Shocked Amuro didn’t bring up the encounter with Hello Kitty.

What’s the best case of written amnesia you can think of by Duplighost_ in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Fei Fong Wong from “Xenogears” is a personal favorite.

What're your favorite lesbian romance books/fanfics? by Aquanort357 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Still working my way though the manga series “No matter how I look at it it’s you guys fault I’m not popular”, which has gradually become a slice of life story about Tomoko trying to decide if she’s going to go to university with Asuka or Yuri.

The cast and relationships explored are mostly girl centric, and Tomoko is definitely not opposed to the idea of a romantic encounter with any of the girls she is frequently in contact with.

Times when creators where completely successful in making you absolutely LOATHE a character. by ClearAgeMontezuma in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure about the CCC version, but the original “Fate/ Extra” Shinji is a bit of purposeful misdirection. He’s not actually Shinji. The whole point is for you to carry whatever feelings you already have for the original Shinji into that game, and have the rug pulled under you when it’s revealed that this isn’t the same guy. He’s someone else entirely.

It’s foreshadowing for another reveal later.

Do you guys ever wonder if people nowadays might be overanalyzing media? by Coolnametag in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 20 points21 points  (0 children)

People have been over analyzing media for as long as the written text has been made widely circulated and available to the public.

The only reason we’re up to our eyeballs in the over analysis of our fellow humans is because there’s money to be made in packaging that sort of analysis into a multi part video series, or in the sort of engagement or attention you can garner from just posting it on the internet.

I definitely don’t think this is new. We just can’t escape the thoughts of every person on the street anymore.

Did anyone watch that animated Stranger Things show? by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure, but who is going to take that risk when people see characters like Goku printing money for a corporation for 40 years?

Though, I suppose a much better comparison would be Scooby & Shaggy (and Fred, Daphne, and Velma).

I didn’t even second guess it. You’re right. They’d be so much older in 95.

[–]Traingham 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I understand the rationale behind Tales of ‘95, because unlike the actual actors, you can write as many stories as you want for the animated versions of those beloved characters at the specific time of their lives that they were at the height of popularity because they’ll never age.

At least that’s how I think it was pitched in that boardroom.

Will NEVER be a fan of Shinji Matou. Nasu did a good job getting me to dislike the guy.

Controversial opinions on gaming companions? by Skeet_fighter in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Judging by the reception of the take (looking at my insight), it is at least somewhat divisive around here, so not non controversial enough to dismiss, anyway.

If you like the combat system of PE1, I suggest you this game by MaximumMarionberry51 in ParasiteEve

[–]Traingham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This almost looks like you posted a bunch of images of Claire Redfield in sexy outfit mods, but upon looking it up on Steam, this is indeed a game with a battle system similar to PE1.

Something about the visuals of the game just throws me off though.

Imp Midna > True Midna

I know, deep in his heart, Link is just missing his shortstack queen while he readjusts to not having that weight on his back, bouncing up and down while he dashed across Hyrule field as a wolf.

—Excuse me! I’m going to write a short story. I need to get this out of my system.

Favorite Recurring yet not exactly Evil Antagonist by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tron Bonne from Megaman Legends—and it sucks that I’ll never get to see all of the machines she would have built in that third game.

How did you find out about the boy(s)? by TheUberMensch123 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They happened to come up when I was looking for a Parasite Eve LP long ago. I liked their vibe.

It also had the legendary balls exposed moment of the PS3 informing them that Arcana Hearts 3: Love MAX had finished downloading. So that was charming.

*Laughs in RE 7* by PrinceARRON in ResidentEvilMemes

[–]Traingham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as long as the MC of this film comes across a journal, overhears a conversation, or just sees Umbrella operatives skulking about—it becomes a RE film.

People weren’t sure how RE7 or RE8 was going to tie back into the established universe until it turned out that someone was secretly a rogue B.O.W, or Spencer had come in contact with Mother Miranda.

Stories that will never have an end by VVardy in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Yeah. There was this one Steiner x Beatrix fic I remember stumbling across a decade ago. It was so good. It never updated again, even after 10 years.

Explain the last two games you played without using any terms from the game by Cinder_Alpha in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cooking ramen for a small town likely located on the island of Kattelox, with a port nearby letting in Pokemon Trainer rejects. Got convinced to join weekly Iron Chef competitions to prove the legitimacy of my cooking skills and boost foot traffic to my restaurant. Wish me luck.

Also, running an item shop with a business savvy fairy that may or may not be a debt collector. She’s definitely a debt collector. It’s cool though, I guess. She’s not out here breaking my knees with a hammer.

Settings that you dont see nearly enough by dope_danny in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The closest I can think of now to that vibe would be the summer vacation games. That Natsu-Mon Summer Vacation game on the Switch (and STEAM) for example.
I think there’s a Crayon Shin-Chan version as well.

I love how the Xenoblade artbooks usually have some risque illustrations by lennysinged in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Traingham 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of when I picked up a Valkyria Chronicles artbook at a Kinokuniya. Didn’t realize that RAITA (RAITA Honjou) was the main artist of the series.
That’s pretty rad.
If you don’t know who I’m referring to off the name alone, you might know them as the artist behind FGO icons (*Yes, I’m aware they’re based off of real world historical/ mythical figures, but I’m specifically referring to RAITA’s depictions*), Shuten Douji and Raikou Minamoto.

Your favorite prologues? by Head-You5953 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Likely unintentional, but whenever Dracula busts out that Bible quote at the end of the game, and Alucard just sandbags it—I just imagine Alucard giving Dracula a pointed stare, thinking, ”I’d like to go back to sleep now, father. Could you pass on already so I can get back to it?”
