The Mind of an Okami(-Zero)

Less of a lurker, now, but still reblogging stuff whate'er tickles my fancy. Includes choice bits of my own random ramblings, though I am trying to focus on showing off/working on my OCs. Currently gushing over my WoL (and other peoples's WoLs xD). Am 18+, as is a bunch of the stuff I share, fair warning. PFP by chipper-smol!

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

Can’t believe they’ve made Aye a corporation what has the world come to

Lol, the downside of being a freelancer.

In the event I start earning thousands of pounds from YouTube I will create an Aye media empire and buy art, editing and animation services from people on Tumblr.

chestnut blossom season

[gramadach]

Please excuse my terrible phone camera. I love chestnut trees too and there's a lovely one with very pink flowers along my walk into work

[awordwasthebeginning]

Apologies for nerdery, that looks like a specimen of Aesculus × carnea, which is a different (hybrid) species from OP's Aesculus hippocastanum - both very beautiful though, A. × carnea has the advantage of being mostly unaffected by the Horse-chestnut leaf miner (Cameraria ohridella) (and also of not growing quite as large as A. hippocastanum, making it more suitable for urban spaces).

Pajama shark I have grown quite fond of you

[what-even-is-thiss]

I refer to the protagonist of fallout 4 as NateNora because both the man and woman versions of the character are essentially the same person.

Because they gave this game a voiced protagonist, Bethesda has invited me to analyze the sole survivor NateNora as a person and my analysis says that because it doesn’t really matter much which spouse you choose to literally fridge that they’re one of those couples who have been together since high school and as a result are basically two halves of the same braincell.

Same sense of humor, same homicidal tendencies, same compulsion to collect random magazines.

[what-even-is-thiss]

If you knew Nate and Nora before the apocalypse you probably couldn’t invite one without inviting the other and both of them probably kept the exact same pictures of baby Shaun in their wallets. Not exactly the same person per se, but they’ve been together for so long that if you remove one of them the other basically doesn’t know who they are.

Which is my theory as to why one of the possible first thoughts they have upon being unfrozen to a dead spouse is violence. You killed their other braincell, Kellogg. That was all of their impulse control and you’re about to pay the price for that. They actually have to develop a personality now and it’s all your fault.

[prokopetz]

One the one hand, I basically agree with a lot of the negative reviews that the Kickstarter campaign for Mina the Hollower was not as forthcoming as it could have been about exactly what kind of game they were making, and the end product does feel like a bit of a bait and switch.

On the other hand, as much as I was expecting a retro Zelda-like, the concept of a full-featured soulslike that adheres to the graphical and technical limitations of the Game Boy Color is objectively hilarious, so even if I'm not particular into soulslikes as a genre I feel like I have to give them a pass, because what the fuck.

[aitchdeetee]

I'm a Souls enjoyer so I may be biased but the combination of Zelda and Soulslikes is a more natural combination to me than most people care to admit. I'm thinking of games like Tunic and Unsighted that also leverage this overlap to great effect. To say nothing of the obvious Castlevania (both Classic and Metroid-) influence either.

In addition Mina has made some subtle but key changes (I think altered based on feedback from the demo?) to make things more forgiving, like allowing you to bank your currency and altering the death mechanic. It's not actually a Soulslike corpse run, but more of a safety system. You don't lose resources on death and need to recover, instead you run out of "lives" and the game signals to you, 'ok so that death was free but the NEXT time you die you'll lose everything so maybe go spend your money.' And if people are reacting to the emphasis on actiony combat and difficulty, I don't think we should let Soulslikes claim dominion over that either!

As a lifelong Zelda enjoyer, these games are the types of experiments that push Zeldalikes to evolve and I'm all for them. Even if I grumble about BotW/TotK's larger departures from Zelda tradition, even the main series has clearly moved on from being about low friction action and torch-lighting puzzles.

[prokopetz]

My biggest criticism thus far is that the Bloodborne-style combat-driven health recovery and punishing environmental damage mesh poorly with the GBC-Zelda-style platforming. Falling into pits and spikes takes a huge bite out of your health even in the late game, and by default there's no easy way to recover environmental damage during platforming sequences because you need to fight things to charge your vials, so the frequent die-and-retry platforming puzzles tend to involve a lot of lengthy runbacks. It effectively makes the "reduced spike damage" and "empty vials recover health" trinkets mandatory if you expect to see heavy platforming, and even fully upgraded that's a third of your trinket slots gone.
