7:02 PMSheekago​WTF. That must be the dumbest friend in the world

7:04 PMSheekago​oh ok

7:04 PMSheekago​whew

7:05 PMSheekago​I've been meaning to watch that movie. I loved Roger Rabbit movie

7:06 PMCafeFox​hey

7:06 PMSheekago​hey cafefox

7:06 PMCafeFox​I thought Rescue Rangers was great. few things were odd choices..

7:07 PMCafeFox​hey sheekago

7:07 PMSheekago​OMG I hate when they do that. I got angry at IGN for put a spoiler on IG a few times

7:08 PMCafeFox​IGNs the worst with that

7:09 PMSheekago​If there'd be any cameo Transformer, it'd be Perceptor in microscope form being used by Gadget or something

7:10 PMSheekago​Wait, Gadget was an inventor not a scientist... NM

7:11 PMCafeFox​could have sworn I saw a transformer in it somewhere

7:11 PMSheekago​Cafefox, maybe it's MEgatron in gun form?

7:13 PMSheekago​So do all the voice actors return to reprise their roles?

7:16 PMSheekago​Disney is going to have a task force to take out people who violate their copyright

7:17 PMCafeFox​gadget yes, monty might have been a sound alike

7:20 PMCafeFox​there was a scene that was actually 2d animated, shows that they could have done all of it that way

7:21 PMCafeFox​molehill mountain of madness

7:27 PMSheekago​They want to be "FIRST" in reporting. They don't care that it means spoiling it for people.

7:28 PMCafeFox​exactly sheekago

7:33 PMSheekago​ The Angry Green Giant

7:39 PMSheekago​I wonder if Matt Murdock or Jeri Hogarth will cameo since they're also lawyers in the Marvel tv shows

7:47 PMSheekago​It's more like Danny Glover earned the other Predators' respect.

7:48 PMSheekago​Predator vs dinosaurs!

7:51 PMSheekago​It's akin to drugging a rabbit and killing it with an uzi.

7:57 PMSheekago​Get some pink marshmallows. If he starts to frustrate you, just tear into a pink marshmallow

7:57 PMPhyre Lite​char the pink marshmallow!

7:58 PMSheekago​have a great night

Chat Transcript:

7:01 PMSheekago​Hi all

7:01 PMLee Showron​Hey

7:02 PMSheekago​How's the javascript going?

7:02 PMCafeFox​hey hey

7:02 PMLee Showron​We going learn to program?

7:05 PMRerum Trading​2nd like

7:12 PMLyricallyC​Hello, everyone. Oh, this chart thing is nonsenical

7:12 PMLyricallyC​Why??

7:13 PMJared Knisely​lucio, torbjorn, zaria

7:13 PMJared Knisely​torbjorn is straight has a daughter

7:14 PMJared Knisely​he is very cultured by the way

7:14 PMLyricallyC​It's not needed at all. Just make a diverse cast

7:15 PMJared Knisely​torb-yorn

7:16 PMJared Knisely​j has ya sound

7:16 PMAnberye​this was a weird chart to see

7:19 PMLyricallyC​I heard nothing about Call Of Duty: Vanguard. That game came and went

7:20 PMSheekago​Sometimes, Blizzard, sharing is not caring.

7:21 PMaddictedtochaos​This can’t end well.

7:21 PMLyricallyC​Some one ain't telling the truth

7:22 PMScrungle himmingworth​I MADE IT

7:22 PMScrungle himmingworth​WOOO

7:22 PMLyricallyC​Somebody needs to be Phoenix Wright cause the evidence isn't adding up

7:23 PMaddictedtochaos​Activision lying? I’m shocked, SHOCKED I SAY!

7:24 PMScrungle himmingworth​so what are we talking about

7:25 PMScrungle himmingworth​oh god we're talking about that horrible graph

7:27 PMScrungle himmingworth​the chart and them trying to diversify is cringy as hell

7:28 PMScrungle himmingworth​how about WELL WRITTEN CHARACTERS

7:28 PMScrungle himmingworth​its that easy

7:28 PMScrungle himmingworth​no one wants to actually put work into characters anymore

7:30 PMScrungle himmingworth​you can go to lousiana and ask about canjun culture and someone there will go on and on about their culture

7:32 PMSheekago​You have to write what you know. If you try to write for a character that has kids, and you don't have any, it won't feel genuine. Same for different races, genders.

7:33 PMSheekago​That's why they need to hire more diverse people

7:33 PMScrungle himmingworth​whenever I write I always use morrowind as my inspiration

7:33 PMScrungle himmingworth​the sheer lore and just level of detail in morrowind is just. God it plays more like a simulation than an RPG

7:35 PMLyricallyC​Indie World?

7:35 PMLyricallyC​Congrats Andrew
