as far as i can tell it’s basically just flagging SKIN at this point

OH COAXMETAL ISN’T A NIER CHARACTER, I haven’t finished Automata either. the damn. hacking “mini” game is making it almost impossible for me to keep going. 

Coaxmetal is from Planescape: Torment. 

He’s a giant iron golem who was created during the Blood War out of bits of broken weaponry. His purpose is to make weapons. He calls himself ‘pain given expression’ and says he sees the potential - in himself and in raw metal- to cause more pain. And he’s siding with the forces of evil to destroy the universe because... well, more or less, he seems to see existence itself as a prison. 

Like I said... any robot given a cruel and pointless task by an absent/dead creator is my jam. I feel for the guy, even though, left to his own devices, he’d probably screw everyone over.

Haha, it's fine. My pokecraving has subsided over the years :P But yeah, picked one up on Black Friday. Mario Odyssey is AMAZING.

MARIO ODYSSEY IS SO AMAZING YES YES YES

i could chatter about the level design for all time

See that angel on top of the tree?

I couldn’t reach to put her up there myself, so Grandma left the room...and came back with a little red step stool that Grandpa built for her decades ago. 

stab him with it

Ahhh it’s not out here for about a week but now I’m hype

you should be! Be more hype! 

I think most of it is real (I know some of it is just straight-up cockney rhyming slang, like "berk" for instance). also re censorship, I'm not sure "sod-pike" even qualifies as a euphemism, really.

American censors tend to be very ... lax about ‘bloody’ and ‘sodding’, but woe betide you if you say ‘fuck’.
