#my beloved game

[witchblade]

thinking about tma makes me want to play cultsim again

[scatmaan]

i clash with the me fandom bc me1 and me3 are my faves in the franchise n i hated me2 which seems to be everyones fave

gonna rant bc ive shit on the me franchise in the past but since i finally finished me3 a while ago i like it a lot more now.........

me1 is way more heavy in the world building, has such good atmosphere, and creepy elements... the music alone is just *chefs kiss* like straight out of a scifi horror. if you take the time to do the side missions and explore all the planets you get this feeling of unease.. plus its far more heavy on the rp factor. sheps bg comes up several times and you have the missions strictly for YOUR selected bg. its fun. i’ve replayed me1 so many times and i Always do every side mission bc i enjoy them

me2........... eugh. i just. idk. i guess its bc im not crazy abt half of the companions. so doing their loyalty missions is such a draaaaag to me. i love garrus, legion, and jack. and the next tier faves would be samara and mordin.. i dont dislike any of the rest but im also just.. not invested enough to want to replay their loyalty missions over. esp when they take up what feels like 80% of the game :// ... meanwhile the collector base which is pr cool is so short lived.. and the horror elements are 0. theyre gone.

i will say tho the war crimes committed in me2 are incredible i only hate that its never thrown in sheps face except for a very few fleeting moments i barely remember. like....they wiped out an entire planet. HELLO. i feel like THAT shouldve been sheps main trauma in me3. not the random kid they saw die. like my man KILLED. AN ENTIRE. PLANET. like sure, it was to stop the reapers from invading early but also.... thatd be very hard to come to terms with?? idk. missed opportunity. also just dont like the kid in me3.

me3 everyone seems to hate but i love it. obvs rp is 0. rp is gone. shep is basically a fully fledged char separate of whatever you decided in me1 or in your headcanons.. which.. im rlly fine with. again theres also like no horror in this one either but the suspense and thrill is great. esp since ive only played it once so far, i remember being on edge. alsoooooooooooo

the leviathan mission......... ugh. has got to be one of my favorite missions. sinking into the depths of the ocean in the middle of nowhere.. coming across the original species the reapers were based off of? the way that whole shit is handled was just very fun to me idk. wish there had been more of that ngl..

What if the characters in Ace Attorney all texted each other. Because they're friends. <3

(My alt text descriptions were a little long so I've added the individual text exchanges below, btw if there's any way I can improve my alt text please let me know!)

[id: drawing one shows text history between Maya Fey and Phoenix Wright on Nick's phone, starting with older texts at the top

Maya: ramen? (Nick has given this a thumbs up)

now we see texts from today at 11:37

Maya: Burgers?

Nick: sorry, not today, big case :(

Maya: Aww Nick

Maya: I'll pick it up and bring it over!

Maya: ... can i use your credit card (she punctuates the sentence with a big smiling face emoji) /end id]

[id: drawing two shows text history between Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth on Miles's phone, starting with older texts at the top

Edgeworth: This was a riveting article, I thought it might interest you.

now we see texts from today

Nick sends a screenshot of a twitter post that reads: Lawyers help people get through the worst day of their life. They're good at it because they have experience getting through their own worst day, which just so happens to be every waking day of their existence

Miles: Ha.

Nick: Just one "ha"?

Miles: Not your best work.

Nick sends a frowny face :( /end id]

[id: drawing three shows text history between Miles Edgeworth and Maya Fey on Maya's phone. The text bubbles from Maya here are green as a result of her, an iPhone user texting Miles, a google pixel user. Maya has also sprinkled several emojis into Miles's contact name, the libra scales, the angry face emoji, the shouting emoji, and the clashing swords emoji. They're mid conversation and Miles has sent a text bubble so big we can't read the whole thing.

Miles: -completely unnecessary. Doing a Steel Samurai reboot so soon after the series ended is a foolish decision, everyone will be directly comparing the two from the moment the first episode drops. I don't believe they even have a fresh direction for the show, the only difference will be the cgi. God forbid we rock the boat and follow a new character! It's abundantly clear to me that the studio executives are cowards.

Maya: Oh my gosh, and did you see the new outfits? Maya includes a sobbing emoji

Miles: Oh, don't get me started.

we see three dots at the bottom of the screen indicating that Miles is still typing. /end id]

I've touched on this in a couple of other semi-related posts before, but I find it hilarious and I appreciate how much Johanna Hezenkoss thinks Emmrich is the protagonist of Veilguard. Like, this woman could not give less of a fuck about Rook. She almost always refers to Rook only by their relationship to Emmrich. She refers to Rook as "one of Volkarin's hangers-on," "that impudent whelp following [Emmrich] around," "Volkarin's companion," and as Emmrich's "paramour." None of these imply that she thinks Rook has much agency. Instead, she acts like Rook is just helplessly following Emmrich around like a puppy, helping him complete tasks (which I guess is partly true).

If Rook romances Emmrich, Hezenkoss assumes that Emmrich seduced Rook and not the other way around, even though Emmrich is noticeably older than Rook and has hardly left the Necropolis in years. She's seemingly amazed by it, and yet it never once crosses her mind that Rook might have initiated the relationship (which is actually the case).

She also refers to Emmrich as the one who destroyed her construct, which is technically true, but she ignores the major assistance he had from Rook, another companion, and most notably Manfred. He couldn't have pulled it off without their help, and had in fact given up, but Hezenkoss acts like Emmrich was her sole opponent in that battle.

I've said before that part of the reason for this is that Hezenkoss seems to think of herself as the main villain of the story, so Emmrich must be the main hero. Hezenkoss says that some of the other big bads of Dragon Age, the Venatori, were nothing more to her than slightly useful and genuinely annoying. She clearly thinks herself above an entire organization of some of the most powerful mages in the world. And she sees Emmrich as pretty close to her in terms of raw power, since she almost invited him to her Vengeance Party but ultimately decided he was too much of a danger to her plans. She also states that she tried to get him to join her in the past, which I don't think she would do for anyone she considered to be less than her equal. Emmrich is genuinely the only person in the game she shows any respect for. Though she mocks his age and finds him to be too sentimental, too moral, and too fearful, she shows signs of agreeing with him on some topics, and she obviously respects his abilities if nothing else. No one else in the game acknowledges his frankly ridiculous knowledge and skill level (except Solas in the end) as much as Hezenkoss does.

And really, Emmrich does have main character energy. Though he does have some age and mortality related fears, dude is overflowing with confidence. When you first meet him, looking for a Fade expert, he has absolutely no problem telling you he's the best possible person for the job. Though he apparently hasn't left the Necropolis in years, he's totally down to join the team and go anywhere you want him to go. If you romance him, he is initially surprised, but he quickly turns into the smoothest dude around, and throughout the game you can hear him comment on some of his many relationships through the years. He's well-dressed, well-spoken, charismatic, highly educated, unfailingly kind, extremely powerful, and he's done so well for himself that Harding mistakes the son of a butcher and a cook for a member of the Nevarran nobility. No wonder Hezenkoss thinks he's the protagonist. The real protagonist is just out here winging it on guts and good luck alone.

Losing my mind

I played kinitoPET and got all three endings and all achievements in less than a day.

He is not leaving my fucking mind now.
