Bob Chipman / Robert Lewis Chipman / MovieBob / Game OverThinker - "Coastal Elite Thinker" who wants conservatives, Christians and manual workers eradicated. Universally ignorant; cannot tell reality from sci-fi. Sore loser with short fuse. Odious Disney shill. Tranny chaser and general creep. Fat and diabetic.

This seems sacrilegious to me. It's easier to be a Dragon Ball fan than it is to be a Marvel fan. Infinitely more entertaining in the modern day as well.

Thing is Bob HAS watched DBZ. Like many people. He didn't need to make a reference for people to understand, most people know what DragonBall is already. He just can't help himself.

Don't be angry and think on the bright side. With the power of AI you, Bob Lou Chipman, can be the next James Cameron too!

Bob fails to realize that the Invincible quote he uses doesn't work because it's the opposite of what's going on. This is at the end of the show where Invincible's dad, Omni Man, is trying to convince him to genocide Earth. He point out how weak and feeble even their mightiest of heroes and the greatest of technology is to them. He points at a fighter jet, millions of dollars and thousand of pounds in steel and fuel, flying around, trying to keep up them and he says the line "Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power". The AI used literally a fraction of the power to make Terminator to mimic it. It's not going to be tomorrow and probably not by next year but there will come a time where AI and computers will make it so anyone can set down by themselves and maybe spend a few months running and tweaking different programs until they get a movie or show that's basically indistinguishable from the quality of movie or show we have now. They won't need millions of dollars to pay over paid actors and unionized twerps and the grunts that make it all happen. They will look back and be amazed that movies were made in such a primitive way.

There is no putting this genie back in the bottle, no matter how hard Bob "The LudditeBob" Chipman kvetches. I don't know if ultimately it will be a good thing or a bad thing but AI is not going away and we can't run away from it. To pull from the chorus of this banger:

If it's out of the bag then it's out of the bag
If it's out of the bag then it's out of the bag
If it's out of the bag then it's out of the bag
Now that is a powerful cat

He still thinks his current career is a temporary setback and he has some bright future ahead of him.

That's all the humanoid Hindenburg will ever be, if things go well for him. It won't, and God knows what he will do for a living. His job prospects don't look particularly good, judging by the fact he didn't learn a single thing since 2009 or so.

Well, when he finally loses a foot to DIABEETUS, he will get his SSI tugboat, so he has that going for him, which is nice.

I find it fascinating how Moviebob pretends to care about game developers so much when it comes to things like executives and GameStop, yet is oblivious as to how difficult Nintendo's made things for them. Nintendo has historically offered the highest costs, least creative freedom, and most difficult hardware for developers. They were several years behind Sega and Sony when it came to introducing discs, something that objectively made things nicer for developers due to lowering production costs on physical media, but those never get thought about because "LOL Sega Mega CD" and "Sony brought in the dudebros". And that's not even getting into trying to outlaw renting as well as limiting games per year (which some third parties got around anyway).

Bob is so much of a Nintendo simp that he doesn't realize that the reason all the third-party publishers jumped to PlayStation over N64 was entirely down to how Nintendo treated them.

 

[The Ugly One]

Bob is truly a petty creature that can't let go of the console wars to save his life. Even Chris Chan stopped hating Xbox eventually. Truly autistic.

Blob is still assmad about the console wars from 1988-1993. That was over 30 years ago.

Also, they stubbornly held on to cart based tech out of fear that CDs were too easy to pirate. Limiting what designers could do for an extra generation.

The carts weren't as much of an issue as the high cut Nintendo and SEGA took from third parties, and the withholding of SDK updates and lack of support both of them used to try to keep their games more enticing to the consumer than third-party software.

Long ago, on a sadly departed site, I read a translated interview with the president of Capcom in the early-mid 90s and he basically said that Sony was the only platform holder that treated third party publishers as partners and not rivals, and that Nintendo treated them more like enemies, basically answering any questions about policies with "You're lucky we let you have your games on our hardware."

Matter of fact, his idea of an ideal society is everything statically stuck in that period of time. All games would be 8 or 16-bits, all movies would be adventure romps, all TV would have that distinctive flair that seems incredibly weird in hindsight... and most importantly, he would get to be important, the kid who shared tips on how to finish certain games and thus gain a degree of street and smart cred.

And I am just talking about how he would like to see it superficially. His genocidal fantasies are an extra addition to his delusional dystopic vision of a "future." Somebody smart and well-read could make a decent sci-fi novel out of this concept.

Just to conclude, if he had it his way, one of the first things he'd do is to obliterate all things Sega from existence. Despite the fact they are no longer in the console business anymore, and thus offer no danger to Nintendo.

I don't get why the cartridges cost so much tbh. It's basically a hardened SD card that has a max storage of 64gb, but usually is 32gb. Mass production should have caught up given how many Switch consoles have sold. The only reason I can think, nearly a decade out since the switch launched, is Nintendo wants them to be expensive. Only thing that makes sense. And Bob defends this.

Chips are more expensive than discs, a disc is a penny or less in bulk for CD, and maybe a buck including licensing for BD-ROM, where even the cheapest chips are going to be multiple dollars, plus Nintendo is the only authorized maunfacturer for their carts, which always means they will charge whatever they please.

The bigger issue is usually how much of a cut on the final sale Nintendo takes. It is the highest of all platform-holders, and non-negotiable. Sony has a sliding scale, and MS does in certain situations, but for Nintendo, regardless of how many copies you sell, they take the same percentage no matter what. This is why first-party Nintendo 64 games were $10-20 cheaper than third-party games, or even more, because there was zero margin for the publishers if they priced at the same price point.

What he's mad about is that his console of choice lacked Blast Processing.

But is Trump wrong? You can put Trump in jail but that won't alter the truth.

Some points:

1. Trump built his empire in New York City. Even if you have the resources, building a real estate empire in NYC isn't easy. It requires grit, intelligence, and cutthroat skills, none of which these Xitter commentators have.
2. Detroit was a "gritty" city, right until the Democrats took charge. Now it's just a nigger-infested hellhole.
3. Trump is not wrong.

Bobby's still pissed off.

 

[Jetpack Himmler]

Bob is so much of a Nintendo simp that he doesn't realize that the reason all the third-party publishers jumped to PlayStation over N64 was entirely down to how Nintendo treated them.

The big turning point was Squaresoft and Enix ditching the Nintendo 64 because Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest were the biggest video game franchises in Japan. Same with Capcom and Konami, who also jumped on the PlayStation and Saturn as quickly as they could.

For as much as people (rightfully) shit on SEGA for fucking up with how they handled the Sega CD, 32X, and Saturn, Nintendo still managed to fuck up even worse. It all goes back to how Nintendo spurned Sony over the never-released CD add-on. Sony ended up entering the market on their own and dominating it for a couple generations.

 

[Sexy Peach Emoji]

Robert should show us his chops by making his Paradise Lost Care Bears film proof of concept/trailer/whatever in AI. But he won't, because he won't use the tool that makes it possible to show us the brilliant insights of his mind. Also because he has no brilliant insights.

 

[A Very Big Fish]

Detroit was a "gritty" city, right until the Democrats took charge. Now it's just a nigger-infested hellhole.

I remember I once saw a comment where someone said the film, "Don't Breathe" was set in a post-apocalypse because of the ending where the survivor is running in an abandoned city suburb. The commenter was then informed that no, it was just Detroit, in present day.

It is kinda mind-blowing that the real Detroit is more of a hellhole than the blighted shithole the version in RoboCop was.

Square was also pretty pissed off about how much money they lost on projects they scrapped that were beginning dev for the add-on, and had to rework Secret of Mana massively to make it fit a cartridge to try to offset the financial impact of the cancelled projects.

I think most, if not all, of the late SNES-era Japanese-developed Square games were impacted in one way or another by the whole ordeal, and Sony had been so helpful with technical and development support for the CD projects that it was a real no-brainer for Square to jump ship.
