okay I am taking a look at MGS Delta's new control scheme. it's kind of a shakeup. the triggers, bumpers, and D-Pad make sense. but the face button layout is actually the MGSV layout but everything is shifted in a weird bowtie pattern. here look

yeah specifically remake. what can I say, they did a bang up job portraying her as someone you could fall head over heels for. maybe literally, in Cloud's case

6. Tifa Lockhart (Final Fantasy VII)
tbh I liked the og crop top look a bit more than Remake's sports bra. the new look is quite sporty and character appropriate, I'm just not as in crush with it.
it's irrelevant either way since I fell out of crush once I played either game. she worries, I worry

you don't even see her character model most of the time. the graphic novel style cutscenes and audio logs are more than enough though

honestly I don't think I have that many fictional crushes off the top of my head so I may just start making some up. or greatly exaggerating at least

I went to Tokyo DisneySea, but access to the Fantasy Springs area was strangely limited. I get back to the hotel and turn the TV on. they're running a special where some boy group and an older guy are doing a spendathon contest at Fantasy Springs. turns out the old guy is the Judgment actor dude

Alright!! I reset my Pocket Camp save. It’s now as default as can be. The game already feels a lot cuter on tablet than it did on my phone. Add me if you wanna!

Lupin III: The First
It's that gorgeous, realistic yet stylized CGI + ideal lighting that you might find in a short animation. You watch the short and think "damn, they should do a full movie like that", but you dare not hope for something that perfect. and yet here it is. as beautiful as imagined

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
Perhaps the first ever game adaptation film to do its job (or is it Clue? never played Clue). it paints the casual, off-the-rails campaign vibe without needing to frame it explicitly. really invites the viewer to imagine a DM wrangle and negotiate w/ players

The Batman
Bruce drifts thru his Dracula home. Batman steps thru crime scenes, scorned by police and criminals alike. He listens to Nirvana and keeps a journal. The camera blurs and broods over his city patrols.
He's also a dumbass who gets his shit rocked quite often. That's the human experience.

The Cat Returns
As a kid, I'd often stumble into boring, quiet afternoons at home. I'd try all sorts of movies, usually the latest haul from Blockbuster. At the time, this movie was just kinda nice and fun, but its breezy whimsy grew on me over the years. I think about the credits song still.

Inception
this one best epitomizes the weird sci-fi epic that Nolan keeps chasing. the dream world's mechanics help to canonize many of his hallmarks. for example, Dunkirk uses disproportionate time scales just to help with pacing. when Inception does it, that's almost literally how things are

they introduced a new kid as Spidey and made him iconic. they made Peter a funny has-been without veering into parody. they made Spider-Gwen a household name while they were at it. any one of these ambitions could have flopped on arrival yet they make it look easy
