Lara's braid was replaced for a presentation at E3 as it would clip right through her back and neck which looked rather grotesque.
Then we had a huge list of higher priority tasks to crunch through before launch so it stayed as the temporary bun.

Nothing to do with polygon count as stated here⬇️🤦
Happy National Video Games Day! 🎮

Did you know that Lara Croft did not have her iconic braid in the original Tomb Raider released in 1996? It was removed because it used too many of the polygons that could be displayed at one time. Instead, Lara's hair was tucked into a bun.

The braid joints were animated via a rudimentary physics engine, rather than hand animated like rest of Lara.
The physics engine used spheres and boxes to represent solid objects like her backpack and neck to collide the braid against. Ergo, independent of polygon count.

It just needed tuning...

Not sure how to feel, if this is real. I love TR1 and I hate most of what they did in Anniversary, and I fear that Anniversary would be a big inspiration for another remake instead of TR1. (I want sci-fi Atlantis, I don't want Natla to be a god, I want no parents, I want complicated levels...)

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:

- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats

Those are just factual statements.

For far too many families, the cost of childcare is driving them out of the city they love.

New Yorkers deserve to be able to afford to raise families here.

Soon, we'll oversee a budget of more than $100 billion — and every dollar will reflect our commitment to working New Yorkers and delivering universal childcare. Good thing some little New Yorkers gave me a counting lesson today!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right
