When I was a kid we had a very popular entertainment. We picked up old wallets, took a dump inside, threw it out on the plain sight and then we were sitting in a well-hidden place nearby where we were watching some poor man/woman get his/hers hands dirty with shit while checking the contents of the wallet.

We thought it was the pinnacle of humour and we thought we were superior in intelligence to the victims of our pranks. It wasn't until I got older that I realised that the reason this prank worked was because people just didn't think there was such a stupid person who would take a dump in a wallet.

"Retarded" one? Well, you could call me retarded or label the way I deliver the message as "retarded". But I find more suitable to express myself in less direct fashion then just call somebody "a dumb kid" or post a picture with the same exact narrative.

P.S. Also my previous message is fine material for copypasta, one just needs to change it a little. By far I see only upsides

I wasn't calling you that, I was asking if you were.
And not because I think that your little story there was true, but because I was legit wondering why you thought posting that was a good idea.

Because this story illustrates very well why "gotcha" jokes are low humor. And personally I find nothing embarassing or retarded in sharing this silly story from my childhood. I'm sure that I'm not retarded :LOL: but I'm also pretty much convinced that I was acting as a retard in my childhood)

Shame about Kira's eyes. I feel like the new version has this "Generic AI" vibe to it. Old Kira had a lot of charm, and the new one doesn't capture it.

But Katya's new body is better. Good job.
mulan bring back old kira pls

I'm sorry CrucifiedMuan but WTF are you doing to poor Kira's face?
Kira has big eyes, big lips with a certain innocent stupidity in her eyes. Your rework looks like an emaciated alien lizard cosplaying as Cara Delevingne. I do not like it and I assume most other people don't.
Here, I tried fixing it for you:

I hope this inspires you. You can do better than this. SMH
I think the new Kira looks weird because we're so used to what she looks like now and any change is gonna look a bit strange. But i feel the bigger "problem" is that new Kira looks more like a supermodel while old Kira looks "average" i guess, i think keeping that average look for Kira helps her character and makes her more relatable, at least to me. Like she's a normal person out of her depth (even though those brain implants or whatever imply she's like a secret agent/assassin or something similar idk), as for the AI Kira it just looks super uncanny to me. I wouldn't say new Kira is bad though i just feel it could be improved in a way that keeps Kira feeling like an average person. Anyways, whatever happens I still look forward to this game getting finished whenever that may be.

This is always going to be an issue. People generally don't like change unless it is better than what came before in almost every way. Also, the fact that people think the new version of Kira looks like AI is ironic/funny. Mulan has claimed that he has scaled back the usage of AI due to Steams ban on AI art and that the new Kira is entirely hand drawn.

Look, Kira cannot stay the way that she currently is in a world where all the other character art has been reworked. Not only does she not look as good as the reworked dorm girls, there are technical errors in the current iteration of Kira. The shading is wildly inconsistent on both her face and body. Even more importantly, Kira's face has been drawn in like 5 different angles than just the main bust, and in each angle, Kira looks like an entirely different person. Take a look at the front facing Kira in the original Chief Officer hypnosis event and compare it to the new hypnosis event in the Gulag. The aren't even similar enough to be sisters, they just share the same haircut.

If Mulan were to go the route of essentially just fixing errors on the current Kira, her main bust would look the same but shaded properly, just as many of you are asking. But every other instance of Kira (front facing, full profile, partially from behind) would have to change to match current Kira because they just don't look the same.

Mulan is going to have to find a balance between changing Kira, but keeping her samey enough to not upset people who do like the current iteration of her. That might not be the rework shown in the status update, but any rework is going to upset people. He just has to find the one that does the least of that.

No matter what he does there'd be still complaints, you can't please everyone, it's not physically possible. Despite that making Kira's appearance consistent has more benefits than shortcomings, in my opinion.

I'm not against updating the art. I'm against changing her face. Like I said before, he did it perfectly with all the other girls, so I'm not sure why he wants to change her face in particular. And no, Kira right now is hot as hell. Certainly not average
