    “Game development is expensive and hard, surely you don’t just build a giant door for no reason, right?”<br><br>The Game Developer: “Hm, these wall textures don’t line up. Fuck it I’ll just put a door in front of it”

    Rewatching this while the Nier community goes into a meltdown over the possibility of a church that&apos;s been hidden for 5 years. Talk about Deja Vu.

    The part that hurts me with these stories is that there&apos;s usually a kernel of truth to the conspiracy - there <i>was</i> something there, some meaning <i>was</i> supposed to be there, it just didn&apos;t fit the god damn budget/schedule.<br>It gives an insight into an artistic vision that was not, and likely never will be, fully realised. It&apos;s like... staring at a wall of beautiful architecture while holding a sketch of the full building. The melancholy hits you like a truck.

    Thinking upon how BluePoint left the sword as the &quot;last big secret&quot; in their remake, I&apos;m reminded of the essence of the term &apos;Fan Service&apos; in its most essential form: it was both a recognition of the fan&apos;s service, and a service to the fans that made it possible. I love that.

    For real, how fucking good would it have been to get the Sword of Dormin, walk out of the shrine, and see a distant mountain move.

    Hey Jacob, just wanted you to know that a spanish youtuber named &quot;Jwulen&quot; has plagiarized several parts of this video in his video about 30 details about SoTC. <br><br>Just wanted you to know about it since this is one of my favourite videos ever.

Aegis plays a clean stream instead of YouTube's player, so pre-roll ads, trackers, and fingerprinting never ride along. Drop Shields any time if you want the official player back.
