Oh man, I actually haven’t been this mad at bioware in years lmao (see my last reblog if you’re seeing this without context somehow). It’s oddly refreshing. Almost comforting even. Like ah, yes, of course they did something stupid, that’s just the world working as it always has. Sky blue, water wet, bioware making an absolutely massive fumble that fills me with burning rage. Normalcy
#I’m trying so hard not to make up my mind about it based on pre-release info but. damn this ones really bad y’all#like what is even the point#will have to wait till it releases and see if my trusted sickos (beloved mutuals and friends) enjoy it or not#cause right now… yeah not feeling it#also not trusting the review of ANYONE who hasn’t played all 3 of the prior games at this point#okay okay I’ll shut up now I promise#text#dragon age#veilguard#veilguard spoilers#shut up nerd

limnu.com was special I think
#bandit's doodles#grian#mumbo jumbo#waffle duo#not much to say about the doodle so I’m jumping straight to the bandit review™#The 2 brushes it had were silly#The basic pen one and the ugly marker one#I liked it for a second then I opened my eyes and realized no it's actually not good#it looks like a dying dry erase marker#And idk about you but dying dry erase markers don't have the most appealing texture to me#it was good for drawing a little messed up grian though so that's fun#moving on from the atrocious marker#It had more than 3 colors so that was nice#but still pre saved colors grind my gears a little bit#I didn't really play with other features#but from what I saw they were pretty normal#Just text#Shapes#That stuff#but the eraser isn't really an eraser#its more like just a white brush#So when you select an area you erased over#It will move the part you used the eraser on#If that makes any sense#Honestly 7/10 aside from the dirt brush and eraser it was pretty fine#ALSOi just heard grian mentioned in mumbos newest video#any scrap of waffle duo is enough for me#im grateful#im fed#And I'm happy

Oh yeah I also watched LPs of Mouthwashing!! I really liked it. I can see exactly why it exploded in popularity because it does the thing of telling a very tight, self contained story, that doesn't really digress into a ton of backstory etc but bc the characters are built to feel functional, but also more "archetypes" that reflect types of people most of us are familiar with, it inspires people to connect to and imagine more scenarios with them inside and outside of the closed-off scenario that we do get.
Very good Very Straight Man Jealousy-solidarity Bro-Code yaoi built upon a strong foundation of Womansuffering (insert that one Marilyn Frye quote "all that pertains to admiration and imitation is reserved for other men / heterosexual male culture is homoerotic, it is man-loving"). The most gentle moment between guys being 1) Curly taking over doing the psych report bc Jimmy has been using it to sexually harass Anya by joking around and 2) Curly saying "dw bro....I gotchu thru these hard times just like before " (🤔)
I really liked Jimmy's character and how they wrote him as a shitty person basically from the beginning. I feel the way sometimes people write shitty people characters can often come across cartoonish and unsatisfying to me, but in this case i thought it worked really well. I think the reason why it does so is because of the efficiency of the story; we don't really need a lot of external things verbally telling us to condemn him or huge drawn out reactions to his actions; it simply shows us what he does, how it affects people, and leads that for the audience to participate in the reaction, in experiencing it. I think leaving that space for people to react to a story and have their feelings is pretty important in a work.
I think these takes of his character I read were one of the best I came across; (here and here, from a jimanya shipper lol so just heads up if u read other posts). The ordinariness of the situation I think is what connected me to it. Jimmy isn't a highly unusual sexual deviant separate evil species or anything, but a very sadly common type of man in these settings whose selfishness and demeaning of women is enabled by the Bro-Code support or cluelessness/apathy of people around him. He and the others are also in an exploitative and dangerous work environment that doesn't incentivize conflict or speaking up about ill treatment even if individual people are "nice." The connection between rape culture not just to the Bro-Code relationship but also to the overall working environment felt very clear to me, kind of made me think of reading Ducks last year for more complex and irl personal exploration of capitalism, environmental disaster, and experiences of women in male-dominated industries. It strikes me in that scenario that the men in those situations often are indeed exploited and under lots of stress, but still don't think of their fellow women workers as people...
In the end the story is fairly simple, I think I liked that it was short and had good emotions in it, very strong and impactful design to carry things along, movie-ish in that sense. Its also bc of its short length one of those fandom pieces where I can see it starting to cannibalize itself already since the original work only has so much material to offer, so fandom will just have to start eating itself and coming up with increasingly divergent works before settling down. Still, glad to be able to share the experience as a person of non-gamer experience

why does veilguard let you start the "first qunari warden" side quest as soon as you get access to the rivaini coast but you can't finish it until way later when you've basically completed taash's entire companion quest line and also it's like the only side quest you get for that area
#jay text#datv#i've had 'finish when you get access to the cave' staring at me on the map for the past like fifteen hours of play#and outside the hall of valor i can't recall a single side quest#i mean maybe some pop up later but truly i think those reviewers who kept boasting that this game has soooooo many quests#it always keeps you soooooooooo busy must have gotten paid to say nice things bc where are they man

Yknow what. As an idv noob i must say this. It's time i ask the big Question: why do they look like dolls🗿
I DONT KNOW ACTUALLY. STYLISTIC CHOICE I SUPPOSE
i like to think they look like dolls to re-tell the story of what happened before. its like if youre doing a puppet show, you need the puppets to tell the story. the dolls are just substitutes for their actual selves. they tell the story of what happened in the manor games
#i say this cuz ashes of memory clearly has them all humanlike. no dolls. no seams. all that#but when we review their lore in-game through texts n shit theyre all dolls#soo yeah#~ mailbox#yomiel tag#“idv noob” brother are you playing it /jjj

Yikes... I was a huge Pretty N' Punk Sasha defender but now that I actually have her doll...😬
People were right about her screening not matching the other girls. Which I suppose isn't a huge deal, but they could have at least given her darker make-up. And I love that they gave her curly hair, but they should have done something a little different, and made the color a bit darker. I like her outfits a whole lot, aside from the weird suspenders they put on her pants (cut those off first thing) but the silver boots are odd. Idk, all the other girls have black boots, and black suitcases, but Sasha's for some reason are different.
The worst thing, though, is that they lightened her skin tone. I did notice it in her stock photos that she looked a bit paler, but thought it was maybe just weird lighting. But nope, her skin is definitely lighter than her other dolls that have been released since the revival. Was really hoping MGA would have smartened about about that, but I suppose I was putting too much faith in them.
When I noticed that her doll was cheaper than the others, it brought me back to being a kid and seeing reduced prices on the Sasha dolls because she was less popular. But in this instance...it seems pretty justified.
#bratz#bratz dolls#bratz sasha#sasha bratz#pretty n punk#dolls#doll collecting#not mh#im disappointed to say the least#i like the web series but her skin tone looks off in that too#keep in mind that this is the first original play line doll that they've released since the come back#there's more to come im pretty sure but thats kinda a big deal...and yet they flopped#she was supposed to be in the original release back in the day but they dropped her for whatever reason#but she did have a design and people were wondering why they didnt just go for that#im curious what that would have looked like#aside from the quality i think the fact that she wasnt a reproduction is also why she was cheaper#text post#doll review#i guess#i still want jade bad#all the other girls looks are very out there and sasha's is just super tame#cloe has orange hair lol#and they all have dark lips#im def repainting her lips#they are a really pretty color tho so im gonna regret it a little bit

denuvo as an anti-piracy strategy is completely lost on me tbh. every time i go to buy a game and it has denuvo, it's automatically added to my list of do not buy/always pirate games. that's disgusting, i don’t want that shit on my pc. if the game gets cracked i will be playing that shit illegally. godspeed
#this post is about me having such a huge recent obsession w scott pilgrim that i was gonna buy the game until i saw the reviews#instead i will be finding the family xbox 360 and playing the game the same way i did 10 years ago#same w me genuinely wanting to purchase project diva on pc as if i don’t own future tone already#if it did not have denuvo i would play that shit because of the mods#the most drm i'm willing to tolerate is like. steam's drm (ridiculously easy to bypass w current tools)#or those old pc games w a serial number#i own pc games from japan that released 2005-2007 that comes w the serial number#like it sucks but it isn’t doing shit to my pc. and also i can just give people the serial number i have if i really need to#text#rambles#tech

Sparrow I must Bequeath to Thou a Request for BNHA Fic Recs
...
It seems that I am well-positioned to accept this noble (re)quest!
Pray tell, what strikes your fancy this fine evening? One-shots? Fandom-favorite epics? What emotion are we going for: gut-wenching terror, some top-of-the-shelf whump, gorgeous prose with a fairytale stylings, the most ridiculous crack you're read in your life, character studies, quirk meta, a love letter to canon, canon thrown out the window (with fireworks)?
Intrested in any AUs? Fairytale, fantasy, quirkless, different quirk, vigilante, support-class, alt track herorics, etc?
Do you have a favorite blorbo? Pairing? Tropes
Any rating guideline? Anything you're not intrested in, vaguely dislike, or violently hate?
I will gladly pursue my collection to find some nice fic recs for you Raven :)
#ALL TOO HAPPY TO PLAY REFERENCE LIBRARIAN#let me review the sacred texts#and yes i did have a particular fic in mind for most of those categories#when in doubt i'll rec the insane fic that was apparently inspired by an OPERA#bnha#friend raven#:)

I’m going to venture into some genuine Taylor swift criticism and then probably be done for now because she is truly boring to me and I’ve giggled at all the bad lyrics.
There’s just something a little off with everything she puts out. Something not quite connected to a recognizable human experience. It only even sort of works when kept in this weirdly claustrophobic context of one hopelessly out of touch billionaire’s interpersonal drama. It’s the musical equivalent of a nostalgia bait movie that is nothing but references to other, better media properties. Enjoyable for anyone invested enough in the tangential lore but to everyone else it’s bizarre, disjointed, and feels like an ad read. It’s lame not because it’s clumsy but because it isn’t. It is someone who has not had a very interesting life giving you an unending elevator pitch as if they were Audrey Hepburn. Someone mistaking “uncommon” for “interesting” and “relatable” for “truth”. She lacks the ability to say anything I find remotely compelling.
She is a “don’t talk to me before I’ve had my coffee” mug.

Google seems to know I'm going to see both the current Globe productions later this month and keeps recommending me reviews of them. I'm not reading them because I don't read reviews and prefer to be "spoiler free", but this headline:
Me, who isn't super keen on the text: I see this as an absolute win!
#this has legit made me considerably more excited about it#I've always been pretty tepid on alyi but all the review headlines are saying it's an extremely queer and radical production#which sounds amazing#please play as freely with the text as you want to I've seen and even read ayli before I would prefer to see it stretched this time#lars speaks#ayli

okay this has been bugging me for a few days so im outsourcing to tumblr to see if anyone here has talked about it/is talking about it even though the book is a few years old. is there a consensus on morgan from bernardine evaristo’s girl woman other? ive been reading it for a class and it just screamed borderline transphobic character written by a well meaning cis author who has “concerns”. idk is there some 5d chess im missing? am i reading it too literally? whats the deal with it
#myposts#text of kin#girl woman other#doesnt rlly help that like no reviews ive seen really talk about it in depth beyond 'oh yeah and trans rep'#i wanna know whats going on there.#and like dont get me wrong the book is fine--very liberal and kinda annoying for that--but fine#just....i think it generally has the sense its doing things better than it is#the abusive relationship in dominiques chapter...fuckin. everything about yazz??#i struggle to see some of these stories as groundbreaking when theyre like playing into highly established shit in order to do so yk#the same w morgans chapter imo. really had to go to 'ive always hated pink and dolls!'#rather than. anything else#i guess it stands out the MOST with morgan just bc its so off base and so typical and so typically borderline transphobic that i can#immediately see and roll my eyes at it--same w dominiques chapter ig#just seems like....ticking off boxes on 'the right way' to do certain portrayals and then posing the most boring questions imaginable#about them so when i see such effusive praise for it i go kinda ???? like am I wrong??? maybe im crazy and it is done well#idk i suspect its so highly praised because its so liberal-friendly which is exactly why its so boring to me#i dont hate it. its fine. but like....just fine. i cant muster much enthusiasm#and what the FUCK. with morgan! thats my ultimate question here whats the deal whats the consensus
