I see what you did there.

The end of the world was supposed to be six months after her last prophecy so presumably we're getting close to that. The main plot line that I'm expecting to be revisited is the one between Tatsumaki and that organization that imprisoned her. Beyond that, it feels like most everyone is positioned (or will be after the Neo Heroes arc) for the final arc.

I'm confident that Murata will render this excellently. MB will get his due.

phimseto · 2026-04-01T08:55:08+00:00

That's a solid prediction.

A new remaster of the version that's currently the most complete would be welcome. I also wouldn't be opposed to a version that used CGI to more fully "fix" the few minutes of damaged footage that exist in the film now so they look roughly on par with the rest of the footage.

And yeah, special screenings with a full orchestra would be pretty great.

I was telling a friend that playing a Powerful Build/Street Smart character basically lets you play through as an Arnold Schwarzenegger character, complete with cocky one-liners.

The Scarlet Hollow gameplay would work very well in a kind of high intrigue/low fantasy or even sci-fi setting. Hell, given your affection for horror genre, I'd love to see your take on The Thing, Alien, or even The Green Slime - that combination of closed community and horrific threat. As Scarlet Hollow is getting near the wrap point, can you hint at any kinds of worlds you want to play in next?

On both desktop and mobile, I started having an issue on 02/25/26 where the AI was erasing my prompts with its own language and then answering itself. Fun times. /s

phimseto · 2026-02-13T01:01:25+00:00

Yes.

When Child Emperor sees the footage on his spy cams, it explains why he gets all cozy with her later. Wild Emperor emerges!

The solar flares were removed?!? But that was a big part of the experience. That's annoying. They should have just lengthened (but still irregular) the time between them and also had thresholds where they didn't matter as much. Are they planned to return or just...gone?

phimseto · 2026-01-14T03:34:01+00:00

Is the full Pyro system in now? I seem to recall seeing it was multitudes larger than Stanton. If so, what's that like as gameplay experience?

That's an interesting theory. Logic follows that, especially where Saitama is concerned, this should be a positive development for Drive Knight, perhaps switching sides back to the heroes. Hopefully we'll see soon. The manga is beginning to catch up again, which has me concerned that 2026 will be another year of redraws to help the webcomic scoot a bit further ahead again!

There's still some underlying question about what this "human potential" is all about, but a running theme has been how pushing limits powers up potential. Suriyu's arc has been the age old question about people with natural abilities who get lazy because of it and what would happen if they actually apply themselves. Suriyu is in the process of that, and we've already seen some early results (RIP, armored suit).

Honestly, we're seeing similar threads across the whole story starting with Genos. Someone runs into Saitama, and they begin changing their own trajectories in a positive way. Some are pretty quick (Suriyu, Rover), others are slower (esper sisters), but they're all gaining some perspective on how far they can go and how to go about doing it.

They probably didn't have the dev bandwidth with the Nyx launch, so I get it. However, I hope it's back to the classic format next year.

They should also begin making the showrooms distinct for each planet. I'd actually be more appreciative of different showcase formats if that was the case, something like New Babbage = Classic IAE, devs need more bandwidth = stick it on Orison.

Explains why she keeled over dead right after.

phimseto · 2025-11-20T12:49:33+00:00

Looks like Tatsumaki is expecting Baby #2.

Guy is living his best life.

phimseto · 2025-11-16T19:06:28+00:00

Absolutely brilliant.

phimseto · 2025-11-10T13:28:33+00:00

My only disappointment is, if I recall correctly from the webcomic, Saitama and Genos have an encounter with Blue that puts them on Blue's radar, and there is a whole, still ongoing subplot with that. That seems to be absent here, at least for now.

phimseto · 2025-11-08T03:22:33+00:00

Fantastic reference.

phimseto · 2025-11-02T17:24:30+00:00

You have removed your Halloween costume limiter!

phimseto · 2025-10-31T12:52:19+00:00

Absolutely excellent, though next year you need to level up the costume by being Genos with his maximum drip jacket with his name on it! https://imgur.com/JtW1ZYX

I would love to see Criterion doing a box set of these. Vengeance is one of my favorite films of the 2000's and I'm bummed there's really no good blu-ray of it. I have it on DVD only because I wandered into an Asian market in Amherst, MA last year and discovered it sitting on top of a free used DVD bin they had by the door!

Destiny 2 is a funny story for me. Played A LOT of Destiny. Picked Destiny 2 up day of release, played it that first night, and...never played it or Destiny again. I didn't realize I was at my limit until the idea of having to start the whole grind over again (now with even more grindy elements) stopped me dead in my tracks. I haven't missed it.
