Rakhmana in Zenless Exilium

a subtle callout video dedicated to some of my friends

"I play video games to reprieve myself from real life."

The video game:

Ramza's gallantry is beyond measure but tempered by his experience seeing the world for what it is as a mercenary under Gaffgarion, he doesn't delude himself into thinking he's above everyone else for having noble ideals.

Ramza keeps running into arrogant arseholes throughout his journey and answered each one of their boastings with his sword. Being the paragon of genuine righteousness, he never once wavered from kindness and empathy.

This was not known to me until just earlier but the WotL cutscenes in FFT Ivalice Chronicles have been redubbed and are tucked away within the Events tab in the Chronicles section. Personally I find Delita's lines were delivered better in WotL.

#ZenlessZoneZero tried to tug my heartstrings with a clever boss mechanic and it worked because I'm a big sentimental sod.

"I'm tempted to get FFT Ivalice Chonicles but I've played the 1997 one and War of the Lions twice already."

"Tell me then, how many times have you seen The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition?"

12 year-old me playing Final Fantasy Tactics: "This Argath guy is an abhorrent, hateful human piece of trash I have ever seen in my life. There's no way anyone can be this disgusting."

Me today observing socio-politics in 2025: "Oh..."

I did not dream the part in Yakuza 2 where Osaka castle splits into two halves to reveal another Osaka castle made completely out of gold before Kiryu gets thrown into a fight against two fully grown tigers and was never mentioned again in the entire saga.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Free speech?
Really?
It cost Jimmy Kimmel his job.

Folks leaving the other site to escape toxicity only to skip escalation and straight up sending death threats to a politically unaware Vtuber for playing a controversial video game is the furthest you can achieve to raising positive awareness to your ideology.

Some people are just sad sacks.

Finding out a Japanese artist I follow on Twitter/X with one the most immaculate analogue illustrations I admired out there quit and went full anti-foreign Yamato-Damashii ultranationalist hate-mongering doomposter is certainly a way to start the morning.

Itch.io delists, bans games under pressure from payment processors and an Australian anti-porn group Collective Shout’s campaign puts the digital platform against the proverbial wall.

This is not just a UK issue
This is not just a SoulMuppet issue
This is not just an itch .io issue

If we don't speak up for this now payment processors will continued to be lobbied into moving the goalposts.

The biggest deception of the year goes to "Goblu Jumps".

You would think you'd jump too, right? It's only sensible.

Well you should've parried.

Conversely, waking up on what you thought is a work day before realising it's RDO is the best thing ever.

My first finished illustration in like...two and a half months 😳

Ok but seriously, after the mad rush to get my prints done before Kaicon back in march, I took a little break from illustrations. Then work kicked my butt. Then I did more small merch things.

Today I learned Murayama Taka is the heroine of a novel from 1963, Hana no Shogai (Life of Flower), which also was adapted into the very first of NHK's long series of taiga drama. It now makes sense why a lot of care is put into her storyline.
