THAT SHOW. The film adaptation of Dragon Hunters forever changed the trajectory of my creative life as a pathetic little 8-year-old shrimp, and now I keep its immortal DVD in my mid-2000s car's backseat media player in case friends need the best roadtrip entertainment of their lives

DRAGALGE!! Seaweed BEAST!! Very closely followed by Krookodile, Feraligatr, and the ever mighty Lurantis

I felt so culture-shocked when I started playing Rise that I doubled back and tried MH1 and Dos instead cuz modern MH suddenly seemed beyond my ecological niche. I couldn't evolve fast enough. Dos is now one of my favorite games ever it is legendarily maddening and full of love and mystique

Gonna try out Wilds a bit thru family share with my sibling, but until all its dust settles I am content to keep chipping away at MHDos as I have for over a year now. It's all I could ever want out of monhun and it's TRAPPED and regionlocked on the PS2!! Which adds to its mystique. Dos forever...

I get it, I do, but I dunno, I think it's too easy to make fae cultural erosion a generational thing. Crowns of toadstools aren't cultured in low-mana woodlands anymore, and the mossy cave shortage has seriously diminished their quality of lifedrain
