Playing Fallout 1 and noticing Necropolis disappear from the caravans is just. So perfect.
The game brings no attention to it. No one mentions it. The caravans just don’t go there anymore. It makes you wonder what happened, you solved all their problems already, right?
So now you have a reason to go back there, cause otherwise there’s really no reason too. And when you do, everyone is gone. There’s no more ghouls, just super mutants. They invaded, and there’s nothing you can do to stop them. Once you hit that date, the city is gone.
It’s frankly a brilliant moment of subtle storytelling and even though I already knew about Necropolis’ fate it still motivated me to go back, just to make sure.
I wonder how many people discovered it this way? I can only imagine just how effective this reveal is for someone actually playing the game blind.
#fallout#fallout 1#fallout spoilers#spoilers#? not sure but yeah djhddudu#I’m really loving this game#i understand why the got rid of the time mechanic after this#but it does make for some amazing story telling#I kinda wish there were more instances of the world changing based on how much time has passed#I believe there’s some other very small things#but other than Necropolis only the fate of Vault 13 is on a deadline#and even then only the water chip deadline remains#which i appreciate them removing the deadline to beat the game for gameplays sake#but there definitely is a lack of tension in the second half of the game without it#which I don’t mind necessarily it’s nice to have time to just run around exploring and doing quests#but man… the ticking clock really adds something to the experience#maybe I’ll turn the deadline back on with my mod if I do a second playthrough#it has settings to set a timer for every settlement actually but that sounds kind of insane djbdbdbdbd

Just saw someone say mario and luigi brothership looks bland but it’s ok I respect other peoples opinions even the wrong ones :)))
#it does not look bland#and that not just me being blinded by my autistic joy or whatever#like it looks amazing and the npcs from what little we saw are dripping with charm#the gameplay looks great too#even the 3d models have the exact same charm and fun movement as the 2D sprites from the old games#like what about this is bland#super mario#mario and luigi brothership

my take on @misssicknesss 's lovely template + some reasoning behind it on the tags bc i feel like. explaining myself (original below the cut)
#ok so. i wanna start saying that picking a favorite antagonist was the toughest shit ever#bc all the antagonists of the franchise are freaking amazing. alexander? no comment he is a perfect example of a perfect villain.#he sacrificed so much again and again and again for a chance to be where he belongs again and honestly the agony he feels#he just wanted to be with his true love#its so understandable#tihana is sort of the same#her themes and her own story interwinded with tasi's story felt so perfect#she didnt care about being the empress nor about eternal life#she just wanted to love and feel loved truly by a baby of her own#someone she could raise and care and look out for#but the engineer hits me different#i love everything about a machine for pigs truly but he is a really perfect antagonist#he is literally a mirror of mandus's actions and desires#his own riot against humanity turned against him#its not even clear if the engineer is really a conscious that can speak or if hes only in mandus's mind and honestly it doesnt matter at al#he guides mandus through his internal battle against his own consciousness#beliefs and actions#and he is so well acted i love it big time#so yeah in my heart its ALL of them but since i had to choose one.....#same goes for favorite game#my favorites are the bunker and a machine for pigs okay but rebirth has such a special fucking place in my heart#and so does the og and justine#all of these games are so unique and perfect on their own way#they all have their own thing going on be it on story thematics or gameplay wise but#they all also have something in common#first is that you can throw stuff around and second#these all are very human existential dreadful stories#where the real horror comes from being who you are and dealing with it#anyway i cant explain more bc theres no more tags so thank if you read this umm#amnesia game

ORAS could have been so good if the gameplay had just been overhauled properly.
#Stupid shit#Pokemon#Like!!! It has AMAZING visuals/redesigns/environment designs/music/writing/the BEST random encounter system in the series#But its post-game is absolutely uncomparable to the original with the exception of how *cool* the deoxys encounter is#And the gameplay does not hold a fucking candle to the original at all.#It's one of those pokemon games you just blow through and that unfortunately makes it not as fun and also relatively forgettable#God... but what could have been if they cared enough to preserve what the original had in terms of gameplay#Like I played Alpha Sapphire and Emerald at around the same time over the last year or so. Revisited them together.#And ORAS did so fucking well in so many ways... and yet Emerald was way more memorable#So many battles in the original games actually mattered and had to be thought about with genuine strategies if you didn't just grind one mo#In ORAS literally none of it matters. There is zero challenge whatsoever.#And I KNOW I know it's because game freak realized that they were releasing this game to a market of kids with 'no attention span'#So their goals were different#But man does it make for a shit turn-based RPG to approach things that way.

is it just me but i can't play in/see 2fort the same way after watching emesis blue
what could be an average 8 hours on 2fort suddenly feels eerie and weird. everytime i go to a certain area my mind just flashes to a scene tied to it, its insane
probably just brainrot taking over again
#emanons notes#the worldbuilding of emesis blue is amazing and superb#i've been thinking about it since yesterday actually#the fact that it builds off of existing tf2 lore without being too out there makes it so much more “real” to me#the respawn system... the concept of cheating death... the whole “its eternity in there!”#it feels. like they also incorporated gameplay elements into it#how you come back unscathed but your mind is never the same#how sometimes it just malfunctions and does... shit all to your body#i've felt the same way#when dying to same tryhard soldier and their medic gf 10x i can feel my sanity dwindling#i start seeing things. mostly red. but sometimes i just become so dejected that i just let it happen#and the fact that respawn time can also go until 15 seconds and up?#“Its eternity in there.”#not to mention the VISUALS man#every frame is a masterpiece#the lighting. the reoccuring theme of red and blue#the character coloring/designs#its just. its so good

once again minecraft fans be mad for all the wrong reasons
#minecraft#june speaks#dawg if u wanna be mad about the vault block be mad that we had to wait ages just to learn the key is used for what seems to be midgame gea#not that the vault performs an incredibly basic multiplayer feature that shoulda been added ages ago#it only feels like a disappointing feature cuz they took so long to tell us ''oh yea it unlocks player-specific loot containers''#which is a good fucking feature even if it's not particularly interesting! i'm very glad they added it!#this game really does need some multiplayer QoL changes when it comes to the gameplay n this is a great step towards that#it's just stupid to have to wait two months to learn that when by all means we were made to expect it did something more interesting like#idfk. open a secret area or summon a boss. which maybe it could still do! we just don't know yet. update's not fully announced yet!#personally imma save my negative feelings (beyond being annoyed having to wait that long for something that simple) for AFTER the update#at which point if the vault doesn't ever give better loot or if the keys never get any more uses i'll feel a justified mild disappointment#which like ngl. even that's motivated purely by my position as a seasoned player#i'm certain that as-is the vault is amazing for new and learning players in every possible regard. it's a good block n a great feature#but even considering that i feel like it's reasonable to want to be catered to a little bit as a seasoned player yknow?#beyond insanely tedious self-imposed tasks there's not a lot to minecraft's endgame. beat it a hundred times n eventually you get bored#which i think is why a lotta other people get so annoyed with some of these updates too#there's just not a lot bein added for the sake of catering to old players who want new experiences most of the time#anywho that's my bi-monthly minecraft rant outta the way lol

I feel like it was only time until I picked up millia seriously . Ignoring Character things idgaf about the character I play I play raven in xrd when my hands hurt too much to play venom but like <- again I play venom and robo ky. If every single match is not a struggle for 10 billion years for me I am not playing that character apparently
#txt#I loove the effort u have to dedicate to millia. mixups are so fucking fun#I already do this w venom the air approach into grounded mixup (usually cS/SA/CR) but like millia ur actuallynsupposed to play her like this#my god !#she does play similarly to venom sctually I rlly enjoy that. the mix of set play and amazing neutral is something I rlly rlly enjoy in them#I also think its hysterical. finally after months of going noo no I love millia but not her playstyle. I finally am millia pilled completely#to the point im buying bleach today. but. shh.#when they add venom to strive ill switch over but. millia my great friend her mixup game is too fun to avoid#I like testament but their gameplay plan is way too simple for me it doesnt feel meaty enough#its fun! theyre a good time I love their neutral game but. I dunno. strive in general#has this issue to me of characters feeling too samey oncebu play them for a while#like I couldbplay robo ky for hours and hours and feel like every match is completely different#its not a bad thing it just tends to bore me. so millia is fun. so many options !!#and the perk of her being my favorite LOL.

I literally died once because I accidentally thought about my ex. That's it. Dead.
i know everyone on this website means well, but if you ask me “which of these characters is sadder/wetter/doing worse in general”, and one of the opinions is harry dubois, you’re kidding yourself if you choose the other one. you’re kidding yourself for even suggesting it. he doesn’t know what the alphabet is. everyone he works with fucking hates him. he routinely threatens to kill himself while doing his job. he got broken up with SIX YEARS AGO and is still on like, day one of the grieving stage. he can die from sitting down in an uncomfortable chair. his clothes are soaked in piss and vomit all the time. as if all that wasn’t enough he’s also a cop like come on guys nobody is doing worse than him, we should just accept he’s an unattainable #1 and start polling for who is in second place
#PSA though Disco Elysium isn't a good game#some amazing writing and ideas#but like from a gameplay perspective?#absolute trash#because yeah you can die by thinking the wrong thing#and that can happen with zero warning#I died once due to a succeeding on a very difficult skill check#not failing#success killed me in a totally unpredictable way#which is kinda funny#but does not make for an actual good game when I then have to re-do everything leading up to that

I have SOO much respect for people that upload full gameplay videos of long video games on youtube but my question is: HOW do you even do that… do you not get sleepy? do you not get tired? hungry? thirsty? the urge to go to the bathroom? the urge to move for a bit?
#and does no one call them…#i mean unless they live alone sure but what about phonecalls#or urgents texts/emails#i dont think i’ll ever be able to do one of those#not without cuts and editing at least#they amaze me honestly#full gameplay videos on youtube#text post#i guess

ok sorry for the spam I just got completely insane about FF8 again. I'm normal now though
#the english language is not capable of describing my relatjonship to this game#its the best game ive ever played its dumb as fuck its nuts its hilarious its amazing#the gameplay is genuinely fun as fuck and broken as shit#the GF temples are just awesome and then the plot is the dumbest thing ever written#its almost written like a plot twisty VN except that requires it to have a plot which it barely does#none of the characters are anything more than cardboard cutouts in the shape of idiots#IT IS FLAWLESS#GAME OF ALL TIME#NO NOTES THANK YOU!!!

is there honestly anything cooler than fighting a respected protagonist in the sequel to a game cause i'm having a tough time thinking of anything that beats that
#like to me it is SUCH a cool idea and it is usually ALWAYS done right#even in games I don't like such as The Last of Us Part II fighting against Ellie as Abby as a scene by itself is honestly amazing#not because of any real interesting setup in the story or anything like that cause Abby as a protagonist is hard to root for#I just think facing against a fully armed Ellie is really neat#That and the back of the theater where the battle takes place in with its intense shades of red is such a striking scene#It's hard not to like it#that's based on the battle by itself by the way not the game cause as a whole TLOU II SUCKS and I WILL fight people on that#It is pretty and gameplay is fun but its story drags it down immensely and it does NOT deserve the high praise it gets

Oh yeah highlight of my night so far probably was when i booted up ultrakill 6-2 (with cheats so i could focus on rambling) so i could show my brother Gabriel’s voice lines in said chapter (i also rambled abt gabriel’s like. Lore and stuff. Mostly his overarching narrative presence in the other layers) (this happened because i mentioned one of gabe’s voice lines references a NIN song, my brother says he only listens to one NIN song, blah blah the stars aligned) and then he asked if he could fuck around in the next chapter w/ cheats on. I was like. Yeah sure go for it buddy. While holding back a big ol grin because it’s fucking 7-1. I only maybe really told him abt the basic mechanics in advance like how to shoot and how to punch/parry. It was extra fun when he thought the minotaur boss fight was over. Like. Surprise, bitch! Anyways yeah then i got him playing thru the game properly. Its been fun watching him so far actually he got to the end of 2-3 before tapping out bc he was tired. Do you know how much lore i got to ramble about. Do you. Win for me
#scov.txt#sorry for the longass rambly post#also i mean my ACTUAL brother. like. blood related legit sib#hes also WAY more confident than i am. up in fuckin cerberi faces punching them meanwhile theres me who stays as far away as possible#him preferring the shotgun whereas its the weapon i use the least. etc#i also p-ranked all of prelude finally and got most of limbo p-ranked (1-3 is LONG ok im doing that tmrw) so thats a win for me too#i got to express how mindflayer’s get pretty priviledge from me i got to tell him abt the horrors of humanity and war. etc etc#i also pointed out minos’ corpse during 2-2 and was like ‘you see him?’ ‘yeah?’ ‘hes a boss fight :)’#my brother is wholeheartedly the easiest guy i know to get into my interests. if telling him abt it doesnt work the. enticing him w/ -#- gameplay does. it’s amazing#*then enticing him blah blah blah. fixing my typo just specifying the placement#also the gabriel convo was like. i can’t remember how it STARTED but i remember how it got to the NIN thing#‘i think youd like gabriel tbh’ ‘i dont like robots-‘ ‘hes an angel’ ‘oh!’#also ‘i dont like robots’ um ok. robot game blast 💥💥💥💥#pretty sure he meant in a gay way but hey. robot game blast. learn the horrors of machinery boy

aftertaste. | welcome to the spice market
meet khosi wambui. an aspiring chef with something to prove. recently accepted into britechester's illustrious culinary simstitute (san myshuno campus), she's used all her savings to make the move and chase her dreams in the big city. 1 plane, 1 train, and 1 taxi later...she's finally arrived at her new home in the spice market. does khosi have what it takes to make it in the cutthroat world of fine dining or will the bitter aftertaste of defeat send her packing?
finally excited to post my new gameplay esp since my blog is fully back and i don't have weird restrictions. a little random but this gameplay was inspired by a combination of watching the bear (i know i'm late af), boiling point, and this amazing prompt for gen. 3 from @fruitysimsy and @hellohopesims, 'struck by love legacy challenge'. these all served as a lot of inspiration for me to set up a new save for this gp...excited to share more!
-d.
