The main character is Utena Tenjou, a tomboyish teenage girl who was so impressed by a kind prince in her childhood that she decided to become a prince herself, expressed in her manner of dress and personality. She attends Ohtori Academy, where she meets a student named Anthy Himemiya, a girl who is in an abusive relationship with another student. Utena fights to protect Anthy and is pulled into a series of sword duels with the members of the Student Council. Anthy is referred to as the "Rose Bride" (薔薇の花嫁 Bara no hanayome) and is given to the winner of each duel. It is said that the winner of the tournament will receive a mysterious "power to revolutionize the world", and the current champion is constantly challenged for the right to possess the Rose Bride.

    @winky

    There are a lot of audio-only games. Blindside and A Blind Legend are two examples.

    Also, there's a whole sub-field of game development around Alexa, Echo, and other voice assistant platforms. Most Alexa games are party and trivia games, but they also have a lot of adventure games (think Zork, but with dictation).

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    One interesting fact I learned from Get Lamp: A Documentary About Adventures in Text is that interactive fiction is fairly blind-friendly because it can be played with screen readers

    draw jagged peaks of hair on top of it

    draw a tiny triangle for a nose

    I actually wish night in games like BotW were darker. I can barely tell it's night, except for skeletons existing. It'd be nice if it was hard to see more than a few dozen feet, or at least looked darker than, like, a cloudy day in real life.

    One of my students needed to get something from the lab today, and as we started walking, said "man, I had a rough weekend. I saw Avengers and then watched Game of Thrones and it was all intense."

    So I told him I also had a rough weekend, since I spent it in the south pretending my wife was my sister.

    Checkmate, student.

    ehhhh from a game play perspective that sounds kind of horrible

    almost as annoying as the randomly generated rainstorms that suddenly made it impossible to climb anything

    that always happened over a thing you needed to climb

    You could easily darken it a ton without it actually affecting vision too much, or change it in options. It just makes it feel less immersive. The game is great overall, and turning off the HUD makes it even better because you never know what's around the river bend, but with night not really being a thing it loses a bit of that.

    Well chanus's were more cave paintings on a wall that later scholars still aren't sure about, but yes it was anime.

    there's a skyrim mod that makes the nights like super realistic dark for a place at night with no light source other than moonlight

    it's so cool

    If I have to see this stupid meme, somehow I've seen only posted by women on facebook, about how "women should stop trying to prove they can do everything men can do, because women were created to do everything a man can't" or some dumb shit, I will literally start to bleed out of my eyes.

    I can't believe how much people can internalize sexist garbage like that just because it has a thin veneer of telling you you're super special.

    I imagine the people who's photos have been meme co-opted for garbage memes must be super pissed.

    They were just talking on NPR about how Marsha Brady was being used to pimp antivaxx nonsense and she was super mad about it.

    I installed Darker Nights for both Skyrim and FO4 and deleted/adjusted it every time

    Conceptually it's great but gameplay mechanics-wise nothing else in the game is calibrated for the darkness on top of it being super frustrating and garbo

    well i play a wood elf so i see fine

    also that matters significantly less than it did in 1999

    not everything is 100% true to classic

  • PreacherPreacher Registered User regular
    Yeah like "realistic" lighting makes for some awesome screen shots, but awful gameplay. I mean yeah night shouldn't just be a sky palette swap, but I'd take a sky palette swap over "Ok now I can't see shit and this game apparently doesn't understand what a light source is"

    Its madness that all the tacticool shit you can add to a gun in Division 2 doesn't include a fucking flaslight

    i think it had a slider for it if you install using a mod manager to make it not too bad
    also just like everything in skyrim you can make it where ambient lights like lanterns actually light up areas decently and where carrying a torch is actually helpful

    realistic lighting would be great if there were more than like 4 games that actually made lighting tactical

    back a hundred years ago when i actually played skyrim it was like five separate mods for varying levels of darkness

    they might have improved upon the concept later
