I need someone to make a video essay about Robot Alchemic Drive because this game is a specific kind of weird where there's got to be a story about why it's like this. a juicy one.
okay wikipedia says they made the engine for a canceled giant-robot anime tie-in but then made their own story, but that seems like just the surface.
This game is so weird. The plot is expecting you to be a big fan of 1970s mech anime (for a 2002 PS2 game), it's a visual novel with WAY too much voiced dialogue, the voice acting is profoundly shit, and then in-between hours of dialogue you fight giant robots with your giant robots, but you have to do it from the perspective of a highschooler who doesn't even get inside the robot. she just has to find a good vantage point and control her robot remotely.
The dialogue itself is... the protagonist befriends a homeless elementary student, who then turns against you when she learns you, too, control a giant robot, just like the one that killed the student's grandma.
Then some lady shows up and starts yelling about how all these robots are too expensive and now you have to to watch the budget while protecting tokyo from giant robot attack.
also the story starts with establishing this is an AU where all the astronauts died. all of them. as soon as you leave earth, you die. There is no life in space, there is no life possible in space, you can't even travel through space.
Then we fastforward to some "modern day" and the alien invasion begins.
Also despite this being a completely-voiced game, it lets you pick from three protagonists: two male and one female. They're all voiced, and this never matters for dialogue.
This game is some of the Most Japanese media I've seen and yet they released it in North America like 3 months after Japan. What? Who thought this would sell? (it didn't, reportedly)
Also the game has two control schemes you have to pick from at the beginning. One of them is "press forward to go forward" and the other is "you have to alternate pressing R1/R2 and L1/L2 to move each of your robot's feet individually".
Please. I need to know why this game is like this. There HAS to be a story there .

at some point we gotta acknowledge that getting the majority of your news and takes and general opinions from tumblr is not meaningfully different than getting it from tiktok even though on here it's in textual form. understanding the world through the lens of viral videos vs understanding it through breathless unsourced text posts written by dykeastarion69

BIG WIN FOR PALESTINE.
The United Nations General Assembly adopts a Palestinian resolution calling on Israel to end its occupation by an overwhelming majority:
124 states voted in favour, 43 abstained, 14 voted against.
Israel is finished. The world recognises its apartheid and genocidal regime.

Overwolf (Who owns Curseforge) is an israeli company which is supporting the genocide in palestine and funding the IDF
Tumblr media
Dont use curseforge anymore.
For downloading game mods: If it's Minecraft, use Modrinth instead, for any other games use gamebanana or nexusmods.
The original tweet appears to have been deleted. and im unable to find it on Archive.org, but the tweets are still indexed by google.

They're still openly raising money for Israel, though instead of the IDF in specific its just general "those affected by the Hamas attacks"

the solution to having hard-to-debug stuff is to just put really huge obvious placeholder text that gets cleared under normal circumstances, so it's immediately obvious if something got fucked up

non-voters and third party voters going around claiming "voting to save yourself is privilege" is actual literal emotional manipulation. it is the epitome of privilege to throw your vote away in hopes that the rapture, excuse me the "revolution," will come faster because you think you're going to survive it.
it takes an INSANE amount of privilege to think you would survive a second donald trump presidency.
if anyone tries to shame you away from voting because you're afraid of dying if trump gets re-elected, just know they are certain they would survive a second trump presidency.
