I don't think there's any more immediate red flag that a creator I like may be a piece of shit than getting the 1-2 of "announcing they've broke up with their partner/separated from their spouse" into "getting really into the gym/working out"

Like Arceus managed to have a late game/post game that felt super strong and expansive, ZA just gave me this feeling of "Oh. Guess I'm done now" that I'm REALLY worried will be solved by making the 70 dollar game 100 dollars total with all the cool post game shit being in the DLC

And that's Pokedex completion. Man this game was so strong in so many ways, but you can REALLY feel the limitations of setting it not only in Kalos (where there's no fucking legendaries), but also only in lumiose (where there's REALLY no fucking legendaries

Y'know, Z-A is a worthy follow up to X&Y, because having reached credits now all I can think about is how underwhelming the post game is and wondering where all the legendaries are

Anyways game good, Arceus better

Honestly overall I like the Z-A cast. I don't think they're as memorable or good as the Arceus cast, and I don't think I'd put any on a shortlist of best Pokemon characters, but I don't think any have been truly forgettable besides Phillipe, and that's just because Corbeau is legit interesting

I would die for Jacinthe. Love her. What a gender. I wish she was allowed to speak in cursive like she clearly wants to

Tbh I jumped in because a YouTuber I sorta like made a short that sold the concept well, and it happened to be on sale. Legitimately the only time I'm ever happy to have listened to a YouTuber because it's on my shortlist of "games that knows exactly what they want to be and accomplish it perfectly"

Honestly the best part of the Gnosia anime is regardless of it's quality, is now both getting merch, and is way easier to try to recommend the game to friends, and that's a net win in my eyes

So this is just legitimate ragebait. The context was specifically about expanding the Nintendo IPs and the Nintendo Museum where they can see and use old hardware. Here's the question and answer

LEGENDS Z-A SPOILER THREAD:

y'know i really should've expected the game to pull a No More Heroes 2 on its progression, but ill be real for as much as doing the same cycle 20+ times would've sucked shit i am a little disappointed just how quickly they skip you up to Near The Top for plot reasons

Legit think the final few objectives and true ending of gnosia are like... all time goats for me. i legitimately do not think i've ever seen something that high concept pulled off that well outside of a couple of uchikoshi twists. really really interested to see how the anime handles em

“If only I knew where the sky was!”

Rinoa :

Insanely excited to see Sanda getting popular, solely because I know what happens in that series and I'm so so hyped to watch in real time as most of its audience gets obscenely hard filtered

I think I may need to get over my illusion that leaving retail will magically fix my life and magically give me good habits, but also holy shit I am still definitely sure it'll help

"This year has gone by so fast!" No fuck you this year has been like... At least 4 years. Anybody who feels like the past 10 months have been less than a year are insane.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

coming to the horrifying realization that the biggest source of nostalgia for my early 00s childhood is fucking infomercials. got recommended the Betty Crocker Bake'n'Fill infomercial and fell down a rabbit hole of 2004-2007 infomercials, and i remembered ALL OF THEM. VIVIDLY.

average crew raqio day 1 results

fun midnight fact: when discussing this game with a friend i will only ever pronounce raqio's name as "ratio" because they are the exact type to pull the "im not owned" shtick on social media every time they say something slightly cringy and get dogpiled by people getting 4x the interaction

I'm pulling tricks with my Sega Genesis that would make Hiroshi Yamauchi rise from the fucking grave just to shit himself

YUFFIE YUFFIE YUFFIE

Exactly what I was hoping for this series is gonna be Not Shit

Kinda curious... What pronouns are they using for Yuri? No joke I've legit been planning on basing my prediction of the series's quality by what pronouns Yuri has

the fact that the postgame only keepsakes reward you for Not Rigging Builds and let you spiral out of control is also a great touch. The choice between higher, more unpredictable power and lower, more consistent power is a legitimate great way to get me thinking

I'll be honest, i think Hades 2 is somehow even easier than Hades 1 overall, and i think its because while 1's most broken builds were usually based around defensive play and reaction, 2's most fun builds reward you for playing like a fucking gremlin and weaving around enemies spamming attacks

up to the point of postgame hades 2 content where im doing Ludicrous Levels of Fear. legit think im gonna stream some attempts at the third Gift of the Veil level fear runs because i fucking love this game lmao

The funny memes have lied, I have not had my "oh shit" moment

Yeah, I'm feeling confident the ediblle wasn't shit
