'Tis good to be awake
Feb. 4th, 2026 05:17 amFinished base Shadowbringers, once again. Goodness it's so peak. Ryne breaking away from her fated life of passivity, choosing to fight for herself, much the reflection of stasis in light and activity in darkness... Emet-Selch being the only villain to get down onto your level, repeatedly, over eons, and you were the sundered's last chance and he still found you wanting. How he has spent millennia wanting to get back someone who sacrificed themselves and that sticks in the weave when he makes for himself his memory of a city. A city that is vast and beautiful and haunting and then he shows you it being destroyed. That you cannot be stewards to a star plagued by something that they in their infinite wisdom did not understand. That he misses and grieves the fractured soul of the one he was told to forget... only for you to have been in front of him this whole time. The loneliness, the grief almost destroyed him. He brought his all to bear against you... and lost. There's no fanfare on his defeat, because you understand the lengths he would go to to save the world completely, as you have likewise done the same. Greatest villain of all time.
And G'raha's yearning and the soft smiles between him and the wol in the moments after when he picks up the mantle of narrator, man, no wonder I folded. He is in love with the ideal of you but has come to know you again yourself and I cry, I cry so much. I love a catboy.
I don't know if I'll go into Endwalker right away with Khlip, I might break with a different game first and then come back to it, but my plan is to play through to 5.3 at least for maximum catboy feelings - before that I need to do Cylva's quest tomorrow so I can have her for the inn scene. I'm also going to get nier and probably Eden up, though the prior is priority. Nier glam is simply too good.
I did have to take a break over the weekend for drives in Overwatch so finishing SHB was a little belated after doing Amaurot - drives started a day later than usual (Friday instead of Thursday) which meant I had to face the weekend crowd and it was the epitome of hell. Friday I made it through three tiers easily enough, Saturday I watched my score be twenty away from the threshold three times and it was so gruelling, I've never had it so bad before 💀 I spent nine continuous hours at just that one tier rip. It's done, though! And best of all I at least reached my six month long gold weapon's for all women competitive points grind with one to spare, so next week I'll pick those up.
As for the spare... we're getting a spotlight tomorrow of what's to come in the next year (harrowing, anxiety laden experience) so we'll see how many women get revealed as heroes for the roster, if any. My wishes for heroes are almost entirely omnics atp but there have been feelers for precisely none of them so I don't hold out much hope. Give! Robots!! Put!!! Max!! In!!! The game!!!!
"But Rems he's an accountant not a fighter" I DONT CARE he owns a casino though he's not allowed to gamble and is set up in Monaco, give him shit with cards and suits and luck and probability and calling in hits, he's the longest standing lore hero that isn't in the game at this point. He has a voice! He has recorded lines! He's the most intriguing of the lot as he modified himself to be more palatable to humans, so he blinks, he does idle motions with his hands, give me Max.
And also Bars. I want Ashe's second ok. And Luna. I'm going to make a songstress work somewhere ok.
Otherwise my wishes are fairly basic: I want Ashe lore, I want old battlepass content made available for Ashe cosmetics, and I want new maps. But I'm worried about all the change-ups they're going to put in for no real reason again, especially when this season was already a mess thanks to the aim assist being shoehorned in that will finally be reverted next week, just in time for whatever else they do... weeps.
I'm also wary of Vendetta and what they're doing with her as they're pushing her extremely hard, and after a whole season of it I figured out that my problem with is it's all set up right now with no pay off (yet).
