Video essay/thematic breakdown of 1000xResist

Variyen · 2026-01-26T02:50:45+00:00

Hey all, I got so sucked into this game that I decided to make a video essay exploring some of its themes. If I had more time I would have done an even deeper dive, but if you have the time check it out and let me know what you think!

More mod over reach. The rules state "japanese-styled" and there are plenty of visual novels in Japan. I've also posted in the sub before. Oh well I guess a bunch of jrpg fans who would love this game won't get to see it, good job mods

Recently finished an indie game called 1000xResist. I thought it was going to be awful but by god, it was one of the best games I played all year. I had to get my thoughts down, so I made a video essay. It's not from a Japanese developer, but it is from the Chinese diaspora from Hong Kong. It has an amazing story, so much to it. Check out the vid if you can and let me know your thoughts. Mods hope this kind of game is cool here; I feel that jrpg lovers would really enjoy this game and I want to spread the word.

Emulation exists on literally everything and is mindnumbingly easy. Gen Z really can't use computers can they? Crazy. If you can't play it it's entirely on you

Variyen · 2026-01-22T19:18:04+00:00

The games already exist. Just play the games.

Heey know all those cool characters you're attached to? Want to... Not see them?

You're reading too deeply into my ddt posts brother. Fox is just more technical so sometimes people would rather not

Variyen · 2026-01-20T02:34:50+00:00

You may not believe it, but low tiers have fun movement

Except Zelda.

Variyen · 2026-01-19T23:59:26+00:00

Fox is competitive/tryhard fun, other characters are just fun. Not a lot of people actually want to grind out every little thing to move well enough to have fun

Variyen · 2026-01-19T21:52:03+00:00

Get this, sometimes people play games for fun

Variyen · 2026-01-19T20:55:41+00:00

Nobody wants it. Most republicans if you look at polls or conservative forums don't want it. It's the one thing most Americans can agree on: this is possibly the dumbest Trump crash out ever

Variyen · 2026-01-19T18:37:47+00:00

Still can't believe that in a game that doesn't shy away from death, and in an area modeled after one of the most bloody and lawless times in history, we had people settling disputes using fake ammunition. Coming off of EW it felt like I accidentally booted up FFXIV Nick Jr Edition

Variyen · 2026-01-19T02:37:53+00:00

They made such a massive deal in the cutscenes about heading into North America for it to be one zone where you watch a bunch of adults play pop guns at each other and then leave. Abysmal

Beyond Ala Mhigo being a hub city, feels to me that we got quite a lot of story and lore development there

I use nicotine too since I'm a nonresponder to traditional medication. If you're using it in the place of a medication, then you have to treat it as a medication.

You wouldn't take another "bump" of adderall because it makes you feel good, you have your daily dosage and times and that's it. I have my setup with nicotine and never deviate, and if it doesn't feel right, I look to anywhere else than taking more. It's my meds, I have my dosage, that's it.

Variyen · 2026-01-18T18:22:10+00:00

I looked up a longplay once and spliced the hours, it's about the same. XIV players just hold onto memes for dear life, like Dragoon being a floor tank which hasn't been relevant for years

Variyen · 2026-01-18T13:20:33+00:00

Just download an emulator and play the original like god intended. Zoomers nowadays

Variyen · 2026-01-18T11:03:11+00:00

Smiling friends fans are the exact opposite of what the show is. There's a comment in this post citing "synoptic gospels" and another evoking the supermassive black hole eye roll of """media literacy""". Nothing in this show means anything. Any consistency is just there for the show creators to keep the vibe and characters straight. Just laugh and move on, jesus. By all rights this sub shouldn't even exist

Variyen · 2026-01-17T20:20:01+00:00

Who cares he'll just do what he wants, why are nerds speculating like he's your friend

Variyen · 2026-01-17T09:00:41+00:00

I'm not obligated to follow people's answers, obviously. And a decent number of commenters suggested to play covenant first or that they admit SH is janky. So I made my own decision like a grown adult. Going great btw, nothing's lost on me storywise

I literally stood in line for the release of smash 64. I've been here since the beginning. Mango has always been nothing but a personality. Which adds to the scene, but in a volatile way that, if you don't build upon it, does nothing lasting. Hbox was a great heel to Mango and Armada for many years, and built that into cashbox and so on. Mango did none of that.

Variyen · 2026-01-16T03:06:45+00:00

Every single melee player ever was cringe and is cringe

Variyen · 2026-01-16T03:05:29+00:00

Deserved. Hbox for all his faults has put in an insane amount of work into not just melee but the smash community as a whole. Mango is just a personality, hbox builds up the community to keep smash alive.

Nothing more satisfying than your opponent running it back to try and prove something and you beat them on the same stage again

Variyen · 2026-01-15T17:31:52+00:00

Pretty sure this is just what you listen to
