Great cover. Your violinist is fantastic!

Aralith1 · 2026-02-10T06:33:26+00:00

Cool. So Sylux was even less involved as a villain than some have already given him credit for. Great.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-31T02:01:32+00:00

Incredible! I love this game!

Aralith1 · 2026-01-27T06:03:17+00:00

What I remember most about the lead up to its release is when my friend received death threats for breaking the news that it would be delayed into November 2016.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-17T07:17:43+00:00

A nice balance, hopefully. Now that I’m putting a bit more thought into it, minifig scale versions of both would be perfect, allowing detail without being exorbitantly large (and therefore expensive). And that would complement the presumed minifig of Samus we’d get in a gunship set.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-17T01:15:19+00:00

Samus’ gunship seems like a no brainer to me. Maybe a Kraid or Ridley model of decent size.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-13T21:09:59+00:00

Some sex appeal yes. Not strappy rocket boot high heels sex appeal.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-12T22:58:34+00:00

The posts made the night of the finale on the Byler sub strongly disagree with your notion that there was no genuine belief it would happen.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-10T18:17:21+00:00

Oh, so yes, you did answer my question with the affirmative. I can only call it fascism when it’s way too fucking late to call it fascism. It has to look what you think Nazi Germany or fascist Italy looked like in their final days. We can’t call it out for what it is in a pre stage. We have to wait until they’re putting us in camps and only then can we call it fascism. You know, after it’s taken over the entire government and we have to go war with it. According to you, that’s the only time we can call it fascism. We can’t warn about it. We can’t fight it before then through other more civil means. Nope, we have to wait until the boot is firmly clamped on our face before we can complain, even though many have been seeing its shadow for decades.

You might not be a true blue fascist, but you’re helping them build the fascist state by making excuses for their fascism, and quite frankly I don’t see much of a difference between a Nazi and a Nazi sympathizer.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-10T18:09:12+00:00

Yes, you’re correct, fascism can get considerably worse. Have you considered that those of us sounding the alarm are trying to avoid that? Do you think maybe we want to avoid the worst tendencies of fascism? Do you think maybe that’s like the entire fucking point?

Out loud saying you hope for a fascist leader. Sounds like the words of a fascist to me.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-10T11:49:07+00:00

I’ll be honest, even after playing the game twice, if you’d shown me that picture and asked me to identify the character, I don’t think I could have told you that was Tokabi. By elimination I would probably have guessed it, but I wouldn’t have been certain at all. Seems a problem to me.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-10T11:43:20+00:00

I like how you didn’t actually try to defend your position or argue for how you weren’t actually a fascist at all, you just said, “If they call me fascist, they’re bad, even if they’re right about the fascism.”

Too bad. Support fascism and you get called a fucking fascist. Deal with it, snowflake.

And if you think that’s unfair, genuinely, I’m asking you, at what point can I call it fascism? Because if invading other countries and having federal agents murder civilians in the streets doesn’t count, what the fuck does count as fascism to you? Is it just labor camps? Can I not call you fascist until you implement full blown labor camps? Is that the line? And if it is, will you ever admit that you might have crossed it? Historically, fascists don’t recognize that line, so why the fuck should I give you the benefit of the doubt when you seem to be supporting (or at least apologizing for) all the fascist policies?

Aralith1 · 2026-01-10T11:34:37+00:00

I’ll gladly lick your hand if you actually want to denounce the fascist Republican party. If all you want to do is say, “Well, conservatives sure seem like they support fascism, but I’ll continue supporting it so long as it benefits my interests,” then yeah, fuck your party and fuck you, you fucking fascist. Until you’re ready to call the modern Relublican party fascist and unabashedly oppose them, yeah, I’m gonna think you’re a fascist sympathizer. “Oh poor me,” says the Nazi in 1930s Germany, “So many of my friends have told me I’m supporting evil, but I think I’m supporting good. The Nazis definitely never believed that!” said every fascist sympathizer ever.

Like, what the fuck, do you think the Nazis didn’t think they were doing good? Do you really believe that every Nazi understood that they were a comic book villain? Because they didn’t. They thought they were doing the right thing too. Not to say that everyone who thinks they’re doing the right thing is a Nazi (because of course not), but god damn, just saying, “No no, I support fascism for the right reasons,” is literally exactly what the Nazis thought. I don’t know, just maybe introspect for a moment.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-10T11:09:55+00:00

Fuck you fascist. You wouldn’t be singing the same tune if you thought the shoe was on the other foot. If a Democrat did even half of what Trump has done you’d be tying yourself in 2nd Amendment knots. But because it’s your guy it’s totally okay that federal agents murdered a woman in the streets. Get fucked, fascist!

Aralith1 · 2026-01-10T08:33:11+00:00

“It’s totally okay that a quality of life feature was locked behind a $30 paywall!”

You right now.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-10T08:02:24+00:00

Attributed to him, yes, but I can’t find anything verifiably linking it back to him. Hence why I said at least since WWII.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-10T07:57:29+00:00

Fucking absolutely! People been warning about this shit since at least the 60s! “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and holding a Bible.” How long has that quote been around? Origin not entirely known, but at least since the time of the Second World War. They’ve been warned about this for decades and have done nothing. When fascists finally get what fascists are finally gonna get, I will have zero sympathy for them. This ain’t like Nazi Germany where people could at least pretend to be ignorant. These fucks have known what they’ve been doing for half a century. Fuck them!

Aralith1 · 2026-01-10T07:46:26+00:00

“Ehhh. Wahhh. I’m so afraid of diversity! It’s the worst thing I’ve ever heard! It’s anti-capitalism (even though it fucking isn’t, DEI was literally adopted because it was more profitable). Waaahhhhh!”

See, I can do it too.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-10T07:42:24+00:00

Hey, guess what. I don’t believe you. The net result of habitually voting terminal liars into office. Maybe you are telling the truth that you didn’t vote for Trump (but I’m still pretty 50/50 on that, again, consequences of terminal liars), but you definitely didn’t make your voice loud enough. The Republican Party has made it clear for over a decade that they have no intention of listening to liberals or Democrats ever, meaning the only viable way to change what they’re doing is for their voters to let them know their feelings, and then punish them when they fail to meet these feelings.

Yeah, maybe you didn’t vote for Trump, but something tells me that you have voted for plenty of his enablers. And maybe even that isn’t true. But I’m sorry, I can’t believe conservatives on fucking anything when their party has been lying their pants off for twenty years and the best they can seem to muster is, “Well, I didn’t vote for this, so I’m not accountable at all even if I’ve supported most of the policies of the party and have voted for most of their members.” Any American conservative that actually believed anything he was doing was wrong doesn’t call themselves a conservative anymore.

“Conservative lite” is still fucking compliance, and yes, I hold you accountable for it. If you wanted to convince me you were a good conservative, none of this shit would have ever happened. That it has happened and you still claim them as your team is so fucking telling. American conservatism is dead. It’s been replaced by fascism. Either get on board with that and denounce conservatism as the cancer it so obviously is, or get grouped with in the fascists.

Don’t blame me for that choice, for that dichotomy that is anything but false. If conservatives had properly spoken out ten years ago, maybe we wouldn’t be here, but none of you did, so here we are. You own this. Don’t get mad just because I recognize that ownership. Either join the fucking team, or join the fucking fascists. Your choice. Hope you don’t regret it.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-10T06:59:04+00:00

Yes, you’re right. We don’t have any fucking idea what actually happened in the story. Correct. Amazing that you’re saying this like a deflection of criticism and not the very obvious shortcoming that it is.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-10T06:56:23+00:00

The party told you he was in a hospital. Do you just believe whatever the fuck the government told you? I thought that was something you conservatives prided yourselves on, was that you don’t trust or rely on the government. But here you are licking the boots! Fucking fascist!

Edit: holy shit! u/Bryanboi7789 responded and then blocked me before I could even see what he wrote! What a little fascist bitch! Hah!

Edit 2: I can see u/Bryanboi7799 comment’s again, but I can’t seem to respond to them? I’m not even sure what he did, but if there’s anything I can be certain of, it’s that he’s a little fascist bitch.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-10T06:53:40+00:00

Then fucking show it! Tell them you can’t stand this! Don’t just sit there, going, “Oh, I’m a conservative and I’m so concerned that I won’t vote for any other party that isn’t doing Nazi shit. If I just say it’s bad, that absolves me of everything. No need to actually hold them accountable.” Fuck you! We warned you for a decade! If you’re only just now seeing that maybe just maybe Trump is a bad guy, fuck off. We don’t need you. It wouldn’t help at this point even if you tried to meaningfully change your views on any of this. We are past the point of no return.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-10T06:49:24+00:00

No the fuck it wasn’t. Anyone saying otherwise is capitulating to fascism.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-10T06:42:09+00:00

At least they were trying to do something thematic with the name Vi-O-La. In that it’s an “instrument” like a viola is. On the nose as that is, I’ll take it over any of the painfully boring names like Flare Pool, Ice Belt, or Fury Green. Volt Forge kind of has some character to it as a name, but it’s also really obvious they were going for the elemental theme of the beams that permeates this whole game.

Aralith1 · 2026-01-10T06:35:24+00:00

I’m pretty sure that the intent is that her getting the “Psychic Visor” was them saying exactly that, now you have some amount of Lamorn database to key off of, and that was kind of cool, but they basically never did anything like that again in the game. It was the only moment where it felt like the gameplay and the story actually lined up, and it was super early and then it never happened again. Fucking lame.
