bedes: Art of Mikuo, the genderbend of Hatsune Miku, in the outfit and stylings of Project Voltage's Fairy-type Trainer Miku. He has a small ponytail, and is holding up his pillow to rest his face against it. His eyes are sleepy and half-lidded. (mikuo)
I knew I would get obsessed with Cold Front, so I put off playing it for ages. I then played it, and became obsessed with it. Who could have foreseen this?

Putting jokes aside: I do have a lot of thoughts about the game, so I wanted to write them all down. This review contains spoilers!

My first criticism is that Augustine is a hockey player who is symbolically represented by a bear, and yet, he is a twig. Excuse me? That is a description of a character that should obviously be a beautiful fat man. Cowards. Pussies. (Although, thinking about the members of STUDIO INVESTIGRAVE's only fat OC and how he's drawn, Augustine probably wouldn't be drawn well if they did. OOPS who said that)

I had heard the word "archetrope" around the alterhuman community before the OtherCon 2023. Although in vague terms, I had heard of it. I sort of got the vibe from the word, so I never felt the need to look into it. A vague sort of, "Identifying with an archetype, or a trope from media," vibe. What came to mind for me was tropes like the knight, the prince, the rogue. Classic roles. The stuff you'd see on tarot cards or such. The larger alterhuman community is known to look down on "newer" sources of identity, after all (see the long-standing hesitancy to accept fictionkin).
So, when I joined the panel being hosted by someone named Vyt all about archetropy, I thought I knew what to expect.

Vyt described their archetype as "the right-hand man".

Well, Vyt mostly talked about "the paladin" as their main tropetype. But that was the sort of archetype I expected. "The right-hand man" may not be considered a "modern" archetype, but the specific phrase of "right-hand man" for it feels rather new in comparison to how I viewed archetropy before.

My mom was a pastor.
