"fantasy JRPG that's actually a post-apocalyptic Earth or Earth-like setting" is a trope that's been used since like the 90's, and yet it still hasn't worn itself thin somehow.

ignoring the fact that Mr. Alucard Laminevania is canonically considered fuckable by his friends and enemies, the amount of absolutely insane shit that Fabio spouts in every scene is astounding We're getting deep lore from 3H explained that previously only existed as 1/2 lines from a throwaway NPC

playing the first 2 hours of Dietrich's route in Fortune's Weave as a Three Houses lorehead feels like getting on a roller coaster expecting a wild ride and getting launched off the rails AT THE FIRST FUCKING TURN

There's something in there narratively about the wanton excess of having as many Officially Licensed weapons as the entirety of the Modern Warfare Trilogy only for you to autoequip the M4/Operator for those 5 hours of gameplay... But just because it's thematic doesn't mean it's not a bad beat.

Really funny watching people (myself included) realize that MGS4 actually has *even less* gameplay than they remember. The Tactical Espionage Action in some chapters is barely more than 1-3 rooms lmao

The Great Re-Examining of Metal Gear Solid 4 has begun, and the consensus is… pretty much exactly like when it came out, just with hindsight.

Y'know, it's kinda shocking how little of Earthbound/Mother 3's mechanics are replicated by games that are inspired by the series. Rolling HP and especially the Rhythm Battle system are both banger mechanics that I never see crop up anywhere and it's a bit of a shame

Not a criticism, it just feels noticeable given that Three Houses was pretty openly influenced by IntSys's close relationship with ATLUS. The calendar system and school setting are very clearly Persona-esque, while the late-game unveiling a race of underground demon-humans with nukes is just SMT IV

You May Call Me Lin @shadowdrgn.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Fortune's Weave feels like it should be co-credited to ATLUS the way it's basically Metaphor's gameplay structure as a Strategy RPG

You May Call Me Lin @shadowdrgn.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

I mean dragonborn aren't even dragons, artists and players and DM's have just been so insistent on adding draconic traits and roleplaying them as anthropomorphic dragons that the lore has changed to cater to that interpretation. So yeah, they basically are lizard humans.

I really wish more of our mentors emphasized the importance of building up a creative process that is able to function under the strain of life shit. I see too many talented artists become paralyzed under the weight of their own queue bc 1 bad week equals a feedback loop of dysfunctional process.

You May Call Me Lin @shadowdrgn.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

I say this because I love y'all, but a lot of furry artists (even the big ones) haven't built up the discipline to do art as a primary job. It's frustrating because I'm always supportive when things happen, but it's hard not to notice that any stressful or adverse event leads to a bunch of art block

That said FF7 Remake gave me a reason to level up sets of every Materia and that's because Hard Mode assumes you're max level and have access to all of the game's tools. It's New Game Plus but the game's level curve has maxed itself out from the word go. It's really cool.

011

You May Call Me Lin @shadowdrgn.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

I used to be all about the grind but the older I get the more I appreciate JRPG's that precision-tune their level curve to assume someone who is doing a reasonable amount of side-quests but otherwise trying to progress at a steady pace

I watched in real time as a member of several MtG communities as articles written by Indigenous writers calling this out were ridiculed and accused of inventing problems to be mad about. Then Spice8Rack said it, and suddenly, this was the cool and based take to have about the set.

Ex. Magic released Outlaws of Thunder Junction, a set based on cowboys, and vowed to avoid repeating racist colonialist tropes by... saying the setting was Terra Nullius; itself a racist, colonialist trope.

Same deal with having an unpopular take on a piece of media until a respected content creator, journalist or writer says pretty much the same thing, and now everyone is on board.

"The Switch is so old," you all said. "I need better graphics," you demanded. "Wah wah," you cried. And now, you sit here before Slippy Toad, the slippiest he's ever been, slippier than a fucking banana peel under a kart wheel, all thanks to the raw power of the Nintendo Switch 2—and you reject him?

I've put over 200 hours into Season 1. I haven't played multiplayer FPS games since CoD Ghosts, I'm playing on a PS5 controller on a sub-1 Gigabit per second wifi connection. I should not be in the demographic for this game and it still slaps because Bungie's gamefeel is bar none.

I haven't posted much about Marathon because I've been busy moving, but I'm genuinely so done with the way social media is trying to turn this into the next Concord. Yes, the game is struggling and the development was messy. You know what separates that from Concord? Marathon actually has the sauce

Being an autistic adult is occasionally, or even quite often, having to ask people you love if they are mad at you because their tone changed even slightly and now you’re in an anxiety spiral because you have a history of people you love being mad at you and you not knowing why
