CULT OF THE LAMB: A RANT/ CRITIQUE

Okay hi I really love this one game and no I'm not talking about NITW. I'm talking about Cult of The Lamb which is a rouge like and to take care of your little cultists. I really like the art, the concept, and the way you play the game. But I do have some critiques.

It's incredibly glitchy. I once got trapped outside of the map and had to reset to get back, I also had to restart 4 different times because everytime I got to this one boss it froze, you'll get an upgrade on your broom and for some reason you'll get the same upgrade twice, a follower gave me a request and it only said "make" nothing else. I had to look it up later to find out what this glitch meant. It would also stutter when me and my friend did rituals together and many others have reported.

Co-op. It's couch only(couch co-op is you have to play on the same console or device). While it's annoying it's not too disappointing. The problem is that it's obviously not made with co-op in mind. You have to be near each other or else you can't do anything, when you do an action it interrupts the other player which means if you're fighting you have to wait for the other to crawl over so you can see the enemy, there's a ton of enemies and with two people it gets incredibly cluttered which makes flaws in the maps obvious. When the creators said they'd have to remake the game for online co-op, It. Freaking. S h o w s.

Enemies. Sometimes there's straight up too many especially when your in a map you can't see the other side. Some of the bat like creatures go outside the map where you can't hit them, there's no second to breathe when you enter the map as the enemies immediately start attacking or maybe I experienced another glitch.

Now when I say these things I say them with love because I like the game. This seems like the creators bit off more than they could chew with the amount of content ultimately making it suffer. That's my rant thank you for reading if you did.

Edit: The real problem I think is inexperience. Another example of huge map having games with multiple features like many weapons, characters, skins is Apex Legends! It runs relatively fine but the team that worked on that is more familiar I believe and has a bigger team.

See ya

Rose wouldn't make sense if she wasn't a diamond

hi this is a little rant about the things that would be plot holes unless Rose wasn't Pink Diamond/ little hints dropped by the team.

Renaldo literally says it in his little breakthrough moment after kidnapping Steven. He's set up to be crazy so no one including the fans believe him. (Not a great point but kinda funny)

Rose deflected a blast from THREEE OF THE DIAMONDS. She would be an insanely powerful if she wasn't a diamond.

Her healing tears. No other Rose Quartz or any Quartz is mentioned to have this power and every gem is made the same unless they're cooked too long. If every Quartz had that they'd spam it like no tomorrow.

Rose can float. I know Jasper and Amethyst aren't the same gem but they have the same powers. Both characters fall like rocks(hehe)

Pink Diamonds death itself has holes in the story. If you remember there's a moment during Stevens trial where a gem explains how it would have to be someone close to Pink to shatter her. Guards would be a problem, her pearl disappeared with no sign of shattering of being poofed, ECT.

Diamonds are powerful enough to to crush a gen with one finger. How would a simple sword shatter that strong of a being.

Anyway those are some of my opinions and reasons so hope you enjoy and I welcome (respectful) discourse

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?
