The chick, in this context.
The Boto-cor-de-rosa, or river dolphin, is a real animal
But the cryptid of the same name is a river dolphin that is actually a shapeshifting trickster, who will turn himself into an attractive man (often depicted wearing a fancy hat to cover the blowhole atop his head) and seduce and bang women.
Brazilians with our cryptids:
Running from ac to AC like its cover in a warzone.
Getting your masturbatory material from pornhub is for normies. Real degenerates are home free on account of the relative obscurity of our sources.
While I had some fun playing torchlight 2 with a friend back in the day, in reality I never got on with the entire genre (or its sibling the Looter-Shooter)
It's like
Every video game is on some level a skinner box, but arpgs and lootershooters are the most transparent and cynical about it, idk. Well no, the SECOND most transparent and cynical about it, MMOs still take the cake.
The move to "HD" when the PS3/360 were dominant was the death knell of hundreds of mid-sized studios, and gaming never really recovered from it.
I feel like people who talk about graphics fundamentally misunderstand what they themselves crave.
People want things that are nice to look at. Some artstyles require more computation than others, but ultimately all of gaming is art, and all of art is a conjuring trick, much like Cinema, how something is accomplished or how "believable" it looks is secondary to how invested you are in what you are consuming, yanno?
I do however have personal opinions, and my personal opinion is that gaming peaked during the PS2/GameCube/Xbox years. Hardware was just about good enough that pretty much anything developers wanted to make, they could achieve. Nothing looked like real life, sure, but it looked good enough. And the more detail you are throwing at the screen, the more expensive it is to make. So back then we had a lot of mid-budget games. That had resources not available to modern Indie studios to do ambitious things, but were also not these insane investments that had to please every executive under the sun and monetise everything in order to break even.
The perfect balance between niceness and feasibility.
As someone else pointed out, that is false.
What IS true is that Wind Waker seems to generally be remembered more fondly than Twilight Princess. Plus it aged much better.
Who put the kitten meme in a Japanese adult animation?
I guess this means I'll finally get to actually play it
My playthrough on release got aborted midway through act 3 because I was using mods before official support and the constant updating and mod breaking eventually destroyed my savefile.
Already did, unfortunately. There was a time when she was inescapable in fandom circles. Mlpol people are the most punchable persons to have ever existed.
