I feel like you could also make a loose connection between the idea that Gnosia are basically a hive mind of human consciousness, and the way that refugeesโ€™ acceptance often becomes contingent on their ability to assimilate into the cultures and customs of the places they wind up.

Does anyone else have a hard time starting up a new game/book immediately after finishing a really good one? I donโ€™t know why it feels borderline disrespectful to just move on right away. Like getting a new pet the day your other one dies. The lack of reflection and processing just feels wrong

Cover of the game Gnosia. SQ, a red haired woman, faces an inverted mirror image of herself, with the distinction that her lower-reflected image strikes a wicked expression. Their mirrored portraits are divided through the center of the image by the gameโ€™s title, Gnosia, in a sci-fi inspired font.

A portrait of Chipie from the game Gnosia. Heโ€™s a brunette young man with short hair, holding a black cat on his left shoulder. The catโ€™s neck is fused with the manโ€™s, causing the catโ€™s head to appear on the manโ€™s right shoulder. The hand propping up the cat is covered with a red glove.

Finished Gnosia yesterday, might be an all-timer for me. Add it to the pile of games made better by a small team with a focused vision. Everything from the visuals, music, sound design, and story work in satisfying harmony with each other. Looking forward to what Petit Depotto does next.

Season 2 has a very bizarre mid-section when Lynch/Frost stepped away to work on other things, but the finale for season 2 is 1000% worth the journey there if youโ€™re willing to stick it out

Thereโ€™s something so endearing about the sticker labels for recordable VHS tapes. Maybe itโ€™s the simplicity of seeing visual media watered down to just 6 categories. Shout out to the generic anime girl repping all โ€œanimated cartoonsโ€

I recently saw a video on the making of megaman 3 where the narrator pronounced keiji inafune โ€œkaiji inafoonโ€. Like, itโ€™s one thing to slip up in an opinion piece (though still lazy) but in a video as research-centric as a gameโ€™s development history? Come on

Absolutely gutted at the news of the pillows officially disbanding, but sadly all good things must come to an end. Even the pillows. Thanks for being the first band I ever truly loved and continued to love and will continue to love for the rest of my life.

So here's what's cool about my job:

Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

Iโ€™ve been reading conversations with Mark Frost about their time writing Twin Peaks together. We truly lost one of the greats today.

Donโ€™t really have any words for this. Tremendous loss for the world of art and boundless creativity. RIP David Lynch

Hearing this soundtrack live really drives home just how phenomenal a job they did with the OST. Queenโ€™s Blood had the crowd going wild (myself included). Additional highlight of the evening was watching Sephiroth pay 10 honest to god dollars for two bottles of water.

You made it to Please Mr. Lostman! Definitely gonna have to check out these other albums if theyโ€™re being grouped with PML. Really been enjoying these posts too, hope you stick with them

Also if theres any other #boktai fans out there that wants another game to play let them know weโ€™re here.

A lot of people who learned about the project while it was in development got kinda lost during the Great Tumblr Collapse of โ€˜18 and the Great Twitter Collapse of โ€˜22

Yeah, I think anything more than what we got in the original release will feel like an improvement. I followed XV from the moment it was announced (vsXIII) and so much of my hype was literally just getting to play the one segment of the story they completely cut out lmao

Yeah, I honestly think getting to explore Insomnia is the biggest draw for me. I was so disappointed when the vanilla edition of the game cut out most of that section considering it was such a big part of the promotion and the โ€œmodern fantasyโ€ vibe.

03.12.2024 18:33 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I think itโ€™s definitely worth a few playthroughs but I donโ€™t know if the new story additions really did much for me, at least not enough to stick with it and get every ending. Rin was a neat idea, but ultimately felt pretty tacked on (much like Sumire in P5 Royal)

I honestly liked FB, but I think the OGโ€™s soundtrack is the superior version (thankfully you can switch between both). The remix mode added a nice refresher for people who knew the original puzzles well, and it fixed some glitches that made completing the original game near impossible, so overall

I havenโ€™t played XV since it originally launched in 2016 but I remember feeling the same way about the characters, they do a great job making the party feel cohesive. Iโ€™ve heard Royal Edition really improves on a lot of the story beats and such, so Iโ€™m curious to check that out at some point.
