just finished Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and it is a game written by cowards for cowards.

the final twist genuinely ruins the game. it's so stupid as a narrative decision. i hate it so much. it almost makes me understand what the people yelling about The Last Jedi being too subservient to its themes were yelling about (OBVIOUSLY not the ones that were being bigoted and loud and wrong about it, but just the ones who had actual issues with its narrative directions/execution). genuinely, the twist takes what could have been an extremely solid 8.5, maybe a 9/10 game down to a 4/10 game with nothing of interest to say deluding itself into thinking it's saying anything of worth by thoughtlessly repeating patterns as if that's supposed to generate meaning without any real effort of actually committing to that meaning, or seeing the world as anything beyond its basic binary worldview of Good and Bad.

putting that twist in fundamentally cuts the legs out from any actual, interesting and substantive critique it could have leveled at the legal system and our feelings about people on trial and their perceived guilt or innocence, and it just ends up reinforcing it as a power of good that Will Ultimately Prevail In The Search For Truth, as if that is even remotely a thing any legal system is concerned with, especially the one in the game that mostly just stumbles into The Right Choices because it's a game controlled by the player. it's frankly ideologically incoherent to the point of saying nothing because its critique is unfocused and toothless. best it can muster is "maybe some people are corrupt and lying, but if You take Advantage of The System, you can beat them" as if malicious compliance is supposed to change the system. fuck off.

ran out of tags but. i'm serious about this lol, i really hate it as a narrative and ideological choice. the game threatens to say something bold and interesting and then just pulls the rug out from underneath you. it sucks. it's very much like 12 Angry Men in that way, i think, except at least that movie Knows what it's saying and that its basic premise is its ideological downfall, this just doesn't really feel like it says anything much interesting or coherent, ultimately, because the criticism either drowns in the length and comedic nature of it, or just ultimately isn't focused and pointed and nuanced enough to actually say something meaningful. like ik someone's gonna do a "kid's game" thing but hello, kid's shit has always been nuanced and just bc it's "for kids" doesn't mean it has to abide by some binary ass morality that flattens all its interesting critique, especially when you're constantly led, structurally, to the more interesting and nuanced narrative choice only to have a twist completely ruin it and making it all feel like a waste of your time. plenty of things are nuanced and interesting and "for kids" without deflating their themes and messages by writing a stupid twist that undercuts the interesting parts of its arguments.

my about 10 years old computer p much finally broke down today (black screens every 10 to 20 minutes) and I can thankfully have an old computer from my dad for now which I think is better than my old one anyway but. I fon't think I'll be able to get my drawing program back :,)

[xcziel]

if anyone has recs for 21+ bldrama, kdrama, or (bts-friendly) kpop discord servers that tolerate lurker-types and slow typers i'd appreciate a heads-up

The recent fanfic asks reminded my of my old DAO writing -- which I never brought over to AO3 when I moved there from ff.net; I was still in the depths of my divorce with the franchise when that happened -- so I hopped over to ff.net for the first time in ages to glance at them.

... and I had never realized until now that, reading them, you'd think my main Warden was a Cousland 🤣

You're more amazing than Battle

Been playing Monster Hunter recently and checked to see what my least-played weapon is and found out that I've played shockingly little hammer, so I spent the afternoon beating dragons to death with an exploding healing hammer :D

my mom has been making me feel so incredibly bad for not spending all my time doing holiday decorations so last night i stayed up till like 3 in the morning to do some holiday stuff even after i had missed dinner because i was sick and then this morning she woke me up after barely 5 1/2 hours of sleep to make me help clean up before the cleaners get here and then accused me of faking crying because i mentioned one time that i CAN fake cry. not that i do. that i CAN. perhaps it's also worth noting that i have done the entire friday morning cleanup by myself for the past three weeks.
