terranigma, a cool game

#terranigma #terranigma ark #terranigma elle #terranigma meilin #art tag #im going to write a little review in the tags bear with me #first the negative: #the magic system is weird to use and basically useless apart from one boss thats almost impossible without magic #it has some weird racism like most old games where you travel around the world. a little more egregious since its supposed to be real earth #i found the main character to be slightly insufferable for about 3/4ths of the game. i came around on him by the end tho. he grows up a lot #and i found whats by far the largest section of the game (chapter 3) to be the least interesting #im not really into helping cities develop and trade quests tho so it might just be me #oh also it is STUPID easy to permanently lock yourself out of like 15 sidequests #and theres a lot of mandatory things that are really hard to figure out. you need to use a walkthrough for this #anyway thats what i didnt like #what i DID like tho. i dont want to get into too much detail but #its a genuinely beautiful game for so much of it #there were so many moments that left me speechless #its high-concept and thoughtful and fun to play #you dont really need to do much grinding either #at its worst its obtuse and cliche but at its best its breathtaking #and i really recommend more people check it out #special shoutout to my friend seona who modded my 3DS and downloaded a bunch of roms including this one #so in conclusion. terranigma is an underrated gem. play it if youre a 90s jrpg junkie like me #just have a walkthrough open also lol

"Mary says you're Catholic?" "I am... or, was. I'm not sure where I'd land now. Lapsed, I guess?" "Mh. Do you, uh... do you miss it?" "I miss God."

thanks to my platonic wife @sga-owns-my-soul for telling me that I'm right and I should say it louder.

seriously like 80% of the problems in multiple galaxies are the Ancients' fault. they put humans on the iratus bug planet and made the wraith. they put humans on the goa'uld planet and made the goa'uld. they fucked up raising the replicators and made them vengeful and aggressive. they didn't take care of the handful of zealots now we're dealing with the ori. I didn't get through sgu but they probably caused problems in that galaxy. fuck the Ancients the only good things they did was the stargate system and building Atlantis

and we took over those. those are ours now. and we're using those tools better than the Ancients ever did.

#stargate #stargate sg1 #stargate atlantis #fuck the Ancients #useless arrogant idiots #and the stuff they abandoned and couldnt get to work?? rodney fricking mckay got half of that shit to work #in window of opportunity daniels like 'the beings that BUILT the STARGATES couldnt get this to work' and im just like #theyre stupid rodney could get it to work in two days #and also he wouldnt need to bc the stargates have a built in time travel glitch every time theres a solar flare #mushroom rambles

There is just something about Cole’s section of the six virtues of spinjitzu shorts. His virtue is balance. He learns how to find peace when overwhelmed, after years of running away, disassociating, feeling too exposed, feeling invisible and feeling like he had the weight of his team, his parents, the world on his soldiers.

He finally learnt how to balance that weight.

#cole’s arcs are everything #every single one was a banger #s1 him having daddy issues and running away #s4 running away from his team after falling out with his best friend #s5 feeling useless and disposable after going through a horrific body change #dotd feeling forgotten about and being able to emphasise with phantoms because of this #s8-9 being able to become give back to the person who gave him so much - but fatherly #s11 having to deal with his own self blame due to losing the traveller’s tea and being able to meet someone else who is also just trying to #the right thing #ALL OF S13 #my man was so hard on himself #I’m so glad he has coping mechanisms now #ninjago #Ninjago cole #ninjago analysis

I need a completely rewritten teen wolf series with Derek Hale as the main character. I think it would heal me.

#we follow Derek from New York. Laura left for beacon hills. it’s been six years since he was back but he hasn’t heard from her #and hes going stir crazy waiting. he packs up and travels back. it’s almost too much immediately. he still can’t get a hold of Laura #he can’t resist going home. it’s like a natural pull that guides him back. all at once he’s 16 again. staring at the wreckage of his life #deputy stilinski is sherrif now. it’s reassuring in the slightest that the police force seems to have moved on from how corrupt it was #he catches her scent and it’s putrid. bile catches in his throat. he seeks it out. still in denial to what he knows it means. #when he finds Laura it’s like the world ends all over again. he can’t stand to see her like this. he gives her a proper burial. #the best he can do at least #he visits Peter. he’s not the man Derek remembers- so full of fire and cunning. their relationship may have been strained at times. #often Derek felt more like Eve being swayed by the snake than a normal friendship #but this isn’t the sharp tongued uncle who guided him. this is a broken shell. all that remained of his family. he was so lost. #22 but he barely knew how to function without his family- his pack paving the way #Laura handled everything. she got the apartment. she made sure they had food. Derek looks back and feels so useless #he was so lost in his grief. Laura must of felt the same way but she never let them drown in it #she made sure he got his GED. even got him to enroll in community college classes. #he took them online. he never was able to warm up to people the same way. he used to be so full of life. now he just wanted to be left alone #he studied English. never finished his degree. doesn’t look like he ever will now. he can’t go back to Laura and his shared home. #can’t bare to see another shell of a home #he vents to the vacant audience of Peter and his cold fixed eyes #Derek leaves. he wants to promise he’ll return soon #but promises feel costly these days #he decides to go back to the reserve. maybe he can find some clue as to what happened to Laura #someone lured her here. someone who knew them and their history here #his mind went to the worst. Kate. why would she go through the trouble six years later. why wait so long. #Derek couldn’t stomach the thought of facing her. he focused on the woods. the scents were all over the place. #clearly multiple people had been through here recently. two scents were much stronger. Derek follows them #but when he hears the crunch of leaves he realizes why the scents are so strong. they’re still here #he ducks behind some trees. listening in on their conversation. but an echo of their scent catches his attention #he spots an inhaler on the ground. he puts two and two together and swipes it from the leaves. #he comes out once they’re closer. tossing over the inhaler- he figures they’ll leave. dumb kids messing around in the woods #he reminds them this is private property. though that may not be true anymore. he recognizes the scent of a new beta. interesting.

There's bored, and there's 'googling why it's faster to march or walk on roads than off-road".

#Seriously though why? #Google's being fucking useless and mostly telling it in terms of car travel vs walking #And a sdv reddit post for some reason #But like #What physical property of roads or road surfaces actually makes them any faster? #Is it just the result of them being put along paths which were already the shortest? #These questions and more on the Archmagos' blog

hi!

i saw ur recent post :) i know nothing abt dc and booster gold but what sort of superhero is booster gold?? feel free to ramble hehe

ooh this is interesting. you see people tend to stereotype booster as either a time travelling hero, or a self absorbed sell out. and sure hes got elements of both, but he is way more than that

he kinda acts like a classic golden hero -- I mean he took a lot of inspiration from superman originally -- but he does sponsorships and advertisements and whatever because he was also a football player before, and athletes do that all the time, and he figured why dont superheroes do that? and that's the thing that most people dont understand -- both in canon (either intentionally, like in the original booster gold comics, or unintentionally like newer stuff or when he gets represented in shows a lot) and just in the general fanbase -- hes perceived as shallow and barely a hero, if anything just a laughingstock. but at his core, hes selfless and he wants to help people. he likes money, sure, he loves being rich, but he also grew up poor, so it doesnt take that big of an adjustment when he loses his funds. basically, booster gold is very heroic and can be very selfless, hes just kind of perceived as a glory hound

and then the time travelling element is fun, but I don't really like it as his main focus. nowadays hes just brought in because theres time travel involved, but I much prefer his original time aspect presented in booster gold 1986 and time masters 1990, in my opinion the aspect of him always meant to time travel back, as well as the methods of travel and the rules put in place. going to the 80s and saving people, as well as just being stuck there because the time sphere broke (and not being able to time travel instantaneously) and then we he did get to time travel forward he learned that 1) you can only use each time travel method once, which adds a fun barrier to time travel but still makes it fun and 2) he was always intended to go to the 80s and save the president, which also adds a build up to what happens in time masters which expands more on time travel and ties these two elements together in a way I really enjoy. him discovering that being booster gold, the hero, is his destiny is also a plotline I really enjoy. I feel by removing this element and restriction of time travel it kind of removes his important character arc with this

but also, the other thing that drives his character is his lack of secret identity. nobody knows his real name, sure, but he doesnt have a real real name anyway. he lives as booster gold, not as a "michael jon carter" (which he does not!! go by btw). his identity is tied so strongly to being a superhero he doesnt know how to live without it. when he loses his suit or even just power in his suit, he has no idea what to do. in booster gold #13 when his suit is drained of power and hes injured and sickly from the previous issue, he is so glad to get his flight ring back even if it's just a hint of his previous powers, and the entire time he is just struggling without the powers he was accustomed to because of the suit. on top of that, the issues in #25 that he has from not being a hero, where he doesn't know how to live normally but also considers going back to the 25th century because he cant live in the 20th century anymore (for multiple reasons) but that was also when he has to accept that being booster gold is his destiny, and he cant get rid of it (he doesnt know how)

anyways I dont know if this makes sense at all or actually answers your question but I just think that booster gold and like how he is perceived by the public and by himself is very interesting and I just love a hero who's secret identity is so tied up in being a hero (where they dont even have a secret identity) that they don't know how to not be a hero, especially when its tied with being a celebrity and having fame and wealth, while also caring deeply about being a hero and helping (if I had a nickel...) idk i just love that kind of hero

#“feel free to ramble about booster gold” well dont mind if i do #i can always ramble about booster #idk if this is what you meant by what kind of hero #because this kind of broke down his character a lot #but for all i know you couldve meant like is he a superpowered alien like superman or a non powered vigilante like batman #in which it would be that he doesnt have powers himself but he gets powers from his suit and ring that he stole from a museum from the #25th century and time traveled back to the 20th century to be a hero and have a fresh start #so he is a superhero that works in metropolis that relies on his suit for power #but also can work his way rhrough problems without it #like yes the suit is an important part of his identity but he is not useless without it #and he is very smart

my mom, for the last 10 years, has been obsessed with the folk pop band formed by the sons of our local pediatricians, but gaur-an-teed they earn similar money to me and she doesn't realize that they're probably costing off their parents's wealth in the way she accused me of doing

#you appreciate the art you appreciate #I shoulda become a touring musician rather than an anime-influenced visual artists lol #I now wonder what my parents expected after seeing my thesis exhibition #my exhibition might I add that they were resistant to come for because it was a week before my graduation ceremony #despite traveling insane distances on a monthly basis on my middle sister's travel ball schedule #in fact I remember trying to impress upon my mom that I needed her to be at my freshman orientation #but she had to coach my sister's travel ball that weekend #and then my parents frequently mentioned the breakdown I had that week despite not getting what I said I needed #did I mention that I was starting college while still recovering from hand surgery? #wow I'm so glad to be dumping this in the notes of a tumblr post hahahaha #whatever I've put up with from my parents nothing is as painful as how useless they were my first week of college #*insert obliagtory 'I was their burner kid; they didn't know any better' oldest daughter apologia here* #xoxoxo

ive been disillusioned with a lot of the left for a while, it's nice to at least see that other ppl see it now, though the reason why kinda fucking sucks.

#i used to think i could trust ppl bc of pride flags in their profile or them being trans or whatever #and then i put allll of my trust in that community not realizing theres a Multitudes of types of ppl in it #aside from even the fact some trans ppl can be nazis- some trans people- as much as it might make us look bad to admit- #are also predators and abusers and want to lie to you and use you for money and sexually abuse you and dump you like trash #and then accuse you of doing everything they did @u@;; ask me how i know! #so on the one hand im happy ppl see it now- it's not that leftists or queer ppl or feminists are better ppl- ppl more worthy to trust- #they're just as diverse and as good and as shitty as any other demographic of people. #you're gonna find shitty people everywhere. obviously you're more likely to find predators on the right but that doesnt mean theres not #plenty on the left too. #at a certain point calling yourself 'on the left' doesnt mean much aside from idk. thinking ppl need basic human rights? #and even then its apparent that some leftists dont think that. so who can say. maybe you wont misgender me? but nah- you will #if i disagree w you or if we get in a fight- i've seen plenty of leftists do this. #i just think the term is useless now. #i think the left is about to fracture into different groups at this point #anyways be weary traveler of ever putting all of ye trust into any group of people. #its possible to like ppl and enjoy being around them and still not fully trust them. and if something tells you to gtfo? you should #also putting all your trust in a group of ppl is a one way ticket into possibly joining a cult on accident #or at the very least a culty friendgroup

[mydearestblue]

so I had been thinking about the many similarities between the Chiss and the Time Lords, and between Thrawn and the Doctor as well, and now I need a Doctor Who AU where Thrawn takes Eli as his companion to show him the wonders of the universe

#i mean both species have in their moral code to not interfere in other people/species conflict #and both are pretty much elitarist and have a very unique technology to travel through space (and time) #but if we want to talk about thrawn and the doctor #well: both found a human to take as their protégé #both are very fond of art and love to study their enemy before formulating their attack move #both have a kind of intelligence that many others don’t understand and are able to make connections few could have predicted #both try to prevent useless deaths- ofc the doctor more than thrawn but still #and yes the doctor would never be an imperial or do the bid of a tyrant but he has bloods on his hands too #some regeneration more than others #so yeah all this to say I need time lord thrawn to find tech analyst eli and show him present past and future #just to see the wonder in his eyes #doctor who #star wars #thrawn #thranto #and as a post just reminded me #both thrawn and the doctor are outcast #who basically left their people to be among humans and different aliens

think i finally figured out why i don't like playing ts4 for more than 5 minutes: the worlds!!! they're a little too ugly & boring i don't like any of them!!

#groundbreaking discovery i know #i tried really really hard to play seriously but its not happening #gameplay itself i'm not mad at!!!!!i dont even need any mods!!!! #but #the overall worlds are too small & empty #i dont need open world a la ts3 but its all just so.....tight #my sim literally stays at home most of the time bc travelling is so useless #also the 20x15 lots are not tiny enough i need something smaller for my little cement block house #also apartments :( i want a prettier one :( #thx for coming to my ted talk

#A lot of the youths in singapore at least probably sleep late because of how much work teachers like to assign #especially on home-based learning days #I'm pretty sure teachers just hear that we're going to do the studying by ourselves at home and then assume they can assign more work #I woke up at 7 to do most of my HBL work #That's 3 Economics questions two of them worth 6 and 8 marks and one Accountings question of filling out a General Journal #as well as 2 self-study packages #Then read analyze and annotate for Literature on a half-broken website that would randomly highlight entire pages instead of what you chose #and the pages rotate wrongly #Once I was done I had to travel for CCA for an hour work for an hour and commute back home #By the time I got home it was 6 #It was Maths after and then more Literature because we were assigned to comment on other students' annotations after the were done #It's nearly 10 and I still have a Literature essay to do a full PBQ with introduction three paragraphs and a conclusion #The only way I can get a healthy amount sleep of 7 hours is if I sleep now since I need to wake up by at most 5 #But yeah sure MOE.
