EY! Which Etrian Odessy is that?

>>16234621
I thought that's Etrian Odyssey for a moment.

>SMT: Strange Journey Redux
Based
>Fanged Noumena
Cringe that completely nullifies the initial basedness.

Yeah we really needed another trannytheory thread

>>16234621
Holy Cow-Herd, Is that Eritrean Odysseus?!?

>>16234632
Read theory

>>16234621
I flipped through that book and decided it was shit and not worth reading.

>>16234621

>>16234632
Land's work doesn't belong into theory though

>>16234621
what are ur pronouns =D

>>16234934
it fits perfectly into the meme shit at the bottom of that chart, quasi-gibberish that starts at Marx and Kant and ends who the fuck knows where, if Land hadn't become a racist he would be quite popular, Fanged Noumena was published just before he publicly turned so there wasn't much time for it to spread. He was already fairly well known anyway.

I've only ever Etrianned, not Strange Journeyed. Felt like the whole demon recruitment shit is something I didn't want to touch again.

oh but it does

"I wiped the blade against my jeans and walked into the bar. It was mid-afternoon, very hot and still. The bar was deserted. I ordered a whiskey. The barman looked at the blood and asked:

‘God?’

‘Yeah.’

‘S’pose it’s time someone finished that hypocritical little punk, always bragging about his old man’s power…’

He smiled crookedly, insinuatingly, a slight nausea shuddered through me. I replied weakly:

‘It was kind of sick, he didn’t fight back or anything, just kept trying to touch me and shit, like one of those dogs that try to fuck your leg. Something in me snapped, the whingeing had ground me down too low. I really hated that sanctimonious little creep.’

‘So you snuffed him?’

‘Yeah, I’ve killed him, knifed the life out of him, once I started I got frenzied, it was an ecstasy, I never knew I could hate so much.’

I felt very calm, slightly light-headed. The whisky tasted good, vaporizing in my throat. We were silent for a few moments. The barman looked at me levelly, the edge of his eyes twitching slightly with anxiety:

There’ll be trouble though, don’tcha think?’

‘I don’t give a shit, the threats are all used up, I just don’t give a shit.’

‘You know what they say about his old man? Ruthless bastard they say. Cruel…’

‘I just hope I’ve hurt him, if he even exists.’

‘Woulden wanna cross him merself,’ he muttered.

I wanted to say ‘yeah, well that’s where we differ’, but the energy for it wasn’t there. The fan rotated languidly, casting spidery shadows across the room. We sat in silence a little longer. The barman broke first:

‘So God’s dead?’

‘If that’s who he was. That fucking kid lied all the time. I just hope it’s true this time.’

The barman worked at one of his teeth with his tongue, uneasily:

‘It’s kindova big crime though, isn’t it? You know how it is, when one of the cops goes down and everything’s dropped ’til they find the guy who did it. I mean, you’re not just breaking a law, your breaking LAW.’

I scraped my finger along my jeans, and suspended it over the bar, so that a thick clot of blood fell down into my whisky, and dissolved. I smiled:

‘Maybe it’s a big crime,’ I mused vaguely ‘but maybe it’s nothing at all…’ ‘…and we have killed him’ writes Nietzsche, but—destituted of community—I crave a little time with him on my own.

In perfect communion I lick the dagger foamed with God’s blood."

I beat A Link to the Past yesterday anon and it did not impress me much at all. I had just come off an OoT 3D playthrough, so maybe that's why, but it just felt so by-the-books. It was fine, and a few of the dungeons were cool, but the overworked, plot, and structure were tired. Maybe it's because I beat BoTW first, and the game would have been really special had I played it before BoTW, but I cant help but wonder at why its so praised. It was just fine, no better or worse than most 2D zelda games.
