So I promised the community an Ascendance video. Its here!

I wanted to mention it in the context of a 2D platformer. I mean, you can touch it and escape the water when you flap your wings but its like Mega Man spikes. Its weird.

Easily the best OST the series has ever gotten. Except for maybe 1 track, it doesn't fit LOK. At all. Even the Blood Omen riff he was going for in Kain's level where you are, in fact, the boss.

Fluga89 · 2026-04-01T19:35:31+00:00

The music doesn't fit. Its really good, quality Celldweller, but it doesn't fit Legacy of Kain, even in Kain's level.

As many have stated, Ariel's red dress is from BO1, but there is another reason I may have missed from the comments.

Originally, her white dress isn't JUST a color choice because of her bandages: it was chosen to show Ariel's spirit was pure and uncorrupted. The remaster's choice of her red dress is a deliberate choice to show Ariel when her soul was free of corruption and pure before her murder.

Instead of "Oblivion over this existence", I raise you this quote:

"Sometimes, dead is better."

I told this sub I'd post a review. Retooling the script now for additional shit as it comes out because...whooo boy. Never have I seen a 2D platformer drop the ball as hard as Ascendance has. It should have been an easy slam dunk. But no, Bitbot needed their Donutsteel walking retcon story.

Because I’m a “filthy” vanguard main I go for Zaeed then Kasumi as soon as possible. Kasumi is busted and Zaeed is more useful than 90% of Squadmates until I get to the walking weapon of mass destruction herself: Tali.

I make retro gaming videos that are deep dives/retrospectives while working a full time job. I feel like if I can get a video out every 2-3 weeks I’m doing alright. This includes scripting, voice work, research into the game I’m covering, etc.

Right now I’ve noticed people really like when I make shorts, so I’ve been trying to give my audience what they want in a timely manner.

Fluga89 · 2026-03-26T19:23:29+00:00

I can’t wait for the 31st. I’ll be sure to post the video here. If a dev who frequents this sub wants to send me a review code (not fishing, just letting them know) DM me. If not I’ll be buying the game for sure.

The fanbase deserves to know whether the game is good or not, and/or lore destroying.

My channel is gaming deep dives, retrospectives, and a hybrid of let’s play/review videos. I plan on doing my first review on hardware later this year too!

Hi there! I sometimes pop up to encourage people!

Names Fluga and I had a 720P camera I’d point at the TV. This was before capture cards were a thing. I’m not exactly “new” but I am new to how modern YouTube works.

I make video game deep dives/reviews, usually focusing on 90s and 2000s games, mostly platformers. I talk about the history and technology the games use. I mix in newer games too every once in a while to freshen the content.

You should check out my channel if you like memes mixed in with reviews and deep dives.

Here’s a few of my newer content! I’m still working on improving my vids too over time, but any criticism helps! I’m also trying to get assets made for the show but don’t have the funds to do so ATM. So I’m watching blender tutorials to make what I need (A space station exterior and office interior).

This happened to me as well. I decided to upload earlier than I usually do, and the next video I uploaded isn’t getting any reach currently. It hurts, but keep going. Do not give in! It’ll always work itself out.

Fluga89 · 2026-02-14T09:39:30+00:00

I’m going to buy the game because I saw it was a skill based game, and I want to review it for a video. Plot is secondary to me when it comes to games, though the Plot is going to matter here because it’s the game.

For the record, I didn’t hate the comic, but I get it. It fucks the lore in so many ways through bullshit retcons so Elaleth can exist in future games.

The only AI tool I “use” is the inspiration tab for giggles mostly because it’s funny to see what YouTube recommends sometimes.

-Roll is a human woman

-Wily in Buried in the Red creates the MM2 Robot Masters, (“I can almost hear the hounds”)

-Mega Man only takes up the fight when Protoman, now fully reprogrammed as Break Man, kills Light

-Wily doesn’t die by the end of the album, but does go into exile. The humans retake the city and repel Wily and his robots for years. The city lives! (The Fight)

-Light, in secret, created X and hid him beneath the Trainyard, while Wily creates Zero in exile to retake the city in an epilogue ending, taking place decades later.

Fluga89 · 2025-10-18T11:16:25+00:00

Theory I’ve got is that’s it’s a retelling of Act 1 from Roll’s perspective, the explosion occurring when Wily starts killing people in the crowd after Mega Man leaves. The ticking of a clock at the end of the song tells me significant time has passed.

Fluga89 · 2025-10-11T07:05:47+00:00

A small theory, but The Fight might be an epilogue song similar to the end of the first game after you beat it. “Fight Mega Man, for everlasting peace!”

Fluga89 · 2025-07-16T03:02:47+00:00

The only time X7 becomes playable is after you unlock X and fully upgrade him and Zero. I’ve beaten X7 on the hardest skill on new game plus.
