since the game also allows you to temporarily decrease your level in exchange for better drop rates, there’s a lot of decision making to balance risk/reward that makes encounters way more engaging (while giving better players an opportunity to skip the grind if they choose)

the world ends with you is pretty clever about it

there’s a ‘scan’ mechanic that shows icons for each enemy group nearby, and you can pick as many as you want to fight in a row, the rewards multiplying depending on the length of the chain

they could charge hundreds for it and it’d still be cheaper than buying the anime 🙄 can’t even stream it anywhere in the uk either

it’s waaaay longer than it needs to be and i’ve noticed several mistakes since publishing it, but i’m still proud of it honestly. i wrote two more articles after (on the mastercard scandal and TWEWY) but they don’t come close to the depth and word count of this one

i think there’s a demo now. i’ve been meaning to try it

i post pretty infrequently and at inconsistent times, so you might’ve just happened to miss them. i still get interactions so i doubt i’m shadowbanned or anything

i see you already followed me, but here’s the list i mentioned! backloggd.com/u/h0pearcana...

i’ve played so many top ten candidates in the past year that deciding which ones make the list has become very difficult ):

my curated favourites list on backloggd is at 25 entries now

if i wanted that i'd just ask my bluesky or twitter followers. they'd feed me misinformation with soul

even WeRateDogs tweets aren’t safe

to be completely honest for you it has never been for the better. not even once.

anyway shoutout to google ai overview for suggesting gran turismo here, because it mistook being ranked #31 in the best games of all time for having a review score of 31%

i’m british and have no idea what/when labor day is, but it doesn’t matter because atlus merch never reaches us anyway ):

sorry, i wrote another one (:

this one’s less about rule of rose itself and more about providing a frame of reference for the recent payment processing censorship - it’s also less than a third of the length of my last article for those who were put off by it

Yoooooooo TC fanart on my strawpage 🤯

twitter probably already handled data differently for eu residents (for gdpr compliance) so it must’ve just been easier to apply the restrictions to all those people for now

i think there’s pretty heavy fines for companies that don’t comply, and most of them probably weren’t ready to roll out uk-specific restrictions so the rest of europe got caught in the crossfire
