Happy 20th anniversary to Decoration Disorder Disconnection I’m glad to say the fan VN for Volume 1 has been completed pjf238.itch.io/ddd1

@FOOL_FABRYR I’m sure there is a decent amount of stuff that plays on it like that, there certainly was at times with Monokuma in DR, but I feel like regardless it’d get on my nerves way too fast in a game with a long prologue and 100 routes

@esotericfate1 I get it but at least in this route it feels pretty intentional

this route is amazing

@fromavalon45656 @TheTeevil5 @LancerDraws @NOTTHISWAYQQ negativity is the sole reason he gave for why he didn’t consider it canon to the Nasuverse

@fromavalon45656 @TheTeevil5 @LancerDraws @NOTTHISWAYQQ Fate/Zero on what makes him different from Urobuchi, is that he always finds a way to insert some measure of hope and personal meaning into them no matter how bleak things get Hell, the very fact that DDD didn’t have that and was instead an outlet for his pessimism and

FGO has a VASTLY slower pace of new content release than most mobages precisely because of the Type Moon bottleneck. FGO can go for a whole MONTH without releasing a single new character or story event, which is unthinkable for a regular mobage. TM is very slow.

@fromavalon45656 @TheTeevil5 @LancerDraws @NOTTHISWAYQQ Mass appeal is an awful way to gauge the quality of anything

@esotericfate1 @TheTeevil5 @LancerDraws @NOTTHISWAYQQ Spirits and Fate in general. Why do you think is the only truly popular IP of his? Because the rest isn't very appealing. I personally liked KnK but I think most wouldn't care about that either. Ufotable really elevated that.

@fromavalon45656 @TheTeevil5 @LancerDraws @NOTTHISWAYQQ Dismissing Mahoyo just because it was heavily inspired by Eva is absurd, especially when it was rewritten over a decade later to be more of its own thing, just like FSN was rewritten to be more than just a blatant Makai Tensho homage like it originally was

@esotericfate1 @TheTeevil5 @LancerDraws @NOTTHISWAYQQ which is a reheated of her Harry Potter fanfiction, because Mahoyo is just an AU Evangelion fanfic by Nasu, and don't try to argue this point when he was admittedly heavily inspired by Eva FOR Mahoyo. It looks stunning but I can't help by give it a sideeye. FSN is just his best

@fromavalon45656 @TheTeevil5 @LancerDraws @NOTTHISWAYQQ Just because Mahoyo and DDD are unfinished does not mean they do not have character development in the individual parts, especially with DDD when there’s one-off characters like Shinya that have well written complete stories

@esotericfate1 @TheTeevil5 @LancerDraws @NOTTHISWAYQQ I consider everything in Extra absolutely mediocre at best. DDD is unfinished. What character arcs even happened there? Plus it's all over the place. Mahoyo is on the same boat. It has potential, but it kind of feels like Nasu's City of Bones of whatever is that Cassandra book

@FOOL_FABRYR Oh yeah that’s definitely red lmao

Idk if I'm just actually going blind or what but I tried to make my character's hair black in Xenoblade Chronicles X but I think it's actually red for some reason idk what's happening anymore

@fromavalon45656 @TheTeevil5 @LancerDraws @NOTTHISWAYQQ Since FSN?? You’re really telling me you don’t like his character writing in DDD, CCC, Mahoyo, etc? Hell, I’d honestly say holding FSN specifically as the pinnacle of his character development is an odd choice considering 2/3 of its routes have some noticable flaws in that area

@TheTeevil5 @LancerDraws @NOTTHISWAYQQ I do, but I don't really care much about it? It's just mediocre Young Adult/chuuni shit with some good characters and concepts. Nasu can't world build for shit, he's thematically inconsient, and his character developent fell off since FSN.

@CorkinMyCork @g0bl1nw4rl0ck @Kostukat @NINtendo_maya Vanilla Strange Journey

@g0bl1nw4rl0ck @Kostukat @NINtendo_maya Any recommendations?

Persona fans became as awful as they are because their natural predators, the "play a real shin megami tensei" guys, were driven to extinction

@EbullientSMP (This isn’t a spoiler btw, the WoM events just aren’t super overtly addressed going forward because of the nature of the 2009 specials not trying to set up too much outside of themselves)

@EbullientSMP One of 10’s best A bit sad it’s somewhat isolated character wise from what comes after because of the weird production structure of 2009, but that’s not really its own fault and it’s still very easy to appreciate on its own

Waters of Mars Insane fucking episode.

@Executor250624 Fahren I just replayed SH1 and decided to finally give 4 another go to see if I like it more a second time around but I’m sorry I deadass do not get what you see in this game 😭 I’m honestly feeling even more critical cause I genuinely prefer even 1’s combat and area design

Getting back into the groove of things slowly

@HellExorcist @slowdetonate @Genki_JPN Plus Replicant and 1.22 are the only versions that connect to Red and Black, arguably the best short story to come out of the franchise

@slowdetonate @Genki_JPN It's the very same game, the difference is im the main characters' appearance and his relation to Yonah. In Replicant you're the girl's old brother In Gestalt you're the girl's father I recommend you play the remake (called 1.22...). It's has a new (and canon) ending.

The NieR series began 16 years ago today on April 22, 2010 with the release of NieR Replicant on PS3 and NieR Gestalt on the Xbox 360 in Japan! #NieR

@Ceyarmada @SideOfTheRiver_ I mean I didn’t think the prose was handled particularly poorly with Mahoyo, it still very much felt like Nasu’s prose to me A lot of the complaints I saw were more due to all the typos at launch making it feel very sloppy, something I can confirm because I own it physically

@SideOfTheRiver_ yeah the last time I felt like this was Mahoyo which is apparently notorious for its kinda mid one

NOW STARTING: Dies Irae

@sumollama1 I like SS’s design, but I feel like it’s kind of carried by the game’s aesthetics, it’s the type of design that I don’t love as much when it’s not surrounded by that vibrant watercolor vibe Whereas I think TP’s design works well in any aesthetic

I feel like im one of the only few people who prefers skyward sword link MUCH MORE than twlight princess. I just think they captured his heroic, whimsical and adventurous vibe here

@FOOL_FABRYR I can’t exactly judge the original book since I have less than zero interest in reading Weir’s work even more directly, but judging by the fact that I’ve not heard a single complaint about it as an adaptation, I’m assuming it’s faithful

@esotericfate1 I forgot this thing was based on a book which honestly makes it even wilder that it doesn't touch on much

Just watched Project Hail Mary, the highlight of the movie was the old cinephile couple beside me that I kid you not pulled out Letterboxd after the movie ended

@FOOL_FABRYR Weir being able to write character arcs with more depth than wet toilet paper

@FOOL_FABRYR could’ve been a really good driver for interesting character drama Imagine if Grace actually expressed anger, resentment, and frustration about unconsentually being trapped in space with a dead crew and had to overcome that to accept the situation But nope, that would require
