Such is the present state of our nation." screenshot from the anime OVA Legend of the Galactic Heroes, showing the character Yang Wenli with an angry expression.

Worldbuilding concept sketch:
“Magic” is the manipulation of the leyline structures that underlie reality. Magical operations are based in symmetry, requiring at minimum two people. In reality, any meaningfully powerful magical is being performed by the equivalent of a troupe of trained dancers.

made this stupid meme to explain to one of my siblings what I thought of this game (I loved it and can't stop thinking about it)
"What I played, what I expected, what I got" meme format. In "What I played" is the cover of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. In "What I expected" is the word "French" over the cover of Final Fantasy X. In "What I got" is the covers of the first two Lord of the Rings films, with the cover of the third replaced by August: Osage County
