as cool as their design is im really starting to dislike the sonau in general, aside from their stuff suddendly being everywhere and everything being about them and how cool(tm) they are now with the mystery stone turning people into dragons and the similarities between the sonau and the three dragons (naydra, eldra, farodra) its actually not an impossibility that they used to be sonaus as alot of people have been theorizing about ..but ...... idk that would very much ruin their otherwordly yet ethereal mystery to me
i probably sound like some hater whos trying to find something more to dislike about totk all the time but i promise im not!!
the three dragons being some unexplained mystery, beings that are there yet few can see them, timeless, nigh untouchable, they dont act on anything, they dont talk, something about them has always made me look at them in awe; if it turned out they were just yet another cool(tm) sonau guy that ate a stone ... :/
not a fan of that one lads, but dont worry, i will keep my thoughts to myself from now on, i dont want to ruin other peoples fun nor seem like i just hate everything ... the three dragons are just really important to me so i had to say something

how was playing hsr? was there anything that you liked in the game and the story?
ITS BEEN AMAZING AS EXPECTED!!!!!!!!! i actually havent played genshin in a while since starting it, i have no motivation to do the filler event while a perfectly good star rail is sitting there waiting to be played :')
but for mechanics, i love they have auto battle so you dont have to nessecarily sit there and invest in every little battle you gotta do....and i love that the resin (resin??) system is a lot more forgiving with a higher cap, lower cost, and allow for overflow...thats nice...i also love that the mc and starter units are very useful. im so emotionally attatched to the star rail crew so im glad they never have to leave my team !!!!
storywise im LOVING IT SO FAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i started playing it at the beginning of spring break 2 weeks ago and im almost all caught up!!! i went through belabog and penacony and now im just doing those leftover intermission main quests which im only now realizing i shouldve done before going to penacony LMAO
and of course.....danmarch....im so soft for them......and also i love sampo i cant wait to see what they do with him

I find it so fascinating how much the game keeps pushing that Kokichi is a bad guy. Like I know, he kills people in the game and he sure is a pain and a constant complication, but it feels like the game purposefully makes him more of a threat than he really is. Like, it’s in the name and the design. A cutesy whimsical guy who calls himself the Ultimate Supreme Leader already tells you more about him than whatever I write here does. But unlike Fuyuhiko, who had a similar effect going on with the whole sweet/threatening aura of his design and behavior, Kokichi’s contradicting personality seems to have much more of a narrative importance, not to mention the writing seems much more self-aware.
Before staring V3, I didn't have high hopes for Kokichi. I thought I was gonna hate him because he seemed as too tame of an antagonist to warrant so much infamy in the fandom. However, what I didn’t expect was for the game to KNOW that he actually isn’t that bad of a guy, and in fact making that the point of his character!
Both the game's writers AND the characters written by Team Danganronpa AND EVEN Kokichi himself pretend and give him more credit for his evil shenanigans than he deserves. Most of the time he’s just vulgar or standoffish or plain disinterested in other’s suffering. So what is the point of making him such a threat for no real reason? I know Danganronpa's writing well enough to understand that is not just a failed attempt at creating a villian. Is this supposed to show how lackluster Team Danganronpa's writing has gotten? Or how Pre-Game Kokichi was a normal guy with good morals and that's why this In-Game version is just a completely cartoonish version of a villian? Maybe because the template was created by Pre-game Kokichi himself? Did his brain experience an anomaly that would make his good moral side partialy carry through the personality change? Were the other characters in the game programmed to think of him as a threat even if he's just annoying and troublesome to inrease ratings? Or is it simpler than that? Is he pretending to be evil so that other characters intentionally distrust him at a certain point which would allow his savior plan to work out? Hmmm...
I guess the threat of him being a liar is supposed to put you on edge and make you never really be sure of what he's gonna do. But like, he's not a sociopath. He likes people and he is definitely sane. So even though I'm not denying he could be selfish to an extent of hurting others if he were to gain something from it, like ending the killing game, I'm sure he'd rather not kill than kill. Hell, from how I understand it now, he wants to end the killing game because he wants to STOP the cruelty inflicted on the others by Monokuma.
I had the exact opposite problem with Nagito. Sure, it's canon that he's not a big liar and that he has his issues but through the entire game I didn't believe a single word from his mouth. He just feels nothing for people! He likes talent and hope, we all know that too well! And he made it extremely clear that he would kill innocent people just because he believed he had a valid reason for it! And how could I believe a person who feels nothing for the others and has shown no conscience? I always felt like if it came down to it, he would try to murder Hajime and the others without batting an eye. And surprise, that's exactly what happened! (even if it was technically the dementia's fault, I acknowledge that).
Anyway, that's why I can't help but believe in The Liar somewhat. Now that I'm on chapter 5, it's obvious that he's doubling down on the sneaky behavior as a part of his plan, whatever it might be - but I am POSITIVE it does not involve watching people he semi-cares about die full with despair. So I'm not too scared of what he might do. And I know I shouldn't compare the two of the antagonists too much but I am just so touched by Kokichi's writing and how rewarding it is to think about his intentions. Before starting the game, Kokichi always seemed like a more "performative" evil, something more shallow and blown out of proportion in all the fanart and such, and I could not be happier that the game itself wrote him out to be like that.
I simply thought Kokichi received the standard “he killed people but he’s misunderstood / he has trauma / he had his personal reasons and therefore isn’t a bad guy :(” treatment and that’s why people were defending him. But no, he really IS kind of a good guy. I've said this before but I can't believe him and Nagito are grouped together so often, but well, maybe they are supposed to be reflecting each other in a way. When Nagito was doing his thing in Ch5, preparing for his big plan, I felt like crying all the time because there was nothing I could do to stop him from destroying himself and others for nothing, just for a stupid idea of talent and hope. With Kokichi, I've been sobbing throughout this chapter because I understand that to see him succeed in ending the killing game means Shuichi CANNOT stop him. If it has to end, Kokichi has to go down with his plan. So again, even if I could control Shuichi more, I couldn't do anything about his self-inflicted cruel fate.
I just want to see Kokichi win even if it makes me cry because he has the right idea in mind and well, seeing the protagonist defeat evil by yelling "I won't give up!" for the 3rd time would be pretty boring. He has some morals and that's why I believe his true intention is helping everyone (and himself), no matter what he says, but literaly has the most stand-offish way of going about it. At least it was his beloved lies that made it possible for him to attempt to save them all. Lying about not caring for them all. And that makes me, in a weird way, really happy.

I havent finished horizon forbidden west yet so no spoilers for that, but OH MY GOD every time I think about think about what that fucker Ted faro did to Apollo im like infuriated. I'm watching someone play zero dawn and im seeing again what was being developed for Apollo and im just like, the potential!!! For the humans in this game!!! The shear amount of knowledge they also preserved?? All gone!!!! They were going to take over the terraforming system? Unsure of what that means/entails exactly but AAAAHHHH
A part of me is hoping that we find out that somehow the far zenith people have an Apollo copy, since they had Gaia (from what I understand, I have not gone further west past the utaru territory yet in forbidden west - talking to new Gaia was so cool btw)
But RIP Apollo- you were never real because you are a game, but you never even got to be fake real
