I love it when the ninja do illegal shit. Get sent to prision for trying to free Aspheera to save Nya. Trespassing the tournament if elements because their dumbasses forgot the letter or whatever and didn’t know how to get kn.

do y'all ever think abt how fuckin lucky it was the Wu managed to find all the ninja- the elementals of creation??

Like yeah sure, he was friends with all of their parents, and hell probably even their grandparents- but all of their parents either died or had gone missing.

Hell- Jay's literally adopted and Zane's a fucking android. The chances of Wu finding them again was probably really fucking low.

Idgaf that Wu is like mostly a god with weird spirit smoke voodoo ass powers- the probability of him finding the elementals of creation again should've been close to zero.

Add to the fact that the ninja themselves probably would've never known that they could wield elements- unless they somehow, magically, unlocked their true potentials on their own, which yk super fucking unlikely-

Their elements would've died off with them. With nobody to teach them their elemental, they wouldn't know to teach their kids.

something that my tiny undiagnosed adhd child brain never noticed was just how little emily rodda gives a shit about things like "distance" and "travel speed" lol. like the first time i read the book i was 2.5 feet tall and couldn't even conceptualise a kilometer, but now i look at it and go "well either deltora's fuckin' tiny or the concept of a to-scale map just does not exist in this world".

crack theory: what if the abyss twin isn't a descender because they're an ascender?

Once I'm comfy with their designs (and also monster designs and how one of them plays because OC archetype and all that), I could probably start posting Ritual AU stuff,, don't know what I'd start with though =v=;;

hi! hope you've had a nice day today on the topic of sci-fi + fantasy, how do you feel about modern doom's more fantasy-inspired setting and lore and stuff compared to classic doom

i am having a pretty alright day, thank you for asking!

I don't have any complaints about modern Doom's fantasy aesthetic! It looks cool and lends itself well to the concept of an ancient warrior caste. Personally, I very much enjoy the World Spear level design, it's very pretty.

I wouldn't say though that classic Doom is without fantasy inspiration either, though it is more dark fantasy, with all the big stone carvings and ruined hell castle levels.

I am so torn on Fire Emblem Engage

some aspects of it look really cool but it just doesn’t feel like the Fire Emblem series I fell in love with

[jalluzas-ferney]

I just joined Tik tok again after like an year or smth cuz I wanted to find more edits of my fave shows and for my friends to be able to send my tim tons easier etc etc that’s not my point.

I noticed that the Ninjago community there hates Euphrasia WAYY too much 😭😭 and it’s getting very fucking annoying 💀💀

LIKE 😭😭 Why are are they calling her a “pick me girl” 😭😭 WHAT DID SHE EVEN DO💀💀 Everyone just pissed that “she’s replacing Morro” and it’s so annoying cuz- Morro fucking died 💀 it’s over 😭😭 look I dunno if when he died again he went to the departed realm or just disappears out of the phase of the earth but he wasn’t gonna keep his power anyways 😭😭 that’s just how it works 🦭..and if the case is that he went to the departed realm and there’s a chance for him to come back- then ok??? He’ll come back without his elemental power??? 😭 But then again I really doubt he would come back and y’all r simply gonna have to deal w that. Iike when an elemental master dies their power goes to someone else period. You can’t expect him to keep that damn power forever 😭😭 and it makes much more sense since it’s a new series- new generation of elemental masters. It’s not that surprising that they decided to find a new Wind master.

AND STOP CALLING HER PICK ME WHY DOES EVERYONE CALL HER PICK ME GIRL😭😭 srs what did she even do other than exist and just have morros “ex” elemental power😟

No, the art style is the same...it's just being shown on a better graphics engine. It's still the same style just a better quality version of it. Changing the way a character looks is not the same as changing the style of the art being used to portray that look. I do feel that the art direction for several characters changed between games. The style didn't change just their idea of what the characters looked like.

Cullen in Origins was designed rather...generically. He wasn't really made to look like a primary character and had a very NPC quality...because that's all he was and they likely hadn't expected to make him anything else at that time. When they decided to make him a true main character he was redesigned to have a more individual look.

Alistair doesn't actually change that much between Origins and Inquisition versions...and the one in DA2 just looks badly made but...I mean we're talking about DA2. A lot of it wasn't well made.

But....like...we have Varric in 2 and Inquisition. Recognizably the same character just...different gaming gen, different quality character models and texture renders but still the same style and recognizable character traits.

...then we have Veilguard and...uh...whoever this is where the only way we know it's Varric is because they say he is. If we were shown this character without voice acting and name dropping no one would have known who it was.

But like changes in character design aside it's mostly that the art style for Dragon Age has always been on the gritty realism side, common to most fantasy RPGs. Not necessarily dark but still it has that tone to it. Veilguard has removed that and made it very high contrast colors with a very smooth airbrushed texture quality to things which I personally don't care for, as well as taking a step back from realism to give facial features a bit of a semi realistic, almost cartoony, look instead rather reminiscent of other Bioware properties. It also reminds me of early World of Warcraft in that some features are dramatically oversized or over exaggerated.

Largely though change in art direction isn't what will determine whether this game is any good. After months of experiencing the mod community for BG3 the change in art direction doesn't really shock me since it seems a lot of people just really hate skin details lol. Ya'll seriously out here thinking visible pores on skin are blemishes that should be erased.

For me though...it just adds onto what is already being shown and that is that the game so far simply looks boring. So much of the games personality and soul feels erased. As smoothly airbrushed as the skin textures have been.

That's where the real problem lies. I hope it's better then what we've been shown once released but...my hopes are not overly high.

if you are complaining about dragon age veilguards artstyle being inconsistent with dragon age's overall artstyle then I know for a fact, that you have not played all the games. You are lying, because consistency?? in dragon age?? this is Alistar in all three games
