Their S/O Is a Gamer, But They Arent Really One

Characters: Pantalone, Childe, Albedo, Nilou, Tighnari x GN reader

Summary: Your partner doesnt really into playing online games, but you do, so what do they play when you introduce them and what would they be interested in playing.

Warnings: mentions of blood, and horror games but nothing bad jsut the mentions of it, otherwise just fluff, modern au

Note: love the idea of playing games with someone who has never really touched an online game, so you introduce them to some not so weird games and play with them. i sound so lonely- love you

Pantalone

He definitely lives in a giant place, so you have your own room with a pc and all that stuff, even though he doesnt really understand it he loves you, and your hobbies are apart of you.

Would love to play something with you, but he for once isn't sure how to ask, and he doesn't have much free time. But would love to play some cozy games with you, either on a console or with him sitting in your chair while you teach him how to play.

Likes playing more business-focused games, just so he can also show off all his knowledge of marketing to you, but could also get into horror games if you played with him.

He plays the sims with you at times, and he definitely has one of the sims run a store and can make a lot of money really quickly, even without knowing what he's really doing.

Childe

He has played a few games, but only combat games where you could also see blood, so think shooters and that stuff. so if you play more cozy games, or just sweet games i dont think he would be very interested at first.

But if you wanted to play with him he totally would, he would sit next to you at his own desk and look over to see what you were doing once in a while when he was lost.

He likes playing with you but doesnt do it often, only when he really feels like it. Also loves horror games, but especially if you get scared easily so he can tease you and comfort you, plus he gets to hold your hand.

Albedo

He is definitely interested in video games, and has some on his phone that Klee can play when she's with her but he's busy.

So he has gotten you to talk a little about the games you play, and seen you play as well. But has never actually tried playing it, so he would like to try.

Likes to play dress up games, just for fun but also because he can draw the outfits and get inspiration form them. Plus he has you beside him so he can tease you by drawing you in a rather embarrassing outfit.

He's not really into the concept but still likes to just watch while he's doing an experiment, but would play science games on his own if he found one he liked.

Think if Dr. Stone made a game, so stuff with a lot of scientific aspects to it. Games that would put you to sleep after he started talking about it.

Nilou

Loves to look at you play, she sits on your lap at times to get a better view. She doesn't really take an interest to what you're doing as much, but would still love to play with you.

She would like playing the sims, making both of you and building a pretty house for you to live in. She has also made you kiss many times, but got embarrassed when you commented on it.

Would also challenge you in fitness type games, but she wins almost every time. You now have a Wii in your living room where you both do yoga together every week.

Tighnari

He is way more interested in nature, plants, and the outside world of living beings, so he hasn't really touched the concept of playing games on a computer, more so looking up information.

But he would be so into Stardew Valley, yes he does know way more about all these plants and will rant on and on about why these plants need to planted in the spring and stuff. But he would have so much fun playing if you got im into it.

GRASS, did i scare you? go out and touch some please, you need it

And yes, he is interested in what you play otherwise without him, and would encourage you to talk about it for hours just like he does with plants. He's very supportive of you and likes just looking at you play games while he studies a special species of fox that he just learned about.

Walks into your room from time to time and opens the windows, because you need more sunlight, and he doesn't accept the excuse of him being your sun, though he does blush if you say that.

Thx for reading pookie, luv ya-Masterlist

hey this isn’t aimed at anyone in particular but I’m saying it for the record here: if I tell you no, please stop messaging me about fundraisers and mutual aid.

I get enough messages that it’s impossible for me to keep up without devoting at least half an hour each day, when I’m not even on tumblr that long most days. Me having a boundary about this isn’t a moral failing, it’s a lifeboat for me on my own blog.

In my personal life I’m already advocating and donating literally as much as I can spare. This is not me not caring, it’s just me not willing to interact with that on the one place I go online to not interact with irl news and world events for the most part.

I cannot be upset all the time. I cannot be upset everywhere. I cannot use all my emotional and mental energy fielding my own upset from ongoing events. My options are to hold boundaries about this or stop coming online at all.

I’m all for sharing information and signal boosting to reasonable extents, but the scale of it this year is so large and so enduring that it is literally not possible to for me to participate on every account I have. I’ve previously shared links to Gaza eSIM donations and a major hub of verified Go Fund Mes here and elsewhere online. We, the online humans, know how to look those things up ourselves by now. There are many, many people choosing to do advocacy work, and right now, I can’t be one of them.

If you’re extremely upset when I tell you I can’t share/donate right now about a Gaza family or personal fundraiser you ask me to share here, just unfollow and block me. That’s what those buttons are for. Protect your own emotions and energy and get me off your feed instead of staying upset and continuing to engage with online people or content that upsets you.

Please don’t send repeated angry messages based on manufactured purity politics and moral outrage into my messages and inbox when I exercise the right to run my own blog.

‘the children yearn for the mines’ is a little too real to me bc when i was a kid and my older siblings were trying to get me into pokémon i really never cared to try playing. BUT. i was obsessed with the underground mining minigame in dppt. i used to beg my sister to let me take a turn playing and set it up for me bc i didn’t know how to so i could go mine for gems nonstop until i cleared that entire cave section of glittering wall spots which always made me so sad bc i was having such a great time. i didn’t even understand the significance of what i was doing but 7 year old me was high off of it

[ofbardsandmen]

nothing ever excites me more than a spontaneous genshin, or more particularly, mondstadt discovery. i sat diluc upon the barbatos statue as a nice spot to go afk on without being interrupted by repetitive idle animations and voicelines (sorry diluc, this is nothing personal). my volume was turned up more than regularly by accident, and my in-game music was off despite how much i like the original game soundtrack. aNYHOW- i was about to go afk when i heard some strange noises that i didn't recall hearing in mondt before. it made me pause and turn my volume up even more. in the video above, it's kind of hard to discern the brief sounds over the noise of the wind up on the statue and in mondstadt in general, but when the wind dies down a little, you can distinctly hear voices of people, and what shocked me the most – neighs of horses. i have no clue whether it is just me discovering this only now, after 4 years of playing this godforsaken game and clearly not having paid enough attention to mondstadt's sfx before, but i still felt the need to share this terribly interesting tidbit in case there's other clueless mondstadt enthusiasts like me.

Hey! :)

This is my second introduction/attempt to find more mutuals

You can call me Es. I’m 21 years old and go by any pronouns.

Things I love:

● Spider-man

● Sailor moon, NANA, demon slayer, skip and loafer, spyxfamily, kimi ni todoke

● Howl’s moving castle

● The nightmare before Christmas, corpse bride, coraline

● The phantom of the opera

● Mortal Kombat, genshin impact, tekken

● Jurassic Park

● Horror movies!

(I have a lot more interests in my profile, don’t be afraid to DM if we have anything in common. Always looking for new moots! MDNI)

[amarisrosalette]

just for your reminder, mondstadt literally means "moon city". moon being "mond" and city as "stadt". fyi on why i'm talking about this is because i am a literal moon enthusiast and whenever i come across this thought in my head i think "wow. my favoritest city in my favoritest game is really named after my most favoritest thing to look at." and then it just ends up strengthening my love for mondstadt even more

just wondering if there are any mondstadt enthusiasts who are also fellow moon enjoyers? plus points if you're a lore enthusiast because i REALLY wanna know the lore and origin behind mondstadt's name.

[hellwa1ker]

At this point, I have no idea where these daily GTA 6 rumors are coming from.

Don’t believe the latest one about surfing being part of the game, there are no sources backing this up. It’s just clickbait.

20 engineers at Rockstar working on water physics? How could anyone possibly know this stuff 💀

Wuthering Waves: First Thoughts

Opening

First thoughts of this game it’s definitely heavily relying on Genshin impact fan base and mechanics. Though it does make itself feel a bit distinct and its mechanics. And overtime I feel if they are willing, they can make this distinctness an even bigger gap between it and Genshin. 

Style

While the style is similar to Genshin, (though all anime games, feel a little similar) it’s distinctive enough with its landscapes.

It does have a little bit of rendering issues with faces kind of blending out from further distances. I have so far enjoyed monster and character designs. Nothing immediately has stood out, but overall, I find it very pleasant.

The way it mixes styles, with what I feel is some kind of Chinese traditional fantasy, with fantasy Tech. Very interesting take on fantasy a little bit, feels a little bit like honkie, but still distinctive.

Story

Story wise I was immediately hooked. I think it has a really good opening that catches the viewers attention and I do feel it does waiver a bit and it’s beginning opening dialogue. Jumping right into the action does help keep the viewer and continue playing.

Also, the story has what I feel is a more interesting MC as there is a lot to figure out about them and definitely feels a lot different from Genshin so I’m excited to see how their story plays out.

One big point I wanna praise on the story is making it feel like our voice dialogue options have weight. I really hope going for this game continues to put in the time to make the main characters in point matter unlike other anime Gacha games ( Genshin ).

Play Feel

Once again, I feel this game does rely pretty heavily on the base mechanics from Genshin and other Gacha games. I wouldn’t say that is a take away. I feel it would be hard for beginners to play this game. The fighting style is pretty fast-paced and requires a lot of timing. I think it’s a great jumping off point in making it its own game making it feel different from other Gacha games.

What I want to see change

I think this game has a lot of potential to be its own standalone Gacha game, not being influenced by other games. It’s got a great backbone, but it definitely does need some improvements.

And my biggest change I want to see immediately is the jumping animation. It looks and feels horrible in game though it does rely heavily with fighting. I think it just looks horrible and takes away a lot from the immersion in the game itself.

Another thing I wanna see change is the option to fully opt out of camera lock. I like my sensitivity really high so I can move the camera at my own free camera really makes it harder for players like me to play. Maybe for PC players this is a better idea but for mobile players camera lock is not helpful. 

Also characters dialogue seems to fade out randomly at some points. Not sure if this is on purpose but I think it’s unnecessary and I’d rather them just say they’re full line.

I’d like to see is better rendering times and lighting while overall these are not a huge issue. Just there is some issues with rendering times for all of the assets in a certain level and sometimes the shadow is not high enough and things just look super washed out or overexposed.

Con

Overall, I’m pretty excited to see where this game is gonna end up in a year or two I hope it continues to grow and actively keeps getting updates and being worked on. I hope it just isn’t an immediate cash grab though all got games usually are. So I can’t hit it too hard on that.

Good luck to wuthering waves as it grows!!

[bizarreaizen]

i went to my very first anime con recently! :D [i cosplayed as hu tao] and i went with friends and we had a ton of fun! everyone was so sweet and it was genuinely a fun experience :) even though i was so nervous because it's my first time going to a con and cosplaying, i gained the confidence and really enjoyed it! i hope to cosplay and go to more cons in the future :3 /gen

A 16-year-old boy from Pimpri-Chinchwad in Maharashtra died after jumping from the 14th floor of his building, according to the police. They suspect he was addicted to online games, which may have led him to take this tragic step. The boy left a note called "Log out note," along with a strategy map of a multiplayer combat game. The police found several sketches and maps in his notebook. However, they haven't been able to access his laptop because they don't know the password. The police plan to get help from cyber experts to find out which online game he was playing.

[demonzhalo]

I love being so good at a game that I get called a bot. That is the highest possible compliment you could ever give. Like to you it might mean something negative but to me it means I'm so good you refuse to believe I'm an actual person.
