[NEWS] OMORI Manga Adaptation In the Works - My Thoughts

What even. https://twitter.com/OMORI_GAME/status/1727341175911198780 So, there's apparently going to be an Omori manga adaptation and I'm quite interested in that! What are they gonna be doing? How are they gonna do it? Will this be any good? Am I gonna get my delicious Sunny X Aubrey scenes in grorious nippon styre or will this lean more into Sunny X Basil? Who's writing this thing? No really, who's writing this thing is an important question. I'll get back to that, but generally yeah, I'm excited for this. Even if it's bad, it's sure to be interesting. This almost doesn't feel real, are we actually doing this? I mean, cool, yeah, no that's cool but what? Huh? I kinda joked to myself about something like this happening and yet at the same time, I almost felt like it was going to. Omocat originally wanted it to be a graphic novel, but eventually kept having so many good ideas she realized would work best in a game so set out to make one instead. ...

[Theory] deltarune - One Toilet Means All The Toilets

There are some who don't remember the detail in UNDERTALE that monsters don't have toilets because their food is magic and is instantly turned into energy upon digestion. This is for two reasons, out of necessity rather than inspiration: 1. Food being HP restoring items makes more sense this way. and 2. Toby probably forgot to give them bathrooms and then decided to make up a silly lore explanation for why not. Those who do  remember this detail will mention it in regards to Toby Fox's follow-up game, the ongoing deltarune. When one of the monsters using the bathroom somehow manages to come up(which isn't TOO hard considering the degenerates of the fanbase), people will mention that monsters don't use the toilet. Now, usually, people will respond with "Well, deltarune is a different universe, so we don't actually know if that works the same way." I, on the other hand, can pretty definitively say it doesn't! I have a rock solid logic that can almost...

There weren't a whole lot of new games I played this year, it was mostly old ones. Because of this, I actually played so many old games I lost track of them! There won't be an "old games of the year" post or section because of this, at least not a long one. Let's get that out of the way! They Include but are Not Limited to : FFX The remakes of RE 1-3, as well as 4, 6, 7, and 8. Uncharted 1-4 FF7 Remake EarthBound And the first 2 Kingdom Hearts I also played Tales of Phantasia for the first time, and my final verdict on it is: A technically impressive game for the time with a fresh new combat system as well as cool music and graphics, but the story sucks and the act of playing it isn't fun. Lots of times you just kinda have to figure out where the fuck to go because nobody tells you other than "We need to find/do the thing!", the encounter rate is too high meaning you need to constantly stock up on Holy Bottles to lower it, much of the balance is awfu...

[Analysis] Deltarune - Actions Speak Louder Than Words

*These were originally meant to be simple notes which explains their structure, I just ended up writing so much it became more of a character analysis, so I decided to post it* Both Kris and Susie understand and believe that actions speak louder than words.  Susie is not swayed by any of Ralsei's attempts to get her to act more like a hero, instead she goes off to Lancer who shows he accepts and appreciates her style, thanking her for helping him be a better "bad guy" and incorporating what she taught him into his next appearence.  Later, Susie is not able to be reasoned with by Lancer, instead, what snaps her out of her anger is the fact he starts to stand there and take it instead of hurting her. By seeing that his actions show he really means what he says, she ends up not having the heart to go through with it and gives up.  Susie is swayed by these actions, not anyone's words, to decide to listen to Kris/The Player in battle. She has a change of heart and reconsid...

Old Games I Played This Year: Metal Gear Solid 4: The Guns of the Patriots . I replayed this because I bought the limited edition off of eBay. If you don't know, it comes in a really nice matte finish box with a metal plate featuring Yoji Shinkawa artwork that has a little part that slides off and reveals the cases inside. It comes with the game and a special behind the scenes blu-ray which I have not yet watched.  MGS4 isn't as bad as you might remember it if you hate it, and not as good as you might remember it if you love it. I mean from my point of view at least we're talking about subjective shit here. Like, I'm not gonna go over all the criticisms because many, many people have done so. I think it's a stupid, ass-pull story which either overexplains things that didn't need to be explained or completely retcons things which should have stayed where they were. It's too brown, the cutscenes are too long, it's long winded, pretentious, and in desperate...
