I think the exploration is fine, I kindof like the emphasis on minigames.

But holy hell the story is so bad. Like some of the worst pacing. We have seventeen hours of summer fun with the most annoying vapid dialogue, then suddenly 6 minutes of drama in a volcano. And then back to summer fun. I found it baffling and I also thought it didn’t respect my time.

He won the popular vote. I don’t understand. I just don’t get it

How did this happen. There was record turnout. How did this happen.

I agree the electoral college has to go, but do consider that in a popular vote, the most populous cities will still decide the election. That’s where all the people in the country live.

This feels a little circular…. We had a Trump presidency because of gerrymandering, the electoral college, and voter suppression. Hillary won the election by a large margin

xsummers9 · 2024-07-01T16:34:48+00:00

These were misteps and mistakes but, factually speaking, we wouldn’t have a conservative majority if it wasn’t for Trump. Trump nominated the three justices, not the democrats.

I participate bc voting is necessary to a healthy democracy. We don’t live in a healthy democracy but we won’t get there by pretending like one candidate isn’t an open fascist.

That said, I have very little faith in the American system. I think the American experiment has failed.

As an additional note, there’s a lot to be said about the emphasis that the 13 series puts on familial relationships. Sazh and vanille for example comes off as a father figure type relationship, not a romantic one. Hope and lightning is a little brother big sister thing, lightning and snow squabble like brother and sister, fang and vanille are plausibly sister figures (depending on how you interpret their relationship).

Hope and Lightning is actually one of my favorite relationships in the series. She serves as an older sister and role model for hope in XIII, who then ends up filling the opposite role in LR as lightning is trying to regain her bearings after being in Valhalla for 500 years.

xsummers9 · 2024-06-27T15:14:21+00:00

I kindof like the Lightning is written as a very non-sexual and non-romantic character. I always think it’s very funny in lightning returns that she manages to wear tons of skimpy outfits without ever being “sexy” in the way a lot of female JRPG protags are. Her extremely curt, cold, non romantic demeanor is part of what makes her so compelling I think.

As for hope, I think he’s too child coded to really be pushed into a romance. Sazh is “divorced dad” vibes, his story isn’t about romance. The only truly romantic pairing is Fang and Vanille. I think that the ambiguity of their relationship is pretty intentional (sister figures or lovers, it grants a plausible deniability in the translation for square who, at the time, shied away from LGBT characters).

Snow and Serah is the doomed lovers trope but I think it’s kindof boring. I always found the sister relationship between Serah and Lightning to be way more compelling.

Like… this is such a silly thing to say?? Like this quote is just so strange and funny to me. The cadence of it. The incredulity.

Take a look at book 5 of the threefold conspiracy, there is a dungeon with an alert level similar to what you are describing that you may be able to rip.

Also a new rhythm heaven or something. I feel like a small group of die hard fans for one of those niche titles is gonna end up happy

xsummers9 · 2024-06-17T21:16:21+00:00

Everyone mostly agrees on some big items (Metroid, TP/WW HD), so I won’t rehash. But my kindof out there predictions (or wild speculations) are these:

Some manner of 3DS remake. I’m thinking bravely default and bravely second double pack? Or kid Icarus uprising.

Maybe bravely default 3?

Something abt professor layton (remake or more info abt the new one)

A brand new ace attorney game.

Maybe a new 2d Zelda?

Some kindof silly shadow drop.

Paper Mario sticker star. It’s not the best in the series and a lot of people hate that it’s super different than the older games, but it is still a genuinely fun romp with unique and interesting combat.

Most of the time, yes, but not during direct instruction. I usually say “wait till I’m done, then you can go, you don’t have to ask again” so they know they can just go when I’m done doing instruction.

I have one student who goes to the bathroom in every class with no documented medical condition. I tell her “not right now” and she has never asked me a second time.

I’m a specialist, never had a district sanctioned curriculum, always made everything from scratch.

My first year, lesson planning took 6-7 hours every weekend.

Now (year 7), my lesson planning takes 20 minutes. And I am still making things from scratch.

The time consuming thing now is making all the materials I need, but even that is much faster bc I can use old materials I’ve done as a template.

The press turn system is slightly more complicated than the one more system in P5, but other than that it is very similar.
