is this the Professor Tangrowth origin story
I enjoyed #Psychopomp and knew I wanted to write something about Venus and Mercury, but I wasn't entirely sure what. After checking online, I realized I had more to say about you. Did you even play the game or was it all in your head?
My thoughts on Psychopomp:

We have a cultural problem in the USA that video games and their communities contribute to.
Prosecute and abolish ICE.

For Setsu, the loop in episode 2 likely takes place either immediately or shortly after the first loop in episode 13. They use the oblivious first loop Yuri both to make up for not holding hands earlier and to affirm they've been lovers for a while.
I might go as far to say Yuri seems a little "any pronouns, please refer to me," but with a strong preference for they/them. They're slightly more masculine leaning, but also have no problem getting called a princess at the same time Setsu is against being called a prince.
Shockingly, not a change. That entire last loop was probably the closest to identical the anime's script has ever been to the original game.
The game even has a few other small scenes hinting at the surprise couple reveals before the ending.
A lot of melodrama over the importance of these platforms to the quality of our lives. It's pretty simple:
Do not give Discord your ID.
If you cannot live without Discord, that is a signal that something in your life is going unmet elsewhere.
Make Discord need you more than you need them.
Because the town theme plays everywhere across the island, all my happy villagers get this ominous jingle when coming to tell me they found a cool bug.
Starting a new Animal Crossing island while being obsessed with the GNOSIA anime has led to a fun town theme.
ASTER (hollow vessel)
I certainly have no complaints about getting more Setsu, but in addition to the few big scenes and episodes focused on them, don't Yuri and Setsu also get at least a small scene in nearly every single episode? With the amount of time the anime has, I think they're doing fine.
It's as good as an adaptation can be, which is to say very quite good, standalone, and also a unique take that avoids invalidating either experience. Definitely worth checking out.

but it is on sale right now and it would definitely be a good idea to play it
I have done little to hide my love for this game in the past, but GNOSIA is a roguelike/visual novel. Short rounds of a singleplayer social deduction game where each character's roles and relationships are randomized, but their personalities are not. It's quite chaotic and silly.
Pyre
The best you can hope is that they like Setsu and the others enough to start being more aware of and respectful to nonbinary people. That doesn't make it any less shocking how difficult this is for some people to understand.
I do feel like them changing the joke to be about how seriously people try to criticize storytelling is maybe partially targeted at reactions like this, though.
I still miss the housewives are zombies and hand holding jokes, but that'll be a fun surprise for anyone that picks up the VN after this.
Great news about the Gnosia anime English dub. They have enough NB VA's for all NB characters.
The GNOSIA anime elevates the original story while managing to be an incredible standalone experience. So here is my recommendation on how and why everyone should watch it.
My thoughts on the first half of GNOSIA:

Ten years ago, my story began in #XenobladeX. With the Definitive Edition from earlier this year, I can say with certainty it was my favorite in the series with my favorite Xenoblade story.
My thoughts on a decade of Xenoblade X:

I'm hoping this will be the end of me gnosia-posting until the end of the series. Then I will return to recommend the show again if it continues to be one of the most exciting and fun stories I've had the pleasure of experiencing. (Note: Currently obsessed. I don't forsee it letting me down.)
The way the new #GNOSIA ending reuses the poses of each character to present the duality hidden within them is such a fun design choice. Some personal favorites include Chipie taking on the dirty jobs, Sha-Ming's exhaustion, and of course Yuri being a terrifying mastermind. (read alt text)
Are we at 10 recommendations now? Jake does great work. Always a pleasure to see one of his pieces.
GNOSIA Episode 1: We need to find the werewolf in human form before they kill us all.
GNOSIA Episode 7: A baby beluga whale helps a grey alien navigate his love life. (also there are werewolves)
It's time to watch one of the greats before it was cool.
Four episodes of the new #GNOSIA anime are out and the full premise has finally been revealed. I've been constantly surprised and beyond entertained the entire time, but why?
My thoughts on the deceptive premise of GNOSIA:

#RiskofRain is gone. #DEADBOLT is gone. Hopoo Games is gone.

I may not know who Greg Miller is, but I've learned a lot about how much he'd enjoy Pokemon Mystery Dungeon!
