I'm glad Fields of Mistria is at least a little more lenient with how you gain relationship w characters than Stardew was, bc as much as I love March as a character something I don't love about these kinds of games is the way their arcs/behaviour doesn't progress at all unless you're actively giving them gifts and talking to them every day (neither of which March deserves at all btw). Just rubs me the wrong way that the solution to jerk characters in these games is always to placate and rehab thier behaviour instead of the narrative/your accomplishments working towards that instead.

Idk. I think a lot of ppl have no problem kissing up to tsundere types in games but I'm like entirely too autistic and too "it's the principle of the matter" to be able to? If March is supposed to develop from being antagonistic and rude then it feels shitty that it comes from undeserved, infinite olive-branches and not just the natural progression of time/story? So at least I can mostly ignore him, tho as a consequence it takes fucking ages to increase his hearts passively that way. You can rebuff and scold him in the 2 heart event and I hope they carry that "I'm not taking your stupid ass bullshit, March" energy for the future hearts too. Because I'm out here infrastructure/farm-maxing, I'll spoil him w conversation and gifts when he figures his shit out on his own lol and we get on neutral ground.

Also I just generally don't like how abrupt his change towards you is on Friday nights. I get it's supposed to be comedic but when he's randomly only nice to you when he's drunk, and he's the only character who's Friday night interactions don't seem to have any bearing on his disposition or dialogue with you after (yet everyone else references their Friday night interactions w you and each other) it makes it feel almost non-canonical as opposed to a hidden quirk of his.

Also idk, "only nice when drunk" isnt the incentive to befriend him the devs think it is lol

the tragedy in night and day doesn't lie in the accident because day doesn't blame night for the accident (not really, not in the way night blames himself). the tragedy in night and day lies in day having wanted night to be his big brother but feeling like he had to take on that roll for night instead and night having wanted day to be his little brother who is as proud of him as he is of day but being unable to figure out how to get there before the accident. the tragedy lies in day not understanding why night couldn't step up until after day went blind ('im just so damn lucky to be blind') and their mother and the world started treating him like a tragedy; leaving him feeling like night has always been jealous of him and is only stepping up to take the place of the golden son of the family now that it's up for grabs. the tragedy lies in night not being able to communicate to day that he was always proud of him and that him showing up to his sporting events only after day went blind isn't because day is blind now but because he has always loved him and supported him ('this is my little brother. he's a junior athlete on the national team') but now it's impossible to convince day of his sincerity and night can't forgive himself. the tragedy of night and day lies in these brother not having been given the time to naturally grow out of this crooked brotherly dynamic that was put upon them and now they're stuck under all this weight both unable to leave the night of the accident when they're around each other. the tragedy in night and day is that tomorrow isn't guaranteed and they are too stuck in the past to look at today.

My relationship with destiny as a franchise is coming to an end pretty much as soon as season of the Wish is done. Ending because of the corporate bullshit and repeat of the same thing with Mass Effect Andromeda that killed my love of that series. Still holding out because the annual pass was a gift, as well as other significantly heavier reasons.

But that's really just a side note.

The actual point of this post is holy fucking hell that last Imbaru Engine puzzle. I loved all of them, even if I needed a guide for stuff like the cards, or a little hint on "okay what am I missing here, point me in the right direction." But I got all of the Noodling done myself, and it only killed me once, which was satisfying as hell. Shit, even Oryx and Xivu's puzzles killed me more than that.

Given the way that the Destiny devs like to incorporate player behavior and play with Savathun seeing past the 4th wall, I like to think she was watching me/my Titan doing this and taking psychic damage at my shorthand. I'm gonna drop my horrible little notes app "chart" under a cut so y'all can also behold the Noodling.

Asterisks are the puzzle claim, positive and negative are the truth of the claim. And again, my shorthand is just. Atrocious.

Also, I'm calling it now.

"Cayde-6" is the form our last wish dragon is gonna take when we figure out how to phrase our wish to get into the Traveler.

Game? No.

Write? No.

Art? No.

Glare hatefully at my phone because it also does not have whatever my brain wants? Sure, why not.

The church music production is actually taking a lot out of me. I am really excited about it and it feels like having back something that I'd lost, but I'm so tired.

Haven’t really formulated these thoughts into any coherent observation yet but something something East of Eden’s depiction of religious guilt offers a sense of forgiveness that makes one understand why people find comfort in religion versus Brideshead Revisited’s depiction of religious guilt being this frustrating and off-putting obstacle that drives all the characters to an eternal state of melancholy.

As someone that didn't play or watch anyone play TLoU, I'm having so much fun watching the show and the reactions of people that do know the game

I was just talking to my sister in law about this the other day, because she also has not played the game, but she's really enjoying the show. I was telling her that I'm both jealous and not jealous of people who haven't played the game. Like, on the one hand, I have a general idea of what to prepare myself for each week, but I'm sure it's obvious that I'm still shocked every week. On the other hand, it can be really fun to not know what's going to happen next. I would have been very into this show even if I hadn't already played the game(s) and it's been super fun seeing new people get into it.

Obviously I'm still into it now lol this is such a good adaptation.
