Thinking about how Yoko Taro, along with a bunch of Platinum Games employees, had to frantically rush to save the initial players who would reach Automata’s true ending.

After all, there would be no one to rescue them otherwise. They’d be stranded, unless they were capable of beating the credits sequence themselves.

They originally wanted to use non-player cpu data, but Yoko Taro said it was bullshit and would ruin the ending (because he believes in his art)– so they did it manually, using the cheat code the community only recently discovered in a race against the clock.

They had to use retail copies, because development builds had no access to Sony servers.

Source was the Automata 5th anniversary niconico broadcast– Yoko Taro called it one of his favorite memories.

Well put. (Source: Writing About Writing Facebook page)

Me: My writing is so bad. :(

Meanwhile at Disney: Somehow, Palpatine has returned.

oh holy shit

Anyone else feeling burnt out by streaming services because any time you start a show the company expects an immediate audience and a fucking worldwide campaign of support or they’ll cancel it.

Stuff like “watching things in your own time around your busy life and work schedule might cause your show to be cancelled” is insane

i’m team “not all transformative works are fanfiction, fanfiction is a specific modern phenomenon founded on a specific relationship between reader and text that doesn’t require historical proofs to be a legitimate form” up until people start being snotty and obnoxious about it and then i am there going “hamlet is gesta danorum fanfiction”
