It feels so wild that Thousand Year Door is remastered, bc it feels like the only mario game that wouldn't fly today. Heck the original English release had to be censored from the Japanese version

Like you have, off the top of my head:

a noose in the center of Rogueport

Casino. With gambling rip pokemon game corners btw. That is managed by Boos in cat versions of the playboy bunny outfit or were bunny outfits in the japanese version

There's a segment where you play as a naked Peach. She's invisible, but naked nonetheless.

if I remember, at the beginning of the game, you see a small gang fight between the Piantas and whatever the other gang was

Dragon with a foot fetish. Who eats half the audience.

Skeletal Pirate. Who eats half the audience's souls.

Kids talking about eating their mom after she was turned into a pig

There's definitely more weird crap, but like, it's a weird mario game.

Still curious how the Pianta Parlor will be handled in the remaster. Like, it's an important location for the story, but at the same time gambling doesn't fly in games anymore.

So I've been replaying Triangle Strategy, and unlike some of my other replays, I'm actually rewatching the cutscenes as well instead of skipping them.

And something I noticed, is that even up to chapter 10, Avlora seems extremely hesitant to defy or stand up to Gustadolph in any way. And the times she does question his judgment, she doesn't keep pressing once Gustadolph shoots her judgement down.

I don't have any screenshot examples as I neglected to grab screenshots (and I'm feeling mentally drained atm, but some examples are how she loath to admit her defeat to Wolffort to Gusta and when she's saying Wolffort is still a threat when he tells her to rest just before Roland fakes his death) but it honestly makes the scene where she pledges loyalty to Cordelia so much more impactful, as not only is she swearing loyalty, it's also the first time she truly defies Gustadolph, even if he wasn't there at the moment.

Also, although I forgot to grab screenshots of her not defying Gustadolph, I did grab this interaction because ever since my first playthrough this specific interaction has been on my mind and wondering what it's implications mean for Avlora.

Like what do you mean "this I know" Avlora. Is this about how easily Gustadolph shuts down your judgments even when you've the right idea? Especially with the "freedom is given, it's taken" line.

I am tired atm but I definitely need to go back and rewatch a bunch of cutscenes with this in mind.

Oh cool another legends game (thats not Gen 5 Remakes, the inevitable has been delayed a little longer fortunately).

Nice to see the best pokemon battle mechanic might return.

Live a Live has truly caught me in a bind.

I want to take the game slow, especially since it's a shorter game and I want to make that enjoyment last as long as possible.

But at the same time I want to speed through this game because I want to do middle ages because I 100% know I will not be normal about this man based on the extremely vague spoilers I've heard.

I wish I my fandoms were less niche and there were more people to talk too bc I want to talk about my hyperfixations but I'm too scared/socially anxious to pop into my fandom mutual's dms (or sometimes respond if someone, mutual or no, dms me).

My shyness knows no bounds (is terrified of trying to directly interact with people)

#Kelbunn's thoughts #Also apologies to anyone who's ever tried to talk to me and I haven't responded #I'm just shy and never really got a chance to learn how to interact with people

[kelbunny]

So I was curious, because my queue usually has between 100-200 posts...

#Kelbunn's thoughts #For me it'd be around 1 month

Today is clearly not my day. Stomachache from yesterday bc I was forced to make dinner spicier than I can handle bc apparently my siblings can make dinners I physically can't have but heaven forbid I don't cater to their every want and I wasn't able to get any sleep last night bc of that, and now I've 3000 different car shipping companies trying to get ahold of me bc some idiot named Ronald put my number down instead of his.

And I have work today. Joy.

#Kelbunn's thoughts #Vent #Ronald I swear I want to strangle you and I hope your stupid car never gets shipped

[kelbunny]

Love my siblings constantly criticizing anything I like (games, shows, movies, even my own ocs) but I'm not allowed to do the same because I'm "ruining it for them" or some other excuse.

And then they expect me to always be willing to engage with their interests (how they specifically want, heaven forbid I engage with media different), but refuse to acknowledge mine.

Don't think I can't hear you mutting 'ew' whenever I talk about Triangle Strategy or Octopath.

Side Order's been fun so far, but holy crap is it reminding me how much I suck at splatoon.

"I'm sure you don't suck that much" No I can assure you I do.

god forbid a character be morally ambiguous or make mistakes or have a lapse in judgment or have a facade meant to be dismantled by the viewer or—

it’s so fun being a very big fan of both of these characters. so so fun 😔

I mean tristrat makes it pretty easy to misinterpret or underappreciate certain characters in a sense because they’re. three dimensional! and complex! and INTERESTING! and dealing with VERY TOUGH CIRCUMSTANCES AND DECISIONS but even still, understanding the characters boils down to playing the game to its fullest and not just immediately dismissing a character because they made one bad or otherwise questionable decision (as fun as it is to poke fun at certain decisions sometimes like yeah let’s go blow up a dam that sounds fun, it is still good to actually. understand. why the choice was offered in the first place?)

some of the temenos takes out there though. yikes. just. yikes. I don’t even know where to begin with those also I’d feel bad just randomly dumping my thoughts on the matter in your inbox sorry

uh sorry for randomly throwing this at you but I read those tags and felt them in the core of my being

Fortunately with Roland it feels like the fandom has gotten better with the bad fan takes or I'm just good at curating my fandom space haha but being a Roland fan during the early days was rough bc it felt like people saw Roland's chapter 17 decision and immediately threw out all previous characterizations and ignored any further characterization. I think I even saw posts on reddit complaining how he was helping the Roselle in the non utility endings bc they seem to think that's why his chapter 17 decision is what it was. Like its an absolutely horrid decision, but it was made out of hatred for himself and for Aesfrost.

And there was also people who assumed that I only liked Roland bc I wasn't that far in the game (note: when I got the comment, I had already finished my first TriStrat run)

And yeah, there's definitely the point that Triangle Strategy lets you make horrible decisions (you mentioned the dam, but you also have things like selling out the Roselle chapter 11).

There are 100% critiques you can make about Roland, but many of those critiques and takes feel like they were made out of bad faith.

As with Temenos, the mischaracterization, especially when in reference to shipping him with Crick is what made me dislike the ship. Especially early on, it felt like a looot of the ship content was flattening Temmy (and Crick) to fit the two perfectly into flat ship dynamics. I've actually found my self less frustrated (and occasionally) with Temenos x Crick content that actually treats them like multidimensional characters.

And even without the ship stuff, there's people who don't understand that a large part of Temmy's personality is a mask (which also feels very flattening).

Why must hugs be hard to draw. I just want to draw characters comforting each other is that too much to ask.
