Seira took the picture on her filming camera, so that the image would be much higher quality. And, higher quality usually equals higher resolution, which equals greater zoom capacity!

Rui, I’m begging you to stop phrasing things like a light novel. I know this game’s in visual novel format, but please.

Again, please say what you mean. I could practically hear the quotation marks there, Rui! ;_;

Seira’s become Rui’s translator at this point. Is this a language I can study, ‘Ruism’?

Anyways.

Ok Seira wasn’t supposed to emote with her mouth open here but I took the shot at the wrong point. It’s very funny, though. 

Rui: “They could be in danger!”

Seira: *surprised pikachu face*

Last Twilight ภาพนายไม่เคยลืม Ep 3

it has been a WEEK but like the last two weeks, this one also ends on a P'Aof show, so all is well. Quick and dirty episode liveblog, you know the drill.

oh I love this montage

omg I actually laughed out loud when Mawk dinosaur roared

they look like they were having so much fun

I know we've been discussing slash smiling at the attempts to make Jimmy look rough, but just now I realised-- Mawks haircut looks cheapish, too.

what's Mawk looking at, I wonder. Going through Day's pictures? not cool, dude

they've done so much to make this house more accessible for Day in so few days!!

can they not talk about him like he's not there?

well ma'am you're the ones who broke that convo before he even had a chance to eat

oooh okay at least he wasn't checking his messages

I love Phawjai so much

okay I lied last week, I forgot to spell him Mhok and I probably will forget again

I'm with Mawk on this one, that's tooth-rotting

ooh this is a good look on him, damn. he should have his hair up like that all the time.

HERE WE ARE the "do you like [thing/person]" just hits different in languages where "do you like" does not require an object (which I just realised works in colloquial English, but ANYWAY)

wtf guys, did his family tell them THAT was the reason?!

his family may be failing him, but he has SO much support when he lets people in!!!! I'm tearing up here

oooh Jimmy has taken a level in Ohm (lessons in looking at his acting partner like he's his whole world)

the way Mawk just casually went to block folks view of Day!!!

they're FLIRTING I love this

they're totally gonna walk into a classmate of his or something

of course it's gonna be Oishii 😂

Mawk's posture here hurts me just to look at. Lift that sternum, dude!

TICKETING MACHINES!!! MTR hello hello

More flirting!

oh okay we're in ep 3 we're getting INTO it, I like this

Mawk being very bisexual and awkward right now and I'm here for it

oh, I love that Day's starting to see some … humour? light-heartedness in the situation.

the music is really taking this over the top right now, I expect a mood breaker right about now

it didn't?? I'm DELIGHTED

oh I want to go to this bookshop. doesn't look like used books but hey

found itttt :D good job Mhok

adsfasdfasdf I love this dude

oh so this is how he ends up in the street again?

oh nooooo

also Mawk? I get it, but you're on the clock goddamnit

shit, poor Day

Mawk … weren't you still on probation?

oh shoot oh shoot oh shoot

of course Day's phone is in Mawk's bag

Mawk, why aren't YOU asking people?

and Day, how is he going to find you if you keep moving?

ah phew

he put on the pink shirt!!!! easier to see!!!!

terrible colour on Jimmy, I'll give Mawk that

Mawk's gonna tell him himself, isn't he?

of course he is, that's the kind of person he is

ILU Day

Mawk falling in love a little more with every word Day speaks

god the lighting here washes Night tf OUT

oh, this is big for Day, I think. Mawk thanking him.

I will never get used to outdoor clothes on the bed, even less ones that he fell down in the street in

reading!!

adfasdf the casual intimacy of telling someone ฝันดี /fǎn diː/ (cue Tilly Birds, Just Being Friendly: เพื่อนอะไรบอกฝันดีก่อนนอน )

I wonder whether they'll get into the whole, uh, what's a responsible relationship for them to have? thing, but. right now I'm just glad they have it

Film's character!!!

A SLEEPOVER??? oh no how do I wait a week

Continuing to explore the east side of Rivington. Park-ish sort of area which looks like it was probably once nice but is now full of dead chickens.

Promising.

There's a cute-looking couple having a picnic up here though:

"Ummm, can I help you? This is a *private* picnic."

You know what, valid - privacy kind of seems like it's hard to come by around here.

Surprisingly enough for an RPG, no one around here really seems to want to tell me about their problems and have me solve them; all the refugees just want to complain, which is understandable but does not make for compelling liveblogging.

However, further up from them is an area labeled "Gur Camp." So now we're definitely going to get some plot development.8

We've encountered a Gur once before - the monster hunter that Cazador sent after Astarion, who is actually here now (the guy in the center facing the fire). It's probably a good thing Astarion isn't here, because he definitely mentioned having a grudge against Gur in general, since a group of them were the folks that beat him within an inch of his life and caused him to be vampirized originally.

However, these Gur, it seems, are NOT currently hired by Cazador, since one of them says this:

!!! Interesting.

Their other ambient dialogue talks about how a) they want to kill the vampires and b) their numbers as a people have diminished considerably.

Hector is pretty cautious going into this because he doesn't want to do anything that's going to make trouble for Astarion, but he wanders on in to say hello and see if he can pick up some information.

One of the Gur is reciting some sort of spell over their fire pit. "Rech te i hathran roost."

Gandrel, the Gur we met before, recognizes us! "My friend from the hag swamp? You are a bright light on a dark day."

It's a more friendly greeting than Hector was necessarily expecting. "Why, what happened?"

"We underestimated an enemy. Much like I underestimated you and your vampiric companion."

Hector stiffens, immediately ready to move in any direction, to attack or defend, but the monster hunter just smiles. "Oh, yes. I know you hid him from me. But this is not the moment to discuss it. This is about the dead, not the undead."

(This is making me feel bad about the other two active playthroughs I have where this guy is super dead back in the hag swamp. D: )

"Frey vald isk durovna," the woman by the fire intones. "Frey vald isk ablast."

Hector listens intently, but it's no language he recognizes.

"Our tribe left camp on a rescue mission," Gandrel says, the smile fading from his face. "Only Ulma and those you see here returned."

Hector's eyes narrow in sympathy. "Did they save whoever they set out to rescue?"

Gandrel frowns, his gaze falling. "They could not." He hesitates. "I will say no more. It is not my tale to tell."

The woman at the fire stirs, her eyes opening, and Hector is struck by the sharp grief in her gaze as she turns towards them.

"No," she says. "That shame is mine alone."

"I thought I knew the faces of all your friends, Gandrel. But this one is new to me."

Hector straightens respectfully, as he can tell this woman is some sort of authority figure here, and inclines his head in a polite half-bow. "I'm Hector Carlisle," he says.

"A friend met on the road, my lady," Gandrel explains. "I told you of the stranger in the swamp? They killed not only that fen's hag, but also the undying General Thorm, if the rumors are true."

The Gur leader looks at him with interest.

"Two fine trophies," she says thoughtfully. "Perhaps I can interest you in a third."

Hector frowns slightly. [MONK] "I take no pride in killing, nor trophies from it," he says gravely. "Sometimes it simply must be done." He has already said on more than one occasion that he isn't interested in being memorialized as a hero; even being introduced reverentially for those he has killed makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

The woman smiles slightly, seeming to approve of this attitude. "It is a solemn task," she agrees. "One this city forces us to undertake time and again." The smile fades again, the grief taking control almost at once. "Baldur's Gate is haunted by many things, but one of its most insidious is the vampire Cazador. For years, his foul spawn have stolen away innocents at night, whisking them back to his palace. Recently, they struck our camp."

Rage mingles with the grief, both helpless. "They took our children," she says hoarsely. "Every last one - our whole future."

Hector draws a sudden sharp breath in. His eyes flick to his companions; he sees his dismay reflected in their expressions. They already hated Cazador for what has been done to Astarion; they were already ready to hunt him down so that their friend could be fully free. But this goes even further beyond that. Children taken into that monster's grasp?

"We are monster hunters all," Gandrel says with an air of deep shame. "Our purpose is to kill beasts like these. But in our haste to save our little ones, we were rash. We charged straight into an ambush."

"They tore us to pieces," the leader says softly. "Vampire spawn and werewolves. I have never seen a vampire's lair so heavily guarded. What's left of my tribe is wounded and broken. We cannot stand against him to save our children." She stares at him, pleading, desperate. "But perhaps the slayer of Ketheric could?"

"I'll do whatever I can," Hector says immediately, with no hesitation.

She nods and he can see some hope come back into her expression, warming it considerably. "If you do this, our entire tribe will be in your debt. On our honor, it will be repaid. May the gods keep you and damn your enemies."

Hector needs no reward, to be honest. This is horrible to hear about and he is more than ready to make Cazador answer for all the people he's hurt.

PICTURED: Reverie moments before burning down Futaba's uncle's house.

I love how this game has flipped me from "i'm not cool with killing Kamoshida" to "i'm gonna slash tires of everyone who even looks at Sojiro funny"

AND THAT IS A PRACTICAL LESSON IN WHY PERSONAL JUSTICE IS FLAWED, TIP YOUR WAITERS

Morgana has a dream/nightmare/vision of his Shadow Self, who is also cat-shaped. Which, one, Morgana popping a Shadow right now would make so much sense tbh given his issues.

Two, he is so fucking distressed about this.

THIS IS SO FUCKING SAD. Morgana, I am on your side, bruh, this sucks so much. Morgana is trying to keep cool but is asking probing questions about if Reverie would still accept him if he was some kind of creature and just.

I feel for Morgana so much, idgaf, come at me.

/breathes out slowly

almost done with Moon. almost done. one more level up and we're DONE with Mishima.

OH. BEE TEE DUBS.

Mishima adds a feature to the Phansite where people can nominate victims for the Thieves. And yeah I said victims, because this is absolutely fucked eight ways to sunday, this is so beyond the pale, why are you SUCH an idiot, Mishima?!

if the Thieves end up hitting someone purely bc their won a popularity poll on the fucking site i s2g

MY PATIENCE FOR RYUJI

IS LITERALLY

AT ZERO.

I cannot fucking deal with how much I want to kick him out of the group, I am screaming inside. If there was a summary of "bad reasons to be a vigilante" he's using it as a fucking checklist.

it is only the process of Reverie being adopted by the Sakuras that is getting me through the darkness right now. Sojiro, I formally apologize for making fun of you at the start of this liveblog, you and Yusuke are the only people I can rely on right now. Please yes I would like some sushi, can I have a tekka don.

THAT IS MY LITTLE SISTER FOLKS

playing this fucking game is like being beaten with a whiffle ball bat and then being handed one (1) treat, over and over

Futaba did such a good job at the beach that she.... does what all people with weird brain stuff do, and we take one victory and immediately overexert ourselves and fuck up the next thing. Like, FOR REAL, relatable, I have BEEN THERE, i was there in the past TWO WEEKS baby.

So Futaba needs back-up in her journey to relearn how to exist int he world, and Reverie is raring to go.

I love her.

lmao the cut to Sae like "HM REPORTS CLAIM THAT YOU ACQUIRED A OLDER BROTHER-LY DEMEANOR BEGINNING IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST. CARE TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF???? BITCH?"

yeah obvsly

back in My Favorite Confidant Link, Kawakami actually calls Reverie in to tell him the exciting news, that she stood up for herself and told the Takases' she wasn't going to pay them anymore and was going to quite her side job to return to her passion for teaching.

Which: thrilling. So happy for her.

AND THEN THE TAKASES SHOW UP.

yanno. it's interesting that the game flat out says "sex worker" I was not anticipating that level of clarity about Kawakami. and given even modern standards and attitudes towards SWers, I'm relieved to see that the Villains of this story are the ones trying to use her status as a sex worker to ruin her life. Because, yeah, that's villainous behavior, Persona! I'm glad we agree on this.

Yeah fuck subtlety tbh, let's wreck these fools. They'll be lucky if Reverie only steals their hearts.

ALSO:

I THINK SHE KNOWS

i also think sojiro knows but that's neither here nor there. Sojiro has proven he can be extremely subtle.

oh the Big Bads are gonna kill the principal aren't they

they're gonna do the mental shutdown on him for being a failure, that's why he's so scared huh

bye bye i guess??????

I love that this is the kind of show where you can just HAVE a scam artist named Ponzi and it's not even out of place.

We're in for a weird one today, folks.

I will admit, it's a little jarring to follow up an episode about a horrifying con artist with an episode about a played-for-laughs con artist.

But I also get the feeling Ponzi was really fun to write.

Liveblogging time! #4

That's right folks we're already on post #4 and I'm still only halfway through chapter 1 🙃

I'll do my best to get all the way to chapter 2 today since I've got some unexpected free time

The contrast between WWX going "Well these kids didn't personally besiege me even if they're Lan" and the Lan going "Well Yiling Laozu's inventions are still useful even if we besieged him" is TASTY

WWX's first proper interaction with LSZ is so funny. "What a nice boy. I wonder who raised him. I want to give him a gold star and pat his head."

I feel like people don't make enough out of the fact WWX spends a good chunk of the first chapter (which is all about establishing stuff!) meditating. That's not something fanon WWX would do, and yet here we are

Love WWX going "Wooow MZY looks so awful. I mean he was always ugly but now it's worse."

Favorite part of today's reading section is, undoubtedly: "After all, he had boasted about slaughtering entire sects, laying waste to millions, making blood flow like rivers, and other such things when he was younger. But that was all talk, most of the time. If he really could do all that, he would’ve tyrannized the world already."

I love how he's like "I don't tyrannize and destroy the world!! ....most of the time. I mean if I could I would, I just can't." I love CQL WWX but man, casually evil novel WWX is just great

"Madam Mo wasn’t trying to avenge her son at all. She was only looking for someone to vent her anger on." I sure hope this isn't foreshadowing anything 🥰

Okay but can we talk about the implication of this phrase here? "The teachings of the Lan Clan of Gusu were extremely strict: they forbade raising a hand against normal folk, and not even rudeness was allowed." Cultivators as a whole really can just do whatever they want to normal folk. That's not just implied in this, but also reinforced by the narrative many times

I love how MXTX establishes how cool WWX is by having the juniors handle the entire crisis so much better than the Mo household, and then having WWX handle it so much better than the juniors

WWX kicking LJY to save LSZ will never get old. It's the weirdest Save The Cat moment I've ever seen

We're translating 剑 as longsword? Is it so that 刀 will be sword? 🤔 I don't know if I vibe with that because while I'm no weapons specialist, iirc 剑 are usually one-handed, while longswords are by definition two-handed, no? So it makes me picture the action scenes in a very different way. But I'm not checking this against the actual Chinese text, just going off memory here, so I might be missing something

WWX siccing corpses on anyone is always cool, but happily telling people who were alive half an hour ago to tear apart the very dismembered arm that killed them? Up there in the sexiest Yiling Laozu moments, I don't make the rules

Having said that, this scene, what with the hanging intestines and the biting corpses is one of the creepiest in the novel as far as I'm concerned. I'm not good with gore

I join the juniors in their chirping "Hanguang-jun!" This entrance is so awesome. The way two notes of a faraway guqin subdue the fighting that's been out of control for so long?? I love it. Especially the way he contrasts so well with WWX? The etheral clear sharpness of winter and pines vs WWX making corpses fight each other and crawl on the ground

Also thanks for keeping guqin untranslated, translators! Zither or any other translation just doesn't work for this particular novel, imho

Ah yes WWX's noble steed. Little Apple, the Temperamental Donkey.

Hey look! I'm done with chapter 1!

#liveblogging

[silvermuffins]

NieR:Automata: oof, been a hot minute

Let me hit up two big topics before we dive in, for the maybe five people who will read this and the one of you who was awaiting this but already knows the deal: Firstly, the five month absence of anything from me was the result of work getting super busy (STOP MAKING YOUR MOVIES TWO AND A HALF HOURS LONG, HOLLYWOOD, NOBODY ACTUALLY WANTS THAT). My other hobbies also got busy. And, well, both getting the PS4 going and liveblogging as I play games took more spoons than I was left with. Things are finally kind of chill again, at least for now, AND the two cats who pilot my meaty contraption actually agree on what to do, so here I am! Secondly, my laptop's keyboard is kind of fucky and some specific keys ain't workin' right. They are: A D B N X , . / - and enter. We may see some typos, folks! Or some completely incomprehensible bits, won't that be fun!

ANYWAY, let's get into it!

haven't even started the game, have no memory of where i'm at so we're just gonna Go

man i need a less awk setup

oh right fuck i got new internet and need to hook my ps4 up to it

hot damn i actually remember the new wifi password. doot doot updates and shit, probably shoulda done this before i started the post but you know what, I have never once in my life not been a disaster so why would i suddenly start now

okay NOW we Go

see if i even remember how to play

probably not

i have sidequests to turn in!

gee this map really is a lot bigger than i got to explore the first time through the game....hmmm

being friends with the meeses now really do be like "/walks out of vending machine" "/suddenly, MOOSE"

this leadup suggests either i am going to have to fight Jackass or she is going to explode me

i am pretty sure there is lore somewhere in this game as to why there is no day/night cycle but fuck if i have found it

found the Cruel Blood Oath! I am excited for this sword purely because my bestie and I used it for something in some of our secret fandom shenanigans--

i feel like this "project gestalt" is going to be relevant somehow

anyway i found jackass and it feels weird because i think even without the whole....alternate runthrough thing we've technically met her before

9S sweetheart please don't try to lie, you're bad at it

speed star wont talk to me which is fine because i suck at his quest anyway

fuck you, sir star

oh right this sidequest was shaping up to make me feel weird in the moral bits, like several others have done

Type-E?

ooooh

oooooooooh

dont like that

creepy chant starts up!

............i have questions about if those she was ordered to kill were really deserters

..............

well. at least she DID pay me.

2B did not confirm she didn't know

time to have a go at Daddy Serves

......i regret typing that but fuck it it's staying in

so he has 10 levels on me but i fight well and have healing items

.....sir are you going to just, have me cutscene kill you, or do i gotta get through another hp bar first?

iiiiiit's the latter

anyway pascal gave me monies thank u pascal

....wait what was i supposed to do to progress plot again? where do i find that out??? is there a main quest tracker somewhere???

literally right on the front of the goddamned menu letty be less stupid

....i don't have much to say to this part, okay, i already did it as 2B

i sorta wish i could find a list of the sidequests that are only completable as 9S? and maybe of the hackable things. just for completion's sake.

my cat really wants snuggles but has something against bent knees so she won't lapcat

forgot a dead machine's head hatches into emil

wha

flashback to the forest king founding....

time to finish off the photographs sidequest! see if this one will make me feel uncomfy in the moral bits,

it did not!

but as usual it was pretty existential

....i am losing steam i think imma call it here tonight

#letty plays shit #letty plays nier automata #nier automata #palletred #for your reading pleasure #sidequest hell tho #dude what if 9S actually sees this extra stuff im getting this playthrough #and he just doesn't fuckin tell anyone #that would be neat to play with #i STILL have feelings about the forest king #kinda a short one tonight #but my gaming chair gets cold #am sleepy
