Emang Bener Kalau Cowok Pake kaos Item Suka Keliatan Cakep?

“Gatau kenapa cowok kalau pake kaos item polos keliatan cakep kalo mukanya cakep”, - Screen shot status [at] recehintwiter

Nemu yang kaya gini di explore, katanya cowok pake baju item jadi keliatan cakep (kalau cakep ya hiks). Saya mah pake kaos warna apapun gini gini aja perasaan haha. Tapi inget Patrick ke Spongebob, “Aku Jelek dan Aku Bangga”. Saya jadi penasaran, emang apa ya alesannya kaos item sama cakep. Kita bahas deh yaw!

Disclaimer: Materi ini saya dapetin dari bright side dengan judul Pscyhologist Point Out 11 Clothing Colors That Reveal Your Personality

Kalau kata David Zyla (penulis buku Color Your Style) mah gini

"meskipun lemari baju kita diisi dengan berbagai lima warna kaya merah kuning kelabu merah muda dan biru (tapi yang meletus yang ke enam which is hijau), selalu ada warna yang ngasih kita preferensi, yang kita banget yang secara gak langsung ngebuat kita nyaman kalau pake warna itu dan ngerasa pede gitu. It is the very color that reflects your character”

Kalau kasus saya sendiri, warna yang paling saya suka itu aesthetic. kalau ga abu, item, atau putih. Tapi banyakan abu sih hehe. Yuk kita bahas 11 warna yang reveal personality kita

HITAM

Warna ini yang katanya ngebuat cowok jadi keliatan cakep ya. Sama sih, cewek juga kadang jadi cakep kalau udah pake baju ini. Keliatan elegan (buat saya ya). Kata Karren Heller (Style expert), Black is a color that is taken seriously. warna baju item itu ngelambangin prestige, power, keseriusan, sama kecerdasan. Makanya nih banyak kampus di Europe, yang toga wisudanya itu item. Di Indonesia juga banyak yang toganya item kaya UI sama IPB (tapi toga Unpad masih juara sih kalau diliat dari segi design). Orang yang prefer baju item biasanya ambisius, purposeful tapi sensitive. warna item ini ngebantu mereka ngalihin perhatian orang-orang dari penampilan mereka ke personality mereka soalnya kualitas mereka itu yang paling penting.

COKLAT & Nuansanya

Saya jarang sih nemu orang yang suka pake baju coklat. tapi warna ini ngelambangin kalau orangnya dapat diandelin, kuat, sama stabil. Katanya orang yang prefer warna ini biasanya agak konservatif, respect orang tua mereka dan selalu nyari peace, stabilitas sama kekuatan dalam segala hal. Cewek yang pake baju coklat atau cowok yang pake jaket coklat ngasih kesan kalau ia cerdas dan rasional. Langsung cek saya punya baju coklat ga ya buat ketemu doi HHH

BIRU & Nuansanya

Kata Mba Lisa Johnson, warna biru ini warna yang paling cocok dipake buat wawancara. Makanya kadang kita suka liat orang yang wawancara pake kemeja biru soalnya ia ngelambangin percaya diri sama dapet diandelin. Study yang dilakuin sama Univ of British Columbia bilang warna biru tua itu punya calming effect. Nuasa biru di baju biasanya dipilih sama orang baik, sympathetic, sopan malah bahkan orang pemalu. Katanya sih person in blue biasanya bakal jadi wonderful parent atau seorang pekerja teladan

HIJAU & Nuansanya

Warna item ini erat sama alam. Kata ilmuwan dari Univ of Amsterdam mah warna biru itu biasanya ngebuat kita good mood. Makanya mungkin dulu wallpaper warnet itu padang hijau gitu. Biar mood internetannya dan nambah billing haha. Mereka yang prefere warna ini katanya peduli, baik, dan punya soft heart. Mereka aktif. Suka tinggal di daerah yang bagus, dan katanya nih mereka financially stable. Sultan nich

UNGU & Nuansanya

Sebagai mantan belieber (penggemar justin bieber) saat SMA haha, saya tau banget nih ini warna Justin Bieber banget. Nah ini nih, saya punya temen yang suka banget sama warna ungu. Entah kenapa suka banget. Warna ini ngelambangin kecanggihan, kaya, sama mewah. Katanya Cleopatra (Firaun) suka banget sama warna ungu soalnya dulu cuman orang kaya doang yang make barang-barang bernuansa ungu. Kalau sekarang sih warna ini nge indikasiin creativity, insight, sama love of art. Eh ternyata bener dongs. Temen saya yang suka banget sama ungu ini tuh emang designer. suka design design

MERAH & Nuansanya

Siawa siwa huwono huweni, yang baju merah jangan sampai lepas

Warna ini yang paling menarik perhatian. Richeese level 5 juga kan merah yah haha. Kata Mba Kenny Frimpong (Manager Brand Eredi Pisano), merah itu warna passion dan power. Kamu harus ngubah preferensi kamu ke warna ini kalau kamu pengen mengajak atau nge impress seseorang". Kalau kata Abby Calisch (Psikolog dari Eastern Virginia Medical School), "merah itu stimulant buat cowok-cowok". Mereka yang preferensinya warna merah itu cerah, mudah exciting, agak sedih egois, dan katanya addicted. Ke undangan pake warna ini auto jadi perhatian, apalagi ke nikahan mantan sambil nyanyi harusnya aku yang disana by Armada

KUNING & Nuansanya

Yo penggemar Billie Ellish mana suaranya, saya sampe punya jaket warna kuning gegara ngeliat lagu bad guy.

kuning ini warna kebahagian, matahari, sama tertawa. Mereka yang preferensinya warna ini itu aktif, kreatif, sama orang yang addicted to something. Mereka pemimpi cerah dan berjiwa petualang. Siap explore apapun

PUTIH

Selain item, warna ini juga suka jadi kaos anak-anak start up kan ya. Buat yang preferensinya ini hati hati sih. Entar dijailin temen dikasih lipstick bentuk mulut gitu wkwk. Niat kangen ketemu doi gegara pandemi, eh pas ketemu malah berantem haha

putih itu simbol perdamaian, alami, innocence sama kesederhanaan. Manaknya nih banyak orang beli barang putih soalnya mereka kaya bisa mulai sesuatu yang baru di hidupnya. mereka biasanya teroganisir dalam melakukan apapun Mereka suka memulai dan berjuang buat kesempurnaan

MERAH MUDA & Nuansanya

Kayaknya ini warna favorit perempuan pertama kali deh. Hayo ngaku siapa yang nulis warna ini di biodata diarynya pas SD dulu. Ko bisa? Biasanya barbie ya yang sering pink-pink gini tuh. Walaupun gitu, mereka yang preferensinya ini tuh ngelatin umur yang matang, lembur sama biasanya ini tuh ngasih tau tentang betapa feminimnya mereka. Katanya juga mereka itu romantis, optimistis, sama merasa benar sendiri dalam hal yang baik tentunya

ORANGE & Nuansanya

Orang yang preferensinya ini biasanya optimistik, energetic, sama selalu keliatan bahagia. Even mereka bisa jadi orang yang sedikit tersinggung, tapi mereka bisa jadi ambisius dan bijaksana. Saya bingung mau cerita apa warna orange ini haha, dah lah itu pokoknya. Skip

ABU-ABU

Ini tuh kaya perasaan doi ke kamu, ya abu abu gitu. Too good to leave, Too bad to stay hiks. warna ini ngelambangin keseimbangan. Gak itam atau pun gak putih. Biasanya mereka yang preferensi ini tuh pengen kaya keliatan invisible. Doi mungkin sering kadang ilang-ilangan gegara ini haha. Warna ini juga berarti ketenangan, dimensi, dan kematangan. Orang Aesthetic Minimalist seneng banget sih sama warna ini. Karena abu ini termasuk warna netral, jadi orang nya agak sulit juga buat ditebak

Every Game I Played in 2020, Ranked

2020. Boy, what a garbo year huh? Didn't actually play that many games this year all-in-all. Happens! My backlog is getting pretty big, but I just find it hard to focus on games when I could be working on something. Or put off working on something, as it may happen to be at times.

My arbitrary decision from years ago to only attach a numbered ranking to same-year releases is getting increasingly silly, especially given my propensity to wait on playing games until I’m in the right mood, but whatever. That order matters than the dumb numerical numbering anyway.

2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019

Later Alligator – 2019 – Steam – ★★

The style of this game is very cute, and the jokes are funny enough. But… ok, look, I’m not one to be precious about what is or isn’t a game. But this really isn’t a game. It’s a series of disconnected, unrelated challenges clipped from Atari Free Mini Game Collection 100, wrapped in a very non-interactive adventure-game. It’s cute, it’s kind of sweet, but it’s dull. Dull dull dull. There’s a pointless, mandatory sliding block puzzle early on that infuriated me by its mere existence. Them giving the ability to skip it because “wow you’re bad at this huh”, which, while accurate, also just sold the whole point meaningless of the “““interactive experience”””.

Also: when a huge part of your game is WOW WE ANIMATED EVERYONE REALLY GOOD, text boxes that reveal word-by-word, far away from the animations that occur when said characters talk? Kind of stinks!

8. Carrion – 2020 – Steam – ★★

What Carrion does well— the whole “You’re controlling The Thing and just rippin’ people apart!” shtick— is really neat. They made that bootleg The Thing animate real-ass good.

The actual game as a whole though? Kind of garbage. Imagine a Metroidvania with zero actual exploration, where every opportunity you have to venture off the path instead results in immediate railroading with constant, utterly inexplicable one-way pipes. It’s not that it’s linear, it’s that it actively slaps you when you attempt to explore. It’s very frustrating! Add the fact that the tentacle-monster-shtick makes challenging to actually, y’know, move around and control all your bits… the only reason I finished the game was due to foreknowledge of its extreme brevity.

I think if the game were more open and less obsessed with constantly handing out upgrades, as well as having less of a focus on pure combat, I think I’d have enjoyed it more.

SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays – 2019 – Steam – ★★

It is well documented at this point that I am both an active Gundam fan, and as well as an on-again-off-again tactical RPG aficionado. A SD Gundam game appearing on Steam with a good English translation and localization is… exciting, to say the least. That said, I have never had much context for this game series beyond the basic facts that the combat tended to be pretty well animated CG, and that it’s vaguely similar to Super Robot Wars. Turns out… it’s really different from SRW? I dunno how the rest of the series fairs, but Cross Rays is weird as hell.

For one, there’s zero tutorialization at all. None. Almost all of what I’m going to explain here is me figuring stuff out by trial and error, or by reading junk online. Gundam is insanely popular, you’d think they’d be interested in explaining how it all works, but… nope. Even Super Robot Wars has multi-level introductory bits for new folks to show them the rope these days.

So: Cross Rays is a tactical RPG where you can playthrough the storyline of various Gundam AUs. You can play through them in any order. These playthroughs are fairly literal translations of the stories. You take control of the lead mecha from those series, fight enemy mobile suits that show up in SRW-like tactical RPG combat, until all reinforcements cease. Pretty straight forward. There are occasionally mission variants like “prevent enemies from reaching X” or “prevent enemies from destroying Y”, but even those can be just reduced to “kill everything very quickly please.”

But here’s the thing: while there is a story progression, the characters in the story itself actually have no character progression. These characters and mecha are actually considered guests, despite it being ostensibly their story. Instead, you are able to field “permanent” mecha and pilots of your own choosing, which do have progressions. There is no plot justification for this or anything like it. The game does not recognize that it’s weird that during Iron-Blooded Orphans intro where nobody knows what a Gundam even is, you can have 25 Gundams show up at once and just fire lasers at everything. That’s because this game is actually about repeatedly grinding the same set of missions over and over.

Pilots are recruited by completing certain in-mission requirements. Mecha are acquired by either by getting enough kills with the progression-less “guest” mecha, combining mecha you already have gashopon-style, completing certain quests, or by leveling up mecha and then “evolving them”. This is the actual core of the game.

SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays is basically Disgaea, it turns out? You’re grinding story missions at various difficulty levels in order to complete missions, try to recruit specific pilots, equip them with stats and levels to make them stronger, and then hitting mecha together in a sort of quasi-SMT fusion system until you get all the powerful mobile suits you desire.

The combat itself is kind of… bland? There’s a lot of systems, but they mostly seem in service of making an already easy game easier, or burning through tedium. There are four different difficulty modes, because there’s not actually that many different missions you can play through. The expectation is you’ll just work your way through every story beat while ramping the difficulty up over time to where the “guest” mecha would not be able to handle on their own. In fact, letting the story mecha act out the story beats is actually bad after a point, unless you’re still trying to get those lead mobile suits, or if you’re trying to complete some mission requirement in order to recruit Named Wing Grunt Pilot #246.

There is something to the notion of “I want to get N and N and N and N on a team, piloting weird but powerful mobile suits, and just solo every Gundam AU in a row,” but the whole premise seems kind of against purpose. Why bother recreating story beats at all, then? It’s not like the game even acknowledges any of that going on.

If the point is that I’m supposed to be, like in other grind-heavy tactical RPGs, breaking the systems to my own end in order to proceed… why not make the missions you play challenges focused towards that? The story progression literally only exists to facilitate the mission-based unlock conditions, which makes all the energy put into making them JUST LIKE THE ANIME really damn pointless.

I like tactical RPGs, I like breaking RPG systems so as to beat hard challenges (I beat all the insanely hard extra bosses in FFXII for crying out loud), I looooove Gundam. I should like this. But I don’t really have the “god, I NEED TO FILL THIS LIST” gene that some folks have… except as an excuse to continue to engage in gameplay I enjoy. The gameplay here seems in service of the collection, rather than the way around.

7. Pokemon Sword: The Isle of Armor – 2020 – ★★★

Pokemon’s first foray into actually doing DLC is… a mixed bag. As a positive, they’ve improved the Wild Area concept I liked from the main game, and even brought back buddy Pokemon walking behind you. That’s neat. On the other hand: the actual progression in it is completable in like an hour, it doesn’t scale with you, so you’re bound to be over leveled for it, and all the raid stuff, while still conceptually neat, is just as flawed as in the base game. And so, you’re just left with even more new Pokemon to RNG grind on to continue to catch-them-all. Nah, I’m good.

Astral Chain – 2019 – Switch – ★★★

Platinum knows how to make good character action games. They’ve made a bunch of them. Bayonetta, Nier: Automata, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. They also know how to make some kind of mediocre character action games. Transformers: Devastation, Wonderful 101, their various shovelware character action games like Korra. Astral Chain falls somewhere in the middle, I guess?

Astral Chain has all the production of their good games. It has some stylish, cool action. It has a neat core mechanical idea, in that it’s essentially a two-character action game where you control both characters at once. It has a lot of the old mechanics from some of their best games brought in; witch-time last second dodging from Bayonetta, Nier’s shooting-and-slashing combination, the Zandatsu mechanic from Metal Gear Rising, even Wonderful 101’s multi-unit shenanigans. The setting is different, and there’s some neat world flavor all in all.

But, of all games I’ve played over the past few years, Astral Chain made me more vividly angry than any other. It’s not that it’s too hard— far from it, really, I found its combat incredibly mashy. No, the problem is that it has so many shitty mechanics slathered on that it become a chore to get to the “good bits”.

Why would you put forced stealth sequences in your character action game, especially when your movement controls are not suited for it?

Why the HELL would you put platforming sections in your character action game, constantly, especially when your stupid ghost buddy can accidentally yank you off the edge, your auto-combos can just throw you off the edge, or literally anything can knock you off the edge and make you lose life?

Why would you put so many constant excuses into the world to force me use the digital sensor in the game, that also makes it miserable to walk around while using it?

WHO THE LIVING FUCK THINKS THESE SHITTY BOX BALANCING MINI-GAMES ARE FUN???

These games are supposed to encourage me to perfect everything, right? Why keep putting fucking fights you need to complete in order to get an S rank behind backtracking, or Legions I don’t have yet? That isn’t adding replayability, that’s just wasting my time. There are even in-level missions that have fail conditions that you never even know about. Surprise!!! A lot of them involve chasing after guys and catching them with your chain, which is really obnoxious to do!!!! SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The story is just Bad Evangelion, straight up. Every story beat from Evangelion is here, executed worse. They also make your character have a twin just so they can have a character who can talk and feel emotions, because your boring-ass protagonist is stuck being an emotionless audience cipher. Cool!!!

Tetris Effect – 2018 – Origin – ★★★

It’s drugs Tetris. I personally don’t use, or have synesthesia for that matter. I imagine this game is better if you do. It’s an enjoyable enough experience but it feels incredibly slight for what I was expecting from it, or even compared to something like Lumines, which has tons of replayability by way of its difficulty. Tetris just isn’t that hard, unless you’re forcing yourself to do weird shit to get points. I WILL NEVER LEARN HOW TO T-SPIN. Never.

Castlevania Anniversary Collection – 2019 – Steam – ★★★

Kind of an unremarkable Castlevania collection. Neat that it has an official translation of Kid Dracula in there, but also… look, I prefer Metroidvania Castlevanias, OK?

6. Spelunky 2 – 2020 – Steam – ★★★

I’m not entirely sure why this doesn’t click for me where Spelunky 1 did. More annoying intro levels? Too many fiddly requirements for different ending-progression? Gameplay additions that just make things more annoying? Spelunky 1 was hard, but there was a kind straight-forwardness to it, even with its weird secrets, that made it much easier to grok and continue banging your head against. I’m just not having as much fun with this. Difficulty should be challenging, not a hassle.

5. Stellaris: Federations – 2020 – Steam – ★★★

This is the year that Stellaris just broke for me.

Federations itself is a good DLC; it adds some really interesting mechanics tied to various types of multi-national unions (the titular federations, as well as the Space UN), as well as the addition of unique “origins” that allow you to further specialize your gameplay. The origins in particular are a great addition that allows more specialization and roleplay.

I’m just tired of the sheer amount of busywork Stellaris forces you to do. Every DLC adds more junk you need to keep an eye on, and the fact that the AI doesn’t even bother with it (compensating with copious economy boosts in order to keep up) makes the whole thing frustrating. It’s like playing fetch with yourself; you just get tired of chasing after your own ball after a point.

I have to wonder if they’re pivoting towards a notional Stellaris 2 at this point? Might not be a bad idea for them, though it is weird with all they talked up adding more origins when Federations came out.

4. GranBlue Fantasy Versus – 2020 – Steam – ★★★★

This is probably the fighting game I got most into over the past few years. There’s just this nice, almost Street Fighter-esque ease of execution to the controls, and that Arc Systems Works 3D-as-2D style continues to just do work. I don’t give a single shit about GranBlue Fantasy (frankly, I think I’d enjoy this game more if it wasn’t attached to a property) but the characters are fun enough to play and look at.

The big problem here is two things: no crossplay, and no rollback netcode. In the span of a month, this game became a total ghost town on PC, and it doesn’t sound like PS4 faired that much better.

Ring Fit Adventure – 2019 – Switch – ★★★★

I’ve fallen on-and-off this game all year. At its heart: it works, it’s a fun exercise game. I don’t think it really feels like a “game” (in the sense that I’m not really coming to it for riveting gameplay or anything) as much as just a guided exercise experience, but… that’s fine? The in-game story is kind of flat, but funny in the fact of it existing at all. Buff Nicol Bolas and all.

XCOM 2: War of the Chosen – 2017 – Steam – ★★★★

XCOM2: War of the Chosen is a great answer to what XCOM2 struggled with. As I discussed back in 2016 (Jesus Christ), XCOM2 tried to push against player’s worst instincts by incentivizing them to keep being aggressive through a whole bunch of timers— which, kind of just weren’t fun given how much accidentally walking into an ambush could “ruin” dozens of hours of play. War of the Chosen dials that back in some intelligent ways, by instead making the encounter designs themselves, as well as much more grab-and-bail mission types, encourage players to push ahead instead. Smart!

The addition of the Chosen makes the game feel more alive, and they really do make missions harder— particularly early on. But they’ve somehow accidentally fell into the hole, where XCOM just… isn’t that hard? Early on it’s challenging, particularly with the resource restrictions and all. But they keep giving you more and more options (that aren’t especially meaningful choices) that make your team more and more powerful, without increasing the strength of the enemy as time goes on. By the five-hour mark, you basically know if you’re going to steam roll the game or not.

The amount of additional character and variety in the gameplay is great, I just wish it had a more challenging difficulty curve. Maybe make the meta-layer of when enemies show up more targeted to where players are at. If a player is doing well, ramp up the difficulty, if they’re struggling, pull it back a bit. I should always feel like I’m just barely keeping ahead with XCOM, not like I’m bored. And by the end of War of the Chosen, I was kind of getting bored, really. Oh well.

3. Animal Crossing: New Horizons – 2020 – Switch – ★★★★

This is probably the video game that I spent the most time with hours-wise this year. I’m not entirely sure why? It’s a nice evolution of New Leaf, in that the crafting, environment shaping, and general quality-of-life improvements made are quite nice. There’s clearly been some thought on how people play these games, and ways to make the experience less frustrating.

… and yet, they kept so much tedium in the game. Like yes, the schedule stretching is the point, I get it. As someone who for some reason decided not to play with the clock, I only just recently finished the fish, fossils, and insects for the museum. But there’s just so many weird, little things that just make it hard to keep coming back to it. It’s like… to what end? When I’ve unlocked everything, and basically seen the entirety of the item list at this point, and the holiday events all being the game meaningless collectathons…. Why? I’m not going to try completing the collection; the museum stuff is about my limit, really (and even the paintings I can probably pass on).

I guess even an idealized, digital representation of a quasi-domestic life has the spiritual emptiness of consumerism-for-consumerism sake. Thanks???

Hypnospace Outlaw – 2019 – Steam – ★★★★

I grew up on the internet of the early 00s. I had an AngelFire website, mostly consisting of shitty sprite webcomics and hosted Gundam pics. I remember when Google wasn’t really a thing and you would heavily rely on website compilation sites like the Anime Web Turnpike in order to find anything of value online. It was weird, it was wild. It was exciting!

The internet seemed so different back then. There was a ton of garbage online, but also, like… there was a sense of optimism to it. Folks were shitty, there was plenty of bad stuff online, but it felt so disconnected from the fabric of the physicality of real-life that it was at the same time a perfect escape.

I was young when I first got “online”, something like 12. I remember having this notion that the internet was going to be this great equalizer, that it had infinite potential to change how people behave and interact. Boy, huh.

Hypnospace Outlaw is essentially a splendid alternate universe GeoCities recreation, where you’re a volunteer moderator of a grouping of websites on HypnOS, an internet-analog you access while you are sleep. At the surface level, it’s mostly about poking around the weird alternate-historical version of the internet they created, full of kids feuding, bizarre historical divergences, and plenty of amazing bespoke weirdness. All of this is great; there’s an incredible amount of content that’s just great to poke at, listen to, and explore.

Below the surface, there’s also a rolling plotline about the ethics of this industry-owned platform, those who run it, and the way corporations handle new technology, new platforms, and emerging digital societies. There’s a late game turn that’s pretty damn affecting. And as someone who has moderator his share of internet forums in his time, trying to balance ‘do it for the community’ and what your ostensible ‘bosses’ require of you, it was kind of a weird throwback in more ways than one.

Minecraft – 2011 – PC – ★★★★★

Turns out, Minecraft is really as good still who knew??? Started playing a bunch more of it this year due to Giant Bomb deciding to do so, and yeah: still good!

2. Hades – 2020 – Steam – ★★★★★

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again— Supergiant makes damn good games. I’d been holding off on checking out Hades until its full release due to my tendency to burn out on games easily, and I’m glad I waited. Hades is a fantastic rogue-lite experience. The way it makes narrative progression part of the reiterative, randomized rogue-lite structure is just perfect.

It’s got all the usual Supergiant bullet points. Great characters, voice acting, narration, and music. In terms of gameplay, it’s probably their least ambitious game— playing something like a cousin to their original game, Bastion— but it’s also been polished to a mirror sheen. It just feels really damn good to play, over and over and over.

That being said, the second (final?) ending feels kind of…. Tacked on? It’s fine as a goal to go for while continuing to do the game’s relationship mechanics for additional story bits, but it ends up feeling kind of unfulfilling compared to the payoff of the first one.

1. Crusader Kings III – 2020 – Steam – ★★★★★

I never could get into Crusader Kings II. Despite my interest, the sheer mechanical heft and unintuitive interface made the game a wall that I just couldn’t get over. I’m sure if I’d dedicated myself I probably could have learned it, but… ehhhhhh.

Crusader Kings III, on the other hand, has a good tutorial, a cleaned-up UI, and a very helpful highlight and tooltip system that make it much easier to understand how to actually play the game through resources inside the game itself. And, as it turns out: I rather love this game.

I mean, conceptually it’s an easy sell, isn’t it? Historical politics is something I enjoy broadly. I liked Stellaris but wish it had more narrative, roleplaying elements. They outright say that “winning” isn’t really the point of the game. Instead, it’s more about emergent storytelling and playing with the different systems and seeing what you can do with it.

My current game has had me taking the Haesteinn dynasty from its Viking origins into England, forming a London-seated Northern Sea Empire that encompasses all of Britannia, Iceland, Holland, Norway, and Denmark. I am currently working on hegemonizing Norse religious control over enough Asatru holy sites to finally reform the religion, such that more unified feudalization can occur. To that end, my current ruler’s predecessor invaded West Francia and conquered the whole of its territory, substantially reducing the foothold of Catholicism in mainland Europe… which seems to have kicked the hornet’s nest, given the Crusade I’m going to need to contend with next time I boot up the game.

Of course, a complicating matter is that my current ruler— the Emperor of the North Sea, King of Ireland and the Danelaw, liege of the King of Denmark, was elected from the extended Haesteinn family via Thing, the Scandinavian council of his erstwhile vassals. Where the previous emperor, the one who manufactured the invasion of Francia, was quite religious and beloved for his adherence to the old ways, I discovered as I took over as his successor that he really, really is into just boning down across Europe. We’re talking constantly attempting to seduce neighboring Queens and Princesses. His vassals are not thrilled with this. They also don’t care for his propensity for torturing people to death, constantly.

I had no real say in this; attempting to stay on top of a dynasty is kind of like riding a bucking-bronco, so many things are only tenuously under your control that some weird shit can happen. This is especially true when you use the systems that make it easier to maintain the coherency of your domain. The Norse religion encouraging concubinage results in you having a lot of kids, which means there’s a lot of domain partition going on (someday, primogeniture, someday). Naturally, using Thing election reduces that, but also makes you sometimes end up having to play Emperor Stabbo-Fucko because they thought he was the best candidate at the time. Hell, I thought he was the best candidate at the time until I discovered just how many people he’d be laying with on the low. But you just have to roll with it.

The way the game forces you to play ball with character traits is great. Doing things that match with the character’s traits makes them lose stress. Doing things against their character increases stress. Too much stress can force you to make the character take up vices (which can make them suffer health or opinion maluses, as well as altering their aptitudes), or even die outright. And sometimes those vices and attitudes can be boons, given they open up opportunities for different character interactions.

Emperor Stab-and-Fuck-Kingdom is perhaps the most relaxed person alive, it turns out, because his sadism makes him really enjoy sacrificing infidels, which makes the gods happy. It also freaks the fuck out of all of his vassals, so they’re a good supplicant mix of both appreciative of my religious sentiments and also utterly terrified of my skull piles. Some especially brave vassals occasionally try to assassinate me, but my lovers keep jumping in front of the knife and saving my life mid-coitus. Iiiiiit happens! :D

The game can be incredibly fun to just watch, as it becomes emergently weird. Georgia right now is incredibly Jewish in game. I’m not sure how that happened; I guess someone made a random Jewish guy into a vassal, who somehow moved up enough in the world to make it a movement? The Byzantine princes elected a Coptic as Emperor, which over the course of the decade resulted in very accelerated balkanization as Byzantium just lost its shit. The Middle East and notional HRE haven’t really unified in a meaningful way, so I’m curious how things are going to go if/when the Mongols unify and roll-on in.

It’s one of those “Just one more thing” games that can completely devour time. I have more than a few times checked the clock mid-game to see that it’s 4AM and that I’ve totally ruined my sleep schedule in the process of play. Oooooops.

I highly recommend checking it out if you’re curious; the introductory, pre-release video series Paradox put out showing off the game does a pretty good job of showing the core gameplay loop and also how weird it can get.

What Are The Very Best HD Resolutions?

The resolution for UHD TELEVISION means Ultra HD TV. The buzz surrounding this modern technology is that it will provide the very same watching top quality as a high-definition tv, but at a fraction of the expense. This statement has been continually proven wrong time once more. UHD TVs is just not worth the rate they bill, even though some people really feel that it's since the prices have gone down because of demand as well as supply. This is not true in all. There are several factors at work behind the production of a UHD TELEVISION that makes them a lot a lot more expensive than a common HDTV; these are all flexible as well as can be manipulated if you recognize what you're looking for.

What is the perfect resolution for a UHD TELEVISION? Many industry specialists concur that it is just feasible with a set of 2.5-inch displays, as the LCDs and also plasmas made use of in today's best Televisions are also small to sustain the current UHD resolutions.

Primeiro eu gostaria de me desculpar por meu último post ter sido há quase 1 mês! Como eu disse no penúltimo, estava no fim do semestre e as coisas ficaram mais corridas do que eu esperava, então mal tive tempo pra me dedicar a qualquer outra coisa. Bom, essa terça foi a apresentação do meu trabalho final e eu finalmente estou de férias!!

Bem, esses dias eu tava pensando no meu passado, como costumo fazer mais do que devia, e fiquei lembrando de todos os aparelhos portáteis que eu j�� tive. Eu fiz uma lista de todos eles e achei que seria interessante desenhar num formato meio pixel todos eles em escala, então fiz isso e achei que ficou um resultado até que bem interessante!

Coloquei em ordem cronológico todos os celulares que eu tive mais meu ipod e mais meu Nintendo DS. Achei que seria legal falar um pouco sobre minha relação com cada um desses aparelhos também.

Eu sempre quis um aparelho portátil, sempre fui muito fascinado com essa ideia, tão fascinado que eu lembro que frequentemente na escola fazia celulares de papel dobrando e desenhando de várias formas e cores diferentes.

Em 2007 eu ganhei meu primeiro, o Nintendo DS. Por muito tempo eu levei ele pra todos os lugares, não só por causa dos jogos mas também porque eu tinha aqueles cartões que dava pra colocar programas nele, tipo reprodutor de música, vídeo e um pra desenhar na tela de toque. Eu continuei usando bastante até mais ou menos 2011, que foi quando eu ganhei meu ipod que também dava pra jogar joguinhos.

Em 2007 também, mas depois, eu ganhei meu primeiro celular! Um Sony Ericsson W200a. Era o máximo, o melhor celular que eu já tive. Tinha um programa de fazer musiquinhas, uma câmera, armazenava músicas e vinha com uns jogos bem legais.

Em 2010 eu ganhei um celular da LG chamado Cookie, que era honestamente bem ruinzinho. Eu queria muito ter um celular com tela grande e tela sensível a toque, mas fora a câmera bem melhor e o armazenamento que era bem maior, tudo nele era pior que o celular anterior. Não tinha jogos legais, o sistema era lento, travava muito, e eu demorei pra perceber isso. Eu acabei vendendo o celular da Sony Ericsson, o que é um dos meus maiores arrependimentos até hoje.

Em 2011 eu ganhei minha primeira smart-coisa, um ipod touch 4. Isso sim foi uma mudança na minha vida, principalmente comparado com o celular da LG. Tinha wifi, a tela era grande, brilhante e bonita, era rápido, tudo funcionava, podia baixar o aplicativo que eu quisesse e a bateria durava uma eternidade porque não tinha conexão celular. Eu continuei usando ele até 2013, quando ganhei meu primeiro celular smart.

Em 2012 eu ganhei um celular que eu tenho até hoje e uso de vez em quando. O Samsung ch@t222. Ele era bem simples, o maior diferencial é que tinha aqueles teclados inteiros em vez de só números e, apesar da tela ser menor que o da LG e não ser touch, a interface era muito mais rápida e responsiva, era muito melhor de usar. A câmera era um pouco pior, mas ele tinha entrada pra cartão sd e carregava com cabo micro usb em vez de ser proprietário, o que deixava tudo mais fácil e é a razão pra eu ainda ter ele na minha gaveta pra caso meu celular atual quebre e eu tenha que mudar o chip pra outro aparelho.

Em 2013 eu ganhei meu primeiro smartphone, um Moto X da Motorola. Essa foi outra mudança de vida pra mim. A câmera era mil vezes melhor que a do ipod, cabia bem mais músicas, a tela era maior, ainda mais bonita e eu finalmente consegui usar whatsapp.

Em 2015 eu ganhei um celular que era descendente do Moto X, o Moto X Style. Ele era praticamente a mesma coisa só que a câmera era muito melhor a bateria maior, a tela maior, os auto falantes melhores e o processador era melhor também. No geral minha experiência não mudou muito com esse upgrade, a principal razão pra mudar foi que o espaço no celular anterior era pequeno demais e a bateria ficou meio viciada, a esse novo tinha entrada pra cartão sd também.

Em janeiro desse ano, 2020, ganhei meu celular atual, um Xiaomi Mi9T. Eu ainda tava muito feliz e contente com meu Moto X Style, mas ele andava dando muitos problemas, já tinha trocado a bateria, a tela, a gaveta de chip, e no final do ano passado a tela dele simplesmente parou de funcionar, inclusive o touch. Não valia a pena mandar consertar de novo, então comprei esse novo da Xiaomi que é bem legal, mas minha experiência de uso não mudou em absolutamente nada. A tela dele é um pouco maior, tem mais armazenamento, mas isso nunca foi um problema no anterior, e a câmera é um pouco pior, eu diria, mas o processamento de imagens é bem melhor, então acaba que as fotos saem melhores também.

É meio estranho pensar nessas coisas, como antigamente cada celular era de um jeito, de um formato único e tinha funcionalidades únicas também, enquanto hoje literalmente todos são simplesmente um pedaço de vidro preto sem personalidade. Eu realmente sinto falta da época que os celulares eram legais, e fico triste em saber que as gerações a partir de hoje nunca vão saber o foi essa época maravilhosa entre 2000 e 2010.

Só um extra que eu lembrei depois de começar a escrever: Eu tinha um mp4 antes de ter o DS, mas eu era muito novo e não lembro direito disso. Ele sumiu faz muitos anos e eu nem lembro exatamente como era, então achei que não tinha muito o que comentar sobre isso.
