Something tangible that impresses me.
Nothing entitled about it.
That's a really good fit. I liked the style of Paradise Killer but some of those character designs were kinda too weird and all over the place. I feel like Nakamura could really make them shine.
I also hope this means they've got a lot more of a budget for this next game.

she took time to have a kid and decompress from sudden internet celebrity.
trust me bro, you sound entitled.
I'm just waiting for her to make content I enjoy again. Yes.
Fuck to the yes, Paradise Killer is wicked. What an awesome combo.
These comments are a bit... weird.

Would it be less weird if I said that I really enjoy her content and can't wait for her to do something I like again after a long absence due to childbirth and burnout at Tango?Fuck to the yes, Paradise Killer is wicked. What an awesome combo.
These comments are... weird.
"Something tangible that impresses ME. I am gonna disregard the fact that she has worked in the industry for close to two decades and has worked on games like Okami, Bayonetta, and both Evil Within games because what the fuck are those games. Nothing entitled AT ALL about it."
This is what you sound like.
No my point is that I want her to create something like this again after her long absence.

Weird thing to bring up. So, them being a woman and a new mother is a factor into a developer's worth or state of mind?
What the fuck is wrong with you? Her being absent is because she was pregnant. Her leaving Tango was because of burnout before that.
The fact that you somehow tried to twits what I said into some weird form of misogyny is very normal and sane of you.
1. The burnout was also brought on by working like this at Capcom and Platinum. She has been in the business since 2004, so I think it would be natural to feel burnout from what I can only imagine would be a decade-and-a-half of crunch and dealing with those dev-pub politics. I also don't think an extended break would affect her creative quality or talent.
2. The childbirth was a weird thing to bring up and it is a constant thing that has proven to be a factor in women not getting jobs, promotions, or general respect in the workplace.
Edit: Apology retracted, you said something stupid and I called you out for it.

Yes, but still weird bringing up childbirth. You might not mean anything by it, but it's still an odd choice and I'd recommend probably dropping it. "Childbirth" is particularly an odd choice, seeing as that's just one moment in both family members' lives. She had a kid, she also must focus on raising said kid. Better way of putting it, "caring for her family."
The fact is that the original comment had some amount of disrespect. Ya know, take on a more supporting role.
They didn't give her Beef or Cheese & Onion Hula Hoops? What gives.
She's done good work I loved the background art of Okami and she has a promising career I can't wait to see what she gives us.
I was hopeful for Ghostwire under her direction but not at the expense of her health bless her.

We have funyons here too but they're just called Onion Rings. Hula Hoops are just round crisps/potato chips in particular shape that you can put on your finger tips and eat one by one if you wish to lol.
Sorry if the pics are large.
It's a six pack; 2 x Salt & Vinegar, 2 x Ready Salted, 2 x Cheese & Onion.
I saw this earlier this morning and got pretty excited. I'm sure whatever they cook up will be deliciously weird and charming, but personally I hope they take another stab at the world they built with Paradise Killer. You could leverage that aesthetic and worldbuilding groundwork into so many other genres and make something amazing.

Reminds me of Bugles. Lol
They brought up pregnancy/childbirth to partially explain the time gap, clearly. She even explained her absence last year was due to it (5 weeks after the fact.) It's weirder to assert it's "just one moment in both family member's lives" as if it's not a major physical event that often has lasting impact. Especially for first-time mothers, you know how common perineal tearing is? Post-childbirth surgery? Some real disingenous nonense in here, there was nothing wrong with Mifec's post taking her kid into account y'all are reaching hard.
🙄 I'm a woman, you might want to pump the brakes on telling me how childbirth works.
