Similar to my post about "liberation means even for that annoying guy you hate" - weird art includes art you personally don't get, don't like, wouldn't spend money on, find unsettling. Games you wouldn't play. Books you wouldn't read. Decommercialise your preconceptions of what art deserves to exist

Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.

hot damn elsie lovelock kills it with the ending track of bye sweet carole ("Let Your Voice Be Heard")

I think it better conveys the importance of what the game failed to for me, which is to be strong-willed, standing tall, and following your heart no matter what. Very positive message.

That's part of it. Health also hasn't been the best. 😞💔 I'm constantly up and down with sinus issues and mood points. Extremely draining... But I'm truckin' on as best I can.

I just feel like I missed out on a ton of potential character development, backstories, and other cool stuff to tie it all together.

Just finished this. It was okay, but not the experience I feel I was promised from the trailer unfortunately.

Gave it a 3.5/10 rating, or 2/5 stars. The animation was cool, music was a banger, but the story and lack of sound palette is what bogged it down for me.

It was charming, though.

I even went out of my way to purchase DLC content a while back, definitely worth it. ^_^

I'm hoping to play more when I have the energy, it was incredibly long (the final boss fight was especially grueling, mf would not stay down 🤣🤣🤣).

Hoping to binge the anime next.

Finished this game today, had the time of my life with over 80 hours packed into it.

I'm a total sucker for heartfelt connections and strong female protagonists that aren't "over the top girlbosses", as well as soft color palettes and this gorgeous art style.

So, I made a female, humanized version of the silly ol' bear. Literally spent a whole 12 hours on this piece.

All Eleanore wanted was to keep her head down and work her debt off.

Kidnapping the Prince Charming wasn't the plan. Saving said blood faery royal from assassins was definitely not on her to-do list. Falling for him was nothing but an unmitigated disaster.

Yet here she is.

Cinderella meets Rumplestiltskin, only she's not Cinderella and he's not Rumplestiltskin.

No, she’s an overworked maid who kidnaps the blood faery prince from his own ball to escape her mistress’ schemes.

But, like magic, freedom isn’t free.
His life or hers. That's the deal.

This is most likely my last post for a while, since I'm at my limit and really need some time away from social media. ✌🏻 Be good to yourselves.

I promised chat if we reached $4,000 in this marathon I would legitimately learn the speedrun for NightCry.

Well, we reached 4k this week...

Live over on Twitch now with the final stream of the marathon 🔥

For the month of September, I'll be marathoning every Clock Tower game to raise money for Palestine. As well as this, any earnings I make on Twitch (subs, bits, etc.), I will match it and donate as well.

We start with the SNES game tomorrow. Saoirse don Phalaistín.

Literally just medicaid, but hey, I'll take what I can get if things go smoothly and I can get some much needed work done.
