Why the fuck are there roller skates, dubstep, stage lighting, an LED screen, and all kinds of modern technology in Xilonen's trailer??? I thought Fontaine had the most advanced technology next to Schneznaya and arguably Sumeru, and every instance of high-end technology we have seen leaned more towards machinations with gears, magic, alchemy, essentially fantasy styled sci-fi???

The disrespect towards Native American and African cultures is enough to piss me off already, but it even goes against Genshin's own consistency with its fantastical world design..and for what? Just so you can have this...pop and gamer aesthetic???

Just look at these two bubbly and optimistic characters for me okay

Yoimiya's design isn't the most respectful and accurate representation of a Japanese firework craftsman, but at least you can damn tell she is Japanese. The large ribbons, hair accessories, tassels, leg covering, tattoo design, shoe style, and fabric patterns all allude to this (I apologize for not knowing the exact terminologies for these, this needs further research).

Then there's Mualani who has...what? Please do correct me if I am wrong here, but her character must be inspired by the real Mualani, a Hawaiian Chiefess. Additionally, her tribe's specialty is in tourism and vacationing, which further leads into the idea that she and her tribe are based off of Hawaii despite the known issues regarding Hawaii and tourism (if there are any good sources that summarize the issue, please do lmk).

I am not too familiar with Hawaiian culture, but there really is nothing about her design that reads as Hawaiian, or even just traditional, to me. What about a 2 piece swimsuit with bows and tails, a bow + braids + ponytail hair style, combat gloves (?), and an entire neon shark, is Hawaiian???

The characters, their designs, and their trailers, are just so culturally disconnected from their real life counterpart that it's even disconnected to Genshin's own world building and design. How the fuck is the fashion trend in Natlan denim pants. I feel like the only parts of Natlan that feel like Genshin Impact and culturally inspired are the in-game music and landscapes (God bless Hoyo-mix and the world designers).

So abom dlc came out like yesterday and I dislike everything about the choices they made so to cope i made this (also for some reason preview quality is ass, click to see this thing in it's full cringy glory) (A lot of bitching in the tags also)

okay for anyone who's getting into rift of the necrodancer who may not really know anything about the original lore of the game, in crypt's DLC, Amplified, there's a character in it named nocturna

as far as characters go she's pretty sweet, a cutlass wielding vampire who can turn into a bat for extra evasive maneuvers?? literally what's not to love abt her? and better yet, as a human, she was brown

admittedly from looking at images of her as a vampire its kind of hard to tell. and i'll be honest, her transition from human to vampire could have been much better in my personal opinion. especially in reference to the hair texture. but like okay. the majority of the details are the same. in closer up images she still has freckles, her nose and head shape is similar, her eyes are the same color. she's blue, obviously, but there can still be a case made that she's brown, if you know what i'm saying here?

BUT WITH THAT IN MIND SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED WITH HER REDESIGN FOR RIFT??

THIS IS NOT FUCKING NOCTURNA?? like. inarguably the design SLAPS i'm not even arguing that she doesn't look good she's just like. WHITE now. i mean she's BLUE but she's WHITE.

they changed her head shape, they changed her NOSE shape (which really fucking gets me), they gave her BLUE eyes instead of green, and even desaturated her skin tone?? and while a case could be made for the old nocturna's hair still being somewhat similar to her human variant, that argument can not be made for this one. that hair has never been coiled in its fucking life. who the hell is this. that is NOT nocturna.

it's so sad because i'm 90% sure that lots of people forget that nocturna wasn't white as a human to begin with, and i feel like with all the characters getting massive, modern day design overhauls this would literally be a perfect low stakes opportunity to actually fix the design to... better portray a brown human who turned into a (still brown) vampire

but instead, they made it worse to a degree that i couldn't even COMPREHEND until i saw it for the first time??

[adahlenan]

But I'd rather not remind myself and leave it all behind And I've tried so hard to fix it all but nothing seems to help

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.

Everyone posts about how Stardew Valley is a cozy LGBT+ inclusive game but NO ONE mentions the lack of a platonic option for the bachelors/bachelorettes. Which would be good for aspec people and also just more pleasant for many casual players I believe but that's not even the point. I just want to become best friends with everyone and not only does that require me dating everyone at once and feeling like a sleazebag because of it (ik the bad cutscene can be avoided but I know in my heart they'd be hurt if they knew) BUT it also means the women flirt with me!!!!! Constantly!!!!!!! It makes me sick to my stomach. Truly ruining the characters I liked
