Nine people I'd like to get to know better

Because sure I might as well do one of these too. @angelosearch tagged me for this and I'm honoured

Last song: The Time Flyer remix for the Final Horizon DLC because oh my god this pushes every button in my brain in alllll the right ways. I've been the number 1 Tomoya Ohtani fan for years now but I'm starting to like Kanon Oguri more and more with every song I hear from him. Hope he sticks around

Favourite color: It's been purple for years but recently I do find myself going for pink a little more often (god it's so over for me) but that's also because pink+black is the BEST combo

Last movie/TV show: Recently rewatched the first Eva Rebuild movie for the first time in years and yeah it is just the first few episodes of the anime with a higher budget but guess what? The first episodes of Eva fucking rule! It's before the show got bad (that's a joke)(kinda)! I've also been watching the recent anime adaptation of Pluto and while I have some issues with it so far, I'm sure Naoki Urasawa will deliver with another ending that'll stay with me for a lifetime

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Spicy because I'm a masochist and I got shit to prove!!

Relationship status: Yeah wouldn’t you like to know...I'll say "single" to keep things simple

Last thing you googled: This image because me and @cecelovesrats have determined that it's actually about Sisyphus

Current obsession: TAKE A GUESS NOW AND FOREVER

Alright I'll tag some people but oh my god please don't feel obligated to make one of these if you don't want to

(I'll also limit the tags to people I've actually interacted with before because there are some other KH fan accounts on here I really like but I don't want to tag someone who might have never even noticed me lol)

@cecelovesrats @purple-beans (we're already friends but hey I'm curious)

@fangirling-heart @otakunerd03 @donitkitt @naarwhall @gayruledge @feralcringeman @oliviawonderfulcat19 (we've never really talked but yall seem chill)

Fellow Bioware fans, specifically for Dragon Age Inquisition- Hear me out on this idea ive had

So what if Bioware did a DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition, similar to Mass Effect's Citadel DLC

(And for those who don't know the Citadel DLC, its an...expansion pack? Or something similar that allows the crew of ME3-Mass Effect 3- to have a shore party on the Citadel. It has mini games to play of all kinds, small scenes with our favorite characters, love interest or not, and even a bit of a quest line to follow that is very hilarious and even more exciting, plus a bit more dialogue added to the game I believe)

Anyhow-What if, despite the circumstances, the inner circle of the Inquisition got something similar. Maybe not a whole vacation in itself but still something, y'know? I know Tresspasser may have did something similar but this is just me imaging fun and more comical with the potential chaos of the Inquisition crew.

Imagine this- romance scenes with the love interests like-

Seeing a more playful side of Cullen as we volunteer to help with dog training. Perhaps finally seeing him without a suit and in some casual clothes for once. I can just imagine a scene of him getting tackled by dogs as our inquisitor is laughing their ass off on the side.

Seeing Cassandra get pulled into relaxing for a bit by reading a story together, maybe her indulging in some fun by voicing the dialogues as our inquisitor is the one to act them out more.

Seeing Solas take us through a bit of an art gallery and pointing out his favorite pieces as he explains the meanings behind it. Then deciding at the end of it that he would like to make a peice with us or paint something in our quarters by our asking.

Seeing our favorite mage, Dorian go out on an actual date with his boyfriend and easing his nerves about being public about it. Him waving them off and saying thats hes fine, but obviously melting once he realizes that no one cares that its two men. And not just that- but him being sassy and playful, flirting with his Amatus as they dine together freely.

Piggybacking off the previous one, if your inquisitor is female and bestfriends with him instead, then the two having a nice day out together. Maybe if he isnt romanced to Bull in that playthrough, then helping him get a small date with someone. Maybe he fails a bit, but is able to laugh about it cause it was less terrifying than he thought compared to home. (You can plainly tell how much I adore this man)

Going to see a Jousting match with The Iron Bull. Maybe not as exciting as Dragons but perhaps Bull can read into the body language and tell whos going to loose, and instead of just telling us, he makes it a game that WE have to guess instead. Romanced version- if we win, hes laughing a bit, saying "Thats my Kadan!" (Jfjsjffs)

Blackwall probably can't do a whole lot, considering after his real identity problem, so maybe he makes pulls together a nice dinner instead. (Mostly for romance version) And somewhat saying towards the end, "You may be the Inquisitor, but you're still a lady, and you should be treated as such."

Look, I havent romanced Black wall that often, but boy- from the scene on youtube, the man can sure show his gentleman side.

And the fact that you can romance him as any race? OOO- Just imagine how much more tender that'll feel for a qunari or eleven inquisitor, LIKE-DKDJSOWNAK MAN WANTS HIS LADY TO BE TREATED LIKE THEY DESERVE

Anyhow, im gettin' off subject-

Helping Cole on a task he asked from us. It could be something so simple as flower picking cause he felt a little girl nearby feeling real upset about something and wanted to help.

I know alot of people have different views of Cole, just like any character, and people see him as either the son or little brother depending on how you go about it. So maybe this can go either way. Especially if your character is elven, they can give him tips on which flowers may be more appropriate or safer to leave for the little one.

(Ignore this if you want- My main Inquisitor is an elven chick named Bellatrix and ive always imagine her having a small soft side for Cole, treating him like a little brother in some areas cause he reminds her of her siblings. )

There are so many ways to go about this whole idea, honestly. And while I don't have many ideas for Sera, Josephine, Leliana, Varric, and Vivienne, I would have loved to see scenes with them in playful moments like these. Like Vivienne shopping with the Inquisitor or Sera going on that promise to make cookies with them and it turns into a whole mess but both end up laughing on the floor, flour caked on.

Out of all the Dragon Age games, Inquisition has to be my l, above all, favorite because of the outright love the characters bring to your character. Whether they are a steel on the outside, light hearted qunari, a playful and chaos making elf, or a soft but proud decision making dwarf with a bit of clumsyness. You cant really say that it doesnt matter what or how your character is, but its true how much it does matter cause it brings just another side of possibilities with such a character.

I apologize for my ranting but if you've taken the time to read this, please share your ideas with me cause even though hasn't made something like this for Dragon age, fans surely bring that idea to light in any way they can💜

Hello? Hello Hello?

...Well, this place has been dead for a little bit, hasn't it?

Mentioned a little bit before on that collab piece I did, but figured I'd be better to do a full post bout it here!

So, this AU...has been laying dormant for quite some time, and there's not really any excuses for that. I've just been a little busy with school and life in general, but mainly...haven't had much motivation to do it in all honesty, and their's two main factors to that unmotivation.

1. I kinda realized I'd be needing to write a lot for this story, and though I love writing in general...the scope of this would be like writing a few novels if I continued on, and I just wouldn't have the time or sanity to do that, but more on that later for a solution...

And 2. ...I kinda fell out of FNaF for a moment. Well- Not entirely, I'll always love this series, but I guess it was mainly...the state of the fandom after one certain game...Security Breach. After that game came out, it kinda broke the fandom in half. One half being those who hate the game and left the franchise entirely, now seeing it as nothing but for kids and not taken seriously, and the other...well, actually kids. Y'know the ones. You know.

So that kinda left me kinda unsure for my AU, since I thought if I put stuff out now...it wouldn't really be that appreciated. From the start it was meant to harken back to the original classics of FNaF, but with the fandom mostly filled with newcomers for just this one game, and the original fans gone and unhopeful for the franchise, I just kinda...left this place dorment till I felt motivated again.

...And then the Ruin DLC happened, which gave me a spark of motivation. Seemed this franchise was starting to to head to a better place, getting some old fans back, so that's nice. Got me thinking more bout this AU again...

And then the movie happened, and now i've been slapped in the face with motivation.

SO- Guess that's my excuse for why things have been so empty, but now...I AM READY TO OFFICIALLY SAY IT IS STARTING BACK UP! And not just that...but starting fresh! ...Which, isn't saying much, since I only wrote two chapters for it...y e a h - But there's a reason I'm starting fresh, not just for improved art or retconing some of the mistakes of what I did give out, but mainly because...

I'm turning the AU into a comic!!

That's right! Gonna be drawing the whole thing start to finish! Figured this would be better to me since it's quicker then writing it all, and get to show and improve more of my art, so works out! (You can already kinda see some of that with the new pfp and header) Maybe might get some help in the future, maybe might dable in some animation, maybe a lot of things, but guess we'll just hafta see where it goes from here!

What does that mean for the previous content though? All...f o u r of it? Well, that stuff is gonna be non-canon from here on out! It'll be easier this way since those stuff have either some continuity errors that'll effect the story in the long wrong, or just simply I've changed my mind on some things and it'll be a bit more different! I'm still leaving them up, however! Just cause I think it'll be fun to see how far I've come, and ey some art pieces there weren't bad! ...Too bad...okay like one or two were d e c e n t

TLDR of it tho is this: AU's getting a reboot, gonna be made into a comic now, previous stuff is non-canon, and this page should be a bit more active now!

But yeah! Big things are coming, and I am excited to start up this AU again! I have so many plans for this story that I'm just hoping you guys will love, wanna do justice to both sides of the story! So keep an eye on this blog, might take a little longer, but hoping to get things officially and finally started soon!

And to prove some of that, before I go...you guys deserve a a bit of a sneak peak of what's to come, so...hope you enjoy these redesigns >:]

EDIT: THE SERIES HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN- READ EM HERE- AH-

[hamofjustice]

very slight teal mask and indigo disc story spoilers (the kind that'll probably help decide if you want them or not instead of ruin it for you, probably?) and very long commentary about it. mostly about how they've chosen to advertise it

gonna hit you with my longest run-on sentence yet, here we go.

the fact that we had to datamine the teal mask, a DLC whose only returning character is jacq and does not add a line to or scene of anyone else (well, mentions of heath and clavell, i guess?) due to being available to do at any badge count, the fact that we had to dig and pry in unintended ways, just to finally prove that our implied greatest treasures nemona arven and penny would at least be available to hang out with in the indigo disc...

with no new images footage or mentions of the friend trio of in any of the six months since the DLCs were announced, and ten months after these kids opened their hearts and dorm rooms to us, saying we could hang out any time from now on, and turned out to be statues with one line of dialogue after we had already gone on an adventure with them following us around, helping us in battle, and getting to know each other as we walked, and our rival promised to keep up with our strength forever, then never got any stronger...

and now, in the narrative's timeline, we run off to another country to transfer away from our rival for life's school to one she would fit into perfectly the MOMENT she opens up to us about her problems and how she's so much happier now that we're the first person she can actually connect with and be herself around, and shows clear signs of worry that you're going to leave if she doesn't make you promise not to...

and also shortly after Arven became effectively a high school orphan, who's still treated as kind of a butt monkey dumbass for some reason, when he was putting everything he had into researching how to save his dog, his only dependable family, instead of going to class (i guess he's not telling anybody what he's going through, as usual with these kids)...

because TPC did not think these characters being present in the second DLC in any form and not actually having their newfound, hard-earned sense of belonging ruined by the basic premise of said transfer-student DLC was worth advertising at any point, and only showed off gym leaders Katy and Kofu... and that was only if you even bothered to look at the website to notice the feature at all, because hanging out with, battling, and trading with all of the past characters who aren't present in Paldea anymore is now actually a feature, but wasn't in the trailer...

is fucking mind boggling to me.

why is it a secret that they're in the DLC. why would they not just. tell people that as soon as they revealed the DLC. why is it still supposed to be a secret now, half a year later. why weren't they in the first half. why did they not think we'd be worried that they aren't in the second half.

silly me, why would you want to advertise giving people more of the story and main plot-driving characters, the main thing people defend the rushed game for, or that they might get some resolution, or reassure them that the vaguely happy ending to their sad stories isn't going to be ruined like they've implied it will be? that'd be silly. the only way anyone is going to find that out is through hacking

but at least we were finally able to pry that basic fucking information out of them against their will, the only thing I wanted to know about the DLC before I'd buy it, because they left in placeholder stubs for it by accident. oops. wouldn't want to tell people who were on the fence about getting the DLC this information on purpose or anything. need to keep it a secret

we were able to confirm through our own digging that nemona (and many others) are at least allowed to hang out with us, but the thing that would make both her as a character and me as a Pokemon player happier than we've ever been is if she actually got to enroll with us. why wouldn't she go, right? what do a school and society that don't respect her and an empty home where her parents should be have to offer, compared to living her dream with her favorite person, surrounded by people just like her? who can stop a champion from going wherever she wants? but for that to be the case, one of the "club rooms" we found references to would have to be hers. only us kieran and carmine clearly have what are marked as dorm room objects.

i'm glad we're getting what we're getting, but it's still no guarantee that nemona arven and penny will continue to be important to the story that they were the driving forces of, or get the true resolutions and healthier happy endings that they deserve, or that our "true equal" will ever be any stronger or more important to our character than our home ec teacher, or that they'll ever actually get to be a friend group on screen without life or death situations or harrowing grief being involved

oops! accidentally wrote decent character arcs and relationships in a pokemon game! they're going to spend time together in the postgame! abort abort abort quick shove them off into different countries before they hug

okay that's just me being cynical, they will almost certainly be important to the story, but... TPC has the power to make me not cynical and they keep choosing not to do that. but they do keep making really sappy recap videos using previous cutscene footage, like this attachment and uncertainty is something they're milking on purpose

maybe stringing people along with how much they miss the funny, cute, loving, strong characters, or are worried about these three lonely and isolated kids dealing with parental neglect, ptsd and self loathing, autism and motor impairments, identity issues, and more, whose problems are clearly not resolved yet if they can be at all, will... help sell more plushies and gacha pulls, and get people consuming more spinoffs, or something? idk, maybe

love to stop and helplessly gaze upon penny's depression pile every day before i go do tera raids / link battles with strangers (i don't actually do this but i might if poke portal worked indoors)

that all being said! it's pretty damn cool that hanging out with NPCs in a meaningful way and staging selfies with them and stuff is actually a game feature at all. that much is reassuring. it's a step in the right direction considering 90% of pokemon gameplay for a lot of people takes place after the credits roll and everyone normally despawns or becomes a one liner / repeating boss fight statue, or maybe if you're lucky a Multi Battle partner. it was just implied this game would be different, is all. i just don't know why they've chosen to string their audience along this way. wanting to have friends shouldn't throw up a $35 tollgate right as you go to talk to them that takes a year to open, and over six months to find out if it'll kill them when it opens.

i'd like to see pokemon postgame feel more like an animal crossing life sim type game in the future, personally, and this feature is a step toward that. i'd love if it one of your rewards for completing indigo disc was being able to take anyone you like as a follower as you go about your business and have them get on miraidon/koraidon with you as needed so your movement isn't impeded by it, even if there was no dialogue for it or anything. it's 2023, i shouldn't have to imagine something happening in a video game, or have to fill in my own fanfic to make a story satisfying, it should just be happening, on the screen. dammit. having a follower that goes with you everywhere even if you drive or have a following pokemon already was a feature in teal mask, so why not utilize it permanently?

(is the obvious player arven nemona penny 4v1 battle being saved for the final boss or something, is that why tera raids with them aren't a thing you can just do normally?)

Long story short: The basic transfer-student premise of The Indigo Disc implies that we ruin Nemona's happy ending and rub the one she really wants in her face to go enjoy it with Carmine instead for being more marketable, and I don't think they're even aware of why that would be a problem. Why have we not been reassured to the contrary in the last 6 months? I think a lot of us are waiting for this DLC anxiously instead of eagerly, especially after the first half.

[theworldvsyoshiko]

Although that does remind me, I've been meaning to post about it for a while now, and I've got some free time and energy tonight, so...

I think it's not going to be surprising to anyone if I say that The Dancing Flock is effectively over at this point. The big issue, which I kinda mentioned: some of the mods updated, and they busted some stuff in the process. I actually played several sessions past my last update, but they were all in a separate save file while I messed around with mods trying to get it stable again. I never quite managed that.

But, even before that point, I'd been thinking about cutting it short, for several reasons:

By that point I'd been playing Rimworld daily and documenting it for 3 months, and I'd kinda gotten my fill of the game for the time being.

Like I said before, the win condition was... problematic. Even after gifting the colony's huge hoard of silver and befriending a pile of factions overnight, I was only a bit past halfway through my goal of world peace by allying with everyone.

And related, once the colony was stable, the moment-to-moment gameplay was... kinda dull. I couldn't do much to work toward peace; I basically had to wait for people to attack and then capture them. Building the giant lavish compound was a good long-term project, since it required a ton of resources. Once it was built, though, there was only so much I could upgrade that felt actually meaningful. Like, sure, I could've bartered for weeks to get enough gold to put a golden statue in every bedroom, but it wouldn't have changed anything or been particularly satisfying. The Hospitality stuff lent some variety now and then, but most Hospitality guests just kinda wandered in, claimed a bedroom, and then spent a few days hanging around and smoking joints.

And yet, at the same time that they were too comfortable and well-established, the colony was also uselessly inept at fighting. Remember the bear incident? I never actually finished that, because my well-established, fortified, late-game colony couldn't actually handle 7-8 angry bears. Nonlethal weapons just do not scale to late game well, especially if you're committed to the 'nonlethal' part and thus also not building traps or anything. I had the enemy spawn rates turned way down by the end, and it was still iffy at times. This also undermined the group's commitment to taking in everybody who came by looking for help, because every single fight was a gigantic slog toward the end.

Related to #3, once the colony was well-established, there wasn't much to talk about compared to Yoshiko and Umeko. The pacifist bent also rules out a lot of sidequests that involve going out into the world, because a lot of them give pacifists huge mood penalties even if you don't kill anyone. I was avoiding fights on top of that because of the tedious nature of nonlethal combat. Josefin bravely helped with this issue by being a pathetic little lizard creature, but she can only do so much. I had a couple of sessions where I'd play for two hours and come away with nothing much to report, because everyone had spent that time mass-producing hats and sculptures in between hanging out in the hot tub. Which seems like a great way to spend time, but isn't necessarily eventful.

So, I guess they're gonna settle into a long and peaceful life of giving each other blowjobs on the floor of their personal dance club, but offscreen.

Once the Anomaly DLC has been out for long enough to have really robust mod support, I'll probably grab it and start messing around with it, so there are good odds that'll lead to something new.

#the dancing flock loves you unconditionally

[sapphire-weapon]

going through separate ways again just to see if i can pull anything else out of it meta-wise. so far all i've come up with is "yes there's definitely going to be more DLC, it's not even a question holy shit the breadcrumbs they left" but also

i am completely stunned and gobsmacked that Ada doesn't have anything to say when she hears Ashley crying in the church.

like i'm not expecting her to be heartbroken over it or whatever, but the fact that she doesn't say ANYTHING -- not even a "that must be her" or an "i wonder what they plan to do with her? i guess that'll be for Leon to figure out." -- is so BIZARRE to me.

or even take this line of dialogue:

and put it on the roof of the church instead.

idk man it's just fuckin weird.

a generous interpretation of it is that the dev team did it on purpose to establish that yes, this version of Ada is cold. she's not your OG Ada anymore.

but it comes off so strangely i kind of wonder if they just forgot to put something there LMAO

[amouress16]

RUIN Thoughts!

Under the cut for your convenience to avoid spoilers!

I have seen pretty much everything that is out/widely known about as of day one so I'm just gonna ramble about everything. Starting with positives and then getting into the things I didn't like towards the end. Cause hoo boy are my feeling very mixed about this whole thing let me tell you.

I like Cassie! We have proper context and motivation for her right off the bat. Immediate story improvements there!

The gameplay of the whole DLC looks way better. Personally I've never liked games that box you in to one path too much in a way it's too obvious, but the DLC makes it realistic and gives paths that loop back around to places you've been. The map still doesn't make sense but that's just the SB experience at this point I guess.

Eclipse. ECLIPSE. ECLIPSE CANON OH MY GOD. He's sweet and gentle and acts just like how a caretaker should! Sun pleading for help and Moon expressing their pain being forced to work as entirely separate programs, both of them fighting each other's triggers.... Aauughhhh I love them. The fact that all they needed for so long was a simple reboot and there were just no human workers around to do it.... 😭

AND ROXANNE. Seeing the side of the characters actually being child entertainers is so nice! Even if it was done just to make the moment bittersweet. "Do you still like carrot cake? I like carrot cake." They're all supposed to be kind. They're supposed to be good and wholesome and they've all been twisted into monsters that aren't their true selves.

High tech AR Vanny mask.... but no Vanny... 🤔 sure game, whatever you say

On the other hand, no map bot, but mask bot? Clever sleight of hand Steel Wool, I see you

Bonnie design reveal!!!! Further implications that Monty murdered him!!! I...! I'm not sure I like it. It's difficult because he has no consistency in his appearance. The Bonnie Bowl mascot is purple like OG Bon but the design we see in the gator ride telling Monty's backstory is blue. What are those shoulder pads and how would that work on an animatronic, like at all?? He has no room to move his head! Don't get me started on the inconsistent coloring between his gloves and his outfit. Idc if I sound pretentious for this, the clothing choices hurt me as an artist tbh. If you're gonna make him blue let him wear hot pink or or even yellow. Idk idk it just didn't mesh to me. Oh and his neon sign had the star glasses but his cut outs didn't. Inconsistency is Steel Wool's middle name.

What is with the glitchy shadow rabbit? Why is it shaped like a map marker? Is that supposed to be Glitchtrap? A security system...? I don't understand the point of this storywise at all but sure gameplay go brrr I guess

What the fuck is the Mimic. No seriously. I don't know what it is. Why is it here. What is happening. I am well versed in the canon of these games what is- .......... So it's another Book Thing. Haha. No. Bad. Stop that. Whoever signed off on the "let's add book lore to the games with no explanation or fathomable reason" decision, I am spraying you with a water bottle. Stop alienating those of us who don't have the time/money/desire to buy and read the books. I hate the books personally and have been actively ignoring them since the Plushtrap Chaser one. They are meant to be fun side stories for people who want that, not main game canon!!! Stop it!! I am actually begging you!!

TL;DR I like the characterization given to everyone this time around, it felt right for them. Bonnie's design is inconsistent and kinda mid. And trying to force in booklore most people won't know about is just stupid and I'm mad about it. That's about it.

I definitely wanna draw Cassie with Roxy post game- because I do believe she survived that elevator crash- and maybe make a Bonnie design I'll like better. And I definitely wanna see other people's art. That'll be the best part of all of this.

What do you think is gonna happen in the dlc of cult of the lamb?

Idk but I'm most excited about having the bishops as followers!! Tho considering I beat the whole game already imma guess there's gonna be a special resurrection ritual that'll allow us to revive them--or maybe we'll have to refight them with their updated boss battles and get a special cutscene where we can choose to spare/kill them like narinder

I do love the revamped combat mechanics, too. Looks exciting and it's good to know I wont just be mashing a button to do claw combos or splatter ichor puddles everywhere

"emrylurkeroftheloch: I will personally come to bat for the TCG: Whilst the meta can shift (like it can in Pokémon), and decks can rotate, the TCG does have two major advantages: Price Wise, it is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper to get into than VGC. Like, iirc a meta deck will run you about $30? And the other major advantage is, depending on your area, it can be really easy to find games! Even if your deck rotates out of favour or w/e, you can probs pick up casual games with people.

Seriously tho the price of the Pokémon TCG is obscenely cheap, esp in comparison to other TCGs (which is normally an expensive hobby). A deck for MtG that'll rotate out in 18 months (if not less) might run you $200+ easily. $30 for a deck is absolutely WILD."

So wild it doesn't even seem possible. When I was in college, people in Magic and Yugioh would go around with $500+ decks. I can't imagine you can remain meta at $30 in grand total. Individual cards cost more than that.

I dunno. I guess in my mind, VGC has a higher time related requirement to access, and the up-front cost of the games (and now also the DLC), while TCG has a lower barrier to entry but a most consistent demand for paying into it. Though I also don't know how they handle set rotation all that well.

hello! friendly anon passing by, wondering what games you've been playing lately? I'm looking for some random recommendations, and curious what you're enjoying. have a wonderful day!

Hello!

Recently I've been playing through Hollow Knight again and I also decided to pick up Rain World!

Both are the kinds of games I'd say to go into 100% blind and both can be a challenge to figure out what you have to do and also to not die. However once you get a hang of how Hollow Knight works (hack and slash and platforming) you're pretty much on your way. Rain World is the kind of game that'll slap you onto your ass and not wait to start kicking your ass, but thats part of the fun of it I think!

Hollow Knight is your standard kill enemies, stab bosses, progress story where Rain World is more of a survival game.

Games I've not played recently but I still highly recommend: Night in the Woods (this game sat me down and spoke to me in ways nothing else really has), the Dragon Age series (if you like fantasy thats heavy on character dynamics and lets you kiss cute elves), the Mass Effect series (character heavy, sci-fi story, lets you kiss cute aliens), Morrowind (fantasy rpg that doesn't hold your hand, has that challeging factor I really love in my games) or if you just want something light and cute; Slime Rancher! I've not played the second game but the first is adorable and fun!

Most of these are very old to quite old / well known, but if you've not checked them out I do highly endorse these bunch!

Especially Rain World and it's dlc Downpour. I cannot tell you how many times I've died but I'm enjoying myself still!

Oh and before I forget! Also play Shadow of the Colossus. Another game I recommend going in blind to. It's... platforming I guess? With big monsters.

"You're not angry about femc's exclusion because you're not a woman and don't understand!"

I am a woman. I wish she was included but I'm not exactly angry about it either. (I feel as though it's inevitable she'll get DLC).

Whichever protagonist you relate to has nothing to do with gender imo. I think it's about whose personality you relate to most. Are you the "quiet and keep my emotions to myself with a blunt and blase attitude" or are you the "appears happy go lucky all the time while secretly dying inside" kind of person. I happen to relate more to the former even though I think both of them represent me at different points of my life. I vastly prefer Makoto over Kotone, but I don't dislike her either.

I would love to see a retelling of FemC's story so that we actually get that latter perspective fleshed out more in the game itself (because be honest with yourself, that was barely present in P3P itself). I was really rooting for a definitive version of P3 but clearly that might not be the case on release date.

As it stands right now, I'm happy the game is being remade at all and of course they're going to remake it first with the original protagonist. Here's hoping for a Kotone DLC. And if the answer isn't already included in RELOAD, then I guess that'll end up being DLC too.

So I'm a bit late starting dlc because of life, and the fact that I somehow spent 6 ish hours just downloading updates. Update for Violet, update for Home, update for Switch, Update for Violet AND Home. Like bro are you fr

As such I've only gotten an hour of play time so far, and unfortunately I've got stuff to do tomorrow so I can't play until the plumber's ass crack of dawn.

But I can still kinda sorta do first impressions?

1. Game still has very, very noticeable slow downs and pop ins. I guess that's just never getting fixed at this point. Major disappointment

2. That being said, graphics look a tad better

3. New characters are pretty enjoyable so far. Carmine is kind of a mean bitch- I like it. Briar, I'm gonna say, is definitely some secret villain.

4. New music is pretty fun. Like a mix of Paldea and Hisui- there's also some music you can hear when taking selfies that COULD? Be hinting towards a Johto game. Which is weird af because they tell us right out the gate that BBA is in UNOVA. I'm scarexcited and anxious.

5. I made a decision to only bring Pokémon that are around level 60 or under- a bit if a far cry from my dream team I was planning, but probably for the best since things are definitely pretty low ball right now. Think like IoA where Klara uses a level 60 something Venipede? Or Whirlipede? Can't remember.

So I'm gonna catch a whole new team for the most part I guess.

6. I CALLED IT, KITAKAMI IS IN JAPAN AND NOT THE NORTH EAST. Long plane ride, long bus ride, regular Wooper, it's definitely right under Sinnoh somewhere.

7. I just barely scraped the surface, but I'm not a fan of the rail roading. I was really hoping for a tad more freedom going in, but I guess that'll remedy itself when I can finally play for realsies.

I'm definitely looking forward to it. I've seen some stuff and I wanna get to the new stuff already.

As for my current team:

H Typhlosion: Shogun, lv 60. I actually caught and transferred him from my first playthrough of Legends Arceus after I beat the game. The rest of my team is too over powered, and some others are under powered. He fit the bill perfectly and I guess he's my unofficial starter for Kitakami

Furret: Scout, lv 51: Scout is actually a transfer from my 3ds Silver game, so technically she has slight seniority going back to 2017? Ish? But I've been missing my furry friend

Yanma: Racer, lv 54? I think? my first catch in Kitakami. He actually won a couple of battles already. Can't wait to get a Yanmega

H Samurott: Muramasa, lv 91... temporarily. I wanted to bring him as my main starter, but he's a bit too strong, so he's here for the ride until I can catch a blue pokemon and/or water type pokemon (I have this... thing where I'm uncomfortable without either on my team).

On the lookout for Poliwag next. The rest I'm not sure. Gonna try to use new Pokémon I haven't used from here on out

Change of plans ...

To make a long story very, very short...

Triangle Strategy New Game + is way harder than I anticipated.

My summer work hours and commute are longer than I planned.

So I probably won't be getting to the other paths in this game any time soon.

I don't even see a proper walkthrough that'll help me get past the hurdle that is NG+ chapter 1 (yes, I swallowed my pride and tried to look it up.)

So. I guess it's back to Bravely Default II (which was on the back burner), my second run of Octopath Traveler, and Animal Crossing New Horizons.

Maybe I'll finally get the Happy Home Paradise DLC after I get a couple more seasonal DIY recipes from balloon farming?

I'll wait and see.

For now I have to get going though.

Duty calls.

Okay something that was stuck on my drafts was just rambling thoughts from when I first finished aini so I'm gonna summarize what I had going on there

Biggest first impression was, surprisingly, just how weird Kizuna was about Mizuki- okay now we get why and I did guess it halfway too that she literally was just like Kizuna's big sis and such but still... Makes sense I got hung up on that, I related to her in a very specific way and this whole situation was so weird to me who does have friends with about the same age difference that I look up to, but the way it develops here it just enables Mizuki to feed into the mindset that she's just not allowed to be a kid anymore because of all the stuff she's gone through but that sucks she's still freaking twelve and all these adults around her don't treat her like it and it's not supposed to be something you question at all like :/

I like the collectables! Silly clothes! I'm glad the dlc ones weren't the only customization, fun unlockable dress-up things are nice and a plus on the experience- the whole gameplay in fact I had a blast with and had no significant complaints to make

The theme of someone needing to be reunited with their "other half" to be "whole" was just never going to be a theme that appeals to me. Everyone being incomplete until meeting someone else is simply not the kind of idea I subscribe to and especially not like romantically, the couples and relationships I have more words on despite being bad at talking through these concepts but one or another it's just not to my tastes so again- was never gonna resonate with a game with that core message all that much is all

Uchikoshi is allergic to sequels, can't embrace a whole new cast nor stick to the original and just follow up on where the last game left off, nope, always a far less satisfying compromise between he two- I wish aini had absolute minimal participation from the old cast, no Mizuki fake out just a flat out new character honestly I would have loved Bibi so much if her story didn't muddle Mizuki's pre established one, stick to an anthology format of new cases or at least keep the dynamics and personalities consistent with the conclusion of the first game I wish Date wasn't annoying I wish he was just Falco chilling out in the background of a random scene where you can interact with him only if you want with no bearing on the case at all hell if you're gonna commit to them still interacting with the story as coworkers have him actually die! Or at least give him and Mizuki an actual reunion!

Entirely up to personal taste again with this one but I miss the slight tinge of horror, the gross gouging out eyes kind of violence because the action flick kind of violence? Bores me to tears. Ryuki got shot and I knew he'd be back- they did a whole all is lost moment actually I think they did that twice with Mizuki nearly losing the battle and getting all beat up and I looked at it and I knew they wanted me to have A Feeling™ over it but it went by so fast, I knew the next beat was her getting back up, none of the lead up to it connected with me enough to make up for the predictable nature of this scene structure, there was very little weight to it and I miss that grim ass feeling that the first game sometimes captured with Saito and the way he operated especially in the paths where he's still in Iris' body by the end and still poses a threat to the cast (this point in my drafts also ended with "man I'm feeling unfulfilled by this piece media I think I'll go finally read Higurashi hopefully that'll make me feel better" and lmao I still haven't and still really want to)

#aini spoilers #it's so late I know I have some asks stuck on my drafts about this too #hm idk ehat to tag this for myself to find later
