You'd be an Acadian. Sounds like some mythological race.

Et in Acadia ego.

Apparently there's still people who identify as Acadian in the region. You know any? There's an Acadian World Congress every five years.

Acadians are the descendants of french settlers that interbred with the native population (mi'kmaq) and were subsequently ostracized from both communities. The Cajuns are Acadians who left the region during the great expulsion- modern Acadians reside in the southern end of mainland Nova Scotia. I would not be Acadian as I'm third generation Irish on my mothers side and fifth generation English on my father's.

I meant it purely in a denonymic sense, had the name Acadia stuck rather than Nova Scotia.

With regards to the Et in A(r)cadia ego comment: apparently it was actually named for Arcadia. Which isn't that surprising, considering it's only a one letter difference.

What is surprising is: "As an alternate theory, some historians suggest that the name is derived from the indigenous Canadian Miꞌkmaq language, in which Cadie means 'fertile land'." Makes you wonder if some guy had Acadia in mind while crossing the Atlantic or if it was just an association after the word Cadie got mentioned in interactions with natives. Which makes it the second example I found of a placename having a meaning in both the native and colonizer's tongue. Although I forgot what the first one was.

Or it could be like the kangaroo myth. A settler asks "What the hell's that thing?" while pointing at some overgrown rabbit creature. The native says: "Kangaroo." (Translation: "I don't understand you.") Which is bogus.

Sorry, my information was wrong. It was in fact named for The Scorpion King.

Cool. It's a shame that every one of these you find and look into turn out to be horseshit.

Even the ones where people are like "NO BUT WITH THIS ONE IT'S REALLY REAL" and then:

Lake Malawi was called Lake Nyasa by Livingston Eyepresume, which supposedly means Lake Lake because of one of these cock-ups.

Then there's a shitload of those. Glendale. Gobi Desert. So, huh...

so I just beat Drakengard and got all five endings. I feel compelled to force people to scroll past a wall of text about my initial thoughts on it since I did the same for Nier.

story: nowhere near as good as nier but good

characters: unlikable trash but on purpose

gameplay: dogshit

overall experience: completely worth it

inuart is shit I hate him worst best friend ever

caim is shit I love him best mc ever

angelus is best girl and best dragon

furiae is worst sister and second best abomination

leonard is the only character in the game who isn't a detestable perso-oh wait he's a pedophile lmao. nobody else figures this except the fairy he made a pact with, and the fairy thinks his guilt is HILARIOUS. I love that little shit. it takes a while to put it together because the english version downplays that aspect of his character as well as furiae wanting to fuck her brother oops spoilers.

there's an elf in this game who kills and eats children. they dont bother censoring any of that. she joins your party because why not.  she's batfucking crazy and barely exists in the story. I forgot she existed until the end where she gets eaten alive by giant interdimensional babies.

this game is shit it's like garbage dynasty warriors where you sometimes play a garbage dragon based ace combat game that alternates between piss easy and frustratingly difficult. it's so fucking grindy I used cheats to max my character and dragon out halfway through the game and make it so a single kill would max a weapon out. because otherwise you need about 150-200 kills to level them up ONCE. and you only get those weapons by accomplishing various esoteric side goals the game doesn't ever explain that you absolutely need a guide for. the draw distance is shit too. and the way the chapter system work results in a disjointed story, especially after you get the first ending. why cant they just have a new game plus like a normal game? a great deal of things in the game I actually want to understand is never explained and treated as unimportant. it's really obvious this game was made very quickly on a very low budget by crazy people.

this game is great the story is what the fuck the characters are what the fuck the world is what the fuck most of the endings are what the fuck and it rips off evangelion and berserk sometimes which is nice. it's a sword and sorcery romantic medieval fantasy with all the romance sucked dry leaving a gritty child murdering simulator. also burning shit with your dragon is cool. except when he does barely any damage on some enemies even while maxed out, and half the ground enemies reflect dragonfire or magic anyways. this game is SHIT.

the final ending route requires you collect a massive amount of weapons to even see, and the requirements for unlocking them are esoteric at best and complete bullshit at worst. nobody would ever get the final ending without a guide and 12 hours of your life down the drain. I used codebreaker because fuck you cavia and fuck your game. but god damn what a mindfuck, I love that it happened. except the gameplay to the final boss. instead of having anything to do with the rest of the game's gameplay it turns out to be a rythm game with only two notes. which is cute at first, but then you're repeating the first two minutes over and over and over to takea nother go at the last twenty seconds which is fifty notes in rapid succession that even pause-scumming can't make much easier. even after you beat it you get an utter troll ending, but fuck me if I didn't like it. it just feels fitting. but that bossfight though ugh. I hear drakengard 3's final boss pulls the same shit but even worse, even if I had a super beefy gaming computer and not a budget laptop I'm not sure I would subject myself to hookergard 3. drakengard 2 is just a generic jrpg story so I dont care about it, but I like how Caim made good on his promise to make the entire world hate that little girl, even though she isn't possessed anymore. I read up on it after beating the game and apparently he just drags her from city to city telling people "hey see this bitch? she's directly responsible for fucking the world".

really all five endings are memorable except the one where you inexplicably have to fight your dragon, the concept of why the dragons exist could have been a neat idea if they spent more than five minutes fleshing it out before putting this in the game after some guy at a meeting shot out the idea. I think a lot of things in this game were decided by way of "dude what if we did x" "ahahah that's great lets fucking do it" and then they did it.

also why is the imperial capital a magic airship that looks like the independence day saucers with pre-9/11 new york on top of it? HOW is it new york? this is never explained.

also also I like this song

also also also "You Cannot Mount the Dragon Here" hey fuck you

I give it a final score of 10 out of 10 dead children and 6 out of 10 fucks out of you. it's a good game. but it's complete shit that actively hates the player dont play it. even cheatcodes dont fix it. but maybe read this lets play of it I read after beating it. I think that's how slurpee experienced this game and he wasn't wrong to do it that way.  the dialogue this guy adds for Caim and his dragon is hilarious and fits them perfectly. it should be used for a remake of this trashfire.

tldr just play Nier Gestalt

[Slurpee]

gameplay: dogshit

overall experience: completely worth it

it's really obvious this game was made very quickly on a very low budget by crazy people.

hahahaha

drakengard 2 is just a generic jrpg story so I dont care about it,

that's what happens when you take yoko taro out of a yoko taro game =(
my beautiful boy wanted the sequel to be
DRAGONS.
IN.
SPACE.
🔥💯🔥

as much as I like the idea that drakengard 2 is a sequel to ending A, and Nier is a sequel to ending E, there's no denying 2 is just missing his special touch

but maybe read this lets play of it I read after beating it. I think that's how slurpee experienced this game

indeed

[Slurpee]

also
I really really like the idea that nier is a post-apocalyptic setting that takes place after the long long aftermath of when magic was forcibly introduced into our world when

[u2]6OPW-RdzStA[/u2]


a fucking dragon fell out of the sky in tokyo in 2003 and destroyed a giant evil mannequin... then was intercepted by fighter jets and shot down because it's 2003 ,

and the game just doesn't tell you that because it's not really important and there's no way that any of the characters would know that
because like devola and popola were the oldest and even they were
well

anyway I just think it's neat

[FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK]

yeah I like that too. the short stories and novellas elaborating on what happened between Drakengard Ending E and Nier are incredible and should collectively be a whole game in itself.  the process of how everything went to shit after the ashes of that thing corrupting the world and the various ways it was dealt with was fascinating. idk who would be the mc though. it would probably have to be one of those things where you get a few different stories with different characters at different points in time. tyrann and weiss have enough to carry their individual stories but not the whole story. If there's ever a Nier 3 that's what I want it to be about. Though I wouldn't mind seeing what 9S and 2B are up to post-automata ending E. apparently they're still fighting machines and they meet emil again, if the emil head weapon story is to be believed.

so I was playing an html5 rpg and when I moved back a screen—to where I had just been—it froze and never loaded the last map. That's weird, this game had never glitched before. It's really frozen too, holy shit. I click around, learn pretty quickly NG is down. It tried to pull infodatas from its little folder but could not because ng was down what the fuck thanks steve jobs

[FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK]

I wanna make a shitty html5 rpg but the version of rpgmaker (gamemaker? I forget) I got off humblebundle forever ago doesn't have the module and you cant get the module anymore because there's several new versions of the program altogether. if they're not gonna sell it to me legit, well... perhaps...
