Wait a minute. That scene between Jod and KB?

KB: It's unlikely you're telling the truth about being a Jedi. Jod: You don't trust me. KB: I calculated the odds. Jod: Not everything in the galaxy can be calculated...sometimes you have to trust your gut.

Either I'm seeing something that wasn't there or

This is a legit possibility here.

Was Jod perhaps the teeniest, tiniest bit stung or a disappointed or whatever, feeling even the most infinitesimal degree of hurt over the fact that she does not trust him? Or am I projecting that? Also, maybe hyper-detailed observing here but when he enters the scene, his arms are at his sides. But when he makes that last remark, he crosses them over his chest. Makes me wonder if that's not actually a defensive posture.

I know nothing of body language but I've heard that crossing your arms is something of a defensive posture.

I mean I heard a sort of change in Jude's voice when he delivered the last line, and he didn't look so much angry as a sad sort of resignation. But idk, that's just me.

i wonder why so many people just outright refuse to kill zam . like, they have no problem killing the other spawn players but for some reason zam is an exception?

for example, both hannah and kab have said one of the few people they refuse to hurt/kill is zam despite not really having a reason not to? kab i know has some kind of attachment to zam because of the time they spent together when she was a "pacifist" but hannah... doesn't?? as far as i'm aware at least

Chapter 60 Follow-Up Thoughts

I don't know if I even want to tag this, I just have a lot of things percolating around after a few days to think things through a little more.

One, I kind of had a mental boom last week and that made everything seem worse than it was. So I wasn't nearly as objective or as thorough as I could have been. Chapter 60 was the first "dud" we've had in my opinion, which is incredible for a new author's first serialization. This could just be an unfortunate dip that gets forgotten about as the quality goes back to it's usual excellence.

Two, there were a lot of details that I overlooked because I was so fixated on not getting the break I thought we needed and being pissed that we skimmed through a lot of potent emotional points to get back into the action. I missed ranting about Chihiro fucking DYING and rolling out a few days like it's NBD even though I hate that sort of decision! Plus all the questions raised about his death in relation to Enten's contract and Hakuri's storehouse powers.

Three, Hakuri... I went a bit overboard by throwing a bitchfit about him being treated like Hinao. Nah, I definitely overreacted. He's not going anywhere even though he's probably going to be absent for the next few chapters. It's disappointing to be told rather than shown his status, but that wasn't good cause to fly off the handle and rant in a public post. Chihiro and Shiba didn't get nearly enough time together either. Neither did Chihiro by himself. They were all shafted in the name of having the hype (literal) suit-up moment by the end of the chapter.

I'm still anxious about him and where his development will go, though. If he lost access to his sorcery, does the storehouse and the tools within it still exist? If not, I'll have some strong worries about his character development going forward. And I'll have to dust off the clown suit after writing that massive essay about the tools being visual metaphors for the trauma he keeps buried in his heart. I trust this author to keep writing Hakuri's recovery in a sensitive, realistic way... for now. But I'm more open to the prospect that I was giving the author too much credit than I was before.

Four, I could be a little too worried about a dip in quality in this particular series for petty personal reasons. I just worry that the author's priorities and mine might not line up in the future.

I love Kagurabachi for the action like most people do- it's got stellar artwork that feels like I'm looking at movie stills rather than hand-drawn pictures. But the action only works for me if there's ample time spent to set up the emotional weight behind the fights. If we are going to skim over those emotions in favour of the "cool" moments then I'm going to lose interest.

I genuinely struggle through a lot of shounen when they ask us to sit tight for 5+ chapters of characters punching each other and yelling generic fight dialogue. Kagurabachi's biggest strength was not doing this by keeping the fights snappy yet epic, providing a good balance between action and character/plot progression. The fights can be a little longer now that the series has found success. I just don't want that to come at the expense of character building moments outside of combat.

Five, at the risk of sounding like a whiny critic... I wonder if the author's aware that he needs to maintain the bonds between the characters during downtime.

Hokazono-sensei's done an amazing job with every single character introduction. We get the gist of who the new guys are and why we should like them right away even if there are multiple layers to peel back to get the full picture. Every new character interaction sticks in the mind clearly- Hiyuki's aggressiveness, Uruha's clashing weirdness and badassery, etc. But the connections the characters have to each other -the emotional bonds that define their relationships- need to be maintained as the story goes on. Else we are just seeing cool people do cool things together for the sake of being cool.

Action movies thrive on this sort of writing where the characters are set up then set loose without much to think about in terms of how they all relate to each other. For example, the story will make it obvious that two characters fell in love by doing a simple meet -> come to know/respect -> kiss development with as little time devoted to it as possible because it's not important to show all the intricacies of how the relationship develops. The action scenes of them running through a hail of bullets or jumping out of moving vehicles are what butts are sitting in seats for, after all.

But a long-running manga series has more time than a 90-minute film to put those details in- especially with how efficiently Hokazono-sensei tells his stories. So I think that's why I was so jarred by seeing him skip over details that I would have expected to be expanded on a little more in the moment like they were in the Sojo and Rakuzaichi arcs. It's like we veered too hard into action movie territory after having a lovely balance between movie and manga storytelling techniques until this point.

My preference as a reader would be having more of that efficient bonding back- scenes like the gang being driven around in Shiba's car in chapter 26, Chihiro waking up and having some panels to almost freak out before Shiba & Azami walk in during chapter 11, and definitely more like chapter 46. We still got a lot of plot stuff done in those chapters but the tension was dropped and we got to see the characters do a little more than just set up the next major story beat.

And the plot dumps worked because we were at a sweet spot in the story where a little more tension was still welcome: ch. 11 we were still ramping up towards the first major conflict, so it was like a shaky breath before squaring one's shoulders. Ch. 26, a major setback seemed to have happened and we needed to take a tense breath to steady the nerves before planning in earnest. Ch. 46, we finally got to exhale a long breath after the end of the Rakuzaichi arc... not fully, but much better than nothing.

We need to see these characters in more contexts like that to stay attached to them. Or at least I do. I think we need less coasting on the initial impressions and flashbacks to do quick establishment going forward. More in-the-moment personal interactions between the whole cast would be very welcome. It doesn't have to go full-on manga and have talking heads yap meaningfully at each other behind dialogue boxes! Just more things that show the characters care about each other; how they're thinking and feeling in the here and now.

When's the last time we got in Chihiro's head for anything other than a strictly plot-related line of thought, hmm? Especially about someone else instead of his own circumstances! We see him reacting to others in small panels all the time which is a very welcome touch. But I'd like to spend more time with him outside of strictly necessary story insights to hear what he's feeling about his general situation and the people involved in his life. I can't believe I'm saying this, but: TELL ME MORE THINGS ABOUT HIS FEELINGS DIRECTLY!

Six, I think the pacing issues stem from the incomplete catharsis of chapter 46. Ch. 46 was absolutely great with Shiba "creaming" Hiyuki and Tafuku all night playing video games, but it wasn't quite the full reset we needed. So by Chapter 60 it feels like we're running on fumes yet we can only pause for a few gasps before pelting ahead again.

In chapter 60, the atmosphere was heavy at the start. Not tense, heavy. It was a very different kind of breaking point for tension than the prior ones I've referenced- there's a lot of emotional weight that's on Chihiro's shoulders that wasn't there before. We've still got all the baggage from early in the series hanging around and a bunch more just got heaped on with Samura's murderous betrayal and distressing lore implications. We needed a break from action-related information to catch up with how everyone's doing in more depth. A deep, steadying breath to clear the mind and fortify resolve.

This chapter needed to be something closer to a somber, extended version of chapter 46. Chihiro waking up, thinking to himself for another page and a half or so, then Shiba coming in and explaining a few things. And going into more detail about the people involved- give us a little more tension between Shiba's guilt over steering Chihiro wrong vs. wanting to help him, for example. Go a little more in-depth on what Hakuri's going through offscreen right now. Show Chihiro's cuts healing before setting out. A few shots of him and Hakuri physically recovering but still definitely not being okay while Shiba watches over them. Anything about the people we're reading this story for!

Seven, we are starting to enter edging hell with all the unresolved plot threads and little mysteries.

I haven't finished it yet, but I've been making a spreadsheet to track all the questions raised by the story since chapter 1 and we've still got a lot of things left unanswered. I'm only on my first pass of chapters 1-25 and there are 83 items on the sheet and many minor ones are still hanging around to clutter things up. Obviously many open questions like "who founded the Kamunabi and why" and "why was Shiba late to the Rokuhira's" are tied to the Seitei War and Hishaku reveals that we've been teased with for a long time now. They're huge to the story and the answers shouldn't be rushed just to get us to shut up. But there are also things like "what is Azami's sorcery" lingering since chapter 7 when there's no point to keep stringing us along except for the sadistic thrill of it, you know? Over-stimulation is a thing, you know!

There's a lot of cleaning up to do, but there's also still so much more to add...

I'm a huge fan of edging and orgasm delay/denial kink but this is a bit much even for me. I want to see some of these smaller questions get answered before we get more foisted upon us. Give us some more breathing room in the narrative before the next set of questions, okay? It'll help with the pacing if we're not asking so many questions about little things that were introduced arcs ago.

Eight, I think I'm just genuinely burning out. I wish I could stay obsessed with things for more than a few months at a time... it's so strange to be incredibly passionate then flip off like a switch. This series still gnaws at my brain though, and I hate to leave things I love even if it was only for a short while, so I don't know what to do. I want to try and make it work so that I can keep a comfortable level of engagement despite my stupid tendency to be all-or-nothing at least.

I love Kagurabachi and I want to keep doing in-depth stuff with it but part of the crash last week was realizing it got subsumed into my anxiety disorder, so... I don't know. I genuinely don't know. Anyone got a brain that doesn't turn all-consuming passions into anxiety triggers...?

This kind of got away from me, but I think that's all the complicated feels out there and accounted for.

Ancient Craft & Occultism

Introduction to Self Awareness

___

By KB

Introduction

Welcome back to class everyone! Now that we covered the basics of grounding, centering, and meditation, let's get to another very important part in getting in touch with your personal energy. Can you name the principles and goals that direct your day-to-day actions? Your advantages and disadvantages under diverse conditions? or the potential effects your attitudes and actions may have on those around you? If your response was "Not really," you might want to think about improving your level of self-awareness. According to research, doing so may increase your self-assurance, contentment, and even sense of control over your life, which is also a very important part in energy manipulation.

What Is Self-Awareness?

Self-awareness is the capacity to perceive oneself as the focus of attention or consciousness, according to psychology. The how and why of one's own psychological complexity are continuously being questioned by one's metaphysical consciousness, a kind of silent debate that is propelled by a psychological force that has long been referred to as spirit, the human spirit.

The word "meta" means "beyond" or "after," which introduces the idea of the mind as well as consciousness and the associated thoughts, feelings, and speculations. The powers of spirit, which are acting on the initiative of a soul, no less, are served by all of these examples of an intuitive range of consciousness that is considered to be inspirational. The outwardly oriented rational and sensory brain as well as the internally directed intuitive and spiritual brain have thus been recognized as the two components of human consciousness across time. They form the mental alliance known as the mind when combined.

You are engaging in self-awareness when you take a close look at yourself and are able to identify and connect emotions, fundamental beliefs, thoughts, and traits — including shortcomings and strengths — within yourself. But what self-awareness means will vary from person to person.

An aspect of self-awareness can be feeling self-conscious. You become conscious of yourself when you concentrate on and pinpoint aspects of your inner self, such as your beliefs, values, or purpose. On the other hand, developing self-awareness will lead to greater self-knowledge. Early in life, when you first become aware of your uniqueness and separation from your surroundings, your sense of self begins to take shape. With age, that sense of self tends to include an internal understanding of what makes you "you" — your preferences, ideals, interests, and goals. And even while you might think you know who you are completely, this may not always be the case.

Benefits of Self-Awareness

Finding out what we truly want from this priceless life is possible for each of us when we are self-aware and regularly engage in contemplation and introspection. We are all prone to outside pressure and individual prejudice. Self-awareness makes us more vulnerable than when we have it.

More Empathy & Compassion

One of the main advantages of self-awareness is that it makes us more empathetic toward others. You can create better relationships when you have the ability to empathize more. We all have the urge to be understood and the need to have our feelings supported. When we are offended, we frequently need this the most before we can listen to another viewpoint or a more reasonable explanation.

Improve Listening

There is an increasing shortage of people who can actively listen. The good news is that it leaves a nice impression once you begin to practice active listening. This serves as a fantastic example of the value of self-awareness because it enables you to develop genuine relationships. Better listening abilities are both a sign of self-awareness and a perk.

Critical Thinking Skills

You need to think and reflect honestly on yourself and your behaviors if you want to start becoming more self-aware. To form an unbiased opinion, you must perform a lot of analysis and dissociate yourself from your feelings. Your critical thinking abilities will increase as a result of all these exercises, which you can use in a variety of different contexts.

Better Self Control

Being able to name your feelings while avoiding automatic reaction to them is another aspect of increasing self-awareness. It requires you to develop a sense of distance from them. Being able to reason past your immediate feelings results from this. As a result, you can exercise greater restraint when you're angry and respond as opposed to reacting.

Improve Self Esteem

It comes naturally from the confidence that self-awareness fosters. You become aware of your talents and limitations as well as yourself. You don't undersell yourself, but you also don't oversell yourself. It strikes a wonderful balance. You develop a growth attitude and understand that setbacks are but stepping stones on the road to achievement. This enables you to have a tremendous degree of perseverance and self-confidence. As a result, you also feel better about yourself.

Self Awareness Exercises

Self-awareness exercises and activities are tools that can help you not only achieve your goals but also learn more about who you really are and what you want from life. You will learn more about what is underlying as you continue to "peel the onion." Self-improvement and self-awareness go hand in hand. Understanding your needs, wants, and desires as well as your talents and limitations can be aided by growing in self-awareness. Self-awareness is a crucial success skill as well. These inward mental processes control your behavior and actions. You start discovering those negative thought patterns and bad habits as your self-awareness grows.

Writing Exercises

Journaling

Perhaps one of the most frequently suggested self-awareness exercises is journaling. Writing about our lives enables us to become aware of our triggers, emotions, and priorities. Since we learn the most when we reflect, this is true. You can investigate self-discovery questions to increase self-awareness. Writing your feelings down will help you recognize and control them better. Keeping a journal will not only help you develop your emotional intelligence. It has also been demonstrated to lower stress levels, improve mood, and improve memory. Remember that there are proper and improper ways to journal. Make sure you're not just writing in your journal to complain or dwell on issues. Additionally, it's essential that you journal sparingly. Take a break from your notebook every now and again to give your inquisitive mind a rest.

Write Yourself a Letter

Writing without a particular audience in mind might be challenging for some people. Sadly, most of us don't have many folks who can be our "Dear _." Writing a letter to oneself is a straightforward fix. Whichever version of yourself you wish to address it to is your choice. Do you wish to offer your former self advice? You as a youngster? Maybe it's simpler to compose a letter to your future self. Who do you aspire to be? You don't need to practice self-awareness exercises like this one very frequently. However, if you do it, you might be pleasantly surprised by the knowledge you learn.

Write Your Own Eulogy

Although it may seem morbid, it can actually be very illuminating for you. Internal and exterior self-awareness are the two subcategories of self-awareness. The focus of external self-awareness is how you are perceived by others. You might think about how you want other people to see you by creating your own eulogy. What do you hope people will remember you for? What type of persona do you wish to project? What do you hope to leave behind? You can be as silly as you want when writing. The essential objective is to think about the type of person you want to be recognized as.

Self Awareness Tests

Inner Self - VAK Model

The VAK model, a well-known example of neuro-linguistic programming, proposes that seeing, hearing, and feeling are the internal means by which humans process information. Our processing is also redundant. In other words, when we view an internal image, it triggers sentiments about it as well as either sounds that are associated with it or our own inner commentary. Together, hearing, seeing, and feeling are used.

VAK Model Quiz

Personal Paradigm

A worldview is a personal paradigm. It provides explanations for the origin of life and our purpose for existing. The universe was created by a God. A God does not exist. People are generally good and want to support one another. Humans are animals with a desire to survive. ... and so on.

Personal Paradigm Quiz

Personal Beliefs - Negative & Positive

Personal convictions are viewpoints on what is true (to you). You'll concentrate on your internal views about who you are and what you're capable of in the self-awareness test.

Personal Beliefs Quiz

Life Values

Your personal life values show what is significant to you. When a value successfully influences your decisions, you can be confident that it is significant to you (or congruent). Therefore, if your health matters to you, you will make healthy decisions. If achieving success is vital to you, you will act and behave in ways that promote success.

Life Values Quiz

Inner Conflict

The human condition includes internal struggle. It occurs when your beliefs are at odds with one another. For instance, you might think you can excel in life. At the same time, you might be unsure about your skills. This indicates internal turmoil. You could also hold opposing values. Security may be important to you because it makes you feel secure. You might cherish freedom yet at the same time. These two values could cause competing wants and challenging choices.

Conflict Quiz

Stress & Triggers

There are certain things in the outside world known as triggers that instantly send you into a bad mood. An illustration of this is when someone runs their fingernails across a blackboard. You might grimace at this right away. There is usually a trigger when you find yourself in a negative frame of mind. something that made you react in a certain way. For instance, a specific speech tone or object (such as soiled socks on the floor) may set you off.

Stress & Triggers Quiz

Strengths Test

As important as it is to identify the things that need to be healed and worked on, it's also important to be able to identify your strengths and what you're good at. This helps you focus your energy onto the right things which will ultimately lead to a boost of self confidence.

Daily Habits to Gain Self Awareness

Body Connection

There is a far stronger link between the mind and body than most of us realize. Nevertheless, we frequently forget about our bodies when considering self-awareness activities. Our physical bodies are the foundation of our thoughts, emotions, and vice versa. This dates all the way back to when humans had to have the two in harmony in order to survive. Making it a practice to frequently "body check" yourself will help you become more self-aware. (And no, I'm not talking about a physical examination like you get in your doctor's office). You only need to pause for a moment to notice how your body is feeling. You'll be able to recognize what you require to be happy the sooner you learn to listen to your physique.

Daily Reflection

We occasionally associate reflection with large-scale, complicated activity. The modest habit of introspection is quite simple to include into your daily routine. Attaching a new habit to an existing one is the most effective strategy for doing so. Think about your everyday activities and the best places to pause and contemplate. Maybe it happens as you're making your way home from work, enjoying dinner with your significant other, or brushing your teeth before bed. Utilize this constant to monitor your feelings and consider the day. What succeeded? Exactly what went wrong? What part did your behavior play in it? What feelings did you have today? Setting up a schedule for a daily check-in can enable you to identify patterns that you would not have otherwise. Additionally, it will help you develop the habit of daily recognizing and labeling your feelings.

Three Why's

Self-awareness exercises sometimes appear time-consuming and difficult, but they don't have to be. Asking the "three whys" is a practice you can adopt into your daily life. Ask yourself "Why?" three times if you are debating a choice or feeling a certain way. At first, the questions could appear annoyingly repetitive. But if you persevere, you'll be astonished by the truth you uncover. We much too frequently only have a surface-level self-awareness. Let's assume, for illustration, that I choose to go for a run after work. I wish to run for what reason? because I'm anxious. Yes, but why do I feel anxious? I have a lot to do at work. Why do I work so hard at my job? Because of the impending deadlines and my perception that my coworkers aren't supporting me in my efforts. That's it. I can now move on to the deeper realities of the situation and begin making measures to help improve my situation. Don't ignore the advantages the "three whys" can provide for you.

Ask What?

It can seem incongruous to suggest asking "what" inquiries immediately after being instructed to ask the "three whys." But there is a time and place for each, and knowing the difference is crucial. We frequently adopt a blaming attitude, especially when we're feeling down. We become overcome by our emotions and go from a problem-solving to a "woe is me" frame of mind. We ponder issues such as "Why is this happening to me?" While entertaining in late-night philosophical discussions at the bar, these "why" inquiries don't prepare you for self-awareness in your own life. You can come closer to the realities you're seeking about your own life by asking "what" questions. Rather than, "Why am I unhappy?" You can inquire, "What is the root of my unhappiness?" You've suddenly expanded your window of opportunity for finding conclusive solutions. Try to be conscious of the language you use and the perspective you're telling stories from as you go about your day.

LUGAS AND RELEVANCY

the three relevant nekolugas, in order:

all three of these have a shot of getting a full review later on so this is just gonna be a quick run through

-lufalan pasalan at level 50 is a 720 range single target nuker with 20% chance to crit. it has 197100 damage per hit and 24233.61 dps. despite the obvious issues with its single target, it can work much better in later game in stages with less/no peons, stages where the peons can be easily cleared (with wavers/surgers), or metal stages where you can clear any metal peons with catyphoon and catasaurus. health is irrelevant; it's a luga, if it gets hit it dies. with talents, its crit chance increases to 30%, it gets surge resist and weaken immune for some unknown reason, and its dph and dps increase to 236520 and 29080.33 respectively. very strong unit, especially in lategame. can be described as a sort of ranged balrog. easily the best uber in the set.

-piccolan pasalan (level 30 because stats are irrelevant, it has 28.9 dps at level 60+70, no that's not a typo) is a 940 range area attack three second freeze + six second weaken to all traits + traitless with 16.43 tba (time between attacks). while this does give it a low uptime, the long freeze allows your units to get in and hit hard while they can. if enemies still manage to push, that just means that piccolan will be able to aoe freeze more of the field, making their push slower. no talents as of right now, but still a very solid CC unit.

-assassinlan pasalan is effectively cyberpunk without the blindspot. while its 1250 range without LD sounds broken in concept, its cooldown is much higher, it lacks the pierce that cyber's LD gives it, its tba is higher, and it cannot be stacked in the same way cyberpunk can because it will always hit the peons you would use to stack cyberpunk. however, its standing range is higher, its lack of a blindspot means if it gets pushed it can still slow, and through talents it gains the same slow time and 100% survive as talented cyberpunk. very strong and can be used alongside cyberpunk.

the rest of the set kinda sucks lol

legeluga's arguably the worst legend rare now that babel has a true form, nekoluga was the first uber rare added to the game but is just a generic backliner with knockback + freeze and tba is too long to do much, kubilan is just really weird, second form is high foreswing KB wave but not high enough range and kinda just dies sometimes, third form is too low damage to be an effective crit wave, shishilan...honestly not that good anymore, we just have better generalists and it lacks anything specific outside of wave immune which we have a ton of better units for at this point, nobiluga is shockingly irrelevant that mf got NO damage, papaluga is a meme (if you want me to actually talk about this thing just say the word), furiluga dies to anything and it's fully irrelevant once you get aku researcher, and kaoluga is weirdly...half decent? has solid damage with minisurge and great range? minisurge can hit backliners? 20% chance for knockback makes an occasional wall of permaKB? this one's actually solid ngl can't wait for true form but it's still unreliable as minisurge spawns between 150 and 1050 and its 3k dps isn't that great, there are better ubers

this set is a great example of how fucking hard things fall off in this game. duelist didn't just die when courier got added, it got murdered. most lugas died once better, more specialized, more niche units started being meta instead of the generalist CC or DPS units they tend to be. there are still three good and two half decent (shishi/kao) lugas but this set honestly sucks and you shouldn't be rolling this shit unless you really really really want luffy or smthn cuz you're gonna get nobiluga

tl;dr: three good lugas, two half decent ones, six shit ones, roll almighties or ultra souls or smthn

[theyoshimister]

Kirby and Meta Knight still have their awesome Star-ship/car in KB? Too bad that, being a single seater, the only other passenger can be someone small like that a$$crack of Tokkori.

Yes, they do. And, as a bonus, Tokkori doesn't exist in Kirbooby. :)

[less-than-three-3]

played metroid prime just like everyone else on the planet, apparently

it was ok (for a metroid game) (that means it is still pretty damn good)

But I can’t lie, given the reputation this game has, I was somewhat disappointed. For transparency, I did play it m+kb on my microsoft wii, though if I had shelled out the price for the remaster I doubt my experience would have been much different lol. Explanation below, with spoilers?

I’ll start with what it does well though, and that’s being Super Metroid but in 3d. In terms of exploration, how the world is presented, how you progress, etc. was translated to 3d pretty perfectly. Having pretty much no guidance and a full map, but still having one or maybe two actual correct ways that, if you just keep going forward or think about what you’ve seen before, you can find really easily. Honestly, in many ways, it just kinda feels like a really really big zelda dungeon. Or maybe zelda is a mini metroidvania. You decide! You can really see the bones of this game in so many modern metroidvanias. There’s not even really things you need to shoot a million times because of scan visor! 

And yeah, the scan visor is really cool. Being able to just scan to find out how to approach enemies, or how (or when) to get past obstacles, or learn stuff about the world is pretty neato. The other visors, though, were... ok, I guess. They aren’t interesting to use or anything, just *necessary to see certain enemies*, which I guess is fine just not nearly as interesting as scan visor. (They are also sort of an eyesore, and I imagine the remaster does improve on that)

Speaking of needing a thing to beat certain enemies, I just really hate the space pirates and drones and metroids that have a certain element that they can be hit by. This might just be some bias but I feel like they just take way too long to kill compared to their 2d counterparts, and being forced to use, say, ice beam (which shoots slow as hell) is just a slog. It kinda leads into my first major gripe, being that the combat feels like it takes a little too much of a spotlight for how... admittedly boring it can be. And this is with m+kb controls making aiming a lot better. I don’t really know if it’s actually just later enemies having too much health but the shooting doesn’t feel *that* fun or fluid, like in the 2d games, or out of the way, like in ori 1. Like if it was just a minor thing you just don’t have to think about I wouldn’t complain, but since fights take so long I can’t help but just be a little underwhelmed. 

It is definitely exacerbated by my second gripe, which is just that enemies, and especially bosses, are not that interesting? Like they have 1 or 2 attack patterns that you can recognize and dodge, and then you have your turn and you shoot them in the weak spot or with the weak element, rinse and repeat for however long. I think I can give it a little bit of a pass for how old the game is, but I just didn’t really feel that engaged by the bosses. Maybe that’s just a boss design thing and not the combat? I don’t know. Something in there just felt underwhelming.

One last thing to complain about, I promise, but I felt pretty much the entire last “act” was kind of... eh? I didn’t really care for the artifact hunt, it felt a little annoying (especially having to go through the space pirate research base again...). And then the back to back to back of Meta Ridley, Metroid Prime, then Metroid Prime again just really made a point of showing me the totally awesome boss fight design. Especially the final Metroid Prime form which I thought would be like Dark Beast Ganon like oh cool I super zap it to deal a ton of damage.... and then it dealt like maybe 1/10 of its health bar. And then it started summoning more metroids, some of which were the annoying ones. So it was just a really really... fun.... “I have my turn (for a full minute) and then you have yours (for 10 seconds)”. And to then top it all off, I don’t even get an evacuation sequence?? :/

This one’s a more minor, personal issue, and that’s just that I really don’t care to read so much lore. Environmental storytelling and worldbuilding, and ambient mood setting are things that I think Super Metroid perfected and nothing has really met, and that’s something I still believe even having played Prime. If you want to deliver story beats/developments/realizations in a game like this, you show don’t tell. I’m not delivering like a crazy revelation here, any writer knows this lol. But like, for example, to show that, say, the space pirates experimentations of phazon with metroids, instead of a bunch of space pirate data logs to read, there could have been like, idk, some metroid encounters or you see a metroid escape that looks unstable and oozing with phazon. And the chozo artifacts could definitely have been better tied to the phazon stuff too. It’s why I’ve always really enjoyed Fusion and Dread, even if they are departures from the way things are presented in Super, because they actually commit to narrative telling. Maybe I’m off base here, idk, but I just really wish there were less lore tablets and more intuitive things or like even straight up character interactions to show me what’s going on. I hope Silksong improves on that, but I doubt it. Wait what game are we talking about again?

Ok but enough negativity, I really enjoyed everything up to then. Like I said the actual metroidvania parts of it were really excellent. As good as Super Metroid? Not quite, but I do consider that pretty much peak metroidvania performance, so that’s a very high bar. It emulates it super well, and I was definitely really enjoying the full loop of unlocking and going further into the planet. The music too, was really good -- but again Super Metroid’s soundtrack is simply a masterpiece that I think even the 3DS and Switch’s adaptations/remasters of the same tracks don’t hit the same. 

All in all I think that’s pretty much a really good way to put it. It adapts Super Metroid’s strengths very well, but not quite to the extent of it, and some things do just get lost in the transition to 2D and 3D, I guess. It’s different from Fusion and Dread because those games are unabashedly more straightforward experiences, while still maintaining pretty much all the Metroid backbone and blood. It’s trying the same thing, but in a different form. I can respect it, but it’s definitely not my favorite. Which is a high bar! For reference I still end up rating this game pretty much a 9/10 - which may seem odd given all I’ve said, but I think for the most part this really hits the mark, and Metroid has just a really super good backbone, there’s just some.. growing pains? idk. I’ll definitely play the rest of the trilogy. I did see Dark Samus escape from metroid prime so... I think the next 2 games will definitely up the ante. Or maybe they won’t. We’ll see.

idk if you care about this or not, but user capicola323427, who you've recently reblogged from, supports child/adult shipping (with mk/kb and ddd/kb). they've also drawn nsfw of children (ribbon, to give an example.)

Thank you for the heads up. I don't follow them and haven't seen them post any nsfw of minors. I had a look through their blog and it seems they interpret and write Kirby as an adult (in line with how he is often depicted in the manga/Japanese fandom), but I understand why people who see him as a child (me included) are very uncomfortable with these ships. Personally I have no intention or desire of shipping Kirby romantically with anyone. (Least of all with adults.)

That being said, I don't appreciate people sending anonymous messages guilting me to either virtue signal to cover my ass or else seem callous towards the sexualisation and exploitation of (characters perceived as) children, just because I happened to reblog some Meta Knight expression sheet Tumblr recommended to me without first combing through their blog. (That's the only thing of them I have reblogged, as far as I'm aware.) If I saw someone repeatedly being weird about kids/ship something I don't like, I would simply block and avoid them/the tag. If they did something illegal I would report them. And if you have a problem/misunderstanding with me? Speak to me honestly so we can clear it up.

Thank you.

Hades: everyone and their mother told me to play this game (and they were right)

Main campaign date: 2023/11/30-12/12 Total playtime (Steam): 100.2 hours (and counting)

Been a while since I've finished a video game. I've been in more of a fiber crafting mood than a video gaming mood recently (still not done with FF6... lmao), but I spent the last month of 2023 being obsessed with Hades. (So much so that I barely logged in to FF14, and only then to raid log!) I don't think I can say much that hasn't already been said about this game, but I'll try to sum up my thoughts regardless.

Spoilers below.

This was my second roguelite; my first was Slay the Spire. (Since I've started with the "greatest hits" of the genre, I have a small worry that my future expectations will be skewed as a whole.) All facets of the game—from the combat, to the decision making for builds, to the overarching story—are enjoyable, and the game incentivizes the player to try new things in each of those areas. Each run, one of the weapons will grant bonus darkness and gemstones (meta currencies for making the player character stronger). Additionally, the "fated list of minor prophecies" incentivizes trying out every single boon at least once in exchange for meta currency rewards.

gameplay

Fairly intuitive control mapping on kb/m; could consider remapping special though (I press both Q and W with my 4th finger).

I'm bad at action video games in general (poor reaction times, tend to eat shit to boss mechanics even after understanding them), but I do enjoy the feeling of progression as I learn mob / boss movement patterns and attack rotations. I don't have to progress quickly, as long as I'm able to come up with a slightly better build, or see a new boss phase each time around.

The dash is quite generous with iframes (even without the Athena boon). As long as one doesn't attack while dashing, safety is guaranteed. It took me quite a few runs, but I finally understood this when fighting Hades with the fist weapons; without dashing through his spin attacks, uptime is quite limited. I was able to clear for the first time shortly after that (~20 hours of gameplay).

Screenshots from my first clear, when I realized that I could simply block all of Hades' attacks with the shield.

As I've been increasing heat, most of my runs have been using the rail (mostly Hestia, Eris aspects). I've had the fortune of seeing the cluster bomb + rocket bomb hammers ("clocket" build) a few times, but it doesn't show up consistently enough for me to use it as a crutch. My personal best is 25 heat; my main issue is reacting to FO2 (44% movement speed increase). I would like to eventually do 32 heat for Skelly's final statue, though!

I don't think there's anything I explicitly disliked, beyond the satyr mobs in Styx. They apply a heavy dot that needs to be cleansed by touching pools in difficult-to-reach / dangerous locations on the map. (For lower DPS builds, I had to weigh cleansing the dot vs trying to clear the room.)

meta progression/story

The player character is Zagreus, the son of Hades, who is attempting to escape the Underworld and reunite with his mother. Each attempt, he receives help from the Olympian gods in the form of boons (that modify the attack/special/cast/dash/call of his build); some friendly residents of the different biomes (Sisyphus, Eurydice, Patroclus); as well as Charon (in exchange for obols Zag picks up along the way).

I enjoyed the writers' sense of humor when it came to the characters and their interactions. I'm impressed by the amount of new (voiced!) dialogue I hear when I talk to each god, even after many runs. Shoutout to everyone's favorite tsundere (Thanatos), who warms up to Zag through the course of their interactions.

Getting to advance the story and receiving more permanent upgrades definitely made coming back to the House after a wipe more bearable (and also primed the desire to go again). Hypnos' contextual comments on cause of death were amusing, and seeing Meg and/or Thanatos was always a treat.

I enjoyed the happy ending and seeing Zag's family reunited, but also appreciated how the characters continued to work through their interpersonal issues (e.g., Dusa getting fired and then returning to the House thanks to Zagreus' intervention).

misc

Fishing in this game is simple, but difficult (for someone with poor reaction times). Once a fish bites, there's a particular interval in which the rarest fish are available; wait too long, and there's only a chance for the lower two tiers of fish. That being said, I still ended up with a Pavlovian response to the sound effect indicating an available fishing spot that plays when the room gets cleared. To my friend's chagrin, I would often stop to fish, even when racing against the clock (in game timer is paused while fishing).

Bonus: while writing this post, I realized that AGDQ was streaming Hades! Runners arcalena and trash_lapras (who are married!) did a 3 weapons race live, and even did a 2 player / 1 controller run after.
