#khux #ephelayer #weh i forgot hoa sen’s iconic earrings but my ipad already died for me to fix it. #anyways #they’re not wearing gloves it’s a deliberate choice #i feel like the reason why ephemer wears gloves was not only to just grip his keyblade easier. #but he’s also just touch adverse. while being touch starved. #because imagine living to find the truth that everything was a lie? and the next thing you know #your home is also a lie (the data world of daybreak town) #that’s gotta mess with his psyche a little bit #thus i feel like my player (hoa sen) would help eph by reminding him that he is real and so is player #so he would take off his gloves and offer to hold ephemer’s when they spend time together just to ground or destress him. maybe dance too #it’s sweet. hoa sen is sweet :> #ephemer #💚 hoa sen nguyen #khux copium chronicles

Random question about the “they should make persona for people who like good games” post. Do people think the persona series is that bad? I know they aren’t perfect but I wouldn’t call them bad games.

I had a wholeass essay written out before i realized im too tired to make it sound coherent. AND my only experience is p 4 and 5, so my opinion on it means jack shit. All i can say is that the most recent titles suffer from bad writing. (And repetitive gameplay, but thats a different issue). Be it poorly written characters and dialogue, or poorly written interactions and plot, it is hard to take some of the stuff in the more recent games at face value. One could argue that that just means the game is subpar, not necessarily bad, but thats subjective; bad means different things to different people. And i say this as someone who thinks this game is Not the best but still found it incredibly engaging and entertaining.

#chattin #i am the kind of person to write video essay length posts on games that disappointed me LOL #so i am the wrong person to ask #remember that when thinking about the quality of a game; you should ask urself #who is the target audience? is it accessible to this audience? do i need an outside source to keep up with this game ? (like a guide) #if its in a series; what does it do to separate itself from the others? #is the writing okay? characters? interactions( #? #insensitive content ? #how is it handled? the game may me okay for me but can I have my fat friends enjoy this game??? #can i have my trans friends and gay male friends enjoy this game??? #who can i recommend it to? my sister is unable to process all of the social links and requirements for these social links #so she just. doesnt do it. she IS the target audience bc she likes rpgs #and she likes the story and characters. but its too overwhelming #and the social links would be overwhelming regardless of the difficulty #are u meant to enjoy the game in one playthrough or across multiple runs?? #is it WORTH it to do those runs? for a game that has ‘choices’ it is painfully linear #and it confuses people who are trying to follow the rules (do things in my free time to build confidants) #when theyre unable to actually hang out w confidants bc of a rush of mandatory scenes #velvet room fusions are a pain and overly complex #and the game stops being about making a good build #and it starts to become ‘make a shadow null to everything bc the game will keep instakilling you’ #forcing a game over when ur main character dies is ALWAYS bad to me i will swear by this #u make more interesting builds when u arent scared of a gameover #weh. rambling #the game is as bad or good as u want it to br #people clearly love it; we talk about our faves all the time. but how many of us are replaying a game meant to be replayed. not many.

Cadybear's Reviews VERY Brief Thoughts- With Every Heartbeat

Welcome to the twenty-second official Cadybear's Reviews VERY Brief Thoughts! Today I'll be talking about With Every Heartbeat, which I have ranked on the "Silver Tier" at 7 stars out of a possible 10. My last and only playthrough of this was around April 2021.

Not much to say about this one. It was pretty straightforward, you romance someone who has cancer, and considering the book is tagged as "tragedy"... we all know how it's gonna end. It was more or less done well, though. 

There wasn’t really anything particularly special about it to me other than the uniqueness of having an LI that inevitably dies, but it’s serviceable and does well what it wanted to do. And unlike with something like ROD, I can understand why people love it and get super emotional/teared up over it. I’ll admit, I was pretty shook when Dakota’s death actually happened, even knowing it was inevitably gonna happen. 

Though this has to be THE most pointlessly genderlocked books of all pointlessly genderlocked books. Like, come on. COME ON. I dare the “let women have this one thing” crowd to try and justify this, cause I’m pretty damn sure women aren’t disproportionately lacking in tragic cancer patient romance stories. 

So while I don’t think it’s brilliant, I can get why other people like it, and it’s certainly worth a replay.

I’m sick of the MC vs Single LI dynamic PB has been pushing on us. Most of the time the MC and the single LI are at odds for most of the story and “develop chemistry” in the most artificial way ever like three or four chapters in.

Here are all the single love interest stories (so far):

Witness: A Bodyguard Romance

The Nanny Affair

With Every Heartbeat

A Very Scandalous Proposal

Shipwrecked

Ms. Match

Surrender

Crimes of Passion

Untameable

The Cursed Heart

The Phantom Agent

Kiss of Death

And out of all those stories, only With Every Heartbeat and The Nanny Affair had MCs and love interests who weren’t constantly adversarial or stubborn or always arguing. With Every Heartbeat was gold. The Nanny Affair was one of my least favorites, if not, THE least favorite. And the rest of them (aside from KoD, which I haven’t played) I was super neutral about or simply disliked.

The main character vs. love interest thing is so overdone it’s not even funny. We get a firebrand main character who’s a flirt and a (usually) reluctant love interest who’s also simultaneously a flirt, AND cocky. They both proceed to annoy the living shit out of each other and still somehow fall in love almost immediately regardless of how unappealing their romance actually is.

I want more dynamics like the WEH MC and Dakota Winchester, when they were both attracted to each other from the get go but tried to keep it purely platonic for a while before they ended up going “fuck it, I have a huge crush on you and our friendship is only deepening it”. I want more genuine progression and everyday moments like when the MC helped Dakota learn to ride a bike, or when they went to the fall festival, or when they worked on Dakota’s film together.

It’s moments like these, the average, the mundane, the ordinary, that make the relationship more human between main character and love interest. They foster a genuine connection rather than constant bickering and fighting. A blossoming relationship built on a foundation of laughter, of trust, of mutual support, of kindness, rather than sarcasm, cockiness, and petty arguments.

The audience needs to root for the main character and their love interest, which is less likely to happen if they’re constantly at each other’s throats. Some people like enemies to lovers, or rivals to lovers, hell, even reluctant allies to lovers. I like all that too when it’s done well.

In a lot of the books above, one of four things happens.

1. The main character is an annoying little shit at best or an asshole at worst.

2. The love interest is an annoying little shit at best or an asshole at worst.

3. Both are annoying at best or assholes at worst.

4. Both are wishy washy as hell and have no real substance other than some petty bickering and sudden realizations of love despite knowing each other for like a week.

That does not make these MC and love interest dynamics appealing. Quite the opposite, actually. How these characters can somehow stomach each other with how consistently petty and annoying they are and how little natural relationship progression they get, I’ll never know.

All I know is, PB is trying over and over and over to fling a bowl of spaghetti at the wall and make it stick, but all it does is splat onto the floor.

I heard this boss got nerfed but it was still pretty fun either way.

#so many people are always like ''weh at least I beat [x boss] before the nerf I'm so good'' #meanwhile I had fun playing the game without being pissed off or bored so clearly the nerf was a good choice #Dooz plays games #armored core 6 #ac6
