The empathy and emotion given for characters, the insight and real world application is just so great.

As someone that has a severe empathy for characters when playing games like this, It's great to see more in depth insight and discussion than most people usually have.

Highly suggest a watch.

Came across this youtube channel www.youtube.com/@eurobrady of a Therapist that does let's plays of games and analyzes the psychology of the characters, his own, and the writing of the games.

It's fucking amazing. It's genuinely the best of any Let's Play I have ever seen.

I think it's worth still because even if they are trying to use you for cheap labor, it's only 1 day and it's pay even if it's shitty pay. If they were using you, it's 1 day. If they hire you, it's worth the risk of 1 day. No different than wasting a few hours on a shit interview.

I'm very happy they didn't do some awkward ass Kabo over exaggeratedly denying it. It's a trope I really dislike in general, and especially in this case with their personalities. The writing and direction have both been really good for every single character. It's such a delightful show.

Mikey @amikelystory.bsky.social · 4d

There was no forced tension, there was no forced struggling. It was very natural progression.

This ep also did a lot of very small subtle things to really push Kabo's character. The conversation with the conbini manager was super well done and Kabo's internal dialogue after were spot on.

Okay, apologies to you Wandance. While your modeling did not improve, the actual animation for the 3d cg scenes went fucking crazy hard in the latest episode.

They up'd the romance aspect in this episode, but it was very cutely well done and very unforced. It's the opposite of whats popular.

It should not be this hard to get a Hexa clear with pickups in Granblue. I don't understand why every single one I've tried you have people that either don't know mechanics or straight up just afk and try to leech.

Mikey @amikelystory.bsky.social · 10d

Good luck, i finally got one today too. Only... I was asking technical questions and the person that would be my supervisor had no clue what I was talking about... and they're underpaying.

I can see it. I dunno I just hate stories where everyone is dumb as bricks.

Yeah, so what I asked was "So let me guess, all the kids die except mika, and he ends up with one of the girls." and James goes "Yeah pretty much... except both girls."

... yeah... i guess.

Mikey @amikelystory.bsky.social · 12d

I didn't even bother with S2, S1 was such a terrible train wreck that not knowing anything about S2 I asked friend if the ending was _______ and he was like "yeah... pretty much".

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

I dunno, whenever people talk about rates and stuff, it just makes me feel that y’all are terrible at math and should never gamble. Like I could really get into it with how much free Econ you get and prices but I’ve tried before and they never get it.

Mikey @amikelystory.bsky.social · 16d

In comparison umamusume had a 3% roll rate with a choosable at 200.

So that’s 6SSR and a chooseable at 200 or 2 at 180.

Mikey @amikelystory.bsky.social · 16d

I don’t understand why people say hoyoverse is generous with its rolls and percentages. Realistically speaking the percentage rates are piss poor and pity is 90 rolls. So .6% roll rates and a guaranteed at 90. But 50/50 for banner character at worse 180 to get 2 5* one you want.

I wish certain characters and parts were fleshed out more and the very end chapters felt kind of rushed, it just feels like 10 years of playing and loving this game reached a point where I’d be satisfied if I stopped.

I won’t, but it feels like I’m okay with it now.

Mikey @amikelystory.bsky.social · 17d

No spoilers of course, but Granblue main story finished two days ago, with a new main story to come later. After playing this game for 11 years, this feels so surreal to me. It’s like an mmo story completely finishing 10 years in. A gacha story finishing is just, crazy to me. While it wasn’t perfect

This is especially true for the Silent Hill series where endings are just one possible path and rarely are they good or bad.

I can specifically think of a game where the “good ending” is actually the bad ending and the “bad ending” is actually the true ending, but because one “seems happy”…

Mikey @amikelystory.bsky.social · 19d

I dislike how everyone labels endings as Good / Bad / True. Because in a lot of games they aren’t. Fans dub the endings this way and the “True” ending isn’t the True ending, and the “Good” ed isn’t actually good. I also know a lot of devs hate when fans do this because it underminds the writing.

I know @jchensor.bsky.social talks about it a lot, but it’s just insane how people would purposely be stupid than ever admit or even not admit, just accept that they may be wrong about something.

In this case they didn’t have to admit shit, just not attempt to play the game in the wrong chat.
