Fate/Samurai Remnant - TREASURE BOX
Should you get this limited edition?
Absolutely not.
More info under the cut!
General info
Version: Physical limited edition
On top of the 2 standard editions (physical and digital), there are 2 "deluxe" editions - physical (Treasure Box) and digital (Digital Deluxe). There aren't any higher tiers, but both deluxe editions differ in content.
Normal price: $59.99 Limited edition price: $114.99
That's $55 for just the bonuses. For this price, you could almost buy a second copy of the game.
"Bare minimum"
Game: Included (Nintendo Switch, PS4, or PS5),
Special box: Included, the design is not known,
Soundtrack: Included, not the full soundtrack. "Over 10 carefully selected songs are included on the original soundtrack CD (1 CD set).", as opposed to all songs in the Digital Deluxe version,
Artbook: Not known, presumably not,
Actual bonuses
"Fate/Samurai Remnant material": Only concrete information is that it contains short side story about the characters of the main game. (Despite Nasu not being the writer, it is about food.) Not known if it contains any artwork.
"Official Short Story Translation Booklet": Genuinely a really cool touch. However, it is only regarding the short story.
"B2-Sized Cloth Poster": Koei Tecmo's staple for limited editions.
"Command Spell Stickers": ...yeah, stickers.
"Box Bonus Costume DLC Code": ...quoting the website, "Costume DLC may become available for purchase or free separately at a later date.". Presumably not the same as the pre-order costume.
Extra information
It is known that the game will already have 3 DLCs. They are available in the Digital Deluxe version, but not here - to experience all the content, you will need to buy them (or a "Season Pass") separately.
All in all
Very underwhelming. For an additional price of $55, you get partial soundtrack, a short story and its translation booklet, and genetic and cheap knick-knacks. In addition, it doesn't include the DLCs - unacceptable for this price. Do not buy.

🍇 PRINCESS RAENESSA TARGARYEN (75 AC - 133 AC) (template by @kanos)
↳ Raenessa Targaryen was born in 75 AC to Prince Aemon Targaryen and his wife, Jocelyn Baratheon. She is the older twin sister of Princess Rhaela Targaryen, and younger sibling to Princess Rhaenys Targaryen.
Meek and emotional, she was oft called The Weeping Dragon behind her back. Ever compared to her two sisters, she lingered in their shadow for most of her life, trailing behind them and cleaning up their messes or sifting though the scraps they left behind.
Her cradle egg, as green as Wildfire, hatched shortly after her birth and finally in 91 AC at the age of sixteen, the timid Targaryen finally took the beast to mount. The Green Jewel of Dragonstone, Vysera, as she named her, seemed to be just as timid as her rider, but was fiercely protective of the young woman. While barely ridden due to Raenessa's distrustful nature, the dragon and rider shared a bond that was as close and unique as any other.
In 94 AC, at the age of nineteen, she wed Donnal Redwyne. The two struggled for years to have a viable pregnancy, and after many failed attempts, their prayers were finally answered when she gave birth to a girl in 113 AC, whom they named Daenys.
Unfortunately, their new found bliss was cut short as a fever took Donnal Redwyne's life mere weeks after Raenessa had given birth. The now widowed mother was never quite the same after that and as years passed she rarely let her daughter out of her sight. Months following the tragic loss, Queen Alicent extended an invitation towards her and the still young child, offering them a residence in the capitol should they want it. Raenessa graciously accepted and the mother and child lived in relative happiness and great comfort for many years.
When the Targaryen civil war commenced in 132 AC, Raenessa declared her support for King Aegon II Targaryen and The Greens, though, suffers a great loss at many turns.
In the days following the slaying of her older sister and her dragon at the Battle of Rooks Rest, Raenessa used the exodus of small folk from King’s Landing to flee the capitol. Amid orders from the Prince Regent, Aemond Targaryen, to seal the city, she managed to slip through undetected. Still reeling in shock and grief, she declared for her cousin, Rhaenyra Targaryen, but subsequently found herself locked in the cells beneath Dragonstone for a time, her untimely and sudden arrival sending ripples of confusion though the Queen’s small council.
Back in King’s Landing, Raenessa was branded a traitor and in retaliation Criston Cole suggests her dragon, Vysera, be slain and her remains fed to King Aegon's mount, Sunfyre, for her treachery.
In 133 AC, after failing to be reunited with her daughter, Daenys, until Queen Rhaenyra takes King's Landing, she suffers another great loss; one that will prove her last. During the riots lead by The Shepherd, Daenys would retreat to the Dragonpit to ensure the safety of her own dragon, Duskwing. Her demise was said to be particularly gruesome, the young woman and her unborn child crushed underfoot by her frightened dragon in its panic as the mob descended upon the chained beasts.
Overcome with grief, Raenessa Targaryen ended her own life just days later, through means of poison, succumbing to the deadly concoction nestled among her daughter's belongings.

I finished Succession like 3 weeks ago and I have thought of nothing else since, what an amazing show 😭😭 go watch it if you haven't!!!
I wanna use this show to practise my colouring, like I tried to make these scenes look really colourful but I'm not sure I like how they turned out 😐
#succession#succession hbo#kendall roy#roman roy#shiv roy#tom wambsgans#tomshiv#with open eyes#roy siblings#succession fanart#my art#succession is making me wanna change my whole art style fr#like the characters look too silly in my style!#but i suck at realism#i'm too used to drawing cartoons and it's easy to make them colourful#i wanted to try making a live action show really vibrant#i tried keeping a limited colour palette with these#but like each drawing has its own vibe they don't look consistent like i wanted#was drawing kendall's background like “save me gaussian blur”#as for the show i liked the ending#i am gonna worry for kendall though#posting this now before i edit it more

Am I simply misremembering WOF The Dragonet Prophecy or did the Limited Edition seem gorier than the original? I don’t have the paper version of the first release to compare, but it felt like a lot of scenes hit way harder/brutal than the first version (absolutely not a complaint, was a great read, but I can’t tell if this is just me completely forgetting the original)
#wings of fire#wof#wings of fire limited edition#book#the first book had always captivated me into the series but I felt way more sucked into the limited edition than my first read#I could have sworn a lot of it felt rewritten but I can’t tell if that’s my memory being Shit

headcanon that dark faeries are actually notorious for their love of toy collecting and are basically the neopian version of big-time monster high collectors, but they feel self-conscious about it due to social stigma and immediately feel the need to clarify "it's for target practice!" to questing pets when really the most damage they do to them is taking common toys apart for customs
#neopets#neotag#shitpost#just got a dark faerie quest and yeah i see you. i know enough goth doll collectors to know one when i see one.#hc that jhudora and illusen were both huge neopets monster high collectors and jhudora got an ultra limited edition and illusen didn't#the whole rivalry started bc the mattel website sucks#no i'm not still upset about not getting the new le jinafire why do you ask#my post

i feel very frustrated about the trend of giving chil body hair bc if it was any other anime twink i would be thrilled its just that it seems to only be because people are SO afraid of him looking young they have to make him hairy to justify liking him in ships.
meanwhile it does directly go against canon (he literally is supposed to look like a child. this is integral to both his character and his race's lore as a whole and it makes no damn sense that he would be mistaken for a child if he has body hair i mean. cmon.)
and it's like. some men are hairless. some men look young. when youre a trans man in your 20s-30s its especially common to be mistaken for a teenager, even more so if you're not on t. and short. these traits do not make you less of a man or an adult. :/
#rot posts#listen its like. i just wish ppl werent doing it for the reasons they seem to be#you NEVER see tiny little men get body hair in fanart i should know ive been in multiple fandoms where i was the only 1 givin bitches hair#but it also sucks when its like. clearly from a place of discomfort and not wanting him to seem young#rather than actually loving body hair#for example where is laios with body hair. wheres kabru. mithrun. literally any other character#(senshi us a slight exception on account of semi canonically having hair)#it just feels like a performance for no one. ok yeah good job you made chil look like a hairy 30 year old#did you pay attention to how that totally disregards his story and how he canonically looks like a child and that IS an important aspect#half foots face infantilism to an extreme and his appearance is a part of this. the discrimination he faces is partially BECAUSE of looks!#so changing him to erase such a HUGE important aspect of his race's lore just bc ppl seem uncomfortable with him being young looking feels#idk the feeling. its frustrating to me#i just wish there was some self reflection here. i guess. some actual acknowledgement of his canon struggles#do you even like chil if you cant accept one of his core canonical traits...#whew anyways this is HUGELY a limited edition post bc im deleting it as soon as my husband reads it ❤️#i hate drama i hate discourse so like always if you try to start shit i will ignore + block you soo fast dont try me

Gianni not doing any streams until April is gonna give you a good chance to catch up on your backlog I hope!
I’m all caught up with the exception of the most recent stream which I’ll probably get to tomorrow.
The backlog is uhh everything older than December 2023 (a lot). Not going to run out of that anytime soon.
I’m in no rush. Some weeks I only get through like 3 streams, other weeks it’s more like 9. Just depends on how much I need to be paying attention at work lol
#the backlog that SCARES ME is the list of clips#downloading and editing and all that is what takes a while#and I only do that at home (which is to say: very limited amount of time)#I have been trying to do it in batches and schedule em through the week recently#which is much easier#it’s just finding the time to do it that sucks lol#I have plenty of time at work#but very little free time at home#that’s the issue for me tbh#non voice post#ask#asks

I'm gonna be real I'm tired of stuff just releasing with a makeship campaign ready to go out of the box. like why are you selling a limited edition plushie day 1 I haven't even played your thing to be able to decide if I like it enough to buy a plush yet :(
#bea binkying#idk like. limited edition plushies suck bad enough as is#but the push for every new indie game to have one the day they come out#meaning if you don't play the game right there and then or just buy the plush before knowing if you even enjoy the game. you just miss out

#ay. tomorrow might b the day i face the music#which is to say. i tell my advisor how fucked i am. i mean. ill spin it so it doesn't sound so bad#its just that ive told him like 2 weeks in a row that id send him my edited preproposal and i have not bc im too afraid to start reading#papers related to my project. which is frustrating. and like the thing is. and i kno ive said it before and i kno im not a fucking idiot#i can read papers and i can even understand what theyre broadly saying. but thats it.#zero critical thinking. zero insight. i use all my tiny fucking brain space to try to understand the words on the pages#and even then it only forms this broken fucking image of whats being said. like u dont understand. i used to struggle with writing papers bc#i couldnt fucking connect what i was saying from one paragraph to the next when i was the one doing the fucking writing.#what the fuck am i doing here? and again. im not stupid. i can follow the information if its fucking said out loud but thats not how this#works. and it just feels like sometimes there's a limit to what you're capable of and im at that fucking limit. the undergrads in my lab#have more ability to comment on papers than i do. its so fucking frustrating and i just have to live with knowing itll never get any easier#so what the fuck can i do other than drop out? theres no god damn way im gonna pass a comprehensive exam. not unless i buckel down and break#myself in half to try to retain all the information i need to. which requires that i read so many god damn papers that i cant fucking read.#just. why tf did i pick a career path where my suffering is inherent to a huge part of my job? i feel like ive consistently chosen to take#the hard path in life and ive finally stumbled too far from what is possible for me#so well see what comes out of my mouth tomorrow when i have my weekly meeting. i just feel like its my last semester#i feel like this is it. i just need someone to fucking hire me. bc everytime my lab mate mentions something abt#my project down the line or talks abt future conferences i should attend. im just like. its a nice idea but that's not happening. im just#at the end of the line and it sucks#unrelated

Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles Limited Edition
Should you get this limited edition?
Kinda yes, if you're a fan? But this release still uses some scummy practices.
More info under the cut!
General info
Version: Limited edition
As it is customary with NIS these days, they release their games digitally, the physical version gets bumped to a "deluxe edition" with bonuses that aren't worth the price, and the limited edition gets the actual bonuses.
Normal price: $49.99 Limited edition price: $89.99
That's roughly 80% more than the normal price of the game.
"Bare minimum"
Game: Included (Nintendo Switch or PS5),
Special box: Included,
Soundtrack: Included, most probably the full soundtrack for both games - store pages mention 2-disc original soundtrack for both of the included games,
Artbook: Included, although it is not known whether it is a quality artbook (containing not just art from the game, but also concept art, etc.) or just a collection of available-elsewhere prerenders.
Actual bonuses
"Royal Crescendo" Art Cards: for all it matters, 3 postcard-sized (hopefully) printouts
2 Acrylic Displays
"The Show Must Go On" Cloth Poster
Extra information
This is one of the two ways to obtain this release physically. The other one - "Deluxe Edition" - includes "Mini Art Book" and "Double-sided Mini Poster", none of which are available in this edition. It is a bit concerning that the only way to obtain the game physically is to get a version with, possibly, unneeded bonuses padding the price.
Moreover, this is a re-release for 20+ games, with just some quality changes.
All in all
Surprisingly enough, this isn't the most overpriced limited edition around. For $40, you get 2 full soundtracks for the included games - most probably the main selling point of this edition - and some other paperweights that NISA habitually adds to this type of releases. This is arguably worth the price.
However, you cannot obtain the soundtracks anywhere else, which means that the only easy way to obtain those is through this limited edition, which comes with other bonuses which pad out the price. What's more, the kinda acceptable price of the set comes from the fact that this is the typical price for NISA's limited editions. If the games were released separately, the limited editions for each of the games would probably sell at the same price point. This is not example of a fairly-priced limited edition, this is an accident caused by a set pricepoint.

Tears of the Kingdom is a year old! How do you feel?
like about the game? the same as i did when it came out. it sucks.
#guys i'm sorry but i'm never gonna like this game. it sucks.#the puzzles are jokes the gimmick gets boring once you have auto hand the world is still empty. the story is uh. well it's there i guess?#there are good open world games. there is a way to make a good open world zelda. there is a way to incorporate good puzzles and dungeons#into a big world. but nintendo hasn't done it yet. i don't want an open world game with a large map i want one with a FULL map#the only good puzzles were the light ones in the lightning temple.#i want an open world with a genuine sense of progression. i want one where the puzzles ramp up as you continue. yes that means limiting-#order of dungeons but its better that way. i'd rather have more in depth puzzles and challenges but have to do dungeons in order-#then all dungeons being the same amount of difficulty and unable to build on themselves but be able to do them in any order.#the only good thing that came out of this game is that it reminded me how much i love zelda. That is. before botw#it inspired me to replay Oot MM Tp WW and play the oracles and i loved them so much better#raven croaks#totk neg#<- for blacklisting#edit: also because i can. It was 70 dollars. it shouldn't have been. Bg3 was 60 and it was so much more of a better and full game than totk

no funny little thoughts today. have this instead,,,,,, mtt fighting shshahsgahagsgaa CHOKES ok i lied maybe i DO have funny little thoughts below where the reference is :3
this is SUCH a cool composition shot i had to draw something based off it (ignoring the erm. the flashing,,,,, this game came out like 10 years ago just ignore that)
anyways triglycercule what are your thoughts??? funny you asked triglycercule allow me to illuminate :3 so ive been remembering that one ask from like 3 or 4 months ago where i answered like well i like to consider the trio to just have met one day and then decided oh hey we should like totally explore the multiverse together (my excuse to draw them in any possible situation possible (mtt at an amusement park when) (soon (probably not))) and recently i was like WAIT i could probably like totally find a way for them to meet because just saying they met (is a totally valid use of my creator powers BUT) is uncreative and vague,,,,,
so i was like damn. how COULD i get them to meet 🧐🧐🧐 so i was like ok so dust beats human. done and done. but like bros BOUND to get bored. like if he gets bored from not having the human to kill then he's gonna seek out SOME other form of entertainment. so dust is like ok how about i work on some old ancient machines i made b4 to pass the time and one of these ends up being like a universal traveler thingy. and to his own surprise he actually MANAGES to get it done???? (i totally didnt steal this idea from myself,,,,, whaaat youre saying there's another triglycercule dust that came up with a universe hopper machine??? NO (sorry mania))
and oops instead of staying in dusttale like he intended dust accidentally gets chucked into horrortale (bro just wanted the sense of accomplishment not to thrown into some random world.) and then cue like horror and him meeting and its all tense and confusing and then horror paps comes around and hes like OMG ⁉️TWO BROTHERS ‼️‼️ and then invites dust over for a nice sweet little bowl of human spaghetti. unfortunately for dust the little teleporter device is no longer connected to dusttale's core (because hes not IN dusttale) so he just kinda has to suck it up and deal with it until he can find a portable power source
dust's not trying to get KILLED out here so he asks horror (who sadly cannot push dust into blue snow because paps is very enthusiastic about his appearance) where he can find like batteries or something. and horror makes some off hand comment about like power sources and his eye being in the core and how theres like no power and oh why did dust immediately start listening once horror mentioned his eye,,,,,, dusts not gonna rip horror's eye out (he has no reason 2 if theres a perfectly good 1 @ the core!) so he tells horror what he needs the power source for and then hes like i can help you get food for your buddies if you help me help you. ok? ok
and then they sneak into the core to get the eye and oops dust didnt you learn your lesson last time!! the little teleporter thingy brings them to another world AGAIN (and now horror's PISSED because this wasn't in their little deal) and guess where is is,,,,, you already know its something new. and i guess to make things uncomplicated this is a something new where killer already killed his chara but he hasn't tried to reset the world and kill himself (and therefore attract nightmare) yet (he's getting there!)
not like they think the au is anything other than just a wasteland because there is literally like nobody around but they stumble into killer and it doesn't even take like more than a minute before a fight breaks out (i probably need to think more about what happened and why they started fighting but knowing the trio its BOUND to happen) and lowkey killer is getting his ass beat what the hell??? he has never experienced a fight where he's been on the losing end in a long ass time & mindgames arent working because they keep seeing through his shit??? (because horror and dust somehow even though they barely know each other and horror's pissed @ dust have like craaaazy synergy and coordination & killer hasnt faught them ever before + yk yk inner turmoil at seeing other versions of yourself) so he gets annoyed and pulls out the blaster to end it
dust and horror don't DIE outright (not like they would be able to tank killer's blaster) because killer decided to be like hey these guys are new and cool and interesting. i should keep them around instead of killing them off and see how much i can play around with them :3 so he just blasts them until theyre at like 0.0000000000000001 HP :3333 and then idk thats it 4 now,,,,,, i think this is silly and fun and cool and i can imagine it in my head and OH NO THE VOICES (make a comic) THEYRE GETTING LOUDER (you should draw this) NO WAIT MY MOTIVATION (coooomic would be a perfect medium for this) im sorry inner voices i cant,,,,,,,
#i could probably push the perspective to its extreme if i did it on my ipad#make the gaster blaster bigger...... give killer a cooler pose........#but im lazy i dont feel like transferring this 1 2 digital and therefore it gets stuck on paper with no further edits#anyways this is soooo cute this is so them in my eyes. yeah this would happen#triglycercule HATES cementing things in place for the mtt (because my flexibility will be GONE!!!!)#but fortunately this is only 1 interpretation of them!!! thank god!!!! im not limited to this 24/7#i like the idea that horror' immortality is now like stuck in dust's device that they use to multiverse hop#like a part of his life is quite literally dependent on the device being intact#but also it powers the device which is like..... woaaaaah double meaning or something#it's dust's device powered by horror's eye but killer's the one that knows how to handle it best#they all get to do team collaboration with the teleporter!!! yay!!!!!!!#back on th immortality thing (i mean hes not REALLY immortal but still)#horror technically could just stay behind in horrortale and let dust an killer fuck around#because maybe killer would come along with dust if he knew what dust made#but he doesn't (because it sucks balls in horrortale and he's GUIIIILTY) but also because like. its just a good tradeoff#horrortale gets the food and support he wants to give them so the suffering can end#and horror doesn't have to be plagued with his boredom and stuck in a place he both traumatized and is traumatized by#its a win win!!! besides like sightseeing is a good enough tradeoff for hanging out w dust and killer#and dust still gets to revisit dusttale once in a while JUUUST to make sure the human didnt somehow come back#and even if he did now they get to reenact the murder time trio fight against dust's human w horror n killer!!!!!!!!#OH SHIT I JUST NOTICED DUSTS LEFT HAND IS BACKWARDS FUCK#NOOOOOO I MESSED UP......... AAAAAAA...!!!!!! too l8 to change it now...... (lazy)#ahahaaaaaaa i love this version of the mtt so much. its like KINDA canon compliant but also has a triglycercule flourish to it#AND NO NIGHTMARE IN SIGHT!!! YES!!!!!!!!#this killer seeing another version of him where he didnt have dust and horror to find him first#and being like damn. i could've ended up like that. i could've ended up serving someone else...... its a bit of an uncomfortable feeling#so off he goes to bother dust and horror again! gained an ever so slight appreciation for not being in that situation I GUESS idk#i snickered giving killer the chara smiley face to simplify his face gooooodddddddd#this feels naught of needing to be tagged. anyways i THINK this could be a hc idk....... headcanon it is!#tricule hc

Does anyone else have this thing where you grew up so different and ostracized from your peers that you grew to pride yourself on your differences, your uniqueness? And then you grow up and become an adult (or some twisted mockery of one anyways) and find people exactly like you, down to the same hobbies, appearance, talents and you’re like. Oh wow. I’m not special at all 👍
#just me? idk man it sucks so bad FOR ME when I find someone just a liiiittle bit too similar to me#like hey. I’m supposed to be the only copy like that. limited edition type shit#does this make any sense at all or am I insane

Chat Chat: finn and niserie
"Just a minute," Finn called behind his shoulder as the bell to The Raven's Message twinkled, signaling a patron. Niserie curiously gazed all around, her hazel eyes flickering to all kinds of various herbs, tomes, and other magical products. Soon, Finn descended a staircase to meet her, of course after completing a recipe to ship. "How can I help you this evening?" he asked politely. "Are you looking for a potion, a specific ingredient? We have it all, if not I will hunt it down for you." She nodded. "Do you have something that could enhance a weapon's power? I know it sounds vague but there's a monster I've been wanting to hunt down." Finn's interest was instantly piqued-of course he'd gotten requests aplenty for something like this, however, hearing an adventurer's quest was another thing that made the job all the more worthwhile. "Yes, of course. On top of that, I also have potions for your defense in that case, and one to restore strength," he said, motioning for the elf to follow him toward a row of shelves farther in the back. Various shaped vials, bottles and flasks filled with multi-colored liquids adorned them. "They will be an extra charge if you choose to add them, though." Niserie mulled it over, but couldn't seem to make a decision, internally scolding herself-for Pete's sake she had a boyfriend who lived and breathed this stuff! Sensing her hesitation, Finn stepped forward and plucked a dark colored vial from the shelf. "This one is a buff potion. It lasts a good while, 20-30 minutes. Drink it and you'll be landing some heavy hits no matter the foe," he explained, holding it up. "It's made with the claw of a dragon and feather of a griffin among other things. Goes for 595 Jydro." Niserie took it from him to take a look, frown playing on her lips. As she was again thinking about it, Finn went to rummage through the shelves for some other choices, but he couldn't help but wonder. "What is this creature you're facing? It might give me a general idea of how to serve you." Niserie blinked, and peered up toward him. "Well, for starters, it's just a rumor. A friend of mine wants me to investigate some disturbances within Midasay Forest-" Finn stopped her almost immediately. "Midasay Forest? You are bringing a party, right? I've been there to harvest ingredients. Some of the creatures I've seen are no joke and my magic skills aren't up to par either! And that disturbance, I wouldn't put past it being what I think it is. I've read up on it. The Univaus." The silence that hung in the air confirmed everything he needed to know. Shaking his head, he turned and again went back to finding the perfect mixture for this patron--no matter how crazy she may have seemed. "I can handle it," Niserie insisted. "I'm not just some lowly elf, I've been through more you can imagine." Finn paused, arms gathered with various bottles. Whirling, he got a good look at her face. "These should work, I'll calculate the totals. Who are you? Rather, who am I making this order out to?" Placing the potions upon his workstation desk, Finn dipped a quill into some ink. "Niserie Reythana," she told him. "I'm not from here." His demeanor changed just as quick, scribbling her name onto worn paper. Now he knew. "I've heard about you. Listen, I commend your bravery and your story, but please, if you really do plan going into Midasay Forest alone-" "Nothing's going to stop me," she told him. Her tone left no argument. "If that disturbance turns out to be something that can harm somebody, I can't let it go." Finn sighed, resigning to the fact. Many times he'd come across reckless customers and he'd feared they would reap what they sowed. In the end, he'd never really know. "Very well. These potions should cover all of your bases: defense, offense, and restoration." He watched her carefully, that resolve never left her eyes as she took the bag and turned on her heel.
