thinking about namine and yozora as psychopomps in sora's "descent to the underworld" arcs. castle oblivion and quadratum as his metaphorical underworlds. sora in his second katabasis...............................

are there censorship rules against alcohol or are they just whimsical enough to drink boba milktea in a bar. what does jae lee even need a cocktail shaker for when the ingredients on the table are milk and tea leaves

no okay I just forgot to read the caption. apparently liu xiao really did just want milktea

also, I started playing cyberpunk 2077 this week. initial thoughts:

5h in and I had to restart the game because I think I want to play as female v instead of male v lol

locked in on a corpo backstory. feels like it would be narratively fun

idk how much the game's mechanics will let me, but I'm gonna try my hardest to do a non-lethal stealth netrunner build. basically if I can do a ghost clean hands dishonored kind of run here, but with the help of hacking, I'm golden. so far it's working (except for that one required kill during the tutorial). I know, I know, it's night city, why do I have to try not killing anyone? but I think it just makes the game more fun okay. it's like a puzzle...

it's supposed to be 2077 but it feels like 2035 lmao. the future is near and real and it is dystopian

much like how many games borrow mechanics from other games of the same genre (gachas borrow from gachas, jrpgs borrow from jrpgs), the quest system for cyberpunk 2077 isn't all that different (imo) from games like super-man, gotham knights, etc.

I actually kinda want to read the cyberpunk ttrpg books in the future. I probably won't run them because my tabletop group doesn't like the genre, but I like reading ttrpg books for fun anyway

night city is so expensive!!! I ran around doing gigs before meeting viktor and he just drained all of my hard-earned money!!

[psychopomp-namine]

okay never mind the clean hands run. jotaro shobo needs to die actually

Nomura: Riku doesn't like Namine

Bro legit changed this scene just to prove it and Riku was doing a favor for Repliku 😭 💔

Ngl I used to ship them until they did this

NOTHING is funnier to me than the amount of weird/inconsistent things in KH3 that are theory fodder, and yet that they went back to fix THIS. I am howling.

[psychopomp-namine]

now that I'm playing the original 1997 game, one thing I appreciate about remake is how they strike the balance of, "cloud is only projecting an image of Coolness but he's actually a dork inside, but also him actually caring for people and trying his best circles back around to making him Actually Cool"

of course in the original game, they did not have voice acting or hi-fidelity models and animation, and cloud's personality is something you unravel slowly. but I really like remake's direction of just making it more obvious that There's Something Wrong With Cloud. he's putting up a front. he has more headaches, more flashbacks, more moments of him just not being all there. not so put together as he tries to act. it's very endearing

also now that I've gone through the nibelheim flashback in the 1997 version, I am sooooo excited to see this in rebirth when I get there. the flashback was sooooo fun to go through. I like how barret would interject at some points, or how tifa kept asking cloud if he really did this or that. cloud asking (??) other members of the team if they were okay like he suddenly became an extrovert. the townspeople did and didn't like him! the one guy who called him names but the text color was muted...... the sequence with his mom........... :(

[psychopomp-namine]

okay yeah if I was 13 years old and saw this in 1997, I would definitely think cloud strife is the coolest character ever

[psychopomp-namine]

if I was 13 years old and saw this in 1997, I would have thought sephiroth looked like the coolest villain ever. to be fair, he's still compelling to me as I play in 2026

i have too much joie de vivre for this

[macklesufficient]

i’m so serious when i say excessive fear of being annoying/creepy/taking up people’s energy etc holds us back. it seems like it’s just little things but they add up. over the past month i’ve ordered food and drinks almost exclusively by asking “do you have a favorite?” and i know if i said that on twitter or wherever ppl would dogpile me for demanding emotional labor of servers or w/e but every single person i’ve asked has seemed genuinely psyched to answer! i don’t ask if it’s busy obvi, and use a phrasing that gives them the easy out of “i don’t have one”— but no one has taken it! the girl at the cafe confessed to me with something like conspiracy in her voice how everybody raves about the gluten free chocolate chip cookies and sure, they’re great, but the delicious, fluffy homemade waffles are RIGHT THERE. the barbera the bartender recommended was actually kind of awful but it broke the ice and we ended up talking for like 45 minutes. the bodega guy declared that he usually makes himself a burger but tonight was “a breakfast sandwich night” and tbh he was totally right. it WAS a breakfast sandwich night
