I just found the weirdest bug:

A quest object spawns on a completely different map. Even weirder, it's an insanely easy quest, nobody would have any reason to leave the room without completing, much less halfway across the planet. I think I'm probably the first person to ever find this, though I haven't the foggiest why it happens

I actually never really watched it back in its heyday, my parents didn't allow TV when I was a kid and it had already kinda slipped off the public zeitgeist by the time I went to college. I can absolutely respect what the show's accomplished and how world-famous the five family members are, but I don't know as much about the show as most people. I've certainly seen a few episodes here and there though, over the course of my life

What's your earliest memory?

Ironically, it was my babysitter teaching me the concept of memory. She held out a dark purple crayon, then she hid the crayon in her hand and said, "what color was it?" When I answered purple, she said "That's what memory is!" I guess the lesson worked, haha

I have! I've seen the first 4 Jurassic Park's, and while nothing can compare to the original, they are guilty pleasures for me. I'm kinda suprised I never went to see 5 and 6, they didn't get good reviews but it's unlikely they're going to fail at the reasons I go see Jurassic Park films. I should really do that at some point.

My favorite character from Lost World was Nick because we share the same name, plus I can't believe he survived, homie had no plot relevance or reason to escape the island whtsoever, and he's like the only protagonist character from any of the movies I can think of with that distinction.

Whoof. Man, that's a tough call. I really hope that wouldn't come to pass, but I wouldn't be able to resist seeing the final product, kinda like how I had to go see the live action Lion King just for the uncanny fascination of it.

RIP, haha, but not terribly surprising. Would have been rather funny though :P "Dear god, lads, the fabled Bluth cut was hidden on Amazon the whole time!!!"

Definitely! Great exercise and a chance to immerse yourself in nature and break free from the rat race for a while. When I was younger, my dad would take me and my little brother deep into the Sierras for weeks on end. It's kinda weird to think he's now too old to do hikes that anymore, he always loved them.

Can't say he's had much of an impact on me, but he certainly didn't do a bad job or anything. Fit the role perfectly well and all

Silver Screen / Re: Ahsoka
« on: September 19, 2023, 06:17:52 PM »
I dunno, I'm starting to think new Star Wars just isn't for me. I keep finding the writing really weak, especially if legacy characters are involved, and Ahsoka is no exception. I really wish they'd stop splitting their storylines up between shows, I keep being confused and then a friend says "oh yeah, that changed in episode 5 of the Boba Fett show". I mean, the Season 2 finale of Mandalorian and the Season 3 premiere are so disjointed that they literally don't function as a cohesive narrative going from one to the other back to back. (I can't really go into detail without spoiling, but they are flagrantly contradictory.)

Sorry, I know I'm supposed to be talking about Ahsoka. I only watched the pilot, but the new Sith pair were the most generic villains I've seen in years. Protagonists make moronic decisions to keep the plot moving, the morals are paper-thin (after seeing Andor spend its whole season analyzing the nuanced nature of loyalty, bureaucracy, propaganda, raised values, and the complexity of human motivations and mentality, seeing Ahsoka try their hand with "How can they still be loyal to the Empire?" "It's not loyalty...it's greed" was like pivoting from F. Scott Fitzgerald to a 5th-grade remedial essay.) I also didn't watch Rebels back in the day so any references or plots carried forward from that show mean nothing to me.

This show was kinda the final straw, I'm probably not going to watch any new Star Wars stuff going forward unless there's a very generous factor in its favor.

tbh I've worked with a lot of voice actors, myself included, and changing your voice to suit a role comes with the territory. He did an incredible job, but as a professional voice actor he's literally being paid to be able to do that. Still I think he did a very good performance considering his age and the large quantity of voice lines for the character

I’ve been hearing about it. Is it a space ship game?

It's Skyrim in space. If you've played Skyrim, this was made by the same studio and set in a sprawling planetary system instead of a forest fantasy setting.

I haven't gotten it myself, as Bethesda games are usually best played with performance-improving mods I'm sure the community is working hard on as we speak. But I'm sure I'll get it eventually, any Bethesda game is worth the price because of the entire library of amazing fangames that will inevitably run on its engine, plus infinite mods of any stripe and shape to craft the game into exactly what you want to play.

Nice! That sounds super fun, glad things are looking up over with you as well :D For some reason winter always calms down for me, maybe because I'm not feeling the pressure to go be social and live summer/autumn to the fullest, I can just stay indoors and keep warm, haha

What's your favorite video game?

It's been okay but not great, things are doing better in my friends' and family's lives so they aren't looking to me for as much emotional support as they used to, but my work's been riddled with shakeups and I'm usually working till like 7pm. I can't really complain since it's remote work so at least I don't need to travel to/from an office, but it is draining me pretty badly. Been finishing extra work in preparation for taking the last week of September off just to give myself some time to relax without interrupting all the pipelines that rely on my video editing

Yeah Littlefoot's voice was one of the highlights of the TV series. I think the main relief was that whoever voiced him in the later movies had outgrown the part, they didn't really sound right for the role, so having it return to a new voice within the proper age range was a welcome change

Eh, not really, everything changes when you're making money. I've done some unusual things to avoid homelessness in my day, financial incentives really muddy the waters on what someone 'wants' to do and what's just proved to be an efficient way to keep yourself fed and housed without hating your job.
