When I was a young girl, seeing female protagonists kick ass was always something I loved! (Her being Asian like me was a bonus.) I’m sure there is a healthy dose of nostalgia there.
I'll say, I also really love women kicking ass in my media. I remember loving Winx Club, Code Lyoko, W.I.T.C.H, and Kim Possible as a kid, especially Shego (I really loved Shego).
Mulan marries Shan Yu.
Mulan marries Li Shang! I also confuse their names sometimes... I had to look it up just to make sure. Shan Yu is the Hun main villain... It would've been really cool if Mulan married him, though, I wonder what would've had to happen for that turn of events to occur.
They're both fruits, they're even rather similar in shape, and their season is at about the same time. They're often consumed in similar ways and in similar circumstances... I feel like it's a very reasonable comparison.
By the way, I love apples and strongly dislike pears.
I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade here. I love games too, they're great! I'm just saying that I really don't like - or, rather, really don't get - story-driven games like BG3, and think books would've been a better medium to tell that story is all.
I really don't like pear pie, and think apple pie would be a better dessert.
Well, yeah, that makes sense! I also like games, mostly puzzle games like Portal. I also really like this roguelike called DCSS.
I’ve heard of you like reading, you’d like Disco Elysium, then game made of reading.
I haven't played DE myself, but I did watch basically a full playthrough... While the playthrough was enjoyable (mostly because of the streamer), I found the game to be rather bad. The story was interesting, the art was amazing, but I just kept thinking that it was a horrible thing to play. Why play that, when I could've read that instead, you know? Or just watched it instead, really.
I liked Baldurs Gate 3 cause it was like playing a tabletop rpg but by myself so I’m only let down by my own rolls and the other players can’t try to seduce everyone.
I really like the concept of TTRPGs, and the prospect of the other players constantly trying to seduce others seems rather unsavory... I've heard of that happening before, but is that really the expectation when joining a TTRPG group, like a D&D group, for example?
Still, when you put it like that - it's like playing a TTRPG by yourself - it does sound a little more palatable.
A marvelous tale of bravery, indeed! To venture into the call of nature and face the dreadful end of such a beloved instance... I envy only your courage, not your fate, dear friend.
OK, no, because I'm a huge cheese strategist. Feta and gorgonzola haunt my waking mind like specters of gastronomical pleasure, wraiths of fermented delight.
