granted you could just skip episode 2 (in fact you probably should) but i kind of like to experience the entirety of things instead of just like, the good parts, so i'll endure.

always been a big fan of the big ears in her portrait as well, always thought that was very cute. p sure it's just an artstyle thing but nevertheless.

always seen her as very awkward and. i guess unkempt would be the word? she's got some vague health issues and doesn't expect to live long so i've always imagined her somewhat sickly as well, still pretty but sort of "wilting" in a way. a bit beaten up, but still very endearing

yeah this is definitely a thing, i mainly made the post bc of some more recent posts i've seen (mainly on twitter) arguing back and forth abt it. feels like people either decide on her being flawlessly beautiful or ghoulishly abnormal, though the latter is way more common obv

plays into why i really cannot see her as a threat too bc i know the second that girl gets any positive affirmation she's folding like a lawn chair. all it would take is marina saying she likes her hair and she'd be crying.

i do think this sort of transforms her self-image issues a bit, makes them a bit more "in her head" than they would be otherwise. just another instance of an issue that could have been avoided if she had a loving family instead of the shitty church.

anyway can't wait for the DLC that looks like it'll just be This, But More, i'm glad we got two ugly raichu megas to go along with it

especially when infinite royale NPCs are level capped at ~lv60 so you're just OHKOing everything without even thinking. this is the physical embodiment of chores

it's literally all battles and the battle system is fucking boring, why would anyone want to grind out 1000 battles, i barely want to do the ~10 needed for a challenger's ticket

peaked in kotm and it's been downhill since

kind of boring and takes too long, but the way i've seen people talk about her you'd think she was the antichrist or something. hoffman was way worse imo

no offense to said mods but playing a flanderized version of samarie that's written like a serial killer only stays novel for so long

it's bleak, but it's very compelling, i can't believe i put off reading this for so long because it really is amazingly written

every time you think it can't possibly get any worse it does, every time you think things might finally be looking up they crash back down, you really can't trust that you'll be allowed to have anything

it's a lot of building you up to knock you back down, which is fitting since that's also what denji experiences, you feel the exhaustion that brings alongside him, it feels very intentional and manages to avoid making you jaded with the whole thing very well
