I understand why this is, kinda.
I should have clarified by saying people wanting the 1;1 adaptation being like source material.
I know in some video game shows like Halo and IIRC God of War, the people writing and directing didn't play or care about the games stories.
Gamers are finally arriving at the realization comic book fans had decades ago: you will never get a 1:1 adaptation. Every director winds up wiping their ass with the source material, so you can’t judge it by fidelity. It’s either good entertainment or it isn’t. That’s it.
The problem is that many developers/publishers like to remove the original games from digital platforms when a remake or remaster is released to encourage players to purchase the new product. This turns the original games into a commodity whose price is often inflated and, over time, becomes inaccessible due to the limited supply.
There’s a YouTube channel obsessing over a Stars and Stripes mod for San Andreas. Redwoods and sepia jizzed every inch of the map and the "cities" are architectural diarrhea . I was this close to asking if they planned to expand to other galaxies next, but didn’t want to encourage them.
Does the title Dr. even mean anything anymore? You could get a doctorate in almost any field now. Also, a minimum word count requirement hard wired into these scholars' heads need to go away. When your TITLE is a mini essay, you know you're doing WAY TOO MUCH.it's also a hot four months old. the title of her dissertation?
nobody is prouder of their DOCTOR title than a baby fresh grad student, especially when their degree is in a fake STEM field like psychology. congratulations on your DOCTOR title which will definitely make people take you seriously and think you're very smart. I can't wait to see all the difference you'll make using your DOCTOR knowledge to *checks notes* write race-grifting editorials for every culture war snot-rag on the internet. really gives you hope for a better future.
That's pretty horrible, but even worse is trying to pass their fetish off as a genuine question/request for advice from unsuspecting strangers. Usually it goes like "what would you do if [incredibly specific and unrealistic fetish]?". There's something so viscerally disgusting and almost predatory about the way these creeps do that.
If you insist on being called "Dr." and you're anything but a medical doctor, you need to neck. And even using the "Ph.D." suffix outside of an academic context also means you should neck.
