unlike 7th gen video games i am very ready to defend brown ass sepia ass anime from the early 2000s as they hit on a feeling of urban desolation so well
go back to play it again and it becomes so clear that p3's calendar system was specifically made for itself and retrofitted into a repeatable formula later. it feels so at home here. things feel so plodding, but it passes by before you know it. all you have left are memories

it's always 2010s moe anime too, rarely do i see like, i dunno gunbuster or death note or some shit
racist christian moe pfp is such a ridiculously specific sect of twitter it's hard to believe it's even real
i feel like that's what stands out about the very late 90s and early 2000s in anime, the melancholy. i always think of it in terms of the fear of losing yourself in a rapidly expanding world
@UltimaShadowX
🗿🗿🗿in the remake survey, p3 and p3 came in joint first place with p1 right behind.
i'm just gonna sit here and cope with the idea that if p3r does well, they'll do p1/2 as well 🗿🗿🗿
as a kid if you were a zoomer with little access to games but the computer smarts to figure out emulation then there's a good chance that it's literally what you grew up with. mario world is not something i had to go back to, that's literally just what i was playing at 11
people on this website never understand the player psychology aspect of games. a optional challenge is less appealing to the exact kind of person who'd be interested in it if they know the game gives you an easy option to trivialize it!
what the fuck
they just let you retry? why would they change that?
then what's even the point of the gauntlet???
All the tension I was feeling is just gone now lmao
what pisses me off about smtv the most is that the broad strokes ideas behind the narrative are so cool. it's a power struggle for the cultural relevance of myths, in a world which now is no longer so vulnerable to christian missionaryism and is open to being painted by any brush
modern fire emblem (sov is a remake so it doesn't count) has been so bad about making its cast feel varied, like three houses has reason for making the entire principal cast students (mostly royals), fine. why is almost every fates & engage unit a royal or one of their retainers
genuinely in awe at how much worse this is. the production issues and lack of punchiness that i swear every reload track has aside, azumi's singing generally being a good deal flatter than kawamura's is /so/ apparent here. good lord what happened to the sound team on reload

Yes, I'm very sure that this one extra minute of "improving one's life situation" would've helped a lot, maybe even turned around her entire life!
@Shock_and_Roll
it's 2025, the new smash bros is out. totally new gameplay, reworked movesets for everyone, massively cut cast. there are like 3 fire emblem characters. smashers are still mad.
reload fans makes me feel like i'm talking talking to a bunch of 12 year olds with how much they seem to be in disbelief over someone preferring the original version of the game. it's on the ps2 man not the fucking magnavox odyssey
shoutouts to the twewy shopkeepers who get a crush on neku once you max their friendship guage out. it works with the story because maxing the guage is way too costly before postgame, which means that they have a crush on post character development neku
I feel like everyone in life is fated to have that one extremely minor NPC or side character that they get obsessed with only to find out later that next to nothing exists of them online and they barely get any official recognition.

bowser
that's right... the mighty king of koopas enters the list dead last. not because he's bad mind you, it's because everyone else is better! still, bowser's an iconic part of gaming history, going to show that nintendo's got some edge despite being for kids

jodio has such an interesting temperament, one minute he's kicking ass, then he's calmly talking about the Mechanism that is trust within communities and the universal inevitability of him balling. and then he's like "yeah the drip she makes is actually goat kino raw fire"
@HeyItsScrappy
because that's life you know? time isn't always so accommodating. but regrets or no, the value to your life while you were here can't be denied. live it to your fullest, or don't, i'll still think back to those Memories of You...
roundabout in jojo was such a huge meme that lasted so long i think ppl may have forgotten how fucking amazing it actually was when it was used in the show
@MatttGFX
2 billion is a fuckin lot so they'd take up so much damn space that all the pokemon would die of overheating probably and the ones that would survive would get crushed under the weight of the rest
lions would die too but 2 bil > 898 so more likely that at least one survives
@spuuky
this. game. sucks. dragon ball z dokkan battle is one of the worst games i've ever spent a hundred hours on, it's just clicking bubbles until animations play!! those animations are nice and all but the power creep is fucking crazy and it's boring. i only ever played it because th
@battlehuntz
this convo didn't make much sense to me because even in gaiden alm has clair, delthea, silque and mathilda on his side. why would he be surprised
@armormodechang
zenkichi's fucking awesome. the kicker is that he's a cop and a lot of his arc has to do with the fundamental issues with policing systems lol
i think guel works well partly cause he isn't the protagonist. not getting to see him all the time means that you remain curious about where his horrible fortune will next lead him, and he's sort of a "hero of another story" which gives his parts an interesting tone
Been seeing alot of talk about how G-Witch would've been better off if Guel was the protagonist. Personally, I don't follow with that opinion and I think going with Suletta as the MC is as fine as is.
Its kinda like saying Emma should've been Zeta's lead instead of Kamille.
@UltimaShadowX
the scene where aqua necklace gets inside josuke's mom and josuke pulls out a bottle, punches his mom through the stomach, breaks the bottle, fixes it to trap aqua necklace and then heals her on the way out happens in like 5 seconds, IT'S SO SICK
@Neifiris
they also took away the borders between account lists which makes things feel unclear at a glance for no good reason
minimalism can be fine but why run counter to basic design sensibilities
not that he didn't have issues with this especially early on but i really think that tomino's far better than most of his contemporaries at making women feel like actual people within his stories
so easy to see shakti's story as one of a damsel getting caught over and over but-
fine, proper wishlist:
- no calendar shit, none
- atmospheric accuracy, if it doesn't feel like a period piece then it's not worth it. they should feel of the times and p1 in particular should feel properly moody
- original ost for p1, not even remixes just the original ost

It's truly amazing just how many people believe they intimately understand a culture because they've got a lot of experience with just about one facet of their entertainment.

@FallDrift
You know, I prefer more fantastical and stylish aesthetics over the gritty realism a lot of western games go for, but this is fucking pathetic lmaoooo
these games have almost nobody not of a high social standing. it seriously hurts engage's standing as a "celebration game" when it doesn't have even one single case of talking to a red unit to recruit them.
@0t0m001
i'm not saying that they all have the same subject matter, that's just the vibe they give off to me. i'm more saying that this look is good at getting across that feeling and other similar feelings
and governments abuse it for their benefit, chaining the boundlessness of the soul down to some lasers and shields to throw around in a battle
newtypes are so insanely critical to what gundam is!
The entire "Americans racebend gods and its disrespectful" coming from weebs is always hilarious to me because I have to live with these two being of the biggest representations of Quetzalcoatl in japanese media
i wonder what would have happened if one of the first big gaming youtubers was brazillian and spoke english. would the sega master system be well known as one of the classic systems of the era worldwide?
this person probably just had a moment of existentialism and decided to draw this in 10 minutes cause they thought it'd be funny and every single annoying person online decided to band together to qrt 😭
@fortayee
i like the majority of the stuff they announced but this stood out to me, like literally why? isn't exploration and learning the layout the point, the bird's eye view should be enough assistance
god's death at the hand of lucifer signals the opportunity for the cultures buried by abrahamic might to regain their Knowledge, their cultural force of will and bring about a world anew. focusing on the nature of myths and the roles they've played in human history is raw
@maritimoid
there's some people assigning like the whole ass greek alphabet to all kinds of fetishes. with omega males and the omegaverse i frankly think a letter as cool as omega does not deserve this kind of abuse
okay i don't super care about ragging on people like this and don't have a horse in the race really
