If tenna and icarus met icarus would be pleasant at first but at the first lull in conversation he would tell tenna for the love of god to tuck his tie in and when tenna says no its part of my personality icarus would manufacture a scenario where they get into an elevator and get tennas tie stuck on the door on purpose to teach him a lesson about untucked ties

The test stream yesterday signals to me that World seems very CPU bottlenecked, a game absolutely no one bothered to optimize at Capcom. Aging as it is, this laptop has run more modern, better looking games with a heavier load.

So, if Rise, by virtue of being a Switch title first, is better optimized, maybe, just maybe…

Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I really like Reeve Carney's "If It's True." I understand the criticisms of people wanting that visceral anger and power that Fisher and other performers tend to give, but that's the thing about those performances that I don't love.

To me, it's about interpreting Carney's lack of visceral anger as incredible restraint and hope. Orpheus is so eager. He jumps to ask Eurydice to marry him, he barges into the underworld to rescue her. He's the one who can see the world as it could be. But If It's True is this turning point. This is the moment where his hope is faltering. And this is the moment where, instead of jumping into it, he stops.

Orpheus is driven by hope, by a naivete that bolsters him as he rides along with the breeze. But we see how that harms him. We see how he loses Eurydice. He has to fall, to feel the wind rushing past him, to understand that it isn't the wind that will carry him but his own wings. That he has to believe in his song, but that he also has to remember the people around him.

So for once, he doesn't immediately run off. Instead, he urges on the workers. Lifting himself up, yes, but this time bringing the others along with him. He is angry, he is hopeful, he wants to save Eurydice, to finish his song, to restore the seasons. He's feeling all of it, and he finds his hope again, but this time he knows how to wield it. Not to get caught up in a lofty dream, or carried away by emotions, but to take what he knows and forge it into something stronger, something grounded.

Something different this time... aha

All my greekmythos rewrites are defined by one main curse or struggle relating to their tragedy, namely:

Icarus, bearing wings, yet incapable of flight. The wax has melted into his skin, blurring the line between mortal and divine; man and myth

Narcissus, who wounded others greatly with his words, disregarding the sanctity of love—is doomed to experience all the longing/yearning of every heart he has broken

Oh yeah and they're yaoi
