Still reviewing games as I play and finish them over at https://www.backloggd.com/u/Lobst/reviews/ -- I'm debating whether to post these on Steam (where applicable) or Tumblr on top of this. It's nice to write for the sake of writing either way
Digimon Adventure 02 #21 - Goodbye, Ken-chan...
This and the episode where Hikari gets abducted by horrifying sea creatures are immediately preceded or followed by extremely light episodes; every In the Pale Moonlight gets its own His Way
Digimon Adventure 02 #21 - Goodbye, Ken-chan...
I appreciate that this show for young children is willing to spell out that someone with all the practical knowledge in the world is nevertheless capable of adopting a fascist mindset and creating mass destruction given the means and the rationale that his targets aren't 'alive'. The metaphor would've been better executed in a setting not constructed to sell a (very much not alive) virtual pet you can buy in stores, though
https://www.gematsu.com/2021/03/epic-games-acquires-fall-guys-ultimate-knockout-developer-mediatonic There's a meta element about playing live service games, and it involves worrying about making the most out of a game's enjoyable qualities before some in-house economist's bold vision makes those things disappear
DREAM: "We've heard reports of a controller drift issue, confirmed it internally, and will be sending out our new model to any registered user who requests one"
REALITY: "Check out Planet Z, this fiscal quarter's NEW character action title where PSIONIC POWERS can STOP TIME"
My favorite season of what I've seen was the first one, just because I enjoy analyzing children's TV to see how essential ideas for living are messaged inside it. I don't expect that to come back, since later seasons attribute their existence to the show's adult audience
That kind of work ethic can result in some dynamite art, but it's unhealthy if I've got nothing resembling a plan to get fairly compensated down the road for the time/effort I put in today. Praise and social media notifications are physically incapable of paying the bills
This is also a move to value myself more as an artist. My recent comic projects were (explicitly/in advance, no shade intended) for the satisfaction of helping friends, which is fun as a hobby, but my time/effort-management has me doing it at the expense of everything else
Or 2.0, rather! In any case, Sir Saxophone had a full day regardless #FFXIVAsPlayedByLobst
That's Costa Del Sol down, at this rate I should hit the end of 1.0 content by 2023 #FFXIVAsPlayedByLobst
The good news is I don't foresee myself rolling a new character in the foreseeable future, my main is too much of a lovable doof to consider otherwise
Digimon Adventure 02 #9 - Overdrive of the Evil Ring's Magic
In characterizing Ken the story's been showing off his rationale for attempting to assert power wherever he can while also demonstrating for the audience that those reasons are wrong; every cruel action of his seems to be the result of his overinflated ego and insistence on self-isolation. A lesser show would've made it a "cycle of cruelty" deal with abusive parents, but every aspect of his life seems perfectly supportive at this point
