I was playing a lot of Final Fantasy VII when it first came out around 1996, and used a paper strategy guide.
I got a one-handed controller (an ASCII Grip that was amazing for old JRPGs. I still miss having it for those kinds of chill games where I don’t feel like I need to be hunching over a controller.
Generalize more! “You guys,” “normal people,” “not enough artists and creatives I guess.” That’ll help when you join a new community.
You’re writing a lot of words. Why don’t you write the service? Be the change you want to see in the world, “creative.” Nope, better lecture me instead.
Oh right, you’re “not an expert,” which means you can just spout off “how come no one has done it?? No artists I bet.” and generalize without thinking. The bold sells that.
Then you just keep typing instead of thinking.
“Why doesn’t someone just duplicate Pinterest’s search? Seems easy.” And then if anyone says something, you say “it figures. You guys are just ___________.”
Oh hey, this was essentially my experience too, but with the Walking Dead comic! The TV series used plot points from the comic book and I think you can kinda tell where the TV series’ success started affecting the comic and the whole thing turned into an ouroboros of trying to maintain the success of a flashy zombie TV show.
I think maybe it was inevitable. Robert Kirkman’s original idea of a never-ending human drama surrounded by the pressures of zombies doesn’t seem profitable long-term without insane character deaths and (more) deliberate gore porn.
I don’t know if it matters that the characters inherently understand how to kill zombies. Shaun of the Dead does this well, where they hear it on the news in five seconds and they’re like “oh that makes sense.”
The original Dawn of the Dead I think they say it on the radio or TV too, I believe. There isn’t really a spot where they don’t know and it matters. The thing that forces drama in zombie movies to me isn’t aiming for the head, it’s being overrun.
But I also mostly just like the old Romero ones so I may be wrong!
When the original Walking Dead comic books came out around 2003 I was just getting back into comics and I remember reading Robert Kirkman’s ideas about what he wanted it to be.
This is exactly what he said. That the original classic zombie movies that he liked — mostly the Romero Living Dead ones — were stories about the people trying to survive. The zombies are secondary and, sometimes, even kind of ridiculous (see Dawn of the Dead, one of my favorite movies).
I thought the Walking Dead TV show and the comics after a certain point went into more gore porn, so I tuned out.
But you’re 100% right for me. George Romero made zombie movies to look at people. Not the zombies.
This was actually my assumption for the mouse controller Nintendo showed.
The real feature is full pointer support! The built in mouse is a gimmick to introduce full pointer support.
