This year I’m gonna try to play as many final fantasy games as i can, in order

I’ll probably skip 7 and 7remake because i played 7 like two years ago and I’ve been watching a 7remake playthrough by chip and ironicus. Also no 11 bc it’s a dead MMO. And no 14 (yet) because the whole reason I’m doing this thing is so i can pick up on all the little details and homages that 14 has in it. Also it’s still live service

But everything else is fair game

A bit past halfway through the Metaphor game. I think it’s kinda fallen apart after dungeon 2 and has made Choices in writing for dungeon 3 and especially 4 that I really don’t like

The only writing keeping my interest is social links bc holy shit the story just ain’t doing it for me. Hasn’t for a long while tbh but today was a bit much

There’s parts i do like that are harder to put to words right now. VA is mostly great. Some environments are striking. A few characters are standouts and are in my personal top 10 of all Atlus games (unless the game fucks all of them up later but i doubt it). I mean if i didn’t like any part of the game i wouldn’t be playing still so 🤷

Reblog this and tell me what was your biggest crying over a piece of fiction. You can be vague if you don't want to spoil.

Instead of doomscrolling lately I have been reading my PDFs and it turns out if you do this you learn a whole bunch of stuff. I’m afraid I must recommend it

Even if it tonight ends up a tie we still beat the dodgers twice which is something we don’t typically do so I’m gonna be feeling that joy for a bit 🎣

anyway VtM is tomorrow and BitD session 0 is Saturday so I’m already playing and running more games than most of that subreddit anyway

Constant promotion suffocating any semblance of original blog/subreddit/forum intent sucks. The worst that I’ve seen has actually been here on tumblr and I absolutely noticed when people here started to astroturf the subreddit for anything asking about an investigative game, all around the same time and from accounts who never posted there before and rarely if ever actually meeting the requester’s criteria. It was annoying but technically allowed. This new rule would make that disallowed and tbh I’m still not happy abt it bc someone somewhere found out about their new favorite game from one of those slimy promo comments.

I would rather be annoyed by infrequent roundabout self promo than only ever read about how Stars Without Number is perfect or how DnD sucks for the millionth time. It’s always been that to a degree but it’s also gotten so mean and smarmy the past few years so a lot of the more helpful people have been stepping back (yes I include myself in this I used to like talking to people there and helping them out!) Like forcing people into participation with a mean smarmy argumentative community isn’t the ace in the hole the mods think it is, especially when the actual issue here is that “self promo” includes shit that normal people wouldn’t consider to actually be self promo.

I'm sorry but the RPG reddit community taking their already very strict anti-self promotion and amending it to include any mention of your games in any discussion context is hilarious. I just spent hours scrolling there to see if there's anything worth engaging with that wouldn't get deleted? It's the same repetitive threads over and over. Why have a community about games where people can't...talk about games.

Wow somehow LiS Reunion was even worse than I expected. It’s Rise of Skywalker vibes. Push aside most of what was just established, make an asspull for a favorite character to be here, cater to the loudest fans.

The mystery sucks, the journals suck, the game performance is garbage, the returning DE characters get peanuts, the dialogue is ehh, the performances are hit or miss (Ashly Burch got fucked over even tho Rhianna DeVries does probably the best work in the game) and the final hour is a laughable mess.

I just keep thinking about how tragic queer media can still be good and important, and how this game took a piece of pretty good tragic queer media and basically tumblrfied it. It’s bad fanfic. If it were good fanfic I wouldn’t be so hard on it.

God I hope this is the last LiS game, D9 proved years ago they just don’t have the writing chops for it.

sometimes i think Pitt writers are just pandering to some very vocal parts of fandom in the clunkiest most egregious ways possible
