And for tonight's stream, we're playing the closest thing that exists to Lost Kingdoms 3 - Folklore on PS3! 7PM UK time, over on twitch.tv/BrokenArcFae

Folklore concept art with my Vtuber chibi sat on one of the chairs, sipping their drink.
It reads "BrokenArcFae plays Folklore"

Done an update on my stream audio, so either everything is gonna sound much better and clearer, or I've broken everything as I often do. Find out tonight I guess!

My brain keeps whispering the cursed words "You should make a new Vtuber model again!", and "Change up your stream setup, it could be so much better!" Love when I end up making work for myself.

Update, I finally played it after all the updates and downloads. The vibe, immaculate. The controls and tutorial, god awful. Truly the highs and lows of old MMO design.

I know a lot of this may be nostalgia-goggles. I guess as I'm getting older, I'm just noticing the artifice of modern AAA media, and wishing for more of the mystery of a world that's new to me again, that wasn't waiting for me, that feels like it existed before me, and will continue after I'm gone.

010

BrokenArcFae @brokenarcfae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

It makes the worlds feel built for you to play in, as opposed to older games having worlds you felt like a small part of. Even after capturing all the legendaries and becoming Champion, little Jimmy has his own shorts-related life going on, he hasn't been following you on the news.

BrokenArcFae @brokenarcfae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

This isn't me adding to the "Modern games handhold you too much" hate train by the way. Just thinking about modern games having massive worlds, but worldbuilding is inextricably attached to gameplay mechanics. An NPCs sob story isn't just worldbuilding, it'll end up as part of a quest later.

110

BrokenArcFae @brokenarcfae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Older games were full of random tidbits of information that was purely there for worldbuilding, with only minor mechanical purpose. It added a lot of charm. Nowadays, it'd be a sign saying "This cave is full of ZUBAT! Anyone travelling through these caves are recommended to stock up on REPEL!"

Hard to narrow it down, so here's 6 of the most formative character designs for my childhood. I was a nerdy edgy kid...

The game was better when it was linear, as with most games, honestly.

BrokenArcFae @brokenarcfae.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Hell, I love retro games, but I still feel the impact of how Control, or Pragmata hit me. They might not be on my 9 grid (as mentioned, I am above most things, a retro freak), but I see some people dismiss recent media from being "formative", and I don't think that's fair.

010

BrokenArcFae @brokenarcfae.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

We're constantly being shaped and changed by our lives. You're hopefully not the same person you were after some childhood media "shaped" you. You should continue to grow, even well into adulthood. I've been impacted just as much by Digimon as a kid as I have been by Witch Hat Atelier as an adult.

BrokenArcFae @brokenarcfae.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

With the 9 anime/game/manga/etc. That Shaped Who I Am trend, a lot of people see it as "the earliest <media> that impacted me". I prefer a mix of early formative stuff and more recent media as well. It's less about showing my faves, and more showing different periods of my life, even recent ones.

Playing through Well Dweller at the mo, and 4 hours in, it's just so smooth. It gives me the same feeling of exploring a metroidvania map that Hollow Knight does, but with a far lighter tone (while still having its scares). @kylethompsondev.bsky.social has done it again methinks ❤️

I totally mistyped the above! That was meant it be 7PM (or 19:00), not 9PM... Soooooooooo... We are live now! Lost Kingdoms 2 Archipelago Randomiser! twitch.tv/BrokenArcFae #Twitch #Streaming #ENVtuber #Archipelago #Randomizer

Some of these games are probably obvious to you, but these games in some way fundamentally changed my brain chemistry in irreparable ways.

Lost Kingdoms 2, Digimon World, DotHack//Infection, The World Ends With You, Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Alundra, Luminous Arc, Suikoden.

A lot of the film feels like James Sunderland's wish fulfilment, which almost works in a twisted way. Like this Silent Hill is simultaneously punishing him, while giving him everything he wants. There's a sad comfort in that. But then there's a room with 50 nurses in it and you get ripped out of it.

000

BrokenArcFae @brokenarcfae.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

As sad as it is to change Angela and Laura's characters in the way the film did, it definitely could have worked with a bucketload more subtlety. Did Mary's face need to be on those monsters? Hell no.

BrokenArcFae @brokenarcfae.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Maybe it could have been an okay reinterpretation, if it weren't for bad cg, bad dialogue, annoying jumpscares, an innate fear of letting a good shot hang, the weird bus scene, the awful bar scene, the doll baby.

BrokenArcFae @brokenarcfae.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Watched "Return to Silent Hill". Went in hearing it was terrible, and I don't know if it's better than I expected, or if, as my partner says, I've just already forgotten most of the bad parts.
