#it was weird idk man

[furballfaggot]

just had a dream where there was a homebrew 3ds game (although it played exactly like a regular ds game) called Julie's Jewelbox that was deliberately made as a "creepy" game but without the tropes like "ooooh its hAUUUnteeeddd!!!!" or "jumpscare Here jumpscare There put another one in the Corner lots of Blood etc etc" and was the focus of many a horror-gaming youtuber at the time

there were segments where you had to watch a video on the top screen and then answer 4 mostly-related questions as you went along on the bottom screen, you had a pet you couldnt actually take care of (no button on the menu) but i think also couldnt die so they just deteriorated as you played, gamemodes and minigames that were entirely unfinished ("This feature is not implemented yet!") and just displayed broken models and sprites or fucked up backgrounds and shit, there were a lot of cameos from famous youtubers in the videos (first two i can remember are matpat and tom cardy) for like Zero Reason, and the music was all intentionally made to be just Stereotypically Creepy enough to be off-putting

the videos themselves were reminiscent of things like This House Has People In It, and they were done in the styles of the cameos. tom cardy got a music video, matpat specifically got a game theory live bit for some reason, etc. etc. and most of them involved the characters they played (fictional versions of themselves) just. quietly dying by the end. no fanfare, no jumpscare, no mourning. just dead! you couldnt return to the videos afterwards, would just claim that the feature wasnt implemented yet, and those characters wouldnt appear in any other videos

the pet i mentioned 3 decades ago would always be on the top screen in the menu, which youd be booted back to every time you finished something, and they would have an animation where they turn to look at you from the side of the screen where youd see their devolving condition in detail before it hard cut to them just sitting on the top screen doing some idle animations -- though notably they still looked like ass

all the ui and menus were pink. it was made to resemble a stereotypical "girls game" through and through. julie herself was a woman with brown hair in a ponytail with a purple shirt on. which is strikingly similar to my fashion sense around the time the look and vibes of the game as advertised in a world where it was a normal ds game would have sold me on it actually. funny how that works! anyways julie was barely present in the game itself but she sure as hell had voice lines and these voice lines would pop in at various points to comment on things

i remember 2 distinct moments that, of all things, the in-game keyboards were fucked. you couldnt type with the 3ds keyboard so you had to use the in-game ones, but one of them had the strangest letter inputs and the other had the strangest way of ordering the letters. ill doodle em when ive got time but i assure you it was not fun

when i woke up i was convinced it was real for like a solid 30 seconds. it is not

second image: the same creature as described before drawn with pencil, there are five of them, in the upper left corner it is yawning, showing off the sharp cat teeth it has, in the upper right corner it is looking up, looking interested, in the middle it has a “smiling” eye, lower left corner it’s playing with a yarn ball, pupil dilated, lower right corner it is sleeping, curled up, eye closed. end of ID]

kacchan telling izuku that his body moved on his own is fucking crazy. like not only did kacchan remember izuku saying that all the way back from the sludge-villain incident but he’s also confirming that izuku’s crazy, boarder-line suicidal intensity is a two way street. it’s not just izuku who is insane about kacchan it’s mutual insanity. kacchan’s body moved on its own. he was helpless but to throw himself into the line of fire when he saw izuku was in danger. he didn’t think about it. he didn’t choose to do it. he didn’t have a choice. it was as if izuku was a piece of his own soul. katsuki instinctually needed to protect him above all else, even at the cost of his own life

How did y’all choose your names? Was it just trial and error?

had some time to think and watch people watch the minecraft movie trailer, and i think I've realized my main gripe with it. out of all the directions they could have chosen, why did they go with the one they did???

like. okay. i watched both phil and mumbo watch the trailer who had very different and opposite thoughts. i think mumbo was right in that it seems like it's trying to be an absurd, camp, and silly movie that makes fun of itself. the style (how ever mismatched) leans into that and the humor seems to go in that direction. and I think for what it's trying to be (camp, absurd, making fun of itself), it will probably be an okay movie! the focus won't be on minecraft, it will be on the minecraft world, if that makes sense. the look and mechanics over the feel and vibe.

on the other hand. i hate that they chose this direction. minecraft is such a game of stories, of the hidden stories, of what you make of the mysterious and wonderful world around you. you have the end poem. you have the music. you ha e the ruins. you have new expiernces and wonder and fear. yes it's a big world, but it also feels small. it's just you! in this abandoned and recovering world. and it loves you.

it just feels like that whole aspect of the game doesn't matter here. it's just the surface level appearance, mechanics, and look of the game. it honestly feels more like minecraft legends than normal minecraft, but even then it's missing the whimsy of legends.

yes it looks bad. yes it has like four different art styles. I think for what they're trying to do it will be Okay at best. but what it could've been. that's the real loss. It could've been about nostalgia. about love. about the universe. about making your own world with your own hands. about the quiet emptiness left behind you now have to live in. those raw experiences that won't be considered. whatever

man there's something so painfully unique about the relationship with someone in your same system

like. hi. we're strangers. I know everything about you. I've seen you maybe twice in my life. I know every edge of your being viscerally. I've walked in the same skin as you. I love you inherently. I barely know you. I know you. more than anyone ever could. I'm walking the exact same existence as you. I've lived in your skin.

We've barely been introduced.

Here we are. In this terrible experiment. We're in this together, and fuck if that isn't terrifying.

there's something so painfully unique about the relationship with someone in your same system.

you know?
