Started playing Oddworld Abe's Oddysee for PSX recently - and you know what? I got about halfway through the game and literally quit. Frustratingly hard to the point where I was not enjoying it all. Even with save states! I can only think of a few other instances where I quit a game without finishing it at least once. But I admit I'm an action game guy through and through and don't have much patience when it comes to strategery or tactics.
Anyhow - short story long, I got to thinking about the similarities between Oddysee and the prior games it seems to be inspired by (which I DID enjoy, BTW)

Update on my cinematic platformer journey which no one is following but I'm gonna write about it anyway:
I just finished Heart of the Alien, the "sequel" to Another World.
It's no good. Not only is the gameplay lower quality and much less interesting, but the story is poorly plotted and doesn't make much sense.
Thankfully, the creator of Another World (who was not involved in it) also thought it was no good, and doesn't consider it canon. So I am fully justified in not considering it canon either. I guess it would have been OK as a playable fanfic if it would have admitted that's what it is.
I can't say I'm disappointed, since I knew going into it that it wasn't very popular. I don't think I could have satisfied my curiosity without playing it, though. I suppose I could have just watched a playthrough. Meh, whatever.
Another World is the masterpiece that deserves every bit of praise it got. Heart of the Alien is just a bad case of sequelitis.
Up next: Flashback! It's not connected to Another World, but it's made by the same studio and considered a sort of spiritual successor. Unlike Heart of the Alien, Flashback is said to be very good and considered another classic. I'm excited to get started on it!

Alien Stage is so crazy to me because it’s. It’s about many things but what stands out to me the most is how the children of Anakt Garden during times of extreme hardship and fear and literal alien colonization, instead of looking toward some omniscient being(s) for salvation or succumbing to cynicism/nihilism, they look toward each other to find hope. All it takes is a connection with one person, just one instance of butterflies in a society where things like love and romance are all but obsolete, and now they’re making that person their God their reason to live and breathe and wake up every morning. (Or, in some cases, to give up their lives. If it means protecting the life of their beloved.) And it’s like. It’s as if what sets us apart from aliens or simply what makes us human is our capacity to whole-heartedly, unabashedly love one another. Even to the end of ourselves.

my hot take is that jadzia dax is everything people assume kirk is. a bon vivant verging on a hedonist. a scrappy fighter. a playboy with like twelve sex partners on every planet, starbase, and science outpost in the quadrant. loyal to her friends to the death. always like a LITTLE drunk. in command. drawn as if by fate to an emo alien who's traumatized and repressed and has a lovely baritone. a top
#ds9#star trek#jadzia dax#dax#james t kirk#kirk drift#sisko is the alien just to be clear#exposing my siskodax bias#for that matter kira and mariner also have kirk drift traits#aos kirk lovers pls let mariner into yr hearts

ivan and till have their first kiss, an alternate ending 💕
please look at this comic for context and Part 1!
#suggestive#ivantill#ivan#till#alien stage#alnst#my art#erm. hey guys. i can explain#my feed has been feeding me too much angst ever since the nyc cards so i had to Do Something#some notes as usual. this is what i imagine what mutual ivantill is like#i am a firm believer that when till realizes his feelings for ivan he will pursue those feelings without hesitation#but bc till is a romantic he wants to do it properly (that’s why the way he approaches his first kiss seems gentle)#sure on a surface level i would say Ivan just wants to get to it1!1!#but despite his teasing ivan would be a mix of sweet and intense since Till reciprocated his feelings and doesnt have to hold back anymore#a true yearner at heart. bless that boy#they really shouldve been at the clurb 💔
