They/them I mainly post about games and I cannot promise any sort of throughline. I jump around as my brain suggests! https://medium.com/@lozangenet

Seeing footage of scarlet and violet on switch 2 really does highlight just how unacceptably awful the games ran (and still run!) on switch 1 It's not just the framerate, or the resolution, or the art style, or the memory leak, or the bugs - it's all of it together.

I have reached the part of yugioh world championship 2004 where you have to use an all monster deck to defeat Ishizu 10 times. It's nightmarishly boring. Ishizu is quite happy to use spell and trap cards herself, so the only solution 99% of the time is to walk into all the traps until she's out.

Early yugioh games are so silly because they want fusion to be a thing *so bad* but also you can go forever without a copy of polymerization to make any of the fusions happen

To a T (the latest Keita Takahashi game) is real good so far The beginning of the game is this thoughtful depiction of what accessibility looks like for a T-posing teen in the comfort of their own home And then there is school. The education system. Other kids. A mistake! It's hard to disagree.

Making a short list of things that the AI for Arkana in yugioh world championship 2004 has done against me specifically, with the card cannon soldier.

how is anyone meant to make progress in this life when every day there is laundry

My metaphor piece has been "selected for a boost" on medium (read: someone on medium staff likes the thing so the site will now promote it) This has not happened before! A little overwhelmed really, didn't expect this to be the one to do it lol

I'm reading 52 (I've never read a dc comic in my life) As a new reader, the opening issue is so fun - Booster Gold's opening section is about how he's from the future and superman, batman and wonder woman are fine. It's a prequel! I was inclined to believe him.

Earlier this year I finished Metaphor: ReFantazio, a game with a bunch of really interesting ideas. In the end, I didn't like it. In this...review? I guess it's a review. I attempt to analyse how Metaphor undermines all the interesting ideas it starts with. medium.com/@lozangenet/...

Next time I write something it will be positive or at least neutral, this is a promise I'm making to myself

Hundred line academy is reviewing well, I've read a few reviews at this point, I *still* can't figure out if I'd like it lmao For both Kodaka and Uchikoshi, the line between "the characters are unlikeable (in a good way)" and "the characters are unlikable (and this sinks the whole story)" is thin

*is playing random tracks in theatrhythm to relax before bed* Me: Me: ohhhhh, the last note in Chrono Cross -Scars of Time- is a down arrow and a left arrow together. Like the logo! A clock with hands pointing those directions! Clever.

Just got done watching the King of Fighters live action movie with my partner. I know nothing about King of Fighters, he's a fighting game fan. Awful movie! Had a great time. Highlight was an early action scene music track that used the same sample as Glyphic Canyon. youtu.be/iPFZMMkR7NI?...

Have you ever read a bad, police propaganda visual novel about how criminal profiling is unambiguously great, written about how this is not the case if you think about it for five seconds, and then had your own country independently go "damn this is a great idea"

Ok, $450 console, I dunno how much that is in pounds, it will probably be £450 also. Fine. I'll deal. $80 for Mario Kart?!?! £80 for Mario Kart?!?!?!? I feel like we skipped £70 entirely if true. ...Are they still going to do those switch vouchers???

Big Path of Radiance fan excited to play Path of Radiance for the first time

Also I have finished the first draft of the metaphor piece, don't expect it *soon* because I've got some editing to do and I need to find the time and energy (mainly energy), but it's happening. I need to figure out what I'm doing for screenshots. But it's happening.

I've been trying to be more uh, visible, gender wise in my personal life recently. Like at home, not beating the allegations, reinforcing non-binary stereotypes in real time. At work? Until recently I have not had the confidence to do much of anything.

"No sleep for Kaname Date" yeah after some of the posts I've seen that doesn't surprise me
