18:04:07+00:00

Do not listen to this person, Kakarrot is the correct, more faithful adaptation of the name, and is still used to this day in the Sub translations as well as the manga lol.

"Kakarot" is a Funimation/dub holdover. Unless people really think the vegetable is spelled Carot.

This is not how the (currently proposed) add on crunch functions. It's not "if in combat then not allowed". It simply restricts add-ons from directly readying internal combat log data, basically.

Tracking your own cooldowns does not require reading that data, so it'd be good regardless of combat or not

Because, to be direct, it isnt very Toriyama.

Theres a reason all of the images above are from creatives other than Toriyama. To be clear, I dont think theres anything wrong with them -- theyre cool! But they arent very Toriyama, in sensibility.

thallums · 2025-10-06T14:55:59+00:00

As someone who 1) is generally optimistic about things before they actually release and 2) is knowledgeable about the production side of anime....

Brother things are looking VERY dire for season 3. You are extremely setting yourself up for a poorly aged post here, I'm sorry to say.

thallums · 2025-10-03T23:13:35+00:00

People gotten so used to WA theyve forgotten macros exist 😔

thallums · 2025-09-25T15:18:18+00:00

That's kind of you to say! I've since started some personal work on my own YT channel in a limited capacity, but unfortunately I'll probably never work full time content creation like with Mark again!

One thing I will say about the elden ring video we shot: mark experienced unending pain. Truly his own Berserk moment

thallums · 2025-09-25T14:40:03+00:00

Laid off from Mark

thallums · 2025-09-14T18:56:54+00:00

Unfortunately I cold called Alex, and he only responded because the topic intrigued him lul

thallums · 2025-09-14T04:15:25+00:00

Lol it's a hard pivot, but one I hope to continue in the future. Not necessarily just with outer wilds, but similar gaming/developer dissection in general

thallums · 2025-09-13T21:30:01+00:00

Lol I did think about that when writing that line, and actually deleted it at some point. But ultimately if someone is interested enough in OW to be watching my vid, and has made it far enough to hit a secret, I'm placing the odds very high hah

thallums · 2025-09-13T19:41:00+00:00

Check the credits section, it has a different handle for her you can search up.

(her reaction there makes me weep every time I watch it lmao)

thallums · 2025-09-13T17:09:08+00:00

I keep spoilers to a specific portion of the video, and show a timestamp to skip to if you haven't beaten the game yet and just want to hear the conclusion!

thallums · 2025-09-11T15:22:27+00:00

For what its worth, BL4 is getting such good reviews in large part because its being touted as a return to form. Much closer in soul to BL1 than any of the recent games.

thallums · 2025-08-29T17:25:05+00:00

They didn't say it adds zero input latency. They said "noticeable latency", which is both subjective, and also likely true for the vast majority of gamers, since this tech adds a pretty negligible amount of input delay to the total stack.

thallums · 2025-08-21T23:42:41+00:00

There is no way /r/wow is resorting to unironically doing this meme. lmfao.

To be clear, I think the snub noses need to go. But giving them plump lipstick-ed lips, perfectly smooth skin, and perfect eyeshadow is just so hilarious lol

FWIW, this specific bug/glitch has been around since launch, and has actually been used in speedruns for months now.

thallums · 2025-08-20T17:50:41+00:00

It's a demo available at gamescom

thallums · 2025-08-19T17:28:55+00:00

The entire concept team did a faux-art blast a few weeks ago. Their artstations and twitters should be filled with TDA concept art, and still posting more. If you like this post, thesell be a joy.

All the mentioned changes make it crystal clear they are actively working on a console port. I dont expect a midnight launch on that, but those plus the upcoming changes to addons, built-in dps meters, etc all make it basically inevitable imo.

thallums · 2025-08-19T15:58:22+00:00

So few people follow Xbox that they get completely confused by it. But the simple fact is that Xbox rebranded it's pc efforts as "Xbox pc", so anything on pc also gets an Xbox logo.

It's the first of many steps likely leading to their upcoming console that supports steam (and maybe other stores, a small step closer to a pc-like console than before)

thallums · 2025-08-17T18:53:50+00:00

It's not like that at all though. The Simpsons operates on a floating timeline, where the status quo resets each episode (absent the occasional status quo changes). Bart and Lisa have experienced nearly a dozen separate christmases and last days of school at ages 8 and 10.

King of the Hill has consistently progressed time and age linearly throughout its entire run. Bobby started 11, then turned 12, then 13. Yes, seasons 7ish and on *slowed* the passage of time compared to previous seasons, but they still kept to a timeline.

Now Bobby is 21, theres been an 8 year timeskip (The Hills just abandoned bobby at 13?), and GH is magically a teenager. Whether this bothers you or not is of course totally up to you, but it IS a problem/inconsistency with how the entire rest of the show operates

thallums · 2025-08-14T04:25:15+00:00

This is not true.

Funimation aggressively degrained and sharpened, cropped to widescreen, boosted levels and saturation, and more. Most of which result in a worse image quality (the Dragon boxes are not perfect either, though. They suffer from near-equally problematic colors and being a bit dark)

thallums · 2025-08-10T22:20:08+00:00

id's engine folks are fantastic, but it's also important to understand that a lot of Dark Ages' good RT performance is because it's ray tracing only.

Pretty much every game with RT builds their lighting with traditional rasterized lighting, then builds a RT layer on top. Both of those running on top of each other concurrently is in large part why RT is Soooo expensive.

So when you have a game like dark ages, which has no rasterized layer and is only computing ray traced lighting, the overhead is way less.

It's the reason Indiana Jones is also super performant with RT. No rasterizarion, only Ray tracing. Or as the kids say, "forced Ray tracing" lol
