I didn't say anything was proof.

It's the fact that they think that, composition-wise
putting text physically near the speakers is easier
and more pleasant to read than having all the text
jumbled up in the corner, scrolling by, as the interesting
part is happening away from the text. THAT's what
annoys me.


And speech bubbles are absolutely possible
as npcs have no problem performing player-like actions
and displaying bubbles AS WELL AS a certain
tool that some players may or may not use has the
ability to actually display speech bubbles. I haven't tested
this feature myself of course, 'cause i'm not a naughty nancy
but modders have also done the "absolutely unpossible no way to
do it because the game doesn't work like that" by giving the viera hats
( though clipping does exist because they're missing
some assets that every other model has and since these are
unofficial mods QA isn't really a thing since they don't have
the resources and are doing this work for free). So yeah I'm dubious
whenever some forum contrarian comes in and speaks for the game
engine and developers' ability whenever anyone has a feature request.


Just because you can't think of how to do it, doesn't mean the developers can't.
Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean they've considered trying.
