If You Look (very) Closely...

Have you noticed there's a picture of Hironobu Sakaguchi (FF series creator) hanging on the wall of the Item Shop in Rocket Town?

The art director of FFVII, Yusuke Naora, even commented on it:

“And even after I stopped working, my boss was still making stuff. On one of the posters hanging on the wall, he added an image of Hironobu Sakaguchi. (laughs). I should be upfront: there's many graphics that even I don't know about hidden away in the game. Be sure to look closely at the walls inside the buildings. Who knows what surprising things you might discover. The Rocket Town especially has a variety of interesting things hidden away”

Hi [tumblr].com!

I require your assistance! I desire to capture the feelings of pure fear and rage! For video game purposes of course.

If you could so kindly send some asks about what fear, rage, and unease feels to you, that'd be quite lovely! Perhaps even details on why or what, if you comfortable of course. Anon ask will be on.

I do not desire to use this information against you. I just want to know what scares people. What angers people to their very core. How those emotions bubble up and fester.

I want to capture raw emotions for the sake of video games.

The very short version of this story is that the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing has filed a lawsuit against game publisher Activision Blizzard following a two-year investigation into the company’s culture, practices, and policies. What they found has been described in official documents as a “pervasive frat boy workplace culture” where women, minorities, and anyone else who the practitioners of that culture deem to be outsiders are often subject to verbal and physical harassment as well as unequal treatment in terms of pay, workload, and benefits...

I know what you are thinking. You're thinking that this must be a South Park character, but actually this stupid bag of garbage with a face is what Nintendo decided is a pokémon. I am a fan of South Park, but just because South Park has Mr Hanky a talking turd doesn't mean that in the world of pokémon a bag of garbage should some how magically become alive & some how be classified as a pokémon. Nintendo needs to erase Trubbish from the Pokémon games.

So this is some concept art I made for a potential video game. I was gonna be starting a bachelor's program for a degree in computer science but I don't have enough math credits to do so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I might just learn coding on my own and then eventually work towards an actual degree
