RIP Mutsumi Inomata. Your artwork for Tales of and Dragon Quest series will be cherished for a long time, some of my favorite game franchises, and we will dearly miss you.

Kind of a random rant...

I currently live in a big city, which I really dislike, but not exactly the point here. There's a big bottle brush tree outside of the house I currently live in, and every spring we get bees visiting it, which has always made me very happy, as it is one of the few ways to connect with nature that I have where I live right now, and I just really find bees amazing and wonderful. Yesterday someone call the firefighters because apparently there were "too many bees in the way" or some sh*t and I don't know what they did to them. Today there were still a few visiting the tree, and I think they'll be fine... but it just made me really angry. I can only hope their hive is ok. They've never been a problem, but people can't handle a few bees visiting a tree in their street...

To play Devil's advocate, the person who called the Fire Brigade might have been allergic to bees or have small children etc. I've had to call environmental health before due to the amount of wasps that got into my flat during the summer.

Yeah.. fair, it's just my mind usually goes to "call a local bee keeper" rather than the firefighters. But you're making a fair point. I'm still a bit upset about it tho. Bees don't know better. They deserve a chance.

It looks worse and runs worse than every other RE Engine game.

About DD2...

Am I the only one that thinks that the art direction is completely bland and lifeless? Hogwarts Legacy had more colorful landscapes, and HL is one of the blandest most repetitive open worlds I've seen in years.

Truly makes you realize why people praise Elden Ring and the latest Two Zelda games. Technologically, their visuals are kinda dated, but each frame is packed with personality, beautiful color design and every location is memorable. Anytime I watch DD2 footage, it's some "realistic" generic, washed out forest area that would make a 2008 PS3/X360 FPS game blush with how little color there is.
