Played Freak Circus after seeing it everywhere and hearing a rant from my sibling about the specifics of Pierrots and how the games designs are entirely inaccurate and over anime ified
I wanted to play more just to see for myself and I guess I can see why it got popular cause it has all like the pieces that people like
I can't explain it but pattern recognition clocks that and that's fine I suppose
No it's not like the best writing wise but I think for someone's first few works it's good and I can see a person improving with time
Because of my sibling I know the character types and with that knowledge followed into the game I can see more of the dynamics and meant for them based on the originals
I can see why people like it, but yeah I can also see why my sibling dislikes it. Like that rant went on a while.
Namely their problem was the watering down of the original character types and how they get compressed into anime hot guy clowns to get simped over. And yeah I can get that.
But again I can also understand a person's first big work needing some more practice and the best practice is to do. And well people's reaction to what you put out isn't really under your control.
So yeah that's my take idk if anyone cares but I wanted to put my thoughts down :3
Just got done playing The False Sun and I really liked it, great pacing and vibes and the art was awesome.
My main thing is confusion over the routes. So I played in browser and it had a route tracker but the names didn't coincide with any of the endings I got in game?
And when I was going for 100% some walkthroughs described choices and interactions that didn't happen for me and I am pretty sure I was thorough in my replays and stuff
Could just be me being stupid, it's late and I got fixated so brain not at full capacity, but I'm confused which ending is the True ending just cause of all the conflicting information
Maybe the true ending was the discomfort good writing gave us along the way <3
I just watched the newest Bizly video and it got me excited about the idea of having fun in character for a series I enjoy but genuinely I got anxious so fast looking through options online that I just stopped T.T
Like I'd love to have fun and make a character, but I'm so nervous cause I'm new to rping, I'm worried about having too much thrown at me and expected of me too soon, and I'm paranoid about other people in general so I'm cooked.
Whatever I'll just listen to music and stare out a window and maybe some day I'll be brave and find a safe place to vibe
i think i don't really vibe with most other fans of my favorite male characters is because they usually depict them too much of a man, and i am not interested in men, i am interested in The Character. and i am not saying that they should depict them as women, or nonbinary, or should depict them as feminine, no, not at all. but there's like, you know, you can depict a male character as The Character, and you can depict them as The Man. do you get me? like, i go to the fandom looking for art and fics, and it's just, regardless of his actual characterization, it's all just fantasizing about some kind of an abstract dominant patriarch, wearing my favorite character's face. it may be the most totally-wouldnt-have-normal-relationships (and sometimes even would-literally-abuse-you) kind of guy, and you join a dedicated space for his fans, and all they talk about is how they want to marry and start a tradcore 50s style nuclear family with him. it can be a guy who's arrogance and attempts of domination are explicitly shown to be a facade that hide the fact that he's actually kind of a massive pathetic wet loser, and you go to his fics, and they're all depicting him as a caricaturish daddy dom. at this point it's like, do you even like the character at all, or do you just like The Man, and project this man onto whatever character you find visually attractive? and these people kind of, really really poison actual discussion of the character, who is kind of a fucked up evil person (i only like *those* types, so im talking about them) because they see analysis of the actual character as an attack on their fantasized daddy dom husband, who is actually isn't The Character at all, and is simply a face of the day for The Man
I often face this same issue, of quiet misogyny being perpetuated in fandom spaces and I've found it to be very telling of the person making it. Most of the time these people are horny, ignorant, immature, some mixture of these things and regardless it upsets me. I get mad cause fuck misogyny is everywhere and so deeply saturated that it feels impossible to remove in real life and even things I love and feel for that are fictional are warped by it and ugghhh aaagghhh
Yeah so I have to step back and just stick to my bubble. I'd like to interact more but the times I have and stuff goes bad overshadow the few times I've had good interactions.
I've had to accept that fandom spaces are inherently white centric and misogyny is everywhere, and therefore not for me. I'll be a woke loser in my corner lol
On a good note, I've been playing Resident Evil 9 and I really like it
SPOILER ALERT!!!
I can see the criticism some people had and agreed but after playing the full game myself I find it kinda iffy
I had fun playing the two versions of the series the first person horror RE7 brought and the 3rd person action we've come to see the series as
But if a whiplash between the two lol
I felt the clinic was definitely the strongest area and the other locations didn't have as much like stuff?
Like the zombies didn't have words and aside fork the unlocked 1998 letters we didn't get as much in world insight as I would've liked.
Like right as we pull into Raccoon City east we find an old newspaper and I wish we found more environmental stuff but I can also understand it's been a long ass time
Maybe more so not like papers but stuff on walls, like in the subway I was reminded of SH3 and I vividly remember there was a spot that was blocked off as not playable but the pile of junk vaguely looked like a homeless persons set up and you could kinda see the feet sticking out but you couldn't interact with it at all
The subtle things that were left and just not talked about made it creepier and I would've liked Raccoon City to have had more of that
I made the mistake of playing for the first time in Standard Classic mode so a lot of my resources went into crafting ink ribbons but I think it elevated my gameplay and made it scarier
Limited saves, resource management, it made mistakes more punished and bigger upgrades harder to get or goose between immediate aid
I will say I really liked Grace's parts but the moments with the girl felt a bit too scripted for my liking
Like it made scary moments sure but it made it predictable and I think the scariest games have just programming and less scripted moments
Loved seeing the pretty song ladies but I did have to use my big boy bullet on them like immediately I'm sorry girlie lol
I did though really like all the blood it was just so absurdly much it was stupid but in a fun way
Reminded me of uhhh Evil Within and all that blood and giant meat grinders and bodies everywhere it's just so much but it's fun I really liked it and the moments when zombies would say sad shit
God it must've smelled horrible though I cannot imagine
Loved the crazy guy in the labs that was just like "yay I love experimenting on kids this is awesome"
Lmao what was that guy's deal but also evil people exist and in that fucking world yeah they're gonna click their heels about all the super evil shit they get paid to do
We've seen more and more mention of The Connections who have been in a lot of modern instalments but are still so unknown so I'm excited for next game
Especially since the elite soldiers did manage to secure something not shown ahead of Chris's alpha male squad
The BSAA involvement is more blatant and I figure it must coincide with why Chris left and started his own group
Though I'd really like to know where that leaves Rebecca and especially Jill since she has some hard ore PTSD issues especially with secret corruption in groups she is a part of
And Claire is keen on revealing truths to the public and providing aid to afflicted places so how much does she know?
And WHERES HUNNIGAN!?
What about Jake? He and Sherry's dynamic was so perfect and he was an interesting legacy related character I want to see more of him and know what he doin
We have so many vital players in the game doing all this shit and we got zip on them it's driving me up the wall T.T
On a last note, I liked the detail of Leona wedding ring but making no canonical spouse
I felt with his popularity it was the best way to deal with him and I've seen a lot of people argue already over "real" spouse but that just goes to show vague was best cause people can't handle any one answer
They really said "sure guys all your ships are real and fuck it the OC and self ships are real too"
Ugh hated people saying oh he married Sherry just cause she has a ring too like???
They're older people, that's like the age range to be married, try finding adults that aren't already married
God I hate certain bits of fandoms
And that's why I stay in my corner and talk to myself and everyone in my immediate circle knows my vibe and that's good enough for me <3
Watched new DMC animated show and honestly liked it a lot like I didn't touch my phone for the hours I was binging it which is insane
I think they made Dante too stupid, he's perceptive enough to be a paranormal detective and goofy doesn't necessarily mean dumb
I was a bit confused because I didn't know when the show was supposed to take place but quickly figured this was like this studios specific rendition of the story and world
I missed the crazy buildings present in the world since this one seems more modern and "normal" but I really liked how they added a sort of depth to things
Like in the games the consensus is "all demon bad except that one guy" and that's just it, but the show made it so that we saw a new perspective and more realistic and pragmatic take on demons
Like it's a whole other dimension, it feels weird to dumb it all down to just bad. But having it so that there's societies and different people in power and dynamics with the social classes reflects the morally grey reality of the world
I liked spotting voices, I immediately recognized Batman and I'm 75% sure they had Quagmire in the first episode say a single line on tv
It was genuinely funny, could've been more witty and sarcastic I think but I still enjoyed it
The action was really good, fast and well choreographed with dynamic shots and movements, the animation held up super well
My only main criticism is that Dante feels like a dumbed down version of the games, or like what some guy thinks the character is without thinking deeper
"Haha gun and stupid idiot" kinda shit
Oh, but I really liked seeing Lady given more depth like in game she's a human that just has all this weaponry and shit like where'd you get that?? Plus they talk about her backstory in dialogue but never go more indepth than that so it was cool to see this new take on her character (I love Lady :3)
Don't even talk about season two, I couldn't finish the first
I wanted so badly to be hyped and find good things and I can say I'm sure a lot of good people put in work
But God damn did the writing and the creator screw it all up
The forced message of discrimination is bastardized, the characters are chipped into some cis incel dudes idea of them, the world is entirely turned around just for the sake of stupid edgy "real world" parallels and stupid references
Every day after watching I sat and just further melted into goop.
My opinion is so low and so very disappointed that seeing someone like my very old very beginning take made me go "oh no people can't think I think this anymore"
Fuck man don't even get me started on Vergil, cmon ITS VERGIL and they just aggghh
opposite to girldad leon kennedy who has no actual biological offspring is vergil sparda who has been dragged into fatherhood by his hair because he had sex 20 years ago and he didn’t know the concept of a condom
I keep seeing things described as Tumblr core or a Tumblr thing as like a descriptive but I'm pretty sure it's VERY Tiktok core. Maybe that's how Tumblr people were ten years ago but that's culture and also people were young.
They grow up and mature as a community and currently yeah Tumblr is dead but also the people I see are really talented and actually chill and the people I see described with Tumblr as a descriptive are just cosplaying intellectualism, using therapy words to fill in blanks, and over generalizing and bastardizing real ideas and important things to fit a narrative. Yuck.
Generally though people that are "Tumblr" esque are why I avoid interacting much online. Like I'm on my phone so sooo many hours in a day but I'm like in my corner texting my four friends and posting for myself as the target audience.
I love my phone but like damn do we not have media literacy or common sense???
On the exact day that my sister so happens to have money and is looking through games on the Switch, on that exact day Homicipher was added to switch
God bless my sister for immediately telling me and buying it cause she knew how much I've been wanting to play this game
We then sat up till 5 a.m playing, deciphering, trying different paths and figuring out what was said
I love words and monster boys so I had the best time and my sister got to see how awesome Mr. Crawling is
She did laugh when Mr. Chopped showed up tho smh
I devoured every route and ending and continue to replay because my brain does that with things I really really like and I like just looking at the images and scenes over and over again
I hope the dev makes more games I really liked the handling and style of the game as well as the style
After playing it so much my brain started speaking in simplified general words lol
I think artists are pressured to constantly make content and do so perfectly while everything they do regardless is criticized to hell and back.
If an artist chooses to make an end then it's their choice. If making art became anything but invigorating then that's a tragedy and I'm sad that so much pressure ruined the meaning of what art is.
Denji had a simple dream and desires that were manipulated and slowly lost. He now can finally live as a normal person and not be a constant target or pawn. Let bro be happy and at peace, he doesn't have to entertain and that never was the point.
Sorry I've just seen so much complaining it pissed me off
God forbid we respect people and their wishes and want the best for them regardless of whether it is sparkly or entertaining
This is exactly what Joker 2 was about man cmon ðŸ˜
This was made for MLK day to read to a crowd of white people. They have a tendency to ignore and not truly relate anything to themselves and just pat themselves on the back for listening. Can't be aggressive or they shut down and blame you. This was my way or address if people and making every person have to consider my words in retrospect to themselves.
Put your hands up
(Fun and interactive!)
*CROWD ENGAGEMENT NECESSARY*
Put your hand up if you've gone to a protest for black and brown people
Put your hand up if you've donated to causes to help people or color
Put your hand up if you've used social media to elevate black and brown voices
Put your hand up if you've ever corrected a hateful or wrong opinion by either passerby, coworker, or friend
Put your hand up if you've ever acknowledged that your whiteness is a privilege
Put your hand up if you know you'd be safe in any police interaction
Put your hand up if you've ever tried to challenge the world around you for its hateful views
Put your hand up if any minority, black or brown, gay or trans, disabled or mentally ill, would feel comfortable relying on you as an ally and a safe space
In a sea of white faces, in a designated room signed off on by pale wrinkled hands lording over stolen tribal land, we get a clear view of who is who
Out in the world if you see a gun you must always assume it is loaded and will fire
Even if it's in a holster or a case
Even if it's nice and looks polite
Even if it has on a uniform or follows a code
Even if it acted so friendly to you specifically
It's angering
It's uncomfortable
It's upsetting
It's terrifying
But once these lines are done, you won't have to think about it ever again
How nice it must be to never have to consider all that every day and every interaction
TW for lots of stuff. This is my poetry that I made to get out old feelings. This one I made specifically after seeing a reel of a white man showing some Epstein shit and saying "you're not angry enough"
It made me very angry.
I'm not angry enough?
I've been angry since I was old enough to walk and my mama had to tell me not to walk into the road
Not to let anyone touch me
Not to be alone with men even family
To avoid going out at night
Always stay in pairs
Know what to use as a weapon
Always check for exits
Don't trust strangers
Those words were hammered into my head until they stuck
I've been angry since elementary school
Since I refused to pledge my allegiance
Refused to give respect to a country that killed and destroyed my ancestors
That continue to beat down and torment my people even to this day
I've been angry since puberty and my body was pointed out
Once I was just another kid and now I was a girl
Now I had parts to stare at
Now I had people to judge me
Now my body wasn't my own but an object to be owned
I've been angry for as long as I can remember
Angry at every hateful thing that's so engraved into society people don't even notice anymore
Angry at being seen as less
Angry at being an object
Angry at having a lesser likelyhood of a long life
Angry to be denied basic comforts money and privilege had in spades
And you know what?
I'm tired
I'm tired of being angry
Tired of looking over my shoulder
Tired of struggling and fighting for scraps
Tired of existing at all
While everyone else went about their lives with rose colored glasses I had to know what went on underneath
The monsters that exist because society lets them
The violence and horrors so vile they can't even be said
While others said their greatest fears were spiders and heights
I stayed quiet, because how could I tell them what I feared?
That I feared being taken and tortured, raped and ripped apart, buried in a shallow grave or tossed on the side of a highway
How could I tell them that I worry about these things every day
That I feel remorse and sorrow for every person that suffered already
That I feel the passionate cry for justice, for monsters to face torment and pain and violence they gave
Only to watch as they walked away every time
I've been angry
I've known, I've seen, and I've struggled
I've felt the anger burn out into exhaustion and sorrow so great I didn't want to bother in this world at all
