Played up to where you can get in Iron Kingdom on the first visit, and up to the second movement upgrade of Kaanul, which puts me squarely out of the very, very long prologue to the main game. It bums me out that Qadira's plot will have to wait but I'm already quite impressed with the sheer variety of the areas so far.

I'm tired out on gaming for tonight, so I'm getting started on Oban Star-Racers and there's been at least one moment of "oh! Oh, this is gonna be good :D" visuals, even if the dub is. Hm. I don't exatly dislike it, but it doesn't impress me yet.

If Maya has that rage we see in Eva at times, it definitely only comes out in how she, like all star-racer pilots, is an adrenaline hound with quite a cavalier attitude towards her own safety :D But yeah, it's absolutely clear to me that Eva's temperament is a part of her maladjustment and trauma, because it's so consistently retaliatory. You always know why she's angry, you always know why she's yelling, and you always know when she wants to fucking deck you, and whether you think you deserve it depends entirely on to what degree you agree with what the situation actually is.

That's not Maya at all! She's got the same potential, but like Rick, it's honed to a fine point -- and because she's confident, secure and successful, she can keep that thing sheathed when she's anywhere that isn't the track.
