Athenaeum

I meant omniscient, but like honestly both. My boy tools. my barbies.

I don't even Like romance where one character is intended to be the audience proxy husk. That's why Kamil Estinien is the ship of all time, I can play touys as 3rd person omnipotent fujoshi

I remember I tried it out of curiousity, and then immediately put it down when I realized they do indeed have that young woman front and center as the Main Character Audience Proxy. No offscreen ambiguous protag. Nothing left to the imagination. absolutely NO fujo-ing allowed.

Imagine the kind of cashmoney Love and Deeps*pace could pull if they allowed yaoi

I was going to say 'why do you all sound like vtubers' before remembering they do indeed tend to. Employ a lot of streamers.

Genshin has had exclusively American voice acting since the beginning for localized ENG I know this but it's like SO jarring to me every time. Why do you all sound American. Why do you all sound 18-25 years old.

I've always played Genshin in CN, so whenever I swap to ENG out of curiosity while reading character profiles I'm like "Why are you American"

The way the cat is covered in dog hair…..

Kamil Estinien

I say that as if this thing isn't a staple in his wardrobe. He ALWAYS has one nip out on at least one of his glamour plates

back at it again with 1 (one) nip out

to this day I still do not know how to do Everkeep (the trial) because like. I just followed Estinien the whole time in that one.......

Gaius: Quit your job Estinien: Why Gaius: Join my emo band

that one scene in shadowbringers

Anyway, I need to acquire the Gay Frog getup for my elf asap

It TRULY is like a bad writing/bad reading comprehension cultural cycle rn. Like they figure it's easier to serve immature, slop narratives, since loads of people don't want to make the effort to chew on good writing anyway 😭

I'm not just digging at DT this time, among it's many sins I am never ever letting TotK live down the "Secret Stone? Demon King? :o" sage cutscenes they recycled FOUR separate times

it's like games from 2023-2024 collectively contracted a disease of 'they are going to repeat information you were JUST told verbatim, ad nauseum, because they don't trust the player to retain information'

The Heavens' Ward (ffxiv) 🤝 The High Halls choir gauntlet (Silksong)

13-20 liturgical assholes ganking you all at once

Whenever I have to bulk craft tisane in xiv, I am just always thinking about how much sugar and caffeine Kamil definitely pours into his bespoke brew.

'tisane is a herbal tea' you knowww Kamil's recipe is spiked with redbulll. It's probably not good for the baby, swigging one every 14 minutes to keep the CP buff up.

Can't believe Kamil will eventually have to forgo drinking craftsman's tisane when he's pregnant. He'll just have to craft things raw....

Kamil

tbf sometimes in ER you still do get the sick satisfaction of 'if the impact doesn't kill them, the residual lava will'

'Elden Ring still has it in the form of magma shot'

It's not the SAME all-in-one tactical nuke that you can lob at bosses with your bare hand

I miss her (Dark Souls Great Chaos Fire Orb)

‘Dog in Mourning’ (Henry Bacon), ‘Faithful to the Last’ (Briton Riviere, ‘Found’ (Walter Hunt)

Highly specific genre of Kamil Estinien paintings…

IKR like why....... they ruined a perfectly good 90s mech suit.....

This train of thought started because I remembered that sick af mech suit they stuck on Mewtwo in the first movie. Remember that thing.

Me, insane: Kamil and Sacha have like a Mew and Mewtwo thing going on (whimsical little cat guy and his 7-foot-tall purple goth homunculus son)
