#average playthrough

[uroboros-if]

how many words does the average playthrough have?

There's no real easy way to answer this because. unlike ChoiceScript, Twine only offers total word count including the code. However, what I got from literally just... copying and pasting the text into another word document, it works out to ~15k per playthrough.

Some choices I made:

Only clicked on the first choices of everything, except for if it put me into an infinite loop. This essentially went through every possible scene (though not all its variations due to personality and skill differences) because the choices are structured in a way that exiting out of a dialogue branch was the last option.

Clicked on every available looking link and counted every looking passage

Only counted one line per customization (only black hair, brown eyes, compact body type, but didn't count anything for skin tones)

Did not count the text in the choices at all (the ones with stars)

Did not count anything in the codex or profile at all

Counted each description for the skills once.

Didn't include the text from the very beginning, tooltip text from distinctive features, or anything while picking pronouns

My approximate guess is that the true word count of the game without coding may be ~35k (30% deducted from word count with code), so perhaps one playthrough without using the back button to peek at other options may be enough to see about half of it all!

Thanks so much for asking 💕💕

[buttercupshands]

Finished themmm

Accidentally

I planned on going to bed early as a celebration, but then I looked at my unfinished pf of Siffrin in the sketchbook and boom couple of hours of sketching, lining and coloring and the beans are now officially paper figured

I can now randomly take photos of them in a forest whenever I feel like it. I have couple pfs on me every day just in case of this happening

hi so uh

i have a playthrough of pokemon shield in which im only using poison types (as soon as i got access to them) and so uh here's my team of dumbass creatures

explained below the cut (left-right, top-bottom), we have:

Bria, a sassy roserade who's kinda just there cuz i like roserade, and is thus a swing slot. functionally, she's kinda just a diet nikki with grass stab who happens to also serve cunt

Chia, a quirky garbodor who's my lead in major battles. she sets up spikes+tox spikes and explodes. the sweetest fuckin thing

Niro, a timid low-key toxtricity who mainly functions as electric stab. he's the resident chill guy who lowkey (heh) doesn't give a fuck

Nikki, a timid haunter who's my special-attacking nuke. she's kinda just Bria +speed, ice coverage, and stab on shadow ball but -grass coverage. but who needs grass coverage. she is a nefarious schemer

Ura, a quiet skuntank who's my physical attacker and main source of coverage. dark stab, flamethrower, dig, and a psychic immunity are quite nice to have. she's a powerhouse in battle and incredibly sleepy out of battle

and Quoisse, a bashful toxapex who stalls and has water stab. also my primary second-choice in double battles cuz blockhaus (i forgot its english name) is cool and it's cooler than protect. ironically, she highkey hates everyone except me

i also have Vic, a bashful toxicroak who shares the swing slot with Bria, but i didn't have space on the canvas to draw him and was too exhausted to do him separately. so i'll draw him later. he's basically just fighting stab and earthquake user since dig isn't really the best ground type option bc it's vulnerable to said eq (which Ura is already weak to) and two turns is a long time. he likes breaking things, such as the bones of steel types (do steel types have bones?)

so yeah those are my dogs :>

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

Been a while since I've submitted one so here's a The 🐍 take: Sometimes it's good to go out on a limb and use community claimed "F Tier" units because sometimes those units aren't actually bad, they're just slow or have unreliable RNG or something else minor to make them less appealing for ironman or LTC runners. Use that mediocre character, and you might just get a new random favorite character because they hit 3 crits in a row despite low hit chance!

[sketchy-tour]

Just watched a playthrough of Mouthwashing and now my brain chemistry is changed forever.

[colors-echo]

In stars and time has been gradually reeling me in over several weeks with lots of people's cool fanart, and a couple days ago I finally got it on my switch. Dude it's so good. There have been a lot of posts going around about like, finding media that is tailored in a way that aligns with your interests, and how it doesn't always mean that you'll get hooked into it. But oh boy am I hooked. The fixation is strong in this one. I should have been in bed hours ago. Send help lol

My brain is still also obsessed with tma, so it's leading to some very cursed crossover thoughts, but I'm saving that until I finish the game.

I want to go look at people's art so bad, I know it's all great, but I'm trying to avoid spoilers :,)

Anyway, if anyone needs me I'll be doing dishes while rotating siffrin in my head

Damn idk i still don't even know my name, let me think this through

[perilegs]

when hbomberguy released the plagiarism video i was all "damn i've never heard of this guy in my entire life" only to open his channel to be met with a few videos i had seen already. now youtube keeps recommending me videos that make me go "oh shit i've been meaning to watch that for ages!" and. theyre all from him too. i think my selective face memory might be a curse

[furryprovocateur]

i've reached the part of octopath traveler where i have literally only one thing left to do (the final dungeon/boss) but that's allegedly going to require me to use all 8 of my characters despite no spillover experience existing and no convenient way of grinding existing. boys this shit was bad when FFVI did it and it's bad here
