baldur’s gate 3 did not even remotely deserve to win game of the year that shit isn’t even properly finished, especially considering some of the games it went up against. they only added the epilogue in major patch fucking 5 and act 3 is STILL barebones as shit. and THIS beat tears of the kingdom AND spider-man 2????? nah i’m pissed about this, i’m fully convinced they ignored actual game quality in favour of what was hyped on social media close to award season
okay after thinking past the initial anger i’m adding this on the end just to make a more coherent point. goty is “given to a video game judged to deliver the best experience across creative and technical fields” (goty wikipedia page introduction). i fully believe that bg3, with its plethora of bugs, technical issues, and other mechanical problems that very much have been game-breaking for some people (and even when it isn’t, still wildly frustrating), very much does not deliver “the best experience across technical fields” by a long shot. i will say the creativity part is down to personal taste and therefore i would find this win a lot more acceptable if goty didn’t make any comment on mechanical functioning of the game, but the thing is it DOES. so because of this i am now sulking
#and i LIKE this game#okay it’s more of a love-hate relationship at this point but still there is definitely love there#and i want to see it be better#i WISH it was a game that i felt deserved to win goty i really do#but it just doesn’t feel fair. it feels like social media hype favouritism#and it’s a huge disappointment to see#i’m not saying they deserved no awards btw. just not goty#not maintagging this#it’ll probably show up in search results anyway but i don’t want to actively invite the fandom to yell at me#i will tag it as critical tho#bg3 critical#magnus posts

*if your gender and sexuality brought on different feelings, vote for whichever you want. (whichever feeling was stronger, or first, or however you want to decide).
If you’re comfortable with it, put your sexuality and/or gender identity in the tags along with the feeling you experienced upon discovering it so we can see if any trends appear with correlations between certain identities and feelings!
#i’ll go first for me it was a huge relief when i realized i was asexual#the nonbinary thing was a relief too but mixed with more anxiety#i tried to do an even spread of positive and negative emotions#but i sincerely hope none of you felt disappointed :(#queer#polls#queer polls#lgbtqia+ polls#self discovery#asexual#nonbinary#aromantic#aroace#lesbian#gay#bisexual#pansexual#demisexual#graysexual#transgender#intersex#polyamorous#polysexual#sorry if i missed any identities in the tags im just one guy#i’ll tag more as i see them show up in your answers#hall of fame

just found out that a person in my art class that i really admire and look up to a lot is ALSO a star trek fan??? and it's literally the best feeling ever???
we nerded out about it together for like fifteen minutes afterwards and gosh i want to be their friend so bad. i didn't realize they could become even cooler but here we are
#i think i have a chance at their friendship too... i gotta take this seriously#star trek#i love you star trek#thank you for giving me something in common with this incredible person#and they're a huge geordi fan and seeing as i'm a huge data fan...? friendship is just inevitible. it's gotta happen#if i dont work up the courage to talk to them more by the time this class is over im gonna be so disappointed in myself

feelin kinda sad so eating an obscene amount of pasta
#YukiPri rambles#it's nothing serious#just have had a stream of unfortunate disappointments#nothing major and each time i'm like well ok that could have been worse and i'm glad it wasn't#but the cumulative result is just me kinda feeling droopy inside despite trying to continue lookin chipper outside#'wilted' i think is best descriptor for me rn#trying to tell myself that retail therapy isn't the answer here#In case folks are curious#the disappointments are:#1) dad was in a car accident and no one was hurt but gave me a huge scare#2) was given a day off at work in exchange for working a weekend and was looking forward to both#but they asked me last minute nevermind come in instead and i had to cancel all the plans i'd made and couldn't reschedule#3) movie i wanted to see on said day off is no longer playing in local theaters so it's either convince mum to drive an hour or give up#4) had an afternoon tea planned with mum and her friends and was looking forward to it for a month and only eating out this month#had reservations and outfit picked out and everything#but then a few days before landlord scheduled repairs for that day and wouldn't listen when we said we had plans#so i stayed home so mum could go and i'm glad she could go but sad#5) went to work this morning and there'd been a flood in the office from a customer leaving the bathroom sink running#and the torrent of water came down on my desk specifically ruining all of my books/personal stuff#i got reimbursed but it's just really sad bc some of those things were free/gifts that i can't get back and i hate throwing out books#especially ones i never got to read but they were completely drenched through and unsalvageable...#6) had an outing planned this weekend i was really looking forward to but we probably can't go bc weather is bad#i think there were a few others but that's most of the big ones#i am wilted and just want to curl up and not move

Unfriendly, very pointed reminder that people are allowed to mourn the total lack of Agathario backstory in the final episodes.
The people upset about it aren’t idiots- I’m very aware the work that must’ve gone into convincing Marvel to let Agatha have a canon, explicit, visible female love interest.
Seeing this woman-led, blatantly queer show exist where the main characters are queer and that’s simply accepted without conversation? It’s made me cry- genuinely- because it something that didn’t need to happen for the story to make sense, but still did.
Agatha being a canon LESBIAN is giant for us too- it’s always easier to convince networks to give us sapphic characters if it’s reasonable they’ll end up with men. There was never a chance in hell Agatha would- now for two reasons.
This is an undeniably huge win, and I adore this show for that (along with many, many other reasons).
But I’m also disappointed that we never got to see the positive half of the history that was clearly so integral to how Agatha and Rio interacted with each other. They had something much less complex once and I’m frustrated they basically told us this and then gave nothing.
People are allowed to criticize a show they love, whether it’s “valid” or not- and they’re allowed to feel disappointment while also acknowledging that all of this was an incredibly huge step.
#agatha all along#agathario#agatha harkness#agatha x rio#rio vidal#agatha spoilers#aaa#the disappointment is both narratively and very *very* personally#and that’s also okay!#people are allowed to be upset#it might be silly but media is extremely powerful#I’m not even a huge marvel person but this show#does genuinely mean a lot#I don’t get to see myself represented very often#to see it in such a unique and refreshing way? it’s important#and#I wish I could’ve gotten more#harassing Jac and/or Kathryn and Aubrey is obviously not what I mean either so don’t test me

i'm gonna log off for a while because i'm really mentally drained from constantly hearing how unhappy and disappointed some of you guys were with both SB and CH'snendings and developments.
i know some of you guys come from a good place and mean no harm but imagine working on something for so long and then you yourself are already sad about how things ended but you wanna use it as a way to do better next time but people constantly tell you how you should do better next time and its always "i was so excited but it never came" and "i wished things would have gone this way" after you spent days crying out of frustration because your brain didn't corporate.
people who have never written (one shots or series doesnt matter) don't know the burden of leaving unfinished works up there. i keep telling you guys that i tried so hard to somehow give you guys an ending because if i hadn't you guys would have never received ANY ending so i tried to make the best of it.
i dont take the hate to heart anymore bc i couldnt care less and i know as a writer i should be open to criticism but i'm a little tired of my work being constantly nitpicked when i do this for fun.
i know updating daily was what burnt me out pls stop telling me that i obviously overestimated myself i fucking know.
whatever, it actually doesn't matter anymore because CH is over and i dont think i'll ever write smaus that long ever again bc the criticism is so not worth the mental effort and stress.
i do this for FUN. you know how artists doodle in their notebooks, this is what this blog is to me. i make mistakes, i over/underestimate things and myself bc this is life. it's just..not that deep for y'all to constantly camp in my inbox and make me feel bad about it when i already accepted it.
i'm gonna do some self reflection and think about it all so take care babies 🤍
#; rambles#i've literally been receiving huge paragraphs about just how excited people were about certain things in both CH and SB and several people#have told me how i should have just stopped daily updating and listening to y'all and taking breaks and not burn myself out bc now they're#disappointed and it sounds a LOT like my parents when they realised im just another burnt out former gifted child so#i'll see you guys around 🤍

tad bit upset because from what i’ve seen, simon and roger don’t look like poc in the graphic novel. most of the scenes where they are shown, they have dark lighting and they look white in shadows so if they’re not poc that’s actually really disappointing for me because that would be like the millionth time that anyone in charge of a lotf adaptation refuses to acknowledge this
#lotf#lord of the flies#i am PRAYING that they’re poc#because if not then the graphic novel isn’t even worth it to me#why hire an artist to depict a book if you depict it wrong#btw this is NOT the artists fault and the artist is not to blame for this#it would just be a huge disappointment to me because they’re very clearly stated to be poc#IN ALSO LIVID ABOUT SAMNERIC#THEY HAVE EXTREMELT BLONDE HAIR CANONICALLY#AND THEY MADE THEM BRUNETTE WHICH ISNT THAT DEEP#BUT THEYRE MY FAVOURITES AND I LOVE THEM SO TO SEE THEM BE SHOWN INCORRECTLY IS MAKING MY SKIN C R A W L#atp hire @ralphingly to do the graphic novel

HELPP i found out about character AIs and im losing it over calling deltarune sans "a more manipulative personality" 😭😭 like whatt we've only seen this man like 2 times
sorry im being a hater hgfjdks but you're the sans understander
lmaoo character.ai, look where the fall of ai dungeon got us, smh. thank you for the compliment though!
#i think those ai chaeracter rps are goofy as hell#i've played around with them a few times to see what it was all about. they play up the personalization too much it's not THAT customizable#i tried feeding it some sans lines back when i was doing the rp to see if the machine was capable of identifying his speaking style#since i'd essentially done the same thing just manually. i wanted to see how good it could get it#huge disappointment as predicted#i WILL give character.ai one thing though. hilariously not for its characters. there's this one tool called brainstorming that's super hand#you throw ideas/concepts at it & it throws back clarifying questions based on what you sent in. like playing tennis against a wall#essentially a dynamic version of those writing tip lists like what's the significance of this event for x. what conflict arises etc#optimally this is stuff you do with a friend. and truly nothing beats brainstorming with another writer. honest.#but if you're fully throwing spaghetti at the wall in the roughest stages of an idea it's a quick way to cycle through some basic what-ifs#pretty fun toy all things considered. but it stops being useful the moment things start shaping up forreal#answered asks

"The Andes are huge. They'd have to organize the search in some way - like in zones. They were here yesterday. We saw them fly overhead. Today we heard them but didn't see them. I bet they're searching a different area." "That means they didn't see us." - La Sociedad de la Nieve/Society of the Snow (2023)
#la sociedad de la nieve#society of the snow#marcelo perez#fito strauch#numa turcatti#someone said to me they were disappointed that marcelo was sidelined in the movie#i didn't feel that way at all because i think the importance of his leadership was shown through him being the moral core of the group#so you're seeing a bunch of gifsets with him because i want to show how he really was hugely important#i just... have feelings. on a lot of things

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep - Radiant Garden
#kingdom hearts birth by sleep#khbbs#radiant garden#scenery#my gif#if only i could mod the game just to be able to roam freely with the camera because this world is so vast and beautiful#so many of these rooms are huge and i really wish i could zoom out and view them from a distance to just get a full sense of scope#also imagine my disappointment when we got to see this world remade in kh3 cutscenes but weren't given the opportunity to explore it

i dont want to be a debbie downer but i finally checked out the trailers for the new pack since im thinking about trying out some new gameplay and... am i losing my mind or do parts of the city look like recycled san myshuno ?? :(
#tbh when i watch the trailers now i cant believe how bad i think the style is#it hurts my eyes#i honestly think the game looks awful and so outdated atp#and one reason i stopped having fun was that it started feeling like a huge obstacle to hate the look of everything in the environment#not smth i could tweak but smth that needed to be completely overhauled through cc and editing :/#does that make sense to anyone else#& lukewarm take but there's just no charm left in the franchise & it's disappointing to see :(#lush.talk

Have you seen the demicolon?
yeah, i mean i've heard of it but like. idk i am surprisingly neutral on the concept? i mean it's a fun idea but also it's not really viable in a writing context (formatting-wise at least) so it just. eh.
(demicolon thing for context)
#not counting#ask tag#sorry to be disappointing#like i guess i see the idea but i can't actually implement it in normal text papers and this irritates me enough it just evens out#on a side note while i was trying to find this image i almost made a reddit account to argue with someone's five year old comment#it's FINE#but like also. they were just so confidently calling things that were either preexisting wingdings or like. de bazin ''fanfiction''#and their elaboration was linking to the wiki page for fanfic?? huge eyeroll#anyways. five year old reddit comments aside. i am absolutely neutral on the demicolon#sorry but i can't help it#also i really do hope that made sense as an answer

Valentine Vuong is a transfemme they/them enby, I am not accepting criticism at this time 😇
#wednesday spoilers#deadpool spoilers#not impressed with Val's character design in this issue suddenly having MASSIVE BAZONGAS#combined with Tasky misgendering them (without acknowledgement or correction)#it really feels like the narrative intent was to make SURE we know they're AFAB#so it was clear that the Valenpool closure convo was between Wade and A GIRL#hey marvel writers. I see your “Deadpool has to be with a girl” and raise you ”that girl has a dick and Wade LOVES it“#ugh. idk. the whole thing is leaving a bad taste in my mouth#Val's previous character designs did suggest afab but not strongly#their agab wasn't confirmed either way and I really liked that#because like? it's not our business? what's in their pants or down their shirt?#(obligatory disclaimer that of course enbies and transmascs can have a majestic rack and still be 100% their gender)#(I know a lot of pre-op and non-op trans men!)#(but in this specific context that doesn't feel like what they were trying to convey)#(in an ideal world there would be be more than one enby character in the entire fucking universe 😭)#(so the burden of “good representation” wouldn't be all on Val's shoulders)#(but here we are. and so the small choices they make about the character have a HUGE impact)#I guess the curse of being a comics fan is hating the portrayal of your fave 90% of the time#still it's disappointing#ANYWAY Val makes their own E#and they bought those [redacted] with merc money and they were worth every penny#valentine vuong#deadpool (2024)#valenpool#deadpool#wade wilson#gender blender#water logs

The thing I hate and love about Cassie's dad's narrative is how it was used.
I remember almost crying and throwing up once it was revealed that he was killed and shoved into mask bot, literally dooming his daughter.
I'm someone who enjoys the emotional element of a story just as much as the narrative element of a story. Him literally being used as a tool for Steel Wool feels so unsatisfying to me because there was so much potential.
Him being Bonnie bro is a nice easter egg and all and also ties in with the theme of karma because of what he did when he was young but there's still this thing bothering me about it.
Like- so what? So what if he was one of the bullies? It's cool and all but at least give me some relevance to other than just a mention and a mask!
Other than that he has basically no lore relevance. I want him to be important to the storyline! This is why I theorized at one point that he was going to be the protagonist of SoTM so that he had at least has SOME more relevance in the plotline.
Him being another Jeremy is so insignificant to me. I want to feel a connection with the character. I want to feel sadness. I want to feel dread. I want to feel sorrow because we don't know if he was a good dad or not. We know so little about him!!
Cassie might have lost an actually good parent and knowing this franchise there are very few good parents.
It's just... So frustrating.
I'm personally someone who dislikes Cassies dad, but I think ur ask is a perfect example of how they handled him wrong. with the current evidence, it really is just looking like Cassies dad will be a Jeremy, someone who existed to serve the plot and then die. but for like, months, SO many people thought he was more important, he built mxes, he set up the nodes in ruin, etc. it always infuriated me because Gregory vanessa and Freddy had always deserved that relevancy and to do those actions in the story to me. and I feel so much satisfaction that the evidence and canonicity has been like, leaned back towards them a lot, more than it ever was before
but again, I think that goes to show how much they didnt make their intentions with Cassies dad clear, and its hurting both sides, my side who hated him because it felt like he took screentime and story importance from characters who deserved it more, and your side, who genuinely like him as a character and were excited to see him more
it's just like. now both sides have had to experience disappointment regarding him. maybe I'm wrong about Cassies dad and things will change again, but it really is looking like hes a throwaway, which is satisfying to ME, but they handled his character in a way where people like you LIKED that he was prob lore relevant, so now that he isnt it's very unsatisfying to you
I wish they would just. make their intentions more clear. I have my own personal thoughts on if Cassies dad being lore relevant or not would be better or worse for the story regarding Gregory vanessa and freddys screentime, but the point is that both sides of the fans were let down in a way they didnt need to be. it's frustrating. it just would have been so much better if they conveyed that from the start.
tbh I dont even think hes gone forever and I think theres a chance he could have more going on. like, I thought it was really possible Cassies dad was the arcade guy from sb at some point, so maybe hes who freed Gregory from dr rabbit or something. and also, that plotline u were talking about about the emotion of the story with cassie and her dad, I feel like that wont be sweeped under the rug. I feel like theyll show Cassies grief over her dad at least once. if she has a mom itd be interesting thinking about/seeing how she would handle that grief with her mom. but these are all things that he wouldnt be like, actively doing present day. the 1st idea is a prequel thing, and the 2nd idea is just his death affecting another character, but maybe if something like that happened itd be satisfying for you as a Cassies dad fan
#i know ive been a huge cassies dad hater for months as u can see on my blog#but i dont want his fans to have to get disappointed and have a negative experince with the story bc they gave everyone the wrong standards#i dont blame anyone if theyre a fan of him so it sucks fhat it ended up this way#that they handled him so wrong that it was believed at some point that he was behind mxes and the nodes and stuff#but now he doesnt have anything going on again#once again its good for some people and bad for others#IM very happy about it. but it would have been better if they conveyed that he didnt do those things from the start#pandas.txt#pandas asks#thoughts#pre sotm

Saw a post abt the Sonic movies that was like "plz filter negativity posts better" which is GOOD AND TRUE you should be doing that. Ok. But then they kept going to imply that the criticisms of the Sonic movies are all entirely Personal and Ignorable and not like. Usually abt the horrific copaganda, misogynistic writing, and Paramount's disgusting zionism.... Guys a lot of ppls problem w the Knuckles show wasn't JUST a bastardization of Knuckles' character or thinking Wade was annoying or whatever, but like was focused on the grotesque Zionist message from that one episode 😭😭😭 you can enjoy something and still recognize that it has intrinsic and huge glaring flaws and talk abt them. I think actually you Should be speaking up abt the misogyny, zionism and propaganda the SCU supports and discusses, ESPECIALLY if you like the movies! Its important to be able to recognize these things in media and admit that even media you personally enjoy can be deeply problematic, instead of hiding it away and pretending those HUGE FLAWS aren't issues actually....
#scu neg#sonic movie negative#do you guys even have a specific single tag? genuine question#scu negative#like bro you just had to say 'plz tag negativity posts better :(' you didnt have to go on a tangent abt how sonic wachowski is a perfect#little angel ...#and writing off criticism abt the movie as 'personal issues' is also just. Mean. undermining ppls genuine investment in the characters#shadow means a lot to me. his storyline js extremely powerful. ofc im disappointed they fucked it up. thats personal but it has real world#consequence. taking a character whos entire plotline is driven by an anti-militant message and who is a genuine and powerful representative#of PTSD in media and making him. Whatever He Is Now is Bad Actually. even if you think thats just a personal take it still has Real Effects#and i dont expect the scu to be a masterpiece of art. i take sonic seriously but i understand that im maybe an Exception and also that#perceptions of characters change between literally Everyone. but i think its still fine to say that i dont trust the writers to tell the#story they want to tell. they very clearly Dont understand what made adventure-era sonic so powerful in the first place and thats a valid#take even if it is 'just a personal opinion'#ok sorry for getting heated. as a board-certified PTSD haver shadow the hedgehog is important to me its like i imprinted on him as a child#like. i dont think its a stretch to assume that theyre probably going to make shadow Dull and Lame compared to his old storylines. gerald i#already so fucked up that i honestly have lost all hope this movie will have good writing. and i can Expect good writing becuz this project#is from a huge corporation that can Afford good talent and Chose to do their movies this way instead#and they were like 'you guys cant b mad that the character you like didnt show up!' when the criticism for THAT is that the scu is doing#EVERYTHING in its power to AVOID adding new and substantial female roles to the cast. rouge not being there is a larger issue besides just#Missing Her. we have 3 reoccurring women/girl characters. out of a cast of roughly 13 main characters. cant you see how disgusting that is.#i think its 13 anyway hang on. im counting wade tom sonic tails knuckles shadow eggman gerald those two gun guys. yeah#'but theyre adding another woman character!' yeah.... and shes another military official..... when we coulda had Rouge the Bat???#thats not the win you think it is.........#ig theres sonics owl mom too genuinely forgot abt her tbh#she exists only to b a mom and die tho so she isnt rlly That Great as a woman character either#and maddie exists only to b Sonics Mom and rachel only exists to be the Funny Aunt and jojo only exists to be The Girl Cousin so......#SORRY ESSAY SORRY i feel very passionately abt sonic!!!! especially in this case!!!!!!!#ok well ig maria is there too but shes also just. Uhm. Ok. Look. i love maria robotnik. but she is a Plot Device not a character. sorry#wades family dont count either becuz. well. they suck NO NO NO JUST KIDDING
