i bring more women kissing to your TL

an illustration by Spindle of the characters Asimov (on the right), a half-elf with white hair tied up in a bun, and wearing a blue dress (with yellow accents and a red stripe on the bottom), sitting and kissing Ottilie (on the left), a human with short brown hair tied up in a small bun, wearing a green cardigan (with orange circles print, and white trim), white underwear, and black thighhighs (appearing green due to the tones of the art). She's in front of Asi and leaning on her, kissing back. The kiss is tongue-style

i genuinely understand why people think shmups and touhou are all about rote memorization i just wish i could communicate how deeply untrue that is. once you learn a stage well enough you can improvise in these strange, beautiful ways you would have never thought possible

a common rookie mistake is thinking games are tv. Pros know games are actually movies

it also has an encyclopedia that tells you the detailed backstory of every single map boss you kill. You'll check it and it'll tell you you just killed the brother of the guy you killed on the 3rd map of the game and he referenced it in the pre battle dialogue

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

Shout out to this absolutely insane tactics ogre mechanic that keeps track of the nationality of every enemy you kill and causes party members of the same nationality to leave if you kill too many of them

And it's so slow and so easy. An absolute waste of time.

the escort section is baffling. We do all this work getting the big daddy suit so a (cured) little sister can crawl through a hatch? And then we have to protect her while she collects Adam even though she's cured and can't actually incubate it any more?

I was purposefully playing poorly/without care by the end just so I could spend money on health/ammo and actually pick up money from killed enemies rather then leave it wasted on the ground bc I'd hit the cap. There are 4 digits on the UI for your wallet but you can only carry 500 bux...

It's also a shame the balance falls apart at the same time. It's not so much I dislike the victory lap style but it feels like I was in victory lap mode by Hephaestus, and then the game kept going for like 3 more hours of mindless wrench whacking.

Bioshock is a really severe example of a game totally fumbling the ball at the end. If it wasn't for the absolute melodramatic schmaltz of the last 5 minutes (and general tedium and lack of focus in the stage before it) I'd be so much hotter on it.

Thinking about Difficulty more because I was popping off about it on stream tonight, but I keep going back and thinking to how people give like.. intro reading/watching/listening lists for subjects that are dense and hard to get into, so people can build literacy in various mediums and genres.
