  • I have yet to find a game that expresses power fantasy through movement like Warframe.

    Warframe movement is super smooth, very fast-paced, and yet extremely controllable and complementary of game mechanics.

    Bullter jumping across levels, bouncing on walls to turn around and unleash a burst of fire, super-jumping 30 feet high to get perfect view of enemies, it does everything perfectly. You absolutely feel like you’re a specter of death reaving though the battlefield.

    And every time I play a gamme, I feel glued to the ground and wished it has Warframe’s movement.





  • I mean, there are already plenty, for example, Peter III, who leads a Spanish church that believes they are the rightful Church. (Also, antipope is a subjective word, like heretic. From the perspective of various sects, the Pope Francis is the antipope.)

    Nothing stops you from calling yourself Pope and claiming you’re the rightful leader of the Church, hereby making you an antipope to the eyes of the Church.

    Now is there going to be a relevant antipope, that’s a lot less likely.

    The relevancy of antipopes hinged on the political power of the pope. Having the pope at your beck and call was an extremely powerful tool in the Middle Ages. But nowadays, between the secularization of most Catholic countries, and the massive loss of influence of the Catholic Church, an antipope would only have as much influence as his followers would give him, especially since they wouldn’t have the support of the Holy See or the Church.

    And then there’s Pluto, by Naoki Urasawa, which is what would happen if Philip K. Dick decided to write an Astro Boy story.

    (It’s a reinterpretation of “The Greatest Robot on Earth”, and was supervised by Tezuka’s son, 100% worth a read)
