Longes @longes.bsky.social · 12/08/2026It's not, though. It's a conspiracy of witches and monopolists that required the assassination of dissenting religious leaders after they voted the wrong way. It's outright spelled out in the books that it was done to keep the uppity middle class from overpowering the planet-owning nobility. 010

Longes @longes.bsky.social · 29/03/2026Jump and do aerial attacks. Use Nature's Snare to reflect the boss' attacks. You picked the boring option and are mad about it. 000
Longes @longes.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Dude, everyone is breaking the rules. Every noble house in Dune has machines outlawed by the Jihad. They spell out in Children of Dune that the Jihad was a campaign by monopolists and literal witches to keep the middle class down to preserve the rule of the aristocracy 2141
Longes @longes.bsky.social · 13/03/2026How someone reads "Longing" and comes out thinking that Planescape: Torment approves of and glorifies the Practical Incarnation is beyond me. 121
Longes @longes.bsky.social · 10/03/2026That is untrue and underestimates how racist Lovecraft's era actually was. "Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn" was outright written because Lovecraft thought contemporary racists were annoying. 000

Longes @longes.bsky.social · 09/03/2026There are three genres of Korean webtoons: * Korean MMO portal fantasy * Korean MMO reincarnator fantasy * Cursed shoujo 010
Longes @longes.bsky.social · 09/03/2026But like, these two pale redheads from Gladiator 2 were IRL sons of a Libyan man and a Syrian woman. Gladiator 2 is very bad a near-inversion of history. Caracalla, instead of being an effeminate hedonist, immediately fucked off to be general and never returned to Rome while his mom actually ruled. 010
Longes @longes.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Back in 1997 Todd Howard has correctly identified that Ultima provides a superior roleplaying experience to Daggerfall, by not being a box of random shit. Weirdly, since then, Todd has backtracked and Starfield is back to being a box of random shit. 110

Longes @longes.bsky.social · 11/01/2026The existential horror of having my eyes opened to Rance's influence on Japanese media is having to ask myself "Is the Kingdom Hearts cover a Kichikuou Rance reference, or is that simply the optimal way to paint a character aura farming on a throne with his allies?" 000
Longes @longes.bsky.social · 29/12/2025It's great down to the title. The sensory stone is called "Longing", and Fall-From-Grace describes at as a beautiful longing for what you can't have. Because the stone only has Deinoarra's emotions. But TNO is down on his knees, weeping because he gets to know what is really going on in that event. 140
Longes @longes.bsky.social · 29/12/2025What did the relationship between TNO and Deionarra look like? It looked like abuse. It looked like TNO insulting Deionarra when she tries to do something for him unprompted, and manipulating her with neglect into doing what he wants. 160
Longes @longes.bsky.social · 29/12/2025This feels like a miss. Because the game *does* show you what the relationship between TNO and Deionarra looked like, in what is probably one of its strongest bits of writing. And we get to see it from both perspectives! We get to see the severely abused Deionarra worrying about TNO's every move and 180
Longes @longes.bsky.social · 26/12/2025Spellblade, my fan art for @saikings.bsky.social 's Verho In honor of the sword I used for 90% of the game until ditching it for the Arcane sword 010
Longes @longes.bsky.social · 01/12/2025Three-cueing is the last century's pseudoscience teaching approach that has since been debunked, and is banned from use in the third of the US, but unfortunately, is still alive in parts of it 011
Longes @longes.bsky.social · 02/11/2025The dude on HSL cover was "Mr. Damp", a Malkavian serial killer and assassin. He was featured in the board games (VtM Chapters and VtM Vendetta) as a promo for Bloodlines 2, which is now rather ironic. 210
Longes @longes.bsky.social · 29/10/2025Another point to bring up is that there are essentially three versions of Carna. Carna in Milwaukee by Night (1992) is a ruthless sociopath who, after centuries of abuse by her sire, interacts with people through either seduction or murder. 110
Longes @longes.bsky.social · 24/10/2025It's great that at the very end of Rogue Trader, Pasqal of all people empathizes with the C'Tan 030
Longes @longes.bsky.social · 23/10/2025My old playthrough was Heretical, so I have not seen how mad Pasqal gets at Ulfar 000
