My unpopular Veilguard opinion is that I didn't think the combat was particularly good. You can imagine my surprise when I picked mage and discovered that I have THREE(!) slots for spells. Only about half the abilities affect your or the enemies' positions, whereas the rest are "hurt one guy" or "hurt many guys." They apply status effects, which is where the rock-paper-scissors detonations comes into play. But selecting party members who can take advantage of detonations is not a gameplay mechanic that adds to my moment-to-moment enjoyment of combats.

I like parrying, but once I assembled a parry build I would walk into combat, never die, and get all my mana back instantly in order to use one of my three (3) abilities. I hit that point around 30 hours, which says to me that this is fine combat for a 30 hour game, but not a 60 hour game.

here we are again, my old friend. Time for a re-read. In case you were curious, this is The Mysteries of Udolpho, by Ann Radcliffe. The heroine, Emily St. Aubert (the name! the naaaame!) is the most incredible Mary Sue to ever Mary Sue and I love her for it. She is beautiful, gentle, good at everything, but most importantly the most Pure and Good Girl Ever. Descriptions go on and on for pages. In fact, everything is described to DEATH in lush and exhausting detail. But! You get to read things like this-

"The deepest shade of twilight did not send him from his favourite plane-tree. He loved the soothing hour, when the last tints of light die away; when the stars, one by one, tremble through æther, and are reflected on the dark mirror of the waters; that hour, which, of all others, inspires the mind with pensive tenderness, and often elevates it to sublime contemplation. When the moon shed her soft rays among the foliage, he still lingered, and his pastoral supper of cream and fruits was often spread beneath it. Then, on the stillness of night, came the song of the nightingale, breathing sweetness, and awakening melancholy."

purple prose and mary sues are an important part of the literary ecosystem and should be treasured.

I translated and typeset the first of damurushi’s hitokazu doujins, Song of the Burning Bird - Side White (Hinotori no Uta - Shiro / ひのとりのうた・白 ) into English! Similar to my In the Honey Milk translation, the translation was mostly using machine translation, but I've asked jp speakers to help with unclear lines.

In order to read it for yourself, DM me proof that you’ve purchased the doujin for yourself from damurushi’s booth! You can either buy both sides at once here, or just side white here. I do plan to translate side black next! 🫶

I was out celebrating my birthday tonight (today is not my actual birthday, just the party) and I have made the very wise decision not to go to be until I sober up a bit more to help avoid a hangover

Y'all are TRULY sleeping on Hyacinth by S.M. LaViolette. Like, I really enjoyed Phoebe (first book in the series), but Hyacinth is on another level. It features:

--a scarred libertine duke

--a neurodivergent heroine (23 to his 36) who happens to be KILLER at playing cards (in part because she's counting them) and sneaks out at night to play them while dressed as a very awkward young man

--a very casual interest in kink from her that makes him (a kinky man) go "O_O"

--a shockingly fabulous scene in which he tries to get her to admit she's a girl by taking her to a brothel, making her watch two people fuck while sitting beside him, and rattling off like 75 slang phrases for "jerking it" before being like "there's nothing WRONG with it bOY MEN MASTURBATE IN FRONT OF EACH OTHER ALLLL THE TIME" and starting to pull his dick out

--her: "AHHHH NO--YES? NO!"

--RIDING CROPS!

--so MUCH begging from this man, SO. MUCH. BEGGING.

Hey if anybody is starving for more Ace Attorney you should definitely play Tyrion Cuthbert

It's Ace Attorney in a ttrpg-type world, the rules of magic are critical to each case, strong mystery writing, comes out the gate with a great case 1 and stays good through all its 5 cases (ESPECIALLY case 4 holy shit), the soundtrack slams, and there's a Dahlia-like (in that they're a character you can tell is gonna be an Endgame Problem starting from very early on) who is utterly, utterly delightful to watch

it's on steam.
