It's been like 3 days since Veilguard's release date announcement and there's already so much bad-faith 'criticism,' concern trolling, nitpicking and general shithead behaviour out there.
There's obviously the outrage tourists who never actually planned on playing the game just talking shit, but the amount of supposed 'fans' I've seen actively wishing for failure is ridiculous.
Probably Origins stans who never moved on, y'know the type that thinks tedious crpg jank was the peak of game design and copious amounts of rape and calling women cunts is the pinnacle of 'dark fantasy' writing.
Somebody should remind gamers that it's okay to actually enjoy games.
#dragon age veilguard#gamer nonsense#the more I think on it the more i'm convinced it actually is just edgelord origins stans tbh#honestly the mistake is mine for getting excited and looking at the fandom at all#should've known better

on a less serious side, bad and foolish having witnesses who are somewhat normal and regular to their usual strange and deranged antics is so hysterical. bad playing the role of kidnapped and felon this time around, letting himself get captured, pretending to be soooo guilty and talking like he’s actually gonna snitch. foolish doing it half for fun, half for show, because he knows cellbit is the killer already - he just needs nails for bad’s coffin because he’s gonna be the scapegoat, and he’s bored. if they were alone maybe they’d trade more intel - they’re on the same page but can’t exactly confirm nor allude to that with an audience, so it just devolves into their usual antics. meanwhile bagi is sweating and convinced bad is definitely about to spill everything she’s told him, falling for bad’s little ‘oh I’m so easily caught and convinced’ act harder than anyone else, trying to avoid bad’s arrest or worse, cellbit’s - while really what’s going on is bad and foolish’s homoerotic batshit insane cop and robber routine, where you’re not sure if someone’s getting arrested or if they’re about to make out. and aypierre is just there
#like foolish and bad are engaging in the wildest ‘yes and…’ per usual but bagi is normal and genuinely concerned for bad jfjskgkdkej#I love bagi man whenever bad does his usual bit (lying for fun) (pushing buttons) she takes it so seriously like you’ll get used to it soon#and like yeah he did really want some info out of bad their bullshit usually ends in informational exchanges one way or another but like#idk it really is ‘they know eachother better than anyone else’ in the most batshit way possible. immortal nonsense I suppose#bad and foolish who would commit war crimes against one another to the horror of everyone else but that’s just like fun bonding for them#why are they landduo when they should really be batshit fucking insane duo 🤨#mcyt#qsmp#q!bbh#q!foolish#q!bagi#bbh#foolish gamers#oibagi#z speaks

my dad is never fucking beating the streamer allegations his christmas gift for himself finally arrived and tell me why THIS is what he unpacks
#icarus speaks#the fucking backstory is even more insane#because he was at my cousin’s house and my. cousin in law?#idk her husband has this HUGE gamer set up#two monitors adjustable mic all rbg and shit#it’s really cool#and apparently my dad (late 50s) (the most strict no-nonsense workaholic known to man)#saw it and was like. hey how good is that mic? and he BOUGHT IT because OBVIOUSLY it’s a good mic but like#the fucking SHOCK of seeing ‘GAMER’ bolded all over the box#i cannot stress enough how much of a workaholic office man this man is. he has neglected to be a father and husband for most of his life to-#be an employee. he hates any type of digital entertainment.#i can’t fucking do this

man the past few weeks sucks in terms of the sheer disappointment that comes from highly-anticipated media revealing itself to be shallow and poorly-written :/
#insights#this is about arcane and datv in case my previous posts haven't made that obvious.#maybe i don't have any right to talk about datv given that i am not and do not plan to be a dragon age gamer#but i AM adjacent to the community because of how many people i've followed are into those games and have been for years#it's fucking soul-crushing to wait so long for something that proves it wasn't worth the wait#despite the pretty and polished aesthetic veneer#and while i'm still enjoying arcane for the time being it just sucks feeling like it could have and should have been more#i didn't expect arcane of all media to make me think 'wow that was... really badly done. and corny. and nonsensical.'#siiiiiiiiiigh#looking for more mouthwashing experiences where the game itself was 'fun' but i kept coming back with more awe and understanding#arcane isn't over at least so there's a chance act 3 will redeem season 2 but i'm not holding my breath

Everyone cheering about 'lol other game devs are shaking in their boots cuz they're jealous of Larian' are, I think, entirely missing the point.
Like step back for a second and ask yourself why devs at other companies might be wary of Gamers (TM) treating this huge, complex game based on a beloved franchise that promises unprecedented agency and consequences as a new baseline.
Like, perhaps they are concerned that the already standardized-shitty working conditions and outrageous demands of publishers could be made worse if upper management get it into their brains to demand "why can't you just make it like BG3" while providing a fraction of the resources and time.
Not to mention the rather notorious way that Gamers (TM) tend to harass and threaten game devs when they don't get what they believe they are entitled to in a game.
You'd think the devs discussing the working conditions and material conditions that make BG3's development exceptional would get more understanding & sympathy from folks on this site when those devs talk about how their own working conditions wouldn't facilitate such a development cycle.
#larian studios#bg3#baldur's gate 3#gamers of tumblr#game development#the whole bioware vs larian thing is nonsense too#stop stanning companies#even indie companies

I want to get into resident evil but I'm a coward help me out guys (for reference I was sweating through the entirety of prey 2017)
I only watched a walkthrough of re8 when it came out and enjoyed it so now I'm curious
#im only writing down the more recent games bc i usually dont really enjoy playing older games#sorry im a modern gamer at heart i have little patience for older gaming experiences#ill play through them only if i have a really strong attachement to a franchise (eg dragon age or deus ex)#resident evil#personal nonsense#okay ill admit. i kinda miss ethan winters okay. i kinda miss the mold dad. dont ask me why i have no idea

orv scratches that good gamer itch in my brain because i learned about the term "ludonarrative resonance" once in class and now every time i see a mechanic that serves as storytelling fuel i start screeching with delight
#narrates#orv#orv is CHOCK full of shit like that i go nuts for it constantly#coins stigmas skills PROBABILITY. literally every mechanic gets used to its fullest both as plot device and as a thematic or character tool#i was talking with my fiancee about this. orv feels like the result of some people who really enjoy escapist powerleveling nonsense#but who think very very hard about how stories function and want desperately to talk about it#they consider pretty carefully what 'skills' in other similar settings have the potential to stand for. its very good stuff#i also do find it likely that they are Gamers. you don't spend that level of time thinking about mechanics and magic systems#unless you've played games that use mechanics to reinforce their stories

so having gone through college to get an art degree and not ending up in IT until after I'd already been on t for a while I never got that 'oh god im a traitor to the women in STEM' feeling so many other transmascs describe but i HAVE felt that way about no longer being a representative for Female Gamers Everywhere
#spitblaze says things#well. considering im not actually that good at video games it might not be that big of a loss#but Oh Boy Let Me Tell You#my egg had yet to crack during the whole gamer/-gate nonsense and it felt. REALLY bad as an aspiring game dev#ive spent a lot more time in indie dev spaces since then and that fear has mostly gone away esp since those chuds more or less disbanded#but anyway girl gamers dont need me. theres more than enough transfem gamers to fill the void i left. i can be bad at fromsoft games in pea

I love ORV because it makes me ask important questions like "if humans were collectively impacted by a decimating calamity and then had to rebuild, how long would it take for esports to be a viable industry again"
#idk man 3 years sounds like a really quick turn around for a post apocalyptic society to restore a lot of the things you would need for that#like how did they get computer manufacturing and readoption to happen so fast#how many people had the disposable income for not only personal computers but also to give to gamers they like#theres so much infrastructure and disposable money and time that a lot of people would need for pro gaming to be profitable#orv#orv spoilers#kind of#if you havent read orv yet then this will probably just be nonsense

anybody else like a fairy but instead of dying if someone doesn't believe in you, you die if no one has a crush on you. does anyone else relate to that or is it just me and my normal sized ego . asking for a friend btw 💚
#on the floor croaking and wheezing and coughing and reaching out with a hand saying i feel so cold n can see the light etc etc#re: tht crush post tht i made however long ago. well. the bad news is tht i realized i am apparently somehow not the most special girl#in the whole universe which was crazy 2 me but the good news is that I'M CURED 🙏#i mean. the fairy condition means im dead but at least im not dead with a crush like tht would jus be too devastating 💔#also srry for posting nonsense n hiding from my msgs im like . spiraling 💜 nd would rather be unwell from afar than up close 👍#also ive been in my gamer era. The Pixels Have Taken Over My Life

Maybe it's just me but. Rom reminds me of those quiet moments where time stands still and you're just Existing without a care in the world
The sky at dawn and morning dew. Looking out the window, up at the moon. When everyone else is asleep
You are alone swaying to a silent melody, and just for a moment, your head doesn't ache and your eyes don't feel heavy. Just for a moment, everything is right.
She reminds me of the Minecraft end poem, and something about the gameplay and music feels right up her alley ouo
Rip Rom you would've loved Minecraft
#granted she. she might not be able to use a computer#what with all those tiny legs#i'm sure she could figure something out tho#if she can summon meteors she can be a gamer#what mobs do you think she'd like?#maybe it's just bc most of my memories playing minecraft are from the update that introduced guardians#but i could see her really liking those. or endermen#the texture of end blocks remind me of her ouo#she seems like she'd have a base that isn't the most efficient or detailed but it's very chill#like a big ol garden#ooh maybe there's a hedge maze#blood buddies#silly self-indulgent tag#my nonsense

Song of the Day: January 22
"My Love Mine All Mine" by Mitski
#song of the day#I tell you true me having this song stuck in my head is entirely separate from the CoD nonsense also in my head#but the absolute hilarity of me singing it incessantly 'I love my my mine / nothing in the world belongs to me / but my love mine all mine#nothing in the world is mine for free / but my love mine all mine all mine' me on loop in a low sweet soft croon#watching as Duncan plays through the 'Alone' mission--which I can recite step by step using fics as if they were walkthroughs--#Duncan so intensely in the gamer zone and me incidentally providing a romantic soundtrack as Soap says 'so you do like me'#they don't make comedy like this#also I made root vegetable fries (parsnips and carrots and my own grown sweet potatoes) and blue-cheese burgers for dinner#and it was so tasty and made me so happy#work was ungood but everything since has been lovely
