#hype for the sequel

[lancerfay]

Holy carp the way I played Citizen Sleeper ended so impactfully

I basically chose every single route where I stayed behind, letting someone I was getting close to leave because there were more people I could and wanted to help on the station. I felt sad when I abandoned Lem and Mina on the ship dock, I most was torn over letting Bliss and Ankhita leave without me, but every time I was thinking I could still do more here, there was still someone that I could help. I also figured at least I'd have a place at the bar with Tala.

Then I got to the very end of the DLC stuff, where the station is evacuating and lo and behold everyone's insisting I should leave, that the only ones staying behind are either occupied with their own lives (like Feng, Sabine, and Rabiah) or were leaving themselves, like Tala.

I get pretty into the roleplaying sometimes in games like this where I get to make my own choices and dang did I have a Moment when I realized that my character was only living for other people and now that they're all going to be gone she would have chosen almost *anything* different.

I cried ngl.

In the 11th hour I chose to leave, I had insisted to Peake that I would stay the whole time, and betrayed them as I left, didn't even have someone with me, just gone and alone again. Had I known I absolutely would have gone sooner.

Roleplaying situation aside...

I feel a lot of what I felt about the people and situations in The Eye to be really well mapped to a lot of larger cities people move to for work, which is absolutely in line with the game's tagline because places like here in Seattle are 100% like this. Most people feel like it's just where they are for now "until their luck turns around", "until I pay off my debt", "Until I get a new job somewhere else". The people from here can't stay because what it is has been slowly crawling towards inhospitable, and it's future is constantly directed by the whims of outside forces that only want to exploit it.

I see parallels, too, in people I've met and characters in game, if you strip away the scifi trappings. I've met someone stuck with a kid they didn't have a say in raising but love nonetheless who wants nothing more than to leave to a new promised start because this one failed. Desperate that this time it'll work out. I've spent a brief time with a professional who's on the run from themselves, looking for an escape but finding themselves falling back into bad patterns, needing to give up everything of themselves to feel cleansed by it. I've definitely met folks that have some semblance of roots laid, and want to just gently fade away into the pocket they've secured, giving to others if they can, but ultimately alone.

Makes me personally reconsider my reasons for moving up here and into this city of transience and if I'll find what I'm looking for, and I think that's so cool that this game evoked that thought in me.

Don't think I've posted these yet, but a while ago I made some ieytd palettes, and I decided to clean them up a little in preparation for the third game, you know how it is

Use them if you'd like, share them around, all of that fun stuff. And if you make something cool um 😳🥺 I would love to see if you decided to tag me in it 👉👈 tee hee

anyway if yall want something greek-mythology inspired to read, please pick up Threads that Bind by Kika Hatzopoulou. It's a post-apocalyptic fantasy romance (soulmates!) with lots of queerness in it, inspired by various mythologies but centered around greek mythology, with a greek-coded protag & cultural elements strewn across, and written by an actual greek woman who lives in Greece. It's also the first book I see by a greek author to be written & published in English/abroad first, and to go semi-popular on western reading circles.

we need more like this. please support her.

Have you heard of the sequel of TSATS if so are you going to read it? For me personally I'm pretty sceptical due to the first TSATS book also I'm not really a fan of Solangelo 😅

Just found out about it now, and came online to write something, so I'll put it here.

Honestly I'm with you. I'm not the hugest solangelo fan myself, and TSATS didn't do much to change my mind, unfortunately. I also don't really know what else there is to write about, unless they're making it a prequel and just basically showing the actual development of their relationship before they got together (but they tried to expand on that in TSATS so idk if there's much point in going back and retroactively building it from the ground up now). Plus the book was meant to close off the open ends in Nico's arc, so what's really the point in making a second one now anyway? It just feels like a cash grab, or stirring up more Nico hype before his introduction in s3 of the show.

I think Mark was the one who announced this sequel, no? No offence to them, because I'm sure their style works well for their own books, but I don't think Mark's writing meshes well with Rick's at all, and I hated the way basically everyone was characterised. If it's just gonna be another slog of therapy-speak, pop culture references, and poor pacing and tension, then I don't think it's something I'll be too keen to read. I love Nico, and it's because of that that I am respectfully asking Rick to stop. If Rick wants to write more, I would rather he do something about Frank and Hazel at Camp Jupiter, or expand on Jason and Reyna's time there pre-HOO.

not my usual kinda post but like

HOLY SHIT WE'RE GETTING A SEQUEL

I've played Okami since I was thirteen (I'm twenty-four now). even before that I used to watch my older brother play it on the playstation.

Its been literal years and its still my favorite game of all time, and I'm not kidding. I used to spend hours all day playing it on the playstation. I 100% both the original, Okamiden, and HD. I'd spend hours just replaying it for days, even just wandering around the world and not actually doing anything specific. It got to the point where I had to delete saves because I kept running out of space. I might only have 48 hours on HD, but I have thousands of hours on the original, not even counting how long I might've taken on Okamiden. I even made an Amaterasu plushie before I even learned how to make plushies. (I used fabric markers and an arctic fox plush. it was surprisingly effective) Just. I am so hyped right now. I haven't drawn anything Okami in years BUT NOW I'M GONNA

Just. today is a good day. Not only am I getting the next episode of tADC but now I've also gotten to see one of my favorite games rise from the dead LMAO

I apologize to everyone that follows me for exploding, but holy shit words cannot describe how I'm feeling right now.
