“Regarding the Pain of Others and How Wartime Photography Would Be More Conducive for Change if all Soldiers Wore Cute Little Neckties” was the original title before the editors made her shorten it.

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.

Goddamn, I love how off the rails the Omega Weapon fight goes in FF16 DLC1, just like fully automatic insane-o-mode



I think the series so often walking the fine line of swords and sorcery X weird extradimensional body horror robots thing is such an integral part of the Final Fantasy thematic DNA that does not get enough credit in terms of how consistently kickass it is, too often overshadowed by the public's love for horse-sized chickens and winged fur marshmallows

Its pretty much a ff14 boss battle only without you being gimpped by mmo limits (from the bits ive seen anyway lol havent tried the dlcs just yet but its coming)

I think Automata is stylized enough that it all kind of worked and I never questioned it, but in the Stellar Blade demo it kind of felt like """"serious""""" enough sci fi that it had me wonder why she needed a tiny necktie. Like her tits and butt hanging out makes sense maybe from some aerodynamics perspective, but why the tiny necktie? what's that for?

But and tits aerodynamics is a thing I didn't expect to read today and made me laugh.

PlayStation 5: butt and tits aerodynamics

You know, I may end getting this game just to play it with my missus because we watch anime together and we giggle like kids whenever they put some fanservice for no reason at all. For reference we are both over 40 (41 and 42) and watched Ranma 1/2 as kids. She even played with me some Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 on my 360.

Ranma 1/2 was the very first anime I ever watched. Rumiko is truly blessed and her genderbending style is cute and never for a moment feels exploitative.

Hard for me to juxtapose it with the cynically employed sexuality in a game like NieR: Automata (or Stellar Blade) and its political and philosophical woolgathering. The post-human fascist death cult androids in Automata are very specifically dressed in the fetishized regalia of sexual repression in service of supreme violence. We know this to be one of the central ideals of 'beauty' under nazism specifically and fascism generally, the master/slave ideological hierarchy is made sexually gratifying through violent release, sexual mastery over the 'feminine' masses, and a certain theatricality of attaining unblemished 'granite' beauty while doing it all, so the aesthetic surface of the culture is hypersexualized even if the structure is fundamentally puritanical. Liberal culture borrows these surfaces for its commodities both shamelessly and carelessly. Nevertheless, Automata used such aesthetic associations in a cheeky way to tell a story about consciousness and ideological deprogramming. I suppose it remains to be seen what Stellar Babe is up to by alluding to Automata aesthetically, maybe something reactionary that reflects the current political tenor in S. Korea, maybe something ultimately incoherent, maybe just co-opting out of fascination with the pornographic irony of a saleable product. Whatever the case, it won't be long now before goons discover why she wears a tiny necktie.

That necktie is like the least confusing flourish among all of her outfits.

It bothers me too, but I can’t quite figure out why I’m less okay with it than the Automata outfits. I guess maybe Automata was just more consistent with its Victorian goth shtick.

This is the perfect way of expressing what I dislike about a lot of action game systems. Thank you.

it’s because the character designs in Nier didnt just have sex appeal but we’re also good and visually striking and communicates the game’s themes and tone

Very excited to play Stellar Blade, just wish midnight wasn't so late to stay up to play. Probably will only be able to play tomorrow. Hoping there is a guide for all the outfits at launch, so I can be sure to grab em all. A lot of the previews making me jealous of Eve's wardrobe.

Ugh, I'm struggling to figure out what I should play next. I can't afford Dragon's Dogma II at the moment, so that's out, but between Game Pass and PS Plus Extra I've got Harold Halibut and Tales of Kenzara: ZAU, I've got Alan Wake II which I still need to play, and I also have Armored Core VI which I still haven't gotten to. I just played SotN so I probably don't want to go right back into another Metroidvania, so I'll ignore Kenzara, but I dunno about the rest. I also still haven't finished Trails into Reverie and Daybreak is coming out in June, so I need to play that and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I don't think I am understanding Armoured Core or I'm just very bad.

Pretty stuck on the first boss level with Baltheus. I got him to like half health a couple times but even slogging back through the level to get back to him on a game over is really tough. Any recommended LPs or something so I can see how I'm supposed to be even approaching this?

Feels like I'm playing Sekiro but with souls strategy, or something along those lines, where my play is just fundamentally out of line with what the game expects of me.

But I mean, I'm boosting, I'm jumping, I'm locking on, I'm shooting, what more do you want from me here

There are some cool bits about Fallout 4.

The atmosphere is pretty well done in a lot of parts.
