Message: [QUOTE="gekiganwing, post: 37061, member: 131018"] Looking at my PS Vita cartridges, I can call three of them "nonsense that I like." [I]Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax[/I], a multi-crossover fighting game with characters that originated from books. [I]Arcana Heart 3[/I], which is similar but not based on any IP. [I]Persona 4[/I], which is one of my favorite console RPGs, even though I know it's flawed. I spent dozens of hours enjoying [I]Lumines [/I]and [I]Stardew Valley[/I] on the Vita. The console helped me get into [I]Thomas was Alone, [/I]and a touchscreen edition of[I] Lemmings.[/I] My experience with [I]Code Realize[/I] could've been better, but it's a visual novel that I respect. It's amusing and absurd, but it has an external conflict, and it discusses difficult topics. It doesn't apologize for its female gaze, or its shoujo demographic storytelling. I also bought the otome game [I]Amnesia Memories[/I], but I wasn't sure whether I liked it. All this reminds me of an attitude I had around 1996 -- a time when I might have said "I don't care for Marvel and DC Comics. I read [I]Bone[/I], and [I]Thieves and Kings[/I]." Likewise, I had a dismissive attitude around 2003. I was a recent college graduate who was reluctant to admit liking [I]Naruto, [/I]since I'd already read the Kaiji Kawaguchi series[I] Eagle.[/I] I should have reminded myself that it's all comics, mostly noticed by fellow nerds.
