life is too short I wanna replay SO many video games

#can you believe ntwewy is two years old?? i wanna replay it #hell we're coming up on the game's announcement trailer's third anniversary. i remember that day vividly #meanwhile i recently replayed pokemon oras and enjoyed it. been a long time since i enjoyed a pokemon game #i wanna go back and finish my now about five year old file on heartgold. idk why i stopped on the eighth gym #so maybe I'll do that next #i also wanna play xenoblade 3 before much longer but first i wanna replay the first game #sometimes i work on the last achievement i have yet to achieve in rdr2 and that always makes me wanna replay it #i beat it once and got to 100% completion and restarted it twice since then but kept stopping when i got to the latter half lol #anyway i gotta finish totk at some point. got distracted bc genshin updated and then my friend started playing it #so we're playing together all the time lately whenever I'm not at work or drawing or reading #OH MAN and I've been listening to kh osts lately. and i keep thinking. what if i replayed literally any of those games lol #augh I'm just over here chewing on video games like a beaver at 5x speed

WHAT IS THAT

unidentified fucking THING alert!!!!

#the pure terror i felt when it popped out of the ground and i barely got out of the way in time #in case you're wondering how it got up there i got wedged in a corner and the only way out was up and it chased me up there then got stuck #morgan plays totk

Was NOT expecting that my horses in BotW would carry over to TotK and I gasped SO loud at finding them at the stable.

#maisy.... i got SO attached to those pixels lol #i remember when i was finishing up botw #when i was headed to hyrule castle for the last time i stopped a safe distance away #i found a peaceful spot in the trees and dismounted and spent a little while standing by maisy and watching the world go by #then i said goodbye and went on alone and it was so emotional for me #i damn near cried when i got to the final fight with ganon and lo and behold! maisy is here to help!!#i think bc you spend almost that entire game alone in the wild with only your horse for company #it's easy for me to feel like the horse is a character itself #anyway all this to say I'm so emotional to find that my journey with maisy is not over!#I'll probably get a new horse to give her a break (mainly so I'm not playing exactly the same as last time)#but I'm happy she's here #morgan plays totk

Absolutely delighted every time I find new objects to stick together. One of the first things I did upon returning to the ground was pull a fan out of my pocket, stick it to some wheels, and ride my little car all over the hills.

#cruised past an npc who was saying ''i made my own weapon! :)''#and out loud i said ''who gives a shit. I made my own CAR''#practical? no #but does it make me go ''hehehehehe :)'' as i scoot along? hell yeah #morgan plays totk

Started the new Zelda game last week and I might post some thoughts as I go. Block the tag "morgan plays totk" if you don't want to see it.

#I've been cut off from all info about this game since like... 2021 #it's kinda rare that i can play a game knowing THIS little about it so i may have thoughts to yell

Recently beat Legends Arceus (finally) and I’m obsessed with these little guys.

#or. big guys. bc the goodra i raised was an alpha pokemon lmao #the first time i sent her out after evolving her i was so taken aback by the HEIGHT of this thing #also i adore hisuian sliggoo's silly little face #ps i have NO idea how goodra fits inside its shell but i audibly gasped when mine took a little nap in there. cutest dragon #pokemon #goodra #sliggoo #goomy #legends arceus #pla #my art #i've never posted my art or pokemon on this blog but i wanted to share it somewhere haha #i do have an art blog but it's exclusively for cat drawings so it would feel weirder to put it there than here

KHX is SO funny bc the player meets Ephemer once, they break into private property together, promise to do it again, and then he stands them up the next day. And when they finally do see each other again the player breaks down sobbing. Meanwhile the player meets Skuld, they also break into private property together, continue hanging out and being friends for months, and when they reunite on the battlefield player's just like "oh nice it's Skuld! this is amazing — AAAAA IT'S EPHEMER MY LITERAL DREAM BOY EPHEMER AAA"

#i was rewatching all of x/ux with my sibling this weekend to get them caught up #going through this again i very much get the vibe that ephemer is like the lovable popular kid at school #skuld knows. skuld trying to convince player to join the dandelions: ''yknow ephemer will be there? :D eh? eh?''#anyway i love everyone in this little game #kh #khux #edit: skdhdk when i made this post i didn't think anyone would see it so uhh lemme explain #just wanna say this is not a criticism of ux on the contrary i find it so so sweet and cute and i love them very much #it is also just so funny bc it comes across to me as player having the BIGGEST crush imaginable

Shibuya syndrome’s only redeeming quality was serving as a pretext for Operation Awakening.

It really was like one of neo’s most grating plot elements, ‘oh no this noise is eating people’s soul!’ as if that wasn’t a thing noise have been doing since day 1 without such severe effects. Noise+ with more devastating impact, I guess, but I found it hard to buy.

I try to give neo some credit for taking a different approach to its story instead of retracing twewy’s footsteps. But shibuya syndrome, 3-week structure, and Rindo being Joshua’s proxy (…? For uh, reasons and purposes the game is committed to never making clear) are all places where neo hews too close to the original to its own detriment.

A lot of the effectiveness of ‘to right the countless wrongs’ in twewy was finding the npc’s we’ve gotten to know fall under its influence. And while Ryoji might be one such example, and kariya/ayano/kanon all succumbed to it to some degree, these were all story events. It wasn’t a part of the world in the sense that the player could choose to run up to talk to them only to be hit with “…”.

That’s another thing, the wonderful world mantra was both more unsettling and thematically relevant than uh, nothing at all. You could try to extract some meaning of Shibuya syndrome reflecting Rindo’s unwillingness to speak up. But compared to the crystal clear role to right the countless wrongs plays in twewy’s message it feels incredibly lacking.

In terms of lore and world building, it’s also a nuisance. There isn’t really a thorough explanation of how operation awakening even solved shibuya syndrome. Sync up with them and send a reminder, sure, got it. But what happened to all the noise? The cinematic with people’s soul’s leaving their bodies is also incredibly hard to parse. Oh other weirdness, on day 4 with the ‘zombies’, why are the wicked twisters even viewing people in the rg a threat? I guess the noise in them could come leaping out at them but it’s still weird and disorienting. I’d hoped the secret reports would’ve offered more clarity to all this, but in the words of coco, lol nope jk.

#big agree on all of this #certain elements of the story really felt like they were introduced just to be references to point at #either that or i wonder if they just didnt have a clear idea of what to do next without retreading old plot threads #all of the weirdness happening in og twewy was happening for a certain reason and it was well written in #a lot of what happens in ntwewy just... kinda happens?#i completely adore this game but there are things to be said about its storytelling's... ineffectiveness at times #ntwewy

Pouring one out for those who based their expectations for neo off of twewy (A standalone game and story built around the ds and certain message), and not A New Day (A different writer like a decade later tries to pull a series out of it).

Seriously the biggest problem with neo’s story (though not its only) is that it’s a sequel to twewy and it’s sad to see people rag on neo for what it’s not instead of appreciating what it is

#my hopes for the game were ''if it's not terrible I'll be happy'' bc i have such looow expectations for sequels #and i enjoyed ntwewy SO much #i honestly can't say which game i prefer bc they're so different #twewy has much more concise storytelling and a smaller cast that's introduced well #but damn ntwewy is so FUN and has great moments and i love it too #i just honestly hope there's not gonna be a third game. i do not trust anyone to make a series out of a stand-alone game #it happened before. game 1 was amazing. game 2 was really really good. game 3 was a trashfire and retroactively made the other two worse #and i do not wanna see that happen to twewy #but what we have right now... I'm satisfied #anyway op's tags are a really good read

I wonder if there's a difference between... having the ability to sense what's in someone's heart, and being susceptible to sensing it whether one wants to or not. Or if the ability to sense these things is something that some people are born with and others have to work towards? I could certainly see Even being able to notice that stuff due to his studies of the heart if that's the case. We've got a few examples of people just knowing when a character is tainted by darkness, while Baldr — as far as I can tell from his dialogue — was not just sensing darkness in others' hearts, but absorbing it by being around them.

KHDR definitely gave us SO much to think about 🤔

While we’re talking about kingdom hearts characters who can sense what’s in people’s hearts, I want to draw attention to this from BBS

“Stripped clean of it, at that… Very questionable.”

Not entirely sure what it’s trying to imply since it never happens again and I think it would kill me if Even of all characters could sense what’s in people’s hearts but I do want to draw attention to it

#kh #uhhhh #khdr spoilers

Something new I've learned from watching KH streams: People don't know how to just accept new information into their hearts.

Because it's fictional media, accepting new info there is kinda different from accepting new info irl. Everyone I've seen will read the Ansem Reports in KH1 and start going "Huh??? What??? What is going on? What is he talking about???" And it's not that asking questions is a bad thing, it's definitely a good thing. But why is there such an aversion to just saying "Oh, okay. So that's a thing now." and adding it to your mental folder?

Like the best example I have is me going into 3D cuz that was the first game I got to fully experience as new and right when it came out. And basically when Sora started getting the infodump with time travel and stuff I was just like "Oh so he time travelled and the old version of him spoke to the young version of him. Okay then." Like, why is that apparently so hard for other people to do? And seriously, I don't mean anything bad by this, it just confuses me is all. I guess cuz my brain is built different? I dunno.

It just seems like once people get to the end of KH1 and read the reports and stuff they're all "Huh???? Okay I get why you guys say Kingdom Hearts is confusing now." And that's just. The least confusing it's ever been? Cuz it's the first game. The reports explain so much you just. Have to accept new information. I don't get it.

#HONESTLY i feel this so much #i feel like the problem is that... kh has gained this reputation for being ''too complicated'' and ''not making sense''#just because it's a story that has carried on one plot for now almost 20 years without rebooting #whereas most other video games out there don't really do that. most other series you can pick up and play any game first #kh is a series that feels best when you start at the beginning and slowly over the years experience each new title #because it gives you time to digest all the new information you're given and discuss things you didn't quite understand with other fans #and i love kh very much for that. i looove just... thinking about stories and working things out in my brain as i play #this style doesn't really suit everyone and what's REALLY frustrating #is how they blame the series for being ''confusing'' and ''badly written'' instead of just admitting it doesn't cater to them specifically #like op says it's really not hard to just accept new information and keep going #but anyway I think I'm starting to drift from the point. those are just my two cents #OH YEAH my point that i was getting to was #kh has gained such a reputation now that i think a lot of people just shrug and go ''well i guess this series is just confusing''#instead of really looking at the info given them and deciding for themselves what the series is like #kh

Neo twewy didn’t have enough guns in it. Kids got sent to the ug via complicated pin shit Kubo should’ve just shot Rindo in the back of the head like they did back in the day. Higher beings of tristate areas are just too soft these days :/
