Tsugumi and Kid interactions: interesting, cryptic, intrigue

Tsugumi and Takeshi interactions: if I have to hear these two argue one more time then I'll turn LeMU into the remains of Oceangate

Ever 17 tricks you into believing the game is bad via Takeshi's routes, only to then fix various issues I had with it in the Kid's routes. Why would they do this. Is this an issue with the writing or is Takeshi simply a black hole whose annoying personality infects everyone around him

A prominent joke I saw about the VN Ever 17 was that all the characters do is sit around and eat chicken sandwiches. "It must be an exaggeration," I thought. But it's not. This is how the cast spends most of their downtime. The end plot of two routes begins when a character does not want to eat them

i love calling things "evil" solely because it's funny to me. "this character has a deep evil within them and they must burn in the fires of hell" for example. i'm going to lie and claim this is because of "religious trauma" when my church was normal and i paid zero attention in sunday school

I helped playtest this game a while back!! There's been a lot of love put into it -- very neat to see it get so close to its Kickstarter date :D

Eldest Daughter by Taylor Swift isn't the worst song I've heard, but it engenders within me a level of anger I almost never feel towards music. It inspired no empathy for the eldest daughter's plight. They must be hunted down and kept in cold, damp cells for "trolling and memes" sung over sad piano

I like complex characters and conflict, but reading about messy character drama can feel really tiring to me sometimes. Like okay we get it. You guys are toxic. Go back to fighting over the cursed amulet or something

People make fun of redditors and cornballs in fanbases but note how they're always having the most fun out of everyone, uninhibited by cringe or constant discourse

It's such a mid-2000s song that I was kind of obsessed with it. I remember searching it up online after the game ended and being baffled that it wasn't from a big band/barely anyone had uploaded it to YouTube. I still wonder if it was written solely for The Blackwell Convergence...

gertritude @gertritude.bsky.social · 11d

When I was a teenager, I went through a brief period where I was obsessed with the point-and-click "Blackwell" series... Many things I held dear about it, but the main thing that's stuck with me is that in one game, they played this song over the end credits? youtu.be/x1aXcuLidSg?...

look at my pure vessel man we are NOT surviving the infection #art #hollowknight #hollowknightspoilers

various doodles of the hollow knight from hollow knight. includes one where it is sitting down, uninfected, post one of the endings, one of it as the pure vessel with baby hornet on its back, and one of it as a baby fishing with the pale king.

PALE KING: "What a good catch! It's a good thing you're a pure, unthinking vessel, Hollow Knight, or else I might have just felt pride on this father-vessel fishing trip."

THE BABY HOLLOW KNIGHT: (in its thoughts) i luv papa

Wikipedia: Jack falls down the hill and injures his head. Jill stumbles as well shortly after.

TVTropes: The hill scene. Dear God, the hill scene. Not only did Jack fall down and get a head injury, his sister did as well. Water fans will think twice about fetching a pail after seeing this!

RABADEER: You know, KAEL, back in *my* day, political dissidents were rounded up and sent to the mines. Yet another way the RHEMEN youth have grown soft, and the empire infirm.

>>> You thought they still did that.

RABADEER: Yes, but now they get a ten minute lunch break. Total waste of resources.

I was going to put the moka pot and the aeropress side-by-side to show what I mean, but I am aghast at how the beautifully designed moka pot also has a logo marring the side. Like, you have to be kidding me here. Not even somewhere less obtrusive?

I have been looking into different equipment for making myself half-decent coffee every morning, and I really enjoy how you can tell the aeropress is an american invention from the complete lack of design sensibility and extremely tacky branding on the side.
