minor spoilers for DNA but there's a segment where it recommends you to wear headphones beforehand for the best audiovisual performance and it's hands down one of the best experiences I've had in gaming period

casual fear/warmongering and racist thought formatted as a shonen type novel oh the devs are cooking

EsotericRenko @esotericrenko.bsky.social · 18h

it's so fascinating how DNA portrays the Solas' view of Charon in a fascistic light- they're stronger than us so we must unite against them, but they are weak. They feel no pain or suffering, but they are cowardly. They're cunning and manipulative, but they're (verbatim) 'born to be lazy and stupid'

deprogramming a curious innocent kid's racially prejudiced indoctrination the questline

racism isn't exclusive to bad people, some of the kindest folk i know spout some of the vilest things i've ever heard about minorities solely because they don't know better and that's such a sad truth

EsotericRenko @esotericrenko.bsky.social · 18h

There's this brand of innocent racism only found in well meaning children that were so thoroughly indoctrinated that they capture really well and I think that's fascinating

umiri with lance is so validating to me as someone who's constantly written umiri (both in things i publish and things i Do Not) with spears, glaives, and lances. i am clairvoyant

only in DNA can I play a canonical 13~ year old and pull out a shotgun on slightly older kids

Lisbell is a very good character character writing-wise and I am committing live character assassination by making her do things she would threaten to do but never actually do

i might like DNA a little bit

EsotericRenko @esotericrenko.bsky.social · 3d

DNA is actually just a good fucking game oh my lord

EsotericRenko @esotericrenko.bsky.social · 5d

in 2 days my life will be Obliterated

EsotericRenko @esotericrenko.bsky.social · 5d

survived midterms but DNA is releasing in 2 days so my productivity will continue to be shot. i have proceeded to make negative progress on anything productive

as it stands it's like a dream theater situation where even listening to live recordings jumpscares you with a soundscape you never knew existed where initially you're like 'oh there's not much to work with here...' and then bam, live recording. suddenly theres too much to work with here

(umiri does some really stupid shit sometimes that is audible but i have yet to see or hear someone incorporate into their cover, although i don't doubt they've attempted and decided not to bother because I've done the exact same thing and decided it isn't worth figuring out bc its Minor Asf)

i have a deep sense of respect for whoever is making the songsterr tabs for ave muji songs on piano because those are banger improvisations that i can say for certain do not exist or are otherwise buried to hell in the studio recording, and ive already made my stance on the bass tabs clear

1

EsotericRenko @esotericrenko.bsky.social · 17d

they would never do this but MyMujica sheet music would be a banger merch drop. i partially wish for this because there's a sense of despair i can read through the covers & tabs specifically for bass and piano I've perused where people just either 1. hallucinate things or 2. pretend they don't exist

'professional standards in everything she does' with a stat spread like that...umiri is the only muji that still retains their mask in the collab because she still does not feel at home even now...when will you stop pretending...

EsotericRenko @esotericrenko.bsky.social · Sep 18

the thought that Umiri went through a physical examination potentially malnourished and lacking sleep and wanting to not stand out on top of all of that ironically making him stand out because of how concerningly uniform his stats are despite her blurb gassing her up

1

EsotericRenko @esotericrenko.bsky.social · Sep 18

it feels as if Umiri is still trying his best not to stand out,and with the added context of the module story practically confirming that his ass is still subsisting off of nothing but protein shakes and five hours of sleep bc of gymbroing even with battlefield responsibilities it sorta makes me ill

EsotericRenko @esotericrenko.bsky.social · Sep 18

read a rough TL of Umiri's module story and i couldn't help but think about the muji's phsyical examination results again, i've always found it fascinating that Umiri's and Uika's stats were *uniformly* mid (sans Endurance for the former) with the latter being just above mid.

nontan has always been the goat but the arknights collab solo toeing the line of polyphia-esque and meishan bringing back an 80s jazz ass bassline in the same solo it makes me wonder. every new drop i ask the question of 'are they going to cross the line of unmarketable for the love of the art'

mechanically speaking ave mujica as a band has been evolving so i'm over here wondering if they're going to commit to evolving to the point of becoming proggier and proggier at the risk of alienating the more casual fanbase or if they'll just drop a 'what the fuck' level tier song every so often
