The animation style intrigues me, but that's about it
Bad kind of intrigued or good kind of intrigued?
You may regret opening that can of worms Good intrigued because the techniques they used are still relatively new and not widely adopted yet. Everything was built in CG but they used a cell/toon shader to give it that 2Dish look. For a really long time studios thought the Pixar realism was the standard for 3D animation. In recent years there has finally been a move away from that and people are really beginning to push the boundaries of what can be done with the computer, resulting in new styles like that.
Bad intrigued because the execution looks not great. The characters have the stiff jerky movements that remind me of early clone wars but in the bodies of "2D" characters that should move more steadily. Additionally, the cell shader just gives the whole show no texture. Everything feels shiny and uncomfortably smooth. Star Wars doesn't feel right if there isn't a bit of grime.
I call it "head-storying", I make up scenarios in my story universes that don't necessarily have to make sense and are rarely canon. Focusing on something that isn't real helps me get to sleep.
I dunno if other people make head-stories to get to sleep or for whatever reasons. I think it's unusual but I'm not actually certain.
Ayy, I do that too. Though probably to a lesser degree as I do not possess the same talent for writing.
So I'm not alone. Perhaps it isn't that weird and people just don't talk about doing it.
Not bad. The weather here is fairly warm atm but consistently erratic, so I always end up either wearing dark clothes and overheating when the sun emerges by afternoon, or summer clothes and feeling odd beneath the rain and clouds.
Today the real feel is over 100 so I am hiding in the air conditioning once more. Just wear dark clothes all the time so you get used to it
100...that's...37°C. Yikes, it's only 27C here today, and this is the hottest it's been in ages.
A sensible clothing recommendation, but British houses don't have AC so wearing non-summer clothes when the weather heats up is awful.
Alas, yes. That's what I ahve been doing. I considered starting to learn to drive (which I was planning to do in summer 2020, but covid happened ) but my sister now has coronavirus and the whole house is isolating. Maybe I'll try learning something random on youtube...yoga, perhaps.
Posolutely. Indeed.
Woe is you. Ah, excellent. Oof, yes, I have a friend who was hoping to learn to drive but hasn't been able to because of said restrictions. Oh, that's unfortunate. I hope you are able to get through it without difficulty. Yes, if I had some free time I'd probably learn a new language or something along those lines.
I mirror the above sentiments wholeheartedly.
Fortuneately I am now freed from isolation. My sister is still coughing but fine otherwise and seems happy. I'm considering refrreshing either my Latin or German, both of which I used to study but stopped a couple of years ago.
Do you shoot yourself with a stun blaster star wars style?
XD No, that would certainly be useful though.

I do not regret opening this can of worms because I understand your explanation and it seems consistent with why the mere sight of it was making me uncomfortable You're not encouraging me to watch it...
