You're right. You were never mine. Yet I was yours.

the ballad of fancy uncle chucklefuck, pt. 7 (in which he almost dies and also actually expresses himself kind of.)

while i'm here, who wants a Fancy Uncle Chucklefuck update!

(previously on fancy uncle chucklefuck: 1, 2, 3 (look at the reblog for the update), 4, 5, 6)

when last we left him, Fancy Uncle Chucklefuck was feeling a bit awkward after the whole double whammy of "local god threatened him with death" and "party was less than stoked about HIS god (chucklefuck prime, remember him??) rifling through their trauma to psychically reinforce its protections"

he was kind of hanging back from a bunch of things as a consequence, playing more into the Observer than Face role, lightly terrified of sleeping and sucking the party back into some kind of divine nightmare zone

how do you solve neurotic insomnia? YOU GO MURDER SOME VAMPIRE KOBOLDS with a very large tiefling who you were 90% sure was going to kill you five minutes ago but sometimes these things work out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

and/or it's only one vampire kobold and it very nearly murders you instead? hahahhaa. (AC 9 baybEE.)

consequently uncle chucklefuck was actually passed out during the clearing out of the rest of the vampire kobold den -- in part bc i was running the session :P

however the rest of the party did a splendid job of simply obliterating the beasties. good job, gang. y'all are terrifying.

(they did befriend one (1) vampire kobold, Beetle, called such bc she is very good at skittering, and also bc she is forever going where she is not wanted. Beetle was v eager to help with the murder of her brethren but also due to the aforementioned terrifying violence, the party did not NEED help, so she has skittered off. thankfully the very large tiefling's Intimidation check means she is NOT presently trying to eat village children. boo >:( )

anyway during some anti-vampire trap-enforced pleasant conversation (i will perhaps describe the design at a later date; i was very proud of it), fancy uncle chucklefuck finally confessed to the two things he has been sidestepping this whole fucking time!!

1) that Chucklefuck Prime should not by any rights be attached to him bc it's inherited through a royal lineage! and the last person who had it was a prince who had his soul carved out of him bc he was trying to escape the royal family.

2) that Uncle Chucklefuck was trying to help the prince escape in some capacity but obviously that did not work out too great. and specifically Uncle Chucklefuck was helping in the capacity of, uh, well, a spy. lol. sorry about the habitual secret-keeping and misdirection! it is professional habit! hahahahah!!

(i can at last explain that the whole character concept here is basically "~15-20 years retired Rogue Inquisitive wakes up one day as a Sorcerer/Cleric. has bad time about it.")

SO MUCH OTHER STUFF HAS HAPPENED like how Seasonal Affective Disorder the Sorlock's whole backstory is starting to barge onto screen in the form of her continuing state of un(??)death(??) -- and also her murderer is here, hello, he sucks.

or like how aforementioned Very Large Tiefling is the DM's character whenever I'm running things, and he is also (uh oh) a warlock of the local god who is specifically not exactly pleased with Fancy Uncle Chucklefuck's entire deal (haha uh oh). (he is v midwestern dad, and is perfect, and i love him). it's good! it's good! i love my party! MORE TRAUMA THIS SUNDAY WOO.

So that Partner Showcase and Indie World, huh?

In all honesty, this one kinda just went by me. Somewhat due to the lack of interesting stuff in it, but mostly due to you-probably-know-what. But nevertheless, let's cover this double whammy of a presentation

Balatro: Friends of Jimbo; DISTRACTION DANCE MUSIC HEARD. BEING THOROUGHLY DISTRACTED Neva; I swear I've seen this kind of game in like five different forms yet they all look the same. They're like Fromsoft games Moth Kubit; Corporately cute, I suppose Coffee Talk Tokyo; I don't drink coffee, so I can't really get the hype Sea of Stars; This just looks like the same kind of basic JRPG that you would see in any given anime when they need a "video game" to fill time PowerWash Simulator: Shrek DLC; someBODY ONCE TOLD ME THE WORLD WAS GONNA WASH ME! Morsels; Why does this look like Cuphead plus Little Nightmares to me? Date Everything; Anyone else remember Chairem Anime? Or at least skipped to Sofaden? Peglin; Isn't this the kind of game that's best suited for mobile? Wobbly Life; So Human Fall Flat but free roam? Pico Park 2; If there's one thing Grian taught me, its that this game is far more toxic than the Indie World guys are making it out to be Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope DX; You're telling me there's still stuff to add for Shovel Knight on Switch? I thought that was all burnt through Europa; Kinda getting BOTW vibes, NGL Cuisineer; ...So is it a roguelike but Overcooked or something? On Your Tail; Wonder how much furry you-know-what has been uploaded to you-know-where already? Metal Slug Tactics; So did SNK sell off Metal Slug or something? How does this count as Indie then? The Plucky Squire; ...Honestly I got nothin' for this one Pizza Tower; Y'ALL READY TO GET FUNKY?!

Tetris Forever; You guys think there are actually 99 Tetrises by this point? Star Overdrive; Why is this giving me Marvel vibes? Goat Simulator 3; It's Goat Sim. What else can I say? Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st; Basic-looking RPG. I got nothing Star Wars Hunters; Is this Star Wars Overwatch or something? ...okay S.T.A.L.K.E.R.; What is this, "I Can't Believe It's Not COD"? Worms Armageddon; Alright, where's my Holy Hand Grenade? Disney Dreamlight Valley; What was new within this that wasn't here the last time? The Patrick Star Game; Is this a goat sim-like game? No, this is Patrick Fitness Boxing 3; I imagine if you made this into a VR game, it would become the new Wiimote-into-TV Capcom Fighting Collection 2; Power Stone & co rise from the grave (Except the one Capcom fighting game series that's all about things rising from graves) MVC Fighting Collection; Break out the Mango Sentinels and find where your curly mustaches at, because mid-September is MAHVEL TIME, BAYBEE! Atelier Yumia; Honestly this looks like a poor mans Xenoblade to me Suikoden Iⅈ When will these sprite on 3d rpgs END?! Dragon Quest III HD-2D; (read above) Castlevania Dominus; Huh... neat Civilization VII; Let's just hope that Ghandi is as far away from this one as possible this time round Tales of Graces f; Wait, there's more to Tales of than just Lloyd and Yuri? Wow MySims: Cozy Bundle; Miis plus Sims make this, apparently FNAF: Help Wanted 2; har har har-har har har har-har har-har FNAF: Security Breach - Ruin; Dude, even the trailer was kind slow in framerate. That's how you know that this game has it rough Epic Mickey: Rebrushed; Unless I'm mistaken, I think that was actually the first time we've gotten a look at Tomorrow City. Every other location in the Wasteland was shown off before, but not here Tales of the Shire; Neat Just Dance 2025; Just Dance must have found the Fountain of Youth with how little dying its doing Funko Fusion; This just looks like a lesser Lego Dimensions, to be honest EA Sports FC 25; Dude, who even cares about EA Sports games? (Outside of our goat and savior Madden 08) Lego Horizons Adventures; I just want to know if and/or when the next Tt Lego game will be Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma; In all honestly, the whole "Japanese" aesthetic has been far overplayed to me. It's completely lost any luster in my eyes Yakuza Kiwami; FOUND YOU ON SWITCH, KIRYU-CHAN!!!

All in all, kind of uneventful. But at least not in terms of the rest of today, because SONIC 3 TRAILER, LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!

[b-blushes]

made the tactical error of using most of the day's allotted energy in the morning, so the whole afternoon has been/is dedicated to trying to feel meaningful and not guilty while somewhat frantically trying to find an 'activity' that's also 'restful'. ( <- is exhausted about being disabled. and also guilty for the exhaustion. double guilt whammy baybee!) :P)

nonetheless i'm still trying to do things! and rest! but wow!

[spacedlexi]

looking forward to more twdg stream tonight!!

We are not made for happiness in this life but the next, which is all well and good, except for the terrifying fact I may not make it to the happy part of the next life, which makes me seek happiness in this life, which pushes me further away from the happiness of the next life...do you see my problem???

[noreasonreally]

had a double whammy of a dream that my ex was throwing a birthday party for my dad and everyone was trying to convince me to talk to my dad and my ex was trying to convince me we never broke up. woop woop we're facing our insecurities today baybee
