@Gr33ngamestone@wendegogo Shows and books don't exist in a vacuum, they're made to be consumed by an audience. Like you said, not every tiny detail needs a big explanation, but the question of why the scanner was made in the first place is foundational to the world, it gives the story a reason to exist.
@NewtonianSlash For kiwis no clue but for Talias since it goes down her neck could be some kind of respiratory cyberware, just a guess since Jetstream Sam has that and it looks somewhat similar.
@Gr33ngamestone@wendegogo You answered your own question. Not everything shown needs to be for characters, it can be just for the audience. Answering the questions of why they made the brain scanner or the circus helps make the story feel more grounded which makes the audience care more about the world.
@KillaMinga The sound team is more to blame than the actors and ballistics people. She is pressing the release but they make it sound like she's pulling the bolt. In another scene Jim is shooting a revolver and you hear shells hit the ground.
@coffindwellers That only works when you give people a reason to be attached to the character. When you make everyone hate him, it's not upsetting or sad, it's just anticlimactic and disappointing
@JesseGolo@Thhnderbolt But then what about where Jax put Ragatha in the deep fryer? If it was just the quick idea of pain she would've quickly calmed down, but she flailed around and yelled during the whole shot. Of course once she was out of it she was fine but that seems longer than just the instance
@FilioBTD I've been playing Persona 5 on my switch, and it wants me to pay for online in order to use the thieves guild. Literally all it does is show you other people's answers for class questions and how they spend their day. Genuinely so fucking dumb.
@vivigrot I wasn't expecting it to be below 500 like a lot of people were saying, but one grand for a quarter of the storage my PC already has internally is nuts
@ShionCEO Average twitter commenter has zero understanding of character design. Everything about the design should tell you something about them, anything that doesn't is just noise. Even tattoos without a big backstory can show you a bit about them, like what made them think it's cool.
