@zeldatra Yeah. They listened to all the critics that were complaining about all the reading and didn't think that animating all the scenes is eXpEnSiVe. Still 1000 times better than the fully voice-acted Oblivion or Skyrim. For what they did it was an adequate job using canned animation clips. Y6 was probably the only game in the series where I haven't mashed though the dialogue because of the voice acting. I tend not to skip voiced dialogue (even when I don't understand Japanese). Written dialogue is quicker do digest and thus mashable when nothing really happens.

@zeldatra Him being at EA before that goes great with that... I read that that amount of stocks was only a very small percentage of his stock holdings. Still looks scummy.

@zeldatra According to 2 people on a discord server I'm on, one of whom has a non-verbal child, improvised is easier (and the ASL sign for "Hallway" and "Focus" are the same except for the eyebrows)

@zeldatra i go into womens restrooms because they are typically cleaner and have kiwi like flowers and padded chairs.

@zeldatra I also think 5 is the most varied in style and tone and side-stuff. I really enjoyed the taxi missions and wished there were more of them.

@zeldatra I know that feeling. It felt like a breeze starting 4, as if someone released the hand brake.

@zeldatra Just wait a while longer, then the kids'll be grown and off to college or whatever

@zeldatra I really just . . . kind of don't care? And I'm not sure why, or how I feel about how I feel.

@zeldatra I started with 0 as it is basically the beginning of Kiryus story, even though it was told much later after the Yakuza 1 release. 0 has some minor spoilers for 4 and quite some references to other installments. It didn't bother me. I rather liked it because I got an 'aha' moment and understood the reference retroactively, making the scene a little bit richer and due to the backstory aspect more understandable. The problem one can see more is making the decision when to play 0. When it comes to real downgrades Yakuza games 3 is the one that aged the worst, as it didn't get the Kiwami treatment and modernizing the controls and gameplay feel. Looking back on it it has some endearing retro aspect of the PS3 era when looking past those flaws. Generally starting with Kiwami 1 isn't bad either gameplay-wise, as the other games feel much more open and there are more areas besides Kamurocho.

@zeldatra Kazuma Kiryu is the most based and good-hearted yakuza who uses violent methods. There is a sub story in 3 where he meets a trans woman https://i.redd.it/339rcr2v8nm61.jpg

@zeldatra My latest effort ended when I noticed that I can rotate/move a group, and then get (x,y) and angle data from the pieces, and then I can go apply it to the other pieces that I want to be moved the same and IT WILL BE DIFFERENT RESULTS FROM THE SAME NUMBERS which we all know I love and never want to injure individuals over :) /s #fml

@zeldatra I'm probably beating my head on the wall for nothing, but I cannot understand how Moho can't just let me have a shape object, let that shape have location and size and color info and all, and then let me change its location and angle and whatnot at any given frame.

@zeldatra 2 days into the demo and I think I may end up saying that I hate moho as much as opentoonz and I could have just made 360 god damned individual batcaveing exports from CorelDRAW by now for apple's kiwiing sake
-
@zeldatra One major thing I've got is just a simple geometric pattern I want to have rotating externally and counter-rotating on the internal designs, which tbh I could probably write in like eight lines of COBOL or something equally outdated in concept, lol

@zeldatra Know anything about Cartoon Animator by Reallusion? Looking for something that isn't OpenToonz or a massive monthly subscription for mostly one-off, here-and-there kind of little things.
-
@zeldatra oh, that would make sense. I'm terrible at comparative chronology or whatever, dates were always the worst part of history class lol
