Pacific Drive - Ironwood Studios (2024)

[jimquisition]

The overstuffed genre of survival crafting games is little more than a blur of flimsy pickaxes and exhausting resource menus to me at this point. Not only are there too many of the things, almost all of them offer the exact same experience with barely even aesthetic differences between most of them - an experience largely built on repetition, micromanagement, and a lot of babysitting various life-or-death resource bars. 

Pacific Drive ought to represent everything I hate. It’s a survival crafting game with a hell of a repetitive loop and extreme amounts of fiddling around in little menu grids…

… and I bloody love it.

A Road Trip Through the Broken Lands of Pacific Drive

Pacific Drive is a strange journey through a hostile, unsettling landscape, where your best ally is a hunk of machinery that's clearly got another set of mysteries hiding in its gears, but with some advice from outside the wall and a whole lot of driving, the pair might be able to figure out what's happened and maybe even use it to escape.

Check it out!

Laputa and Atlas

Watching Overly Sarcastic Production's video of "Detail Diatribe: Tears of the Kingdom's Lonely Sky" and they bring up Studio Ghibli's "Castle In The Sky", but it makes me think about RWBY's Atlas Arc and Ironwood's "plan" during that segment of the video Red brings up that the femal protagonist of the movie puts forth a thesis on what happened to the people of Laputa, the highly advanced civilization behind the titular castle that is nothing but unscared ruins and many many automatons doing their programed jobs. "This is why Laputa died out...Your weapons may be powerful. Your pitiful robots may be many. But you can't survive apart from the Earth!"

*looks over at Atlas and Ironwood* Indeed. here is the video in question, complete with a timestamp to the moment that lead me to making this post

That 'Blake projects her psycho ex on another resistance figure' line especially rankles me because her deciding 'hey, I'd rather NOT be a blackbagging army cop' and filling Robyn in was actually one of V7's neater character beats! Guess that'll teach me (yet again) not to trust this studio's idea of followthrough.

So in the scene she isn't drawing comparisons to Adam, I know that because I didn't have a brain aneurysm. Rather, she's making comparisons between May and Ironwood/Ace-Ops because she doesn't understand that being pro oppressed group isn't the same as being anti-oppressor.

Funnily enough Adam had the same problem in reverse.

Pacific Drive | Drive Your Way Fall 2024 Update

Website / Steam

[sytokun]

The year is 2025. RWBY may or may not still be in hiatus, or cancelled, or still ongoing.

At least 50 more useless side characters have been added to the cast.

Maria and Pietro are still missing. Ruby comments by saying "Huh, I wonder where Maria and Pietro are". Yang replies "Maybe they're off on a date", Blake replies "Oddly wholesome" and they all laugh together.

The current villain is a dark-skinned male Faunus who happens to be a working-class family man who is fighting for a social issue that is oddly relevant to some real-life events in 2025. But it's okay guys, bad people corrupting noble causes is still totally a valid way to write villains.

Bumbleby is still not canon. Yes, they are still calling it a slow burn.

Cinder is still fucking alive, oh god why

Rooster Teeth has officially exhausted their entire supply of bright-eyed creators who aspired to work on RWBY. They finally hit their goal of either firing or expiring the contract of every last one. That'll teach them for having dreams.

The merch now consists of $500 shirts with RQBY sewn in microscopic fibre on the inside of the fabric. The show name was misspelled in the first print run, but enough people complained about it that RT just went "alright, fuck you guys" and didn't bother to change it since.

About half of RT's legacy staff have confirmed to be in some sort of really fucked up scandal. The other half made callout docs and tweets, which caused the fandom to be angry for a week before they went back to sharing fanart as usual.

RT is now currently using a new production pipeline, where every single animator's contract only lasts for a single episode, before they leave and they find new people to animate the next one. They're hoping to further optimise this process next year by making it per scene instead.

There is a new RWBY side anime coming out, animated by prestigious animation studio Cocomelon.

An entire team of four unambiguously queer Hunters were killed onscreen. CRWBY has blamed the first death on a team of rogue, disobedient animators accidentally drawing her kissing a girl and confessing her undying sapphic love for her - she wasn't meant to be seen as a lesbian. The second death was blamed on the fans, the crew saying "this was supposed to be a side character, but you all started liking her and demanding more screentime for her, so fuck you" in the Volume commentary. The third was a monkey Faunus with comically yellow skin, squinted eyes and a long moustache named Mu Fanchu whose Semblance involves him making monkey noises and his weapon is a giant banana - surprisingly, he turned out to be secretly evil. The fourth just died offscreen because she was a fan character who won an OC fan design contest, but they had no time to include her in the show - in fact, the time her death was mentioned was the very first and only time the character was introduced.

Jaune says onscreen "Somehow, Ironwood has returned."

Green Dust is now Fire Dust, which Eddy confirms in a Reddit post - not in r/RWBY, but in an obscure reply in r/fantasygeology. No one found that post until 2 months later and when asked, the reply was "Green fire exists, I can see how you can get them confused".

Ozpin has now reincarnated into Oswald Pint, one of eight new boys currently with RWBY's group and for some reason have more screentime and agency than the girls. Oscar died in Volume 11 Episode 3 in a sickeningly distressing torture scene - that's the episode, the whole episode was the torture scene.

The fandom is abuzz over the newest queer rep in the show: a talking glass of water named Clear, who is genderfluid.

RT releases a RWBY mobile game only available in two postcodes, is not written in English and discontinues it after 3 months due to "stupid fucking fans not engaging with our products". Fans continue to insist that somehow, this must still be either WayForward or SHAFT's fault.

Jaune Vs. Aquaboy is slated to release next year. In fact, Volume 11 stopped in the middle of Episode 4 and will be on hiatus for the next 3 years until the crossover is out.

Speaking of Jaune, he just killed Nora. In fact, he did it just as I was posting this. Oh, he's killed Ruby too. And Clear our genderfluid queen, and Aquaboy as well. Oh god, he's looking this way, help me

The year is 2025, and if one thing hasn't changed, it's that hardcore RWBY stans are still around. When asked about the state of RWBY, they had this to say:

"RWBY is still amazing, and CRWBY is still amazing. Shame about those queer and PoC employees... oh well! I'm supporting manufactured fictional minorities so same thing, really."

[peace-fantasia]

I genuinely weep for when RWBY finishes and their fandom behavior spills over to other ones.

Like just for the possibility of girl kissing. They’ll ignore the racism, ableism and classism in the show and in the studio. Disgusting. And then harass queer and minorities for not praising it.

You can’t say you want queer rep when the company your defending called someone a slur until they quit.

You can’t say you care about racism when they hijacked a civil rights movement. And a black worker in their company had to see the n word until they quit.

You can’t pretend you care about classism when bitching about Ironwood when you ignore the workers not being paid.

You can’t pretend to get mad about Adam being abusive when you ignore about the physical abuse workers dealt with at rooster teeth.

Like this is a cartoon run by a evil corporation who learned nothing except new ways to be racist and ableist.

Real people got hurt for this product. No amount of fictional and terrible representation is worth the actual pain Rooster Teeth had done against the people you say you want represented.
