Finishing Yakuza pirate was a big ask. I hate it took so long, but I'm glad I got it in before the end of the year. Finishing When They Cry (in so far as I want to read it) and Yakuza Pirate are big wins for such a tough year.

I had a good time but ended up blasting through cutscenes. My main regret is not skipping more cutscenes.
YAKUZA: LIKE A PIRATE (2025)
this rgg title is as fun as the story hurts me, and the story is about babysitting milquetoast child, an alcoholic uncle named Bass Pro Shop, purple shirt, and a tiger as they haggle for the percentage of the lost treasure of Whatever they'll get to take home.
6/10

I see this xenoblade x promotional image getting thrown around re: Metroid desert looking pokemon Scarlet and Violet, but I wish people would use actual screenshots instead of promo images.

CICONIA 1: FOR YOU, THE REPLACEABLE ONES (2019)
It's "just Gundam 00" long enough for the setting to be established. Then it's a beautifully Orwellian interpretation of more Christian symbolism. If there was ever one to go on an indefinite hiatus, this gives the most to think on.

listening to a guy advocate against books, games, etc. trapping us in completionist purgatory but he goes too hard and lands on "never challenge your tastes, drop everything that isn't immediate gratification"

I have been listening to gobs of videos titled "Tears of the Kingdom Destroyed Open World Games" and without fail the central thesis is "i just really liked breath of the wild's story, man"

the smiling friends anime convention slob conversation is framed as "it's transphobic" vs "umakshuly weebs are gross" but no one on the show fucks with weeb stuff so it's lame either way

japanese games will pull ideas from dragon quest because dq is the air we breathe, and nintendo americans will claim games are pulling ideas from zelda that were decade-old ideas from dragon quest (or earlier rpgs!)

I see the new Zelda movie pictures and feel nothing. No hate. No despair. No joy. No need to think about it. Zelda used to be a big part of my life.

unlike all of the other people complaining on the Internet, my complaining is pure-hearted. the other complainers are system-gaming frauds. they aren't operating on my level. their complaints are not noble like mine.

we simply have to acknowledge that dark souls is not a soulslike but simply the world's first jrpg2
jrpg isn't a real genre. its a useful shorthand and comparative term (i.e. if you like tales games you'll probably like falcom games) but when more academically discussing things like whether the genre has "evolved" enough or not it becomes tautologically useless

my personal take on Higurashi is that every chapter is actually true (everyone was out to get keiichi, the sonozaki's are bastards, etc.) with the one caveat that Oiishi is always right in every world but the narrator doesn't realize it.
HIGURASHI 8: MATSURIBAYASHI (2006)
flawed but R07's plot weaving is superhuman. his critique on christianity, that god would even have to sacrifice his son, is my realization of his theme of allowing outsider views to challenge our stuck cultures. takano's backstory stinks. au au au. oiishi=👑

Gotta hand it to Ryukishi07 with Ciconia. It feels like he grappled with comments that his themes were too idealistic, thought hard about the necessity of military powers for maintaining peace, then became so disgusted with the state of the world that he couldn't bear to think about it anymore.

Chapter 5 of Higurashi Eight returns to R07's strengths before getting intermissions of "sympathy for th bioweapon."

I think Higurashi 8 (2006) is wanting me to empathize with a eugenics supporter which could make Higurashi a spiritual sequel to Gundam SEED (2002).
