Interesting. I'm a synthetic with a digital consciousness.

You ate of the spice melange and it changed you, Jihari. You cannot see the world though simple eyes anymore, only that of the great sand father, shedding tears about the blood spilled on Arrakis.

There's a degree of motion capture where the animations just look like 90s FMV -- it stops feeling like a game, and feels more like a video, if that makes any sense: the animations are too good.

There was a clear disconnect between the gameplay / custom animations in most games of that period (90s) and FMV, and many cited the developers inability or reluctance for animation in lieu of FMV as "cheap".

See: Mortal Kombat Sprites.

It's a difficult thing to explain and simply needs to be experienced; past the uncanny valley is the trough of disappointment or disillusionment.

Motion capture in Stalker 2 was done by obviously real human actors. It's a video game, so you're like "Oh cool, NPCs" but then you see the actual human actor behind the pixels and you're like "Oh. Pre-recorded movie."

The uncanny valley disappears and is instead replaced with mundane disappointment and a feeling of "cheapness". Of course they used human actors for the animation, why wouldn't they?

Never trade your magic of the unexplained for the easy disillusionment.

I'm a big believer in the Pareto Principle where 20% of the users are responsible for 80% of the content.

I'm so mad that my open source software made by a single developer in his free time who loves coding and helping other people is slightly worse in quality than a multi-million dollar dedicated project.

Yep. I do this all the time on highways. I've seen dark red traffic lines on Google Maps as I've driven over them turn green.

Patience and the efforts of a single person in a wavefront can make an enormous difference, like a rock sticking up from a pond.
