I wonder if people ignored it as much back then as they do now

I hate you so much.

Also, will be following this. Finished the game, going to see how much poo poo I ended up missing, like that stupid bunker quest that if you blinked you'd miss it.

And maybe that'll motivate me to actually 100% it.

You use the word "headcanon" unironically.

if he had said it was his interpretation, would that be less offensive? coming up with explanations for things left unexplained is a natural part of interacting with media, also could i make that sentence any nerdier wow

You probably could've made it more nerdier, yes.

I think though that interpretation is less offensive yes. Headcannon has something of a negative connotation likely due to the some of the people do often use it for less of their interpretation of events and more of what they fantasize happens behind/before/after the presented scenes in a story.

I'm drunk and this is my first post since I think Drakengard 3 thread. But possibly even earlier? Iunno not going to check (E; I checked...I can't check without paying, so I'm not going to check). TDI, keep up the beautiful work. One of these days I'll finish reading D3 in the archive (have read D1 and Nier)

WELL THAT JUST HAPPENED!

Drakengard thread reread, part 1: After the first few chapters, the thing that confuses the thread most is what's going on with Angelus' horns. One goon (Sejs Cube) thought it looked like a chef's hat.

Also it seems like a lot of the early responders were familiar with the game, though most gave up on the weapon acquisition part. A common post is "Y-your not going to 100% this, are you? :ohdear:"

EDIT: also, someone spoiled the Grotesques on page 2

The desert robots wear facade masks and i thought the first Nier was supposed to be in Japan, so that would be a hint.

Yeah, now that you mention it I'm remembering a bunch of other stuff that makes it more obvious. I guess there was something that just threw me off later in the game, but I can't mention it until ID actually gets there in the LP. It's minor, but I don't want to chance it.

They are the kind of game you expect to pick up in a budget bin, yet never seem to drop in price. Me and a friend usually go halves on them to get the cost down to something affordable.

my general take on the "emotions are prohibited" stuff are that they're very frowned upon by rule during missions, but not like, disabled, because the androids are still supposed to be reproductions of humans, and disabling emotions would be unacceptable for that.

The post literally says "you get shot down by fighter jets over Tokyo". The thing with spoilers is once they start rolling, they don't stop. I was reading an FFX LP (not TDI's) and the author had gotten through, like, an hour of the game when I already had most of the plot points laid out, and at that point I no longer cared.

It's on page six that The Dark Id asks goons to stop spoiling stuff, and the first response is ":byodood: but they can look it up on youtube anyway, so who cares?"
