You know they don’t HAVE to say it’s realistic right? They can say it’s their interpretation, but if they’re going to market it as realistic and gritty then we can absolutely call them out on being off target.

If a company advertises a car as getting 50mpg and you actually get 30, are you not going to call that out?

You say that, but plenty of movies and shows do specifically aim for realism when they’re going for historical periods. It’s not like they have to be accurate or entertaining. They can be both.

Heck look at how much retro gear they pulled out for Stranger Things. That isn’t even that far back and clearly sci-fi but tons of viewers appreciated them making the effort.

Personally, I love both styles and have no problem enjoying 300. It never pretends to be realistic though.

Because if you don’t want to be at all accurate then don’t pretend it’s historic. Call it fantasy. Easy.

No one calls out game of thrones for being unrealistic - instead we call out dumb writing.

Ha no. There are a ton of new juniors like that.

That sort of things happens a lot, but it’s also when you inform your manager. They may say to go ahead and adjust the schedule or they’re in a better position to politely tell the other manager that their failure to communicate this earlier is their problem and it’ll take as long as it takes.

Either way, you’re covered and do whichever work is appropriate.

They’re still available at great prices too. Used Ariyas are a steal.

So long as they don’t try forcing it into my phone I’m happy. I don’t want it until it can all run on a local model.

It shows how much our own investment has cratered. Costs for research are higher here for materials and wages, yet they’re still outspending the US now.
