Disco Elysium had to look like something you'd want to pick up even before you had enough time to process what this elusive something was. We could not afford to hold back on cheap parlor tricks and flashy displays of technique.
hoooo yeah no im super focused on my grindset right now yea ha ha yeah no bro its all about the grindset everyday non stop during snack time after i eated my apple slices im doing laps around the play area dont stopping for no bitches
Now, Everyone can agree that the Fullmetal Alchemist Manga is a banger (I assume both animes are too, but I haven't watched 'em so no comment).
What a bunch of people don't know is that the artist/writer Hiromu Arakawa has written 2 other original works (one is complete the other is ongoing.
Silver Spoon: About a kid from Tokyo who, to get away from the demands of his parents/the stress of academia, attends a Farming School in the middle of nowhere where he is p.much the only one without a farming background.
Hilarity, character development, etc. ensues.
Daemons of the Shadow Realm: A dude is raised in a mountain village, farming, hunting. etc. Until one day a fucking helicopter comes out of nowhere, his village is 50% slaughtered, turns out that the village existed for the sole purpose of breeding him and his sister, and it is not the 1400s anymore. Oh and Demons are a thing.
Violence, humour, character development, etc. ensue.
(This one is ongoing)
Now they are both 10/10, and I highly reccomend reading them both
But that is not the point of this post.
She has drawn hundreds, if not thousands of faces at this point, so it is no surprise that you will see some repeats between the mangas.
BUT DO YOU KNOW HOW JARRING IT IS TO SEE EITHER INCARNATION OF GREED, HIS CREW, OR ROY FUCKING MUSTANG HANGING OUT IN A SCHOOL TALKING ABOUT COW BREEDS?
REALLY FUCKING JARRING!
(somewhat less jarring to see them in tactical gear murdering people, or speaking with demons, cause that feels slightly in character)
Anyway, that aside, if you liked her worldbuilding, realism, in depth characters, approach to romance, etc.
I do really reccomend them both.
(She also did another one entitled 'The Heroic Legend of Arslan' but as I haven't read it yet and it is a collaboration, I didn't mention it above)
In [the Frittte (sic) kiosk], we were experimenting with Kim-parking. Namely, for the longest time, we had trouble with Kim’s character model getting stuck in certain places on the navmesh in the game engine. One of the "hotfixes" we tried was giving Kim a parking spot in some of the smaller areas. When the player enters the map, Kim would step away from Harry and go to his spot and return to his side when Harry leaves. Kim-parking did not become a thing, though, because that navmesh issue was (almost) solved soon after.
I need to know Lena please, who wins in an egg and spoon race?
I think it's a cluster tie between Blade, Lavinet, and Chase, depending on the circumstances! Physically, Blade is the most capable of winning, but to the point where he would be absolutely puzzled by this concept because it doesn't present a challenge at all. You just... walk while balancing a spoon on an egg? Like that's hard? Even blindfolded, he would be so baffled by the concept that I think it would actually trip him up a bit, like surely there's something else to be done here... So while he's ??? (or maybe not even participating because he doesn't see the point), Lavinet and Chase come in for the steal. Lavinet because her etiquette and posture training (walking smoothly and elegantly, even while balancing books on her head) prepared her for this, and Chase because he's naturally extremely agile and adept. However, I think Chase would be easily distracted or would have more fun trying to get other people to drop their eggs or messing with them, so Lavinet might ultimately be the one to come out on top!
After that, it goes:
Blade - Chase - Lavinet
Halek - Tallys (both equally physically capable, but both also quite non-urgent in pace)
Red
Trouble
Caine
Riel - Shery (naturally the slowest but both have a good sense of balance that they wouldn't drop the egg while moving at an average pace) - Ayla (extremely fast but likely to drop her egg a few times and then start getting tripped up out of rage from being forced to start over from the beginning) - Briony (extremely likely she would either drop or crush her egg out of excitement several times)
