Need low stakes DLC Psychonauts 2 levels in, at this point, anyone’s mind. Fuck shit up and kick ass in the interns brains? Hell yeah. Otto? Sasha round 2? Milla round 2? ANY Aquato? I’d eat it up om nom nom. I’m begging. As a treat for me please.

They really came for him, especially Will. Poor Mike can't catch a break.

Honestly, this is all the proof I need that Vecna is going to target Mike at some point.

somehow this week is 3 hours long and these little pockets of time i have to scroll and be silly are being consumed with chess. i'm afraid i am developing a new (old) hobby.

Trying to watch 999 let’s plays is such hell to me - NO ONE PLAYS THE GAME RIGHT just shutupshutupshutupshutup and play the game!! Stop trying to make jokes!!!!

I’m too autistic for this, I cannot bear hearing let’s players doing their own voice acting when I adore the game’s VAs too much. Everyone always fucks up Santa’s and Lotus’s voices especially.

I understand the draw of Let’s Plays are largely the people playing them who have gained their own following, but as someone who just loves the game I don’t wanna hear ur stupid banter 💥💥💥 play the game and be intrigued but not TOO intrigued because give it a fuckin minute it’ll explain what’s going on 🙄‼️

I think ball-tilt puzzles need to be the new escort mission phenomenon in games. You know like, puzzles where you have to control a ball in some form, usually by tilting the course around it. By "escort mission phenomenon," I mean, the next form of in-game challenge that devs keep putting in games to everybody's ire until they eventually realize everyone universally despises it and slowly stop implementing it.

🍬, 🩵, 💜, 🧬

For Jackson and Finn?

(@markbeakskisser)

Hihiii!!! Thank you so so much hehe!!!

I was maybeee considering putting a read more at first, but after answering that last question for both of them and getting more invested than I anticipated, I'm absolutely gonna put a read more🤣 but again, thank you as always this was splendid.

🍬 - do they like sweets? whats their favorite kind of candy?

I don't think Jackson is super big on sweets or candy, but when he does want something sweet, he normally goes for cake. I've seen him repeatedly get things like strawberry shortcake style sorts of stuff, or strawberry sando(i think thats the name for them? Correct me if im wrong)/those Japanese strawberry sandwiches that are on that special milk bread and have strawberries and like a type of whipped cream on them. He seems to specifically get the strawberry ones as opposed to any other fruit sort of varient. I haven't ever seem him get much candy, occasionally he'll get some sort of whipped-chocolatey cake or chocolate sort of snack or desert, but that's about it.

It is really really funny this one gets mentioned of Finn cause a few days ago I wanted to(and thought I had done it but I suppose I forgot) make a post about how I love the thought that licorice is Finn's favorite sort of candy or sweet(if those can be considered sweet). He likes the assorted licorice best like Taveners, but he normally leans to things that are a bit more high-end or closer to the top of the shelf. He also really really loves those little cherry chocolates or cherry liqueurs chocolates. Nearly just about any box of chocolates would make him quite happy, but those will get him even more.

🩵 - does your f/o (if romantic) use any kind of pickup lines on you?

Jackson is quite smug, and before he has his moments of getting softer or letting some walls down, he definitely makes some few teasing comments about how he's aware of how much I like him. He absolutely makes a couple comments to use as an excuse to stroke his own ego while making me flustered at the same time. He circles back a bit to his teasing once he starts to get more relaxed again about getting close to someone. He doesn't ever have any textbook flirt lines though, 95% of that stuff would perhaps make him roll his eyes.

Mm.. I don't know if pickup lines is the best way to describe some of the stuff Finn says, cause he leans a lot more towards being endearing and perhaps even a bit of flattery, like praising different qualities of me or comparing me to wonders or things he has a deep fondness of, as opposed to cheesy one-liners that you get off of Google and would use for someone that you're maybe meeting at a party or a bar(this isn't slander I swear).

💜 - if your f/o could receive any gift in the entire world, no matter what it was, what would they want?

Oh man, this is a bit of a hard choice for both of them! Honestly I think Jackson would want something 'simple'. He'd probably ask for some sort of high-end latest gaming computer set-up, or some sort of expansion pack for a new release of a game he likes that costs like 80-120$+(Sims players who have scrolled through the Sims DLC know where numbers like that come from).

"Yea, but like, ANYTHING. You could have ANYTHING."

"I know."

And that's how the whole conversation would go and if you kept asking or trying to push him for a different answer he'd probably begin to look at you as if you were the funny one! Anything is anything, at least he didn't ask for like an orange or apple or something.

Finn would absolutely say something like he'd wish for me or wish for my safety or something, and he would mean it with his whole heart. He'd consider it for about five or ten seconds and then that's it. I don't think he'd wish for a physical item or such, he'd probably lean towards a more abstract sort of thing, like the gift of wellness for the people he cares about. He doesn't mean it in some sort of self-righteous manner like how some would say the gift of world peace, but in his line of career, it gets "tiresome", to say the least, to constantly be worried or ache over the condition or safety of someone you like. He said it best, friends are dangerous in his line of work.

🧬 - if your f/o could go into any other career than they're currently in, what would they go into?

Honestly, I don't know if "career" is a fitting word for the situation Jackson would get himself into. Nothing ever really interested or intrigued him asides from that racing simulator game that he was incredible at, and him winning a competition for it was the main reason he ever got offered or considered actually racing in a real-life setting. I know F1 and a few other racing devisions has things like competitive online simulator racing that gets treated like on the same level as in real life racing, but as far as I know NASCAR has nothing like that. He honestly seemed to be making quite the income though from winning so many competitions that were held over the game. I don't know if it was enough that he didn't need any other sort of income, but he was doing something that was okay enough to be out in California on his(seemingly; assumebly) lonesome. I don't know what he would get into outside of racing since he has such little things that captivate him, truthfully I think he'd be kind of a 'floater', he'd probably end up running late night shifts or very isolated jobs or jobs where you can work by yourself. Things like being the person that watches the cameras in escape rooms or game rooms, or where he could have as little interaction with others as possible.

Mm. Actually, kinda just had a light bulb moment, unironically I could see him possibly getting into doing streaming on like Twitch or something. He could just turn off the display that shows chat and the viewer count and he might as well still be in his own spot. Plus you get the choice of kinda deciding your own schedule. I mean, it's a lot simpler worded on paper.

I don't like that I thought "butler" for Finn as a first thought(need to clarify im talking like Sebastian from Black Butler level of stuff). Or like, hitman. Say what you want, but it takes a special kind of person to get into something like being a spy, he is an incredibly well-composed man and is awfully sweet and a gentleman, but he still does incredibly risky and adrenaline leaning sorts of things. I mean, the opener of the movie is him having an infiltration and committing murder moment, he has to carry around weapons on him constantly, I mean, there's a part in the movie where they are at an AIRPORT and he's having to juggle things like spy cameras, guns, missiles, at an AIRPORT. And not once does he ever like falter at all throughout the movie. I mean, I get he's a well-seasoned spy, but he is not getting into some sort of normal career. He's going to like borderline Sherlock Holmes himself into something, trying to scratch and itch. Honestly, it's probably a good thing he got into being a spy, because I think there's a limited area he could get himself in that would satiate or satisfy him. One of the(many) reasons I like him so much is it's so, so, so overlooked that nature of his field and the things he commits and has to do in the movie, he just bears it all really well with a borderline docile seeming nature and good demeanor. He's like the unironic "don't get on my bad side" and if you do you'll catch a treacherous glint in his eyes like wolf staring down a rabbit.

Very many reflections of Spy TF2, to put it into layman's terms(or someone's terms, at least).

It's almost like asking what other environment would you put a polar bear in if it could survive being in any other environment. Like! IT'S A POLAR BEAR!! I DONT KNOW. HAVE YOU *SEEN* WHAT THOSE THINGS DO?? Very different story if you ask the polar bear lovers and polar bear cubs as opposed to if you ask the seal. For the sake of everyone keep him as a spy. Er- euhm- for the sake of most people that aren't at the other end of his assigned mission/job.

I just love exploring the bit of Finn that is a bit over looked and a bit... Michael Caine from Sleuth(FANTASTIC COMPARISON, KANE, I KNOW).

I don't have the words for it asides from comparisons.. clearly.. but he's a bit.. abnormal, more than most, more than I usually use that word to describe them.

Are You Ready for the Hardest Jigsaw Puzzle in the World?

[universestreasures]

@tophatz Sent:

“ it’s okay, you know. if you need to vent. " (( Anzu @ Yugi! ))

Of course, she'd notice he'd be acting off. Anzu had been Yugi's oldest friend. She had been with him since the beginning, seeing him throughout this journey he's had with the Millennium Puzzle and the spirit within it. If there was anyone he could talk to about how he was feeling, it be her.

Yugi takes a deep breath, preparing himself to speak. He wanted to make sure not only what he wanted to say, but also that the other spirit inside of his body wasn't going to listen in on this. Usually, his parnter was rather quiet during school unless something came up, and from what he can sense, it appeared his soul was currently drawn back into the puzzle for the time being, the very puzzle Yugi's hands were now clasping as he looked at Anzu.

"I'm just...worried about the Spirit of the Puzzle." His voice is soft, laced with concern and worry. "He...He said he didn't care if he got his memories back or not to me the other day. While I...I don't want him to leave, I...I can't help but worry that he'll stop wanting to try and find out his past...for my sake."

The spirit sharing his body was selfless and protective. Yugi knows that much from his actions. While he certainly never wants the other to leave, for he's become like family to Yugi, he can't help but feel selfish even saying things like 'I want you to stay with me forever' to his face when deep down he can just sense that shouldn't be the case.

"He...He doesn't even know his own name, Anzu! His name! He doesn't know anything at all about himself! He should know who he is and where he came from, but...he knows how much I care about him and like having him around. I just..." He looks down at the puzzle again before moving it close to his chest as if to hug it. "I just don't want to hold him back...back from figuring that out."

Tunic (game) is soooo goood!! Much better than I anticipated! Particularly with the level of puzzle design

[ronanlynchbf]

do u all maybe perhaps possibly have game recommendations 🤨🧐

[monstrsball]

horror enthusiasts iwasuga... suga likes to watch play iwaizumi play resident evil because iwaizumi is really good at the game <3 (it's better than when he plays by himself and dies a million times)

[citrine-elephant]

something i like about my playthrough of re2r was that you weren't exactly prompted to react a certain way.

leon seeing tyrant? he doesn't demand you run away, just says "what the fuck" and you're supposed to understand that yeah, running is probably a good thing to do.
