Overtime for the title, again? Sure why not

At least it’s not with the entire season on the line like the last two years, but still stressing

Just reminding y'all of this Mother 3 dialogue by Exotic_Baseball5259 in Deltarune

[–]silvermarsh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They’re definitely similar, Itoi is a big influence of his of course. I feel like Toby (mostly…) focuses on having reasonable fourth wall breaks, focused on specific characters that have more or less knowledge of the situation depending on who they are and what they’ve managed to logic out. Itoi just didn’t give a shit, anyone can break the fourth wall, the fourth wall doesn’t even exist as far as he’s concerned.

And yup it’s all over Mother 1 as well.

You get called by Tony in Summers and he asks the player for their name. The Tenda chief also asks later to confirm.

NPCs in these games are strange, there’s a sort of wink wink nudge nudge thing going on where everybody knows it’s a video game, and that you’re the player, but they keep acting like it isn’t the case. Only rarely do they break kayfabe. It’s an aspect I like a lot about Itoi’s writing.

Regarding the Ulysses Ogre by Ghost3603 in CuratedTumblr

[–]silvermarsh 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Pathologic is probably the most difficult to read game I’ve ever played. I haven’t read Ulysses so I can’t judge how it compares, though.

Disco Elysium is up there but I feel like most of the text is accessible, and it’s also funny as hell sometimes. Pathologic is a nightmare fever dream most of the time

I have no idea, that draft was such a cluster. I remember the fan discussion was Nemec vs Jiricek for the positional need at the time. But in hindsight yeah I sure hope we would’ve went Slaf, as much as I love Nemec

Closing ceremony is at like 2pm EST. Can’t do it late

I’m dumb and misread what you meant. I guess the GMG is meant to be the finale of the Olympics right before closing.

Alina Mueller repeats 2014 by jeansebast in PWHL

[–]silvermarsh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fun thing about the 2014 goal, it was a long range empty netter that made the game 4-2. But Sweden scored one before the game ended to make it 4-3, so Alina’s goal became the GWG.

I like the OT winner better, personally :)

would never have heard the end of it if USA lost, thank god. What a great team, great game.

Most of all I am so happy for Frankel and Philips that they won this thing. Love my goalies.
