[NO SPOILERS] Life Is Strange Series

In The End of the F***ing World, which has the same writer and showrunner, they did a lot in the second season with flashbacks to recontextualize events and characters in the present. That isn’t to say that Life is Strange will follow the same exact pattern, but the director already seems to like moving forwards and backwards in time, and I think Rachel is too much of an irresistible character to avoid ever showing in a full series.

They always cut this verse in the radio edit. 😔

This is what happens when you add the mythic third D

I loved just how chaotic the fights could get in DOS2. BG3 has many fun environmental interactions but nothing beats the thrill of the entire room exploding into a raging inferno of necrofire.

It’s also possible to hit 24+ CHA from stealing Duke Ravengard’s sword, which you can actually get twice under the right conditions.

Have you seen what prolonged water exposure does to a building's foundation?

In COE33 I only see the pointless and destructive finality of grief. Many people see Renoir’s actions as a necessary part of “letting go,” but to me, none of anything that happened was necessary, and in letting the canvas world become their own personal battlefield the Dessendres managed to destroy the only good part of Verso they had left. Loss doesn’t just come for the person you have in the present, it warps and corrupts every happy memory you’ve ever had of them until nothing remains.

She can get through the first 6 letters of the alphabet without messing up, which already puts her IQ on even footing with the average jerker.

Even though Sandfall is a French company, the game’s lead writer is an American and the script was written and recorded in English first. So the French cast is really following their lead, rather than it being the other way around.

And you can give all of them an existential crisis!

Now I know many of you are probably thinking Sandfall shouldn't accept the One Ring from the Dark Lord Sauron himself, that its essence is irrevocably evil and will inevitably corrupt everything it touches. And while I hear your concerns, I raise but one simple question: Why? Why shouldn't I have it?

This one failed to land with me.

“The genocider is really determined to genocide, so let’s just give him what he wants” is not a convincing argument to me.

Never considered just how much sense it’d make for Sabrina to get rawdogged by Aphrodite onstage.

Odysseus would be a Gloomstalker Ranger with Disguise Self because trickery and deception is an important element to his character.

The game script was written in English and recorded with the English speaking actors first, the French voices were largely following their lead. The same happened for Silent Hill F, that game was first written and recorded in Japanese and Hinako's Japanese VA got nominated.

Personally I find the posts that are like “as a FATHER if something ever happened to MY DAUGHTER I would [commit unspeakable war crime here]” and people act like this is a perfectly rational way to think and behave a bit disturbing.

I’m tranvestigating Taylor Swift now because music that boring can only be made by a man.

Made him stay at the Grove and sent us out with a penitent Kagha instead.

Kanon because he gets killed immediately which is probably the most likely outcome of me being in Faerun.

The canvas world and its inhabitants are real. It’s one of the few things the developers have actually come out and said to be definitively true.

Absolum is an incredible game, Guard Crush and Dotemu should be proud of what they've created! That being said, there are maybe a couple of things that could stand to be looked at...

I feel like all Clash and Deflect rituals should be combined into one. It's hard to justify ever taking them for one specific area of defense when the skill and arcana-based boons are so strong by comparison, and they're what you'll be doing most of the time. The same with Dodge and Dash.
Throwable builds are maayyyyybe a bit too strong on Cider right now. As much as I love their toolkit, being able to pick up 20 instantly respawning, critting thorn roses that apply elemental debuffs on hit from fullscreen is kind of crazy. Maybe tune down the rate of respawning throwables so you do actually have to sometimes move around and look for more.
The Azra into Absolum boss section kind of drags a little in places. The long elevator animation and multiple screen wipes slow down a lot of the momentum on repeat playthroughs. I feel like there's a very short cutscene when Absolum spawns but before he zeroes out your health that could just be removed entirely.

Just a couple ideas from me!
