RAHHHHHHH I LOVE LESBIANSSS YALL ARE AWESOME

Go remind your local lesbian how great and swaggy they are

[buggo-buggo]

"Waifu" still being a common term is my personal equivalent of all those confederate statues in the US. We must not continue to let this man have influence over society like this.

[death-rebirth-senshi]

Actually a funny comment I saw claimed that Ranni has left earth open to being attacked by things like Astel again and uh. WE do that when we kill Radahn actually

(I guess??? Everyone's a lore expert when it's time to character bash and it's just kind of funny how people are about this game lol)

[ghkdkajfklsktejhfhe]

y'all are so depraved of sunlight that you care more about video game character discourse than the fact that people are literally dying.

"Who's Hotter?" Waifus and War Criminals

[sleepyminty]

Before playing arknights: oh another typical waifu/husbando collecting game and we the doctor is a self-insert for upcoming harem bullshittery

After playing arknights: arknights is gay, my operators are gays and dying, the world is doomed and doktah is a war criminal

[crocslederg]

Why do you Bidenpost so much? Is he your waifu?

He’s like Jerma if he was a war criminal to me, so in a way I guess

Stop hating on cod simps

Wait, because this thing has been sitingon my mind for the past couple of days. Why the fuck do men hate on women for simping for Ghost and Konig and stuff like that. I see them in tiktok comments like bruh cod simps ruined them for me and I just wanted to play them like normal. Like bitch,first of all you a grown ass man and a tiktok changed your mind about "the boys" game, come on who is buying that. Second of all, just because men's sexualisation of women on games is normalised that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Yall sit here and complain about Ghost and Konig being Gen Z sex simbols when back in your age when Lara Croft finally got trianglular tits yall would beat your meat to that everyday for weeks. Dont even get me started on Mortal Kombat, which is one of my favourite games but oh my just type mortal kombat female character. At least we as women like some gear/protection on our fighter, you bitches said Fuck it, lets give her realisticly 0% chance of living because she is practlicly wearing a bikini BUT we aint stopping lets take that to minus where SHE HAS TO WEAR HEELS!! WHY? Cause it sexy, duh! Mortal Kombat isnt suppose to be realistic yeah nor Call of duty CAUSE THEY ARE GAMES!! LET PEOPLE FUCKING LIVE AND WANNA FUCK THEIR MONITORS!! ITS THEIR OWN PROBLEM!! Yall have been fucking waifu pillows and getting of to bayonneta and shit, so now that women found someone to simp over now sexualisation of game characters is weird? Also your itsy bitsy Ghost opperator isn't getting offended or humilated from such coments, you know why? Cause he is pixels on a fucking scene! He doesn't have emotions... also he hasn't been throught the shit that you say, you want to know why again? CAUSE HE IS NOT A REAL PERSON. But oh yeah, men they are complitly normal for spamming their horniness under Kylie Jenners or Zoe Kravitz posts, yeah thats totally normal, for say "I would pound her so hard he scoliosis would fix" or "I fuck her so hard we would demolish from existance" YEAH THAT TOTALLY NORMAL. But 2 teen girls say he is so fine or hear me out under a post? NONO THATS WEIRD AND UNCOMFY. I just think that your toxic masculinity is getting over your head cause you know that if you come across and actually attractive woman that has a Ghost or Konig type, you would never ever be able to bag her since you could never reach the type of atractiveness they exude EVEN WITHOUT SHOWING THEIR FACE? On that topic I have seen a lot of girls being asked why do they like masks on me. Bitch, lets rewing you remember mortal kombat? Do you remember what do ALL females have in common in there? MASKS? Have you ever asked a man why did they do that? To interperte the face of them how every they imagined but cod men yeah no war criminals dont yassify them. That all enough. I am tired. Fuck off (to anyone that disagrees) and Good night.

war criminal waifu

[chaos-cousins]

friendly reminder that commander kamado is someone's waifu in a predatory gacha game about war criminals in wildly impractical tiddy armor and metal thigh highs!

I forgot about that. I deadass forgot about that.

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh not a fan of that after all hes done to me

[centrally-unplanned]

I would say for the S tier, it is primarily intangible things - Shadows of Valentia just looks better than its peers, and has great characters. I love Celica, I love Berkut, Alm's little buddy squad are fun, etc. And I find its philosophy of map design to be more "me", generally tighter maps with more focused "challenge points" instead of like unit spam a la Blazing Sword or later Awakening.

Sacred Stones is just so smooth of a game, it is fun at every moment. Each map leads into the next with little twists and evolutions, the overworld gives you a sense of place and scope, route choices are impactful and add replay (i like how the stories are actually different, its cute). And it is as "difficult" as you want it to be - your starter unit Seth is hilariously overpowered, so if you are in trouble he can always bail you out, but if you want a challenge you just don't use him, he is a pre-promote and just one guy after all. Seth is good game design, that is right come at me bros - particularly in the era of permadeath sans rewind mechanics.

I don't hate Fates, the c-tier is a honest c-tier, I would have put it in F tier if it was that bad. It has better combat design than Awakening, I actually love pair up as a concept as a way to make gameplay out of the support system and Fates improves that. I may want to yeet Camilla into the sun but a lot of the character designs are fun, the map aesthetics in particular are really good, it avoids repetition really effectively there which some FE games struggle with. Also I liked petting my waifus in the skinship minigame blessed fucked up Japan

But each route has something really wrong with it, such that none can truly work for me, and you need some way of playing the game that shines. Birthright's route is just dull, almost by design, with repetitive map design and a bland story. It is the least offensive at least. Conquest's route has the worst story in any FE game, the protagonist is a sack of bricks and also a war criminal, I actively want Corrin to die. And the merged route has, as mentioned, the worst map design in any modern FE game, just painful to get through. Which is annoying as someone who likes "completing" a team in an endgame, since you really wanna do that in the route that gives you all the characters. These games are still fundamentally FE and execute on gameplay fundamentals enough to be fun to play, but the missteps are too glaring for me to ignore.

👀 are you interested in fire emblem and would you tell us your opinions of the franchise, I’d be very interested

I do like Fire Emblem! I have played FE6-8, smatterings of 9-10 (never owned them, played with friends), and all the games past Awakening/13. I did also play a bit of FE1, no shade on the limitations of the time of course but it sucks, not worth playing. So I am not a grand FE master but I have a lot of exposure to it.

I admire Fire Emblem for its simplicity of design & stakes - the combat system is "hit enemy, deal damage based on attack power - defense" kind of stuff, how everything works is super clear. All the complexity emerges on top of that. Your army is all individual people, permadeath means you need to pursue strategies with a lot of care such that difficulty doesn't get trivialized even if it is still easy (there is a big gap between "my odds of losing are 5% - exciting, I'm doing well!" and "my odds of losing are 0% - boring, why can't I skip this"). When it is doing its best you have a squad of guys with clear stakes and challenges that are overcome via smart kiting and tanking, it is rarely "did you equip the White Hooded Cat Ears to a unit with the Lapis Pendant to double proc a high initiative archer with Glacial Rain for opening gambit AOE freeze spam to prevent Featherknight Magic Guard from activating?" Which to be clear can also be a ton of fun, each game should just be its own thing - FE is just often best-in-class at its niche.

Fire Emblem also has great aesthetics, it aims for that "classy" style of fantasy typically and everyone authentically buys into all that nobility medieval stuff, which for a video game story can be fun vibes. I love their character designs, normally it is a game series with the right level of fanservice (Camilia -_-), and as someone who enjoys romance sideplots in video games FE typically gives you fun sidequests along those lines that sometimes has gameplay implications to boot - I loved the "eugenics simulator" of FE Awakening, as the fans affectionately called its system of child units inheriting traits from parent units. Tharja you are gonna torture Gaius for eternity via marriage because your faildaughter Noire needs Galeforce, I don't wanna hear any god damn objections okay?

As a series it is far from perfect, as anything running this long must be. The plots are normally "meh", in particular the series just doesn't care about logic that much? People do dumb shit alllll the time; FE7's plot is an absolute mess, Three House's story is hung together by macguffins and asspulls, and so on. It is better when it is simpler - in FE6, our boy Roy has gotta beat a bad guy, he conquering the world with dragons, oh no - great, no notes. More modern games need more involved plots due to market demand, but FE has not yet mastered it imo.

More modern games have also stacked complexity on the combat system - skills that proc, squads that attach to units, most recently "Engage rings" that buff and give spells. These can be good! The thing is the simplicity of say FE6 gets boring over so many hours, what works for a 10 hour game gets stale over 40, you need to grow. Sometimes they do that well - I thought Three Houses generally was smart on this front, the skills are more passive, the squads and gambits were (generally, they fucked up on movement buffs) flexible and didn't break things while giving you toys to play with. But Engage, while a good game, did get too complicated by half with many of its systems, and Awakening literally broke itself with pair-up & stacked skill procs, you can easily trivialize the whole game. And meanwhile to spike difficulty they would give every random enemy fighter different lethal skill procs that you would have to triple check every turn, a problems-beget-problems moment. But! I like that they are experimenting. Would have been real easy to capitalize on the success of Three Houses and just repeat it with Engage, but they didn't.

Also while permadeath is conceptually good, restarting a whole map because of a cheese crit is fucking awful, and I am glad modern games have time reset systems to obviate that. I do not play the older games without an emulator that can save state.

Tier listing the games I have played, lets see:

S Tier: Sacred Stones, Shadows of Valentia

A Tier: Three Houses, Blazing Sword

B Tier: Awakening, Engage, Binding Blade

C Tier: Fates

Edelgard best girl, and I think that covers it!

Please everyone get into Alchemy Stars it’s such a good game it’s so underrated we have furries we have war criminals we have furry war criminals we have 40-year-old lesbian outlaws and also our Merlin is voiced by Midorikawa.

[bubblyernie]

Edit: this sounds like a rant but it’s not, it’s me being bisexual as fuck

The problem with me and the Hetalia fandom is that I have a weird habit where my taste in men are always swinging in weird stereotypical extremes, and hetalia has such batshit weird extremely stereotypical men as their main cast so every time I get a little older I’m instantly dragged back into the fandom bc there’s some pasty white war criminal who matches my exact tastes at the moment

For the record, it went from Jock > soft boy > punk > back to jock > really stuffy uptight skinny twink whos kind of an asshole sometimes > typical romantic > stuffy uptight twink again but now he’s nicer > a BASTARD > HIMBO

Also all the women can kill me and that’s my type for women so

[whitehairanimeboystereotype]

Excuse me while I rant about thrice in the tags

[febloggers]

You know what amuses me about Edelstans and their take on Claude?

They despise 3 houses claude for being the "good" lord and choosing to fight edelgard (cause it makes edelgard look bad lol) they tell themselves that he should be siding with edelgard (cause all characters should be used to prop up their imperalist emperor and ignore her violent ways lol)

but 3 hopes claude ? Oh they cannot be more pleased. They say he lost his "moral highground". They love how he's a violent war criminal (like edelgard) , not questioning edelgards claims , and being the untrustworthy brown person who only looks out for his own interests and they admit this is how they've always seen him , its what they've always expected of him. And they are ecstatic to see that he finally sides with their waifu. All their hopes for claude has come true!

What amuses me is they're also (perhaps obliviously) implying that its THIS version of claude that would side with edelgard. Only 3 hopes Claude (a character who edelstans themselves say lost his "moral standing") would ever choose to ally with the violent warmongering emperor.

Like really?? So 3 hopes claude is how edelstans always saw claude and they believed that thats who should side with edelgard? I guess even edelstans believe edelgards allies need to be "evil" to side with her. Seeing as she canonically works with TWSITD, Hubert, Kostas, Metodey, the Death knight etc in FE16 I guess it's not surprising that they'd think that lol.
