Is the video game really subverting its genre? Are you sure it's not just doing clever things within its genre, because otherwise the game would be boring and unchallenging and say nothing interesting? I'm just saying, it's cool and all that the internet allows horror game fandoms to overflow into eachother, but not EVERY 2 hour video essay needs to be spent breathlessly sucking off the devs. Sometimes a game is just REGULAR difficult and REGULAR high-quality.

Besides RPGs made over a decade ago, what is the thing supposedly subverting? Clearly not other contemporary indie horror games, because there is clearly a convergent ethos forming of cosmic horror and beginners' traps; that's just what the genre looks like nowadays.

Your swsh art always makes me want to replay the game because i love it and its my favorite pokemon game and every time i play another pokemon game i think of it how i miss certain elements from swsh. Then i boot up the game and im once again caught in the 1 hour 40 minutes hand held intro and im like ah- now i remember why i have been playing other pokemon games instead of this one. Happy (late?) birthday!

you don't want to listen to hop? you don't want to hear him teach you about type matchups? you don't wanna let him cheer u on...? 🥺 waa....?

Another day, another drawing fat people tutorial that seems to think the only people who get fat are people with estrogen-based endocrine systems and resultant fat distribution.

@reversescale:

In the Human Comedy, yet a new update of the Simulated Universe, it was only a given that they should find some new batch of enemies and instances to face, but this seemed to be one of their odder encounters. In the confines of a classical theater, a single limelight shone upon a towering automaton suspended in a courtly bow, prepared to prance. It appeared stationary, gears and pistons of brass and copper glinting in the illumination. Caelus grinned confidently at him, but given its enormity, he somehow felt it wasn't the vote they needed. "Caelus, we should--" A menacing squeak of hinges interrupted him and the automata's head snapped in their direction, and Dan Heng's gaze flickered warily upwards. If they somehow survived this round, he'd consider it a miracle.

Caelus didn't understand why Dan Heng always had that worried shadow hanging over his face. It's not like the world was at stake this time! Really, he invited him for a round in here to-

"Relaaax," the vessel drawled, holding his hat loosely between two fingers, his other hand propped on his hip without a care in the world. Why would he, with one of his Astral Express crewmembers by his side? "We got this in the bag!"

And besides, today, this stage belonged to Caelus. With a theatrical twirl, he flung his hat into the air with a flourish, sending a spray of sparkling, dream-like projections crashing down onto the enemy's head.

Let the show begin!

Ok, nothing made me more furious than scrolling through the list of movies available on YouTube to look at their genres and seeing Puss In Boots: The Last Wish labeled “Animation”

It is FANTASY ADVENTURE you HEATHENS

ANIMATION IS NOT A GENRE

IT’S A MEDIUM

so ive been playing pathfinder: wrath of the righteous for a few hours now and so far the premise has not really hooked me. compared to dos2 and bg3, the premise feels like generic christian-flavored fantasy "demons destroyed the city and i am chosen by heaven to save it". the companions not having a lot of overworld dialogue also threw me off (like i lead into the party in a room full of disfigured corpses and medieval torture devices and there was no reaction or insight whatsoever

i want to make a hard sci-fi series where i spend 12 hours researching toilet patents and engineering before cross referencing it with current public information regarding actual space toilets in order to realistically incorporate proper space plumbing into the novel series i would make. to offset the sheer amount of research i would have to accomplish in order to write a novel, i would just make it so whenever someone fires a laser pew pew gun, it would just nuke the whole ship because it's easier to kill off a whole cast of characters halfway through the novel than to write a half-chapter of a dead-end physics lecture regarding said pew pew guns, it's just easier to make every laser weapon catastrophically fail and split the very quarks of hydrogen atoms before wrenching the fabric of reality off of its hinges before turning your sci-fi novel into a series of tragic flash-fiction
