”i asked chat gpt” okay well i asked orpheus and he just started singing lalalalalalalaaaaaa

kenji after orpheus inexplicably started following him around after the end of p3 and he just accepted the weird spirit thing that looks and acts oddly like his late best friend

Hot take but I don't think games need to tutorialize the player on stuff like "enemies will drop items when you defeat them" like that's just something that I can observe happens with my own brain. I don't need a tutorial popup for that. Stop it.

isn't that what happened to the guy who shot archduke ferdinand

As someone who started playing video games as an adult, yes they should still tell you things like that.

There’s a whole language to video games that a lot of people who have been playing them forever think is common sense but it really isn’t. I’ve gotten lost in one way dungeons before and have played video games for like 12+ hours before figuring out that I was doing the wrong kind of attack this whole time. Because a lot of video games are made for people who already understand the language of video games. If you don’t speak this language and the game doesn’t tell you how to read it, it’s like trying to navigate an unfamiliar city in a language you don’t speak with the top half of your vision gone.

there’s a reason a philosophy of a lot of game devs is “any game could be someone’s first game.” like yes i’m irritated that i have to read about very obvious information for the billionth time. i’m also mature enough to realize i am not the only person alive.

deriding things as performative is anti third space

im sitting on a patio at my favorite cafe rn and im hand stitching them hem of a dress im working on. and i can see why someone would say im being performative by working on something like this in a public space. but frankly theres no element of that. i just want to work somewhere that isnt my apartment. i want to be in public, i wanna chat with strangers, i wanna see the world. it’s nice to hang out somewhere that isnt my home!

what i mean is when you say people are being performative you discourage them from doing shit they love in public. and thats no way to foster the world we want to see.

it’s fucked that makoto’s persona is orpheus when he’s eurydice in the game. also this post furthers my belief that kotone’s persona should have been eurydice rather than fem orpheus.

You can make a movie with where the only white character is a man named Ray Cism whose one line of his 16 seconds of screen time is “I seriously hate women and minorities.” and you’ll find fifty bajillion reader x Ray Cism fanfics and renaissance style drawings of him with a halo of golden light

the sinners and lessons and chemistry experience

nikki breaks my heart so bad because in the brief moments we see her before the wish kicks in, she's so cool and funny, clearly kindhearted, very driven about her future (telling bear about how she was going to quit her job to focus on her writing), and also very sure of herself as a person. ive seen people describe this movie as "mean-spirited" and I think thats so apt because it was a 2 hour long tragedy of the torture of this innocent girl, taking away everything she's ever had, including her own sense of self, putting her through unimaginable horrors, and leaving her with nothing except the three dead bodies of her friends, with the one who she trusted most being the one who did this to her. nothing for her to look for hope in, because she has nothing before her except a lifetime in prison or in an institution. it would be one thing if the movie ended on a note like weapons, where everything was over and there would hopefully be recovery somewhere down the line, but here, not only was the evil not committed by a random stranger but her closest friend, but she doesn't get any chance at recovery either. so goddamn tragic. on that note, if anyone can come up with some sort of fix-it for nikki please link it to me because I will be crying about this girl forever.

the whole movie i was soothing myself saying there would be a fix it for her somewhere

i dislike the whole “horror is so back” narrative people are throwing around recently with obsession and backrooms. both are great movies, but horror was also so back with the long walk. and sinners. and the substance. and nosferatu. and literally anything directed by jordan peele. horror as a genre will always have its flops. but there will always be those few that revive the hype.
