#i don't play video games

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

If I wanted to get into Fallout, which games are worth playing? From what I've gathered through cultural osmosis it's 3, 4, and New Vegas, right? 76 is supposed to suck, and 1 and 2 are old point and click games? I don't actually know. I vaguely remember seeing a meme from years ago where someone rated the series "okay, great, dogshit, okay, great, dogshit," like there was a cycle of quality, but I can't find it and have no clue which ones are actually great and which ones are dogshit. And what's the deal with Todd Howard? Is he a bastard or is he cool?

Well, I rather enjoyed Blood Origin.

It's not breakthrough amazing television but it's fun and engaging with compelling characters and great performances.

👍

I know this is a different Taliesin, but à propos of his game with Nimue, I think it's fun that there's already a meme about someone named Taliesin losing at chess.

some more stuff

Happy one year anniversary to In Stars and Time!

y'know every time i feel guilty about bothering someone by singing along when i'm listening to music, i just remember that i have to tolerate my dirtbag brother screaming at his ps5 for hours every day so listening to muffled off-key fall out boy is probably preferable

Ooooh finally a polycule that has to do exactly as I say!!!

I love when it's incredibly obvious that Damian misses Dick.

MOUTHWASHING

What happened...?

[frogsandfries]

No. You play it for me.

Play 1000X Resist right now.

Do it. Fucking do it.

Its a video game with more emphasis on the “Video” than the “game”, that’s basically structured like a semi-interactive 10-episode TV show, and takes about as long to get through.

It’s a sharp, poignant, gripping, relevant, and utterly beautiful story that had *exactly* the kind of life-affirming, perspective-focusing message I needed to hear right now.

I’m going to say more about it later, but for now, if you know nothing about it, that’s really all you should know.

The fact that I’ve heard *nothing* about this game in the 9 months it’s been out, is a *crime*.

I want to vape water so bad. It looks like fun and I remember sucking the mist from my mom's miniature rock fountain and laughing out clouds of distilled water and a little bit of dirt.

Tiny horses we dipped in and out of the fog, mistepped and broke their tiny legs, left them too close to the little motor which somehow sprouted blisters on their plaster hides.

Spinning sticks in the embers trying to make smoke rings before we get scolded for playing with fire.

Ok I'm an adult now can I play with fire? Can I play with water?

What are they packing into those pens that rots our lungs and blisters and scars and does such fun things we call "popcorn" like it's a snappy bright flavor of addiction?

Can I just play with it?

I don't trust anyone to make toys in an industry whose mission statement is to hurt and harm in 10 colorful new flavors!

Literally it's just clouds. You made clouds into polkadot poison and gave it to kids like bubbles and a wand.

We have to laugh and mock and boo and try to make it uncool to somehow stop the damage but fuck, it IS cool! It's dragon's breath without the biting cold of winter but you went and made it sick.

Man what the hell. Imagine if bubbles could kill you.

Why did they do that?

I'm going outside to find cool sticks. I just wish I could bring the clouds with me.

i have 2 confess sometimes i quite like dapg as an actual gaming channel because the sheer nonchalance and whimsy with which they approach every game they play makes me remember that actually you can play games however you want. and its okay because the point of them is to have fun and not to follow a certain set of rules that make you 'officially good'

Have you ever seen a person struggle to draw a nose for 10mins straight? Well, now you can see it in 4x speed!

Here's a little vid of me doodling my addition to @kanskje-kaffe 's fic for my Silco lives AU idea. In this video you can witness:

a moment of stillness when I obviously google "Arcane Silco front" only to curse all known gods that this man only looks at the camera with his head tilted downwards

Silco goes to the hair salon like four times

me saving the file for the first time after 15mins(in real time), panicking. And also me censoring my file location that pops up because that's PRIVATE

oopsie forgot to draw that one support beam welll I'll just quickly add it there, ain't nobody gonna notice

Sadly I don't know what I'm doing 80% of the time when I'm drawing <3 I am just chaotically doing whatever until it looks decent
