I still think SMT demon recruitment is the smartest dumb implementation of a morality system in the world. Demon responses are 100% random, it is physically impossible to play a people pleaser because you have no idea what a demon wants. So the only thing that matters is your personal consistency.

On this subject:
It will never cease to amaze me that the most novel and interesting core pillar of the Zelda series is how it's basically one group blatantly retelling the same story over and over again forever, and the fans completely ignoring this in favour of graph sheets and wiki articles.
Every time a Zelda game comes out, there is an unavoidable conversation that pops up about its timeline.

Not only do I find these debates boring, I think they ultimately pull us away from what this series excels at.

Embrace the "Legend" of Zelda. It's better that way.

KingK — The Zelda Timeline Doesn't Matter
For all of my years playing Zelda games, there is one thing that has never mattered to me; yet, it has dominated online discussion of the series to a degree that I continue to find baffling.

I really hate that gacha is so popular

you could be playing games designed primarily to be enjoyed instead, like just pay once and bam you've got a whole ass game that you're meant to just, play it for fun

why are you playing the game that is explicitly designed to make you dissatisfied

I still think a lot about the fact that Gamergate did essentially win. Not that it made the culture significantly more misogynistic or anything, but it succeeded in making a lot of the people who played games eventually casually much more anti-intellectual and incurious.

My biggest hater take is probably that I find Fortnite to be absolutely dystopian. It's giving me feelings of dread and despair to see all these intellectual properties™ come together in a franchise slurry.

'Hakaiou: King of Crusher' released on this day in 1998.

A salaryman evolves into a monster, and rampages through increasingly larger environments / against tougher opposition. Marketed as a "stress relief game," in spite of egregious difficulty spikes and control issues.

Create NSFW art

Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime

Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art

This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like

Always resist oppression
