TAICHI YAGAMI WEEK 2024

[marinaiguess]

Tails cannot carry Sonic in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, right? But he can however in the next games (Sonic 3&K). I know it’s just a new game mechanic BUT!

Tails helps Sonic in any way he can. He gathers rings, he destroys badniks, he hits Eggman as he follows Sonic, watching and learning from him. He learns how to spindash just by looking at him. But the real reason behind why he doesnt help him by carrying him is that Tails doesn’t know Sonic well enough, not yet. He doesn’t trust him fully just like he doesn’t trust himself and his skills. Heck, he just learned he can use his tails to fly (thanks to Sonic), he’s not sure what else he can do with them. Maybe losing all those rings in the special stages has messed up with his already low conifdence as well.

But throughout the game, as he follows Sonic who does not give up on him, no matter if he messes up, Tails trusts him more and learns to trust himself as well. Sonic is the first one who trusted him to be by his side and that of course, impacts Tails. By the end of their first adventure together they know each other quite well, each other’s strengths and weaknesses as well as their own and so, when their new advenutre begins, one where they have to fight a new rival beside Eggman, they know they have to put faith in themselves and each other. So, Tails helps Sonic in a much more coordinated way, now able to carry him around while flying, even if it’s for a little while. 

That ability evolves, as their trust and bond grows stronger, so much so that he basically saves Sonic from falling to his death and puts him back on track if he cannot help him in any other way (Sonic Colors Ultimate).

How Many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon

[birdsareblooming]

So considering Sonic is one of the bigger franchises along the likes of Mario, which would you recommend as a "first game" or starting point for someone who's only played a small bit of one or two games in the past? I'm hoping to play at least one of each Smash character's games and Sonic is pretty big so I'm not sure where to start. I do have Sonic Mania on the Xbox but I haven't played it yet. (Not Sonic Mania Plus though, at least I don't think so.)

Ooooh uuuh?

First game for sonic for most people was forces which isn’t a GREAT starting point?

I’d reccomend started by watching/playing Sonic Colors. I think it’s simple enough that it’s a good starting point before getting into the lore games (Sonic adventure, sonic advenutre 2, sonic heroes, shadow the hedgehog, etc)

[the-fourth-knower]

Your least favourite Sonic character. Go on, make some hate. You know you want to.

Hmmmm. Going by the games...

Advenutre era Knuckles, english voice. I dunno, I don't find him too interesting with his English voice. And in SA2 he's, really feeling like a bit of a unneeded character who's just along to justify a gameplay gimmick.

by the shows?

I think Sonic X Shadow is a bit bland. I dunno, just not too much of a fan of him.

By the comics that I've read?

Betty Butterfly. no contet.

...There is Pepe Eagle as well.

More Family Content: Setting Up A Grimdark Campaign

Grimdark is a setting style thats focus on dystopian fantasy violence and the ammoral, think less ‘Starving Games 9: the diverging maze runner, girl is special but in love with two guys’ nonsense and more the Warhammer. I myself, (being someone who never grew out his angsty side) is an absolute whore for this kinda stuff. The main appeal for this setting is no matter who you are, you are a villain. But thats good. Cause everyone is  a villain in a grimdark campagin and being the villain is cool sometimes. So I thought I would give you my process of setting up a Grimdark D&D Campaign if anyone wants to try it.

Inspiration

Well before we commence on actually scarring our players we need ideas. And to quote Picasso, “good artists borrow, great artists steal”. So lets look at some recommendations for you to read or look up or play to steal-I mean take ‘inspiration’ from.

The Warhammer Franchise: If you looked up Grimdark in the dictionary you would find a image of the Warhammer universes with the words ‘For The Emperor’ covered in heretic blood. The Warhammer Franchise has two Grimdark settings, the ‘40k universe’ and the ‘Age of Sigmar universe’, both good examples. The 40k universe being a high gothic sci-fi universe as the zealous and xenophobic imperium of mankind and their space marines who fight gods of chaos and egyptian alien terminators... and Orks (Yes actual orks) who paint things red to make them ‘go fasta’. Age of Sigmar is the more fantasy side with Giant bat zombies and Rat hulks and whatever the Hell-pit Abomination is supposed to be. Both good starting points, if you would rather read then trying to play the games and get drowned in lore, for the Age of Sigmar angle try ‘Scourge of Fate’, ‘Court of the Blind King’ and ‘Rulers of the Dead’ for my recommendations, though Age of Sigmar has book series for each faction in the game so choose an aesthetic you would like. For 40k, could not recommend anything outside the Horus Heresy series, yes its over 50 books but pick the first one ‘Horus Rising’ and that should help. Warhammer actually even has ‘Warhammer horror’ series set in the universes as well if you want to go a spoopy angle.

The Starcraft Franchise: Moving alittle over and returning to the realm of science fiction there is the Starcraft franchise. The starcraft games really pull from the previous mention Warhammer for its concepts and designs and pulls it off well. Plus I really enjoy the world building almost as much as the warhammer stuff (Okay last time I will mention Warhammer). So go onto youtube and look  the games up or go buy and play them. However there are some books aswell if you would rather just read up on the lore like ‘Flashpoint’ and ‘Queen of Blades’. Obviously this is if you want to go for a more sci-fi or steam punk styled game but its D&D, do want you want (And if you want to do a sci-fi, look up the Dark Matter suppliment). But overal a good idea of how to do Grimdark.

The Song of Ice and Fire Books: Now put your pitchforks and torches down, I know season 8 of Game of Thrones was the equivlent of a hooker; that being you expect a huge payoff but you get robbed the satisfaction, being left with nothing but disappointment and a strange itch in your groin afterwards that reminds you of what you hoped for. But we are talking the books not the tv series (Though you can include it I suppose). Many of us know this franchise for its sheer bleak outlook of alliances and the concept of loyalty and the roulette of life that may just kill someone important at any point. Obviously a more medival approach for Grimdark but a good one and I would recommend it to anyone (When he finally finishes writing THE DAMN FINAL BOOKS). Obviously the whole book series is the reading recommadtion so find them cheap somewhere and delve in headfirst.

Other more Eldritch recommendations: Cosmic horror and grimdark go together like a fat kid and diabetes so I thought I would throw some quick recommendations for if you want to explore this angle aswell:

The Yellow King-Robert Chambers: A collection of short stories revolving around cults and maddness... yes please.

Bloodbourne-fromsoftware:  Phenomenal game, explores both classic gothic and cosmic horror, I have drawn from this game for inspiration A LOT more than I am comfortable saying. If you can’t get through the game, maybe try the Offical Artwork book as it can gve images that you can use a inspiration for scene dressing in game.

The HP Lovecraft bibliography and the Cthullu Mythos: Seperating the man from his work, the penned work of HP Lovecraft is still some of the best written cosmic horror from the arguable father of cosmic horror... once you get over the racial stuff.

The Dark tower book series and IT- Stephen King: A more light hearted apporach to Cosmic Horror but still good horror to pull inspiration from. Main issue, if you wish to read up on Stephen King, set some time aside  

The Darkest Dungeon-Red Hook Studios: Not gonna lie, I love this game probably too much (I will probably blame it for my obesity if I wasn’t aware thats it’s my fault I am a fat f*ck) I think it shows exactly how bad it probably would be a adventurer (I actually base my own stress rules on this game-more on that in another post) so is a good representation on what a grimdark fanatsy world would be like on these characters.

Session 0

Alright now that you have successfully ripped off every grimdark franchise-I mean collected recommendations for inspiration, let’s move onto what to discuss in your Session 0.

1. What are your players okay with?

This one is painfully obvious but a session 0 is like when you lose your virignity; you don’t set some bounderies or go into it somewhat prepared, you are gonna face a sticky situation afterwards and probably get your head kicked in by someones dad for corrupting their kid (Just me?...).On the topic at hand, its good to know what your players are okay with and can inform your story direction. For instance, I had a player who want to play a reform brothel worker but i would not allow it due to the circumstances of another player.  Normally the questions I ask beforehand is is the following

Are you okay with detail viseral descriptions of violence?

Are you okay with scenes of torture/depravity?

Are you okay with depictions of slavery or prostitution?

Are you okay with themes like suicide or mental/phyiscal abuse?

Are you okay with sacrifical death or occult themes?

Are you okay with swearing?

Following this you should adjust according to suit your players, you want them to enjoy being evil, not weeping at the evil around them. So before you do anything, set your bounderies.

2. What is their motivation?

Another obvious one but also important one. To help establish characters in the world they live in, you must discuss their motives. Why are they on a quest? What are their intentions with the reward after? And so on and so on. Then once you have that and have discuss you can help the players fit the world alittle more. A thing I have told my players is to think of a motive for a character and turn it into an obession; this is due to the theme of obession is thorough throughout many grimdark settings as it’s easy to make a character’s good intentions twisted when they become so obessed with and wrapped up in it.

Of course you’ll get players that while wanting to play grimdark still want to be the token good upstanding hero because reasons (These would be the people that go to a pick and mix shop just gets white mice the bland pricks). But it is okay, you can work with it and truthfully I like the dynamic of the bright eyed advenutrer and friends that slowly gets tainted by the reality of the world they live in (If you want some inspiration on this I recommend the show Madoka Magica).

3. Understanding

Okay this is a more serious point. Alot of players I have played grimdark have kinda took some of the darker elements for granted as well they haven’t experience things like that. Which in turn can hurt players that have experience in those matters. So I always ask my players (And I am asking you too future grimdark DMs) to look into these themes, research and understand why they are not right and why we should not really have them in real life. If you are playing something like this just so you can be a slave trader without consequence then may I ask you to leave the table.

Playing to be a villain is good, playing to be an asshole is bad.

And that should help, I would in0clude some the additonal rules I use aswell like Stress and Bleeding but I will save them for another post after I am finished rewriting them for the third time and this post is already so goddamn long. If you also have recommendations for new DMs when it comes to running Grimdark, by all means share them. Thank you for reading.

Digimon Adventure 2020 ep 1X02 War Game

Just finished the second episode of Advenutre 2020 and it was decent. We pick up where we left off last time and Tai introduces his new friend Matt to Izzy.

I don’t have a lot to say about this episode. We see the crest of friendship which is cool

I’m still not a fan of the digital world looking like this

But I can live with it. Just prefer how it’s always resembled more closely to Earth than “digital”.

I do love this new feature on the digivice

This map being pulled up is very Tamers-esque and I love it!

My issue with this episode is

What

The heck

Are you doing here

Just... why is omnimon already showing up. We don’t even have the whole band back together yet. Haven’t even learned about our crest and reached the ultimate form for our partners. Seeing him so early feels absolutely rushed. He didn’t need to show up now.
