Once again:

The way Sora becomes Rage Mode/Anti-Sora is just so?? Sad??? Kinda???

Like this option is only available once he loses so much health and is like close to dying or passing out. And I think this is such a specific detail. Seriously, you cannot use this form as long as he has good HP, and I think that’s all it depends on. Not magic lvl, not the MP gauge, not his focus, nor any of his keyblades.

At least this is what I think. If he can use this form in any other way, then I’m interested in knowing, but from what I’ve experienced, he can’t. He can only use it when he’s close to death or passing out. AND the other time he is in this form is when Xehanort steals his light in the ending. He literally steals the light from his body and he becomes Anti-Sora/Rage Form and I believe this is Nomura being like, “YO this is VERY important.”

Mainly because like…why would he specifically include that detail with Xehanort? Couldn’t he have only stolen some HP or MP? Or even took away Donald and Goofy and made it one on one for a moment? But no he literally stole his light and forced him into Anti-Sora/Rage Mode. I think this only proves more that Sora has this darkness within him that he can control, but that saves him in a way. When he’s out of light, he has a form to rely on that he can still control but also not.

Whenever we’re in this form, Sora is looking around, flinching or spazzing, jumping slightly, and in constant fighting position. It’s like it’s his defense. With no light, he goes into a defense mode with his darkness that is constantly on watch and not resting.

Ik I’m overthinking it, but the fact that Nomura gave us this form in the first place and the fact that’s it canonically used in the final battle is very interesting and seems important to me.

And Ik I’ve been posting about Rage Form/Anti-Sora so much but it’s just always on my thoughts guys. Just like Soriku lol.

#kingdom hearts #kh #kingdom hearts theory #kingdom hearts Sora #kingdom hearts 3 #idk. probably overthinking but yeah. #i love this form bc it’s a BEAST. I just used it in Monstropolis btw. still in it and just observing what he does. #he’s constantly on watch and looking behind him and back and forth and just!!! spastic!!! #i love him and this form is giving me anxiety for him and sadness as welll. #Sora you deserve the world #me playing kingdom hearts 3 #me playing games

[itsbasil]

this literally never stops being funny like dog they made starship troopers with the Baby's First Satire cranked up to 11 and these people are still fucking dumbfounded that the creators don't share their politics

#idk if anyone who follows me plays helldivers 2 but trust me #when it comes to “political commentary in video games” #helldivers 2 does everything short of putting “YOU ARE FIGHTING FOR THE BAD GUYS” in every loading sequence #helldivers #helldivers 2

I love the idea of the Wayne kids dropping extremely vague and disturbing comments during galas. Especially when in uncomfortable situations or if they're just bored. They pull out things from their nightlife too. Other times they just make shit up.

Socialite: Oh, dear, your cheeks look so sullen! Who sucked the life out of you?

Tim, dead serious: An old man with a goatee.

Socialite: Uh... what?

Dick: Once I broke my knee so badly that I swear I could see part of the bone sticking out.

Socialite: Good lord. How on earth did that happen?

Dick: Just clumsy gymnast things ^^

Socialite: The white streak is certainly a bold fashion choice.

Jason: I saw someone get decapitated once, so I could be doing worse in terms of what's on my head, yknow? At least I have one.

Socialite: What's your favourite colour, sweetie?

Damian: Red.

Socialite: Oh that's lovely!

Damian: Like the blood of my enemies.

Socialite: Oh.

Socialite: You must be new to these kind of events.

Duke: Uh, yeah, they're kind of scary. But I've had worse.

Socialite: Worse.

Duke: Well I've been left on top of a skyscraper before with no way down just to 'get over my fear of heights' so, yes.

Socialite: You don't talk very loud, do you? I can barely hear you.

Cass, with a straight face: If I spoke any louder every glass in the room would shatter.

Tim, behind her: I can vouch.

#batfam #batman #cassandra cain #damian wayne #dc comics #dick grayson #duke thomas #jason todd #tim drake #they make bets on who can freak out the most stuck up socialites #its a very fun game for them #bruce just lets it happen #he secretly finds it funny #sometimes even plays along #socialite: so how did you end up with so many kids? #bruce: they were brought to me by an alien

it's come to my attention that a lot of people don't know about bluemaxima's flashpoint and genuinely think they'll never be able to play their favorite 00s internet games ever again so i just want to remind everyone that flashpoint is a huge internet flash game preservation project that allows you to play just about any internet flash game/animation despite the death of flash. if they've got it in their database (and they probably do) you can play it. go forth and drink in the 00s nostalgia

even if you think there's no way they'll have the game u want. they probably do anyway. when i first downloaded flashpoint i thought for sure theres no way they will have the obscure flash game i played for hours as a kid that was only even available on the internet for like 2 months in 2006. but you know what. they had it. seriously, download flashpoint

#whenever i see someone go ''oh im so sad i'll never be able to play [INSERT FLASH GAME THAT IS DEFINITELY ON FLASHPOINT HERE] again'' #it makes me want to scream #GO DOWNLOAD FLASHPOINT

Still playing Banishers Ghosts of New Eden and YALL!!!

I’m so glad I have a discord friend to gush about it to and not just tumblr. I literally love it SO much. I kick my feet in excitement each time I turn it on, and when I see a cute Red and Antea moment or comment. It just AGHHH!!!

If anyone is looking for a good game to sink their teeth in, I recommend this SO HARD. The protagonists are great, the cases you do are literally so good, and the gameplay is just good!!!

#Banishers ghosts of new Eden #me playing games #I LOVE this!! idk how to explain how much #I was excited for the release but I had no idea I would love it this much lol

haven't seen this on here yet so:

in case you don't want to slog through the shitscape that is the bird/letter website, take a peek beneath the cut (shamelessly copied from the something awful forums dungeon meshi thread)

- Her first memory of video games was watching her father playing Wizardry on Famicom, also Dragon Quest, Ultima, and Fire Emblem among others.

- She was a difficult child so her parents didn't let her play. Wizardry is a boring game to watch, but the monster illustrations on the walkthrough evoked her imagination and made her keep watching.

- She only started becoming a serious gamer after the serialization of Dungeon Meshi was locked, for research purposes. Before that, she read fantasy novels such as The Neverending Story (Michael Ende) and The Lord of the Rings (JRR Tolkien).

- The international title for Dungeon Meshi: Delicious in Dungeons was decided by her editor.

- D&D popped up a lot when she researched the history of video games, so she read the rule books, replay novels, and games inspired by D&D.

- One of the first games she studied was the Legend of Grimrock (game's 80% off on Steam atm). Originally, she wanted Dungeon Master (FTL Games) which was famous for "RPG with meals" but hunting down the game and machine was too much.

- She didn't like games other than turn-based RPGs at first, but she decided to stop being picky and play anything that piqued her interest.

- She played Zelda: BotW and TotK on a borrowed Switch from her editor due to the console's scarcity at the time.

- She enjoyed Red Dead Redemption 2 and God of War for their stories. RDR2's incredible attention to detail had Kui engrossed so much that she asked her editor and other mangaka to play it so she could discuss it with them.

- Kui praised The Witcher 3 localization as something only possible with full support from the developer. Cyberpunk 2077 is one of her all-time favorites.

- Papers, Please was her first taste of indie games.

- Disco Elysium is the perfect game for her due to the lack of fighting, intriguing story, charming character interaction, and top-down perspective. She tried playing it in English at first due to an unlikely chance for JP loc, but it was out of her ability. Thus she is forever grateful to Spike Chunsoft for localizing it.

- Kui played Baldur's Gate 3 from the time it was in Early Access. Again, she's grateful for Spike Chunsoft's JP loc. She hoped BG3's success would bring the possibility of JP loc for other titles too, such as Pathfinder: wotr

- She likes games with top-down perspective because they have narration text for monologues and scenery description. Even if the graphic is lacking, the texts show the atmosphere and each character's behavior and psyche. Also, characters that react to your choices.

- She praised Unpacking and House Flipper for being able to tell what kind of person lives there only through their belongings, and that there's no right or wrong for the placements; she would make the best arrangement and then enjoy her hard work while sipping tea.

- The biggest inspiration for Dungeon Meshi was the Cosmic Forge pen from Wizardry VI. With improved graphics from its predecessor, now it could show broken farming tools in the background and many more details that made exploration so much fun.

- At the time of the interview (Dec '23) she still hadn't watched DunMeshi anime, but she attended the recording sessions. She's embarrassed that the dialog she wrote now acted passionately by professionals. Marcille's screaming was wonderful but also made her want to flee.

- Kui was anxious about the CP2077 anime adaptation, but she was relieved it was the Night City she knows and loves.

- Other than minor adjustments, she left it to TRIGGER as to how to adapt

- She's happy that Mitsuda Yasunori was chosen as the anime composer, as she used to play Chrono Cross and rewatched the opening many times.

- Her anticipated games in 2024 are Cloudpunk, Nivalis, and Avowed.

- DunMeshi would be hard to adapt into a game because in the first place, what Kui depicted in the manga are parts that are omitted in games for the sake of brevity.

- If DunMeshi game was Wizardry-like, it'd be told through Laios' perspective and eating was essential not to die

#dungeon meshi #she only started playing video games after dunmeshi got picked up???? damn #that's dedication to the craft #i would *so* play a dunmeshi video game... #likes top-down perspective and strong narratives and character reactivity... she's just like me fr
