dawntrail discourse is so miserable where you can be like "wow I've really enjoyed this raid series" and someone will be like wuk lamat kicked my dog

"this deep dungeon is fun" did you know that there was a bad voice line read in the msq

I'd say the most important takeaway is that at no point is anyone actually making fun of the guy who made the original. It started as a guy asking the internet for help and as far as I'm aware it hasn't gotten corrupted beyond that.

Basically: "redraw frieren from below" became an artist trend, plenty of artists jumped on it to help or just because they like to jump on artist trends, it reached official artists for the anime who respond with their own renditions and instructions and now the original is the pfp of her seiyuu.

It's less about the angle itself and more about a combination of culture and the response.
Art styled like that is by pure coincidence a part of Japan's sense of humor.
It mainly got spread because artists wanted to legitimately help with their perspective on how to draw such a difficult angle.

the Doodle's name was localized as ZUL, but in japanese its name is 博麗の巫女 (Hakurei no Miko, literally "Shrine Maiden of Hakurei)

Further fun facts: Reimu was also a hidden extra boss in Graffiti Kingdom's predecessor "Magic Pengel." As Magic Pengel was released ~5 months prior to embodiment of scarlet devil, this + her unique attack is the actually the first appearance of both her new design and Fantasy Seal.

I do think swsh deserves more credit or less panning than it gets, but I'm not a stranger to having unpopular opinions.

The best I have as far as a thing to discuss here is that I don't have a lot of love for black and white myself. It feels like so much is riding on N that if you don't really find him to your fancy most of the game writing-wise ends up being kind of a wash. That's what my experience was like anyway.

I know how to make this look good in my head, and it's having a diagram that looks like basically the arrows originating from wind and earth (skipping one, pointing at the next two) repeated in a circle. what's getting in the way of that is Wind and Water beating the same elements.

I don't know what the big mystery is over the Louvre Heist.

It's pretty obvious to me who the culprit is. There's only one person it could be!

Absolute uncertified behavior. (3/3)

I assume you mean Galarian?
If it were up to me I'd follow the charizard and mewtwo convention, call it Mega Slowbrow G

"They wanted the job to feel more like the character the job was invented for (Edgar FF6)" Is also pretty accurate and succinct.

Not my picture but my god this EXACTLY sums up why I'm so done with goddamn internet discourse. Everyone feels they have to have a take. It feels like people are seeking out negativity rather than just... enjoying what they do like.

I genuinely don't wanna be around people who act like this anymore

Everyone, please get to know the super great game: "Fantasy Maiden Wars"｜JAKE Hello, world. I'm Zyake. I'm born and raised in Japan, and just your average video game nerd. First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for opening this page. And if you can...

this japanese blogger is so hype for the english language release of fantasy moon wars that they translated their past blog about the game for fans abroad

Now that's an endorsement

Oh, I must know what my sub-1 score is going to give me.
*checks notes, adjusts glasses*
best I could find is... the user score on metacritic for whatever this is.

I love playing loki.

A reminder to take time to step away from social media for a bit if the world is grinding you down

First correction is that it's a 2-week trial.
Launching the launcher launcher is done through the PlayOnline launcher, and navigating the menus of that launcher felt like going through the menus of the original .hack again.

I downloaded FFXI and poked at its 30-day free trial for a little bit once at the start of 2024. It was a very strange time with its 3 layers of launcher required to run the game. But both the launchers' UI and trying the game itself came with a very comfy level of old game jankiness for me.
