I just beat final fantasy 9 and wow. That was… charming. And weird…
I freaking love the characters or at least find them endearing. I like that the animation looks a bit odd and uncanny but has a nostalgic charm to it. The character designs are also strange and not the coolest conventionally but damn do their personalities and growth charm me. Despite the repetitive nature of turn based combat and my preference of oh idk, being indifferent to said repetitiveness, I enjoyed every single fight on the sole factor that everything about the visuals, music and sound design charmed me; Did I bother stressing this game is charming.
So much of the game is weird like not sure how to react to certain characters saying or acting certain ways but that’s how life be honestly. It’s also what I found endearing though, stuff was just happening and I was all in for it. This is like one of the fewest video games that awes me by how out of worldly its design philosophy is while still being a pretty final fantasy game.

Nobody's here so I wanna vent about it
In 2012, one of the first shows I fixated on after my "internet era" started was Mr Meaty, the Brazilian dub is disgustingly good, to this I have no idea why they cared so much but they did.
Well, by 2015 the show was obviously not airing on Nick anymore (it was a miracle it's reruns happened until 2013, hell, SAM & CAT promos were playing inbetween Mr. Meaty commercials, can you imagine? Anyway)
By 2015 I had no way to watch the show in Portuguese and I regret not recording the screen at the time (I don't think I even had the means to) so by the time I briefly fixated on Robot and Monster I was determined, I myself, with my monetary limitations, recorded the screen and sound of EVERY SINGLE EPISODE in Brazilian Portuguese
And TO THIS DAY, 2024, those shitty recordings are the ONLY way to watch this show in my language, I looked it up, neither show has hit a Viacom streaming service in my country even now
Fuck you streaming era, you useless piece of shit

I think a lot of people spent their childhoods being very deliberately forced out of their comfort zones by parents / teachers / whomever in a way that was just deeply unpleasant and degrading and so, when they reach young adulthood and are finally allowed real control over their lives, become set on only doing things they know they're comfortable with forever. that's a really important thing to be able to do, especially if you're so used to having your boundaries routinely ignored that you aren't even certain what you like vs what you can bear, so I absolutely see why a person would have a negative reaction to being told that discomfort is good: it can very easily sound like being told that all that work they've been doing to prioritze their needs for the first time ever is Bad and Selfish, actually. and to that I will say two things:
one: as long as you aren't hurting or, like, being a dick to anyone, just staying in your comfort zone isn't an immoral action. if you just want to read one type of book (or just fanfiction), or just eat one type of food, or just watch one type of movie, or not go to new types of social events, you aren't being a bad person for that, and if people say that, they are soundly wrong and just trying to get a self-righteousness kick.
two: trying new things because you want to expand yourself feels a hell of a lot different than trying new things because you're being forced to. you'll feel better about trying new foods if you know you have a back up familiar one in case you can't stomach the new one, it's easier to read new books if you can experiment with audio versions or reading it in little five-page chunks by yourself, you can breathe a lot easier going somewhere new if you aren't chained there for three hours because your parent is your ride home, etc.
tl;dr: new things are good. I get why you might not want to try new things, and that's fine, but it's also more comfortable to try new things as an adult with your own agency so, yeah, what have you got to lose by trying a weird old art film?
