The Tau Ceti Petrova line scene would look incredible.

There's no need when it's a lot easier to leach off existing music streaming services. See: https://forum.mobilism.me/viewforum.php?f=1332

In my experience - the Spotify cracks break frequently and require too regular patching to be worthwhile, but other platforms like Deezer tend to be pretty stable.

Stremio is a solution to video content being divided among platforms in a way that music is not, and there platforms being a lot more difficult to leach off of.

That is a very pretty retro art style.

It's been four years since UE5. It's not that devs lack the experience using the engine - even Epic can't use it properly - and we're well past the point we're you can just write it off as growing pains. The reality is it's an engine designed to give that AAA style cost effectively to appeal to suits, and last to actually create games that are enjoyable to play.

I fucking hate Unreal Engine 5 so god damn much.

Defenders come in and say the stuttering is an issue of optimization and lay the blame at developers, but fucking Epic can't even fix it. Fortnite has that shit too.

And god that default UE5 look is so fucking ugly. It's going to be the piss filter of this era.

You listen to Shadowheart's story in Baldur's Gate 3 and, since you pass no judgment, fall in love.

Not that different than a lot of the relationships I had when I was young to be honest.

Dragon Age 2 got a bad rap when it first came out - because it didn't meet the expectations set by Dragon Age: Origins and Awakening - but honestly it got reevaluated pretty quick. I don't think you'd find many people ranking it at the bottom anymore.

Inquisition strayed even further from Origins which led to early fans looking back at Dragon Age 2 as more faithful, while the big influx of fans who started with Inquisition found it much more approachable than the CRPG style of Origins. The repeated environments are also a lot less of a disappointing in retrospect than the hollow, padded MMO style open levels of Inquisition.

I think you'd see tier lists divided in to two camps - with either Veilguard/Inquisition at the bottom for CRPG fans and Origins/Awakening for the latter Mass Effect-style fans. Well, maybe Veilguard at the bottom for the latter camp too.

The Forgotten Realms has most of these

Vampire Dragons: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Vampiric_dragon

Demon Unicorns: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Black_unicorn

Skeleton Wizards: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Lich

Fey Werewolves: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Brokenstone_Vale

The only think I don't have on hand are angel ghosts and lochness mothmen in the Forgotten Realms, though I think you probably could find the former.

In announcing the series, Time Studios President Ben Bitonti said the project provides “a glimpse at what thoughtful, creative, artist-led use of AI can look like—not replacing craft but expanding what’s possible and allowing storytellers to go places they simply couldn’t before.”

Except the whole reason AI can do this is we have gone to this place so many fucking times. There have been thousands upon thousands of works visually depicting the American Revolution which it is copying. It's not a terribly difficult period to film.

I was able to do it in Firefox. Opened the dev tools, went into responsive design mode, set the screen size to large enough to see the whole thing and hit the camera button to screenshot it all.

I've never seen that, around me it's just an employee hanging by the self checkout (if that) and maybe someone hanging around the exit. The last person I saw shoplifting just went through the one way entrance with a full cart when I entered as that never has staff at it lol

Why emulate it? NFS Carbon had a PC port.
