as my own direct immediate list of game grievances i hate that stardew valley expects you to side against a wheelchair user who is upset that he was moved without his consent. i hate that the mass effect trilogy gives you visible scarring as a direct result of choosing mean dialogue and heals it if you're nice. i hate that the vampire the masquerade ttrpg has a monstrous player class that can appear as horrible vampiric monsters or as visibly disabled people and both of these appearances are mechanically the same. i hate that dark souls games have a difficulty level implemented in a way that cannot be adjusted for disability. i hate that i can play as a mermaid or a werewolf or a horse in the sims games but can't use a wheelchair. i hate that the ace attorney games have so much flashing and not all of the games can disable it. i hate that disability is constantly something that happens to teach a lesson, i hate that disability is something that happens as a punishment, i hate that disability is either compensated perfectly with no drawbacks or something that is endlessly sought to be cured. i hate that no character customization will ever include the mobility aids i use, that the player avatars that represent me will never look like me. i am so goddamn annoyed and so goddamn tired.
-Commander Shepard and Javik battling for top billing with Blasto the hanar in a war propaganda film
-An anime style zoom in on the eyes of Traynor and her greatest rival over a match of space chess
-A scene where you have to manually press whatever buttons your system requires 183 times to beat James in a pull up competition
-A scene where the gang is trapped in a vault with limited air, while Shepard complains about the fact that no one told them how cheesy they sound when they talk
-Shepard forcing a hardened mercenary/bounty hunter to say 'please' when he asks for more change to beat the claw game in an arcade
-Shepard almost being assassinated in a sushi resturant, then being ceaselessly derided for falling through a fish tank in their escape attempt and getting everyone's favorite restuarant closed
-Potentially a sexy tango dance scene with a merc-killing vigilante turian
-The chance to rebelliously stick your hands under a decorative waterfall so many times that a staff member is like, 'fine, do what you want, but just so you know this waterfall is a hanar urinal'
-Shepard learning to play piano
-Shepard Accusing Kaiden of poisoning them Canada style
-A toothbrush that prevents a hijacking attempt
-Watching some good old fashioned telepathic sports and cracking open a cold one with the boys while the galaxy is in a shambles
-Wrex complaing that he's been having so much sex he's too exhausted to fight the Reapers
-Playing fetch with a skillet and a Varren
-Just two space divas drinking wine and talking about shoes
-"It's joking time."
Unironically, this is truly Bioware's finest work.
Yeah, obviously I got the lesbian Rarijack horses in Minecraft Pokémon. Who the hell do you think I am. Of course I did, who the fuck do you think I am.
It's his day to join the Hades AU! Happy Cody Day!!
""This weapon is your life" is what my general often said to lecture his old padawan during the war, and yet he constantly lost his. The lightsaber and his cloak... The things might be cursed. Not as much as yours, though."
"Please keep that thing far away from my kid."
Rex from down the hall: "Stop trolling the shiny as a way to cope, Cody!"
Cody: "I have nothing to cope with, this is just for fun. The Darksaber is definitely cursed and you know it."
Rex: "Oh yeah, it definitely is. Sorry kid."
Din is still trying to figure out how he counts as a "shiny" here
Backgrounds, as per usual, are screenshots from my latest attempts at a run in the Hades game. All I can do is add more pocket characters, I'm not gonna redraw the whole set TT^TT (but look, Din is holding a handful of green and brown pixels now!)
Last menu animation in the line 🧡
Now that those are out of the way, i'm back to creating new assets, then slowly moving on to making the trailer and some promo shots. The posters are also currently being redone with the new models, so they all look pretty n stuff. So slowly but surely, those will be up for sale soon as well
ooooh can i see something from "the one about gentleness"?
This one is a large/ambitious image, but here is a section. The idea behind it is “gentleness is a choice” — a major hc of mine for Cody in the RepGA fix-it AU, right alongside the “Cody as a military prodigy that could be (and occasionally is) terrifying”.
@lunaemoth @thepatchycat, since you wanted to see this one too (I’ll also address your second choice options, just wanted to include you here as well.)
