sigh It isn't easy being both a Dragon Age fan on Linux.
Especially when the only established female protagonist in first-party Nintendo games is Samus. I feel like Zelda has gone far enough into the open-world RPG format that it's time to retire Link and let people make their own characters. (Maybe with options to easily recreate Link in the character creator if they so choose.)
Persona 4 was difficult for me to play. There's Naoto like you mentioned, but Kanji realizing he isn't actually queer at the end of his social link felt like a huge bait and switch.
I know a lot of people love Persona 4 and will say that Naoto was never meant to be trans (and instead plays with masculinity to be taken seriously as a woman in her professional field) and Kanji was never meant to be gay (and instead has a feminine side and that's okay), but I don't think we're "just reading into things," right? If Kanji was never meant to be gay, I'm not sure why the writers felt the need to make his dungeon a gay bathhouse. Write something more relevant to his journey about being a gender-nonconforming man instead?
But I do think the arcs we got with Naoto and Kanji related to gender nonconformity are worthwhile, and it's great if people find that meaningful. I just wish they could have written that without the queerbaiting.
My girlfriend and I are playing Pokemon Scarlet and Violet together. I've always wanted to play co-op in a Pokemon game with another person so I'm glad that feature is finally available ^^
I started Dragon Age Inquistion, a game I love but the massive amount of MMO sidequests gives me intense burnout so I've never finished it.
This time I'm taking note of every side quest worth playing and the ones I can skip on future playthroughs. Using my OCD brain to save so much time in the future ^^
