10/10
unbelievably peak actually

i.e. "Hi guys, did you know this is Estelle Bright. She's a bracer from Liberl who was greatly involved in the Aureole incident" etc. etc. I think every now and again is fine, but I think it's okay for some people in the story to not know who other people are

So I think having exposition to fully flesh out characters and a setting and bind them to a story and its central themes is very good and important to some of the best stories ever told. When it gets excessive imo is when Falcom specifically is trying to reintroduce returning things to new players

Playing through Reverie rn

I think a lot of RPGs have the problem of underexplaining setting, characters, and themes and most Trails games (especially the longer the series has gone on) have the opposite problem

It's really, really good. I love the way the characters interact with present day things like historical artifacts, kind of like they're reflecting of human history leading up to its conclusion.

Girls Last Tour

This manga is a vibe and then some

9/10

This episode so good LOL tho Ive said the same about most episodes Ive seen in the rewatch

Calling it surrealist theater is so key, cuz this presentation is also how they present the themes of the show related to gender roles and abusive relationships

Rewatching utena and this show is so incredible when you realize to what degree everyone is FUCKING LYING

Trails to Azure

In all fairness global politics is prolly a lot of prisoners dilemma cuz of uncertainty in how a lot of the actors will behave

This description definitely aint it tho LOL

Foul creature

Finished 13 sentinels

Really appreciated all the different sci fi stories the story takes clear inspiration, including notably the last twist of the story rofl

But also it really started losing steam as the character stories finished and the ending was p unsatisfying imo

7/10

13 sentinels has every sci fi trope ive seen mashed into one game

50-60% in i think

13 sentinels is making a strong case for the most insane story ive experienced in awhile, and im like maybe 20% of the way in

Koopa, when someone asks you this question, its usually asking what food you made specifically

Dry brined my steak last night and goddamn the color on this thing

I havent been on this site as much as I should but tapping koopa on the shoulder would be cool since we play a lot

sometimes you stay up a bit later than you thought because you karaoke at home ROFL

I know how hard it is to control emotional output sometimes, I find a decent number of people afterwards feel bad about having an outburst after they've calmed down a bit

I have this problem too. If they're not being outright antagonistic to me though (i.e. sad or mad at themselves), I like trying to turn it into positive experience and talking about the matches after

Oshi no Ko does a really good job of interspersing its two genres

It keeps both parts of the show pretty fresh

smash twitter is actually too much now
so much grief and so much anger directed at the wrong people

so many people who haven't even been to a tournament, getting coopted by people who have been banned, all trying to destroy something hax tried to be a part of again for the last 3 years

One of the worst parts of low mental health is how I feel like I can only handle it alone

I feel like i need energy to put on any sort of positive face to people i care about

I deeply dislike the person i am when im not doing this

You're a legend man, good luck with all your endeavors moving forward

being an adult means throwing 300 in a hole because you can't remember if you turned off the stove or not

How long are you in LA? No pressure at all, but would be interesting to meet a long time mutual LOL

!!! New SoCal PR time !!!
