so i wasn't the only one

came back to this post specifically to say that it's not really linear? so far at least, my world traversal has been all over the place with typical metroid road blocks i find that i have to come back to later, backtracking, etc

exactly. it looks like a costume in any attempt at seriousness. it really only works in a highly stylized context.

nahhh that's hangin' on. it's time to rip the band aid off. On this, I have failed.

@jruidraws.bsky.social i'm trying to get all the "i told you so's" out of the way as soon as possible, so bring it on haha.

i actually almost indeed walked right past the save location until miles reminded me it was there

if i turn out to be wrong i will just delete everything and passionately insist that the entire community collectively hallucinated me making any predictions at all

i was predicting TR 1 reimagination over a year ago based on a bit of info that Tasha Huo let slip. she repeatedly said the anime leads into "that first tomb raider adventure". combine that with her saying it's canon between "where we came from and the next game" and i'm like *waves hands*

my clown makeup is on, but the good news is that there's signs the franchise is moving even if there's no TR 12 announcement soon. we're getting live action casting updates, story-kitchen officially posted that there's plans for a live action + game connected universe, etc. tomb raider is alive.

there are many signs that things are actually in motion.

i am also playing prime 4. 😎

thank you *cries tears of joy*

i'm hoping they solve the problem of insane shipping prices
