#best game to ever exist

[cyanrendipity]

New full moon... which I totally wasn't avoiding... ahaha... I love arcana strenght and arcana wheel of fortune.... nothing bad ever happens after that fight 🥲👍

WELL starting from the beginning, what a month

We got a bit more strega but turns out only Takaya talked to me again, I assume I won't get 1 on 1 Jin time which is sad, but I'm enjoying it anyway, we also got to see Medea but just for a split second, come back girl (Is that all we see of her? Does she show up again?)

Amazing month, I loved the Shinjiro's hang outs but I feel like there was some dialog missing from just talking to him around the dormitory? Maybe I'm wrong, or wait hang on maybe I didn't check them all?? Time to play this month again (not) I love Shinjiro 🥺

But on the other hand is really hard not to hate Ken LOL It's the same as I feel with Yukari, like I understand they're young and going thru a hard time but also they're annoying to me specifically,

(I say that as if I didn't feel the exact same way when I was 11)

I think Ken is an interesting character tho and I thought his first two linked events, the ones that happened so far, were pretty neat, him asking MC to take care of his hamster if something happened to him pulled on my heartstrings I'll admit, these children should stop being ready to die they're making me sad

Speaking of which, Mitsuru Akihiko and Shinji flashback😭 I loved Shinji's linked events, I don't remember the fact that he skipped classes being acknowledged in the original (before his eulogy I mean). The 3 of them making a promise to graduate together torn my heart to pieces god, how can they make this EVEN SADDER.

Shinjiro without a hat is always funny looking tho, hat hair <3

Now finally for the full moon 😔 I thought I would have a hard time cause I only pick my team based on my faves (Aigis, Akihiko and Koromaru, pretty sure I've always used this team for everything since my first playthrough of fes lmao) but turns out I'm op and poor fortune couldn't even do the unfair wheel properly, I remember I had SO MUCH trouble with them when I was playing portable, I kept having to use save states to cheat that fight. I'm pretty sure on that version the colors meant who it was gonna affect? But this time no matter what it affects everyone I feel like that makes it so much easier. Anyway it was over pretty quick

And MY GOD this was THE MOST HEART WRENCHING VERSION OF SHINJIRO'S DEATH WHAT THE FUCK, this cant be recency bias I'm gonna go watch the other versions hang on

BANGING MY HANDS ON MY DESK, OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS SO GOOOOD AAAAAAAAA

Ok so, I guess they took inspiration on the anime version of the scene with Akihiko holding Shinjiro instead of Shinji just fucking walking and falling over (good choice, very good choice, my heart) BUT THEN RELOAD ALSO ADDED HIM PETTING KOROMARU, I CAN'T, I CAN NOOOOOOT HE HOWLS ALONG WITH KEN'S SCREAM AUGH!!!!!

THE JAPANESE VA REALLY SOLD THE SCREAM TOO I THINK THIS IS ALSO THE BEST SCREAM EVER

I am literally so hyped up right now this is amazing I almost cried but then I got too excited by how good it was LMAO, absolute cinema as my friends say, my heart hurts I need to punch something

my favourite part about Jean and Andrew is that when they both realised that they had caught a crush

— they were so pissed about it.

*sigh* thoughts on Nintendo's botw/totk timeline shenanigans and tomfoolery?

tbh. my maybe-unpopular opinion is that the timeline is only important when a game's place on the timeline seriously informs the way their narrative progresses. the problem is that before botw we almost NEVER got games where it didn't matter. it matters for skyward sword because it's the beginning, and it matters for tp/ww/alttp (and their respective sequels) because the choices the hero of time makes explicitly inform the narrative of those games in one way or another. it matters which timeline we're in for those games because these cycles we're seeing are close enough to oot's cycle that they're still feeling the effects of his choices. botw, however, takes place at minimum 10 thousand years after oot, so its place on the timeline actually functionally means nothing. botw is completely divorced from the hero of time & his story, so what he does is a nonissue in the context of botw link and zelda's story. thus, which timeline botw happens in is a nonissue. honestly I kind of liked the idea that it happened in all of them. i think there's a cool idea of inevitability that can be played with there. but the point is that the timeline exists to enhance and fill in the lore of games that need it, and botw/totk don't really need it because the devs finally realized they could make a game without the hero of time in it.

I had to make it brief to fit the sign.

Can we normalise critiquing the media we consume and being open to other people's perspectives?

Viva Piñata art dump

Viva Piñata was my favorite game when I was younger and it influenced my style heavily throughout the years but I've noticed it's like really niche? I haven't seen a lot of people talking about it which is a shame since the whole series is absolutely adorable. So I'm spreading the word myself with some funky doodles

[crazy-fangirl2524]

This scene is so so sad but also so funny like “don’t you dare be more afraid of me than you are of Andrew” serious Nora is a genius like how she managed to combine the saddest most gut wrenching tragedy with just fucking hilarious one liners I love aftg so much

dont get it twisted. solmares announcement was made for one reason and one reason only:

the players refused to support the game, so obey me couldnt afford to keep itself alive

free to play/live service games 100% rely on the support of players to keep themselves up and running. if they cant afford to keep the lights on, then they cant afford to keep pushing out new content and updates

and i havent ever in my life seen a player base as nasty and hostile as the obey me fandom. yall absolutely crash out and throw the foulest, most outrageous temper tantrums at literally every single thing solmare ever does. yall refused to support the game in even the most minimal of ways, but at the same time yall CONSTANTLY demand more and more from the staff while screeching that every single feature should be spoonfed to you for free

every single new nightmare and nightmare revival, yall would start screaming and pissing yourselves and harassing the official obey me twitter accounts, calling solmare "greedy" and "scammers" for DARING to have gacha in their gacha game

yall lose your shit and started sending the employees death threats over the date ticket feature, a completely optional item bundle in the shop that you could literally ignore if you didnt want to buy it

yall rage the fuck out at microtransactions existing in a FREE GAME and took your anger out on the employees, then immediately turned around and demanded more content that you refused to pay for. acting like supporting the game was beneath you

yall never lifted a damn finger to support this game. yall never spent a fucking penny to support obey me and help keep it alive. yall lost your minds and attacked the studio time and time and time again when even the OPTION to support them monetarily existed. yall had a public meltdown and lost your minds you were so fucking offended that a free game would have the audacity to have optional purchases available.

yall refused to EVER support them, and now yall are acting upset that the game is forced to stop updating because they dont have the player support to stay alive?

yall should be fucking embarrassed of yourselves

god i wish sentinels of the multiverse was more popular

You know what I love about aftg the most? English is my second language, so when I read it goes like this:

Omg, I understand every word, how coo—

And then Andrew Minyard opens his mouth

Like guy talks exclusively with B2.5-C1+ vocabulary or whatever sounds gayer, I guess…

Sometimes I think Dan and Phil are totally platonic besties and then other times I’m convinced they fuck on the daily. I think they do it on purpose and it’s honestly iconic.

kind of the best thing is that they are that and everything in between. you can tell they just like being around each other. they've made content together for 15 years and the large majority of it was done in the strictly platonic sense for their audience. and they were still having so much fun with it. we're in the 'we know you know' era now so we get to see flashes of different dynamics they have, but they absolutely have more we Don't get to see bc they're not for us.

they like each other. stupidly fond of each other. spending time together doesn't feel exhausting. they're best friends and each others' harshest critics while being the biggest hypeman and also safe space.

dnp's relationship with us, their audience, always has been and always will be different than any other content creators. part of it is how they accumulated it, but another part is just the massive history we have with them. they Get us. they Know us. they're silly goofy sarcastic guys who love us and hate us sometimes. theyre grateful but careful too. they like to rile us up, just like they do each other. it's a love language, teasing, and we've shown positive responses to it over the years. i like to say that my relationship with dnp is antagonistic sometimes--cause i know they're pushing my buttons on purpose. and ykw? it's fun! it's fun for us and it's fun for them because they have the control. i know anything they let out is cause they chose to let it out because they Know how we are. so yes they absolutely adore messing with us. we're a funny bunch.
