Random thoughts on the Assassin's Creed series that is part of my hot take is that despite people labelling only the later games to be "RPG games", mainline Assassin's Creed is more RPG than people would think, at least if you look past the notion that Levels are mandatory for RPGs to be called RPGs and realize a lot of video games not labelled as an RPG in general (not all) are secretly RPGs that uses algebra to pretend that there aren't RPG numerical stat values present at all.

Played Neptunia Rebirth1 for the first time. It was cute... and then I went to Rebirth2 and a bit of the original PS3 version of Neptunia and uh...

Random Dragon Ball thoughts because the Moro arc anime announcement got people discoursing over Bardock again but there are some things I wanna bring up. Disclaimer: I like Super Bardock but I also like Z Bardock for what he's meant to be for his story.

Rewatching Kingdom Hearts cutscenes in Japanese and hearing Vanitas can really be described in Genshin terms as "what if Wanderer and Cyno swapped bodies?" now that Genshin brainrot has taken over.

Birth By Sleep was my first KH game. I played Ven's story first purely because the prologue put so much spotlight on him. There was no Sora or Roxas bias. So imagine my surprise when I saw the original Blank Points secret ending for the first time, seeing Roxas, Xion and Axel in Twilight Town. My first thought? "Huh, who are these people with Ven?" and looking back, that's actually really funny. Without looking at the wiki, I just end up thinking how Ven would end up with those new friends of his, forgetting Lea's existence enough for me to not notice him and Axel look similar.

So I've been replaying KH1 but this time, I'm playing the PS2 version for the first time, emulated on an android phone. I didn't have a PS2, my cousins did. I have the original Xbox instead. Also the emulation is pretty good. There was no problem. But that's not what the main point I want to make here.

Digimon Story Time Stranger is a really good game. Certain negatives like the Digifarm situation with not being able to check for evolutions there is a thing but anything else I wanna go into spoiler territory

Long before we get lore updates from Genshin that reveals the Player Traveler and the Abyss Sibling were separated from each other through time, I once had a different thought, without any real evidence to back it up, about how Aether and Lumine were separated from each other. Thing is, when Nahida confirmed that the Irminsul for some reason has records of the Abyss Sibling when it shouldn't have, this, alongside the whole "fake sky" thing as well as how I understood certain aspects of Teyvat has the me at that point in time (or maybe it was when a Fontaine thing randomly presents the idea of a time loop thing or maybe it was circles or something, I don't remember) consider that maybe, the "Abyss Sibling" is actually not the same "Missing Twin" as who the Player Traveler is looking for. A planet "split" into two (in the Kingdom Hearts way of not being as literal) was the idea I had in my head, trapped in a big ol diorama within the larger Honkai cosmology. Player Aether in one, Player Lumine in another, while copies of the other would be made natively, thus why they would be in the Irminsul's records. Asmoday splits herself into two Paimons to accompany each Traveler.

I can't believe I'm thinking of a Wriolette headcanon because if the NeuviFuri shippers can get away with joking about Sedene having to deal with all the "noise" coming from the office and keeping people away from it, then I'm pretty sure I can imagine Sedene being confused over the noises coming from Neuvillette's office when Cacucu is there during the 5.6 Fontaine event is actually because it's not the SAME noises she's used to hearing whenever Wrio comes to visit instead of her being completely oblivious.
