@LukeAlmighty She was seen in the trailer for a second, it's not easy to catch, but she's there. Can't find the exact older trailer, but here's another glimpse at her from a couple of weeks ago.
@geistigbehindert “According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that the HoneyBeez should be able to fly. Their wings are too small to get their massive fat bodies off the ground. The HoneyBeez, of course, don't fly.”
Finished Citadel, which is a pretty good shooter, with interesting mechanics. Aside from the usual double jump, and aim down sights, that we have come to expect, you can also quick reload, which drops the previous magazine with all its bullets inside, that you have to then pick up if you want your bullets back. Other weapons require you load one bullet at a time.
Just started Beyond Citadel, and it also introduces new mechanics, where the empty magazine needs to be removed first, and the gun needs to be cocked after reloading.
Sounds tedious, but actually pumping the shotgun for each shot feels both exciting and cool as shit.
In the early 2000's, in Metropolis (2001) movie, Planetes (2003) series, and others, anime was able to incorporate 3D into 2D scenes smoothly.
Then, for no apparent reason, came over a decade of choppy 3D animation, from Kemono Friends to Berserk remake, Dorohedoro, etc...
Finally, this decade, Demon Slayer (2024) comes out with smooth 3D animation again. (Not recommended BTW, the animation is good, but the story is mediocre)
What the hell happened in the 2010's?
Mauling it over with a friend, the best I could find was Blender. 3D software was either not as good, or too expensive, and there was a generation of animators who didn't know how to use it well as a result, at least in the anime industry. Then Blender rose to prominence around 2019.
As good a reason as any, but I'm not 100% convinced.
Full pic. Also context: Some rando is generating AI images of how Nolan's Odyssey would look like if it was good. This is supposed to be Hera, I think.
@LukeAlmighty Looks like armor to bridge the gap and protect the armpit. All I could find for that was Rondel(s) which is a disc shaped piece that protects that gap.
This might just be a fantasy thing, but I'm sure it has a name.
@LukeAlmighty I think most people include the preparation and cleanup in their mental calculation. When you say you workout for 2 hours, most people understand that to include everything around that.
"I don't have the time" doesn't mean I can't lift something heavy for 30 minutes, it means I don't have 2~3 hours to get in the car, drive somewhere, exercise, shower, drive back, crash on the sofa for a bit to recover, and then continue my day.
My aunt was really impressed with my tablet, she's an artsy type, genuinely talented, but says she has no time to practice. I asked why she doesn't have time, and she started explaining to me about mixing paints and cleaning brushes, I didn't consider that.
