"When [Aleida] opens the door [to Margo's office after the JSC bombing], I think the immediate fear is, "Margo died, and I never got to tell her that I love her." There's shock there, so she isn't thinking straight, but I think that's what it is — that she's been arguing and fighting with this person, and at the end of the day, she just wants to tell her that she loves her."
#For All Mankind#forallmankindedit#Coral Peña#Aleida Rosales#Margo Madison#ya think Aleida managed to mention she now also has a daughter during the one month period where she was playing#love note express for Margo and Sergei or did she invite her over to dinner and spring a wholeass child on Margo on top of everything else#no but I love how Coral's s3 interview is perfectly in synch with what we see in s4#AT THE END OF THE DAY SHE JUST WANTS TO TELL HER THAT SHE LOVES HER#it was never about the stupid engine designs and it sure af was not about Margo betraying the United States#Aleida couldn't care less she's not loyal to 'murica it's like Coral said her loyalty lies with Margo#THAT'S the betrayal that hurts. Margo not confiding in her. then leaving her. then not contacting her. is what seems impossible to forgive.#then suddenly she's back and it makes everything worse. and for a bit their s3 fight continues in s4.#until they manage to break the cycle. because 'you're not him' and 40something Aleida isn't 28 y/o Margo

star wars outlaws
#star wars outlaws#kay vess#nix#did a brief detour into this game it isn't bad! but certainly lacks in polish for core loops. tutorialization pipelines are ass also#performance - also ass. had to play quality on ps5 for it to have any clarity at all. but the open world is gorgeous#and it certainly nails the very narrow target of horse girl star wars fantasy (ripping across tatooine on a speeder with a little Guy)#nix is everything I love him. modern star wars rarely captivates me but they do know how to do lil guys real well#my photos#star wars#also-also. would be remiss not to mention. never played a game with unregulated scope creep this noticeable before. it's baffling#I KNOW people crunched on this it's in the walls in the floorboards it's everywhere. unmitigated hodge podge of mechanics and pillars#and those pillars are often unbalanced between each other. storytelling payloads are an issue too. there's pre-rendered in-engine cutscenes#real-time in-engine cutscenes. and digic-produced full CG cutscenes. and their placement and prioritization feels insane and inscrutable#like three different teams were working on the game at the same time and never in congress or coordination#it also suffers from the open world 4th and 5th priority narrative payload issues - many secondary and sometimes even primary questgiving#and expository dialogues are in-game zoomed camera lipsync exchanges. or flavor text#on the other hand - surprisingly deft mission design itself? side quests reward either cosmetics or actual unlockable deployable skills#it has fleeting genes of a metroidvania spread across a wide open world in that sense. but only fleeting. the rep system is a smokescreen#and progression in general has a very open and unsatisfying end to it. this game needed less scope and maybe no space stuff at all#the resulting resource allocation adjustment would truly make for a captivating open world adventure. as it stands it feels like#a product of overworked people misusing mismanaged budgets and managing to sprinkle some love into it regardless#games should never be good on the merit of their perceivable seasoning of overwork and passion. that really only bakes a sadness cake

I like to think that when the batfamily inevitably runs out of money and jobless Bruce, Tim, and Dick* find themselves in financial need, Steph reveals that she's made thousands of dollars taking odd jobs around Gotham City that we just never saw bc Steph hasn't been in a comic for months. Nobody checked in on her and while they weren't looking she made 6 grand babysitting and playing piano at a local theatre. Bruce has to grovel for enough money to buff out a scratch on the batmobile and Steph is revelling in it. This is the closest she's ever going to get to being a supervillain
*(Cass and Jason don't need money to survive on account of being homeless as kids + Babs funds Cass' basic needs and Damian is on his mom's payroll, same w/ duke even if it's obvs not al ghul money)
#ramblings of a lunatic#dc comics#dc#stephanie brown#bruce wayne#tim drake#dick grayson#batfamily#...#wayne family adventures#that seems like something that could happen over there lmao#i already said babysitting and playing piano at a local theatre (NEVER FORGET STEPH CANONICALLY TOOK UP PIANO AGAIN. BATGIRLS 18)#but i can also picture her doing other odd jobs#harper teaches her some basic electrical engineering tips and Steph takes a couple jobs with her for some extra cash#in batgirl 2009 she was working off her tuition by working at her school library so maybe she can do something like that too as well#i like to imagine that off screen steph will work a job for a week then get paid then get fired bc she lets her vigilante life take over#meanwhile Tim's been a dilettant on his houseboat and dick has the leftovers of what alfred gave to him which he gave to charity(?)#and bruce has just been funnelling his last remaining dollars into batman until one day his bat bank account hits negative $50#bruce has been begrudgingly letting Talia pay his rent and groceries for the past few months (damian had to cooerce him into it)#anyway i wish they did more w broke Batman. not that bruce cant survive w/o money but hes usually like. in the wilderness in those scenarios#not a city that i just KNOW has an incredibly fucked up economic situation. i bet it costs $1.95 for bottled water in gotham#anyway. bad headcanons <3

ive dreamed the bothosters coming back with even worse bots twice now and every time i woke up like slightly annoyed before realizing some of the bigger bothosters and cheaters have been banned and every effort theyve made has been foiled by Valve and theyve yet to reverse engineer whatever it is Valve is using to gut them with and i start looking like this
#fixttf2#savetf2#tf2#hopefully valve is gonna continue with this effort beyond the summer update but you never know lol#they need to fix CS2 as well like do you guys know how FUCKED that game is#i dont play it but the game is less than a year old and has cheaters and bots infesting it tf2 style#and its unforgivable. tf2 is 17 yrs old and the source engine code got leaked#but they essentially forced the players to go from csgo to cs2 and took the economy with them#and the game lacks content and has been stuck in season 1 for 9 months#while cheaters and bots ruin the fuck outta the game#but they havent lifted a finger to fix it#instead theyre making a new game that already has cheaters in the beta test......... lol#so genuinely valve has a lot to fix and answer for and maintain#if they want to amend the absolute idiocy theyve kept up for so long

If Ulysses has a million haters, then I'm one of them. If Ulysses has one hater, then I'm THAT ONE. If Ulysses has no haters, that means I'm dead. If the world is with Ulysses than I’m against the world.
#this is slightly joking but like also not but also like am mixed on Ulysses on many factors#infuriating because i sympathize with his pain but it’s like#he is a well written and fundamentally flawed character whose hypocrisy I found doubly in#black characters I can tell were designed by white people with a semblance of an understanding of activism and bipoc oppression#but not enough for the character to not feel like hand holding for the majority white audience#plus personal grips with the whole twisted hairs thing and reference to slave braiding patterns#Ulysses irks me as a black person on a weird personal level and I can go into debt on why him being black is a big detractor for him to me#like he continues this cycle of distancing himself from his roots before remembering over and over again through his actions#he leave so much in his wake that the courier ends up correcting or helping like in honest hearts and old world blues because he’s self#righteous in a subtle way even to himself that he believes he stand out of his one man rule when he does not play an active hand#saw a post talk about how you choose to continue moving through his story and can leave at any moment and this it is partially your fault#but what of the oath that is set before you and is forced to take that he set up#I do not have to walk it but when I do the steps are not my own but those taken for me#you have to go out of your way to change it which is not something he expects because he’s playing by a story he’s been perpetuating in his#head about you two and the effect one man has when he’s continually been that one man more so than you as many of his actions directly lead#to the one you go through also the irony in the flag he continues to bear being the real reason he has no home#like he reps it when the package is likely enclave and thus use the same symbol#also still can’t get over how anyone could have delivered the package and he tries so hard to act like it was the couriers destiny or fate#when this was the one case of chance and that once man was likely a enclave engineer and how it’s really is never one man#it the process and he’s so annoying about it like he’s a cool character but if you don’t believe in his philosophy or already went through#these ideas cause they are very common talking points in poc especially BIPOC spaces he’s just old hashings and stunted#fallout#fallout new vegas#Ulysses you upset me but I’m like I feel you could be better if you weren’t so incessant#I don’t think I ever want to make a serious post stating this about him just because I’d start yapping and it’d never get finished#ulysses fnv#fnv ulysses#lonesome road

miscellaneous mar. 10 sketches and a peach profile pretend i posted this yesterday
#smb#princess peach#mario#kamek#toadette#mar 10#welcome to my blog where i draw people facing left#like half my smb art is just peach wearing sailor moon-adjacent frilly dresses#kamek and toadette being pals is a concept that has not left my brain since the first time i played super mario party. it's too funny#toadette in general i think is an underrated character. do people remember she's an engineer? i remember she's an engineer.#anyway i'm never going to draw any smb characters on model#bc the ones that aren't normal humans are either fungus people or reptile people#both of which are things i'm super enthusiastic about#have you guys ever seen veiled lady mushrooms? i imagine that's the sort of thing going on with toadette's pigtails#uh anyway#autumn.art#autumn.fandom#i may clean these sketches up later. i actually kinda like them

There's probably not many people talking about Deep Rock on here, but DRG is being put into a freezer filled with meaty tendrils for 8 months (or more) so they can slamjam out a standalone roguelike version of the game.
I think a lot of people were already pretty confused by them having that secondary team making a Vampire Survivors clone, and the board game, but now we're looking at the game that few people are satisfied with the state of as the games best time is long past most dwarves. The best grinds are for Overclocks which quickly run out and leave you with nothing but grinding for cosmetics (90% of which are slightly different versions of beards). Add on that the game is being left on an event which I've regularly heard people say they'd prefer having the robots back (and everybody fucking hated the robots)
The general issue is that rockpox demands specific build types to overcome which ruin players desires as they need pinpoint damage, which then requires more attention and drags down the experience. Robots required heat, but heat was easy to obtain on many builds.
Not a good choice for several reasons, mainly that heavy combat wasn't the main draw of this game and ultimately will fracture it's own playerbase, rendering DRG drained of its more combat focused players on top of the slow entropy of players leaving due to BEING FUCKED BY ROCKPOX for 8 months.
Add on the fact that they are acting as if the ALPHA of this new game won't need continued effort applied to it, which means the main game will slow down even further, thus leading to the same problem of players leaving faster then they'll join.
This is not the way forward to keeping this brand growing, this is how you get elongated YouTuber videos talking about the good ol days. You don't want that.
#Deep Rock Galactic#Has been fumbled post its full release which has led to a stagnation that has driven away a lot of greybeards#Most of the Venerable Ancients are long since gone#Whats there to do when they want to use 90% of this games engine to make a different experience that will lose all of its best traits#This is not Rock and Stone and most of the playerbase is never coming home again#Why stop playing and invest time into a game that wont be rendered inert by Deep Rock Cooking Sim#Are you ready for Deep Rock Puzzle Battler!?;#Im so down for Deep Rock Pokemon#Oh wait those are all awful ideas when the core product was your entire platform

there are so many youtube videos that are like “tears of the kingdom is a disappointing masterpiece” or “tears of the kingdom is a flawed 10/10” like can we all just be honest with ourselves and say the game was fucking mid because everything cool about it was underdeveloped
#the legend of zelda#tears of the kingdom#it has the coolest physics engine and machine building that you never need to fully utilize for anything#it has the best map concept in the world and once you actually explore it it’s all either reused or copy pasted#they claimed that they learned from the criticism of botw w the dungeons#but they’re all just divine beasts with a new coat of paint#this game promises so much in its opening hours but fails to deliver once you actually play the whole thing

Re-reading the MAG 160 transcript and I want to bite Elias’ head off so bad
#grrr the way he says OUR victory and the world WE have made makes me want to strangle him so bad#he fuckin scientifically engineered the statement to be as painful as possible on jon#this is based on how i interpret the scene so keep that in mind#because he’s really sharing the blame with jon as much as possible here#really drilling it into his head that while yes elias was the guy behind the scheme JON was the one to carry it out#and made multiple CHOICES (though w/o knowing the full picture) to carry it out#Jon has a guilt complex the size of a fucking train#it’s possible that he would already have had similar thoughts even w/o Elias saying them out loud#but the fact that he DOES say them out loud I think would really cement it into Jon’s mind#now that it’s been spoken and jon has FELT it in his bones there’s no chance he WOULDN’T ponder over it#as if he even WANTED to do at all#it makes me so mad like SKELSVDNJFLSKNDVF#JONAH SHUT YOUR TRAP HE NEVER WANTED ANY OF THIS#and then a clip from an earlier episode plays in my brain of ‘no you didn’t want any of this but you chose this’#like UGHHHU#he made this statement to be as painful as possible is my stance#he made sure to hit a lot of points that he KNEW would hurt#hits on the web/mr. spider’s mark implying jon was set for doom at the start#strengthens that it was Jon’s choice to be a monster#that he’s the one who caused all the misfortunes that surround him#and then rubs it in THAT HE COULD HAVE BEEN FREE FROM ALL THIS IF JONAH (and the Web) HADN’T SPECIFICALLY CHOSEN *HIM*#it was not destiny but SHEER FUCKING ROTTEN LUCK#AGHHHHH#anyway *cough*#tma#MAG 160#abellrambles

been playing bits and pieces of horizon forbidden west! game's pretty as hell
#horizon forbidden west#photo mode#my edits#yannow. it got me thinking too. the npc fidelity in this game is off the fucking shits. never seen anything like it#even secondary dialogues are leaving all the competition in the dust. it's an insane level of work#major burnout red flags for sure. but also maybe talking about engines as specialized tools instead of ubiquitous ones isn;t so bad?#i mean there's definitely trends. ramming down RPGs down frostbite's throat has never worked well#while decima is tearing up the open worlds and tech fidelity quotas like nbd even on prev gen#is it really about implementation at this point#maybe some engines just. work best for certain types of hard goals. and choosing that right is what matters#i pkayed this after ragnarok and that game looks embarassing next to hfw. and I'm not even saying it flippantly. I stand by what i've said#shorter games less scope lower fidelity etc. for healthier dev teams. but this can be a scalability tell tale? maybe using something#like decima can mean an easier time for a standard EA dev cycle *without* hitting these insane fidelity goals. just thinking out loud#cause forever salty about frostbite. probably wrong but hey! I am on a blogging website famous for its phobia of deeper contexts#or maybe playing as aloy gave me that stupid self confidence juice#the way she bulldozes into delicate foreign policies with nothing but her ego and hutzpah really proves that whiteness is alive and well#in whatever variant of post-post-apocalypse this story is set into. they better interrogate her issues cause otherwise this plot will like#fizzle out under the weight of her self-righteousness lmao

i have settled on why it's been so difficult for me to focus on totk. i played botw for AGES. a solid year, the only game i played was botw. i only finished the game once or twice and the rest of the time farted around the map. i took my time and explored everything i could get to the first couple of playthroughs, i knew that map inside out, but y'know. started zoomin after a while, i'd seen everything already
because they used the same map, it feels like i've already finished totk
#voxbox#loz#totk#legend of zelda#tears of the kingdom#it's not that i'm bored with it i'm just not as engaged as i would be in a totally new environment#i've spent more time in the depths than anywhere else because it's new! never been here before!#same with the sky! it's different!#yee haw!#but i played botw for so long that totk feels. repetitive almost#the engineering is a nice addition but i don't know if it's enough to give totk the lasting power that botw has for me

My oc Jacob and the two characters I wasn't aware of when I made him but who are suspiciously similar to him in different ways :-)
#they got stuck working on an interdimensional group project together :-(#jacob feels so outclassed bc while he's good at mechanical engineering he's not as skilled as a lot of his coworkers#much less a literal magic goo witch and a guy who uses cartoon logic in everything he does#also they're both like a decade older than him#only thing he has over them is that he actually has a loving girlfriend. and she's not even here#jacob garrison#protozone#tf2#team fortress 2#engineer tf2#the owl house#alador blight#YES im putting this in main tags. toh and tf2 fans!! look at my cringefail oc#no i have never actually watched the owl house but i know the entire plot thanks to tumblr fanart and analysisposting#i also don't play tf2 but I've watched the videos and read the comics and been into the fandom for like a year
