Re: Poll: Monster Hunter Rise Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?

@XCWarrior thanks! I’m really proud of her, I was like a Nintendo Bean Dad and before we bought the switch we did some play together on SNES, GC and Wii to get her familiar with games and how to play. She’s never beat Lt. Surge in Let’s Go, Pikachu even though we got it opening weekend, because she likes to walk around and play. She’s only ever logged 3 kills in Fortnite, because she likes to use her pickaxe then build and hide.

I don’t push her to beat games, which sometimes backfires as we’re playing through 3D World and she’ll wander off while I’m lining up a ground pound and change the camera angle and get me killed and go OH WHOOPS

Does anyone have any suggestions if a 6 year old could enjoy this?

(She’s played a hand at Dark Souls with minor success, beat Kirby, Odyssey, Sunshine, and 3 temples in Link’s Awakening - language isn’t an issue for us but overly horrifying gore can be - she’s not scared of Dark Souls bosses but had nightmares from the cystipigs in Outer Worlds)

@KateGray interesting, you found desire in the two people who feel as though they are isolated from the community due to their non-traditional artistic leanings (Leah being a transplant who sculpts beautifully, lives in a fairy tale cottage on the outskirts. Sebastian as a sushi loving basement dwelling white hat who dreams of motorcycle nights in the big city to escape a well meaning but overly traditional stepfather).

Both people wish to be saved from a controlling aspect of their lives, whether an ex or their parents, but still find small pockets of trusted friends in their community to survive day to day and never give up on their inspirations even without overt support from the usual places.

That reads you as someone who feel appreciation and love for those who recognize your uniquities (fake word that just makes sense) as a strength of character and not flawed individualism, and a wish to show other people that their traits can be loved.

Also, since you mainly picked Leah because she’s cute and never sealed the deal with Sebastian, you got a little “hot girl summer” vibes, at least when dealing with role-playing fake people.

All in all, your video game character analysis is:

“Empathic dreamer who kept their chrysalis in a box even though they don’t miss being in it at all”
