  • Going to repost a comment I made on another post, since it seems like people are misunderstanding the situation:

    My understanding was that this game was not covered by the strike, and so the voice actors decided to withhold their work for essentially no reason and with zero union protection. I saw on another article that the voice actors involved knew that the game was not covered by the strike and decided to strike anyways. I’m not entirely sure what they expected.

    I’m not saying that the union or Mihoyo are bad, but this issue seems to stem from something else entirely (individual voice actors going rogue and doing an unofficial strike)


  • Pretty sure lunar effect is a real, scientifically confirmed thing, just known by a different name. Perhaps not the full moon specifically, but we do oscillate according to the moon phase. It’s called circalunar cycles. The name might sound familiar to circadian cycles because they both derive from the same word structure, ie circa-dia (“around a day”) and circa-lunar (“around a month”)

    At minimum, I’m quite surprised that Wikipedia lists this as a pseudoscience, because my impression has generally been that circadian researchers acknowledge circalunar cycles as a given
