#too many geos

[dryas-glacialis]

anything ending in -logy is a branch of learning or the study of a particular subject, like how geology is the scientific study of basically anything to with the earth, geo.

a -nomy is essentially a system of rules or a body of knowledge concerning whatever the suffix is attached to, like how geonomy refers to the physical laws and properties of the earth.

a rarer case is -nymy, which appears at the end of words to mean the study or formation of words and names, such as in geonymy, the set of place names or the set or rules used in their formation.

the suffix -graphy means a field of study, something that describes, with geography relating to the physical features of the earth. in words such as autobiography it refers to something written or recorded.

-metry at the end of a word implies measurements, such as in geometry, which is a branch of mathematics concerned with shapes, sizes, and dimensions.

a -sophy is a system of thought, with 'sophia' meaning wisdom. geosophy, which i was surprised to find is an actual word, is "the study of geographical knowledge from any or all points of view" or "the study of the world as people conceive of and imagine it".

It's such a basic thing, but I still find a lot of fun in the Operate Shooting Star side-scenario. If it means I could draw Geo looking ~Mysterious Cool~ with his visor some more, then what more can I say? All while messing up his shoulder pads every single time.

i have this headcanon that cinder asks Jordana to make tiny portals to nether space so he can send Kai anonymous love letters

i may have been bad at geography in school but at least I wasn't so bad that I said I would go on a world tour and then completely ignored asia/africa/south america and only went to europe/north america/australia

omg, we got home early, took a shower, had dinner, and it's still light outside. Let's see if I can get some writing done~

Everyone: These new Fontaine characters... Me: I have everything I need for Zhongli, phase 2, come to me and let me bring him home.

It is almost funny how much I overlook chests, particularly in the cities until I unlock the treasure compass and can track them

Megaman Production Art Scan of the Day #778:

Shingo Adachi's Story of Meteor Artbook: Page 43

I'm glad there is only really 1 more storyboard page and that I'm doing these pages while I'm off work, because they are way more time intensive than you'd realize. ^^;

Just got Lyney on my side acc 👍

I was gonna get Furina but I really like his gameplay so I figured why not (I also have a ton of stuff I can still do on my side so if really want to I could get enough together to get her still probably). Having a somewhat maintained side acc is nice when ur saving for Arlecchino on ur main tbh 🥹

Anyway I'm really enjoying the new region!! The diving is super fun and running along the water tracks with Yelan and Lynette to get to places was cool (I love that we got her for free she's so fun and also tism coded so I love her)

I've finished part one of the archon quest (pt.1 of chap.1) and my god Furina is so annoying I love it. The type of person to make up laws so she can get more poeple for trial. We're for sure landing in jail and it's gonna be for the most bullshit reason.

Anyway wish me luck on maintaining my sanity while I have to skip all of these 5 stars so I can get Dad on the team ;_;

[achingly-shy]

Game 5: The Last Blade Beyond the Destiny (Jan 2023)

It's around the time that I found out about The Last Blade that I understood the big problem with SNK and their console / handheld adventures. Not only is this a fairly niche fighter, but it houses way too many similarities to SNK's other fighter Samurai Shodown. At this point, it's really a matter of how unique it is compared to it's more popular counterparts rather than just simply being a good fighter.

At the least, I can say The Last Blade Beyond the Destiny is a good fighter. Not only do the movesets of each fighter feel as fleshed out as a console version, but they have nice crisp sound effects and animations to them as well. Each character feels distinct enough, and the cast of characters overall feel like they have some sort of personality shown despite the minimal amount of dialogue and animation that the Neo Geo Pocket has. Truly, presentation wise, The Last Blade on the Neo Geo Pocket is one of the better fighters on the handheld.

Plus, on top of simply being a decent fighter, the game has plenty of unlockable content, characters, and even a few minigames. The only real problem here is just how much the game demands you play it in order to unlock everything. Not only is it not mentioned anywhere that the story campaigns have a second part, but that in order to unlock them you have to beat the first campaign with each character. That's at least 8 different arcade runs, as well as the amount of points need to spend on certain scrolls you unlock to get the next campaign going, and this is all kept hidden from you. Roughly you get about 200 points per match, but with each unlockable being at least 1000 points; it makes for an obnoxious grind that even the likes of survival mode or score attack mode don't help with the redundancy.

Really the only thing that holds back The Last Blade Beyond the Destiny is it's considerable grind for what effectively should have been free unlocks to began with. With nearly every reward being locked behind points, it makes for the game to be more of a grindfest rather than an enjoyable experience. It doesn't matter how good you are, just that you do it enough. And really that's just kinda a small sting on what is otherwise a good game. Everything else is fine with it, and while I don't think any of the characters have lasting appeal compared to other SNK fighters; if they just worried more about impressions rather than time spent on the game, we probably have a whole other pillar of SNK fighters to deal with.
