The best-worst game I've ever played.
I originally tried beating this last year around the time Xenoblade 3 was announced but I stopped fairly quickly due to me just not really having that much fun. I didn't really understand the mechanics and everything felt like a slog to get through. I shelved the game, but I was pretty sad I didn't really like it. Fast forward a year and a half later one of my friends is in the middle of marathoning the entire Xenoblade franchise, and that inspired me to give this game another try (along with Future Connected in XCDE, which I never got around to finishing either). I learned some tricks on how to make combat less of a nuisance and took some time to understand more of the mechanics and from there I just had a lot more fun. I can happily say I like this game and I don't know if there's one piece of media I'm happy my opinion has changed on more. There's a ton of bullshit in this game, I can't and won't deny that, but I just had a ton of fun and I'm so happy I gave it another chance. Thanks @undertale2enjoye ik you don't really use this website that often but I figured i'd shout you out anyway.
I can't wait to play Xenoblade 3 you don't even know

Signalis
2022
i have never felt an emptiness so comforting, disgust and depression and darkness so effortless in their omniscience. they carved their pneumatics and sonics into my senses, strangling my amygdalae with hooks and barbs of indiscriminate love.
i can only recount my experience in broad, emotional strokes- as if to make sure i never forget the decisive futility of it all, i browsed the final screenshots from my first playthrough as my brain finally caught up to my heart, demanding release. i withered and cried in mourning of people and places who don't exist. i felt cradled and blessed in that moment, and i wasn't sure if i deserved to know such divine clarity.
signalis bore holes deep into my flesh and bone of blackest nightmares, of the loudest louds and a thousand, thousand deaths and rebirths consuming my synapses with the wisdom and light of infinite sorrows, a kindness i fear i will never be able to repay for as long as i live. it is one of the most beautiful pieces of human creation i have ever endured, and its memory will persist long after i am nothing but ash and dust.
