#ac plays genshin impact

[ac-liveblogs]

"Fountanians are actually oceanids" is the new "Katheryne is a snezhnayan bionic puppet" except even worse, because at least she wasn't turned into a real girl by the end of Sumeru (so maybe this will be "addressed" some day lol). Personally, im more willing to forgive thematic inconsistencies and messes than this kinds of things, because they tend to take me out of the story instantly. It's not even "the devs didn't think this throughout", it's straight up "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?????". The non-reactions of characters to these revelations swiftly remind me that they are actually just puppets to The Plot and not, like, thinking and feeling beings. Which is terrible for a work of fiction. How people manage to get emotionally attached to the world that feels THIS artificial is beyond me. 💀

(I still want to see how it all ends, though. The trainwreck must go on haha)

True, but Kathryne DID have to deal with Nahida "oh she's just a puppet!"ing at her and possessing her body because she wasn't a real human... in the same country where we're supposed to be convinced Scaramouche really does have a heart or whatever. Hm.

You know, when people praise Genshin's insane "deep lore" and world-building, you really do have to raise an eyebrow bc like. Okay. Everyone's an Oceanid bc [x] and [y] happened because of it but like. Does it matter. Does any of that matter. I don't think any of it does matter. Egeria's sin could have been stepping on the Heavenly Principle's foot for all that mattered.

The non-reactions of characters to these revelations swiftly remind me that they are actually just puppets to The Plot and not, like, thinking and feeling beings.

YEAH, I've never played a game where I felt like the characters didn't matter more than this one? It makes it so hard to care about anything. It's like... okay, Fontaine is seeding lore about Sandrone. But after the way Fontaine handled Childe and Arlecchino, why should I give a shit about Sandrone? Sure we can fill in her wikipedia page, but do they really expect me to think her writing will be GOOD??? Why are people excited? Just for the sake of Learning Things?

I don't get it and I can't relate. I'm always mildly surprised when Genshin manages to accomplish the bare minimum. Like "oh, that set-up actually paid off!", you know?

I'm also deathly curious to see how this all ends but =_=; man it's frustrating

more fontaine sketches and stuff :3

[r-aindr0p]

did you see that rollo ranked 50th in the yumejoshi poll on twitter... he beat malleus and leona... i'm so happy for him honestly

Omg I went to check right away I’m so happy he got this much recognition aabhdfhb Idia made it as well this is great

And I was surpised to see so many twst characters in the top 100 ??! Honestly proud of them all ✨

Also congrats to some other characters I like and recognized from other shows like Gintoki, im impressed he’s still loved so much but its also very understandable. So happy for Trafalgar Law, this guy has been a brainrot of mine for a few years in a row during my middle school years and I still like him a lot ! Congrats to Oberon (fgo) I don’t play fate or watch but his character design is a solid 20/20 for me he is flawless, blorbo material. And finally confused congratulations to Hibari Kyouya from Katekyo Hitman Reborn, like… What is he doing here ??? The manga has ended a long time ago already I’m really surprised, but understandable as well given his personality and looks, one of my fave reborn characters so it’s cool.

[tinyienzo]

[m4ggot5]

[aceassin-of-the-moon]

Did the gimmick in fontaine archon quest feel like tears of Themis or was it just me

[avnasace]

i have been no thoughts head empty for like 14 hours now, the 4.2 archon quest was so good it filled me with enough dopamine to make me feel like a neurotypical for a whole day fjxisidkak

hoyoverse has some brass balls trying to hype up arlecchino with some animated youtube short after it gave her fuck-all to do in the actual fontaine story quest

why this company keeps trying to offload the character writing onto animation outside of the game instead of just writing a good story about them inside the damn game is beyond me

i feel like i live in another world. i would care about arlecchino if she was a relevant and important character in fontaine. i don't know what a cool video on a whole other platform that may or may not actually be relevant to the content we actually get is supposed to do for me. i don't know this character. why should i learn about her here and now. why should i care. why do people keep accepting this

So I've fallen head-over-heels for the world-exploration and aesthetics of Genshin Impact, but the game's writing seems to assume that I am just here to be horny for the waifus, so every time a new character I've JUST MET immediately and brazenly flirts with my character I'm just-

[aftermathing]

I am jealous to no end of people who have wild D&D campaigns that span multiple years. I can't even get people to play with me once. I am tearing my hair out trying to convince people that the hardest math you will do while playing this game is like adding 2+3.

[ilseofskadi]

damn this really has become an ace attorney game hasn't it

[space-heat3r]

Ah yes my favorite genshin character, Phoenix Wright.
