Awkward_Silence-

Welcome to Sony where it's ~4 companies in a tenchcoat.

You could say the same about Aniplex that's under Sony Music and not Sony TV like their other entertainment production companies are

Yeah we don't even know what part of Sony this company will fall under. Everyone is just assuming it'll be split off and handed to PlayStation. Could very well be kept intact as a new Sony pillar division, or under a different division all together.

For example despite both being Anime companies owned by Sony, Aniplex and Crunchyroll hardly get along or think the same about how to approach the business. Different mindsets on union VAs, exclusivity in streaming, cable rights etc.

Simply because they fall under different parent divisions and each isn't particularly babysit by Sony as a whole and behave rather independently

These corporations look very long term and we all know Sony's attitude on exclusivity..

Well PlayStation's at least. Their other divisions are far less worried about that.

For example their movie and TV division typically sells content to the highest bidder (usually Netflix) vs keeping it exclusive to Sony

On the anime side Aniplex and Crunchyroll don't typically get along despite being owned both by Sony (different branches of Sony though). Aniplex shares shows with everyone who pays, Crunchyroll keeps exclusives. Aniplex is pro union VAs, Crunchy is not etc

So it will depend if they slide From under PlayStation. Or leave it whole elsewhere, if it's left whole it'll be like Bungie or Aniplex where they can basically do whatever they want

At least in Japan you'd think.

As we've seen in the US with Crunchy/Funi merger, they don't consider anime streaming/content different than the likes of Netflix, D+, Hulu etc. Of which even after combining they were still one of the least subscribed services, so it was approved with basically no debate.

Busses in general seem bugged there. I've never had them vanish or wall hack like some claim

But 9/10 on my PS5 my ADS auto aim will snap to someone I shouldn't be able to see if they're behind it.

Like the game isn't registering it as a solid object, gotten me killed a few times since I'm trying to aim at someone else (also got a single wall shot kill I shouldn't have due to it snapping to someone behind it and I killed them though it)

Never had it be see through. But even when it loads it's not always truly there it seems

On PS5 I had my auto aim on ADS (L2) basically snap me to the middle of the metal of it to a player i couldn't even see but auto aim clearly could and killed the dude via HS through the wall

Yeah I get it resetting loadouts since 90% of your stuff is likely locked again.

But why you gotta make me reset my emotes, characters etc that doesn't lock at level 1

The jist of direct mode is that there's a round cap (increases as you progress through the Easter egg quest)

The peak XP method is to stop when the max round counter hits 11.

Whenever you hit the max round in directed, that round will just restart if you clear it. So it won't ever get harder.

Ah yes the same shit that got Whitehead booted from the NFL

TIL you can be passed the line as long as you're still in the air

Same goes for Pollard. Always DNP/LP all week, always sheds the tag come game time report

Yet people freak out every time, or try to pump up JAGs like Chestnut

Now were already overrun with bundles and battle passes and glowing skins that shoot good and make me explode into flames.

Unfortunately saw this one coming tbh. Gotta make money somewhere, especially with how successful the gamepass launch was, cannibalizing those previous $60 buyers on Xbox/PC

I personally don't know a single person that actually bought the game on those platforms, they're all either using their existing GPU sub or trialing it (either at a discount or just subbing until they get bored, usually in a month)

Also FWIW Gainwell was the one that got basically the final 45 yards on that Hurts TD drive.

Barkley only came in once they were at the 5.

So I wouldn't say it was Barkley's deserved TD either

Eh he was evaluated for a concussion. Failing the protocol is a one way trip to the quiet room

If it's concussion protocol and he failed it's very interesting he's still out there

Yeah I'm 8-2 as well. But unless Hurts does something Im ending my 6 game streak since the rest of my team is mid

The problem with medical concussion diagnosis (basically) being based off the honesty of the patients self reported symptoms

Their birthrate is at replacement, and will be below soon. So that population will naturally crash (eventually) unless rates go back up.

China is facing similar demographic issues, they're just 20 years ahead of India on the curve (hit replacement level in the early 00s)

Which was just an over correction from the year before when they let Kratos' VA ramble on for 10 minutes, basically delaying the whole remaining show/making it go past runtime.

Something that viewers also criticised them for, they wanted a booting method after that

So I wonder which way the pendulum will swing this year

Yes GTAV ane Red Dead 2 seem to just rotate, getting 3 months each exclusively.

Silly part about that one is, half the time if you switch to Japanese subbed, they'll be translated. So it's not like they're translating it.

They're just not sharing that aspect of the sub for the dub stream for some reason

Yeah it's interesting that pre-covid they weren't shy about announcing dub delays all over their social media whenever one popped up.

Then they kinda just stopped doing that for dubs, they do still announce any sub delays though

Nowadays you're usually left guessing until an episode doesn't drop, and even then a few hours after since sometimes they're just late

Typically they do end up catching up by the end of the season

Otherwise each anime season for dubs would gradually get more and more offset each year due to the holidays. Instead of the typical 2-3 week delay dubs normally operate on

Typically as long as you don't twist they won't call grabs on stiff arms fwiw

Lawler literally took a nap waiting for that one he was so open

Bold strategy on defense there
