[anonymocha]

ἀστὴρ οἶμαι σύ τις ἑσπέριος, ἀστέρων πάντων ὀ κάλλιστος . . .

You are, I think, an evening star, the fairest of all the stars.

— Sappho

💥💥💥 Hello KaalaaPocket nation (only me I think). Here are some extra stuff!!!

The pose is based on René Gruau’s Le tango (1990). + Untextured version!!!

The lyrics are from Falling Starlight and Moonlight, it's from the Metallic Rouge anime OST!!!

That song got me thinking of Kaalaa Baunaa and only Kaalaa Baunaa………. I kept listening to that and some lounge-y Utena OST while drawing this <3

Gregor: ay Buddy just to start off with, I’m not judging with anyone’s representation and what they decide to do with their head yk? Your body ur choice

Mmm delicious immoral actions and expectations from a higher organization in control the group is forced to rely on. I eat it up every time. Constantine would thrive in this world

-

Ishmael: All of your introductions are disappointing as hell. You do know this is us introducing ourselves to a superior right? We’re working right now.

Also Ishmael: I’m Ishmael

MC: here I thought you’d be one of the normal ones….

-

MC: I mean I want my head back but eh….. eH

Vergilius: smh, I tell you to go to hell and you hesitate? Smh.

-

Imagine losing ur head and memories and non-binary company takes you, dies, gets revived, and tells you to literally go to hell

-

Faust: Ur strategy game is clearly shit so let me tell you how to improve

-

Vergilius: enough useless chatter

No???? Knowing how to revive people is actually incredibly useful?? I need to know how to be doing that

-

WE HAVE A FUCKING SANITY BAR??? NOOOOOOOOOOO

-

Oh god the designated driver is a speed demon-

-

Yeah Kagamine Rin, speak ur truth

Vergilius is such an antiyapper. Get bro some noise cancelling headphones with the way he hates background dialogue

-

AYYYYYYY MILI SONGGG WRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

-

Oh damn it really is a bus and not a train- though to be fair it is like the outer look of a train just compressed into one car

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

Happy end of pride month to Kaalaa Baunaa skin wishers (me) in getting her garment earlier on 1.7 SOON.

Pray for my speedy recovery (and my wallet’s).
