There is an early access survival game called Volcanoids where the gimmick is you have a mobile base that is basically a drill train that you build up and have to avoid periodic volcanic eruptions, but apparently you don't actually drive the drill train so gently caress that.

Aside from being the current big trend to cash in on BRs are fine imo, it's shooters that are painfully stagnant.

they will insist you do not call the titular Apex Legends "heroes" though, because that reminds people of overwatch

Given a thing is good, it becomes even better if it can latch onto my memories of other good things so that it functions as like, 1.1 good things in total. That said, latching onto positive memories won't turn something bad into something good except in very very borderline scenarios (looking at you fate/extella, which I ditched the instant I finished Tamamo's story because I don't have any positive memories of Atilla)

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


The crossover is good when it is rare, unexpected, and enhances both sides of whatever you're crossing over. The most successful crossover of all time was undeniably eukaryotic endosymbiosis.

I tried watching the first couple of episodes of RWBY, and I've been assured it gets better but I'm just gonna take their word for it

The Altera story is good and also has Gilgamesh and Iskander, and she is certainly more fun to play than Tamamo.

Tamamo is my favorite Fate character and it would have taken a miracle for Atilla to be good enough to salvage the third arc since Tamamo was barely enough for the second

I remember RWBY was being animated in a program that usually isn't used for animation, what was it, Blender? Or something else?

I just know that the creator is dead and also that he made that haloid thing and I've heard that he animates fight scenes pretty well which is why the fight scenes in RWBY are supposedly really really good and then the rest is like
