i can forgive the technical limitations and wonky controls but i'm not sure i can forgive the term “THAC0”
@alyssa yes
@coriander disney remake the prequel trilogy cowards
@coriander i feel like "i hate the jedi" kind of stops working as a motivation once… the jedi stop existing…
@coriander no but like
i understand the arc of anakin wanting more power and being frustrated with liberal democracy and betraying them in a way which allowed fascism to take over
but like, there's a difference between that and being an outright fascist who believes in racial superiority and blows up planets because they displease you
prequel anakin is sometimes racist but he doesn't really have THOSE vibes to me and it's not clear where/when/how he gets them
at the end of episode iii palpatine has successfully USED anakin to overthrow the jedi but i'm not convinced he has actually signed on to the empire's ideological program at all; he just hates the jedi
@coriander ok but like… why DID vader turn to the dark side
@coriander how i feel about writing
i mean i still write but it's for an audience of like 5

I’ve had it, Salandit!
this will be the plot of the eventual pokémon game set in germany
I’ve had it, Salandit!
in the pokémon world nobody cares about maintaining the survival of the Teutonic race in central Europe and they certainly wouldn’t wage a disastrous war on two fronts over it
they'd just like try to capture a legendary and then an 11-year-old would show them up and be like “racial nationalism is bad”
@coriander the pokémon-themed birthday party sets really peaked in the late 90s

reading the pinyin is definitely helpful in hearing the tones and getting them correct but on the other hand i do want to be able to read actual chinese
