da:tv gameplay reveal thoughts (SPOILERS BELOW)

so. combat is basically ME, voice acting was pretty good though I'm iffy on Neve (personal preference but she sounded a bit stilted) and there were a few lines that were giving a little "what's a paladin" but it could have been worse. i still don't like the figure proportions, it looks too ValorApexWatchy, but it's not as bad without the exaggerated animation and camera work of the initial trailer. I also wish they'd showed combat when you have more than one ability. the PC was a rogue and you have a bow with recharging-over-time quiver plus dual wielded sword/dagger that you can switch between. looks like you can either hotbutton your abilities or select them from the pause wheel along with companion stuff. 3 potions, but there are breakable vases that drop them. overall more action-adventure than i really wanted but not unplayable. environment and setpieces look great. convo wheel is the same as DA:I, with stoic, comedic, etc choices, but seems like fewer options per choice. that could be contextual though. facial animations are quite good. the character design is really what's bugging me out of anything. it just seems wildly inconsistent in how cartoonish it looks. varric looks amazing (except for the dark hair which is weird), but solas looks spot on in some scenes and super stylized in others. idk. it looks not as good as i hoped but not as bad as i feared. i'll still play it. it just feels like a lot of the design and mechanical choices are derivative. the dialogue was also a little terse? but it was a big dramatic scene where the characters are rushing around so that could be why, but it just sounded... idk, perfunctory? varric still has his little quips but aside from that the dialogue was just a little... artless. but yeah, it wasn't nearly as bad as the character reveal trailer made it seem.

Yknow... I'm gonna say it.

It's so fucking funny to see multiple people I knew RAGE against voting for Kamala because of some kind of purity politics (which let's be honest will never be a thing by virtue of them being fucking politicians) and/or the handling of Palestine and are now acting so shocked and outraged and sad about her losing and Trump winning.

I'm sorry, but what in the actual FUCK did you think was gonna happen by carrying on like that? No, it's not all on the 3rd party voters. That much is very evident. But yknow I'm sorry you don't get to post like that for MONTHS and then act all surprised and upset because Trump won.

dont you love it when one person just kills your mood and gets rid of all your energy for the day

i find it super interesting (read: i hate) how literally every production of coriolanus that i've seen looked at the line "i melt and am not of stronger earth than others", an extremely rare moment of vulnerability and emotion from marcius that shows his awareness of his humanity, contrasts the dehumanising language used by other characters for him throughout the play, and shows the change in him after act 4 as he begins to allow himself to show the damage done to him throughout his life and fighting career when he previously hid or downplayed it, and went "yeah this seems like a good line to cut, we don't need it"

the problem with random pains is that inevitably my brain goes "Oh. It's a Heart Attack. We're going to die."

on the one hand I'm really very excited to start learning game dev stuff! but otoh. I get the feeling the classes are gonna be full of kids a decade younger than me who already figured out they wanna do game dev stuff back in middle school and probably already HAVE some kind of experience making art and idk, minecraft mods or fangames or hell, even their own indie game. and it's gonna be really demoralizing to go into the game art class with the drawing skills of a 5 year old

saw a take with over a thousand notes that was so fucking rancid i spent perhaps an hour typing a longass catty response that i edited into something methodical and not novel length, decided not to publish out of fear of freaks in my inbox, blocked the user, went through the five stages of grief in the shower wrt the mutual who put that shit on my dash, questioned my own morality because of how adamant and matter-of-fact OP was while drying off, decided i WASN'T the one who was out of touch, softblocked the mutual, went and smoked my second to last cigarette, then hardblocked the mutual.

You know how you get lost walking around in Wilkinsburg in the morning because your car won't start again and you're hungry (maybe?) and you just get lost staring at the random, but welcome, pops of accented color that people choose to paint on the exterior of their houses and then YOU JUST BREAK DOWN CRYING MAYBE THREE SEPARATE TIMES?!

No one will love me like you do.

Because I will not let anyone love me like you do.

[scare-ard--sleigh]

why are you coming into my (slack) dms complaining at me that you don't think you're a strong writer and then get snippy with me when i (nicely!) give you the answers to the questions you're asking and tell you that you're fine if you don't plagiarize. why do you say to me "well it's kind of hard not to sound like i'm ripping off research copy as there's only so many ways certain things can be said" when i TOLD you about the plagiarism issue we've been having with this one other writer. why are you complaining to me!! about assignments that you agreed to do!! why can't you just say fucking "thank you!" or "I'll keep that in mind!" why why whyyyyyyyyyyy
