"Time to say goodbye to my old selfβ¦to turn and face the truthβ¦not to hide from it."
I watched Revolutionary Girl Utena when I was wee and in the closet, and man, this helped spark the questions I needed to break free from the egg of my world. 6w6 <3 I'll always be thankful for Utena and Anthy. πΉπ₯πΉ
It's always easier not to think for oneself. Find a nice safe hierarchy and settle in. Don't make changes, don't risk disapproval, don't upset your syndics. It's always easiest to let yourself be governed.
Nvm found it!!
Not enough people talked about South of Midnight, and maybe that's on me I should post more x.x I haven't played a game that blends call & response, humour, that distinctly Bayou way my grandmother talked. Anyone know where I can snag a collectors edition w/ the art book?
A mistake lmao. I thought the servers were already offline x.x. January 12th is when they cease
What you think about the OST?
This year, any game I played that had a character creator, but didn't have skin tone options, got those darker skin tones modded in. This has been hella empowering! Here's me and my partner's characters in SMT Imagine (the 2004 SMT MMO that was live for 2 years)

Same, finna beat PEAK with my partner
To sum it up:
Sword & Fairy 4 had combat QTEs since 2007.
The remake's art direction is exactly the same since its reveal in Dec 2024.
The combat UI is every modern JRPG ever, from Trails of Cold Steel III to Persona 5 to Star Rail.
Goddamn those sneaky Chinese stealing from the saviors of JRPGs!
Happy New Year!
Watching Holy Flame of the Martial World. The costuming and choreography are off the charts. Also this has some of the silliest acrobatics. Definitely diving into Tony Lou Chun-Ku

GARDENS OF THE MOON IS MY SHIT ππΏ
My bad, I meant no disrespect. I thought you were talking solely about cinema. I misread. Thank you for the references ππΏ
Ah I see! I'd love to dive into older tales. I've only seen Wuxia narratives from 2000s onwards. Do you have any recommendations from before then?
Sammo Hung in Invincible Swordsmen
I think this is why I enjoyed Invincible Swordsmen. Sammo Hung is casted perfectly as one of the Jianghu elders!
It's a white nigga with dreads lmaooo π€£π€£π€£
One of the coldest 3D fighters. Fully kitted Emerl was a MENACE.
Raceplay fetishist garbage film with Israel supporting actors and such a horrid reading on any sort of organized movement. Blaxploitation for the white gaze and revolutionary cosplay.

The #scifi and the #gothic have always been entwined. Chinese ideas of the gothic is its own thing, and has long inspired SF writers in China. I'll be at the Mufant Museum in Turin on 23.11 to talk about how they blend into Chinese genre fiction, and Sinophagia, which is now out in Italian! #books
It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves.
A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it:

For the Shadow of the Colossus story, we interviewed 14 people including project leads Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, hired Gravity Rush concept artist Takeshi Oga to illustrate the cover, and put together a 10,000-word story with help from @milkman.bsky.social @shmuplations.bsky.social and others.
This framing now makes The Alamo Draft houses linking of this game to a series they did on Kurosawa Films (inspired by Ghost of Yotei) felt it should be the other way around though.

Ripley's final act is one of an attempt to regain complete bodily autonomy. I watched all of the alien films last year and Alien 3 stood with me as the most poignant entry on humanity and an incredible synthesis of the true horror in Alien - Weyland-Yutani.
