Oh shit I hit 12k! Neat!

Anyways uh if you'd rather only see my "on topic" posts, got a feed that only shows my next project: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Also got a Patreon if you want my especially nerdy blogs:

Megan Fox @glassbottommeg.bsky.social · Jan 25

I guess I should sometimes actually share the Patreon in a "hey, subscribers help!" kinda way: www.patreon.com/posts/ah-hol...

Anyways, next two posts will be how to use fake/heavy gravity to make games feel "heavier" and a UE5 ControlRig deep dive

Ah, holidays are over, time to blog again | Megan Fox

The GOP is trying to suppress voting by requiring burdensome proof of citizenship through a rule change by the Election Assistance Commission.

Don't have a passport? Changed your name on marriage? Expect a giant paperwork hassle to register to vote!

Wait

What?

Fuuuuuck 😭

If you mean the remake, yeah! It's pretty good! Though it really is a remake, I gather they're both equally faithful to the material

The new one is certainly less uhhhhh last-century anime crunchy tho

I'm glad!

I suspect it was just a game aimed at KH Sickos, which is basically what it needed to be

(anyways I'm really enjoying Kingdom Hearts 2, now that I'm

actually playing Kingdom Hearts 2)

Megan Fox @glassbottommeg.bsky.social · 11h

If laughing at/with someone would help apparently I got so confused by the Kingdom Hearts sequels that for literally the last 20 years, I've thought Kingdom Hearts 2 was a mid game that I never bothered finishing

...

Cus I played Death By Sleep without realizing the diff 😭 bsky.app/profile/glas...

Megan Fox @glassbottommeg.bsky.social · 14h

Ok, so I have a memory of playing "Kingdom Hearts 2" but it started with you controlling Blond Guy opposite Purple Haired Guy as like, disciples of an order that dressed in white

It was very FFish

Now I'm playing what I know is Kingdom Hearts 2 and it's not that.

Did I play one of the spinoffs?

I got the impression it landed for people who were really into the narrative, just, I Was Not heh

Megan Fox @glassbottommeg.bsky.social · 12h

Though I keep bouncing off War of the Chosen

It really wants you on your back foot, and I Really don't want to play under that kind of duress constantly

"hey let's kidnap your best guy, oops you're back in the zombie area again that you could only beat with that guy" was... fuck you, uninstall

The summons being fundamental to combat and also being That. Long. was kinda the icing on the cake.

Megan Fox @glassbottommeg.bsky.social · 12h

I despised KH3 😭

It's all cutscenes and narrative that I just didn't care about, with the fundamental "pal around and explore cool places" stuff missing a/o incredibly janky

Anyways, KH2 looks stunning cranked to 1080p. Like its own fucking remaster.

WHY DID THEY DO SUCH HIGH RES TEXTURING. Like. This brickwork and such would have just been a blur?!

Just beat the first boss, talking to Lady In White now

Megan Fox @glassbottommeg.bsky.social · 13h

I definitely didn't play as Sora, I played as a blond boy who looks like Roxas but was with the white cloak dudes who are all Final Fantasy people, and also Purple Haired Boy was there and friendly ish?

So in my case I think it had to be Birth By Sleep

Which I believe is because of canon story reasons but

Dadaist aesthetics emerge when a sense of hopelessness pervades, as a way of taking power over an absurd reality where everything you were taught doesn't make any sense anymore etc etc

It isn't baking their brain, it's reality baking their brain and that's them trying to work against it, find power

Megan Fox @glassbottommeg.bsky.social · 13h

That'd be Birth By Sleep

Well at least, possibly Chain Of Memories too?

Megan Fox @glassbottommeg.bsky.social · 13h

What I don't get is how I confused the two

Maybe I didn't know if you had to play the other before this one? Maybe I rented it? Unclear

Megan Fox @glassbottommeg.bsky.social · 13h

I'm almost positive. Unless this game takes a REALLY severe turn, I don't see how it could turn into "I'm a blond haired Sora clone opposite the purple hair guy and we're working for the white cloaks"

Like I guess but, PRETTY sure not?

Megan Fox @glassbottommeg.bsky.social · 13h

I guess there's still time for my blonde man to wake up all SORA YOU'RE A WHITE CLOAK NOW HERE ALSO YOU AREN'T SORA YOU'RE LIKE A HEARTLESS CLONE BECAUSE PLOT BULLSHIT JUST PUT ON THESE PARACHUTE PANTS AND STAND OVER THERE
