The fact Chewbacca is a clone wars era wookie commander makes him hanging out with the Most Just Some Guy Ever very funny. You have to keep a rando weed dealer around bc his best friend is Võ Nguyên Giáp and no one else in your entire rebellion speaks Vietnamese
JRPG is a weird genre, I feel like for the most part both devs AND fans of the genre have ceded that JRPG combat isn't really interesting and as a result JRPGs decided to either focus on the story instead, with the combat being background noise, or adding paper mario minigames
The more backstory the original trilogy received the more likely it is that the rebels actually wanted Chewbacca and they kept Han around because he’s pretty, has a huge stash, and is generally pleasant to be around
Also like. it’s fucking bizarre Mario RPG gets treated like it’s an exception to JRPGs rules when it’s absolutely in the style of snes Square RPGs. That’s not a knock against it, but it is weird that a Mario coat of paint makes people act like it has no connections to the past
@JustMehNow
Wait so they entirely kept Han around for the vibes?
Actually that’s understandable 70s Harrison Ford could get it. If I was running a terrorist cell under a fascist regime I’d probably want a really handsome (if kinda dumb) funny guy around to lighten the mood
Yeah Mario RPG using real time minigames is cool! But it’s absolutely in line with the experimental nature of the snes. Treasure of Rudras used a dictionary based magic system, Trials of Mana experimented with replayable stories, and Dragon Quest V had better Pokémon on the side
The thing you gotta understand about Stranger of Paradise is that the people who don’t like it think it’s a ps2 game for the modern age and the people who love it also think it’s a ps2 game for the modern age
This is getting out of my circles, please don’t be weird about Glorious Nipponese craftsmanship. Like all art, video games are cross-cultural and built on past experiments: we wouldn’t have Etrian Odyssey without Wizardry and we wouldn’t have Stardew Valley without Rune Factory

Two strangers forge an unlikely connection when they’re transported into each others’ bodies.
Now playing in our Interdimensional Romance collection!
Also don’t follow me. The two most recent ways I’ve been described are “Three Kingdoms Yaoi Professor” and “Arbiter of Erotic Cannibalism.” I am not a video game discourse account I am focused on higher pursuits for true intellectuals
I dunno about you guys but I’m playing Armored Core 6 as a dating sim.
How can new transfer mercenary 621 chose between the abrasive yet caring Handler Walter, the mysterious and earnest AI Ayre, and the charismatic dogboy V. IV Rusty?
I get that the irl reason for the scale down was due to plastic costs, buts it’s a neat idea that after roughly a century of development beam weapons were so effective that armor was not only completely pointless but a detriment, so instead speed became the top priority
Shocked that Tekken 8 has the most realistic villain of the year: South American business owner who is willing to ally with foreign militaries to get better exporting deal

SNW answers the decades long question of “Why does Spock tolerate McCoy making cracks about his Vulcan heritage?” With “in comparison to his previous workplace McCoy is lightly teasing at worst, and at least he calls him Vulcan instead of Halfbreed”
@howiszhu
As soon as possible. I’d tell the EMTs my password with my final breath so they can take a photo and post it with the caption “I look marginally better than I normally do lmao”
I kinda love how Bel is a toxic person but in a really boring realistic way instead of being super dramatic. She’s clingy in an uncomfortably real way, it’s great
"A college student would just jump their abusive professor" "Artists would just sue their plagiarist" "They'd just use guns to solve problems" are you even remotely familiar with the Japanese legal system
Yeah you can’t put adults in persona without rewriting it immensely cause you don’t get the kids fighting to change things they couldn’t before vibe. If joker was in college and that kamoshida shit happened he’d just beat him up in real life

We gone from “workers controlling the means of production is communism” to “healthcare is communism” and now finally “having sex with an 8 when you’re a 3 is communism”

The canonical reason why you hear the calls between Handler Walter and G1 Michigan is that Ayre is a Fujoshi and uses your AC to spy on them for her old man yaoi fix
One of modern film making’s greatest paradoxes is that we have access to the most accurate color-capture possible and yet despite this all we get is gray sludge
If Disney successfully frees SDF Macross from Harmony Golf I will become a Disney Adult. I’ll wear those stupid hats and take selfies with overpriced carnival food if Kawamori’s vision can be freed
Crazy to hear that Syd Mead died, but it is even crazier to learn he was born in 1933. One of the few who can be truly said to be ahead of his time. 86 is a damn respectable age for a damn respectable man, rest in peace
Part of the reason Berserk resonants as hard as it does is not that it has dark and dangerous world, but rather that it’s story of people who have faced great trauma and still choose to deal with their pain and make the world a slightly better place than they left it
Autistic ppl’s lower susceptibility to propaganda, strong sense of justice, reduced vulnerability to social pressure, and willingness to speak up make them society’s canary in the coal mine.
My most insane crackpot theory is that modern blockbusters have been so unambitious in their visual design that at this point a large amount of people genuinely don’t understand how constructed movies are. They honestly think you just stick a camera in the ground and press record
The people are saying it would more realistic are delusional, the only person with a higher opinion of Char than Char is Garma. That dumb nazi twink was down subterranean. His version would make comiket BL look like Jane Austen. He sees Char with constant bishie sparkles
If Gundam Origin is told from Char's perspective then I want to see a version from Garma. I bet their academy days are quite different and there is at least one scene of garma holding back chars hair over a toilet

Genuinely have never understood the defense of “do you know how hard people worked to make this” when it comes to media. Like yeah no shit it was hard, it takes great effort for anything to be made
That doesn’t change the fact they worked hard on a comedy game with only one joke
I despise those meat obsessed content creators who jack off to beef or “eat it raw like our ancestors”. A mockery of the kitchen and frankly pathetic levels of delusion on agriculture. If you slap a steak with black gloves on I will put your fingers into a blender one by one
For my non-star trek mutuals, in this episode one of the main cast members dies suffocating in space and is then almost immediately replaced by a alternate universe version of them.
It is never commented on after this episode
Scrolling through chainsaw man art tag muttering “she wouldn’t wear that… she doesn’t look like that…” under my breath like a disgruntled father seeing blasphemous posts about my daughter
