13 Sentinels is a JRPG released in 2020 for the PS4 and 2022 for the Switch. It was developed by Vanillaware and produced by Atlus. The game follows 13 characters using sentinels (mechs) to defend the planet from being destroyed by an unknown force. It's split between side scrolling story segments and real time strategy combat.
The story takes place in different periods of time in a nonlinear structure. You gradually unlock more characters as you go, showing different perspectives on events you've already seen and expanding on previous dead ends. The story is really best experienced with as little information as possible, so I'll be purposefully vague here. There are many twists as it goes and some are pretty shocking.
The gameplay plays out in real time combat against waves of enemies. There are four different types of sentinels and you can usually choose whoever you want in your party for each mission. You can customize the sentinels in terms of abilities and stat points, so there are many ways to approach fights. You're graded by damage taken, damage prevented from the city, and time taken. The points you earn from a higher grade in battle can be used to unlock archive entries that compile plot points for reference. There are a lot of names and parts of the story to remember throughout the game, so this is actually more helpful than it sounds. A highlight for me personally, is all of the voice lines for each combination of pilot you can have in your party. Having the characters communicating (yelling) at each other as the intensity builds is a nice touch.
It's too bad it's not out for PC, but I recommend it for JRPG fans and fans of (general plot theme spoilers)
time travel and generally weird distortion over time.

r/AssholeDesign is a fascinating subreddit because it's a nigh-endless catalog of capitalist profit-squeezing but nobody actually names capitalism as the problem
Moving out of my shitty apartment today :meow-bounce:
New apartment is way bigger and nicer, and in the same neighborhood as the old one, and it's the same price as the old one :meow-bounce:
Going on a two-week long vacation starting tomorrow:meow-bounce:
The coworker I hate the most is going on vacation as soon as I get back from vacation, meaning I won't have to see her at all until the 29th :meow-bounce:
Death to America
New mega! :mao-wave:

@TheSpectreOfGay @ThisMachinePostsHog @Trouble @ultraviolet @UlyssesT @Venustum @viva_la_juche @WIIHAPPYFEW @Wmill @wtypstanaccount04 @Yanqui_UXO @ZoiftThe Switch has so many underrated games. Reminds me of the Wii getting shit for "being a toy" despite having so many quality games that you had to look for.
The funniest response to criticism of the people who chose to partake in the US military is when people are like "yeah they murdered in the name of US imperialism but they did it for their personal gain and not for the US" like how would that make it better lmfao
I just found a 55 inch flatscreen TV in the trash :party-blob:
Bit idea: grants for terminally ill people that provide them with a gun and the address of the health care executives profitting from their medical debt.
Good morning :meow-coffee:
I'd like to inform everyone that I am vey sleepy and cute today
:niko-wonderous: me when the RPG I started playing has nonbinary as a gender option and the character sprites you can choose are independent of gender. In a game that started development in 2012. The industry has no excuse for not having diverse casts
I decided to listen to Biden's speech, because my phone told me he was giving one and I thought maybe it would be funny. It wasn't. Biden goes "I will oppose MAGA republicans with every fiber of my being," and then proposes no concrete way he will manifest that other than encouraging people to vote.
I also thought it was funny he denounced political violence, saying it was not part of the soul of this nation, while he stood before independence hall.
I just spent the last three hours having to give witness testimony to the police because my brother gave a sexpat a concussion. The guy grabbed my sisters ass and said "sexy mami." My brother then grabbed the guys head and threw it so hard into a brick wall that I saw two of his teeth fall out as he started to convulse. Three hours later and my brother gets off free while the sexpat ended up staying in jail because the police found ecstasy on him. It's never boring over here lmao
many years ago on a rando tf2 server I ran into someone who figured out how to auto-tune their mic. I asked them how they did it and they sung "I don't even knoooowwww" at me
There's something about cute guys. I can't put my finger on it
