How did you manage to handle not one, but FOUR separate accounts in fl? I recently made the account for my HD little guy but having to do the tutorial again just seems miserable

there's... weirdly several answers to that question, actually??

a HUGE part of it is due to the way FL is structured. the 10-minute action timer is a core part of the game on a fundamental level, and the fact that i can very easily run out of stuff to do on one character and thus have an excuse to quickly and easily swap to another is just... convenient? satisfying? i'm not entirely sure how to explain it. the fact that i can make progress even while i am fundamentally simultaneously Not Making Progress is like pure dopamine for my freak insane awful little brain. there's just something really pleasing about spending all of my actions pursuing The Goal Of The Day™ on one account before casually swapping to another and doing the same without feeling like i'm wasting time or acting to the first account's explicit detriment. the downtime helps! the recharge time helps! the structure really really works!!

i'm technically only actively playing three, maybe two accounts minimum. the only reason the fourth (the one that'll be my future BaL playthrough) currently exists at all is so i can get his earlygame completely out of the way now and not have to waste time running through it all later, when what i actually want to do is play the ambition i've made myself wait a full year to play. and also getting free goodies as seasonal stuff happens,, something something surprise tools to help us later. the only two accounts i'd say i'm really "actively playing" at the moment are caeru and lark- and of the two, lark takes the most priority, since his ambition is the one i'm currently pursuing in earnest. for a couple months now- despite being My Main FL Character- the scoundrel has actually been pretty inactive on a gameplay front outside of the occasional progression in TLC and discordance content. purely by virtue of having Very little left to do outside of Very long-term grinds and vanities. they're in their "now what?" "now you can start playing the game" era. they've graduated to previous protagonist background cameo in a sequel anime series. they're like the yin FLPC equivalent of red at the top of mount silver. they're Literally just vibing rn. i only keep posting about them regardless because i'm insane and i will never ever ever ever ever let that bat go. but yeah, big TLDR, outside of doing the bare minimum to keep making waves/notability up every week, i'm not actually spending that much time on accounts i'm not currently actively interested in playing. and that accounts for way more gaming spoons than you might think.

i have a virtually lifelong history of playing MMOs, especially and specifically world of warcraft. i was born in the endless grind for useless video game pixel vanities and/or bragging rights. molded by it. you all have merely adapted to doing the same piece of content a pointlessly excessive amount of times for literally no reason besides whimsy and folly. me? i've done my time. i've served my sentence. i've spent weeks doing the original burning crusade netherwing dailies. i've devoted days to running praetorium over and over and over again, back-to-back, nonstop, long before square enix cut it in half and made it NOT take at minimum an hour and a half per run. i've perfected my silverwastes + auric basin goldfarming strategies. i've (almost) crafted dragonwrath tarecgosa's rest. i've killed the sha of anger so many times its dying scream of agony is embedded into the very fabric of my being. ""only"" doing making your name content four times over? that is nothing to me. it means nothing to me. it is so infinitesimal i can do the persuasive seduction quests in my sleep. it's not a matter of handling misery, or having the capacity, or even sighing as i remember the brass embassy raid segment of the watchful questline seriously i don't know why i keep forgetting that exists or what even is my problem with it i just am so consistently mildly inconvenienced by it and its highly specific resource requirements and it is the worst thing ever. maybe i'm just so used to the scoundrel's near-infinite money and troves of disposable items that i've completely forgotten what being poor is like. despite having done that step 3 fucking times now. ahem. anyway. i have transcended the feeble mortal bindings of my resistant-to-grinding flesh and ascended to a higher plane of enlightenment, they may call me insane but they will be the ones left laughing when they see what that "insanity" has wrought, i've usurped them, i've usurped them all-

hacks and coughs and awkwardly clears my throat. i mean. uh. um. Ahem.

the empress' court artistry + tales of the university nerfs helped too.

#and yes #before you ask #i have forgotten which account has which items/has done which content many a time #i think the most painful incident was forgetting to keep up the scoundrel's making waves while i was still playing nemesis with caeru #given that im trying to build it up to 12 and reset their specialization... that was uniquely painful #then again they have like 40 BDR so it wasnt actually that inconveniencing lmao #fallen london #ask #long post #sorry for the infodump + sudden villain monologue.#all jokes and personal accounts aside i totally get the apprehension abt doing that stuff again #it's not for everyone. not by a long shot.#im only doing this because im genuinely invested and in love with this silly little browser game #and way back when i started i made a (only half metaphorical) solemn oath to experience all of its ''main stories''#and truly see everything it has to offer #(bc i like. physically cant do hyperfixations by halves. i need to consume Everything abt the thing or i'll explode)#(and even then i'll probably explode anyway. it's either completely drop it or go All In until it stops taking up so much space in my brain #(and. given the track record. that is not happening with FL for a while yet)#but like. that isnt actually normal behavior. just. just to clarify.#from what ive seen a VAST majority of people do not go out of their way to play literally every ambition #and that is so valid. it is so overwhelming. you have to juggle so much.#you have to play the earlygame So Many Goddamn Times.#(as i said. served my time. did my sentence. i am my scars. etc etc)#the best advice i can give as someone who's so completely desensitized to that repetition it doesnt even phase me anymore?#the same advice i can stress to all FL players. legitimately just take ur time with it. play when you want to.#dont when you dont.#sometimes you have to grit your teeth and bear things. and when it comes to alts you Will have to grit your teeth and bear it all again #but the beauty of this being a game that one plays for fun is that unlike. say. crushing deadlines or annoying coworkers in real life #you are completely within your power to decide when where and if you want to grit and bear it all #..wow this is ADVANCED yin rambling holy shit. i actually reached the tag limit. i think this ask should be put on some kind of list

being in my brain right now is like being in a tank that is constantly filling with water and the only way to drain the water to make sure u dont drown is to play zelda

#every day while i am at work the tank is filling............................#today is my friday tho so like. can't wait for 2 days of no other obligations >:)#bel speaks #i might get silly and actually beat totk. and stop procrastinating doing that. haha.#i played the first half of this game when it first came out and then didnt play again for a year #so i dont remember anything i did before this point #you know what that means.................#replay once i finish #this is EXACTLY what happened to me with botw. and EVERY zelda game ive ever played. i've talked about this before #idk the game just needs to marinate a bit. it's like brief big obsession and then i take a break.#and then out of the blue i am trampled by The Hyperfixation #of all of my fandoms. truly the one that has come back to me the most. i think i need a loz tattoo. i think it's time

anyway sorry for being inactive for like a month - i was busy and also i got into my first dnd campaign and unfortunately i developed brain worms for it and my half orc cleric 😔

i might post later some doodles i did for it :3c

#my posts #rambling #i am so hyperfixated on it you have no idea kjndjjbdjhbd #We’re playing in Neverwinter after the eruption #which means everything is falling apart - the city; our guild and some demons are coming out of a giant chasm in the ground #We just entered the chasm for the first time and already have some imps on our tail kjnfkjnf should be easy enough #we’re doing it through text chat instead of planning a 2-3 hour session every now and then #which means we add to the story bit by bit every day; and ngl this is a game changer bc prior to this #i could not find a ttrpg group to play or dm for bc no one around me is interested or has time #but now i finally get to play :3 #Anyway i’m playing a half orc cleric with death domain and i’m kind of obsessed with him #bc i was reeeeaaally self indulgent when designing him and mking up his personality kjbfjhbfjhbf #Basically i like huge men that could crush me but also blush if you give them a kiss on the cheek (or even just a hug kjhfkjhf)#he’s totally not inspired by muriel the arcana; whaaaaat no waaaaay

i like literally wish i didnt feel compelled to rewatch and relisten to the same things over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again its like actually really annoying and frustrating because i just feel like im constantly stuck in a loop doing the same things over and over but thats just literally what its like being autistic like its just frustrating cos i dont want to have to be constantly fighting with myself over it because its like okay we dont need to get stuck in the daily loop of walking in circles for hours listening to the same songs we've heard 200 times or sitting and watching things we've seen 30 times and there are better ways we could be spending our time but the compulsion is SO strong and its just Omfg like its just annoying and horrible because I have to force myself to try to break out of patterns I wish the constant compulsion I have to do the same things over and over and over and over and OVER AND OVER wasnt there at all because it would make things way easier for me and it just makes me feel so dumb.

#Like please for the love of god can we stop doing the same things over and over and go have new experiences oh my god #And i dont know its hard not to beat myself up constantly #im thinking about how im back into the same thing i was into for literally like 5 years when i was younger and i love it so much but it als #causes me despair because im like so im just spinning my wheels but like having a special interest that brings you joy your whole life is #the whole thing with being autistic and its fine but im just like ughhh UAEGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!#how it feels to go back to your old hyperfixation and its the guy with the chains on his wrists.#anyways omfg sorry that all i do on here is either post autistically about this band or agonize for some reason about being into this band.#if i could just calm the fuck down.#its literally fine but im like soooo im just walking in a circle forever and ever #but if i could just stop feeling guilty for no reason i would be having so much more fun #but the circular/obsessive thought patterns also mean i constantly worry about the same thing . when will i shut up #i just had a bad day because i basically have done nothing but stare at screens and its fine but i feel Aueahehaeufhehweughwhgdjhgdf #Its pathetic though like i have to fight with myself to pause music to even put on a podcast or something and its just so like. oh my god i #a grown adult come on #but i literally will like start an album too and then be like well i cant turn it off i have to listen to the whole thing and ill do that #with 4 albums and just walk and walk and then im like so i wasted 2 hours #etc etc its just god i dont know i feel so frustrated with myself constantly this doesnt have anything to do with a specific thing anymore #its just the general like. i do the same things every day im just stuck in this pattern of behavior constantly it makes me so frustrated #i didnt do Any of the things i actually wanted to try to do today so im just like.#im at least gonna go play guitar for a few hours

*Looking up Rhombus of Ruin playthroughs on YouTube* What the fuck do you mean that game came out 6 years ago I remember people being excited about it like it was yesterday

#sky screams into the void #this may also contradict with what i thought was my first awareness of psychonauts which was the milkman clip #because i dont remember when i watched that. but i do remember rhombus of ruin coming out and people being excited #and then psychonauts 2 came out and i was confused because i thought the sequel had already been released but i think ror is a spinoff #anyways i cant believe its taken me this long to watch or play psychonauts if i was aware of it at least SIX YEARS AGO #15 year old me get some taste! that mascot horror game is not a good one to be hyperfixating on! /j

NEVER forgive Riot

You're in your right to be angry and to be resentful about the past.

I have not forgotten about this, because its probably one of the most disgusting vile shit Riot has ever done

Matt Dunn, Writer of Kindred, Pyke, Ekko, Ornn (and many more), fired while his family was struggling with heavy health issues : r/leagueoflegends (reddit.com)

#listen im a hypocrite let me vent for a bit #i dare to say (undiagnosed) that league is my hyperfixation #i fucking love pyke with all my heart you cannot even understand #i love playing the game. i love the story #i love coming here to ramble I MISS when i came here to ramble #i love talking about league with my friends the people i met here are amazing #i hate riot and i hate when they do this because it makes me genuinely angry #but at the same time i KNOW im a hypocrite because i ramble and i love when riot does cool things and when they do cool animations #or cool characters. skins. whatever it is. i really do love it #but i cannot cover the sun with my thumb and at the same time i feel so torn #i love league but i hate riot and i feel like that cant work out but i adore league too much to drop it #my fucking (ex) best friend turned to be a fucking groomer and a child abuser and league is the only thing i can cope with #i cannot help but think all my (undiagnosed) hyperfixations are tainted

reluctant cupid | lando norris social media au

pairing: lando norris x fem bff!reader

you could set your bestie up with a driver or you could confess your feelings? lando norris is dumb.

based on this request: Could you write something about being best friends with lando and he tries to help set you up with another driver you have a crush on, but then he realises he actually likes you so he has to sabotage all the wingmanning he’s done and you end up together Idk if that makes sense 😭🫶🏼🫶🏼 -@mbappesleftthigh

user26: she's literally described herself as a terminal yearner i feel like she'll throw herself in and will get hurt

user27: UNLESS! this is all part of the plan? what if lando set her up with a messy guy like carlos so he can be the shoulder to cry on and that's how he slides in?

user28: that's very convoluted, very rom-com but i'll take it if it means we get lando and y/n together in the end

Ok. I’m still trying to gather my thoughts and settle my hyperfixation after episode 3 of the Percy Jackson show, but one of my conclusions is that this is one of very few adaptations that actually understands the term ‘adaptation’ and furthermore what makes one successful.

On a fundamental level, understanding and respecting the source material is a must. You need to not just know the bullet points of the story, but you need to know the ‘why’s’- why does this story need to be heard, why do people like it, why does it stand out from the others in it’s genre, etc.

Second, you need to deconstruct the source material and piece it back together in a way that makes sense for the new format. Copy-pasting almost never works, since there will inevitably be discrepancies between the readers’ imagination and the adaptation that can distract from immersion.

Third, you need to provide something new. Why does this story deserve to be told in a different format? What can this add to the original themes of a story? What can we change to make the message come across more on screen? Will this dialogue really be as funny when it’s said out loud?

We’ve seen a lot of terrible “adaptations” of animation and books and musicals into movies/tv shows, and I think even among the better ones there is a dissonance between the desire to stay faithful to the source and the desire to make a good adaptation, with whatever changes that may necessitate.

I think while we’ve watched the casting of this series, the hints here and there, and final the premiere with bated breath, they’ve been playing the long game. They cast Walker as Percy before he was in the Adam Project. Many people expressed…unsavory…feelings when Leah was cast as Annabeth, but those of us that trusted the team behind this project- including the author himself- did our best to welcome her and were repaid tenfold with her performance in this episode particularly.

Most of the scenes in this episode were not at all how I imagined them in the book, but I adored it. They took what they were given and expanded on it. They created a mini-arc for the trio learning to trust each other. They gave Medusa a labyrinthine lair. Annabeth is a 12 year old walking into a convenience store for the first time in 6+ years with $200 in her pocket, of course she’s gonna buy as much as she can carry.

The love and care and artistry that went into this single episode brings me so much joy and gives me so much hope. Like I was already excited for a faithful adaptation, but seeing these characters come to life on screen, once you see their chemistry with each other and how they speak and push and pull at each other’s emotions, it has never been more clear to me the amount of care and foresight that went into this show.

Rick said that these kids are the characters he created and for like 2 years I’ve trusted that that was true, but today it was proven beyond the shadow of a doubt.

I am just…in awe.
