Social Caterpillar is 20% or the next few days, which is a steal on a 5 USD price tag

And if you haven't already, leaving a review takes ZERO Social Battery :D

@fool_berry I also don't think YIIK expresses details clearly (the exact year 2016, the cyclical nature of NG+, etc.), but I think that works intentionally within this postmoderny genre. What makes YIIK have its vibe and feel is the lack of clarity most games/genres offer, imo

[Lan 'Merlandese' Neely III @Merlandese]

@fool_berry There's a lot to say on this type of subject imo, bigger than a tweet lol but yeah I do think the game has been dogpiled so much that I would take no offense if the devs were more sensitive to "real" criticism than is expected, especially pre-update.

Hope you enjoy my take on this beautiful piece by maestro Uematsu, song requested by Axile Salamandra :)

Added a Color Assist option to Social Caterpillar!

Hopefully this will help people visualize some of the trickier puzzles. :)

There isn't a single SaGa game that is good out the gate

You load it up, you get excited, and then it's weird, and you either fall off or give it the 700 hours it deserves to bake to perfection

Relationship idea: Every anniversary you are shown three random marriage upgrades and you get to choose one

gamers who want understandable English but have an aural preference for hearing Japanese are at constant war with everything they play

@twicrates I prefer the obsession with collecting experiences over collecting funkos

It's very nice to see Social Caterpillar in Sl1ppey's indie round-up!

[Lan 'Merlandese' Neely III @Merlandese]

@browndwarf6 KRZ deserves much more love, what a brilliant game

Social butterfly? I’m not even a social caterpillar.

I really enjoyed Quartet!

I couldn't help but muse over the world-building philosophies it presents, so now I have a stupidly long write-up about it lol

It's a great game with thoughtful writing! Check it out!

@ZeldaZealot It puts her in touch with her spirit, which is a strength established alongside the loss of the other spirits in Book 2: Spirits

The conflict of that season was that she had access to old spirits but not her own. Now she has access to her own but not old ones

people online will be like "WHOA that's just like Pickle Sandwich Theory from TikTok!" and it's just the idea that you cry when you're sad

This isn't a rag on Mike, it's more of a sigh of frustration at the media landscape

People will recoil at anything you teach in an English Literature class on principle, then spend half of their life learning the stuff they could have learned in high school

[Lan 'Merlandese' Neely III @Merlandese]

in Red Letter Media's Voyager look-back, Mike "discovers" thematic foreshadowing and declares it to be a Star Trek staple which he coins the Soup Scene

This is a thing that people reject when taught in English Lit, but are fine rediscovering in a sci-fi show
