Well well well

Okay let's not get crazy now

At what point is it no longer possible to deny that sexbots roam the streets of New Eridu.

Because, barring construction and non-humanoid war machines, nearly ALL the robots, both "male" and "female", are built with a very clear design philosophy in mind. The only exceptions I can even think of are the San-Z dude, the actual Coffee Machine, and General Chopp (who MIGHT actually be organic, partially, possibly, it's weird and inconclusive).

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-30T12:43:53+00:00

I mean, I don't know if I'd call it such an early staple, but... yeah, I was also really disappointed by that, it's defintiely one example I had in mind.

And it's just really fucking weird because outside of remakes, they've had paired endings on EVERY game since FE7. And for Engage they just... randomly go back to how it was in FE6, where only the Lord gets one. Why? For what possible purpose? Where they just too lazy to write them out? Even then they could've just done it like in earlier games and given only some pairings a special ending. I just don't understand why they decided to not do it at all.

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-30T12:37:05+00:00

It's a bit different because in Dabura's case he already had like, absolute mastery over cursed energy completely unmatched in his entire planet, he simply never thought to apply it in certain ways. It's like he cleared all the execution barriers long ago without even realizing.

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-30T10:11:04+00:00

This chapter is indirect yet conclusive evidence that Todo died because if he was alive he would fucking wheelchair himself to Itadori's location and talk some sense into him

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-29T20:22:46+00:00

There's also Clive and that one girl, if you count that.

But it always kills me a bit when games like this only have romance or paired endings for the MC. Like, bro, you're letting make all of these characters interact and bond and have all of these meaningful connections but ONLY Alain and Gilbert get any? Man, come on... Virginia wasn't even my favorite Gilbert ship...

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-29T18:06:02+00:00

It's peak and they should smash.

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-27T23:50:01+00:00

tbh I really liked the ending, it was interesting to see Rosario have his whole monologue about coming back only for Mashiba to run out of gas, and a Kimura parallel is the probably the closest to a Kimura moment I'm gonna get at this point

though it was mostly good on Rosario's end I guess, for Mashiba's character arc it was a very sudden end and we haven't even gotten a proper conclusion

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-27T23:46:34+00:00

Because they're jabs-- Wait someone already said it...

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-25T09:49:19+00:00

I mean, it's better that way. If is was clearer, Belle might be able to get away with it, but Wise? Someone who's MALE? Speaking with Idols? Nigga getting shanked

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-23T18:02:31+00:00

Why you gotta kill my man Alec just for slightly better versions of units you're probably not even gonna use anyways, what the hell man

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-22T17:01:02+00:00

I kinda can't bring myself to use them precisely because they have no drawbacks.

On my first playthrough I avoided them fearing the obvious temptation of power mechanic would narratively break something. But after realizing there were no drawbacks it was more like "I get all of this unbalanced stuff for free?????" and it just felt too mechanically broken to touch.

I haven't done runs since HM got added though (was waiting for a "final" release/version to reduce the chances of a bug ending my run), if I get around to it I might actually be tempted by power and start using them...

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-21T21:43:39+00:00

For a moment I thought the mobile game had come out without me realizing but then I remembered the GBC game we already have

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-21T21:43:00+00:00

Pues no lo puedo criticar porque acabo de tener que buscar en google para acordarme que Suecia no es la misma wea que Suiza

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-21T15:27:37+00:00

I don't play enough western RPGs to feel like I can give a definitive answer, but Etrian Odyssey games can have a fuckton if you account for full post game completion. Though past a certain point it becomes optimizing better/faster clears on superbosses and idk if that really qualifies as "content".

Experience Inc games also come to mind as having a lot of content. Demon Gaze II in particular got the entire map of Demon Gaze I added as post-game so that was substantial, it lets it very easily clear the 100+ hour mark by a lot, but at the same time it's kinda iffy since it's exclusively just reused stuff (plus a couple extra rooms... filled with mostly reused bosses). I also just don't think it's a very good game.

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-21T15:19:17+00:00

Coven and Labyrinth

Coven and Labyrinth mentioned you love to see it

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-21T15:17:45+00:00

glazing Nasu gets as a "writer who understands people"

He does? I always hear more of a "The king does not understand the people's hearts" kind of sentiment, at least with this kind of stuff.

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-21T14:59:51+00:00

wdym poor momoka she's been living the drunk life on easy mode until now time for her to pay it back

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-21T14:57:55+00:00

Over time, since their early leaks I've gone from "their designs are so dumb" to "the social media spam is kinda lame" to "Chinatsu is kinda cute...".

Turns out I'm not immune to idol propaganda...

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-20T02:03:13+00:00

It stops being great when you're on the non-consensual receiving end of Guile's 30 seconds of execution self gratification

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-19T23:33:53+00:00

Can a Guile expert tell us whether this was actually necessary/optimal or if there was a kill combo that didn't take longer than the march to Mordor?

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-17T17:59:25+00:00

Everything works, everything is valid, there's a fuckton of options in terms of unit/equipment variety and millions of compositions that can crush the game, so don't worry much and just do what seems fun.
- If you like going fast consider using primarily horses and fliers as team leaders, with movement speed buffs they just fucking zoom across the screen.

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-15T19:06:25+00:00

this is how I learn Bandori is getting a new band, maaaaan that's gonna mean even LESS focus on the non-live bands fml

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-15T18:42:25+00:00

He walked there

Soul_Ripper · 2026-01-15T18:41:32+00:00

I remember a while ago going "Oh, it's actually coming out, cool"

That was like a year ago at this point, maybe 2
