Queer neurodivergent dweeb. That super textured voice on Pixel Spectrum and Castle Bravo. Trying my best, despite all odds. Links: https://linktr.ee/derbycityderek

Okay I think you've got me on that third pic

It's basically an excuse to use her RE3 remake design unchanged alongside the older versions of the characters from the previous movie instead of making a brand new design.

(I actually watched all the CG movies for the first time last year so we'll just not examine what I'm saying about myself)

Capcom already said the only thing that will ever matter from Resident Evil 6 happens in the first 30 seconds of Leon's campaign. And you think they're gonna worry about the sacred canon of a direct to video movie nobody watched? Lmao

"It's all made up" is the answer. They can do anything they want. Who gives a shit. You don't turn into a crone when your age starts with a 4 or 5.

That or they can just not do it. Who cares about a plot element from one bad CG movie lol. They can just age her a bit for her next appearance. "Oh yeah uh she does age just kinda a tiny bit slower." It's not like she looked THAT young in Death Island either. Who cares. It's fake.

Honestly I think the whole "Capcom wrote themselves into a corner by saying Jill Valentine doesn't age" is a fake problem. As if there's nothing interesting that can be written about a protagonist aging slower than the world around her. Watching her former comrades slow down while she still fights.

That's about how far back I have to go too if I want to be realistic about my backlog

Needed to look up the video game release calendar

Typed "2024 in video games"

At this point if Jill Valentine isn't in the next mainline RE game it's because she's real and she stole someone's wife.

They're not brave enough to let us make a team of men and women in dead-end office jobs, but they could at least give us a university setting (they won't)

We're just at a point in arts and culture where if something doesn't explode out the gate it is immediately disposed of and that sucks shit, I can't help but think of all the long-running things I love that took time to build that initial momentum.

To be clear, idk if Highguard had the sauce and I am not saying it would have been massive if given a chance.

But increasingly, NOTHING is being given that chance, and that not-a-chance is getting even more austere.

50 days? 50? Why even develop this particular game at all?

The original Mobile Suit Gundam was fairly unpopular in its original tv run but sustained itself through cheap toy model kit sales until it was recut into a movie trilogy that ACTUALLY caught on. Gundam is now one of the biggest franchises in history.

How many "Gundam"s were strangled in the crib?

Except, of course, it actually IS legal for me to hypnotize all the conservative men at the Kentucky Department of Transportation. There's a loophole, because it has Trans in the name. So I've been doing this.

I love making up problems that would obviously already be illegal under current laws and then pretending to solve them.

Unfortunately, congressional lawmakers did not plan on my actual plan, which is not to microchip all of my colleagues but rather to force-fem them through subtle hypnosis. This is a thing I do exclusively to my conservative colleagues. At the Kentucky Department of Transportation. The place I work.

Remembering when some exec proudly exclaimed that ChatGPT could beat Pokemon Red

Like congratulations you made a machine that is less efficient at a children's RPG than a horde of internet users in a twitch chat yelling contradictory commands

And nowhere near as fun
