  • Endings can kinda get to me. Not the end of a show necessarily, but the end of a story. It often happens at the end of a show, but not always. The best example that comes to mind is actually a video game called Season letters to Tomorrow (or something like that). Without spoilers you leave your home and it’s as sad as it is uplifting, and then you document the last day of a town before it’s destroyed. There are other endings that you get to document too, big and small, and all of them are framed as emotionally complex.

    I think I’m just a nostalgic person, because ancient ruins and stories in that context also get me. Girls front line was sad long before the ending! Maybe it’s because i was born in the late 90s and i saw the world getting better before it started getting worse.









  • I stand firm in the belief that the only sorta good Pokemon games are gen 4 and the originals, and even then it is a ‘good for their time’ kinda deal. The originals are highly flawed and i would never recommend anyone actually play them, but they did at least attempt to design an actual game. Gen 4 was the first generation that could be considered actually good mechanically and aesthetically, imo. After gen 4 the games almost universally stagnated where they didn’t actively get worse.
