This is how it feels when they announce that your favorite monster is coming back to the current Monster Hunter game.

I kinda love how Guilty Gear has become more "mature" as time goes on but not by being edgier but more like the difference between writing your OCs as a teen and then the exact same OCs as an adult.
Western RPG: Become God
Eastern RPG: Kill God
European RPG: God never existed, it is but a machination of the feeble human mind to give reason to the chaos we were born into. We can only fight the uphill battle against the futility of existing.

Dear Americans.
Please don't assume media takes place in America by default.
Thank you.

GG1: This is Sol Badguy, he's a super cool bounty hunter that was also a super genius scientist and the first gear ever.
Strive: This is Sol Badguy, deadbeat dad with a wife and three husbands that never stopped being a turbo nerd no matter what he tells you.
Replying to
GG1: This is Chipp Zanuff, an ex drug addict that left his life of crime by learning to be a ninja.
Strive: This is Chipp, a goddamn weeaboo that couldn't become president of the US so he made his own country, he's also simultaneously the smartest and dumbest dude in the cast.
My take on the JRPG discourse is that in 2016 a publication complained that VA-11 Hall-A required too much clicking.
That problem goes beyond just RPGs and just the US addressing Japanese games and all the highlighting fills me with morbid joy.
Replying to
GG1: This is Ky Kiske, Sol's rival that abides by the rules and is now facing a crisis of faith.
Strive: This is Ky, a decent man that only wants to be home with his dear wife and prevent his son from shouting the latest Bad Word his grandpa taught him.
"Can we stop pretending Metal Gear Rising is some sort of masterpiece like everyone jokes it is?"
Who the fuck is joking here my dude. That love is pure and unironic.

Axl is the same funnily enough, but his attitude was supposed to be awfully out of place in the first GG and by Strive it's more like tone caught up to HIM instead. It's great.
Replying to
GG1: This is Testament, a Gear obsessed with serving Justice, whether the original one or its offspring, even if it means using their life.......
Strive: This is Testament, a swell buddy with too many hobbies and too much free time in their hands.
Something I've thought about a lot lately is how you can pinpoint the stages of Granblue's development finding its own voice through Vira (Or any other long-running characters).
Spoilers for all Viras fates of course
If you got the LRG version of VA-11 Hall-A and liked the cover be sure to thank for the flawless job.
If you couldn't get it... the point remains the same, dammit.
TYPE-MOON: We're gonna spend A GOOD FOURTY MINUTES explaining to you how magic has rules and nobody, and I mean NOBODY can break them even if they wanted.
TYPE-MOON, 5 minutes later: Except for THIS PARTICULAR GUY, he can break the rules all he wants because he's that awesome

I've been looking for a good excuse to post this thing Kiririn made.
I haven't found one but here you go.
Look, I know you wanna diss a game just because it says "Unity" on the intro...
But trust me, if there's someone that hates Unity more than you is whoever made that game in the first place.
Dunno if anyone's talking about this, but the evokers are just The Dark Eternals, polar opposites of each one gone wrong down to gameplay
Eternals are gotten through weapons, evokers through summons, eternals are made for the front row, evokers thrive in the back row.
Lady, I've met dragons, ghosts, archangels, robots, primal beasts, ice people, fire people, laughing potatoes and whatever the fuck Siete is
Actually, this is a more fitting reaction.

To everyone that's used the phrase "multi fandom" in their bio:
You do know that liking things without formally pledging allegiance to that thing is like... The normal thing to do, right?
VA-11 Hall-A's final PC release is officially 6 years old and you'd be fooled it's less time by how people still talk about it to this day. Words cannot express how blessed I feel about that every single day

SO APPARENTLY
PEOPLE WERE STREAMING SPLATOON IN A WAY WHERE THE INK COLOR WOULD GRADUALLY CHROMA KEY A PORN MOVIE BEING PLAYED.
THE MORE INK THE MORE OF THE MOVIE ON SCREEN.
Got an announcement:
Moving forward I wish to not be treated or perceived as male. I'm happy with who I am, I don't feel the need to change name, looks, or preferred pronouns. But the expectations and context that being a guy builds around me is feeling like a prison.
You're right my dude.
Systems where technology has gotten to the point where they can turn humans into labor-focused machines for the benefit of faceless corporations in an arms race to see who can hoard more riches in the short term is perfectly sustainable.
Someone: "I recommend VA-11 Hall-A for a game made with no crunch!"
Me, remembering the entirety of 2014, 2015, and 2016:
One of the funniest things has been seeing all the people when we first announced N1RV Ann-A be like "oh no, why are the main characters boobs so big" meanwhile I've never seen anyone say peep about THIS being the fucking cover for the Switch and PS4 versions (also on Steam)

I don't know what's a bigger insult.
The assumption that our game takes place in the US of A.
Or that it takes place in California of all places.
At least if it was Florida there's enough Venezuelans there where I could call it a cheeky nod.
Magic of Stella, a manga (and 2016 anime) about cute girls making doujin games added a very clear homage to VA-11 Hall-A and I'M SCREAMING
The game: *looks and plays the same as one year ago*
Me, sliding from under it and removing a welding mask: IT'S BETTER NOW, TRUST ME
Quote
I really wish I could show more N1rv Ann-A stuff but most of the progress has been on things under the hood. That said, the goal is to make it easy to expand with post-release content and add localizations in a more timely manner.
Lamretta is the best character in Granblue Fantasy or Mobages in general and I dare you to change my mind.

Me as a teen: I don't get why Archer wants to kill Shiro so badly, feels like forced drama to me.

"METAL GEAR SOLID 2 AND THE PATRIOTS WERE RIGHT
WE'RE ALL EN ROUTE TO AN ENVIROMENT OF ECHO CHAMBERS FULL OF UNFILTERED INFORMATION SEEPING INTO SOCIETY AND TAINTING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD" I scream as I see on a website that someone has blocked me on twitter dot com
My current three tenants when writing are as follows:
1- Characters exist before the plot starts and will keep existing after it ends
2- Say out loud all lines you write and consider if you'd actually hear someone say that
3- If you identify an avoidable crutch, avoid it
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Here you go
Hope you all like it

Gonna bump this to talk for a sec while my rice cooks.
Lemme tell how I was only able to consume media at all thanks to piracy while growing up in the boonies of the world

i know piracy and scanlations are sensitive topics and as a creator i totally empathize with many sides of the argument
what i don’t agree with is “if you can’t buy it, then it’s too bad”
as someone living in the global south, i am genuinely horrified by this sentiment
A day like today 5 years ago released at 3AM something we had been working on for 2 years until that point.
Since then we've had ups and downs but we've been able to better our lives significantly thanks to the love you've all given to these two dorks.
