So... Lately I Sorta, Kinda Gained Some Interest In The Shin Megami Tensei Series After Watching A Livestream

So... lately I sorta, kinda gained some interest in the Shin Megami Tensei series after watching a livestream playthrough of SMT 3 Nocturne. It was fun being there to watch and interact when I could. The playthrough featured the ability to recruit Dante from the Devil May Cry series, so it kinda got me thinking of other crossovers.

First up is the idea of Darksiders crossover: Darksiders' Four Horsemen could arguably fit pretty well, considering SMT has its own version of the Four. Also, it would be pretty cool if we could see how Death, War, Fury, and Strife could work in an RPG setting.

Next up, Hades: Zagreus and company would be so interesting to see crossover. Maybe Zag could be someone like Demi-Fiend, where he's got both human and non-human parts to him and thus is a strange mix.

Curse of the Dead Gods: Imagine someone like the Demi-Fiend or Nahobino just encountering Caradog McCallister. The old guy already has his hands full in the temple, so imagine him making out and finding out the world went to shit or something and just deciding to wander because of that. He could probably be a real interesting optional boss fight.

Overall, I think I had fun with some of these ideas. You think the crossovers could work or nah? Got any other ideas for crossovers?

Since it has been on my mind again, I want to talk about maybe another idea that could have been cool to see Riot Forge try out: a game set in ancient Shurima that focuses on the story of the Ascended versus the Void, or how the Darkin would become the Darkin. Or something that does both?

It could maybe something like the Civilization series of games, or maybe something like what I've seen of Marvel's Midnight Suns. Now that I think about, a smaller version of Midnight Suns would probably be a good idea for a game set around the Ascended versus the Void. I have heard that Midnight Suns is like XCOM, a game I have never played, so maybe whoever it was that Riot Forge could have hypothetically gotten for the game could pull off a 2D version of that gameplay.

Kinda wish I had more to say, but the ideas are not popping in my head all that easily. I do think it would be cool to get more of an idea on the Darkin before they were the Darkin, so who knows, maybe Riot themselves will give the idea a try one day.

Fighting through the Temple of Wonder and Pain was harder than the Demi-Fiend thought. The monsters that called this place home were some of the toughest he's come across in a while, but he's made it to the final chamber. The chamber where the final challenge stood. The Champion of Xbeltz'aloc. Caradog McCallister.

Caradog had fought through this temple, defeated all the monsters needed, had chosen to step up and help keep the Gods of Wonder imprisoned. Now the True Demon stood before him. Looking to get his help in taking down the Great Will. First the Demi-Fiend would have to prove himself.

Outside the temple stood Death. He had attempted going in after the Demi-Fiend, only to be stopped by the door slamming shut in front of him. No amount of physical or magical might would let him open the damn thing. It was frustrating for the Pale Rider to say the least. He had no doubt the Demi-Fiend could handle himself against whatever lay inside the temple, but that boy was still young, and even if he has the title of True Demon, he hoped that boy still had some tiny sliver of humanity.

It was a battle to the end. Shockwaves flew as they clashed. The True Demon versus Champion of Xbeltz'aloc. Only one could win. Unfortunately for the Demi-Fiend, despite his triumph, he could not convince Caradog. The man has given up his life outside to keep the Gods of Wonder imprisoned, and unless they are no longer exist, there is little to no chance of the old man leaving. He would allow the Demi-Fiend to leave however.

Stepping outside into the world, the source of light had dimmed, now the stillness of night very apparent. Death had since left. Walking down the steps, the True Demon thought to himself. Thought about where to go next with his plans to take down the Great Will.

I'm not the biggest fan of this band, I have not listened to everything by them, but I will say I do really like this song. It's a fun, energetic song that is a great time. Don't got much more to say beyond, if you give it a listen, I hope you enjoy.

So... lately I have been having plenty of some fun playing LoL Wild Rift. It's a fun time... for the most part. Hope you all don't mind me venting a bit about the game. Or I guess more like just speaking my thoughts about some of what I find more annoying about it. In particular, Master Yi.

Master Yi... looks ridiculous, but that's not exactly what I want to talk about. It's about the utter ridiculousness of how much of a challenge he is. The dude is killing machine and so hard to defeat. I, as a player, have only killed him a very small handful of times. In my opinion, he's more annoying to fight than Teemo, fucking Teemo, just because he's got his stupid ass ability that makes him invulnerable.

Occasionally, I have looked at stuff around online, the least helpful being obviously Reddit, for just some help on maybe being able to take down the fucker. All Reddit fucking gives is "CC him" or "Invade his jungle early." You know, stuff that can be really hard to do if shit is just not going your way. Also, don't even think of giving me crap about this, I play this game casually, for fun. I can't have as much fun as I'd like if the cocaine samurai, as I saw someone call him once, is just constantly wreaking havoc on me and/or my teammates.

All this is probably not helped by how often I see Master Yi being played compared to other Junglers. The dude is just so good at clearing his jungle and taking down enemies that I see him very often in matches. Specifically PVP matches, I somewhat surprisingly don't see him in ARAM all that much. Then again, it is ARAM, and in ARAM I rarely get Champions that I play as in PVP.

I guess that’s all. You know, felt good to say this shit. To speak my mind about this stuff. I doubt I'll do more posts like this. Anyways! Hope anybody who reads this has a great day!
