iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

one day I'll be able to grapple with how my favorite games, made by people whose artistic works I greatly respect, is kiiiiiiiiiind of thriving off kiiiinda unsavory practices

like look at all the stuff it's doing! cancer research! sifting through thousands of pages of information! / some of the most touching stories in media! I don't gamble in it so it's not gambling! but I'm kind of ignoring how it's funded by people to whom this is close enough to gambling...

finding valid use for machine learning/LLM-powered AI is kind of like being a fan of gacha games but disagreeing with its gambling-ish aspect

three houses I think got the sweet spot between character writing and thoughtful worldbuilding. I care about fortune's weave's characters too, sure, but it doesn't really push my brain the same for some reason

100

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 11h

it's funny that when I was playing fire emblem fates I keep making up interactions between characters and now in fortune's weave I'm instead doing this to the dagdan pantheon and genealogy

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 11h

vandahl's probably not a founder, but I don't think he's dagda's son (he'd be venerated) or balor's (people will shit on him more). I don't think he's only half-god either, talimun lives to be 500+ years old! he's at least half god. unless the god half is from his mom (... jurah?). making shit up

I'm way too nice to make this a reaction image, but mood

000

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 12h

or at least I assume it's of dagda. if all of sothis's direct children are considered founders, seiros and her brothers would count? dagda, balor, seiros, macuil, indech, cichol, uhhhh vandahl? I'm making shit up, is macuil/indech/cichol even sothis's direct child? I forgot

IS THAT [spoiler] in the other side of the battlefield??? oh im screwed

000

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I feel like I got a monkey's paw curling bc I went "man I wish I get more units deployed in battle" and we start part 2 with a whooping 13-units battle

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

they really move together and next to each other. yaoi...

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

the first part 2 battle with cai is really, me and oomfs 🥹

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

teodora is sooo cool. but. girl. genuinely what are you wearing...

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

sorry, it's 8-4 isn't it, I forgor

000

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I just don't think the [major spoiler character] would say "I don't give a damn" and "that idiot". give him SOME gravitas, man...

100

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

(fefw) part 2 intro with cai is REALLY funny, like the heroic games is basically sports so it's arguably ok for a teenager to join. this is literally "good luck being a child soldier, my son!"

000

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

kinda wish it's 8-5 in charge of localization for fortune's weave. this could've been good if given the same love as echoes

110

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I was planning on doing the other part 1 next but maybe I'll just go ahead and get to part 2. I really can't stand the idea of restarting to level 1 and doing baby maps rn, even with new characters. hopefully that doesn't lock me out of anything...

010

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

finished cai's part 1.... I feel a little empty now... that battle was great but it wasn't great enough... I want more... harder battles... stronger opponents... cai I'm glad you get your happy ending but I kinda didn't care about that I just thirst for... the war....

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

bertrand just send his two strongest underlings in two different directions, is he stupid

000

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

(fefw) honestly at this point I think the only significance to cai having red eyes is so players who play other routes first can go "hey what's up with cai's eyes" and I guess go !!! at orchel's eyes. which is fair actually.

000

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I need to wait for my code to build. you know what that means. it's fire emblem during work hours time

100

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I don't mind the twist, but you can't make this all dramatic, bertrand is literally right there??? and you didn't make *that* dramatic, what is this narrative disconnect and unearned drama, whose name do I blame for this. kusakihara!!

010

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

(fefw) (at chapter 12 main battle cai's route) no honestly though WHO WROTE THIS. why does the writing in cais' route low-key SUCK ASS

110

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

it was actually so bad I couldn't even load the images in the character inventory page, so it did help a bit. if the voicelines don't load, at least it'll just "stack" but don't stop you from going through the dialogues (I mean this does kinda suck too, I like the voices...!)

000

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

well I'm not irritated really, but I do get, fascinated? like if it's (pulling name from a hat) lamorak I'd beat him up but seofon has just enough charisma I go, really? really you're calling me that? okay then

010

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

okay fighting the mobile connection might be harder than I thought, I keep ending up wth this screen 😔

100

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

(realising I've only been posting screenshots of the pretty boys) I also did the girls I swear, I just didn't have much to say about them (and the times I did, bsky ate my posts...)

000

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

hang on, he actually lists out the menu in the JP voice, why didn't they translate it... wait they did, but for the choices. I guess they just ran out of space in the textbox lol?

100

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I'm still not used to how he call you "danchou-chan" this is what he's like huh, I see

200

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I'm going there... I just remembered I can use the lower graphic quality to power through mobile connection to read in the train... eustace wait for me...

110

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

he's just saying all this insanely romantic lines like it's nothing, that's crazy

200

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

thank you. I actually hauled my ass to the office because I was getting lonely anyway but the guys I want to meet at the office are apparently super late. so I'm just!!! I shouldda bring fire emblem with me!! I'm slacking big time though

010

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

reinhardtzar... I want you to meet percival. no, I want you to meet renée (the oc I specifically made to marry percival)

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

this feels like cheating, I should've read home sweet moon first, I don't know his deal that well, why does he always sound soo saddd

I like how the paper of my notebook gets grizzled with use. you can see the progress as I go through it

000

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

even if I had finished home sweet moon in time I don't think I'd have the time to read this event anyway, with fire emblem ongoing. ah well

010

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

the final battle for the current gbf event seems really cool... I feel bad I'm just skipping all of it like this 😔

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I'm with everyone that it's the 30% platform cut, but I'm also thinking of the inconsistent guideline of what is/isn't allowed on steam. How come a lot of non-explicit games are just randomly blocked while others are fine?

060

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

nahhh I'm circling around my REAL question. do people—enough people to constitute the bulk of any fandom's lifeblood—really enjoy seeing two men (specifically men) doing it?? sincere question from someone who doesn't enjoy sexual content in general

010

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I know yumeshipping is overwhelmingly m/f, which fits with how statistically most people are straight. so, what, if it's not themselves in the picture, majority of women would rather not see women in their ships at all?

100

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I like my yaoi pairings, but also yuri and straight ships too. I feel like there are a lot of people who like exclusively m/m though. like, I understand why someone would do that, but how are there are so many that fandoms everywhere favor m/m over f/f or even m/f?

100

Aliya 🐠🐉 @pseudomon.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

you know I do wonder why there are so many more fujoshi than himejoshi. well I know most women like men and mlm is double the men but, is that all there is?

I still see a lot of confusion about what decompilation, recompilation and ports are and what level of effort is involved in each type of project. It's important that people understand the difference, as recompilation took a drastically different meaning that when it was originally introduced.

I haven't seen!! or maybe I did but I didn't know them like that back then and my brain blocked out all information to avoid spoilers. ty
