    According to the game's art director, Tomohiro Hasegawa, creating the in-game dishes sometimes involved working off of food photography, but frequently involved actually cooking the recipes that appear. "It’s actually pretty difficult to make something look tasty in the game," Hasegawa says. "And I believe what beats even the best photography is the personal experience."

    Creating a recipe in Final Fantasy XV involved several development team members. According to Hasegawa, the process begins in the art department, where the dish's ingredients and desired appearance are planned out. Another team takes it from there — takes it outside, specifically, to actually cook on a camp stove. "Our team members took out their gear and went camping to cook outdoors," says Hasegawa. "You know how even the simplest foods can taste really delicious when you’re out camping? We wanted to focus on that same feeling while we created them."

    Ignis serves up some very fancy-looking meals in the Coleman-branded camp dishware in the game, but it's believable due to this detailed care in their creation. You can buy that the dedicated outdoor chef could make a beautiful croque madame at a campsite — because a team of dedicated outdoor chefs in Japan actually did the real-world work first.

    The completed dishes, "served" in the game's camping and diner scenes, were then photographed from various angles. They were then scanned to create 3D data for the digital artists to work with, but artists weren't just left to work off of static images. The digital art team also handled the physical dishes prepared by the food team and their ingredients — how are you really going to perfectly render a zucchini unless you've actually held a slice yourself? Recipes were then tasted by the teams creating the in-game models, and the 3D data tweaked as necessary
    I am not sure that they were not primarily using the food in FFXV as an excuse to eat food.

    I don't think it's that bad but I do pretty much agree with this comic that it ought to be avoided.

    everydayfeminism.com/2016/02/neckbeard-cartoon/

    OK, that comic makes a good point and I will refrain from using Neckbeard as an insult from now on.

    I can still use fedora-wearer as an insult tho can't I??

    I've found the term neckbeard is more associated with no true scotsman and general toxicity found in most niche cultures than physical unkemptness. Often stereotypically (and anecdotally) associated with brick and mortar interactions of said niche. I wouldn't call that guy a neckbeard unless he rolled his eyes at me because I asked a relatively normal question about the thing he fetishized.

    I am down to switch to a better word, but I think people will choose to be insulted regardless.

    Ultimately, every insult can be dismantled as offensive and argued against.

    Because insults are meant to be offensive. Causing offense is their point.

    I'm not saying that we shouldn't dismantle them. But really maybe just the really egregious ones, okay? I will never stop calling people slinky-faced dinklewhompers no matter what you tell me about it.

    I've been looking through the post-game analyses of my matches and it looks like I have issues with the end game

    you'd think with fewer pieces on the board that would be a lot simpler! but the number of viable moves is way higher as the board opens up and i keep making critical fuck ups

    chess why you so hard

    I am down to switch to a better word, but I think people will choose to be insulted regardless.

    Ha ha I think that video is super way off base. Making lists and charts is just the way some people enjoy themselves. Just like some people (like Randall Monroe) do data analysis for fun. I'm one of the biggest fans of Mass Effect that you'll meet (though no where near the biggest fan on these boards) to the point that I have a Mass Effect tattoo and I would agree that I do fetishize the series. I've never made a list of my favorite galaxies nor extrapolated who would make the best couple amongst my companions, not because I don't fetishize the series but because those specific things are not part of what I enjoy.

    If anything I think that video is specifically targeting people on the autism spectrum (notice the way the lady is unable to look at the guy directly), though I don't think the producers of the show knew that at the time, they were just describing "that sort of person we've all met who can't look people in the eye and has written a data map of Star Trek episodes."

    people were shitting on the neuro-atypical before they knew it was a thing

    because they knew the sort of person they were shitting on

    it not being a diagnosis, or having an explanation, and being considered some kind of moral or social failure made it just like

    a specific variety of weirdo or unpleasant person

    if you look back on a lot of TV shows basically from the 70's to the 90's, they have characters that if you know anything about neuro-atypicality, autism spectrum, etc. you'll be like

    oh dang

    the fact these characters are generally denigrated as losers, crazy people, weirdos, or at best harmless kooks is kinda

    ...yeah
