    The desert temple and the jungle area are too tedious even if they are as quality as the rest of the game. The story ending in the DLC was ass and didn’t resolve some things that needed to imo, mainly:

    spoiler

    Sidwell’s fate

    Rabi-Ribi

    I can tolerate the fanservice because I have terminal weeb brainrot since childhood, but I can’t recommend the game to anyone else even though it is a great metroidvania with awesome bossfights and music.

    ZeroRanger

    (endgame spoilers for ZeroRanger and Void Stranger)

    The save-deleting gamble near the end of the game fits perfectly with the buddhism theme, as it symbolizes surrendering your earthly attachments to achieve enlightenment, however I feel it violates some fundamental game design sanity rule. This might be a me issue honestly, because due to ADHD I get frustrated with repetition easily. Doing it again in Void Stranger was inexcusable though, it didn’t enhance the value of the game as art in any way and seemed as something the dev did to be quirky.

    Breath of the Wild

    It would have been a perfect game I could play forever if it had bigger dungeons and more than 10 enemy types.











  • I always wondered why my parents had such mid taste as I grew up, but when I found their old records I understood. They weren’t always like that, when they were young, they had their favs but work and children changed everything. Now I understand this from experience as well, I don’t find as many hidden gem songs, anime, games etc anymore, I just don’t have the time and energy and stick to what I know. I also suspect that this is one of the reasons why older people have old beliefs, they just don’t have the time to think about things. This effect honestly scares me, I can already feel that I am much more boring than 8 months before, and I don’t have the time to follow the news, read theory and essays, and experience some peak media like I did before. I only feel like my old, cooler self on drugs, I hate this
