Everyone talking about all the scalpers buying up the latest consoles and graphics cards, but no-one talking about the Dragon Ball Super 8 blu ray supply issues.

[General]

What difference blu-ray would make in anime? (Except reduced disc count)

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Other than the better quality you mean?

That's because no-one gives a shit about it .

It really makes a huge difference in movies but don't know how it will for the animes (except frame rate increase)

The resolution and bit rate are increased which means the image will look clearer and sharper. If anything animation looks much better on blu ray as it has such clean lines that can look messy in lossy formats.

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Agreed

Yeah makes sense.
(Last i watched Dragon Ball Super on just a normal monitor it was clear and sharp enough for me so i couldn't think how it will be even better )

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Not to mention there's no other (legal) way of watching the English dub here atm.

[General]

Why would i want to watch the English dub

though i might try it if i ever watch it again in the future

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Can't speak for you, but I grew up with the English dub. I watched the original Japanese version of Super as it was being released, and enjoyed it, but it's so much better watching it with the voices you are familiar with (and the subtle personality differences that come with it).

Having not played the game I'm not really sure what I'm looking at.

Is the scale similar to factorio? Is is round factorio?

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

I'm not completely sure of the scale yet either tbh, but this is just the planet I started on. As you can see in the screenshot, my factory already spans most of the way from the north pole to the south. This is only after 11 hours or so of play, so the planets are quite small. My next session I'm going to venture out to one of the other planets in the solar system to get some titanium (which isn't available at all on the planet I'm on). From what I understand, once I've mined all the planets in this solar system dry, I can venture out into the rest of the galaxy and start mining other planets in other solar systems.

Ultimately I would say this is more comparable to Factorio than satisfactory is.

I am looking at this and seeing a wasted opportunity to make a 40K game where you are a Tech Priest, building Forge World and defending against Tyranid or Ork invasion!

Scale should be much higher and game will end when you cover entire planet in factories and not a single enemy left!

That is kinda against the logic of Dyson Sphere though, if you can just simply go and colonize other planets in the galaxy, why bother building a Dyson Sphere while you can simply terraform a planet around a young star

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

I don't know what the lore is in the game, but a real life Dyson sphere (in theory) captures the majority of a stars power output and provides a massive amount liveable area, considerably more than any planet or even a series of planets would provide.

Not to mention, you're a robot, so you're not making the planets liveable in anyway either. Some will be by default, but a lot will be ice/lava/whatever planets. I believe you are making the Dyson sphere for humans (presumably to live on).
