@SAjoats @AI_EmeraldApple I usually don't really agree with ppl who ragebait for the sake of ragebait, but I think it's better to inform you Annapurna old devs has mostly resigned by 2024, which includes most, if not all, of Stray devs. Annapurna *is* in a very worrying state, political stuffs aside.

@AI_EmeraldApple Really? You never heard of Stray Neon White 12 minutes Kentucky Route Zero Journey Outer Wilds Flower What Remains of Edith Finch

It is confirmed. Mixtape is a nepo-backed astroturfed game. It is developed by a small Australian studio, Beethoven and Dinosaur, and funded by Annapurna Interactive, headed by Megan Ellison. Yes, THAT Ellison family, where her father Larry Ellison, who is one of the most connected to Israel's elites, donated over $16 million in 2017 alone. Larry's son, David Ellison's Skydance/Paramount, secured nearly $24 billion in equity investments from the Saudi public investment fund, plus others from Qatar and Abu Dhabi. Meanwhile Larry himself is personally funding portions of the equity commitments in the media deals. That means Annapurna Interactive, with family ties to the Ellison wealth, has incredibly deep pockets that most indies could only dream of. This is why they were able to secure expensive music licences, massive marketing, and a multiplatform launch. No evidence that Israel or Middle East money touched the game, but the money is in the family and family talk. Critics are eating it up like slop with near-universal 9-10 of 10 ratings, while the players are skipping it, calling it an overrated walking sim. Annapurna Interactive markets itself as a "prestige" publisher, which aligns with the "high class" artsy vibe that critics love, but the audience doesn't care for. Their only massive commercial success was Stray, the cat game... Meanwhile, pretty much every other game published by Annapurna was a flop or niche... and this one is proving the same as well, with barely 2000 people playing the game on steam.

#Nioh3Code Here's mine inspired by someone from Trails wheeeee

@SchlafendeReika @RikkaCD917 Pretty much every Trails game has some hypnosis at one point or another

@RikkaCD917 The reason I began my Trails journey Sad that Emma doesn't have hypno art Funny enough, the first game also has a huge hypnosis plot

From "The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II" Emma uses her Hypnotic Powers to hypnotize some guards and force them to let them pass.

@ShadowbanSlam @Pirat_Nation Buddy, if you think this game is woke you're a goddamn tourist to the series. This game was originally made in mind in having Estelle being a reverse of usual gender norms, and this being less dickish is just to make actual dicks like anti immigrants in other games feel worse

@Pirat_Nation How do JP fans feel about this? Are they sick of the wokery, too?

@khoidaooo @NavaRamenGuy Srry, I meant disadvatage.

@khoidaooo @NavaRamenGuy Wouldn't this cause an unfair advantage towards NU workers? While a VA should be able to join a union for their work safety, shouldn't it be the case that being a NU comes with no drawbacks both in terms of employability? Like, for example, being a foreign VA?

@ShiftedPyro Shows up Ask for a fight Be Vergil Be a goober Wins every fan's attention How does she do it

yeah i think i like you too #PyroNoKiseki

@ShiftedPyro Daybreak is just..so peak

chapter 4 has been so peak man

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK #PyroNoKiseki

@SK36epic That was actually me lul. Beaten daybreak about 3 hours after the trailer dropped I checked YT and was pleasantly surprised

The timing would have been funnier for me if I beat daybreak last night but shout out

@ShiftedPyro They made Zin a goofy laid back uncle and it's the best thing they could've done for Zin lmao Like he was kinda laid back in Sky but having him be the chillest dude in the Calvardian bracer gang while everyone is out for Van's blood is always funny

aint no way bro immediately plays the blame game 😭😭 #PyroNoKiseki

@Ahleckss R- R- RA RA RASPUTIN RUSSIA'S GREATEST LOVE MACHINE

Lets hear your guesses on what part 3 will be called, Tell me why you think that as well! Now I may be totally off but my guess is; 1. Rewind 2.Resume 3.Reality 4. Redemption I just noticed there's a lot to do with time, time stopping. 7 seconds before the world ends, but also a lot to do with reality. I'm probably so off but its fun to guess ❤️ #ff7 #FinalFantasyVII #ff7rebirth #Cloud #Aerith #Sephiroth #Zackfair

@ShiftedPyro Getting jumpscared ny motherfukin Kazuma Kiryu (Takuya Kuroda) in a Falcom was not in my bingo cards when I played thru this part Needed to do a double take but it was funny

i fuck with both of these designs #PyroNoKiseki

@Yat_Media Aw, I guess that's a bit better than nothing

@Yat_Media Might extend to kuro 2 as well since I've only played up to daybreak and can't read JP Is Kasim handled better in Kai and Kuro 2?

@ShiftedPyro Very valid, I'd do everything for her as well

Marielle is a bit pushy but she's cute so allow it #PyroNoKiseki

Fuck, typo

I don't do live tweets because I like playing games and getting fully emgrossed in it But (Trails Through Daybreak / Kuro No Kiseki midgame spoilers) Holy shit wtf why am I crying this is the first game Kondo wtf you cooking huhhhhhh? (Ppl who played will know what I mean)

@TwilightSomnus We went from Kevin being one of the goofier characters to one of the most emo characters. Falcom cooked

Sky 3rd is so emo this game was made for me

@GoetiaRight @TwilightSomnus Heck, I'd even put Azure's final boss theme as kne of my fav final boss themes...ever

@TwilightSomnus Many people have Azure's final boss OST as their favorite in the entire series, so you can look forward to that at least

I hope Sky 3rd’s finale or some future Kiseki game can make me feel everything that I felt when I finished SC. It’s been a month now and I don’t think I’ve gone a day yet without listening to Merciless Saviour. Just the grandeur of it all… I’ll never forget it. #ErickNoKiseki

@Marionete04 Trails through Daybreak Halfway thru that one rn and I am *hooked*

So What's everyone gonna be playing for tomorrow?
