I imagined this being delivered by Twin Peaks Michael Cera

Extreme energy

It's alright, auntie, lol.

For cottagecore - I think it's the fascist idealization of a past that never really existed. I've never really thought about the connection between cottagecore and solar punk, but I could see both having a twee idealized rural life aesthetic (with solar punk adding a dash of sci-fi)

Forbidden omelette

The gay (band mecha) one:

but these are for the microfigs

It was originally exclusive to those expensive mini SNES emulator consoles, but they eventually dropped it to NSO too. You can also uhhh acquire it very legally on very legal websites :)

Yeah, I had a bit of spoilers from a Remap Radio interview with the developers, but went in otherwise without much knowledge. Even recommending it on the basis of "if you like x, you will probably like StP" feels like a spoiler lol.

I'll at least say that I'm not huge on VNs with romance elements and I liked the game a lot.

Still working through Shadow of the Erdtree. Figuring out a route to some of those weird edges of the map's been tough.

Picked up Slay the Princess, Times & Galaxy and a few other indies on steam sale. StP has been fun - finished two playthrough and might wait until the big content patch coming soon to play more.

Translating stuff from out of context boxes on a spreadsheet is the ideal way to do it, of course.

Bravern is definitely gayer than WfM. I'll admit that Charmuro AMVs may have rotted my brain on that CCA call. Either way, if you liked WfM, you should try Mobile Suit Gundam -> Zeta Gundam -> ZZ -> CCA

Top left: Neon Genesis Evangelion - most people would recommend it, I'd say watch Ideon and Victory Gundam first idk

Top Middle: Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury - decent AU for Gundam, good starting point for the franchise (other than the original show) since it's the big new one

Top Right: Mobile Suit Gundam SEED - it's awful, don't watch unless you really really want to be a Gundam completionist

Bottom Left: Brave Bang Bravern - it's great!

Bottom Middle: Cross Ange - incredibly bad, but it's terrible in a The Room kinda way

Bottom Right: Mobile Suit Gundam Char's Counterattack - fantastic, but it's a sequel movie that has 143 episodes of anime homework to really understand (Mobile Suit Gundam, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, and Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ). Amazing, must watch!

Gay rankings IMO: Bravern, CCA, WfM, Eva, Cross Ange (super queerbait on this one), SEED
