Of the Final Fantasy VII core party I think Vincent is the only one who would have the conviction and nerves to actually 'shoot to kill' Cloud if he was Sephiroth-influenced into being a legitimate threat to the party. Everyone else would be trying not to hurt him too much
And I feel like Cloud would know this and actively tell Vincent that he's counting on Vincent to put him down if it came to that :(

As much as I'm enjoying them I do think there's plenty of valid complaints to be made about the FF7 Remake games (as there were other valid issues with the original game)
But the funniest complaint I've seen has got to be that they ruined the soundtrack. Are you mad that they updated from .midi files to orchestral recordings?

I hope the cgi/vfx artists join the strike. Hell I hope the rest of the tech and support teams like sound engineers and prop and costume makers get involved and get better deals. Grind every part of the industry to a holt until those fuckers pay up

"I've never fired a gun before" says the guy with a machine gun/rocket launcher combo weapon that also has compartments to store several smaller guns

Funniest lie he could have told

Remember how Zagreus Hadesgame was presented as wanting to leave the underworld because he wanted to join the gods on Mount Olympus, and then it turned out that all he really wanted was to see his mother?
Really curious if Melino毛 Hadesgame's goal of "death to Chronos" also has a subversion or at least is not quite what it appears to be on the surface

I don't know how to describe The Silt Verses other than it's one of the most horrific pieces of fiction I have experienced, as told through some of the most gorgeously lyrical prose and line delivery I have ever heard

Thinking about how when Sunrise was making Code Geass, they got CLAMP (who made Cardcaptor Sakura amongst other things) to do the character design
Except CLAMP was originally formed as a BL/yaoi doujin art group before they started making original work, so they also made some REALLY homoerotic official art of Lelouch and Suzaku. Like, you can find these in the artbooks or even on screen during episode credits

I just think it's hilarious how CLAMP had to witness whatever the hell was going on between these two, pick up on it enough to make official art of it, and then watch as the show included numerous women in love with Lelouch

What the FUCK this was SO fucked up.
Hey Vash you've heard that your enemies have located your home and you're terrified that they've been hurt so you go and check on them, gun drawn as the door opens, expecting to see the worst.
Tumblr media
But look! They're all ok! Thank god! They welcome you with joy and love and open arms! You're so relieved! You're so so happy to see they're fine!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then it all goes wrong! They're all fake facsimiles of the people you love! Puppets so identical to the people you love that I can only assume they were carved from their corpses. They were dead before you ever opened the door!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You go from blissful joy and relief to absolute crushing anguish all because of some SICK FUCK purposefully decided to mess with you!
What the FUCK this is awful I'm going to go scream into a pillow to process before I read the next chapter.

Sharing my short Twitter rant for all my fellow Rune Factory fan besties on here. Sick of people acting like Stardew is the only real farming sim out there considering how clearly it's built on the farming sims that came before it.

Me pre-ep: "This week on The Magnus Protocol, you may hear a familiar voice." Huh. Ominous. Like a returning character? A voice actor who's been in other Rusty Quill works? Maybe they're just messing with me and it's just Teddy from episode 1 reappearing.
READER LET ME TELL YOU I WAS NOT PREPARED I FUCKING GASPED OUT LOUD AND MY JAW DROPPED AND I HAD TO PAUSE TO PROCESS IT

DRAGON AGE 4 GAMEPLAY LEAK??????
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Link to reddit poster + text about it
Link to the images + one gameplay gif
Gameplay seems to be moving away from the sort of top-down, semi-tactical style of previous games, and more towards action RPG. "Hack n' Slash" is used a descriptor but that's a very particular kind of gameplay genre, so I'm just going to settle on "action". Might be good. I play Dragon Age for the characters and RPG elements, so as long as I don't dislike or get frustrated with it, I'm fine with a gameplay change
This player seems to be a Grey Warden, and the gameplay sequence was set at the Grey Warden fortress of Weisshaupt. (Weisshaupt is in the Anderfels, but it's pretty close to borders with Tevinter). I would guess that playtesters would likely be given an earlier part of the game, so this might be the opening quest. (have seen some speculation that we might be able to choose our start like in Origins, but that seems baseless speculation at the moment)
This build of the game seems to be at least a few months old so it's certainly further along, but I'm definitely not expecting to see Dreadwolf this year. Also, the graphics are clearly not finished. Don't base any judgements about that from this
I think I had some other points but I'm blanking. Feel free to offer any other observations or insights.
