#Aside from like an interesting design choise

[loquemevengaalamente]

I think I have a type, cause one characteristic of some characters I love the most have this double buns or Leia style and it's so funny to me, cause I do like Leia, just not thaaat much, but I adore these other characters with PASSION:

-Brighid from Xenoblade 2

-The adjudicator (though this one is kinda cheating cause is Katie McGrath so she already has like 100000 points)

-Edelgard from Fire Emblem 3 Houses

-Chun Li from Street Fighter

-Dark Lady from Sailor Moon

-Temari from Naruto bonus points for going for 4 buns instead of just 2

From the Dark Pictures anthology, House of Ashes is the best imo. Not only is it more entertaining to watch, it also has a nationalist military dude admit to be high as balls when 9/11 happened, to an Iraqi soldier that just wants to be there for his son's bday but duty calls (Salim is the best character by far).

Aside from a point of view of the American military that is very appreciated in the fact that 2 characters admit their faults and regret their actions while on service, it's a very entertaining game because of the stupid dialogue from some of the characters and also Ashley tisdale is there and she looks very goofy.

The "supernatural" elements are really interesting, I enjoyed the monster design and the level design where you find "the nest" is honestly gorgeous, if not a little underdeveloped in how much you can interact in the environment, but nothing like The Devil in Me, a game with an interesting concept that seems rushed to the point of seemingly being tossed to the side in order to launch The Quarry, very empty and boring with a few interesting parts, could've been shortened significantly. The lore about what the monsters were originally is highly intriguing, and I wish they could've expanded more on it but it's understandable why they couldn't.

A good person to watch if you dont wanna play it by yourself is John Wolfe because he makes Eric behave like an asshole and it's very entertaining, and this post was mainly inspired on the choises he made tbh.

Okay, so JJBA, right?

Specifically, the CANON FACT that a kid of mixed fatherhood (Dio w/ Jonathan's body) can exist. What if, somehow, by some twisted turn of fate, Dio (& technically Jonathan) had a daughter with someone fully aware of the depraved reason for that strange scar he has? The mother moved to America for family reasons & went into labor. Since she was born female & the mother wanted a boy, the mother didn't want her. Instead, she opted to leave the baby at a fire station's doorstep with a name written on a scrap of paper: the options are below.

First name choices:

-Joan

-Joanna

-Joceline

-Jocosa

-Jodie

-Jolan

-Jonina

-Jonevah

-Joolie

-Joquil

-Jordanna

-Josefina

-Jovita

-Jozette

Last name Choises:

>Joeando

>Brandstar

>Joestar-Brando

(TBH I am terrible at colliding names, I just offered the first one because it sounded close to Jane Doe, an unidentified woman's body.)

As for her personality, she could be mixed with several traits of the Joestars we know. Jonathan's manners (to an extent), Joseph's love for his family (obviously, all the Joestars have this trait aside from those Dio made. I mean in the since of being protective af of those she views as family), Josuke's love of his hair & his friends, Jotaro's stern & stoic behavior with his planning, Giorno's wit & persistance, & Jolyne's boldness (minus the moonlight from between prison bars, please). She's likely the same height as Jonathan during the whole fight(s) with Dio with decent muscle. Not feminine muscle or however the men of this ranchise are designed to look like. Think of Josuke's muscle; not too much but not too little, ect. Add Dio's genes into the cocktail that she is & you could have something interesting. As in all of these traits, but put to a Dio-level amount. Don't get me wrong, she's still decent, she just has lapses in her quiet existance & all that, but then someone slaps her trigger full force & then she's 100% Brando in terms of violence & brutality.

All of that being said, she isn't just her genetics. She could also be a roast queen, frigid/shrewd, attractive but intimidating, loves things like roller durby, boxing, snakes/reptiles, bats, spiders, big birds (falcons, hawks, harpy eagles, etc.), dogs, cats, football (american, likely), & sewing. She might be the kind of friend who could be the Uncle Iroh of the group or the one who tells you to your face when something is stupidly dangerous. Likely not one for Toxic Positivity or negative outlooks. Neutral. You don't bother me & I don't bother you mentality with a drizzle of you help me & I help you mentality.

A PROBLEM WITH REVERSE1999

so, half-universery events have ended, and I am surprisingly wasn't happy with them. This is not about the story part tho, I liked story a lot, I love Getian, I really enjoy the way reverse1999 treats their villains, but I'll talk about it in other posts

Lets start with my least favorite decision design-wise - they changed the main screen for the events. Before 1.6 it looked like this

Sadly, I am not educated enough to explain why this is better. It just had everything in one place, it was colorful, it felt collected. And it was easier to navigate and to keep track of different events - I genuinely forgot about Mane's Bulletin. And seeing how this style continues in new version - it is just sad. But this change is not major, and I suppose it has its purpose - maybe it is better for mobile players, I dunno

Secondly - they returned the rimet cup event - I again don't know if it was full story or just battles - I finished it on it's first run. But this is really good, cause players had the chance to get rewards they missed. Sadly, they didn't returned first Uttu challenge - at that time i had zero build characters and wasn't able to beat even 18 stage

And here is the part that really saddens me - all of 1.6 events are combat-based. In main event - we fight, in side-storyies (Getian and Jiu Niangzi) we fight, mane bulletin - we are still fighting, in UTTU - you can guess what we are doing.

The only one that tries to bring something different - Echoes in the mountain, but all that it is actually changing - we can choose buffs for fighting, and our characters are downgraded. Problem is - this event is extremely repetitive. It was so boring I failed to finish it - and that is rare.

From 1.1 we always had some gameplay variety - in 1.1 we were stealing from museum and talking to a dog, in 1.2 we had event with multiple endings - almost a full visual novel, in 1.3 we had puzzles in Shamane and Kaalaa Baunaa stories and we repaired Shamanes arm, in 1.4 we again has puzzles in 37s story, in 1.5 - Ezra concurred mountain. The last one is similar to Echoes - but in Ezras quest we were told stories through gameplay, and some repetitiveness were compensated by new data. And there were no combat - it was choise-based progression. It was not hard at all.

Story and gameplay were interesting and unique and worked with each other. Now there is no gameplay aside from combat - and combat turned into a chore. What a bummer.

I dunno, maybe it's just me, and everyone else had their fun - but I sure didn't
