#my complaints

[ashley-kins]

After a while of playing Tears of the Kingdom, I have some complaints. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved Tears of the Kingdom, but there are some things that I don't really enjoy. Some of these are things other people have stated they don't like, and some of these are actually something that are controversial.

Let's start with the ones people can agree with:

There are too few sky islands and there's almost nothing on them. There are a few exceptions like the Great Sky Islands, the entire way up and including the wind temple, the diving islands, etc. But the majority are copy and paste empty islands and all of them were Zonai related. I wish they added Monk Maz Koshia's sky island directly above the Great Plateau like in BotW's DLC, the islands from Skyward Sword, and the City in the Sky from Twilight Princess for some examples.

A real explanation of where Sheikah tech went. Like, we all know what the developers said: "they all vanished suddenly after the Calamity was over" we know that's bullshit because Purah and Robbie still use the ancient Sheikah technology for their towers, the Purah Pad, Purah's telescope, Robbie's mini Cherry, and the lone guardian on the roof of the Hateno Ancient Tech lab. Also it didn't just vanish after the Calamity as the true ending cutscene in BotW shows at the most a month after the Calamity and Vah Ruta broke down, not vanished.

The empty depths. I love the ruins and lightroots of the depths, but on the scale of the entire kingdom of Hyrule? It's empty. Up above you would find Koroks, small structures, different surfaces (sand, grass, rock, snow, etc), enemies and even citizens. I know that you can find mine ruins, the construct factory, Yiga outposts, and enemy mines; but the depths were so vastly empty with the exact same scenery no matter where you were. I would've preferred far smaller areas than the surface counterparts or even just have the Faron, Eldin, and Central Hyrule depths since that's all you actually need to go.

The Lightning Temple. Listen, I love the Lightning Temple. I just wish that they had used the Arbiters Grounds instead of a completely new dungeon. No, I don't mean I wanted Twilight Princess's Arbiters Grounds instead, I mean that there would've been some really cool, subtle lore that the Arbiters Grounds had been destroyed after TP and was rebuilt as the TotK Lightning Temple. Like, could you imagine seeing "The Lightning Temple: Arbiters Grounds rebuilt"

Sage abilities. How they implemented this was the absolute worst. If I were to redesign the sage abilities, I'd have it work more like BotW's champion abilities but with the same reload time as the sages. I'm going to say how I would've implemented each one. For Tulin's ability, I would've pressed the sneak button while in the air to gust forward. For Sidon's ability, I would've held down the block button like Daruk's Protection but swung the weapon while blocking to have the "water slice." For Riju's ability, when you use the bow, you hold block and instead of it Z-targeting the enemy, it would turn the arrow into a lightning arrow (a different type of arrow than electric arrows because it's used as Riju's ability to call down a lightning strike.) As for Yunobo and Mineru's abilities, they would've been the same as before. So, Yunobo basically is the only one with an Avatar and Mineru just follows you as is.

Dragon Tears. No, it's not because it's too similar to finding Link's memories in BotW, it's because you can find them out of order and before finding Impa. Yes, I am frustrated that the first dragon tear I actually investigated was the death of Sonia and I had no clue what was happening. I wish that it forced you to find the tears in order. Like, the geoglyphs would appear one at a time. Or maybe give the same cutscene as when the final tear appears. The light dragon has a tear drop and we need to go find it.

This one is the most controversial thought I feel like... Ultahand. Yup, I don't like ultahand. I don't like building my own vehicles. I don't like building robots. I just don't like engineering games. I love the Zelda puzzles, but when I had to build the solutions in shrines? I hated it. I prefer the BotW shrines where you find a solution by thinking outside the box. In TotK, there is no box to think outside of because whatever you try, it's possible with what we gave you. Make a bridge out of car wheels? Go ahead we love that! I would've personally felt more satisfied with finding a solution that wasn't intended, but in this game every solution was in fact, intended.

That concludes the things I didn't like about the game, everything else, though was absolutely fantastic.

Actually, nobody talks about how hard it is to be a fan of Chuuya and Dazai and their canon dynamic who does NOT ship them because EVERYTHING is about that ship.

Want to find an analysis about either character? Have to go in and see if the person making it ships them (hint: 98% chance they do) then have to check their other analyses to see if they let shipping blind their thinking. And even if they don’t, still have to proceed with caution because those shipping goggles love to slap themselves onto shippers randomly. This goes triple for analyses on their dynamic.

Want fanart that features the two of them? Too bad, it’s 97% ship related. Yes even if it’s just a canon scene, the artist has most likely added stuff to make it shippy. Want fanart of only one of them? There’s still a chance there’s subtle things on the art that makes it seem like they did date or are dating/in love.

Memes and jokes? Run into the same problem.

Fanfiction that’s not even about either of them? Somehow the writer has to throw it in there.

Oh and you can’t block the tags here on tumblr because hardly anyone tags the ship related stuff as “dachuu” or something, they all use “SKK” or “soukoku” or “double black” which means all content related to them is also blocked. (Update: more ppl use “dazai x chuuya” or “chuuya x dazai” but it only filters out about 1/3 of ship stuff)

In all my years I’ve never been in a fandom where one can’t go anywhere without seeing a non-canon ship plastered everywhere to the point where it’s hard to enjoy the characters and story as is.

When a commissioner requests a $600 refund and you only have $50 in the bank 😭😔😞

(currently talking options with my wife lmao and the commissioner was more than in their right for their request so I'm bitching out myself more than anything, especially because they were very sweet and professional throughout the matter)

Ok so I know not everyone on my blog is a Resident Evil fan…

But I remembered this is my house so I can do what I want.

So I’m gonna be honest. RE8 isn’t the worst in the series (you’d have to work to be worse than Resident Evil Gaiden, the Gun Survivor mini series [no offense to the fans of it], the disappointing RE3 remake, or the shitshow that was RE6). But I’m annoyed at the lack of enemy variety or creativity.

There are minions for most of the 4 lords and the ones given to Dimitrescu and Heisenberg (I’m not counting Beneviento, you couldn’t really fight the dolls or the baby), make sense given that the four lords are based around classic horror stories/subcategories of horror stories/literature.

Starting with Alicna Dimitrescu, she is based on Dracula and her daughters are based off of the three wives Dracula had in the book. She drinks blood and uses her claws plus she has a bat form. Those all work. Her minions are called Moroaicǎ and look like this:

This works as a vampire’s servant.

Now Karl Heisenberg has different mechanical abominations that he presumably created, this makes sense as his character was inspired by Viktor Frankenstein. These creatures match his inspiration perfectly.

And we have reached my biggest complaints. First of all Salvatore Moreau was inspired by Lovecraftian body horror, his design is suitably fishy and unnatural, reminding me a great deal of the Deep One hybrids from the Shadow Over Innsmouth. However, he does not have minions matching his theme. Resident Evil has had an entire game with Fish-zombie creatures created by the T-Abyss virus (Resident Evil Revelations) and they would have been fine to reuse here. But we did not. Instead he had the enemy type I found the most disappointing.

THE LYCANS.

Look at this:

DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A FUCKING WEREWOLF TO YOU?!

Dear god I hate how they were so boring to look at and their name makes no goddamn sense. This could’ve been a better idea of monsters that are still continuing to transform as time goes on. A friend said a werewolf would be silly. Until I pointed him towards the werewolf infection from Ginger Snaps, a slow and permanent transformation that is not dependent upon the moon. Resident Evil 8 could have given us something like that, but no, we get kinda hairy dudes with long nails and jacked up teeth.

YOU COULD’VE JUST MADE ACTUAL WEREWOLVES, YOU COWARDS!

Okay rant done.

out of spells- I’m still a lil’ more than sad that we never got a proper conversation between Hunter and Amity about eclipse lake and saw them slowly become genuine friends, but HEY we got them as step-siblings so I’ll take what i can get I guess!!!

It eats me up inside that the last real conversation we as an audience saw was this!

Paying someone to draw for me makes me physically and mentally exhausted. It turns out to be me personally modify it and let them counterdraw it…every single time.

I'm watching Saiyuki Reload, but I have many complaints.

First off the dub version. All I can say is WTF is up with the change of voice actors in the dub version? The original ones from Gensoumaden Saiyuki anime suited the characters. (And yes I'm watching the sub version due to me not liking the voice changes from the dub version.)

Second complaint. Why change Goku's outfit he looks like a homeless person. (In my opinion.)

how i feel about all the changes in s3

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

strange that "skinny" means thin. it should mean...skinny. characterized by skin. possessing or characterized by an above average amount of skin. more skin rather than less skin. but somehow it means less skin? preposterous

Asagiri just validated Wan!

It’s never been more over

[pangur-and-grim]

every time I say “starting nooooow I won’t have any major expenses” something HAPPENS! there’s raw sewage backing up from my drains, and apparently the plumbers will need to break the floor and the wall to get to the pipes and fix it.

if the cat stuff hadn’t wiped out my bank account, this would be annoying but manageable. as it is…..I’m going to try to get everything up in the store for Friday.

when your professional frenemy calls you a cradle robber and says that she looks better than you despite being a literal skull.

[valtsv]

regardless of how you feel about homestuck you do have to admit that the story concluding with almost all of the major characters literally deciding to just say fuck it and abandon the story entirely is like. an absolutely iconic narrative decision. you know what i'm not doing this shit anymore. figure it out. bye.
