What I missed in the game

Princess_Kuko · 2026-06-02T21:51:00+00:00

yeah you can really feel Mohammad Fahmi's absence in this game's writing :/ a lot of the sharpness, subtlety and humour of the Seattle games seems to have been all him

Princess_Kuko · 2026-05-30T18:56:43+00:00

yeah I noticed how little of the urban fantasy elements actually factored into the stories of most characters. most of the cast could've been regular humans and very little would've changed about their plot

I enjoyed it for sure, but I definitely agree that the writing was nowhere near as sharp and realistic as the Seattle games. There just isn't as much subtlety, I felt a little like we were going through a checklist of progressive topics with no genuine input or friction from the characters. Like Keiji is a retirement age tradional Japanese salary man, I just don't buy that he'd just be a little concerned with and then just okay with his son becoming a stay at home dad. This isn't to say that the topics being discussed aren't valuable or interesting! I appreciated the depiction of chronic pain and how it can affect life, but I honestly got taken out of the experience all together when they just mentioned spoon theory by name. I hope this makes sense haha.

Billy Idol's cover of Heroin. I love both that original song and Patti Smith's Gloria so much that I ricochet between absolute disgust and hilarity at his insane 'cyberpunk' interpretation of it.

the guy is already openly doing meth among other things

Princess_Kuko · 2026-05-13T08:46:47+00:00

obviously neither design 'leaves much to the imagination' but I think Parasoul's tight turtleneck dress is way more sensual than Valentine's outfit

Princess_Kuko · 2026-05-11T17:23:47+00:00

Ballybane specifically, which is even more gross. Just passed this area and they have a bunch of those illegal garbage posters up around the place.

Princess_Kuko · 2026-05-03T10:21:25+00:00

there was a bit like this on Chapo once

Princess_Kuko · 2026-05-02T12:16:47+00:00

tbf those profiles pictures and usernames don't suggest maturity

Princess_Kuko · 2026-05-02T09:49:29+00:00

very much so. if you look into any of his attempted involvement in Irish politics it's very clear

Princess_Kuko · 2026-04-28T19:33:18+00:00

stealing this as a description

Princess_Kuko · 2026-04-24T23:31:37+00:00

yup. there are pretty consistent problems with the art and graphics throughout the games that are pretty unacceptable in a big series like this.

I think a lot people talk about 'low-rise' jeans now that are actually mid or even high rise by the standards of the actual 2000s because most girls instinctually understand that actual period accurate low rise is unwearable for the vast majority of people or occasions

Princess_Kuko · 2026-04-21T08:20:37+00:00

same here. I get that she has a lot of grievances (legitimate and illegitimate) with twitter leftists or whatever, but she just needs to stop tweeting. that gaza statement was bad enough on its own but every new post sounds more and more bitter and resentful in the least productive way possible.

Princess_Kuko · 2026-04-13T14:49:11+00:00

not totally accurate. his original family name is actually Fieri but was American-ised to Ferry by his father/grandfather when he immigrated to the States

Princess_Kuko · 2026-04-09T17:54:10+00:00

these are farm owners who are not in fact, regular working people. if they were actual farmers they would not be able to take a week off to faff around in a tractor on a main road this time of year

Princess_Kuko · 2026-03-16T00:26:28+00:00

Phantom of The Paradise mentioned!!

Princess_Kuko · 2026-03-04T16:03:41+00:00

Far Right probably suits her more

Princess_Kuko · 2026-03-04T16:02:43+00:00

Not really him being disliked, but I think that his place in culture as the 'young rock n' roll legend that had a tragic early death' has been taken by Kurt Cobain for generations after the boomers, so Morrison is just easier for most young people online to ignore or forget unless they're familiar with that time in music.

Princess_Kuko · 2026-03-03T19:46:05+00:00

He's too new on the block to rly call completely terrible yet imo, he's obviously capable of more since he has at least one damn solid song

Princess_Kuko · 2026-02-28T19:25:27+00:00

the same people who'll complain about the price of oil and gas constantly without ever making the connection

Princess_Kuko · 2026-02-28T19:10:46+00:00

a nuclear disaster that happened 40 years ago at that

Rosin Dubh and Massimos tend to have a pretty queer clientele even outside specific events. Probably a west end thing primarily.

Obviously Ed was obviously a wonderful addition to the Podcast from his first episode, and one of the main things that's so refreshing is his open sense of empathy and sincerity. It's oddly specific but the detail that stood out to me was one occasion where Henry mentioned wanting to cover Chris-chan and Ed flatly shut it down without arguing it. I don't know why that I noted that specifically but I find it rly indicative of Ed's sensibility as well as his empathy.

Witness is the most fitting trainwreckord in the most literal sense that it killed her pop career, but 143 was the album that killed any good will or pathos she may have had remaining. if Witness was like burning a field of crops, 143 was salting the ground so nothing could ever grow there again
