dgs/tgaa 1-2 spoilers

ok i just finished dgs 1-2, im cryinf so hard bro this might be the saddest case but also the funniest case because i was passing out laughing at everything herlock sholmes said and did and also going crazy over this logic and reasoning spectacular because he is so cool and sexc to me even if he is a big loser and also the russian accents being written were taking me out like no right to be so funny. i was laughing like a 12 year old over the “kriminal” sorry. anyway it was so nice i probably the best 2nd case in any of the ace attorney games i tend to not love the 2nd cases that much if anything i usually prefer 3rd cases lol but this was excellent AND incredibly sad like what do you mean my best friend and partner passed as he was about to consult me on something important…. Because he trusted me and valued my opinion,,, and he brought me on this journey even if it was a hassle and a HUGE RISK just because of how much he cared about me.. he brought me On this important mission the most important thing to him. what if i cried forever….. kazuma i will make you proud

alright. i played death note game for the first time. here are my observations from the three games i played

joined an incredibly lovely lobby. if you guys see this hi im rook and i'm sorry for deceiving you

got kira follower two games in a row

won both, hell yeah

told everyone it was my first time playing the game (true) and that i didn't know how the game worked (also mostly true)

got kira my third game. literally what are the odds of this happening to me i didn't get to side with L a single time

day 1: immediately start killing aggressively with zero subtlety.

raised suspicions to the point i was the literal only suspect and everyone was talking about voting for me

i have all the evidence on me and if i get arrested i lose right here. not good. how do i get out of this

distracted them from interrogating me by asking inane questions and playing dumb

stalled out the timer and diverted conversation until everyone was confused and time ran out, forcing a skipped vote. the timer is LONG. this took a WHILE

one player was ultra sus of me and told everyone else if they died then i must be kira

day 2: immediately handed off the death note and all my evidence to my teammate

instructed them to kill the player who suspected me so that all suspicion would fall on me and not on them

deliberately acted as suspicious as possible to get myself caught at the next meeting

everyone is incredibly sus of me at the meeting because i've been standing near literally everyone

everyone votes for me apologetically ("sorry rook that this is your first experience, no way you got kira three times in a row but it's too sus, hope you get a chance to learn the game properly")

sadly conceded to everyone that i understood i must look very sus and didn't know how to defend myself :(

got arrested. no evidence on me.

guess i'm not kira!

follower killed L

kira wins again :)

monologued to the extremely lovely lobby about my evil plan incl. keikaku doori (joke i made on purpose) and maniacal laughter (this just happened naturally)

"wow. you really do know how to play this game."

(i do not. i got very, very lucky and had excellent teammates. but like, im happy to take credit for it.)

exp boost to 11

My Top 5:

anonymous asked: top 5 locations in a game of your choice?

[ziptie-bouquet]

Capillaries. Myelin sheathing. Microglia.

I love how the game seems to take inspiration from those simplified cell drawings with bright colors and exaggerated shapes.

I love how the devs seem to have used microscopic images as a reference to make their alien world feel more alien.

I love the way the myelin sheathing is on the cables because it makes electric signals travel at a faster speed in real life... Those designs work and don't feel limited by what they took inspiration from.

cant believe when im consuming deltarune theories i have to sit through takes like "yeah I guess ANOTHER HIM sounds kinda like gasters theme but theres no proof" or "yeah people assume the intro narrator is gaster but we dont actually know"

like do yall need Toby to spell it out in big block letters for you?

OH WAIT. HE DID.

When Ekko released in 2015 it was so awesome, he had a great voice actor (at least in Brazil his voice is really well known), he had a cool design, fun powers and an amazing backstory. He was a black kid from a poor upbringing who, despite the environment he grew up in, learnt to create incredible things basically out of scrap. He was a genuine hero in a land where most of the characters were bad people or chaotic monsters, he fought for what was right and tried his best to save the people he loved.

Over the years he became the face of resistance in Zaun, every story was about him fighting for the people, every voice line with other champions showed how much people admired him. Fuck, I know it's probably not canon but Azir of all people treats him well in their interactions, that's how cool he is. So it bothers me a little that the freedom fighter/symbol of resistance in Zaun role is being shifted to Jinx in the show.

She, and the Inx (her blue haired followers), are literal antagonists in his game, he has to fight them because all they care about is chaos. I understand though what they are building up to in Arcane and it is very well written, but it makes me a bit sad. Especially because of how I see most of the fandom treat Ekko, most talk about him has to do with Jinx and fair, I guess, Arcane barely gives him solo screen time. But y'know, I wish after this they give him another game or a comic book, Idk. I really don't want Ekko to just become a background character on someone else's narrative.

As much as I love the BG3 community on Reddit, stuff like this really bothers me.

1.6k people have so little media literacy they think Gale being Mystra's kept wizard in Elysium after all she put him through somehow constitutes a good ending.

Like seriously wtf. No one would consider sending Astarion back to Cazador a good ending, even if Cazador magically offered to make him a true vampire.

Don't get me started on all the jokes about Wyll having the hots for Mizora. At least those are "jokes".

If nothing else this game has really opened my eyes to how utterly ignored men's abuse at the hand of a woman abuser is. Makes me sick.

what does it say about me that my favorite genre of tv show is "deranged man in suit forces comedians to do increasingly bizarre things for entertainment"

we all know human vigilante… but what about… slightly human vigilante

[ssruis]

I love LSH so much it’s genuinely one of the funniest events in the entire game but I think one of my favorite things is toya getting so mad at akito (because he’s largely unrepentant about failing) & then when he finds out his older brother figure failed a class he literally does not give a fuck. Zero reaction. I know this is because he knows tsukasa has already had his 46 allotted Fits about it and will be hitting the books hard but imagining akito’s face when he realizes toya is not concerned abt tsukasa’s studying and is only being a hard ass about his studying is so funny to me. Tsukasa could go “yeah I’m just gonna cram for this exam” & toya would go “I believe in you tsukasa senpai” but if akito said that exact same thing Toya would be So Pissed.

i am not a woman, i'm a god

I think I did a pretty good job bringing her to life in the sims!!! I wanna make a full-on edit with her, but this was plenty for tonight.

[valkyurii]

it’s funny how things have gone full circle with malenia. she was so hated when the game first came out, but then people grew to like her. then the dlc came out and now people hate her again lmao

[endiness]

tbh i feel like people who think will and eddie would get along fundamentally do not understand will and are just eddie stans who cannot be objective when it comes to his character and want to shoehorn him into everything regardless if it actually works.

[aces-to-apples]

Frankly I think Alistair being mildly shitty to that mage in Ostagar seems pretty in-character for the guy he is before the massive, life-altering trauma that is the Ostagar massacre wherein he sees all of his Grey Warden comrades, his beloved mentor/father figure, and his beloathed half-brother/convenient-target-of-projection absolutely torn to shreds by literal Thedas boogeymen. IIRC Morrigan and Flemeth both comment on his wack behavior after Ostagar and then by the time we get to Lothering Alistair just fully surrenders any and all responsibility (and, frankly, agency) to the player's Warden for the foreseeable future. It can then take anywhere from a couple IRL hours to the entire second act of the game for him to retake almost any amount of it back. And depending on the player's choices in dialogue, and especially whether or not they choose to romance him, we may only see flashes of that guy we met at Ostagar before he potentially morphs into almost someone else entirely (hardened!King!Alistair). All that to say, I don't actually think it's a useful criticism of "characterization" to bring up Alistair's glibness as compared to his behavior in the majority of the game because from where I'm standing (looking directly at his snottiness about Cailan, his complaints about being assigned to the Tower of Ishal, his Templar-esque focusing on Morrigan and Flemeth being apostates, his generally pretty brusque manner with the Warden recruits) it seems fairly in-line with the rest of his behavior at Ostagar.

I love Monster Hunter enough to get a ps5 for it. Through this one game alone I anticipate getting at least 1000hrs of use out of that console, so truthfully there are worse investments.
