edit (10/23/2024) now that the poll is over: Original version, with 10 questions, from April 2023 here

And, given that the original is from April 2023, that means I can very easily say:

No, this was not an ISAT reference!

Just because I use parentheses and 2nd person pov and love the same concepts of what a time loop can do to a person doesn't mean it's ISAT

(Yes, I like ISAT, the original poll is why I was recommended the game! But if you look at the original, you can see all the origins of the options to choose from, including what spurred me on with the moss option from the replies)

If I were going to make something for ISAT, I would never be so vague, you can simply look at my ao3 for proof of that

actually there's a huge difference between queerbaiting/"Hey guys look how gay these two are haha they're definitely gonna end up together, give us views uwu oh- never mind oops they're going to superhell" and "Hey it's 2004-2012 and there's no way we can get away with having our protags/main couple be two gay men but we really want to show these two are soulmates so we'll do it through subtext and underlying messages and by literally telling you over and over again their relationship is the most stable and important in the entire show, and the ending will imply they lived and died together", and it's insane that some of yall don't see how these two are not the same fucking thing.

Me: I'm not sure if my health can withstand a commute. Should I try to go in tomorrow?

Apollo: no

Me: should I plan to work from home?

Apollo: no

Me: ...

Apollo:

Me: migraine?

Apollo: migraine.

update: peach is doing very well!! she's eating and sleeping normally (sleeping more than normal, really, but that's to be expected)!! after 3 days of not sleeping and a few changes in painkillers, she finally just napped for an hr then, after another day, slept through the whole night (and most of the next day). she's started following all her usual routines again and is very keen to eat! still on some painkillers, but they're not having any horrific side effects anymore

now that im not staying up to keep an eye on her all night (while also dealing with upgrading my computer and my phone and also my sister preparing to go overseas and the dogs barking and howling constantly due to all of the above), i finally got some decent sleep too and slept for about 14 hrs. so today ive got that weird shakiness that i get from sleeping too much, but hey it's better than the whole of the last week

I'm On Bethesda's Side For Once

interacting with more gamers due to Starfield made me realise there are people who think Skyrim is genuinely a masterpiece and that nothing Bethesda releases now could ever compare

this is hilarious because I always thought the consensus in the TES/Bethesda community was "Skyrim is a mid game that was saved by mods and fandom enthusiasm". but people ACTUALLY think base Skyrim is a masterpiece and they're mad at Starfield because they want it to be more broken and shallow like Skyrim

"I can do SO MUCH in Skyrim I barely can do anything in Starfield" and by so much they mean there's 8 different combat systems that barely function, and they would prefer 8 barely functioning combat systems, instead of a game that's more contained but is way more balanced and polished

Starfield is the first game in years where it feels like Bethesda actually put effort in and actually listened to fans, whereas Skyrim and FO4 were disappointing to anyone who had played FO3 and previous TES games. so many cut corners, such a bad job of balancing and implementing skills, so rushed, protag with no personality and barely any dialogue (Skyrim) or a voiced protag forced on you whose dialogue options were confusing, not intuitive, and still greatly limited (FO4)

Bethesda actually listened to these complaints. they brought back the unvoiced protag, they brought back depth and alternate choices even in mini quests, they made sure the combat and leveling system was contained, polished, and actually requires you to engage with it to keep leveling. all things we've been saying we wanted ever since Skyrim, but they're getting no credit for it and people are acting like Skyrim and FO4 were perfect and untouchable. lmao what

Starfield is also far from perfect. but it's a massive step in the right direction for Bethesda. their best game since Fallout 3. hands down. I feel like the only thing stopping people from admitting this is a combination of nostalgia and salt. because as much as gamers say we want new experiences, when devs actually attempt to give us that, we complain that it isn't like something else and harp on them about releasing a familiar title soon

I've rarely if ever been on Bethesda's side over the last decade but c'mon man. props where props are due

[my-reputation-precedes-me]

just played work at a pizza place on roblox again and the nostalgia is hitting so hard i’m probably gonna cry myself to sleep
