Giant Bernadette Takes Over Pasadena in Stuart Fails to Save the Universe

Melissa Rauch returns as Bernadette in Episode 3 of Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, portraying an 80-foot-tall version of the character in a mocap-driven sequence that sends a miniature Pasadena into chaos. Rauch loved wearing the motion-capture suit, stomping through the city and even asking for extra takes as the production built a detailed miniature set. The giant-Bernadette stunt underscores the character’s bite despite her small stature, with several behind-the-scenes gags and acknowledgments of the original Big Bang Theory cast, plus a playful update on Sheldon’s Magic Realm fate.

Handedness Is Shaped by Practice and Tools, Not Birth

3D motion capture shows no innate arm dominance during plain reaching or with added wrist weight; a lightweight stick strapped to the forearm reveals a dominant-hand gap, while writing with elbows eliminates it—demonstrating that handedness arises from lifelong tool-use practice and can be reshaped through targeted training, challenging the idea of fixed, biology-driven dominance.

Capcom’s Pragmata used a ‘Diana Police’ to perfect its young heroine’s innocence

Capcom’s Pragmata development team formed a female group nicknamed the Diana Police to review Diana’s childlike innocence, guiding motion capture and voice acting so she feels natural rather than contrived; the Japanese voice actress was told to avoid being overly cute. Capcom noted women are better at spotting such “cunning” cuteness. Pragmata sold around 2 million copies by May, and a sequel remains a possibility.
