Waypoint+ |OT| "Fuck Capitalism, Go Home"
- Thread starter Mezentine
- Start date
This is the weirdest game of Fuck, Marry, Kill I've ever played.
On the subject of weird Evangelion-related stuff, this R&B/New Jack Swing remix album from the composer is full of bangers despite the extremely corny raps (all the Mali credited songs).
Like I'm pretty sure this all started because Rob talked about BA on waypoints once and I was already on the BA train so I do the thing I do where I find a crack and start pushing it as hard as I can.
boy I hope Austin says something about the bullshit re: same sex relationships in the new fire emblem cuz wow is it some bullshit
well, as far as I know there's no drugging to turn queer people straight in this one
so that's progress
I haven't finished it yet and haven't seen anything other than what characters have S ranks available. Can you link me to something here?
There's discussion in the spoiler thread, but more concentrated talk here: https://www.resetera.com/threads/it...ot-acceptable-support-spoilers.122922/page-10
take a look through this thread, specifically the last few pages
basically MLM are getting a single option once again (while WLW are getting a couple options at least) and, while said option can potentially end up with another male character, the game goes out of its way to be as vague as possible if that happens
it sucks and I can't bring myself to buy this game anymore
So I know we're a few episodes away from it but I love
the bit with all of humanity screaming as they're turned into uterine fluid while a bunch of energy crosses manifest over the hotspots of life lost. It's some really good stuff.
I hope they recognize just how effed up that moment is for several billion people.

The song that plays during that sequence is great too. Especially the text.
Yep. I dunno, maybe it's morbid, but I always enjoy a massive loss of life in media sort of just for its scale and intensity. When it can make a dark pit appear in the bottom of my stomach, that's some good shit. Spec Ops: The Line and Devilman Crybaby are things I'm going to treasure for a long time because of that.
Isn't the implication is that they totally could just get back to normal, it's just that nobody really wants to.
Sure but they didn't know that when they were screaming bloody murder as they were turned into orange goop. Look at the control room's reactions for example.
Like imagine that you were just doing your shit at 3PM and suddenly a bunch of naked blue-haired teenagers showed up and embraced a bunch of people around you who turned into TANG and then turned to you a split second later, hands reaching out. How would you react?
Edit: Also I clearly watched this out of order because DD came out eight years after End of Evangelion but Komm Susser Tod sounds like a B-side from Gorillaz' Demon Days album. That could totally have fit between Don't Get Lost in Heaven and Demon Days on the album.
Edit2: If we really stretch this concept out like a third of the world would be asleep when they got gooped. Probably the Americas. Like, you go to sleep after having a good night of watching Frasier and drinking some wine and then it's 4 AM and suddenly you're shaken awake just to become some milky Orangina. What a thing that is.

After that sequence plays out, that's how i understood it too. Though i'd say we just aren't shown other perspectives, rather than no one else wanting to come back.
The original English commentary on EoE points out that the
screams are ambiguous about whether they're screams of terror or screams of ecstasy. You see that even from the range of reactions from Fuyutsuki and the bridge bunnies.
Despite my critique/distaste of Evangelion as a whole, End of Eva is some peek existential horror.
It probably wouldn't be as horrific if you didn't see people who clearly are mortified by what's going on. I forget her name but the lady on the laptop when she gets tang'd was deeply upsetting to watch.
Spec Ops is great and I love it for being such a downspiral into misery. Don't know why it resonated with me so much and Evangelion didn't. Probably being a game and me partaking in the events and Walker's degradation and ruining probably did more for me than just watching Shinji and company deal with their issues.
And letting me have a weird unhealthy? suicide outlet at the end of Spec Ops probably makes it hit really hard for me.
Really? I had interpreted
Maya's personal Rei as ecstacy for seeing a vision of Ritsuko return her unrequited love.
Firstly, lmao, bridge bunnies. Cute name.
Secondly, I guess my read on that was bleaker, but that's kinda par for the course with me at this point. Hell I still find the original series ending to be only sarcastically positive and actually really sad, so I guess that puts me at odds with most people.
Calling Maya, Aoba, and Hyuga bridge bunnies falls in a proud tradition dating back to the Robotech bridge bunnies, which is where I first encountered the term.
The Spotify description for Waypoint Radio seems inaccurate.
I have never once heard them unfairly compare anything (let alone everything) to Dark Souls.

Oh, good catch. If it was an Evacast I haven't heard 'em yet.

My Roommate is a Cat is the Dark Souls of anime.
