okay not to pit bad bitches against each other again, but if you're here and you enjoy bee gee three but for some reason have not touched the pillars of eternity series, let me just tell you:

you deserve to play those games, don't settle for bee gee three just because it's better than dragon édzs, treat yourself, nurture your soul, play pillars of eternity, light of eothas be upon you all

Like. I dunno. I have ten billion years of psych ward esque mental health lessons because I’ve been hospitalized like a dozen times. And like I did treatment through school and 90% of alcohol treatment bullshit is the same as suicide treatment bullshit except Killing Yourself is replaced by Getting Shitfaced so they would not tell me anything new at rehab

honestly i love all of BSD’s openings, but openings 2 and 4 (reason living and true story, both by SCREEN mode) really nail the essence of what BSD is about somehow — not just through the lyrics, but the overall sound and musical quality of them just feel quintessentially like bungo stray dogs.

and like, i’m sure that part of this is just coming from my own musical biases as well as the obnoxious music student urge to dissect every piece of music i hear — but like, SCREEN mode’s songs just have the tension, drama and flair and snappiness that just fits so well for BSD. and there’s even kind of a desperation in it, too, which lines up so well with the series’ themes. and there’s the grit, too, which openings 1 and 3 excel at —

but the way that SCREEN mode’s instrumentation choices (like the absolutely delectable piano writing in their songs, choosing when to use flourishes at the right moments. it gets me every time), harmonic and rhythmic elements combine to create this kind of rushing, tense grit and sparkle to their songs, just feels very stray dogs-esque. and their sound for the openings is modern and also… not antiquated, but there is a certain classiness to their music that gives it this elegant, bygone-days feel which is, and i cannot understate this, perfect for the series and its setting and aesthetics.

and to be fair, it doesn’t just apply to the openings. wright left which we hear in S3 E12 is sublime. the style and drama is just… very BSD. the jazzy piano (especially that solo section), the guitar riffs, soaring synth string melodies, push and pull of the drums in the refrain before it truly settles into a groove for the verses — it all works together in organised chaos to create this classy, sharp, dynamic sound which feels very characteristic of the show. and it’s a similar thing for season 2 and season 4’s openings.

and you know, these things are not necessarily revolutionary nor unique — it’s just that, in my humble opinion, the show offers the perfect backdrop for this kind of music to really shine. like, SCREEN mode somehow perfectly encapsulate what makes BSD… BSD in the music they’ve written for the show, which, honestly isn’t an easy task, given just how spread all over the place the series is. and for that, they have all my praise and respect.

very excited to listen to the full OP, ED and the rest of the soundtrack for this season!

bonerattle arena fucks severely. i was not expecting it to rival my love for jammin' salmon junction, but wow. this map feels like a love letter to people who love and enjoy salmon run. (i ended up playing the rotation for around 3.5 hours... which you can watch here if you like!)

the map's circular shape on normal/high tide effectively makes the spawns from this map come from every angle. it's a test of awareness and movement skill- and the walls + inkrails really, really make rotating around the map feel so fluid and easy.

and low tide's hexagonal two-ring design is so fascinating too! instead of testing movement, it tests your team's ability to make judgment calls on luring and making sure you don't overwhelm basket from luring too much.

i also feel that every special in salmon feels really rewarding to use on this map- even reefslider! i've played enough to see that most specials bring so much utility and value, and i just love that no special feels like it's "useless" on this map.

there's also a few flyfish tech on this map that echoes the bomb tricks on jammin' salmon junction and spawning grounds (and i guess gone fission too), it feels really intuitive on what spots can pop two baskets at once (it's the grates and the rails) and i just? feel really rewarded for playing as much salmon as i do.

i feel that the map's inclusion of the ink rail mechanic evokes a lot of similar vibes to ruins of ark polaris- and i really liked that! there's definitely some things i want to fine tune and understand better about them, but they're really fun.

i still need to see how other weapons feel on this map, but it feels like both mobile and stationary weapons can exceed here- there's nice perches for long range weapons, lots of walls for quick weapons to use to escape situations... it's so swag...! a very good final map, i think!

I seriously hope Oda pulls a The Spot from Spiderverse type moment with Zoro’s direction impediment at some point in the manga

Where we go from laughing about how directionally challenged he is to feeling some type of way, because it has life or death consequences

In today's Drawfee: one of the characters Jonah assigns to Karina "IS IT A YUGIOH EPISODE WE'RE DOING??" Farek is Genshin's walking-talking Yu-Gi-Oh reference Cyno.

And then they proceed to make no mention of it during her drawing whatsoever.

(I think it's hilarious, yes)
