This is truly stiff competition for the worst case of willful false equivalence we've ever seen.

So, for those not aware: Ongoing embarrassment to gamers and the gaming industry, Mark Kern (former lead on FireFall), has been desperately trying to get Gamergate 2 going on X/Twitter... well after others have given up. If you need to get caught up on Mark, I recommend this video by documentary maker and experienced game developer, Dead Domain:

One of the latest fiascos in this mix has been the comparison of responses to character designs from Hades 2 (Aphrodite, left) and Stellar Blade (protagonist Eve, right). The post isn't by Mark, but is part of the general harassment campaign he's trying to lead.

If you're somehow not familiar with Aphrodite, she's the Ancient Greek goddess of love, lust and hot girl shit. It is absolutely perfect characterization for her to show up to a battle (or anything else) nude but for her hair teasingly covering the intimate parts of her body. But the buried lede here is, you don't fight her in Hades and nothing about Hades 2 indicates she'll fight there either, she just likes the aesthetic and has no reason not to indulge.

Stellar Blade will release on 26 April 2024, so we can't really give an informed discussion of her character. But what we do know is the studio head is the illustrator from Blade & Soul, Eve is described as being a member of "the 7th Airborne Squad" engaged in an "operation to reclaim the planet from the Naytiba", and the promotion material promises "an enthralling narrative filled with mature themes, mystery and revelation. Embrace the relentless pace, with no time to pause between moments where critical, story-changing decisions are made."

It's to be compared to games like Nier: Automata, Devil May Cry 5, Jedi: Fallen Order and Sekiro. And the screenshots look like this:

And yeah, unlike Bayonetta she's not supposed to be an unstoppable force of nature (and fashion) who is immune to self-doubt, she's supposed to be the scrappy underdog last survivor of her team.

Weird they gave her a costume that conveys... the opposite of literally everything they're supposed to be trying to tell you about her.

I’ve been reworking my little alien girl oc and her home planet. She was originally created in a vacuum but is now a proud member of the lumata verse.

Nier Automata Tattoo design

So not often to post my design work here but very proud of this and may end up being my first tattoo!

Let me know what you think ^w^

More ref sheets, the citizens of Radiant Garden, of course not all! Like Ienzo is missing oops (Note these are very up to date with Part II Act II, which ended in January so we're in the Part III wait era)

Brooke is Vi's and Davis' mother and Taro is brought there by y. Xehanort.

+ Nort alts (Xemnas and Xeh ditching the Org. coats hooray! (They also become besties with A2 trust!!!!!))

Quick answers/ explainsies! (WK novel spoilers obvs!!!)

Since Sora is a Replica copy here, he actively befriends the Organization Somebodies.

The Evernight Faction is Maleficent's troup, miss ma'am Salem invited her in! Their ship name is witchcottage!! Tyrian is free to third-wheel!!! Lauriam got a strange illness (see his arm, spoiler spoiler Xemnas and Azal have it too) and Elrena, Emil and Luxord switch sides to get him help. Demyx counts himself in because he wants to.

Brooke had to join because Maleficent sniped Vi baaad (if you seen Vi's ref sheet, yeah the shoulder was Mal with that white glove thingy that has this tick Grimm) Xemnas lost his arm seconds after that and that's why they also switch. The Norts are Replicas but Xems can't get into a new one.

Xeh scooped Taro up in San Fransokyo when he was going places with Luxord. He had to drop pupper off at Vi's because Ansem said so. Taro is also the groundwork for Xeh starting to trust Viola.

Braig is with them because Luxu still needs No Name, remember OMX is alive so...

Tabula Rasa Inversa: Structural Sovereignty through Metaphysical Code

A Theoretical Physics-Based Framework for Code-Embedded Sovereignty and Ethical Cybernetics Abstract This paper introduces a formal theoretical model rooted in physics, cybernetics, and sovereignty ethics to describe how stolen or co-opted intellectual portfolios inherently encode structural feedback loops that bind dependent systems to the original author. Using principles of graph theory,…

To those wanting more (indie) series with good mlm centric romance: hey. (Hands you this blonde guy and his alien boyfriend) do you like scifi and found family and horrific mecha narratives. I’m making a thing
