a/n: these scenarios might or might not be inspired from my irl experiences lmfao, hope you like it as much as i liked writing it &lt;3

svt x f!reader // headcanons // fluff // m.list words: 1.3k warnings: slight cursing

choi seungcheol

did someone say that his baby was hurting???? fully prepared with blankets, hot packs and soup to help your cramps; talked you out from your unhealthy cravings (coffee and dairy presumably worsen your cramps); used to be a bit clueless in the starting but did his research so that he could help you out <3 tries to spend his days with you and regularly texts you to see if you need anything. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR UTERUS IS COMING OFF?" calls 911.

yoon jeonghan

can see him teasing you for your foul mood and asking, are you on your period? on the days when you're just plainly... angry. he's eerily correct though (you usually get your periods in around 2-3 days after he quotes that hateful sentence), but is a sweet pie when you actually get them; he would take care of you, indulge in your cravings and cuddle you when you watch a series whether it be gore or the most slow burn shit you have ever seen <33

hong jisoo

he's so patient oh my god, the best one to have around to help your mood swings! he would patiently listen to your rant about how you tore the wrapper in a different way than you wanted to and then he would cheer you up??? like, oh god, marry me. he won't be clueless. at all. you're surprised that he knows so much about periods. "what do you mean coffee worsens cramps???" "yes baby, now put it down alright? I got dark chocolate for you." "you're the best<3"

wen junhui

boy makes you laugh so hard that you actually forget that you're on a period for a while lol. would cook and clean for you and gently kiss your forehead when you thank him for cooking so delicious meals; I can clearly see him calling you during shoots to ask if you need anything or if you're doing alright if he can't stay beside you (considering he travels a lot btw korea and china), would calm down your anger issues and it would almost seem like you both switched personalities. won't joke around too much because he doesn't wanna accidentally upset you, but he always and I mean always, does something so stupid that you end up cackling afterall.

kwon soonyoung

was clueless during the start despite having a sister; worked his way through research and observing you. you won't let him cook for you lmao, if you don't wanna cook you're ordering take out, but he's not cooking until he literally begs you to. but would gladly help you with other works, bringing groceries? buying sanitary pads and painkillers? stroke and play with your hair while you both cuddle together? all done. he doesn't do much but his presence calms you down, a lot. like really a lot. just him being near you is ibuprofen enough. "you sure you don't want me to do anything else?" "no... can you just hold me please?" "i will hold you for eternity <3"

jeon wonwoo

definitely tracks your periods, let's all your pre menstrual tantrums slide, will make you tea to calm down and educate you about periods, "apparently an average female spends nearly 10 years on her periods." feeds you food which helps relieve your period cramps. does every household chores if you're unable to do so, kisses your forehead amidst his work <3 oh also, would introduce you to cod/pubg where you can let go of your pent up anger (: "I WILL KILL YOU!" "you're doing great sweetheart."

lee jihoon

he's clueless, even more than hoshi. but he's smart so he caught up with it quite earlier than hoshi and you just didn't realise that he had zero and i mean ZERO idea about periods. like yeah he read about it in 8th grade but that's it, but would definitely be very attentive towards you and would spoil you with affection if that's what you desire. you just need to tell him what to do and he will do whatever you want. secretly buys your favorite food because your reactions are ten times more dramatic than normal and loves seeing you giggling because he did something nice. would get sad when you're not feeling your best though; can i do something to help uplift her mood? :(((

xu minghao

makes you green tea and asks you to meditate to calm your mood swings lmao. can see him trying his best to soothe you down by rubbing your back and playing with your hairs, gentle kisses on your cheeks as he urges you get up and take a hot shower and not act lazy. he's so prepared its almost scary than endearing. would also call you like three to five times while he's away... he would still not hesitate to calm down your delusions and force you back into reality from your sappy imagination. "i miss you :(" "i'm laying down right next to you." "i meant it figuratively!" "i miss my smart y/n too" "hey!!!!"

kim mingyu

be honest, you thought he was clueless right? he's not. not at all. he gets you hot towels to lightly soak your belly, gives you belly rubs, makes you soup, plays with your hair and massage your lower back to help your pain. you thought he was sweet? he's sweeter now! bam, you can't be mad at him anymore ahahahahaha. holds you close to him and runs his hand on your body; "I feel like shit gyu" "you're a pretty cute shit then"

lee seokmin

poor baby is clueless lmfao, you have to help him navigate through even basic stuff, definitely called you to ask your coochie's size because pads were available in different sizes. cooks you very delicious meals and fulfills all your cravings. your bad mood is not so bad anymore because he gave you his most radiant smile. his presence can heal you easily. "thought you felt sick?" "not now when you're here <3"

boo seungkwan

was sassing you out and then you started crying and then you revealed that you were on your periods and it all clicked. doesn't sass you, gossips! and gossips so much that you don't care about your cramps anymore! would sass other people to make you happy. takes care of you and regularly get you head pads for your aches, foot massages to make you happy <33 would definitely get sad when he sees you in pain tho :((

chwe hansol

man's chill as f and doesn't treat you any differently, while other members do tend to get a little cautious (more when you're bawling your eyes out after seeing a cat video), he won't treat you any different. he just kind of... adapts? you feel like shit? he does subtle things to make you feel good. you're emotional? hes there to be emotional WITH you. you want him to take care of you? no problem. he's there. always.

lee chan

please you can't not tell me that he was absolutely fucking clueless at first, was honestly scared when you lashed out on him for not picking up after himself and thought that you are always equally angry during your periods (who isn't lmao) he soon realised that you just have needs during that time and hormonal fluctuations just make you a little scary. would follow you like a puppy tho :( and carry out every single task obediently; would definitely wish to take away your pain. hes so sweet omg (would also ask your coochie's size)

some zb1 members as confessions i’ve received

₊˚⊹ genre: fluff | wc: —

₊˚⊹ warning(s): swearing | inspo: —

₊˚⊹ a/n: i found my notes rating these and i got this.. i changed like a detail or two to fit the scenario and member (+ no WAYY im writing it exactly how it happened 😭😭😭) this only includes yujin and gunwook for now!

not fully proofread yet!

you promised yourself that you’ll listen to class this time, but it seemed yujin had other plans instead.

“what?” you say exasperatedly as yujin keeps poking your arm with his pencil for the nth time, you don’t notice yujin’s slight smile as you’re too busy answering the textbook activity your teacher assigned. “shouldn’t you be answering too?”

“yeah, but i’m bored.” you roll your eyes at his response, “and you’re gonna be begging for the answers at what, two in the morning?” yujin chuckles at your prediction, to be fair he wasn’t in the mood in answering some math exercises at all, especially when you’re around.

but you don’t seem to budge right now to his frustration, he wanted your attention to be on him for the whole period, not on some dumb math questions. you could do that later, anyway. and that’s when he thinks of the perfect idea:

“hey,” he starts off.

“you wanna know who’s my crush?” yujin says, you perked up at the thought of finding out about such top information. and finally you have something to tease yujin about that’s not about him sleeping in class. yujin tries his best to hide his grin, perfect.

you put down your pencil, “who?” to which yujin hovers his hand over your own textbook, writing ‘you.’ with his god-awful handwriting. it took you at least twenty seconds as if it was some code that needed to be deciphered, when you finally understood you looked up at him surprised.

“really?” yujin nods and grins at you in response, you failed to notice his lightly red tinted cheeks while doing so. “you wanna guess mine too?”

taking your own pencil, you also wrote ‘you!!’ on the edge of his page. yujin’s grin grew even wider especially when you tried erasing it, trying to suppress a giggle as if you just did the most amazing thing ever.

and needless to say, your class was spent trying to hush up each other’s giggling and yujin finally got to bask in your attention for now and the days to come.

“you want ammo?” you hear gunwook’s extreme ass of a mic over your pubg game, you’ve been playing battle royale with him the whole night considering it’s a weekend the next day.

“i’m good,” you say after ransacking another house for loot, you could hear gunwook hum a bit before you start hearing his blasting fan over his mic. “someone’s here by the way, i’ll look for him.” he says, eventually getting a kill.

soon enough, you both won, with gunwook proudly flexing on you about having more than ten kills and saving you from enemies. “you’re lucky i even revived you after getting sniped that bad, if it was gyuvin i’d leave him there.”

“sure man, whatever you say.” you say jokingly, you’re not sure if gunwook got the memo since it became scarily quiet right after. even gunwook’s fan wasn’t heard and his mic could pick up any minuscule sound known.

“you’re cute.”

“..which fucking demon possessed you this time?”

it took a few seconds of silence before gunwook laughs breathlessly, almost as if he’s been holding that for the whole game. “i’m being serious. i didn’t wanna say that a while ago especially when you got sniped that—”

“oh shut up, i could’ve called you cute but i guess nevermind..” you tease, though you regret it right away when gunwook’s mic suddenly exploded with him saying sorry on repeat. you swore your ears rang the whole night ever since.

My Favorite Games of 2023.

Hi. Hello. Thanks ever so much for clicking on this page. Happy to have you.

First thing's first: I'm a little freak when it comes to video games. I don't feel the need to beat most games I play. From Software is one of my favorite studios in the industry and I've never finished a single one of their games. This means, fortunately, that I get to play a LOT more games than the average bear.

I've written up some blurbs about my top ten favorite games from 2023, but before that here's the list of every game I remember playing this year that left any sort of lasting impact on me (in no particular order):

Dead Space Remake Resident Evil 4 Remake F-Zero 99 Humanity Dredge Metroid Prime Remastered Anemoiaplois Alan Wake 2 Baldur’s Gate 3 LoZ Tears of the Kingdom Counter Strike 2 Hunt Showdown El Paso Elsewhere Jusant Slay the Princess| Remnant II The Finals Street FIghter 6 Lethal Company BattleBit Remastered Don’t Scream Homebody The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog Pizza Tower World of Horror Super Mario Wonder Mr. Sun’s Hatbox Fifa 23 Sea of Stars (Demo) Half-Life (25th Anniversary Update)

And the games I played that were NOT released in 2023:

Unpacking Persona 4 Golden Picross 7 The Order 1886 Shovel Knight Dig Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Spider-Man: Miles Morales Pac-Man Championship Edition DX Project Zomboid Quake LoZ The Minish Cap Drill Dozer Wario Land 4 Pokemon Pinball Resident Evil Revelations Summer of ‘58 Trackmania TwinCop We Were Here Visage Cursed Halo CE Half-Life 2 (I probably play this once per year) Witch Hunt Red Dead Redemption 2 Cyberpunk 2077 Borderlands 3 Brutal Legend Cultic Slay the Spire PUBG Rez Infinite Batman Arkham City Alan Wake Alan Wake: American Nightmare Max Payne LoZ: Majora’s Mask 3DS Metroid Prime Metroid Prime 2 Tunic Everhood Final Fantasy VII Final Fantasy VII Remake GOODBYE WORLD Yakuza: Like a Dragon Critters for Sale Dome Keeper Phasmophobia Hades Nintendo Switch Sports

Now that you understand the kind of freak you're dealing with…

Let's dive into my top ten favorite games from this objectively fucked up year.

10. El Paso Elsewhere Developed by Texas indie studio Strange Scaffold, El Paso Elsewhere is a Max Payne-clone with vampires, an opinionated narrator, and lots and lots of bullet time. As a small studio punching well above their weight class, Strange Scaffold leans into abstract, PlayStation 1 minimalism when it comes to visuals and pairs them with a soundtrack that will make your hands sweat. The vibes are here and they're ready for the end of the world. I'm personally also a big fan of everything this studio stands for.

9. Mr. Sun's Hatbox I want you to imagine Metal Gear Solid V. Now I want you to imagine that game as a 2D, level-based, slapstick platformer you can play with up to three friends. If you think that sounds stupid, you'd be right. And it's beautiful. As you build up a secret army of soldiers with various skills (and disorders), you'll start to develop *favorites*. This game constantly asks if you're willing to send those favorites on a harrowing mission and risk losing them forever… or if you'd rather send an idiot you recently captured who blinks constantly and can't kill anyone without fainting.

8. Dredge Every year I feel like I find one game that falls into the “just one more round” category, and baby… Dredge was it for 2023. As a weary fisherman in strange waters, you'll make the most out of your 12 measly hours of sunlight only for your daily voyages to inevitably pull you into the darkness of night, and night is when things get weird. Rocks emerge from the fog that you swear weren't there before, your equipment malfunctions, and you're pretty sure you just saw something in the water… something big. Despite only containing a small collection of islands, the world of Dredge manages to feel vast - perhaps vast enough to swallow you whole.

7. Resident Evil 4 Remake I was curious to see what sort of changes would be made to the timeless classic and father of modern 3rd person shooters, Resident Evil 4. I wasn't let down. RE4 Remake takes all the things that didn't age well about the original, tossed them out, and replaced them with only good things. And MORE things! It's campy, fun, and better than a game of bingo.

6. Jusant I really feel like this one didn't get the recognition it deserves. Jusant is a rock climbing game that combines the quiet contemplation of Journey with the mechanical specificity of Death Stranding. Unlike Death Standing, though, there is very little story to interrupt your flow. There are plenty of collectible bits to find for those curious to learn more about what happened before the events of the game, but the environmental storytelling does most of the heavy lifting. For me, the joy of the game comes from how it feels. Right trigger controls your right hand grip, and left trigger controls left hand grip. Plan your route, manage your stamina, and climb high above the clouds in search of answers.

5. F-Zero 99 This. Shit. Slaps. I've never been a big F-Zero guy, but this MADE me one. The “battle royale”, 99 player format is the perfect fit for the ruthless, high octane world of the game. Races last about three minutes, and friend, they are the most intense, white-knuckled three minutes of your life. The decision to make your boost meter the same as your health meter started in F-Zero 64 (I believe), and it is so much more HARROWING in this game when another player could side-swipe you mere meters from the finish line and blow you to bits. Sadly it's only playable via Switch Online, but it made me cheer, laugh, and scream enough this year to earn a spot in my top 5.

4. Alan Wake 2 Remedy makes weird games that also manage to exist in the AAA space and for that I will forever love them. Although Alan Wake 2 resembles a 3rd person shooter survival horror, I'd honestly say it's more of a narrative game than anything else. There's sidequests, there's puzzles, there's upgradeable skills, but at the end of the day the characters, world, and story are what kept me playing. If you haven't checked them out recently, you should definitely watch a story recap of the original games before diving into this sequel, but the wild swings for the fences this game takes are well worth that small price of admission. There's a god damn musical number, for Christ's sake.

3. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom I've really got nothing to say about this game that most people don't already know. It's incredible. The fact that Nintendo made a game that redefined an entire genre and then made a SEQUEL to it that ups the ante is remarkable. To be honest, I've only cleared the Rito, Zora, and Goron cities. I got a bit tired of exploring the depths and guiding Koroks to their friends, but I can't deny the sheer level of complexity and polish on display here. I saw someone on TikTok build a functioning Mecha Godzilla in this game. Good God. I've heard that the ending of this game is one of the best in the franchise, and if I'd seen it this year then it may have wound up higher on my list, but for the time being I'll continue picking up this masterpiece from time to time, chipping away at it until the day comes that I can finally smack the tits off thicc Ganondorf.

2. Half-Life (25th Anniversary Update) I know I'm gonna get shit for this, but I don't care. This year was the 25th anniversary of Half-Life and Valve released an update that made playing it (and it's online Death Match) much more accessible. I threw it on my Steam Deck out of curiosity, expecting to play for 20 minutes. I could not put it down. It is unbelievable how modern this game still feels. I simply had so much fun sprinting through the corridors of Black Mesa with a dozen weapons strapped to my back, blasting aliens and military Spec-Op chumps as a 24(?!) year old theoretical physicist.

1. Baldur's Gate III This game is fucked up, man. The sheer amount of writing in this game scares me. We can all talk about how BIG this game is, it deserves it, but the thing BG3 does better than any other role playing game I have ever experienced is actually encourage roleplaying. I've played through Act I four times now, with four different groups of friends, and it has felt fresh every time. I have seen the same events play out in so many different ways that it boggles the mind, but in every one of those play sessions I see players asking themselves “What would my lil guy do here?” rather than "what is the best thing to do here?" The game rewards players constantly for just trying shit and the D&D 5e rule set means playing like the character you said you were from the start leads to frequent Points of Inspiration. Maybe one day I'll see the end of this story (probably not), but I don't have to in order to feel a connection with BG3's world, characters, and most impressively, the characters I made myself.

Do you know who Awni El-Dous is?

A kid with a loving family, a lot of video games, and dreams.

One of those dreams is to become a Youtuber. He would upload videos of him playing his favorite games. Him killing it on PC games like CSGO and PUBG Mobile. He was very serious about this goal too, often coming to a distant relative of his for advice on how to make his channel better. Striving to become his competitor. Like many of us, he idolized creators that turned their passions and hobbies into careers. He wanted to be like them, having followers and fans.

Over the course of 2 years, he managed to reach one of his first goals of 1 thousand subscribers. Upon reaching this goal, he filmed a video on a bustling street in Gaza properly introducing himself & thanking those supporting him.

"So now folks, let me introduce myself: I am a Palestinian from Gaza, aged 12 years old. The goal of this channel is to reach 100,000 subscribers. And 500,000, then 1 million, and God willing to reach 10 million subscribers with your support and love."

Awni was one of the first casualties in Israel's ongoing genocide. Killed in a strike on October 7th, 2023. As the world learned about who he was and what he dreamed of, it came together to blow him past 1 million subscribers.

A popular Kuwaiti Youtuber by the name of AboFlah caught wind of this and discovered his instagram account in a video. His mouse wanders to the direct message button, hoping that he didn't know him.

You can see the exact moment he discovered that Awni absolutely idolized him. Sending him messages that he never saw.

In tears, he reads the messages that Anwi sent him.

"You're my role model and everything I wish for. I hope you never stop posting." "I swear, i love you and love your videos. Keep going, legend!" "Nothing compares to Palestine's winter in Gaza; the atmosphere is legendary. We're drinking sahlab. It's so good. We're also eating roasted chestnuts. I hope you come to Palestine. Much love."

After this, Aboflah would use this video to ask his followers to help Awni achieve his dream, even in death. Now, his comment section is full of celebratory comments congratulating him for reaching his goal, and mourning. Wondering why a boy like this had to die.

As i said before, Awni El-Dous was a kid with a loving family, a lot of video games, and dreams. Aboflah put it best. A lot of people see themselves in Awni. I absolutely do. I was uploading videos with the same dreams as him. I felt the exact same enthusiasm he displays in his descriptions, sharing his gameplay. Boy's no different than me.

As our (western) societies discourage supporting palestine in any capacity, talking about it is the least we can do. There's many stories like this. Palestine is full of people similar to you. I thought I'd share the story that resonated with me the most. There's probably one out there that will too. Just keep talking about these people, man.

R u that one Indian hacker that says “pubg mobile” ?

Tox: I get hyped to play some pubg. Try to land on a house. Parachute is stuck as my feet dangle over the flat roof bearing a mini 14. I cut away my parachute, hoping to hold the marvelous semi rifle in my hand. Suddenly my life flashed before my eyes as I soar past the roof after being teleported 30 seconds into the past without a parachute, hitting the ground. I emit a pained moan, yet I lost not health and I'm standing upright. Trying to move forward, but I'm stuck. My chest hits the ground as I look down at my ankles broken in 15 places, my healthbar flashing red. Atleast there is no beeping alarm sound for that, I think. I move up to the door, ever so slightly annoyed as two broken keyboard lie next to me on the ground. My hand reaches for the door. It doesnt open. use use use The door finally moves. It's in a quantum position. I can see inside, yet I can't move inside. I'm flabbergasted, gasping out "schrödinger, why have you failed me.." under my breath. Like a usb I use the door two more times to ensure it's finally right, despite there only being two options. I can finally enter, looking around on the bottom floor. Suddenly I hear footsteps, feeling like I'm in jurassic park, I run to the gun infront of me. A revolver with 15 bullets. Amazing. I pick it up and start reloading, only to see the ammo appearing in my pocket 5 seconds after I grabbed it. My revolver fits an incredible amount of 10 bullets before I decide to stop. The steps are really close and I'm almost positive he didn't hear my mariachi band of metal clanking bullets. Coming to think of it, where did they come from? The revolver was empty and I didn't drop anything. A foot appears in the door, my senses come back to the important part, the danger, the enemy. I can see his barrel and his foot in the doorway, waiting for him to enter my line of sight more before I start shooting. He's unarmored! What a miracle, I might just win this!, I think to myself, shooting him in the head. The bullet hits him right in the face as blood splatters from his leg. Suddenly he shoots back, towards the stairs. Yes, he's not even shooting at me! I think, catching some pellets in my face. Barely alive at 10 hp after he shot at me without even looking at me, which is quite rude to be honest, I make my last resort to running back to the room I found my weapon in. The door is still open so I can finally leave. He wont be able to get me out there with just a shotgun! Running for the kitchen I make it as he only just enters the room, shooting as I'm already behind the wall. I'm safe! Let's just get out of her- Killed by ngrf4gt with Shotgun. Better luck next time. I click the quit button and close down the game. My computer tries to revive itself from suffering under the most demanding game ever invented. I turn off windows after 5 minutes and go to bed. Don't worry, I think to myself for a year already, it's in early access, bugs are to be expected.

[vargamornight]

my partner likes to... exaggerate his compliments about my gaming skill, and while i appreciate the effort, most of the time my knee jerk reaction is to go "that is patently untrue" because. well. it is. i am not "a god" at pubg. i have played six games and killed four people. i am not "carrying" anybody. this is not "my shooter" i just can't die as often in lobbies where we don't see anybody for eight minutes in a row

also he's the one who tells me where to go and what to pick up and how and when to use items, without which i would get absolutely SMOKED immediately and forever

[raezinhell]

I miss gaming with the boys. I miss PUBG, Blackout, and Warzone! Blackout was by far my favorite, sucks that they didn't carry that over. I still remember my favorite PUBG play! It was me, my husband, his brother and my brother. They all got knocked down or killed and this dumb dude is just looting bodies! Knowing full well a team member was still alive, considering they were all nocked first and didn't immediately die! I ran round the building and crouched behind him, shot him in the back of head and we won! "Chelsea did you get him?" "I don't know what do you think?" WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER comes across the screen. Everyone is yelling "Fuck yeaaaah! Chelsea came in clutch! Pistol grip PUMP!" I will run from fire fight if I think I'm going to die, then come back to save the day. I was also always very good at picking people up in the most dire circumstances! Never leave a man behind!

"She would've been a medic in the war for sure!"

"Raezin coming in hot with the pickup, like she wasn't just getting shot at by 3 different teams!"

This Month's Fighters...

Tom Hansen vs Jacob Lee!

Conditions:

No other restrictions.

Scenario:

After successfully containing the Exocel outbreak, Hansen is assigned with stopping all future zombie virus outbreaks. To this end, he's sent to contain the outbreak on Callisto and kill the man supposedly responsible: Jacob Lee.

Analysis: Hansen

The ocean depths are a mysterious and dangerous place. At the lowest survivable levels of Earth's surface, strange creatures straight out of Lovecraft's nightmares evolved to survive the dark, cold, crushing depths of the ocean floor. And humanity was about to unearth some of its most dangerous creatures.

In the coldest parts of the Atlantic Ocean, Russian oil diggers discovered a new form of life within the ice they were mining. Exocels. Parasitic creatures that were completely uncategorized by existing scientific theories. Capable of overtaking the higher brain functions of their host and mutating them in response to dangerous external stimuli. Naturally, the crew of the Star of Sakhalin begain trying to weaponize these new creatures to sell for a profit. Predictably, it didn't work out. The ship was quickly overrun by mutant zombies and a distress call was sent out.

The call was answered by Tom Hansen, an officer of the United States Coast Guard who really wants to be Leon Kennedy. He and his crew were sent to rescue everyone on board, only to find everyone already dead or zombified. Narrowly surviving the massacre of his crew, Tom was left alone on the ship as the only thing stopping the Exocels from falling into the shadowy hands of the CIA.

Luckily, Hansen comes equipped with every weapon a survival horror protagonist could ever need. He comes decked out with the usual affair of pistols, shotguns, and automatic weapons, each laser scoped to ensure perfect accuracy. Even his standard M1911A1 can completely pop a human’s skull like it was made from confetti, to say nothing of his MP5, AK47, and Benelli M4. But all of that pales in comparison to his sawed off M79 Grenade Launcher to blow apart any Exomutant that gets hit by it, even shredding through Exo zombies that evolved specifically to withstand bullets and fire arms.

Tom would quickly adapt against the rapidly evolving Exocels, using a modified harpoon gun whose harpoons emitted a protein gas, allowing his shots to distract Exocels with delicious smelling harpoons. Perfect for luring them into a trap or grouping them together for a grenade. Hansen has fought through squadrons of Russian mercenaries, defeated invisible Exocel zombies, dodged a steel door that was blasted at him by an explosion, and survived getting infected by an Exocel that tried to eat him alive from the inside out twice.

With nothing but raw wit, determination, and witty one liners, Tom rigged the entire ship to blow with C4 and faced down the man behind the entire disaster. Kamsky, the mad scientist turned sentient Exomutant out to replace humanity with his zombified master race. Kamsky is strong enough to completely demolish a metal bridge just by jumping right through it.

Ultimately, Hansen defeated Kamsky, blowing the Star of Sakhalin to pieces and exterminating the Exocel threat once and for all.

Analysis: Lee

Space. The Final Frontier. A place only fit to be explored when all other options are exhausted. When the Earth has no more life left in it and humanity has no other place to go. It is a hellish, lifeless void incapable of even carrying your screams. It is the graveyard of the universe and in no other world is this fact more apparent than the hellish world.... of PUBG.

....What's that? That got retconned? The Callisto Protocol isn't canon to PUBG anymore? Fuck. Alright, fine. In no other universe is this fact more apparent than the hellish world of The Callisto Protocol.

Humanity is struggling to survive in space after all other options have been extinguished and Earth's resources have been used up. Without the means to leave the solar system, crime and poverty are rampant across human society, forcing down on his luck space trader Jacob Lee to turn to some ethically questionable lines of work. He strikes up a deal with the United Jupiter Company to smuggle some illegal cargo to Jupiter's moon Callisto. This results in him getting hijacked by The Outer Way, a terrorist group fighting against the UJC, which then results in him crash landing on Callisto. This gets him thrown into the supermax prison Black Iron for illegal smuggling.

Thankfully, he isn't there long, as a riot begins not long after he's thrown into his cell. Unfortunately, the riot was caused by a zombie outbreak. The warden had discovered a super virus called the Biophage deep within Callisto and, believing it's adaptive properties would allow humans to better survive in space, unleashed the virus on all the inmates and ordered the security drones to kill everyone as a way of testing it. Now, Jacob must desperately fight for his survival in a prison where everyone and everything wants him dead.

Luckily, he stumbles across quite a few useful gadgets while on his way out. His armored space suit allows him survive the hellish conditions of Callisto's surface, where the temperatures can get as low as -139.2 C°. His prison shiv, crowbar, and electric stun baton allow him to pummel the infected up close, even against monsters strong enough to rip off heads, crush skulls, and rip human beings in half. Final Transmission gives him the Kinetic Hanmer, a massive hammer that can store and charge up kinetic energy to make his swings hit even harder. His Hand Cannon is a nifty side arm with an alt fire that fires explosive rounds, while his tactical pistol comes with a burst fire mode. His skunk gun shotgun fires homing rounds, his riot gun shotgun fires explosive rounds, and his assault rife fires smart bullets, advanced homing rounds that can maneuvers themselves around obstacles while tracking down their targets. And each of these guns is powerful enough to pierce the metal alloy of Black Iron's security drones, who are strong enough to effortlessly rip the titanium doors off spaceships. But Jacob's most advanced weapon is his Gravity Restraint Projector, a drvice on his arm that manipulates gravity to allow Jacob to effortlessly lift heavy objects and even people. He can throw you off a cliff or into a wall of spikes with just a wave of his hand.

His arsenal isn't entire good, though. Jacob suffers from what I like to call Gordon Freeman Syndrome, where his perfectly serviceable space suit and armor doesn't have a helmet. Only Jacob's is worse because he DID have a perfectly good helmet, he just took it off for no reason. And secondly, there's the CORE device strapped into the back of his neck. While it does monitor the health status of all prisoners at Black Iron and make him compatible with their Health Injectors, which Jacob can use to rececitate himself even while his heart is stopping, it also exists to monitor his memories. Meaning Jacob is frequently getting flashbacks and suffering from severe hallucinations as a result of his CORE device fucking with his head.

Despite all of that, Jacob is still a survivor. Even as the Biophage zombies evolved to match his tactics, Jacob powered through. Sneaking past blind zombies who had developed echo location and shooting out the weak spots of Zombies who grew hardened skin to resist his bludgeoning. For better and for worse, he's willing to do whatever he has to ensure his own safety. To the point that the breakout at Black Iron was actually his fault, as the illegal cargo he was carrying for the UJC turned out to be the Biophage pathogen. Realizing that he's indirectly killed thousands in his selfishness, Jacob works to undo the harm he's done, working with The Outer Way to reveal the Warden's corruption and ultimately giving his life to ensure the solar system knows about all that happened at Black Iron.

Throwdown Breakdown:

I think this one is pretty open and shut.

While Hansen's actual military training does make him the more skilled fighter of the two, his arsenal is more grounded. Most of his weapons are standard fire arms, with the exception of the protein harpoon gun made to distract Exocel zombies, which would logically not work on an ordinary human being. This is compared to Jacob Lee's much more varied arsenal of sci-fi guns, literally decades more advanced than Hansen's.

In a contest of hand to hand combat, Hansen would dominate. In a straight fire fight, Hansen would outmaneuver Jacob and pop his exposed head off. But the issue here is Jacob's superior technology. The kinetic hammer is bulky emough that Hansen can easily dodge around it, while the stun baton would struggle to get through Hansen's incredible pain tolerance. However, the Gravity Restraint Projector could easily throw Hansen back before he can get the upper hand or potentially even allow Jacob to ragdoll him to death right there, mitigating Tom's skill and training advantage. As for a fire fight, Jacob's homing bullets would simply go around any cover that Tom tries to exploit and hit him in the brain before he outsmart Jacob, while the Gravity Restraint Projector would let Lee through his grenades right back at him.

In scenarios where Tom wins this, he does so by ambushing Jacob before he can react and quickly subduing him with his superior training. In most situations, however, he wouldn't be able to due to his lack of familiarity with Jacob's technology, as no such tech exists in his universe. And once Tom did realize the threat Jacob posed, it would be too late, as his more grounded arsenal doesn't give him the tools he needs to counter them.

This Throwdown's Winner is...

Jacob Lee!

Next Time...

Do you still play Fortnite? What do you think about the current season? I hate the ballistic shield and I wish it'd go away.

It's funny getting a "do you still play Fortnite?" ask basically a month after I wrote a big post about Fortnite's "metaverse" reboot. I also run a side-channel that at this point is like, 25% stream vods and 75% Fortnite clips.

But that was a month ago. We've had patches that have changed some of the stuff I talk about in that article.

I... like this season a lot more now that they upped the movement speed. You aren't quite as fast as you were in old Fortnite, but you're fast enough. The way this chapter launched, it felt like player movement was SO sluggish, and like I said in my big post, the fact that outrunning the storm was a major problem felt super weird to me. I think I also said this in the post, but it's like a completely new team came in and un-solved a lot of old problems, only to find they then had to re-solve what they broke.

I don't mind ballistic shields all that much, but you're also talking to a guy whose first Counter-Strike game was Condition Zero. A shield guy can be annoying to deal with, but I'm also usually a shield guy. And shield guys are not invincible, let me tell you. Especially not here, with them having shields stagger after you take a certain amount of damage.

What's getting to be frustrating to me are snipers. Again in keeping with "unsolving problems that were already solved", Fortnite kind of developed a silent rule that guns probably shouldn't do 200 damage (the maximum amount of health and shields). They even started getting cheeky with it -- I remember sometimes there have been guns that deal 190, 195, even 199 damage. There was one particular mythic super-gun one season that I seem to recall dealing 201 damage on a headshot; literally one 1hp over the maximum health limit.

The current chapter 5 sniper rifle at orange (max non-mythic) rarity does like 290 damage on a headshot. Even in Zero Build, where they give you an extra overshield buffer, this thing will punch through all shields and all health and is a guaranteed one-shot-kill if you nail your target in the head.

I think they made it that strong because of the new bullet drop mechanics they've been slowly introducing. Bullets react to physics and naturally fall over long distances now, theoretically making it harder to hit people because you have to account for time and gravity. All that really means is that once the pros adjust to that, they have lots of easy cannon fodder, because even a blue rarity is enough to put down most players.

So I'll be walking, not another soul around me, it's totally silent, and I'll just drop dead out of nowhere because some dude 200 meters away clocked me with his sniper rifle. I had full shields, full health, but this guy has a combined 40,000 hours between Fortnite, Call of Duty, and PUBG, so I guess I don't deserve to exist in the same zip code as him.

And -- AND! Whereas the previous super-powered rifle (the Heavy Sniper) was a one-shot-per-clip gun, meaning you had to unload and reload a new bullet every time you pulled the trigger, this instantly-kills-you-dead rifle has a three shot clip. Not instantly dead on the first shot? You have two more chances to get it right. Absurdity.

Also I think the attachments system is still stupid, what they did to wraps is still awful, and the new locker system continues to be an absolute travesty. At best, a lot of Chapter 5's new features feel not ready to launch and totally half-baked.

But BR is in an okay state right now, I guess. I wish and hope the map evolves over the course of a season like it used to, though. I miss the days of hunting gnomes and bears, or seeing what the rock family was up to, or tracking the progress of different vehicles as they moved across the map.

So, just a few days ago, it was announced that the Switch 2 will be nearly 500 dollars. This still pales in comparison to what it costs to have a whole entire PC, but hold up a second. Not only will the console cost you 500 dollars, but the digital edition of games will be 80 dollars, and the physical copies wil be 90 USD, on a case-by-case basis (apparently). As we all know, the last studio that did something like this, caused a cascade that made nearly every new title 70 bucks. But, there’s something all of them are ignoring.

It’s quickly becoming apparent that owning a PC or a console is something only people with extra, or lots of money will be doing, in the extreme near future. Especially if Nintendo is successful in pushing standard edition games to 80 and 90 dollars. As if we’re all made of money while the economy is tanking far past the toilet, and into hell itself.

But, I remember a time when I used to buy multiple games per month. Now I buy a single game every couple months, or maybe two if I’m feeling like I don’t care. Maybe more if they go on sale at steep discounts.

This isn’t how it used to be.

But, I wanted to talk less about the rising prices of games without any thought for the people who buy them (because who cares if we price out an entire class of people from an art form), and more about the thing that all of these studios and publishers are ignoring.

You can play perfectly fun, good, and highly detailed games on your phone, and … for free.

That’s right.

We’re no longer in the era of Candy Crush being a staple of mobile gaming.

You can play Call of Duty on your phone, without spending a single dime. Which is hilarious. The studio that brought you microtransaction-shooter-hell, that releases with a new title every 6 months at 70 to 100 bucks, also gave you a way to play the same exact thing, for free, on your phone.

Not only that, but you can play a game that’s basically a copy-paste of Breath of the Wild, for FREE (Genshin Impact).

Don’t like either of those?

Phones got Minecraft, also. And it’s free.

Or maybe you’d prefer Runescape.

No? How about the entire native Warframe experience?

Or even PUBG!

The thing is, I think a lot of these studios are banking on the idea that most gamers (see: people who play games) don’t take phone gaming seriously. But, why shouldn’t they?

You can whip out a cheap adapter, and plug an HDMI cable into a 200 dollar Android, and play on your TV, with a wireless controller.

Or, you know, you can just … hold your phone, and play while laying down, on your back, in your comfy bed, and pop off forty straight kills in a CoD team deathmatch.

But hey.

Hey.

Maybe you would prefer to spend 150 dollars on the next Call of Duty title for your 700 dollar console. Or your 2000 dollar PC.

Is it time to take mobile gaming seriously?

Bro, most of us are already taking it seriously.

Idea Generation

Idea One:

For my first idea, I'm thinking of making a game where you have to launch the player from planet to planet. The game will have a bar showing what direction the player will get launched in that lerps from 1 point to another. Control-wise, the player will only have one button to hit to launch themselves when the bar lines up with the planet. Here's a little visualization:

An alternative idea is that the player will be circling the planet and has to launch when they are between the two:

I could always do a combination of both however. The game would obviously take place in space; this leaves my room to use gravity as a unique mechanic where the player may be drawn into blackholes or stars that kill the player. This idea is inspired by Angry Birds Space, as gravity is used in a similar way.

This game would be endless, with planets spawning above the player after they've landed on a new one, and the player would receive score for each planet landed on. The game ends when the player misses their launch or is sucked into a star/blackhole.

To add extra difficulty, the player might travel faster around the planets as their score increases - or they might only have a certain amount of time before the planet they are on blows up.

I like this idea as it is a very simple concept that has a lot of room for expansion. This would also be very accessible as sound wouldn't be a fundamental aspect and the player only has to hit one button. Because of the fact the controller is a single button, I will start with the prototype first and make the controller after.

I think the controller would fit this type of game as both controller and game are made to be as simple as possible.

Idea Two:

For my second idea, the player has to balance a ball on a seesaw that is controlled with the player's phone's gyroscope. Tilting the screen left to right puts weight on that side of the seesaw, making the ball roll down.

I like this idea as the controls are simple and can be used by most and it is more creative than just having buttons on either side of the screen.

By itself, this would be way too easy; so the player would have to dodge incoming shapes falling from the top of the screen. The player would have 3 lives and being hit would lose them a life.

Like my previous idea, the game would be endless; only finishing when the player has lost all 3 lives. The player would gain score periodically and when they dodge a shape.

This idea again, isn't that complicated (although learning about how to read the phone's gyroscope might be tricky) but gives me some good room to add new features. Unlike my previous idea, I will be designing the controller / gyroscope controls before anything else. This shouldn't be too difficult as I have dabbled in mobile game development before.

I came up with this idea by playing around with Unity's physics system in 2d, then wondered how it would be if I had to constantly control the ball on a seesaw or something else where weight is applied to one side.

The whole seesaw/weight mechanic would work well using the gyroscope as it would be like the player was actually using the seesaw in real time.

This Video here shows how the gyroscope is used in mobile games such as pubg:

This video is a little more related to my game, as it is about a ball and using the gyroscope to control it:

Idea Three:

I really want to make this project use at most 1 button, so for my next idea; the player controls a floating hand that they have to use to crush bugs. The hand would lerp from side to side and smash down when the player hits a button.

The bugs will walk onto the screen from the sides and hang around a bit before walking off. The game will be made of rounds where each round the player has to bash a minimum number of bugs to progress to the next round otherwise they lose.

The player will receive score based on bugs bashed and rounds progressed. There could be different bugs based on the round that could impose different challenges (like moving really quickly or taking multiple hits to kill).

Compared to both my other ideas, this one is a lot simpler as I want to make the core game play and have time to add more to it (which for almost ALL my other projects (other than my beloved Ten) didn't happen).

The controller I'm imagining could be a big red button the player has to smack as if they were smacking the bugs themselves, plus it would be accessible like the first idea. And again, since the controls would just need changing to the button, I would definitely start with the game player instead of the controller first.

Inspiration-wise, I wanted to make a simpler version of this game I had seen before, however I just can't remember what the game is called. It looks a like a mixture of this:

I am kind of using the base gameplay from this game where instead of the pick spinning around a lock, it just a hand at the top of the screen:

When it comes to shooter games, depending on the genre and game, they can be quite fun! I've played several, mainly Halo Infinite, Splitgate, Titanfall 2, Team Fortress 2, and a couple battle royales like Apex Legends and PUBG. I've lately been intrigued by the tactical shooter genre. Slower-paced shooters that require tactical thinking instead of map knowledge and fast pacing. There's a channel I've been watching that really takes that genre professionally, the military way (even to the point of role-playing). While watching their videos, and playing some games, something started to tug at my mind. And lemme pitch this take. A vast majority of us get a jolt of satisfaction when we take one from the other team, and that hype heightens when it comes to chain kills. While we revel, the other side suffers in a few areas. I mean, I hate it too, being on the receiving end of a quick-scope. Most times, you can respawn. But what about in real life? Say you were out there, and you were fatally shot by someone. And they're cheering about it! Now say you were out there, and you fatally shot someone. And you cheer about it!

Replace that victim you shot, with either your best friend, or a copy of yourself. And that person isn't coming back. No apologies or a "We good bro?" phrase. You'll never see that person again. I've been starting to feel that way, and that's why I've strayed from most shooters where other players are the targets. This feels a little more convicting as I'm also striving to follow Christ, trying to be a good example of a Christian. I have no problem dishing out bullets to robots like either Helldivers 2 or Generation Zero, but to other players humans? I say this so as not to get the mentality of pleasure if, Lord-forbid, I take a life. I never want to take a life irl, so why should I train myself to do it in a game? It's food for thought, and I thought I'd pitch that out there.

Are korean free to play shooters a byegone era?

Are korean free to play shooters a byegone era? Really popular games like AVA, Sudden Attack, Operation 7, War Rock, Combat Arms, CrossFire. All these games pulled in a huge audience from Korea/America/Brazil. All these games were so much fun (and they were free) With games like CS2 being f2p now and games like COD Warzone, pubg, fortnite ect. All being free to play. You never hear about those amazing korean shooter free to play games anymore. Are they still a thing on PC? Or did they all move over to mobile? korean shooters were oddly satisfying to play beacuse they always had kill sprites for when you killed someone (double kill, multi kill, fantastic) ect. CrossFire and combat arms having the best ones imo. I just learned about some chinese clone of CSGO that's been really popular lately (because everyones getting fed up with CS2's current state) and it's clearly a CSGO clone but with different weapons and all the same maps you know and love but slightly altered. So it got me wondering if these chinese/Korean/brazil clone games were still a thing. Because I Know that most of them died out, combat arms and ava still pulls in some players, but not many anymore (but not surprising considering they're almost 20 year old games) Submitted October 22, 2024 at 10:32AM by ZooterTheWooter https://ift.tt/OwNGtKV via /r/gaming
