Now that I've written as essay about Front Mission 3, I can say that I've played through all the recent remakes of Front Mission 1, 2, & 3.
I could probably talk about all them for hours, which is very funny to me. (I could make a long argument about why FM2 is the best in terms of narrative)

The political agency of Front Mission 3
While the cast regularly embeds itself with rebels and allies, serious political analysis and critique is often by third parties.

Now, listen. We all know the job market is bad & applying for jobs & the process now really sucks.
But getting an official job rejection email *9 months later* really takes the cake.

There’s a moment in this where @ramiismail.com talks about people distancing themselves or being told to do so because of his advocacy. Most never talk about but, man, it’s so real. The last couple years have been professionally and personally isolating in brutal ways. It’s been really eye-opening.
