The video game industry has reached a point where it would legitimately be a more shocking twist if the surreal post-apocalyptic hellscape wasn’t a psychological puppet show representing the protagonist’s ambivalence toward fatherhood and the obligatory big weird skullmonster really was just a big weird skullmonster.

Huh, I must have missed that part of the Kirby and the Forgotten World trailer.

[prokopetz]

The Kirby franchise has always been refreshingly literal in this respect. Like, yes, you do kill God at the end, but it’s not a metaphor for anything, and then Kirby goes home and has pie. More games could stand to learn from Kirby’s example!

if she’s your girl then why does her leitmotif appear in part of my battle theme :/

[metaknights-halberd-insurance]

one of my favorite smash facts is that out of 36 different damage effects consisting of relatively normal stuff like: fire, poison, sleep, electric, ink, stun, etc.

theres also this

theres nothing differing it from standard attacks youre just blessed with the honor of getting your skull crushed by a hammer from the king

Concept: Chronicles of Darkness style hidden-world political urban fantasy, except instead of vampires versus werewolves it’s sports anime protagonists versus magical girls.

#the daywalker … magical sports girl…. (via @notverybrightraven​)

[karl-the-not-so-great]

And sports wizards are those little feckers from Inazuma Eleven

[prokopetz]

Nah, those are still sports anime protagonists – they’re just really high level sports anime protagonists. To carry the premise’s internal logic forward, sports anime protagonists with bullshit super powers are the setting’s equivalent of vampire elders!

Now, if you want to bring mages into the mix to complete the Chronicles of Darkness parallel, that’s an interesting question. Given that sports anime protagonists are standing in for vampires, and magical girls for werewolves (with our hypothetical sporty magical girl being the equivalent of some powergaming weirdo’s vampire werewolf character, of course), what popular anime protagonist archetype is our mage equivalent? Remember that they don’t necessarily have to be literal wizards in the source material, in the same way that our vampire stand-ins don’t necessarily drink blood and our werewolf stand-ins don’t necessarily turn into wolves.

I actually quite like the slice-of-life anime protagonist option. Breaking it down:

They fit neatly into the “mage” slot in the setting’s implicit hierarchy of ass-kicking: i.e., vampires/sports anime protagonists – powerful all the time; werewolves/magical girls – ordinary in human form, ungodly wrecking machines while transformed; mage/club member – ordinary all the time, relying on special gadgets or techniques to compete

They also fit the setting’s implicit social milieu; not only do school clubs’ topical spheres of interest create a natural parallel to mages’ tradition/foundation structure (i.e., as opposed to werewolves’/magical girls’ pack structure and vampires’/sports anime protagonists’ strength and charisma driven dominance hierarchy), but the ridiculously powerful student councils they inevitably end up sparring with can readily stand in for exarchs/technocrats

Club kids’ shenanigans are the most plausibly deniable as improbable applications of merely mundane skill, paralleling mages being the group that has both the greatest ability and the greatest need to pass themselves off as mere mortals

They readily encompass many of the more specialised suggestions from the notes, like cooking anime protagonists and the casts of Cute Girls Doing Nothing shows and such

(Also, on a purely personal level I like it because it means the Eizouken kids end up in the mix; I trust I don’t need to explain why that’s a selling point!)

yknow i saw an article that was like “robert pattinson standing strong against the batman hate! :)” and im like. you fools. you absolute clowns. don’t you know who you’re dealing with? you realize this is the man who waded through all of the twilight hate? with stride? basically brushed it off of his shoulder immediately? even as a non twilight fan in the early 2000s i knew this man would never succumb to the words of the simple minded. batman criticism means nothing to him. he cannot be defeated now. youve cast the perfect impermeable wall. he’s too powerful and we’re at his mercy
