Do you think, in your veterinary opinion, that Bobi, the world's oldest dog, really was that old?

I think to be in the Guinness Book of World Records there has to be some pretty good proof of the animal's age, so it seems to be real as far as I know.

Odd that I'm seeing this brought up as a criticism rather than praise for once but... Yang... isn't butch. That is nowhere even close to how a butch woman looks. The very first Google result for "butch women" is already a great comparison for how she really isn't butch.

Since you're mentioning her having more traditionally "masculine" interests, the word you're looking for is "tomboy." She's a tomboy. She's not butch. I think you're conflating how often the FNDM erroneously calls her butch or makes her actually butch in fanart with how she's actually depicted in the show. That, or you're confused about what "butch" itself means because it's not as simple as "being the man" in a sapphic relationship; a woman having masculine interests does not a butch make, y'know? Yang's interests being more traditionally masculine while Blake's are more traditionally feminine doesn't make one butch and the other femme either. Which is why it's annoying when people praise her for being "butch rep" because she's not. But it's odd to see "RT made her butch" as a criticism in turn because, well, they didn't.

My apologies if I used the wrong terminology. Queer history is still something I'm learning about, being from a very conservative environment.

You're right, Yang isn't a butch. But my whole argument lies in the fact that RT is enforcing really heteronormative traits and dynamic in her queer relationship with Blake, where neither of them were made to be as they are now.

Blake was the more "traditionally" masculine of the two, and Yang was known as the girly party girl. It's very, VERY jarring to see that this dynamic gets swapped seemingly out of nowhere. And from the known record of Miles Luna's fetishization of his ex who voices Blake, Arryn Zech's bisexuality, it comes off really gross.

I can go on for days about how Blake is infantilized. But thank you for the correction.

So anyway how was Xenoblade 3 for you? For me it was the best Xenogears remake I could've asked for.

Definitely my GOTY - I had my share of quibbles with it (it definitely felt like it blew its narrative load prematurely with the end of chapter 5/beginning of 6, and a lot of the consuls felt very undeveloped and monster-of-the-week), but on the whole, it really felt like a synthesis of the best aspects of previous Xeno games wrapped up in a bundle of QoL improvements. It leaves me really excited to see what those crazy bastards at Monolithsoft cook up next, because they’ve been on a roll in the last ten years in terms of iterating on previous projects without slavishly rehashing them. Probably won’t be until Nintendo’s next console, but I don’t mind waiting given the alternative.

Both Guilty Gear and the Lunar series I have only played one game in. And both I have only played the most hated game in the franchise which was maligned for massively shifting from the normal game as well as general poor quality. Funny how that worked out.
