@Wretched There's even more! There's a second Yen and Ciri image, too.

I am going to very briefly complain about media transitions: Yennifer looks way too young.

Doesn't she keep herself looking early 20s in the books?

Books? Video games? Media? Then maybe the complaint is she looks in her 30s in the games. Who cares if the show is any good?

Lol. To be clear, I haven't read the books, and I absolutely prefer her looking in her 30s in the video game. I'd love an older actress because, yeah, sue me, I get annoyed at the constant "older male lead and younger female lead" dynamic (even if Yen is obviously way, way older than she looks). But hopefully the actress will have the requisite presence and charisma and they have good chemistry, because in the end, that's what'll make their relationship dynamic fun to watch.

where the first two games are in their own little alternate continuity, the third seems to take place within the book continuity, set right after the final book.)

Wait a minute

hold up

you're saying I can read books and skip the first two games, and just play the good one?

This is like the best news ever.

You can read NO books and skip the first two games and just play the good one. I and plenty of others have done so.

The books are really worth a read, though the English translation is considered lackluster compared to most.

I think I heard a passing mention of new translations recently maybe.

I played the Steam version of Chrono Trigger and thought it looked and sounded gorgeous? I know it didn't look great at first release, but then they came back in with a visual mode for the original pixel look instead of the terrible blurred filter, and it honestly looked gorgeous on a 4k monitor. I didn't notice anything weird about the audio (and I streamed it all, including to a number of long-time CT fans, and nobody mentioned anything sounding weird). It was my first time playing though and just a couple months ago, so there had been time for patches since the initial Steam release.

I streamed crafting a pretty dress for Arx on Twitch today and people came and hung out and it was fun. THAT IS ALL.

@Too-Old-For-This If you get a PS3, you can actually just buy Chrono Cross in the online PS store adn download it onto the PS3.

@Auspice FWIW, my mom had both her knees replaced in the same year (not at the same time) and while it's not fun, of course, she had no complications and her quality of life shot way up after recovery.

i am so tired of job hunting and job rejections that i just want to curl up and cry

@crayon There was a Neverwhere game at SOME point because it was literally what introduced me to Gaiman: I saw a listing for it on Mudconnecter back in my youth and was like, that sounds cool, oh it's based on a book, maybe I'll read it. I read the book, fell in love with Gaiman, and then never played the MU*. It could have been a MUD or a MUSH or something else, I have no memory of those details at this point. But I KNOW IT EXISTED. Because it's the story of how I got into Neil Gaiman's work.

@Auspice You can still watched it subbed on Netflix.

Does the subtitled version still have Fly Me to the Moon?

Nope. Apparently the Netflix Japan version has it, but not the subtitled version in the US. It's clearly a licensing/copyright issue.

(Also, the sub is best anyway. And the Japanese version of the opening theme is something I will still remember when I am old and senile and cannot even recall my own name; it got that deeply ingrained in my brain.)

There's no English version of the opening theme!

@Auspice You can still watched it subbed on Netflix.

@Rinel There aren't really that many versions? There IS a Director's Cut of the last several eps, and I'm not sure if Netflix is including those scenes or not. But it's the 26-episode run of the series and then I THINK the Death and Rebirth and End of Evangelion movies. It's a brand new dubbing of all of it, which is WEIRD for me just because I watched the original US dub so many times and those voices are embedded in my SOUL.

@Ghost I will refrain from spoilers! I think I had two different DVD sets for this at different points, along with VHS for the whole original dub. I wonder if my DVDs still exist. They'd probably be at my parents' house, lol. Apparently they'd be worth a pretty penny now? I didn't even realize until this week. But it was pretty much my favorite anime growing up.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is now on Netflix, redubbed and without licensing for "Fly Me to the Moon" (either as its ending theme or in the places it appears as an instrumental for BG music), and I am having feelings.

@tek I call them RP crushes

@tek oh my god i know that feel SO HARD
