I opened an old conversation to find something and the snippet i immediately spotted was someone saying

"are ya winning son?" like the meme

and my response with zero delay was "we don't do that here"

and if that doesn't sum up my whole goddamn life--

[moonelf19]

I have an unpopular opinion that might get me dogpiled by my social circles IRL

I think Baldurs Gate 3 is a "meh" game.

Before you grab your pitchforks let me say I'm so glad Larian is getting praised, that people are enjoying it. Really.

But the bugs and errors have absolutely ruined my experience, coupled with the fact that my first playthrough is with two other friends in multiplayer.

My friends begged and pleaded and refused to play anything else when it was in early access, and even though I eventually put my foot down and refused to start any new saves after the SEVENTH FRESH START. In early access. Where we never even made it very far. Any time they added or changed anything my friends were like "ok time to start a new save file!" And girl. As much as I love making alts. I hated BG3 in early access. We did the same first 2-3 hours of that game too many times. I realized too late I was getting burnt and the damage was done.

When it full released I was so excited to jump back in having completely ignored it for so long. I made a new character, played for a few hours (speeding through the stuff I already had done) before discovering that my saving was corrupted.

That happened three times, with me changing settings and even reinstalling the game, before my googling finally pinged about the cross save articles.

Again. Damage was done. I was so incredibly frustrated I wanted to take another break.

Instead my friends convinced me to do a multiplayer for my first run through.

Huge mistake. Don't do that. Don't do multiplayer for your first time.

After we got through the part I had done a million times, I pointed out that I didn't know the story at that point so we should stick together. Nope.

Didn't happen.

The host went full main character syndrome. I would be in the middle of buying something, or doing inventory management, which I am very efficient at this point. But he would run off and do conversations and continue quests and I kept getting confused on what was happening.

And the one time I wandered off, while he and my other friend traded some gear, I accidentally aggroed some mobs and he absolutely scolded me for "trying to split the party". Apparently I walked past a HIDDEN DOOR that I wasn't aware of and AFTER I GOT INTO COMBAT he decided to go into the door and start a different combat, and got mad I wasnt following him.

Later I was talking to some NPCs and seeing if any of them had anything interesting to trade, like main character told me to do, and then he said he was continuing a quest and doing a riddle/secret and I was like where? What? Wait for me! But he didn't and by the time I showed up he had moved into the next quest.

I feel bad because like. I want to play game with my friends, and when it's combat it isn't so bad, although they pretty regularly do things that fuck up my combat skills. It's just.

It's not fun. It's not fun when my only role is to open locks and disarm traps and do sneak attacks. And whenever I try to talk to the NPCs he's like wait don't do the thing without me there. Like I'm not supposed to play the game because he might miss something, but I also have no idea what's going on because he is sprinting through act one "sinces he's done it so much in early access".

The biggest multiplayer problem is how often he will tell me "ok open this box and bring the thing to here" and I will be doing that, talking to a person, continuing the quest, but he will run off and like, fast travel, or make some decision that effects the world, and my game will crash. It's happened like five times now. The last time it totally corrupted my game, I had to fresh install, and when I came back everything in my personal chest had gone to his, and my twitch drops were gone.

Oh! And one time they asked if I wanted to play that night, and I said yes but I wouldn't be ready for an hour. Less than an hour later I got online and it turned out they didn't wait for me, main character was piloting my character and used a bunch of my saved arrows/potions "because there's no point hoarding them" and I was pissed. I know how much act 2 ratchets up the difficulty and I had told them I was saving resources. And he PLAYED MY CHARACTER, played our group save without me!!!

I figure ok, time to make a solo game and really sprint through it, on easy mode, just so I can experience the story and know what's happening!! I gathered my wits and rolled a wizard and started playing and wow. Uh. It's full crashed three times.

Tonight the latest crash was because I *checks notes* clicked to fast travel and somehow it tried to make a new marker on the fast travel icon, but also initiated the fast travel, so the game got stuck and I had to alt+f4.

So. Please continue to have fun. But also. This game has had so many bugs and crashes that I find it unplayable. I'll be back in 6 months when everything has been spoiled and the bugs ironed out.

Maybe.

It feels cramped because it IS cramped!

4 hours till my first house gets finished and I can have a dedicated place to store the treasure chests that I've found *laughs in collector pain* oh palia why you do dis to me

Also clock the bouquet Jel sent me :3

[moonelf19]

PALIA IS IN OPEN BETA!!!

It's a COZY life sim/ farming sim/ idk what to categorize it as (click the link to go to their blog where they answer what it is)

If you want to check it out FOR FREE it's in Open Beta right now! Please use my refer a friend link so I can get free goodies :3

here are a couple screenshots I've taken so far of characters I like!

Basically you make a character and are given a plot a-la stardew valley. You build relationships with the villagers like stardew as well, but they also have quests for you which is more like an MMO. Go get me this, go find this, take this to person x.

It's a seesaw of going out into the world and doing tasks, then coming home to your plot of land (instanced and private) and either selling loot or crafting and developing your place. Theres farming of course, but you also need to turn wood into planks to create other things. For example, like in animal crossing, you start with a lil tent. But very quickly you get a writ to build a house. You place the foundation and then start dropping your planks and bricks in.

There's 2 kinds of character progression. Skills, and Tools. Skills level up based on using the tools. As they go up, you get more access to the Skill Vendor, who will be a designated villager for each. So the foraging guy will offer more blueprints and items as you get better at foraging. The fishing and bug catching mechanic is fun and involved fwiw. The skill vendor will also offer blueprints to upgrade your tool, which then makes it easier to gather.

The devs have been super transparent about stuff so far, the game is free and the monetization is purely cosmetics- most of which I have no interest in because the base clothing you get for free is all perfectly fashionable IMO

Anyway, thats my two cents on a fun, exceedingly chill game that has zero pressure or risks in its gameplay. Do stuff at your own pace, follow what you think is fun.

of course the scruffy aragorn looking himbo isn't romanceable T-T

[moonelf19]

Good Omens S2 spoilers without context

[moonelf19]

Move aside swagless boutta get a new Wizard’s Staff that comes loaded with spells like “open locked doors” and “dismantle car”

[moonelf19]

head empty, no thoughts. just turtleneck crowley

[moonelf19]

I'm the only one here against the coffee theory?

It takes away the point of the beautiful way the character is written. We can clearly see from the beginning Aziraphale is still bound to heaven in some ways. Or at least not specifically to heaven but to the thought of what it might and should be. And here it is, his chance to make it better, and to do it with Crowley. To make things better for Crowley. For the both of them.

Do you really want to erase all of this because of a miracle theory? I mean yes, Metatron manipulated Aziraphale, but not with a miracle. Just with words.

And Aziraphale fell for it because he still had hope.

people on here interacting with neil gaiman is so. ur like this cannot possibly a real human being off anon!!! sitting down typing out an ask like that knowing the creator of the work will see it. and then ur like well dont be an asshole maybe it's just a 14 year old engaging in fandom for the first time! but then u click on the blog to see its a 35 year old actual real adult who went hello mister GAYman (hihihaha) thank u so much for making my coffeeshop au background relationship / rarepair endgame / slow burn true love sunshine sunshine protector dynamics of my dreams come true! u really had crowley say SMUT 👍🥳🤣🙌 but why was there conflict :/sometimes people argued and???? was that really necessary??? pls tell me rn that this is in fact a happy ending fic scenario otherwise I will have to kill myself immediately in exceedingly violent fashion and it will be ur fault (if michael sheen and david tennant don't kiss again in s3 u will feel my wrath. i know ur home address) anyways. are u aware of the omegaverse trope 😜 just blink twice if that is something we can look forward to in s3 😝😂🤭 also crowley wore different clothes during different episodes?? is that a continuity error?? or will that be explained in a3?

[moonelf19]

Gabriel saying “fuck it we ball, demon fucking comes first and my job in heaven comes second” and aziraphale being a corporate career bitch who thinks he can change things from the inside is so fucking funny I can’t breathe

[moonelf19]

What do you know about what I want?

[moonelf19]

I wasn't always a demon.

[moonelf19]

Maggie and Nina in the last two episodes are just like

[moonelf19]

aziraphale and crowley have broken up without dating like three times now they're truly the lgbt representation we deserve

[moonelf19]

Days seem sometimes as if they’ll never end

[moonelf19]

I feel so bad for Crowley. Your best friend and greatest love's boss suicide baits him and tries to kill him for falling in love with you. Mere years later he fucking PULLS YOUR FORMER BOSS and says all of this romantic shit like "Wherever they are is my Heaven <3" and then elopes with them while singing their song, literally doing all of the things you wanted to do for 6000 years but thought you couldn't. And then the guy you're in love with LEAVES YOU for a job at the company that EMPLOYED the guy who tried to kill him. My guy is going THROUGH IT. Someone check on him please.
