[snowdroppy]

is there any ni no kuni discord servers out there i can be insane in or what....i just wanna talk about nnk... can we talk about nnk, please mac? i've been dying to talk about nnk with you all day okay?!!!!

[gifti3]

its been a long time since i found a game that had me excited for whats to come

this is a me thing that im talking about below... usually when i play games, its mainly about it preoccupying my brian with tasks and goals. this is why i gravitate towards sim and management games! to me thats whats enjoyable

i feel like its rare that i just play something just cause its fun to me if that makes sense. and i think infinity nikki is managing to do that like im not progressing through the story super quickly and kind of just letting myself explore, dress up and take pictures at my own pace and im really hoping it stays like this for me for a long time

[quintiliusheartripper]

I will say while i am intrigued by the recent expansion and willing to see it through to the end-

(probably because i dont have an attatchment to a commander character. Like me and velak have a commander and characters attatched but im super flexible with it since he doesn’t really play anymore and eod feels like the true end to it all. I use the main story as a like… marker for events in the world since theres a lot of places that one can explore thats more enriching interesting and personal. I can still use the wizard tower as a plot point for some things but im still seeing the commander being an anomaly who wasnt supposed to happen in a living fractal and its why the wizards didnt do anything this whole time untill something was actually directly attacking them. )

-i am disappointed by a lot and part of it is the way they are doing the releases especially when the expansion is full priced and unfinished when released

It really feels like a cop out and a excuse and im more interested in arenanets unannounced project ive been tracking for a while. “A well funded mmo established fantasy rpg with a focus on story” running on a unreal engine and with linux support and also talking about “guild wars 2 and beyond”in their hiring. Im hoping its a guild wars 3 but this expansion DEEPLY feels like how it felt just before EOD during LWS5 where resources were being cut from one place to be placed in another. Like its one fractured expansion per year until…when? The unannounced game that started production 2022/23 is released? I just hope they figure out a way to keep the game running for people if they move on to a gw3 but gw2 is n entirely different beast from gw1.

casino skip??? that sounds fun!! the skyrim glitch i was talking about involves goimg out of bounds too, i only managed it on ps3. i mostly just dont care enough to do glitches.

i have sooooo many games i want to play rip, instead i replay ratchet and clank for the 500th time

also whats your favorite final fantasy game? mine is 12 bc baby me had big ol' crushes on fran and balthier. (fun fact, the guy who voiced balthier was deucalion in teen wolf)

- dl anon

CASINO SKIP. this person makes it look easy but it took my brother a few tries to get it. i don't normally care much about glitches either but it IS fun to see them done in real life

favorite final fantasy is such a difficult one...i like almost all of them that i've played* (ff2 you will forever be my enemy). ff5 for sure has the best humor, ff6 is the most innovative and closest to my heart, ffx for sure has the best story...but i think 13 wins. 13 has a bit of a swiss cheese problem as far as its plot goes (so much critical information is hidden in the logs in the start menu or simply missing or translated incorrectly), but the cast grows so wonderfully together and with such charisma and charm, the graphics hold up 10+ years later, the soundtrack is a fucking banger, and it has my absolute favorite battle system in any rpg i have EVER played. not only that, its ratio of male to female characters is a perfect 50/50, AND the female protagonist does NOT enter into a romantic relationship of ANY kind during all 3 games - it isn't even hinted at, isn't at all implied that it should be a thing. like, first of all, aro queen, secondly, feminism, but thirdly, how refreshing for a piece of media like that to place nonromantic bonds above romantic ones when the FF games normally have the big sweeping kind of romance you get with like tidus and yuna or locke and celes. i love the protagonist of 13 so much, she's about half the reason i finally dyed my hair pink. 10/10 games i had some mixed feeling about the third game in the trilogy but ultimately i didn't hate it which is what matters.

*i have played 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, and 13. i really want to to 7 8 and 12 someday but i know what a timesink it will be lol (fun fact the guy who voices balthier in ff12 and plays deucalion in teen wolf ALSO voices my main man fenris in dragon age 2). i'm not gonna do 14 cuz i don't do mmos anymore, i'm not gonna do 15 cuz i know there are no women, and im not really interested in 16 either because it looks like it has no women and also very game of thr*nes-y. here's hoping 17 does a little better.

[blookmallow]

been trying out fallout 76 (with 0 expectations, ive been told its not great) and its been a weird time

so far

- i like that we have a female radio dj but why are we getting the reprise of butcher pete Again. will i never be free from butcher pete

- theres an occasional announcer voice on the other radio channel who is alarmingly nick valentine's voice and its weird every time. i also did not know until very recently that nick's voice actor is also the mr handy voice. this is still fucking me up

- got a "Drink to gain positive effects!" notification and thought i was being encouraged to drink alcohol but then realized i had forgotten i was supposed to be like, drinking water

- found a camp where everyone was dead except for one guy, who acted like nothing was wrong at all. no acknowledgment of an attack or anything in this camp. it was late at night so i went to bed. when i started the game back up all the dead people were regular alive npcs again. what happened. did someone come through and kill everyone and then it reset

- didnt realize i have no ability to pause. got murdered by ghouls while looking at my inventory. i do not usually play mmos

- im constantly bewildered by the existence of other players i knew this was a feature of this game but i dont know what to do with it at all. i never have voice on so if anyones trying to talk to me im not hearing it. im playing my character as a weird confused hermit and i have no desire to actually engage with anyone else really

- wandered into some guy's camp (another player not an npc) and was messing with his collection of arcade games only to realize the guy was there walking around in his underwear like 2 feet away. i just kinda quietly walked away

- i have no clue what the social etiquette here is at all. every player ive walked by so far has kinda just continued doing their own thing and ignored me. ive been looking at other peoples houses but not taking anything/attempting to unlock anything. i dont know if im trespassing or what. i saw someone fighting a bunch of protectrons and helped but then i just immediately disappeared back into the woods, lacking any means of communication as i refuse to have a microphone on

- love the mothman cult. excellent

- i dont know what to do with myself without the ability to collect things and make little decorative shelves. everything becomes a stealable paper bag if dropped and i get why but i dont care for it. very confused at the ability to search every corpse in the vicinity through one corpse inventory though it is helpful. i dont know why clothes are never part of corpse inventories anymore but i really want better clothes. i have a consistent problem with caring more about visuals than armor capabilities in fallout but im doing pretty good not dying constantly in this one all things considered

- just kind of fucking around exploring really

[faiiryys]

its leeky noelle

i wasnt going to come back to tumblr ever again but... ngl i miss photosets lmao. uhh. i dont really want to talk about why i left but a run down is i went into financial crisis, 3 people hurt me over the summer, i was actively suicidial and getting sick constantly and yeah! its been a rough year of job hopping after only working days at a time to working a job that treats me like garbage when they know i fork over 40-50 per workday just to be there.

but uh yeah i miss tumblr... i thought since i would be back id follow a few mutuals again. um.

positive! on a positive note im going to school for money LOL but i got approved a job on campus so thats something. im desperate to get out of the food industry so im gonna try and get a degree to become a high school counselor just to have something. i hope i can make it work. i play final fantasy xiv mmo. its my life rn. i fucking rewatched hannibal of all things and had a meltdown that made me want to get my life on some sort of track. uhhh. steven universe movie was cool. i havent dyed my hair and look like shit. i love fire emblem. still about my shitty interests. met a g4m3grump loosely on the ff mmo and he liked my art and followed my twitter so that was kinda cool. small world. had a birthday. i cleaned my room last night and i quit my job but they dont know that yet rlly but :P

i still go by leeky/noelle but ive been calling myself fairy and even ofeimfeoin latte the past two months... its my ff character and i just feel nice when ppl call me those names :( latte is just amusing to me lmao its cute but yeah..fairy..

i ...just really miss being social but dont know how to be anymore. ive been living on solely twitter but no one talks much over there so yeah. anyways miss u guys if anyone reads this.

[eepy-cryptid]

@paint-lady thanks for the offer! i did notice some missions and bosses need more ppl to defeat *throws em a side eye* but for now im trying to get through as much of the game solo and free, just to see how much i can do all on my own >:D @chiclet-go-boom the game honestly kinda reminds me of vampire the masquerade bloodlines, but if it was open world. might be because of the graphics? i dont know, but it gives me nostalgia feels from the get go. swl makes me a little teary ngl, its sooo much fun! and since you asked for the pics~ eheheheheeh (i got so many ss, maybe too much, ill try to narrow it down)

meet lucile preston, quiet unhinged will-throw-herself-into-a-dangerous-situation-without-any-thought-behind-her-eyes-because-its-fun trickster templar (shes so fucking pretty ohmygodčlafelm i love her) r. sonnac (sassy cat-boi faction leader) questions how this novice is even alive at this point, yet reports of her successfully completed missions keep arriving, and he eagerly awaits each one to drink up like his favourite tea brand i imagine her powers to be somewhat electric (her hair is the main inspo), and she can teleport fast short distances with them (imagine like ciri from the witcher). she thrives in pandemonium. she was able to fight before the bees altered her life, but the templars mainly taught her the basics with how to use guns and her power, so i headcanon it that she just got really good at them while she spent her time at the solomon island (plenty of targets to train on there over the course of several months) i picked templars for my first playthrough because i feel like they make the most sense to me story-wise. my second time is def going to be with one of the other two factions.

now here are some scenery ss i took! this game is so damn PRETTY goddddd

there's so much content in this game i can gush about, from the worldbuilding, to storytelling, to fantastic npc's, so on, but one thing i don't particularly like is the fact that quests don't necessarily seem to have a conclusion. i don't know if this is a thing that only happens in this game, or if this is a part of mmo's in general (this is my second mmo i've ever played). but i do a quest, i have a blast while it lasts, and just as i complete it, i just get a notification that its over, no further dialogue, or roleplay involved. the most i get is a hint in my lore tab where you get something like "the talk of the town" achievement, and there was a part with john wolf where he nodded at the fact that i defeated jack the lad before. so it mostly comes down to me just headcanoning the hell out of the interactions i do get to make it make sense in a way. which brings me to my second issue, where i thought that there would be more interactions with the "big three" (the characters from the promo trailers that we get to interact with in the beginning). from as much i could read and gather, without spoiling myself, there is not many interactions with them? and that makes me kinda disappointed because i was really excited and hoping to play with those characters more. i really want my character to feel like she made a lot of connections with people, be it good or bad. but i can only do that if i decide that's how it goes, it doesn't really happen in the game now to fangirling

i recently played the quest "maine chainsaw massacre" and i cackled like a gremling while taking swipes at all the zombs at the beach. that chainsaw is now my new favourite weapon. altho i cannot use it anymore (ノД`)・゜・。cri as you can see, there are zero zombs in front of me cuz i cut through em like butter mwahahahahah this game is so gay. MAM please. youre staring into my soul kjsdfjfd

Madame Roget please kiss me.

SO GAY.

my favourite monsters so far are: the revenant, jack-o-lantern (as ive mentioned), will-o-wisps, spectres, boogeyman, those little rock golems and scarecrows! i absolutely despise draug and familiars, zombies i can somewhat stomach (those are mainly just because ive fought sooo much of them, theyre annoying) tbh most quests that are there just sort of as a grind tactic i don't really like playing because i quickly get bored of them. my main form of entertainment were always story related quests. i got a lot of them over at kingsmouth and the savage coast (that part was awesome), buttt not so much at the blue mountain which is where im currently at. The black house was so cool and creepy to play! i love how in the lorebook its says "the black house stood silent.." and then you go up to it and it sounds like a stomach of a giant beast gurgling and moaning, all cracking wood, and of course, theres blood dripping from the ceiling *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ i just sorta headcanon those little things as maybe a normal person that has no ties to the world beyond would see that black house and not hear anything, they would just get this uneasy feeling to stay far far away, while the bees can see its true nature. the atlantic island park was *chefs kiss* i honestly wish we had more quest there and then the pumkin head jack!

when i tell you i squealed from excitement when i found out i got to continue to play this story

lmaoo "By the way, you do have other priorities on the island." i love sonnac sm

best quest. john wolf best quest giver.

hes so dreamy *swooooooooooooon*

oh my god JUST KISS ALREADY

lucile will marry the heck out of him. BEST OTP <3

and since were at the end, here are some honourable ss:

fighting hellspawn like a pro

same energy

and this cursed pic of smug lucile <3

i need to mention for posterity that the first time i played this game and walked into this theme park, i lasted about five seconds before i turn right the fuck around because the air started to warp around me and i was not ready for reality to nose dive like that.

i went back awhile later and the air warped and the creepy music was playing and i walked past the gates this time, stood there with my axe in hand to see what was going to leap out at me and then walked right back out again because nothing did but i Did Not Trust It.

seriously, this game gave me the heebie jeebies every single game session. do NOT even talk to me about Blue Canyon Mine. or The Black House. i spent more time just standing there waiting for the weird shit to jump out and eat me than anything else, and i was almost never disappointed.

[skiasurveys]

tell me about your crush!!!!!!! - Hes my boyfriend. I love him a lot, he’s funny, he loves gaming. He likes anime ( lmaooo), he is white but hes part turkish and german. but born in canada haha. He’s 7 years older than me (or 6.5) , we went to the same high school except he graduated WAYYYY BEFORE ME. He knows a lot of weird stuff. He loves MMOs and is on the leader boards for ESO which i find hilarious. We met on OKcupid which is a dating app. He says hes serious about me lol.

tell me about your ex-  well my most recent ex, i dated for only 3 months. we dated from Nov 2015- feb 2016. He broke up with me on Valentines day last year, which is funny tbh because he spent lots of money on me and then broke up wtih me. apparently i was too invested which makes no sense. I didn’t really connect well with him. we were more like close friends than boyfriend/girlfriend. He was slightly autisic or whatever so he didn’t really understand sarcasm sometimes which was really fucking annoying. I would make jokes and he took them way too serious or hard and would get mad at me -.-. He wasnt a bad boyfriend but he was just not my type. I said i loved him even though i didn’t. i was in love with the idea. I knew i didn’t want to spend my life with him. we never connected super great either, like we had nothing in common except the fact that we liked video games but he played shit games like (League of Legends). After we broke up, we met a week later to clear shit up i guess and it was super awkward and i was acually over him within a day so i was like this sucks and is weird. Then a month after we broke up he wanted to hang out but then he stated he wanted to have a hook up.. we never had sex when we dated either so that was weird -.-  Then he started dating other people and if i messaged him asking how he was, he would get all pissed off and said we couldnt talk any ore and i was like whatevr thats fine but then his relationships never worked out and he would break up within a week LOL and then tried to date me again. THEN when I started dating Connor ( my current bf) he got really jealous and mad, and tried to tell me to get out. Then later in my relationship like 6 months he asked if we could fuck (three some) and i was like i rather kill myself, then he would randomly text me asking if connor and i broke up, and then would claim he missed me but all he wanted was a booty call. He got super mad when he found out i fucked connor lol. anyways, i told him to fuck off and respect me and connor and he finally stopped being weird. But i recently deleted him off Facebook because I was so tired of seeing him on fb, so yeah. we dont really talk anymore. thank god.

tell me about your day It was okay. I slept til 2 Pm ( yikes..) and picked up Pills and played video games. nothing to do.

tell me about your dreams  I cant remember my dreams actually.

tell me about your drama  I have really no drama in my life.

tell me about yourself :-)  I am 20 years old, I like cats, mcdonalds fries. I am a art student in college. I am dating someone, its our one year today. I live in Canada..i like taking surveys too much

tell me about something awkward/embarrassing  I once had sex and then got my period during it and that was super awkward and embarrassing, and i was so embarrassing that i hid in the bathroom for 20 minutes and he was like “yo its okay jen” and its still awkward when i think about it.

tell me about a funny story or something  Lol, okay. this story is like 4 years old but whatever. so i was in grade 10 at the time and I went to this Youth Conference with my youth group from church. So my best friend was with me and we were at the concerts and stuff, and she had to use the washroom but she didn’t want to go alone so i went with her. So I use the stall next to hers but I come out way before she does. I am washing my hands and she comes up to me and washes her hands super quick turns to me and says we need to get the hell out of here, and before we run out this girl comes out of the stall that i was in and my friend turns to her and says “ Im so sorry i thought you were my friend” and im like what....so we leave quickly and she tells me. so basically This girl was wearing the same shoes as me and same colour pants as me, and my friend thought it was me so she grabbed the girls leg from under the stall and the girl was like “wtf???!” and so she thought that girl was me, and i honestly can’t stop laughing whenever i think of this because its just something that she would do. I never let her forget.

tell me your favourite band/artist/album/song  My fav band is Of Monsters and Men. They are from Iceland, and they sing different songs. They have a unique sound too. I love every song they produce.

tell me about your favourite meme  I can’t just pick one..

tell me about your favourite fic  I dont read fanfiction really.

tell me a secret ;)  um. when i was 18 i almost banged some 34 year old because I was stupid and actually thought he liked me LOL. Thank god i got rid of him. LOL i still laugh at my stupidity 

tell me a lame joke/bad pick-up line are you a astronaut cus your ass is out of this world.

tell me about your favourite tumblr user(s)  I don’t really have a FAV..i love all my mutuals.. 

tell me about your least favourite tumblr user(s)  I only dislike people who are super self righteous..who think they are always right.. who give out false info..especially people who use their followers for money..etc

tell me what you’re thinking about  just life.

confess your sins  I sometimes lie a lot but thats usually just to get out of shit LOL rant about stuff!!!  Not really a rant. But i super duper hate it when people leave you on “read” idk its super annoying. Like if you cant talk just say youll talk to me when youre off work/etc but i hate it when they have no excuse. Im fine if its a few minutes or whatever but when they just dont reply especially if im asking a question it just gets so fucking annoying. If i know youre busy its differen’t. But idk i just wish people would just tell me they wouldnt be texting that much a certain day or at leas jjust reply something quick. it takes 2 seconds..

let’s talk about the sex because sex ed isn’t talked about enough  dont have sex until you know you could handle a child. 

talk to me about astrology stuff!!!  I dont know anything about that stuff.  talk to me about aliens!!!  why havent the aliens taken me..yet..

[tsurumyaru]

i should probably check my wow blog i whisper, staring blankly at the logout button,,, bu,,,t,,,,,

tho tbh, i have no will whats so ever to play wow. I have a TON of drafts on lorstandian to make into in game jokes, but i just.. i bought wow time last month, logged in twice, and left. best 100k ive ever spent. /sarcasm/ thank god half my time on wow is spent farming and i think i have 200k ish left bhfju i mean no one talks to me on wow really so what is the point? the only person i care abt on there is jenn and i hhhhhh cant face her anymore!!! so looks good!!!! id play for my guild because that was fun but they died out when the gm got a new job and moved into no internet land. honestly if my wow blog didnt have 2k+ followers i wouldnt feel so bad abt never updating, but idk, the only shit i reblog/anything there is my own content and im just,what do i do if i never log in? wheezes. i didnt even touch the new legion patch, i just did noble garden and... thats it...

i guess ill go check that blog anyhow, rip me. i love lorstandian, but honestly im just soooo,,,, i dont,, love the game anymore. i love my wow ocs, i love my characters, i love my mounts, but its all so repetitive when you’ve played for about 12?? 13?? years. o well. maybe one day, ill play again. whats the point of a mmo if it just makes you feel lonely? Its to the point of ‘the memories are more fun than the current situation.’
