You’re not being super useful, man. Commenting like this is just talking to yourself in a mirror. Wikipedia has some info about them, so I guess I’m a little caught up.
So Kadokawa had this failing mobile game named Kemono Friends, but they wanted a TV anime for it, so they get Omoto Tatsuki to direct it. He takes their product and actually turns it into something people want to watch, going as far as, releasing supplemental clips from the show on Twitter and even arranging a collaboration with the Tobu Zoo in Saitama Japan. This collab gave us the tragic saga of Grape-kun the Humbolt Penguin, a meme in its own right. Since the show didn’t have much of a budget he hired no-name voice talent, launching their carriers thanks to the popularity of the show.
Ultimately, it was the clips on Twitter that did him in if rumors are to be believed. He was sharing clips as usual, but Kadokawa wanted that content for the home video special features, so they fired him abruptly. He already saved Kemono Friends for them, so they cut him loose.
Goddamn I did not think you were gonna help out on this one. Adder, you biscuit. High five. Thanks for typing that out.
Links and everything. You’re a mensch and not a bot :)
Edit: I still don’t agree with you that they should release the data because the company isn’t a monolith and there’s innocent people’s effort and IP at stake. But at least now I feel like I see where you’re coming from.
Kadokawa is a big company that many people already know about beyond their ownership FromSoftware, why they would choose to title this on FromSoft is quite strange.
I know Ubisoft has a history of making greedy decisions, but when I see the disgusting backlash they get for being woke I can’t help but get curious about the game. There’s something irresistible about that kind of salt. That’s basically how AC Valhalla got in my backlog.
The games industry in general has proven vulnerable to cyberattacks in the past. Rockstar Games and Insomniac are among the studios to be heavily impacted by ransomware attacks, resulting in the release of a large amount of confidential data. A recent report on Wired detailed why ransomware attacks are “more brutal than ever” in 2024.
Russia continues to offer safe harbor for cybercriminals where groups such as LockBit are free to launch ransomware attacks against the United States, its allies, and partners. These ransomware attacks have targeted critical infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, and financial institutions.
Yeah, those proprietary apps were always cancer for PCs. I remember I had to uninstall some Razor Keyboard RGB thingie for a friend because it somehow introduced lag to Overwatch.
my ex-girlfriend loved the first game, she even got a massive tattoo of the cat on her back. The second game? it was horrible. It took everything that was great about the first game and just said “fuck it” and toss it out the window. graphically it was nice but it just lacked that insanity of the first game, the story was weak and just didn’t draw you in like the first did.
And make no mistake McGee, on his own, is a one trick pony. He got fired from Id for bad level designs (which, depending on who you ask is controversial) he knocked it out of the park with Alice, but fumbled with Madness Returns and…ugh…Bad Day LA which NO ONE remembers.
So I mean kudos to fans that like this game but only if McGee stays far away from a potential third game in the series I wouldn’t hold out much hope.
I am not surprised that Yennefer selling out the Lodge got scrapped. That sounds like a plot thread that deserves way more room to breathe than being crammed into the ending sequence.
I wonder which Enterprise they would have used. I don’t think any of them are appropriate for Janeway.
That being said, it’s fun to speculate! Was the E blown up at that point? Was it too early for the Odyssey class?
It’s nice to see Janeway in a new whip. The Voyager-A kind of looks like a Sovereign with an Intrepid deflector. Can’t say that I mind the look though, I love arrowhead ships!
