Is the video game really subverting its genre? Are you sure it's not just doing clever things within its genre, because otherwise the game would be boring and unchallenging and say nothing interesting? I'm just saying, it's cool and all that the internet allows horror game fandoms to overflow into eachother, but not EVERY 2 hour video essay needs to be spent breathlessly sucking off the devs. Sometimes a game is just REGULAR difficult and REGULAR high-quality.
Besides RPGs made over a decade ago, what is the thing supposedly subverting? Clearly not other contemporary indie horror games, because there is clearly a convergent ethos forming of cosmic horror and beginners' traps; that's just what the genre looks like nowadays.
#pathologic#fear and hunger#inscryption#in general I just hate overly reverent video essays; you guys ruined Airbender for me#this is NOT me hating on Pathologic!#Icepick is a good studio; their story is interesting their characters are well written#introducing needs decay mechanics into a first-person adventure game is a good idea; I just wouldn't call it “subversive”#this IS me hating a little bit on Patho fans just because I think hyperbole about the game's difficulty is tedious#and distracts from an equally valid conversation about what you get if you approach the game like a sandbox#I get it the algorithm incentivizes youtubers to talk about every new game like it's a complete departure from what came before#but if everything is special nothing is#and i swear if one more person tries to read me HP Lovecraft's wikipedia page like i was born yesterday im going to scream#Just saying; if fucking with the player's expectations is all it takes to be “subversive” then Stick of Truth is “subverting its genre”#except... no... Stick of Truth is a bog standard RPG just with a quirky tutorial#and creative integration of its off-beat story and mechanics RIGHT??#my point is Patho and F&H aren't actually much different; they still play like RPGs still handle like RPGs#the fact that you die more than you would in COD or Skyrim or whatever doesn't make it the “anti-RPG”#anymore than Seinfeld was the “anti-sitcom”#“subversiveness” is just a basic bitch way to analyze things; and I think “How does the art take ADVANTAGE of its genre?” is better#media criticism

Your swsh art always makes me want to replay the game because i love it and its my favorite pokemon game and every time i play another pokemon game i think of it how i miss certain elements from swsh. Then i boot up the game and im once again caught in the 1 hour 40 minutes hand held intro and im like ah- now i remember why i have been playing other pokemon games instead of this one. Happy (late?) birthday!
you don't want to listen to hop? you don't want to hear him teach you about type matchups? you don't wanna let him cheer u on...? 🥺 waa....?
#ask#bakuspeech#I am joking to be clear lmao#thank u happy bday to me !!#tbh I got real used to pokemon overexpositioning since sumo lol. it's kind of a boon for me#cause I'm not a Gamer™ and my brain takes stuff on Very slowly#so the tutorial stuff and the cutscenes give me time to catch up. also it's still fun to see these guys run around#I am in fact here for these guys lol. weird thing to say about the game built on and with an essential focus on the pokemon I know#I just like humans! I just like watching hop running circles around my player character all excited#and leon being a dick to his hometown people when they're expecting 'leon' back and they get the champion instead#and you get to see sonia used to dealing with it but the frustration never fully fades and how close she is to hop and that picture's bleak#listen this is my bread&butter lol. leon really doesn't show up That much himself around the game he's a shadow casted over the story#it's always interesting to me! does Not mean it's not sluggish to other people who want to play the game lmao#but I like it. also the tutorial at least the first time around was necessary to me bc the difficulty scales way up later on lol#it's a very good first pokemon game I maintain this. sumo never managed to teach me the same way swsh did#I still care drampa tho thank u drampa for being real I love u#lmao it feels like saying I'm not a Gamer™ violates some tenets of having adhd somehow. but its just the case here#the main genres I play are 'itch games tangential to the haunted ps1 people' and 'popcap-style casual games'#my sport's figuring out shapes n movin my stylus sadly. well not sadly why would that be sad

with toriel and asgore it's like. they're both flawed and their flaws parallel one another, but they're not EQUALLY flawed... like..... come on......
#let's be serious here. just say you don't like toriel and move on. but don't pretend her hypocrisies were in any way comparable#in size in subsequent damage or in blame to asgore's own#the game goes out of its way to show asgore's actions as wrong. both towards his people and towards toriel. noble yes. sympathetic. tragic.#heartwrenching. narratively impeccable and capable of genuine chance. but fundamentally the wrong choice made by a good man#toriel may not have made the best possible choice at every turn but her final intentions were the morally correct ones#she just did what she KNEW was right. even when it meant leaving her entire life and people behind to live in isolation.#asgore backed toriel into that corner just as much as he did himself#he was a good man who was in a world of hurt and that decision hung over him for the rest of his life but it WAS. HIS. DECISION.#you cannot take that from him. you cannot take the teeth out of his character like that#and you cannot take toriel's role as the person who challanges and refutes his decision from her#her entire character was created as a subversion of rpg motherhood. and how it had so little of motherhood in it.#letting children venture out into the wilderness to face god knows what god knows where#WHICH IS!!! IN ITSELF!!!! A NARRATIVE PARADOX. because it's something that the genre requires for the story to exist#you can't play the whole game on tutorial. the contradictory nature of her stance between morality & ut's genre is built into her character#that's what makes her so freaking interesting to begin with!!!!!! like.#OUGH#undertale#toriel#asgore#entry log

Another day, another drawing fat people tutorial that seems to think the only people who get fat are people with estrogen-based endocrine systems and resultant fat distribution.
#now i've noticed this i can't unnotice it#SO MANY posts in the genre of 'random person decides to share their process' do this#and like they're rando artists they're not obligated to do shit but it does rankle#when they're like 'DON'T do this' (points at picture that looks very like an artist-stylised version of me)#or it says 'here's how to draw fat/chubby/heavier/etc bodies!'#and all the images are of people with tiddies and soft fat#WHO TO BE CLEAR DEFINITELY NEED REPRESENTATION AND OFTEN GET DRAWN WRONG#but please add like#a 'some' somewhere in there#and i honestly don't remember seeing a tutorial that was like 'here's how to draw fat people'#and it was ONLY or even half people with a more testosterone-influenced setup

"oh my soul, is it here? or is it rotting somewhere with my head?"
#rtc#rtc musical#ballad of jane doe#? i think those are the tags? got into rtc over the december break and like. headless blorbos ig#it's oddly similar to six in the sense that six dead people have a concert competition with varying contexts#considering my prev obsession with cats the musical maybe there is a common trend here#hm. anyways!! found the ballad of jane doe online and spooked myself watching it at 3am and in hope to combat the terror (i am not good with#the horror genre. i'm fantastically awful i Will Cry) i went to watch like. the chaos compilations and read ao3 fics to yknow. make it less#scary. so like! yes?? rtc is a good musical. the greatest of my brainrot for it is over but it is really quite fun nonetheless. i may have#added another slime tutorial to my collection.#in terms of current brainrot. i am. a bit (read: maybe a Lot) thinking too much about dovesso. ??why is lesso so attractive in the movie??#truly it is a specific mood when it's like. this character is so?? so akshdhdjsj but also clearly they belong in otps with other characters.#idk how to describe it lmao! anyway the school of good and evil movie (i just watched it) came and called me a useless gay in multiple fonts#as one of my irl friends likes to say. women✨✨#mkay this shall end the tag ramble. thank you for enjoying the last khoward post we're back to just doodles now#(but seriously thank you i look into the tags and just go 'hehehe' :>>>>> it's nice)#along with miscellaneous not six musicals i might be going back into a firebringer tangent?? idk the plot bunnies are varied and plenty

Auto-combat games with 15 different microquests that repeat over and over again for the rest of time making the game a never ending tutorial my beloathed
#I try to play these types of games occasionally#because I’m bored and I’ll download anything from the app store if it catches my attention#but god they are truly the fucking worst#why you would make an entire game out of everyone’s least favorite part of a game — though it is necessary — is beyond me#the only one I’ve ever played that I could stand for more than like 3 days was one about being a little mushroom creature#possibly not the one you’re thinking of. not the one about marrying an entire town (which I don’t think I would qualify in this genre)#like. these games aren’t so bad if the quests are progression based#but the really shit ones will endlessly ask you to do miniscule amounts of boring tasks#like doing a 10 pull on a weapon summons despite you having way more tickets for it than that#and then ask you to come back to claim ur quest reward and hand u the next microquest#and all of these are considered separate tasks so instead of tracking how many summons u’ve done and marking your progress so u can just —#— do as many as ur gonna do and then you can turn in for that number of quest rewards#ur just endlessly going back and forth between menus. bored out of your mind and wondering when the game will stop dragging you along thru—#— this goddamn tutorial#but then eventually you realize the whole fucking game is that way#like I don’t know if they’re trying to actively worsen my attention span#or if they’re trying to set up the world’s laziest dopamine farm#(spoiler alert it’s probably both. cause worse attention span will make u more reliant on dopamine)#anyway I fucking hate these games I really need to stop giving them a chance#like I said the ones that are progression based and will track ur progression regardless of where you are in the quest chain —#— not that bad. can actually be fun#turn-in based ones?? actually the devil’s armpit. stinky. bad#ok I’m done ranting

@reversescale:
In the Human Comedy, yet a new update of the Simulated Universe, it was only a given that they should find some new batch of enemies and instances to face, but this seemed to be one of their odder encounters. In the confines of a classical theater, a single limelight shone upon a towering automaton suspended in a courtly bow, prepared to prance. It appeared stationary, gears and pistons of brass and copper glinting in the illumination. Caelus grinned confidently at him, but given its enormity, he somehow felt it wasn't the vote they needed. "Caelus, we should--" A menacing squeak of hinges interrupted him and the automata's head snapped in their direction, and Dan Heng's gaze flickered warily upwards. If they somehow survived this round, he'd consider it a miracle.
Caelus didn't understand why Dan Heng always had that worried shadow hanging over his face. It's not like the world was at stake this time! Really, he invited him for a round in here to-
"Relaaax," the vessel drawled, holding his hat loosely between two fingers, his other hand propped on his hip without a care in the world. Why would he, with one of his Astral Express crewmembers by his side? "We got this in the bag!"
And besides, today, this stage belonged to Caelus. With a theatrical twirl, he flung his hat into the air with a flourish, sending a spray of sparkling, dream-like projections crashing down onto the enemy's head.
Let the show begin!
#genre: action#reversescale#actor: caelus#(I am going to be very transparent and admit that I've only played a little bit of the original Simulated Universe#I just haven't really had time with work and school to boot up Divergent Universe unfortunately...)#(But I ran through the tutorial briefly just to see what was different and I think? I understand what the changes are?)#(So if you see any discrepancies that is probably why!)

Ok, nothing made me more furious than scrolling through the list of movies available on YouTube to look at their genres and seeing Puss In Boots: The Last Wish labeled “Animation”
It is FANTASY ADVENTURE you HEATHENS
ANIMATION IS NOT A GENRE
IT’S A MEDIUM
#If I see ONE MORE PERSON label an animated film as not having a genre I SWEAR TO GOG#I will melt their kneecaps into a fine paste and use it as glue in a tiktok slime video tutorial#WE KNOW IT’S ANIMATED FROM THE COVER JUST TELL US THE ACTUAL GENRE#animation#dreamworks#puss in boots#puss in boots the last wish#puss in boots: the last wish#youtube#movies#idk man I’m just mad#tag tag tag#bleh

so ive been playing pathfinder: wrath of the righteous for a few hours now and so far the premise has not really hooked me. compared to dos2 and bg3, the premise feels like generic christian-flavored fantasy "demons destroyed the city and i am chosen by heaven to save it". the companions not having a lot of overworld dialogue also threw me off (like i lead into the party in a room full of disfigured corpses and medieval torture devices and there was no reaction or insight whatsoever
#bg3 is also generic fantasy on account of its setting but theres a lot more opportunities to roleplay#which i think is necessary in this genre#so far despite the amount of lore im getting and being a couple of hours into the game i havent really felt out my character yet other than#them being blessed by heaven#p:wotr#mine#me gaming#granted ive only been in the tutorial area and just got out of the city but i did expect a lot more roleplaying#my experience is also tainted by the fact that im really weak in combat#and the voice acting cutting in and out... im genuinely not sure if its a bug or if its just unvoiced (the uncertainty is the problem)#anyway the combat is still confusing to me but it is fun

Got some more Zooey practice in, I'm almost done practicing her combos 😤👏 I'm having a bit of trouble with the timing of some of them, but I feel like with enough practice I can get good at pulling them off consistently
#gui plays granblue vs#i don't think i'll ever be like#good good#at playing as her#but i do feel like with some practice i can become like#competent? maybe?#i'm working with 20+ years of zero fighting game practice and experience so honestly all things considered i'm doing alright#going from not being able to even touch the tutorial enemy to being able to pull complicated combos in 3 days feels good#the one fighting game i played in 20+ years was tatsunoko vs capcom and even then that was a one time rental lol#i played some mortal combat at my friend's house and got my ass handed to me by him#because obviously what would you expect pitching a noob to someone who plays the game enough to have a favorite character#i guess i plays smash bros???? but that's a completely different genre of fighting game obcs#obvs*
