@the-valiant-valkyrie 's DST teas review (VERY LATE)

~~~~~~~~~~~

WX-78 Blend

By itself, it smells very herbal, the lemon aroma is very distinguishable and pleasant. I added about a teaspoon or so, and brewed it for the recommended time on the page. At first it tastes somewhat like chamomile, then, I added sugar and lemon juice and it started taking on a more homey vibe. The lemon certainly brought out the distinct black tea flavor + strengthened the natural lemon flavoring.

Update: made it a second time, this time added two and a half teaspoons of sugar, 2 slices of lemon and a touch of lemon zest (for about 3/4 of the 400ml mug filled.) It was AMAZING, very pleasant flavor, lightly sour and sweet, brings back memories, legit became one of my favorite teas, I'd definitely buy a bigger bag at some point in the future if it'd still be available.

All in all I would highly recommend it, If you're fond of relaxing teas such as this one.

First impression: 6/10

Current impression: 8.5/10

(forgive my shitty phone lighting)

Walani Blend

Upon first smelling it, it's very fruity and exotic, that smells only intensifies upon brewing.

Quite sour by itself, adding a tad of sugar (about 2 and a half teaspoons per half a 400ml mug for me, again) then it's just a right mix of sweet and sour, the flavor somewhat reminds me of raspberry. You can pick out the orange and mango if you feel for it, but they're not that intense. The coconut and apple are the most pronounced in the aftertaste.

(Overall, very enjoyable, especially on mornings and late nights 6.5/10)

Lunar Blend

The coconut gives it a very nutty feel, with the added scent of flowers.

When brewed, dull and slightly bitter without any add-ons, although the coconut and chocolate chips are especially prominent. When added some cream and sweetener, it becomes more light, it doesn't have an especially compelling flavor, but it's not bad either.

(Then again I'm not an expert on tea, 98% of the time I just drink black tea)

For me personally, it's a 5/10

Willow blend

When first smelling it, the dark chocolate and strawberry are the most distinguishable, cinnamon is only there if you really smell for it. After brewing, both of the formerly mentioned scents mixed further.

By itself it's very bitter obviously, but after adding some cream and sugar, it tastes more like coffee with a note of strawberry and cinnamon.

There's also a herbal after taste.

Overall pleasant , though people who like their tea with milk/cream would enjoy it the most.

First impression: 5.5/10

Second impression 6/10

Wormwood Blend

Straight out of the box it has a wild berry feel to it with a flowery scent.

After brewing it, momentarily the mint leaves make themselves known, but after tasting, they're only present in the after taste.

The chamomile becomes very distinct, with the flowers on the side. I can taste some hibiscus, orange and the apples, but they're not that present.

I added a bit of lemon and sugar and the taste immediately changed into a more comforting sweet tea.

Overall 7.5/10 for me

Woodie and Lucy Blend

When fiest opened, it smells very nutty and sweet. The apple and the safflower are barely noticable, you'd have to seriously smell it, in order to feel them.

Upon brewing, the fruity scent catches up to the nutty one, and it becomes sort of a mix of the two.

At first I added some almond milk and maple syrup, but it just didn't stick with me. It was alright, but there was just something missing.

The second time I added some UHT cream and condensed milk and JACKPOT, this was it (at least for me) the cream softened up the flavor and the condensed milk made it sweeter, more cozy, it adapted perfectly for my taste.

First impression: 5/10

Second impression 7.5/10

~~~~~~~~~

All in all, very nice teas! I recommend y'all try them!

[kamykvdst]

very cute! inspired me to do this little drawing

OK so I had a birthday yesterday and my friend gifted me a spider plush AND covered it with ridiculous amount of bows(or ribbons?? I don't know the difference)

I can't not post it, just look at that

[lil-ms-dipst]

Okay seeing as my depression is spiking so hard I can't even find enjoyment in music anymore for the time being, I am going to talk about one of my favourite characters ever Webber from Don't Starve.

I love him (platonically/from a character design standpoint, I aint in romantic love with a child ew) because he is a little ball of light in an otherwise grim situation. Bro got eaten by a spider, lived, got chased out of his own home by his own parents, made a deal with a suspicious lanky man, got sent to a pocket dimension thing, fucking died???, came back to life, and is just. Chilling. I mean yea Webber has his angst examination quotes. "Oh, to feel a sharp edge against my skin," blah blah blah, but he usually sees things from a different perspective?

"Oh I got eaten by a spider and now I am a we. I bet we'd be really good at football now though." Like I am sure you would be.

He even forgave Maxwell, you know, the guy that kinda caused him to end up in the Constant. He even has Wolfgang trying to get over his fear of spiders just to hang out with Webber.

And his duality with Wendy is so good. Wendy, the angst one, the one that is always talking about death, wanting to die, whatever, is best friends with this little ball of sunshine. I bet Webber helps pull Wendy out of the pit of depression she might find herself in. They have tea parties together!!! Wendy's first thought when finding the faux fangs is "Now Webber and I can match!" Like they are best friends for life your honor.

And Webber extends this kindness to everybody else in the Constant. Webber is the one to grab Walter and drag him to safety. Webber is the one to offer Wurt a cookie. Webber thinks about WX and Woodie!! He claims that he sees WX eat gears by the fistful and for the log cake he says "Haha wanna see our Woodie impression?" or something along those lines. He's even willing to help Wagstaff, this random person he's never met that's phasing in and out of existence. Hell if Wilba from Hamlet made it into DST I'm sure he'd extend his kindness to her too. He has been through so much yet still is so joyful. And I love him for that.

Webber's happiness and love for others has even rubbed off on the spider half of him! "We hope everybody liked the presents we got them." Key word: we. If it was just the child speaking, it would be I, if it was just the spider speaking, it would be he. But no, it both. Both of them are hoping the gifts they got for others are good.

Anyway uhh rant over because I have other thoughts about Webber but those are more angst-like and I don't feel like those here.

NextFest Demos General Review

I'm gonna write what I think of the demos I played this NextFest. Each title is a link to the Steam Page, be sure to grab yourself a demo if NextFest isn't over (June 10-17, 2024). If not, some of them might still have public demos, and some of them might be out by the time you read this!

NextFest has ended but demos still remain! Check them out or wishlist them if they’re in pre-release.

500 Caliber Contractz

Mario 64 but you have a high-caliber sniper rifle. It's honestly more often a movement tool than a weapon, and the movement tech in this game is quite interesting. I haven't gotten it quite down yet. I’ll write more about it later.

Aero GPX

Reminds me of Kirby Air Ride.

Airborne Empire

This game is seriously addictive. I meant to give it 30 minutes (around the minimum time I’ve been giving there games), and it took 3 hours. The whole conceit of the game is that you are building an airborne city. All sorts of things matter, such as the tilt (you can’t just pile it all onto one side), the lift (you need to add fans, which need to be manned by citizens, to allow for enough lift to build more stuff), and propulsion (buildings will slow you down, so you can build propellers and stuff to help you move faster), as well as food and water and coal) to keep everything running) and various building resources which you gather by deploying workers to deposits on the land using a hangar. Light is also important to stop accidents at night… there’s all the little systems you need to manage. I really love it. Usually in city builders I get really stressed about strategic placement and how me not leaving space next to that big useless rock turns out to be a mistake when I advance in the tech tree and learn the rock is actually the most useful and I trapped it under an underpass. Airborne Empires can have the “I didn’t know how big this building is so I didn’t leave enough space here” problem (I really wish I could preview buildings before I had the resources to build them), but it’s mostly fine. The tilt and lighting systems lead to making a spread-out base. You recruit more citizens by hiring them from settlements below, but you’ll have to feed them all, and at least where I am in the game, you can only gather food and water, not generate it.it’s visually very cute, all the people are birds, and the talking sounds are birdcalls. It’s pretty chill most of the time, even the occasional pirate attack isn’t that bad, especially if you get defense towers, since you can repair pretty quickly. I could play the game for days on end, honestly. I love it.

Akimbot

A very fun 3D platformer, reminds me of Ratchet & Clank, Crash Bandicoot, Skylanders, etc. The whole game looks really nice and stylized. I played with the Acid Sprayer and found it to be very fun. The voice acting and dialogue were a smidge lacking at times (Exe feels compelled to go "Tch" every time Shipset talks, and Shipset cannot shut up, but it didn't annoy me.) Overall I'm excited to see how the full game turns out!

Aloft

I didn’t find Aloft interesting. It’s not that I don’t like survival games, per se, it’s that my patience with survival games is really low. (300 hours of DST has changed me.) They need to be really interesting for me to stick, because if not, I sink untold hours into them getting progressively more and more annoyed. Aloft is probably someone’s cup of tea, but it ain’t mine. Sorry.

Beyond These Stars

Coming Soon!

Dice & Fold

A very fun roguelike deckbuilder game that's more about rolling dice than drawing cards. Enemies have slots you must fill to defeat them. Some enemies require exact rolls (say, a 3), and some just have numbers that have to be reduced (say, a 5, and you could put a 2 and a 3 in it to complete the slot). And there's more like doubles slots, slots that only accept odd or even numbers, etc. Your hero has an ability that you can earn by filling in the required slot on your hero card, there's all sorts of items and companions that alter the game in little ways... it's really fun and I'd love to play more of it in the future!

Dimhaven Enigmas

I love the graphics, just to get that out of the way. Pixilated textures are to die for, I’m a huge sucker for PSX or DS/3DS-style textures. It’s an interesting puzzle game, it’s pretty intriguing, but dangit if I’m not bad at puzzles, lmao. It’s tough! It really makes you work for the answer, I like that, but I can’t really write review of a completed demo because of it. Try it out!

Dustborn

It seemed… interesting. The graphics look good, the fight mechanics seem to have a bit of meat, but are sorta unseasoned. (They don’t feel like they flow that easily into each other but that might just be a personal skill issue.) The humor and writing isn’t really my cup of tea, it feels sorta like they’re always talking, and the lines in combat seem to overlap sometimes but I’m sure that’s unintended. Idk if I personally will be buying the full game, I’d rather wait for a review of the full game to see if I wanna buy it, but I don’t hate it.

Gladio Mori

Gladio Mori explores an interesting concept of a physics-based medieval weapon fighting game that oftentimes feels a bit like TABS if you were in complete control of a unit. It's definitely interesting. Right now there's only 3 weapons and no move editor, but I feel like the simple existence of a move editor means that in the future, there's untold levels of complexity to be found in this game. Has multiplayer!

Goblin Cleanup

It’s fun. There’s not much to say about it, as it’s just a simpler Viscera Cleanup Detail, but it’s cute, honestly. There’s some interesting quirks and level progression things, such as being able to light slimes on fire to be semi-infinite, faster mops, and you can do a lot with traps and stuff. Sorta simple as-is, unless I just missed the really cool stuff. (I haven’t played all of the demo yet, only the first two levels.)

I Am Your Beast

This game is amazing. The presentation of cutscenes is phenomenal; I really love the big bold letters and colored background. It's simple but it does its job. The voice acting is great, too. And the gameplay is just amazing. The amount of speed and precision you can move and attack with is on point. I'd suggest everyone

Kaiserpunk

Coming Soon!

KILL KNIGHT

Kill Knight has some wicked graphics. They look like they’re crackling with an unchained energy, power so great it corrodes the world. The gameplay is tough, I can barely survive a few waves, but the combat is promisingly meaty. Sword kills fuel the heavy weapon, and enemy drops can fuel the bfg thing (forgot its name). I’m not used to twin-stick shooters so I don’t know how much is innovative and interesting and how much is in every twin-stick shooter, but I certainly found the game really interesting. Really tough, but really interesting.

MACHI KORO With Everyone

Only the offline tutorial as of now, which is kinda annoying since i can't even try to run an offline hotseat game. But, it teaches Machi Koro pretty well. I like Machi Koro I like this game. It is nothing more or less than being just Machi Koro.

Metal Slug Tactics

Coming Soon!

Once Human

Open-World Survival Horror MMO. I’m only into survival horror, really, and was playing alone (I’m not that into MMOs except with friends). The systems seem okay, the combat is about what you would expect with heavy and light attacks and simple chains… the character creator is pretty good. (And I love myself a good character creator.) Not my cup of tea.

One Btn Bosses

It’s a bullet hell but you only need one button. Your “ship” moves on a ring outside the boss, and you use the button to change directions. The faster you’re moving (you gain more speed the longer you travel in a given direction), the faster you shoot. That’s about it for the systems (that I could see, at least. I haven’t beat it.) it’s fun, I’d recommend it to anyone. After all, you only need to press one button!

SCHiM

A very cute puzzle game where you play as the shadow of this one guy. You jump from shadow to shadow to navigate the levels. The art is beautiful accented neutrals, the music and sound design is really cute and musical, reminiscent of Untitled Goose Game. It’s really cute!

Screw Drivers

It’s Lego Technic as a racing game. To be completely honest, it just didn’t click well with me. The building aspect of it felt like every Lego Technic I’ve ever built, plus actual engineering. You need to connect the engine to the axel to the drive wheels, and set those to steerable… I know that’s simple, but it’s a bit too complicated for me to play that much. I’m a simple woman. Seemed fun to drive the cars, tho.

SWORN

It’s Hades but with Arthurian Legend. I don’t really know what more to say. It controls like Hades (well, I played Hades on the Switch, so maybe keybinds are different than I expect) it’s got similar systems of boons, in-level currency and cumulative secondary currencies, et cetera, et cetera. This isn’t a slight against it, I really like it! I can’t really speak for its writing since I can’t find much and I’m sure not all of it is in as of yet, but what I could find in-game was interesting. I don’t quite understand the world and how the Holy Grail and pagan deities and King Arthur all feed into why these monsters are about, but I’m assuming that’s elaborated on as you go through. I’d be willing to get the full game.

Tactical Breach Wizards

I adore this game. The graphics are really cute, the combat puzzles are really interesting and fun (I like this genre of games, I’m totally blanking on the name tho) and the writing… oh the writing. The writing is so good. The jokes are right up my alley, the story is really interesting, the world is the right amount of absurd that the characters can be deadpan about always having newt bones on their person that you can tell that it’s just as much of a half-joke in-universe as you’d expect. It’s really fun and I’m hoping to play the full game upon release.

Tavern Talk

I loved this game. The sound design is so peaceful and soothing, the writing I really like, there’s a lot of good jokes and just tender moments. I love Fable, the main other character in the game. They’re an anxious ranger who wants to get out into the world and go on adventures, they’re so cute. The other character, Caerlin, is nice too. The art is beautiful, I’m really invested in it now! I need to get the full game!

Tiny Glade

Cute game where you can do a bit of finely-controlled procedural generation of a little landscape, and take photos of it. I played game last NextFest called Dystopika that was like this but with a cyberpunk city. Tiny Glade is cute, simple, and allows you to make little houses and landscapes. It’s cute, I’m sure people will like it, but it just ain’t my genre.

[r4t-g0d]

[crazysnor1ax]

Hey, I would love to see your headcanons about Walani and other characters. You can do it privately if you don't want it on your page, I just want to see your headcanons!

Sure!! I’d love to share, thanks for the request!! ^^

Walani

Because it’s implied she was a pirate at one point, she still uses pirate lingo, to the confusion of the other survivors.

She probably has a GREAT sense of fashion but is too lazy to put outfits together.

ADHD big time, gets bursts of energy sometimes and gets distracted easily

REALLY good at sailing, like unnaturally good

If she has to wear her hair down for any reason she will throw a fit

Really close with Willow! I ship them but I imagine they’re close friends regardless. They have the same level of chaotic energy when Walani isn’t being lazy for whatever reason

Wendy

Her mom used to make actual tea for her and Abby to use for their tea parties!

During the summertime, she and Abby would play outside and their mom would let banana pops freeze during the day. After they’d play all day they’d get them as dessert

She’s actually somewhat mischievous, though it rarely shows nowadays

She would not be able to sleep without a bedtime story, and that still applies while I’m the Constant. Usually Wick will read to her and teach her about different animals or plants (though she prefers fiction)

LOVES snowball fights!

Willow

She was 100% a kid that would SCREAM and throw a FIT about taking baths (and still is ABSJSJDJFJFN)

Really, really awful about doing laundry and keeping her clothes clean

Her lighter is in exceptional condition after all these years because she polishes and cleans it regularly

She knows how to sew! She learned to make sure Bernie stays together, but she’s good enough to make her own clothes is she wanted to.

A bit more a serious and lore related headcanon, she has amnesia and can't remember her time assisting Maxwell or burning the orphanage down. The way she remembers getting dragged into the Constant is her eventually being caught by the shadow creaturess that chased her all her life. Eventually she DOES remember, and that's how she goes from having her single player abilities to her DST abilities in-universe.

Abigail

Was never into reading as much as Wendy was. When her mom would read her bedtime stories, she'd lose interest and fall asleep pretty quickly

Was a very picky eater

Loved to play dress-up! More-so than Wendy

Got equally frustrated as Wendy when she wasn't able to use ouija boards or seances to communicate with Wendy. She WANTED to let her know she was there, but just couldn't

It probably took her a while to get used to her new abilities in the Constant, to the point where she'd kill things accidentally and apologize profusely to Wendy lmao

Overprotective of Wendy, to the point where she'll get a little aggressive with survivors she hasn't met/gotten to know yet. A sister doing her job I guess!

DST time shift kickin my ass

drinking a lot of tea today

[homopathy69]

Fun little facts about me :3

-I have ADHD and my therapist suspects I’m autistic as well

-My favourite Elvis song is Craw-Fever but the version sung my Austin Butler since he’s more familiar to me

-I haven’t washed my hair with shampoo for 2 years

-I wash my hair monthly with a baking soda solution

-I love my hair

-I stopped washing my hair because of my brother’s influence

-I spend hours weekly doing my hair to make it look like I was electrocuted

-My parents are divorced because my dad is a very insecure and violent person

-I almost drowned when I was 10

-I went into the ocean because I wanted to swim but the water was too deep and the waves too aggressive. My stepdad jumped in after me and he nearly drowned as well if it wasn’t for a bystander who saved our asses. Sometimes when I try to sleep I start thinking of the ocean which often triggers a panic attack. Every time I’ve had a chance to swim in the ocean since, I’ve happily taken it because swimming in the ocean is very fun even though I get bodyslammed into the sand by the waves every time

-I have a severe phobia of wasps which triggers a panic attack any time a wasp is near me for a prolonged period of time (10 seconds) …(im not even allergic like…..??)

-I love tea especially vanilla or caramel flavored and earl grey is my one true love (pretty basic but I get to be a little basic sometimes… yknow… as a treat……..)

-I’m in art school :P

-My DST main used to be Wendy but now its Wilson because I like looking at Wilson

-My friend got me into DST

-Im a Maxwell simp…. :(

-I have a track record of simping for awful characters……: prominent ones being William Afton…….. Lord Darkar from Winx club…. Morro from Lego Ninjago (2011)

-My name is Vilbert

-I’m a male. I’m a man. I’m a ‘he’…… I don’t get into that……. Mentally ill stuff…
