Game appreciation post

With the Summer Game Fest sales, I decided to redo what I did two years ago: buy a trio of indie games for a price that I think could be considered as "stealing' (<40€).

Those 3 games are games that were on my wishlist for a long time so I knew that I was about to find myself overwhelmed with insane quality titles.

And so I find myself with 3 games, 3 bangers:

Foretales:

I don't know if it's just that I'm discovering a new genre of games but this game is masterfully crafted.

It has a very good tutorial that covers all of the complicated mechanics of the game and by the end of it, you feel like you've done it all your life.

The writing in this is very impressive taking into account that the story is not fixed but modular, where the choices you make changes how the story plays.

Revita:

The classic roguelite experience but with an extra attention to details and quality of life, making the game feel very good and smooth.

The story and theme of the game is around depression, suicide and grief but it's subtle enough and done so right that it doesn't get to heavy.

The content seems absolutely gigantic. Weapons, secondary weapons, items, rooms, achievements and probably even more are unlockable content and there is a lot.

SwordShip:

Not so mindless fun in this arcade game that advertises itself as a "dodge them up". It has just the right balance between reflection and reflexes.

For a game with not a lot of content at first glance, the mix of elements combined with intense gameplay make for a great time that doesn't feel repetitive.

For once, I found a game that doesn't sugarcoat it: it's hard and you're not going to get helped by the game as unlocks are only here to diversify the runs, not to make them easier.

Last thing:

Even though I didn't talk about it for each game, the music and visuals are in perfect cohesion with the games and really enhance the overall experiences.

yeah dude, i love FFXIV boss fights

[chronophobica]

okay so i wanted to answer your ship names question regarding yugi/yami/kaiba/jou ships so here's that! (past-life pharaoh atem has different ship names which is why i listed him as yami here)

pairs

yugi x yami: puzzleshipping

yugi x kaiba: rivalshipping

yugi x jou: wishshipping

yami x kaiba: prideshipping

yami x jou: dragonshipping

kaiba x jou: puppyshipping / violetshipping (also called kaijou or joukai)

throuples

kaiba x jou x yugi: battleshipping

kaiba x jou x yami: kamishipping

kaiba x yami x yugi: flareshipping

yami x yugi x jou: feathershipping

and finally- the ot4

kaiba x jou x yami x yugi: mainshipping

another thing- mainshipping has also been used for the yugi/yami x judai x yusei crossover ship (bonds beyond time) so that gets a little confusing. i've also seen it called 5DXshipping? unsure if there's different names for judai x yusei x yugi and judai x yusei x yami since i've seen yugi and yami used interchangeably with both ship names, as well as having judai x yusei x yami x yugi all together

thank you so much for this list i have been suffering so much, i don't know if i'd want to use mainshipping if its also being used for another ot3 in the same fandom though; this shits confusing man i dont wanna clog up someone else tags but im not really sure what the solution here is aaa

Cue Joey, just having wanted to spend time with his three boyfriends, tripping over his feet and straight up faceplanting onto the floor with a good sounding thud. Giving a slight groan, he decided to just stay there, seems he was still getting used to not being able to see very well.

"I uh....I think I'm just gonna stay face down an' end my turn for the day....Kay thanks..."

Oh well, at least he hadn't seemed to lose his sense of humor.

Tonight was game night for the four of them, and Yugi had decided it was time to possibly risk their relationship with a game of Uno.  He and Joey would often play with Honda, Anzu, Ryou, and any of their other friends, and while Atem would watch invisibly over Yugi’s shoulder, he never felt comfortable taking over to play.  He already got to take over during duels.  It wouldn’t feel right taking away the casual, fun moments Yugi had with his friends.

They all looked up at Joey as he fell.  Yugi and Atem winced at the impact, but Seto didn’t seem phased.  He just huffed, set down his cards, and stood up.

“My move,” he signed and circled around the table.  “I activate my spell card: Puppy Scruff.”  He grabbed the back of Joey’s shirt with his prosthetic and lifted him off the ground so his feet were dangling underneath him and they were looking each other in the eyes.

Blue Eye Samurai Imagine

Imagine if Mizu wasn't seen as a Onryo but a subject of beauty

Imagine if she was seen as something Godlike because of her eyes

Imagine if there were men who were trying to grapple for Mizu at her birth

Imagine if she grew up in the palace alongside other princesses like here that had special physical beauties like ginger hair or freckles

Imagine her being sought after by men that had only heard of her sapphire eyes

Imagine instead of being alongside of the other girls she was usually found out with the men being better at swordship then them

Imagine no one daring to argue with her because of the belief she was seen as a divine being

Imagine the myths of "The Blue Eyed Princess" and "The sapphire eyed boy" floating around, no one knowing that they were one in the same. Well no one except one

Imagine Akemi having met Mizu, as she made her away around Japan with a mission to find and kill the men that had cursed her.

Imagine Taigan being a simple Ramen chef and Ringo being a sword master

Imagine the story being retold with a different voice

Flash Swordship - Defenders of the Earth (Galoob)

[mehiwilldoitlater]

Mihawk:

God of War and Swordship (Painite Necklace)

Like a siren to a lost soul, the beauty of the jewel dragged you to itself. 

The pattern was simple, but the beauty of the gems gave the jewels royal attire. It was as beautiful as it was scary, with those gems tinted in that bloody red.

A fog appeared from nowhere; if there was some kind of light, now it was completely gone. Only darkness surrounds you. Before you could notice it, you were in a dark forest, not knowing that the darkness was a product of the thickness of the tree or the nighttime.

You were so confused until light came into your view.

Finally,. you stepped out of the forest, only to find the source of the light: a castle, a dark manor that, you swear, even the ones in the fairytale could have been able to compare.

You weren't aware that its master waited for you.

Despite being a god with a certain duty, Nihawk is always known to care a little about this matter.

His status was obtained after many encounters with a terrible foe, after eons of fighting, of violence, and of blood, but Mihawk acts more for honor than for the concept of war itself. There are so many aspects of war that, you could say, he represents the one that lets honorable warriors fight to the end.

When a mortal is chosen to be a god partner, usually the first thing that a god receives is fear, confusion, and sometimes rage, but Mihawk never imagines finding a sorrowful bride on his doorstep.

He wasn't sure why the great Creator decided that a soon-to-be bride, in her white dress, with her makeup messed from her tears, could be a good partner, but he decided not to peer too much about it.

You accepted him, but he still wanted to court you properly. You may have chosen him by chiseling his jewel, but he still wanted to know you better and try to understand who he had in front of him.

He wanted a proper partner, not a forced wife by destiny.

When you open up to him and discover that you are a new goddess of love, falling for him feels natural. Heìs charming, elegant, respectful, and he would literally burn the world for you.

You'll tell him why you were in that state when he found you.

But maybe not now...

Isn't Being A Wicked Woman Much Better? Side Story Chapter 4

“Thank you for inviting me to such a nice place, Duke.

“Ummm.”

To put it bluntly, the whole family suddenly gathered because of Isidore, but since he seemed to be happy as if he thought he had me in the family reunion, Duke Seymour gasped inwardly.

“… You must be hungry, come, Duke Visconti.”

“Yes, Duke Seymour.”

Soon, appetizers and rose-colored champagne were placed on a long table, and the meal began in a quiet atmosphere.

“The ingredients are fresh and the seasoning is really good.”

In the stillness, Isidor said, making a hollow in the mouth. Even though he ate happily enough to make the viewer feel good, his table manners were flawless and aristocratic.

'Ooh.'

Enrique looked at Isidore like that with some resentment.

'Why does that person have a good personality with shiny hair and face.'

_“Enrique, you say you’re learning swordship?”_

Heard that I was learning swordsmanship recently, he handed me a treasured sword with magic stones as a New Year's gift today.

_“Nice to meet you again. In the meantime, You got taller."_

'How did you know I grew 1.3 cm taller?'

Most of them don't know.

To be honest… Confucius Visconti seems like a good person. It's not polite to stare like this, but I could tell just by looking at his friendly eyes.

If Isidor were a wretched and stupid person like Filap, he would be able to fight and argue not to get married. I don't know, bad!

“Enrique-kun.”

“Yes?”

Suddenly Isidor calls himself, and Enrique shrugs his shoulders.

“Looking at it earlier, it seemed that he had a talent for swordsmanship.”

“… me?”

“Yes. You have a good skeletal and your posture shows that you have no bad problem at all”

When the magic swordsman, who had done a great job against terrifying demons and monsters, praised my posture, Enrique became a little embarrassed and clenched his toes.

As I was biting my lips because I didn't know what to say, a huge crepe that I had been wanting to eat the whole time appeared. Deborah gave a brief admiration.

“It’s really big.”

The giant crepes that filled the big table boasted a majesty that overwhelms everyone.

“But how do you eat it?”

The cut-and-cooked crepe, which originally featured preserving its full moon-like round shape, did not exist at all.

“Should I call the chef in charge?”

Belek muttered in exasperation, and Isidor stood up.

“I will cut it.”

“you?”

“yes. By practicing how to cut the steak neatly, you will be able to cut it well.”

“Why did you practice like that? Is it part of swordsmanship training?”

“Using an auror allows you to confine the gravy as much as possible, so you can enjoy the original taste of the meat.”

“haha. You're a foodie.”

As if it was no joke that they practiced, the precious ingredients in the crepes were cut neatly without leaking a single one. In addition, there is even a service that puts crepes on the plate in front of each person with a transfer magic.

“It’s a useful skill.”

“I know.”

Enrique's eyes widened in surprise.

“I will enjoy this food. Thanks for the cut.”

“Eat a lot of enrique.”

The child, who had seen the New Year in a fairy tale book where the whole family gathered and shared crepes, looked very satisfied.

The youngest, eating crepe with the above face, was cute and gave Seymour a small smile, meanwhile, Isidor cut the crepe into smaller pieces for Deborah to eat.

But there were people who did not assimilate at all in this friendly atmosphere.

Rosad narrowed her eyes as she looked at the subtle auras that had formed on Isidor's knife.

'That skill that cuts food neatly without scratching the plate. You look useful when you're dating a girl.'

Seeing how delicate and sophisticated the mana control is, it seems like it's not something I've done once or twice.

Athletes How to Recognize Athletes. For some reason it smells like the same player.

'After all, I'll have to shake it off properly.'

Towards the end of dinner, when it was time for bed, Enrique was holding back his yawn and weeping, and Duke Seymour got up to take the youngest to their annex.

“Bring it.”

As soon as the two disappeared, Rosad glanced at the servant, followed by a black keg of a size that would make him intimidating just looking at it.

“Deborah, you go up too. I have a story to tell with the Duke of Visconti, man-to-man.”

"What is he saying now. Are you drunk already?”

Deborah didn't even snort her.

“It’s cheap, isn’t it a husband you’ll look tired of every day if you get married anyway? You won't have many opportunities to get together like this in the future, but today you give up your fiancé."

He went as far as Belek to help.

“brother-in-law, what do you think? Having a drink with us casually.”

“....”

Rosad asks skillfully.

brother-in-law. The word struck Isidor's heart bluntly.

Having a relationship approved by the Seymour twins, who seemed like a strong man.

Deborah swallowed a sigh as she looked into the emerald-colored eyes that fluttered relentlessly.

“Don’t eat too much. Don't bully me, don't stain it badly.”

“Bad water? Are we demons?”

“So, do it in moderation.”

Belek asked again, looking at her sister's back, which was far away after glaring at her with a veiled sharp gaze.

“Sir Isidore, you started dating because you were threatened, right?”

“no. I liked her a lot from the start, and I confessed first.”

“After all, if you want to tell the truth, you have to drink alcohol first.”

The brandy that Rosard brought out was so powerful that Belek, who usually does drink alcohol, was the first to get drunk.

“The Duke of Visconti… ! When tears come out of my brother's eyes, it's not like your eyes are bleeding. Please know that our Seymour is the one to extract without tears of blood.”

He rushed forward and gave Isidor a stern warning, but

“… Still, you are the best among the kids your age. They're all stinky and too sensitive... The more I think about it, the more there is no one like you.”

He was gibberish and gave compliments.

“But Sir Isidor, aren’t you really threatened? I'm not doing this because I'm intimidated, but objectively, you have a much better personality.”

“Not at all. The princess is too much for me.”

“Did Deborah teach you to say that? She's my little sister, but she's very meticulous and scary. She's a saint, huh? Does it make sense!?”

“The princess is sweeter, kinder, more lovable and cute than Saint Naila.”

“ugh, am I drunk and keep listening to nonsense?”

Belek turned into a chicken and shuddered, eventually raising his arms as if surrendering, and squealing back to his place.

'The man who only talked about poor nutrition is gone and the two of us are finally alone.'

Rosad then took a short breath and looked at Isidore, sipping alcohol.

“Sir Isidore, are you really good at drinking like this?”

“It’s not something I really enjoy.”

“Are you good at drinking like that? It’s nice to meet someone who has the right amount of alcohol after a while.”

“I’m a little nervous. It’s nice to have a drink with Rosard too.”

The two continued to give and take again, and as time went on, the hazy energy in Isidore's eyes grew stronger.

Rosa de secretly dumped alcohol with a quick hand gesture, so Isidore was drinking a lot one-sidedly.

'Let's see where we really do not come out. '

Rosard was constantly refilling empty glasses, and his eyes gleamed like a viper.

***

the next morning.

Deborah flicked her tongue in surprise as she looked at Rosard, who had been quenched by the hangover.

Isidor, who had been drinking all night, was sleeping in the guest room without knowing the world, and the eldest son in every corner of the house, who had a stubborn and impeccable appearance, became such a beggar.

“Why did you suddenly catch Isidore and make a masterpiece? After all, what was your plan?”

“Deborah.”

“What?”

“to Isidor, I hope you to do well”

Instead of answering, he made a wacky sound.

“… suddenly?”

“Anyway, good job. There is no one like Duke Visconti in the country. you are very lucky, If you are a saint, Isidor is the son of god.”

“What does that mean?”

“There is such a thing. For a moment, I thought you were a waste, but you two look good together. It's a heavenly match.”

Rosad turned around after saying what he had to say, and sticking out his tongue, remembering the drinking party with Isidor last night.

He caught Isidore, who was completely drunk, and one of his specialties was taking confessions.

“Isidor, honestly, isn’t today an uncomfortable place for you? Father, me, and Belek aren't the kind of people you comfortable with. With Deborah as well, it would have been easier for the previous opponent to deal with... ”

“yes. It’s really not comfortable.”

“Now you’re getting a little more honest.”

“I really want to look good to Deborah's family. So every time we meet, I get nervous, but today, I felt really good that you called me brother-in-law.”

At Isidore's answer, which felt somewhat innocent, Rosard felt an unusually sly smirk.

“Hmm! You can call me big brother.”

“It's good.… Oh, by the way, big brother.”

“Yes.”

“Who is your previous partner?”

“I asked yes only? You must have met someone before.”

“I have never dated anyone before.”

“Nobody?”

“Yes.”

Isidor nodded his head broadly.

“why?”

“It’s mysophobia. Except for Deborah, I can’t touch anyone.”

“Really? Is Deborah the first?”

“yes. The princess felt that I was a genius for the first time, the humor was funny but cute, and …”

What is this child?

There is a saying that drunken seriousness.

He was very good at obtaining a confession by torture, but even if he looked closely, Isidore's tone, eyes, and gestures did not seem to be lying.

Besides, I had to listen all night long to Isidor, who was drunk, about how great my sister was.

'Well, like that... Are there any alcoholic beverages like Palbulbul? '

I had unlocked the heart of the Duke of Visconti with alcohol, but somehow it felt like I had opened something I couldn't see.

He sighed, rubbing his swollen eyes.

'I'm testing someone as pure as the first snow. I feel sorry for nothing.'

The conscience, which was nothing more than a vestigial organ, suddenly stings.

Reflecting on the years of debauchery, Rosad decided to sincerely bless his sister's marriage.

Heard you talk about different 2d bullet hell shooters on a few occasions in your streams and I was curious, is there anything in particular you enjoy about them/ any in particular you enjoy? Been able to get sort of into Fantasy Zone myself but I haven’t been able to get myself to really enjoy similar things in the genre

I don't really play a lot of bullet hell stuff, specifically. I DO like shmups, though! I just don't play 'em super often nowadays. I'd have to sit and think on it for a while to put together a "what do you like about it?" kind of answer. The challenge is fun, I'm a sucker for the aesthetics (the visuals are usually fun goofy sci-fi stuff and for some reason the genre seems to attract Bangers Only), and I think it's neat that the controls are (usually) very straight-forward, so mastery becomes using simple tools to do real cool-feeling things.

Some ones I like off the top of my head: "Ikaruga", "ZeroRanger", "Monolith". I haven't played them (yet) but I've heard good things about "BLUE REVOLVER" and "Thunder Force III" and "Swordship". This is maybe a stretch given that you don't do much shooting, but combat in "UNDRTALE" is very intentionally using shmup bullet patterns / dodging mechanics, so I'm going to put it here.

Do the "Star Fox" games count as shmups? I guess they're more akin to rail shooters, but there's certainly enough overlap between the two. Genres are made up & inherently reductive on purpose etc etc yadda yadda I imagine you know the song and jazz. But you DO shoot them up in those games, I think. Anyways this is a long-worded way of reminding myself "oh yeah I've never played any of those games".
