#Old Ass Gamer

[nikkeisimmer]

I'm an Old-Ass Gamer

I can still remember my bugging my parents for quarters for the arcade at 9 years old wanting to play Galaxian and Asteroids. And I could play those games for hours if I had enough money. But we were the first generation of gamers that grew up on vector line games with minimal graphics and having to rely on mostly our imagination as far as getting any sort of fun out of a game that looked like a collection of squiggly lines.

Then along came a coin-operated Star Wars game in 1983 - which was my first foray into playing anything related to Star Wars.

This was my first chance to pilot an X-wing and even though those graphics were just squiggly lines and filling it in with my imagination, "I was Luke Skywalker" going after the Death Star".

Now we have games like the Sims 3...

...with mods...they look almost "human". This kind of game I couldn't picture back in 1983 as a 13yr old hanging out at the arcade in between algebra class and homework - that I would be able to play with characters that I've grown attached to and my literary creative side keeps seeking to write stories about.

The Star Wars game I play now is vastly different from the arcade game I played back in 1983.

Even though this game (Star Wars the Old Republic) is set in an era long before the Galactic Empire and Palpatine even were a thing - it is Star Wars, with lightsabers, Jedi, Sith and all sort of other characters and retain the feel of Lucas's Star Wars that we love and miss (at least I do. I don't find Disney's offerings worth watching). There's even space combat which I still find difficult. So I stay away from the "Starfighter" portion of SWTOR and play with my Jedi, Sith, Trooper, Bounty Hunter, Imperial Agent and Smuggler.

The Flight Simulator II that I remember flying in my youth on the Apco (Apple IIe clone) computer,

...has turned into...

or

These are games that I couldn't even conceive of in my youth playing vector line graphic games and it shows just how much computer graphics has changed in 45 years.

I don't have the ability to be able run inZoi on my current computer. But I'm eager to see how far the boundaries of computer gaming graphics gets pushed over the next twenty-five or hopefully thirty to to forty years I have left to walk on this earth. You kids are gonna have it so lucky.

Megatron is an old man and I love him so dearly

I can't be trusted. When I refer to "my babygirl" it could one of four people (and six entities)

A 16 year old boy

A ~15 year old girl

A plant

A grown ass man with a drinking problem

An agender ghost

A fat yellow dinosaur

So water ghouls have fins and webbed fingers and earth ghould have hooves, what's fire ghouls physiqe? Or air ghouls? Do they have wings? Wouldn't that make them like angels, what they certainly don't want to be affiliated with?

(feel free to ignore this i just love ur art and worldbuilding 🙏👍 take care)

Dear Stranger, I hope you're taking care too.

Not all earth ghouls have hooves. Mountain just happens to, because I like mountain goats, and it makes sense to me that someone who doesn't like wearing shoes would have hooves. My quintessence ghoul oc Bismuth also has hooves, actually. No reason other than I like the design, and variety.

Air ghouls do have feathers, or a lot of them do, not all of them. There's always exceptions. But I wouldn't equate feathers to angels. There are plenty of examples throughout history of monsters and demons being depicted with feathered bodies and wings.

Angels don't make sense to look at. They mess with the mind in ways that a demon could, but not with their mere presence. A ghoul would be terrified if an Angel came down to earth without a vessel to hide their true form. There's a reason angels always start a conversation with "be not afraid."

I don't have a set of traits that fire ghouls specifically share yet. Not even for Alpha or Ifrit (who doesn't have a design yet.) Perhaps their elements are just a little easier to hide. Or they have lighter color of horns, compared to other ghouls.

This gaming series has always had a special place in my heart for more reasons than one.

In middle school and high-school it was my shit played more co op than campaign in college cause I had a solid group of friends I'd hop on with.

But as a military brat I got the biggest crush on Mactavish when I was a tween, irritated the hell out of my bf at the time to the point he'd start snarky arguments about how I gush over a scottsman when his Irish ass is right there granted we'd laugh about it cause I'd point out how stupid it was that he's getting bent over a video game character, his ma would even join in saying just wait maybe an actual Scottish boy will swipe me from him.

As much as he gave me shit over Soap certain parts of the game hit him hard too.

We mutually broke up before high school, still hung out and gamed together but he decided he was going to join the army after graduating and didn't want me stuck worrying constantly, even though I expressed my interest in joining the marines like my dad.

That started up a whole new 'dig at each other' playfully of course both of us came from military families him strictly army me a mix of marine, army, and navy.

Dad was against his only baby girl joining the military and I just said alright ill just do some form of art than, ended up taking international culinary courses and cosplay ended up unironacally making military friends regardless.

You'd be surprised how many service men and women I've met in the cosplay community not to mention lawyers and doctors, even dentists it's wild honestly but it's neat, and some of them would play with me on CoD just to keep in touch. We'd joke and shit on each other and shit on the occasional teams that would be toxic in the lobby after losing the match to a team mixed with chicks and guys and would scream hacks.

Long and short of it this game is a staple in many special memories for me. It isn't just a game I play for the fun of it, I've made friends, connections and sometimes we all hop on just to chat in the lobby not even going into game. We would just sit cracking jokes and go back and forth if we wanted to hop in a match and go naaaaaaaaaah not tonight, got work or nah I have morning classes or mmm gotta be at base early or I would, ect you get the idea life stuff.

Now I'm back in it watching my friend that's never played a shooter in her life enjoying co op and the campaign and its the best thing to see.

She's a Konig girl and gets shitty that he's not in it much and me and my other pal just laugh and tell her he wasn't in the old games much either, nothing new better get used to relying on the simping fandom for her Konig material.

She even went and started a fanfiction and asks me all kinds of questions, although she had the audacity to call Ghost mean and I'm just like girl how dare 😤

Seriously don't know why people think he's mean, clearly they haven't heard his glorious dad jokes dudes just a hardened soldier.

But she adores Soap too so we chat often about him or she'll gush about Konig or send me mass GhostSoap pictures and I'm just like wow you found that side of the Fandom took you long enough 😆

Even my military hubby joins us cause he grew up playing the games too. Imagine his suprise one year when he came home from a deployment catching his wife playing CoD not knowing I even had an interest in the game.

That was a fun conversation our first year married.

Sat and watched him start the new campaign last night and I was so frustrated that he purposely would get Price killed just to rile me up (even detonated himself at one point) before restarting the mission and say 'imma do it again' only for me to tell him to leave the old man alone and actually do the damn mission.

Sorry not sorry felt like reminiscing, tis the season of recalling fond memories.

Bro, your rambles n shit, whether it be in the tags or a separate post, IS ALWAYS. ON. POINT. I'm genuinely always so interested to see what you have to say about stuff- that sounds lame- But I don't care! 😤😤😤 you're hella cool 👍👍

(sorry I got to this so late I’m really bad at remembering to reply to things fjdjdjjsb)

thank u so much :’) especially as a relatively new Yakuza Enjoyer im always glad to see that my takes aren’t totally out of left field and I just have. a lot of takes. if you like what i ramble about youre in luck because my brain never shuts up <3

[muttfangs]

the leftist MMO-enjoyers perpetual dilemma of "I love this old game because its so unique and strange and thoughtful" vs "I fucking hate the playerbase"

[roychewtoy]

seein a couple of mutuals p5 postin the last few days... layin on the couch today 50 minutes deep into a 10 hour beneath the mask with rain video.... i can't go back...

[alteredsilicone]

Before I go to bed I'm gonna bring you my hot warframe take: "end game" the way most people understand it doesn't work for warframe so I genuinely wish DE would focus more on quest/story content or events...

like literally the masses need distractions between grinds and different gimmick events based on seasons and celebrations where you can't use your full warframe arsenal (think Dog Days) would be a good distraction and give that illusion of "difficulty" (a lot of people liked Drifter segments during TNW because you weren't as OP so... maybe Duviri will bring us that idk)

[mmmthornton]

anyway, fuck Game Grumps AND their "lovelies".

Kinktober Masterlist!

Day 1 to 10

🎃 Naughty but mine; when you misbehave at a house party, your boyfriend Taehyung gives you exactly what you’ve been asking for.

🎃 Highly inappropriate; you, Taehyung and your best friend and Tae gf’s Aerum are high af one night.

🎃 Babymaker; you want a baby, but you just broke up with your boyfriend... but luckily your friend Jungkook is here to save the day.

🎃 Special preparations; you go to a piercing shop to get a clit piercing but your piercer Jungkook has an interesting way of prepping his clients.

🎃 Silent watch; your bodyguard Jimin is standing right outside your bedroom door when you moan his name as you play with yourself.

🎃 Good at sharing; your boyfriend Jimin invites you over for movie night, however it becomes painfully clear that his roommate Jungkook has a crush on you.

🎃 Their pleasure; your only job is to serve Taehyung and his wife.

🎃 Teach me; you want to learn how to give blowjobs so you ask your best friend’s brother Taehyung to teach you.

🎃 Like old times; in the past, you and your best friend enjoy spending time together by having threesomes, now years later you reconnect and this time she offers her husband Jungkook.

🎃 Strictly business; your boyfriend Taehyung might be a tough and important guy at the office but at home he's just a subby boy who only wants cuddles and finds comfort in your nipples.

Day 10 to 20

🎃 Make me see stars; your friends bring you to a special show starring stripper Jimin, but you get more than a lapdance from him on stage.

🎃 All onboard; when pirate Jungkook wants you, he wants you right now, even if it’s in front of the sailor men on his ship.

🎃 A special class; you bring your best friend Taehyung to a special class.

🎃 Told you so; your friends don’t believe you when you brag to them about how Jungkook’s dick makes you see stars, so you show them.

🎃 Waves of pleasure; you meet a blonde hunk named Taehyung at the beach who invites you over to his van for some special alone time.

🎃 Give it to me now; angry about your doctoral thesis, you decide to decompress on your gamer boyfriend Jungkook’ cock.

🎃 Code blue; your friend with benefits Jungkook had a horrible first date so you milk him dry until he forgets all about her.

🎃 Wet deck; on a yacht with the maknae line, you start fucking them— not caring who sees.

🎃 Seven minutes; Taehyung and Jungkook send you to heaven in a spooky encounter at your neighbour’s Halloween party.

🎃 VIP treatment; every concert, Hybe staff search for the sexiest big tits and ass fan, to bring to the green room for a fun time with Taehyung and his friends.

Day 20 to 31

🎃 Knock out; after winning his last fight and being sexless for a week, Jungkook gives his girlfriend the most hardcore fuck ever.

🎃 Please please please; your needy and whiny boyfriend Jungkook begs you to ride him while he cannot stop praising you.

🎃 Sweet revenge; after your husband cheats on you, you decide to take revenge by sleeping with father-in-law jungkook.

🎃 Admit it; your friends get tired of seeing you and Jungkook beat around the bush, so they give you a little push.

🎃 A special party; when your friends organize a surprise bachelorette party you did not expect to get railed by stripper Jungkook.

🎃 She a fan; idol Jungkook takes a girl home and to his surprise, she has the logo of his group tattooed on her arm.

🎃 Mr perfect; you test out the hyper realistic humanoid robot named Jungkook you and your research team have created, it’s all for science, right?

🎃 Lucky girl; you caught the eye of your favorite idol Jungkook and he takes you to a hotel room.

🎃 Halloween party; after being invited by your friend to the 18+ Halloween party in town, you get fucked by three hot guys.

🎃 This is not a drill; your boyfriends are back from military service and you’re eager to catch up what they missed.

🎃 Succubus hotline; one lonely halloween, you try out your luck by calling the succubus hotline, thinking it’s just a silly prank.

[c6h5]

social anxiety is fucked it will just have u feeling like ur acting SO weird and insane and embarrassing when you’re trying out furniture at the furniture store like everyone else ever. What

[clownsuu]

What does a clown do when someone steals his identity?

…The ‘clownsuu’s.

LMAOO HEHEH this gave a big ol giggle, thank u my guy, take some random ass doodles I was able to scrub up—

Not a new character (a old one in fact- some of y’all may actually remember xem) but I had a undying (pun not intended) urge to draw my lil vampire goober as a muppet (and xem xemselves-)

for newer gamers, this is Xi! Xey go by xe/xem/xeir (xey don’t mind they/them, but prefers xe/xem)
