We've been knew but also I neeeed ur honest reaction lmao
Full post by the goat @rb19 @maxarchive here
BBC always insufferable but this just ridiculous. Asking an F1 driver if he wud naturally give somebody room in a corner exit might be most depressing shit I have ever had to read wid my own 2 eyes. Nvm that he's asking Max Verstappen of all people ... ‘racing another driver' by letting them complete an overtake just because they feel entitled to get to the front is literally antithetical to the whole concept of motor racing 😐 Its antithetical to 'competition' period .. Competition isnt fair, isnt deserved, isnt victimless. If it were, it wud not be ‘competition’, it wud be a game for children. Max was never treated like a child competing against adults and now 9 years later he’s getting grilled on what makes him such an aggressive competitor. I wrote a lil bit on dirty vs clean driving that I think sums up p well why Max will always get these kind of questions and others don’t.
The wdc exists to ensure that the human element remains the center piece of a motorized competition. Without the drivers championship, we wud grade these bitches on one lap pace and long run simulations and call it a day because a machine is easy to evaluate, a drivers handling of said machine over the course of 24 races is a much more interesting and compelling story. 'why wud u as an driver choose to utilize the full width of the track and not just roll out the red carpet for the pookie behind u 🥺' shud honestly get u sh0t as a journalist and I mean it.
If u give the full thing a read ((for @rb19)) Max is quick to mention how he cud tell even back in diapers karts which drivers were like him, and which drivers were more .. passive around the outside. He calls it a 'driver-related' thing. Some allow it, some dont. The ones who dont, who wud push him off track or pressure him into locking up, Max describes as having a lil more of a 'racing instinct'. What he leaves unsaid is that what separates these ‘passive drivers’ from the 1s ‘wid instinct’ is that this instinct is exactly what makes it impossible for him to just allow a driver to overtake him around the outside without putting up a fight to defend his position. It’s built into him. It’s how he races. And believe it or not.. and I’ll hold T Kravitz’ sweaty fucking hand when I say this, that’s completely fine. It’s fine to go racing wid a negative delta and not just roll over and let sweet Lando complete a single overtake. It’s fine to use the car and flirt wid guidelines if it keeps the point deficit as small as possible. It’s fine to fight for position in the. cars fight for position sport. It’s ok. I promise.
And lemme add 1 last thing. What people berate and insult and reprimand Max for now is the same shit they were checking off a list titled ‘future F1 champion’ when he was 13 years old. They knew, like Lauda knew, that to be as fast, as strong, as talented, quick in slow and fast corners, assertive, fearless, you need to be deliberate wid ur car as few in the history of the sport have been. U need to be so deliberate and confident in ur wheel that when someone asks u if u wud consider letting someone overtake u around the outside because 🥺 that’s so UNFAIR that u wud not let a car overtake u in the car racing competition 🥺 u can very calmly say ‘no lol’ instead of snapping ur fingers and unleashing Helmut Mario from a hidden hatch on the ceiling

I received a few asks around a similar topic, so I'm popping them together here. ( ´ ▽ ` ) DA:TV spoilers under cut.
[the Felassan Files]
hello! ◕‿◕ thank you for the lovely and fun ask messages!!
lavendervoids asked: "i’ve been dying to know what ur reaction was to seeing felassan in the game was???? the moment i saw him i was yelling and hollering and my first thought was “omg what does tumblr user felassan think of this” LMAO and thank you for all the documenting you’ve been doing up until and past the release of the game, i ended up blocking every dragon age tag a couple months back to avoid any sort of spoilers but i still came to your blog everyday cause i knew you wouldn’t spoil me haha"
hhhh ( ´ ▽ ` ) tysm for thinking of me at that time!! and for the nice comment about this blog and visiting it. I'm really glad to know that my approach to spoiler tagging etc has been okay for you.
littlerune asked: "i don't even know you but you and dragon age felassan are so intrinsically linked in my brain that when he appeared in veilguard all i thought was "ohhhh i wonder how tumblr user felassan feels about this"
hhhh :D 🥺 thankyou so much for thinking of me!! ♡ some say that his ghost operates this tumblr blog, or that he lives still
songofamazon asked: "I'm still on my first play of the game, but whenever I got to the memories in the Crossroads, I thought to myself, "I hope Tumblr Felassan is having a great time. Did you?"
I had a great time playing the game and when playing the Crossroads memories sections, I loved them a lot, they were very cool and a highlight of the game. thankyou sm and for thinking of me, and I hope that you did too!!
phantabula-interactive asked: "im so glad you're enjoying the game!! I had to ask; how did you feel about seeing Felassan in game?? I was so excited to see the notes from him, I wasn't expecting a boss fight MUCH LESS. FULL CAMEO!!! They made him a lot prettier than I was expecting too (/pos)"
thankyou!! I hope that you've been enjoying it too!
so: I was sooo excited and shook to see Felassan in the game!!! I was like
(I yelped/hooted out loud like a clown) and then
and then it was suddenly like too much (pos) and my soul left my body and i astral projected into space/paradise/the Astral Plane/the Void or something etc
and then it took me some time to process or gather my thoughts about it.
obviously I was super hoping that we would see him in the game. I was sure that there would at least be some references to him in codexes/notes etc or allusions made in passing dialogue like Cole and Solas' lines about him in Trespasser. then when the marketing mentioned that we would see flashbacks from Solas' past in the Crossroads, I was like aaa omg, wouldn't that be the perfect time to actually show Felassan??, as a Fade memory or flashback or spirit echo or something. so then I was hoping like 🕯️🕯️🕯️ and yea. but even so, still when I saw him in game for the first time it was still a huge shocked Pikachu moment for me.
I was already feeling psyched from the first Felassan codex/note that I found, then I couldn't believe (pos) just how many codexes/notes scattered around written by him that there was?? I was already feeling spoiled (not spoiled by spoilers but like spoiled from eating good) from that (a bunch of codexes/notes might not seem like a lot but when your fav is a side character that has only appeared in one [1] tie-in novel..) and then he goes and actually APPEARS, AAAA. I feel like I ate so good. with the Betrayal fight and the rune at the end as well, it felt like he was threaded throughout the game and was really haunting the narrative. some assorted thoughts:
first of all everything about his DA:TV appearances/DA:TV references continues to underscore that he is the greatest of all time
it also continues to underscore the pain of his death/story and of his friendship with Solas
may I please go and start a new life living in Solas' memories of Felassan on repeat. i simply do not care that my body would waste away in the waking world from lack of sustenance
in the endgame I was trying to concentrate and punch Elgar'nan in the face and save the world but I like couldn't see straight through the tears after having been given Felassan's Magical Boyfriend Super Rune (morrigan pls.. what a way to twist the KNIFE at an extremely critical moment for thedas hhhh..)
expansion pack where we relive Solas' memories of him and Felassan dating (he didn't deserve Felassan tho fr. but then, does anyone..?)
I know that Felassan would treat Lavellan sooooo right. so well. so respectfully. felassan would pull their chair out for them at restaurants and open car doors and whatever
Betrayal of Felassan refers to Solas' betrayal of Felassan, not Felassan's betrayal of Solas
also i love how they made him DEVASTATINGLY handsome?? in the game (they didnt need to go that hard), but also how, at the same time - even before the TME Deluxe edition illustrations, we all just inherently knew deep in our bones that he was, you could simply just tell from his energy and vibes and dialogue even in only the written word. cool rolls off this guy in waves, and always has done
did his model have smoky winged eye makeup? love that. love that for him
I liked his sense of style. the hair his model has happened to be one of the ones I was debating using for my Rook. it's one of my fav ones from the CC
I appreciated the attention they paid to detail when making his model. Mythal vallaslin, violet/purple eyes, an undercut - as he was previously described or shown in TME, dev social media comments and the TME deluxe illustrations
I liked the actor they chose for him, his voice was cool
I felt like his codexes and notes that he wrote captured his voice and his character. you can see the depth of his loyalty and devotion to his friend, his concerns, and he retains his 'voice' in terms of some snark, wit etc
it's fun thinking about whether Felassan originally manifested from the Fade (and if so, what was he a spirit of) or whether he was born the usual way of other elves. (it could be either one)
Betrayal of Felassan as a manifested embodied regret and its lines like "his back, turned".. very raw. that fight was hard enough mechanically for me as it was, then the lines were like being hamstrung LOL. how could they??? (pos/lh)
I always thought that, a long time ago, Solas was essentially the player character in a different game, the main character of another story. the leader of his own group of companions and friends on their own quest (to stop the Evanuris), and that Felassan was one of those companions. Alistair to his Hero of Ferelden if you will. in DA:TV we learn that not only was he one of his companions, he was basically the second-in-command of his rebellion, a General, his closest friend aside from Mythal and his right-hand man.
he was so cool back in his heyday
pain. paaaaain. but like in a good way (I unironically love to be hurt by stories pls continue 💀...)
there are a few further posts containing more bits of my reaction and thoughts scattered through my Felassan tag. ^^
There were also a few other asks about this in my inbox, but Tumblr appears to have eaten them?? :< so if you've asked me about Felassan and my reaction since launch but the message isn't in this post, thankyou sm and I'm very sorry. 😔 pls feel free to re-send it. :)
I do remember that one of the vanished messages asked me what the Slaughter of the Pillars boss regret refers to - the Pillars of the Earth are the Titans. ("Hail Mythal, adjudicator and savior! She has struck down the pillars of the earth and rendered their demesne unto the People! Praise her name forever!") That undead boss embodies another of Solas' greatest regrets, namely what he and Mythal did to the Titans during the war with them - sundering every Titan from their spirit, severing them from their dreams, which resulted in the Blight as the dreams were driven mad. it also in a sense broke the dwarves in two and caused the fall of the fate of the dwarven people. Beyond the mural-memory that pertains to this in DA:TV, there are depictions of this time in the ancient past in the DA:TV artbook: [one, two]. Annotations there describe Solas rendering the Titans tranquil and capturing their souls; dwarves as a consequence then losing their connection to magic and fleeing into the now-Tranquil earth; and the Evanuris then building Elvhenan using the power of the captured Titan souls.

"Stan favors Mabel and Ford Dipper" WRONG!!!
#We see them interact less due to their personalities.#Mabel is attracted to Stan much quicker#due to her nature of getting on other's good sides and wanting to be friends#as well as outgoing.#While Dipper was still unsure about his feelings of this for all intents and purposes stranger#Mabel would have squeezed her way into his life already. Dipper is not good with people#and insecure#so he takes Stan's jabs seriously just like he does with Mabel. Mabel and Stan have a love language#that include a few insults that have no real feelings in it.#He wouldn't catch on and participate or (depending on when) tell him straight up he doesn't like it.#Dipper is in it for the mysteries and locks himself up while focusing on it. It's on his mind the entire show.#Ford wasn't meant to talk to the kids. He was even avoiding Dipper until an accident happened and he got caught up in the game of ddmd.#Not to mention that the episodes almost always contribute to the story#even filler ones. They may not progress the plot but they will reveal sides of characters or show them growing or changing.#Ford was in it so little that they needed to squeeze the most out of the time which led to little Mabel and him filler.#He didn't have any problems with Mabel unlike how Dipper had some problems with Stan so that wasn't an issue to address#they love each other ur honor#gravity falls#my ramblings

God I wish we knew more about what specifically was going thru Jason’s head after his fight with Bruce, because essentially his entire worldview has been collapsed. He’s spent the past however many years believing that Bruce is ultimately responsible for the pain that he feels, that the entire Batman thing does nothing but harm others, and that the only way he will “get better” is by killing Bruce.
Finding out that he was apart of Jokers plan all along, and that no, Bruce actually DOES care about him and regret what happened, and actively WANTS to make it right by working together with him has to be insanely difficult for him. By the time he shows back up in game to paint the red hood symbols and get ready to save Bruce, he’s figured out that Scarecrow is going to finish the plan and kill Bruce and that he actually…doesn’t want that. And from there on now Jason has to spend time trying to figure out who he is again.
Not only did Joker put ideas in Jason’s head, but Jason also has spend the past few years with one goal in mind, kill Bruce. As far as I know he hasn’t spent any extra time on a side gig or playing some video game that he likes lol. So he needs to find himself again and figure out how to trust his thoughts and ideas and try to free himself from the joker.
#I’m the dlc he’s obviously gotten himself a new outfit and is working essentially as a pre n52 red hood. though from the way Babs and Bruce#talk to Jason in game I feel he’d have a slightly better relationship with them#and by better I don’t mean besties with them or anything but that they are more sorta…tolerant of him?#like I think Arkham Bruce is weirdly more understanding of his villains and is capable of having a lot of sympathy for them and this#clearly extends to Jason given how even after all the fear gas and militia Bruce’s response to Jason is just: ur my son and I want to help#and Barbra is very willing to argue with Jason over what he’s doing but also still sympathetic and wants him to come home.#so anyway I think they are reaching out more with offers of help and genuine worry for him. but not only do their ideas of Justice conflict#but Jason is still Goong Through It and can’t bring himself to fully trust them again#and he also needs to figure himself out without any outside influence#and btw none of this is me saying Arkham Bruce is better than comics Bruce i think they’re both wonderful and interesting and I like both#Bruce’s responses to Jason in utrh and in ak. they r awesome and cool and interesting.#and they both suit the story they are in#I was kinda just rambling through this and idk what my point is 👍 but I love Arkham knight Jason#arkham knight#dc#my post

on one hand wanting them to bring over features from style savvy
on the other hand wanting fashion dreamer to be able to be its own game....
#waves my arms around#idk if this makes sense like#if the game became TOO much like style savvy i feel like the disappointment would be stronger#like everyones like I WANT BRANDS AND MONEY AND A SHOP!!!#like the users are the brands....id like more items in the style of the ss brands tho!#and i like not having to worry about budget so i can go ham and get a ton of items#outside of u know making ur own items bc some of those cost a lot but point flow is usually good#id like the ability to easily search through users tho...idk i just dont like the your world its very overwhelming#i will follow people for fairs and completely forget about them#also being able to take pictures with your friends#like u know ppl just want fashion dreamer to BE style savvy and it never was supposed to be style savvy#vs something like acnh#and even then if this WAS style savvy and where they wanted to take it well thatd be a different story

so uh. that 2.2 Special Program, huh
#hsr#honkai star rail#hsr 2.2#hsr spoilers#hsr leaks#the body of this post reads as far less enthusiastic than i really am#i just don’t know how to casually return from my latest 2 week hiatus only to gush abt a game i’ve hardly blogged abt before#but i’m not making a whole ass sideblog for it like i did for Genshin. nah y’all r gonna bear witness to my fixation with this one#so anyways don’t mind me. vibrating into another dimension with anticipation for the next 11 days#it’s insane man. a year ago i Never ever woulda thought i’d be so invested in this game. and it took Months for the game to really grab me#but i’m v glad i kept coming back even when i was struggling to really get into it. like i just had this feeling that if i stuck around and#gave the game a chance to really like. come into its stride. i just always felt like there was Something there and i just hadn’t found it#and holy shit i finally found it in Penacony. the devs really truly outdid themselves with this region and these characters and this story#not to discount everything that’s happened prior. like i was genuinely Liking it all before now but i wasn’t Loving it y’know#but that may be more a ‘me having to fight tooth n’ nail to force myself to consume new media’ thing than it is a matter of the actual game#anyways i came here to talk abt the program! bc since i’m not filming my HSR stuff i’m gonna be insufferable abt it on Tumblr instead ! :)#and i’m probably not filming any more Genshin stuff. or anything else at all for that matter but let’s not talk abt that dead dream#pun not intended lmao. Anyways let’s return to the subject at hand while there’s still room left in these tags shall we#i’m so fucking glad they had Aventurine on this program man. especially since he’s leaked to only have 18 lines in 2.2… it was nice to see-#-him here at least ���� i’ll take what i can get. his unenthusiastic little bird noises at the beginning.. him being reluctant to come out..#the way one of the first things to come out of his mouth was ‘y’know DR RATIO once told me…’ like boy we get it ur in love with him 🙄 (/J!)#i love how they can’t go on these programs w/o talking abt each other it’s adorable. AND THE WAY HE WAS THE ONE TO EXPLAIN BOOTHILL’S KIT!?#they can’t just fuel my crackship like this… god and his whole ‘muddle-fudger.. son-of-a-nice-lady?’ thing had me wheezing#Aven mocking Boothill’s inability to curse was not on my special program bingo card but fuck i’m here for it#and Robin being all curious abt him was so cute.. ‘who /is/ he? … does he order milk at the bar?’ i’m crying she’s so sweet#also the trailer was fucking insane. which feels redundant as hell bc all of HoYo’s version trailers go hard but like. still. wow.#that millisecond long shot of Boothill surveying the skyline is so fucking good. also what the fuck is Jing Yuan doing here!!#not complaining at all tho. we’ve got JY & DH(IL?). Argenti(?). Boothill. Sunday. Aven. all my men r here and i am eating so fucking good#Seven.txt#viddy game stuff

this tagline...T_^ thinks about how main story alrdy referenced other timelines such as boundary power captain & like all of the events currently on the anni page? isnt only the sara & cagliostro events missing? along with all the different jobs, like its ssooo cheesy but i alrdy rly loved that they rly do lean into the timeline thing with 'everyone experiences granblue differently', so seeing this...regardless of the intention of it
#stardust speaking !#gbf spoilers//#I THINK...gbf is such a lovely game. and i think its perfectly fine to only enjoy the parts u want in what capacity u want#when they first mentioned timelines i was Very concerned<3 but? with the way theyre doing it..................im very fond of it#im keeping track of food rn so i cant rly have the focus to put together my words like i want to#but i think saying 'u can experience gbf in ur own way' along with how they already handle events (even if at this point u often have to#accept the narrative that these ppl know each other (even if they often Are introduced within the event/story#so i feel...? its ok. probably. im not new anymore. but also having the tab on the preview page#that says 'hey these are the related events + characters' has been such a lovely change too#even on the anni page directly linking the imprtant chs?!?!? i think its cool! like! i would nvr look thro all that as a new plyr but!#i like it#anyway having 'soar to the cosmos' when cosmos isnt there on the page is a crime#like i dont supercare but i also do think its hilarious LOL

Shout out to all of us who find horror comforting
#rant#i just! u know! for some people turning on Jennifers Body is cathartic#or turning on heck even Supernatural at some points. theres a reason many ppl back in the day gravitated to it in season 2 3 etc#theres just like. a relief sometimes. it depends on Which horror it is and The Individuap#and theres been like tons of studies on different ways horror is enjoyable for varied people#like. for some its this excitement to be alive/adrenaline like riding a rollercoaster.#with some. horror video games are like obtaining Power to Fight things youre afraid of which can feel#very reassuring. giving you a sense of control and safety over what you fear (since u control the game and the danger Is Not Real)#for some its the catharasis of seeing ur own pain recognized in a story. they grieve and u feel ur allowed to grieve#(like horror shows often help dispel my nightmares. like they help mental fears process themselves)#for some its more about experiemcing the fictional horror WITH someone like a friend#which makes u feel supported and connected and it can be a bonding experience (perhaps whtly#its so fun to go thru a haunted house place WITH friends or play a horror game or watch a horror movie WITH friends family or lovers)

Neon White is great. I fuck up a stage and fall straight to the bottom, get an achievement called ‘Idiot Island- Reach Idiot Island’ for landing in the middle of nowhere instead of in the void, and laugh out loud while also internalizing this specific image for all of my remaining attempts
#chattin#and my MOM was watching me play so i had to hear her fall over mocking me while i laughed hysterically#VIOLETS SO MEAN !!! UGH#😭😭😭😭😭😭#anyway i cleared it. her stages are so disrespectful#but like oddly it doesnt frustrate me#like im aware now that her particular sidequests are just mean#instead of the whole game being that mean#like i know what to expect so i just suck it up#i like reds sidequests wayyy more. streamlined parkour stages spark joy#and i dunno about yellows stages; its not streamlined like reds and its not evil like violets#ur kinda just hangin there. chillin. fighting. etc. i like that tho#yellow and red have grown on me#violet is still . well im putting her in a little box away from me. shes still annoying. but im trying#trying to keep my eyes open. cause like. now that im past the introductions#this games story and dialogue and relationships feel. good. more cheeky than cringey#i think the problem is that red n yellow are getting more flavor text that makes them feel like real people#and even the angels are fun to interact w; i really like gabby and mikey lol#but violet never feels like a real person; she feels like a dudes manic pixie sadist come to life#so she just never talks or behaves like literally anything remotely close to a person#but im very close to unlocking a memory w her so who knows what will change

IF THAT MAKES SENSE#like the stubborn and the hunted's affinity for combat/survival in the beast route or paranoids autonomic nervous system thing#she heart on my lungs till i liver nerves#I WISH IC OULD SAY MORE BUT SPOILERS BUT ALSO RAGHHH. they werent lying it really is a love story (gripping table so tightly it splinters)#THE WAY THE FIRST CABIN RUNTHRU IS LIKE UR DEFAULT SLATE AND THEN THE CHOICES YOU MAKE SLASH HOW YOU PERCEIVE THE PRINCESS IN THAT ROUTE#AFFECT WHAT SHE APPEARS AS TO YOU LATER#EVEN DOWN TO TAKING THE KNIFE#how shes docile and initially innocent if you dont take it but calculating and dangerous if you do#or depending on how you die she reappears as vengeful or simply cruel or resigned etc and then different voices show up to compliment that#i always feel so lame giving faceless characters visual appearances though its part of the mystique intrigue or whatever#but my boring hc for the mc is that hes like a harpy. a la howl movingcastle type beat but i also love birdman mc#its just that i wasnt paying attention earlier and imagined him as like a generic fairytale prince/knight and then realized oh he has TALON#I NEED TO SHUT UP OH MY GOD BUT ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I WANT TO DRAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nothing to me will ever be more iconic than my beloved mutual managing to get me so invested in a (rarepair) ship for a media i had no previous interaction with that i was actively making my own headcanons abt their potential relationship dynamic and making song associations and engaging in others’ brainrot for months before i ever even considered getting in to said media. and now a year later i’m finally writing fic for them but still know next to nothing abt what they’re like in canon cause i still haven’t made it to that part of the story, the memories of the shared delusion are genuinely the only thing keeping me going.
#poppy if ur reading this ilysm ylne has been a constant over the past year (consistent in ruining my LIFE)#the most mundane things are them i was running a bath the other day and bam suddenly had an insane fic idea#was just putting my hair into a small plait rn and remembered the time i used that as insp for an angst idea. every song can be them too#i don’t really talk abt them on tumblr cause i’m still technically not actually. IN the genshin fandom#i play the game (now. entire months after i first was introduced to the ship) and i like characters and find the story intriguing but#my love for ylne transcends all that and the vision is both v simple and v insane & only my 3 twt mutuals bar poppy Get it#but also its really funny one of them isnt a playable character and probably never will be and he’s got like. a few mentions and#there is literally only one image of him out there (2 but the second was part of leaks drama). but im attached to his nonexistent wife#who he’s cheating on. the hannigram brainrot was easy to transfer across because they feel so similar but somehow even w/o cannibalism#they’re Worse and they’ve taken up permanent residence in my mind#and yes i’m only thinking abt all this as a way of procrastinating writing said fic its soso hard trying to do them justice 😔#i think its genuinely become a pattern where i will write things that are So divorced from their original media and honestly. what a slay#faera's

Naruto shippuden things that made me lose my mind (ep 424-season 20 ep 30):
Madara just shot a laser out of his mouth?
Madara: he can see my limbo???
Madara sailing thru the air: I'll be taking that *rips Kakashi's eye out of his skull*
Madara, casually: sasuke sure is quick *gets sliced in half by sasuke*
Kakashi, thinking abt young team 7: I misunderstood you all then, in some ways I probably still do (Kakashi, u just said it was sakura's job to pull sasuke from the darkness, that is the most fundamental misunderstanding of team 7 u could have)
*apocalyptic things happening* shikamru: I think something bad's happening over there (thanks, dumbass)
Tenzo's dream is for team 7 to accept him as their captain 😭
Sasuke getting purple snake goo spit in his face made me laugh aloud
Madara, talking abt chakra: I will get rid of this curse upon humanity (do it, king!)
This is from a filler english dub episode but: Christmas exists in naruto -> ninja Jesus confirmed
It's so unbelievable in tenten's mind that she could protect and be valuable to her friends and village that the infinite tsukuyomi put her into the Menma AU. That's fucked up.
Jesus. Karin's backstory. Pretty fucked up that she's gonna end up working for orochimaru forever.
Tsunade's infinite tsukuyomi dream: I would like to join the audience in watching the TV show Naruto
I feel like it says a lot that senju tsunade set a huyga at the center of the Akatsuki plan instead of a uchiha
Everytime they talk about neji, the more you can feel how hard they fucked up by killing him
Fuck sasuke being a cop. I hate it. But also sasuke is the type of person who would become batman. He ran around calling himself an avenger. I hate it but it doesn't feel wrong. It is funny tho that instead of joining orochimaru, sasuke's evil arc is becoming a cop.
#idk tsunades dream feels like senju propaganda#like idk what the uchiha even want. they feel like they're being outcast but like also they kinda fucking suck#obviously they didn't deserve to die but like. i 1000% believe they would absolutely abuse their power as the police#and like if ur the government do u really want to take in a bunch of violent cops with fucked up magic eyes??? not really#but idk the whole institution of Konoha is wrotten to the core. which is the fucking point. its a fucked up devil tree#that is fucking overtly in the story. theres an evil demon tree thst kills ppl and naruto lives in the village hidden in the leaves which#is corrupted from the roots up. its evil. the village is evil. its insane. wtf was i sayying?#oh yeah im only partway thu tsunades dream but im posting this now bc its too far back in my notes#ugh. fuck the uchiha. im glad they died. they were fucked up. im also glad all the senju r dead. may all the clans die forever 🙏#everyone dies and then there will b peace in the naruto world.... thats a very madara line of thought...#thats y naruto is a better person than me. i would sands of destruction that shit#god. but in that game they also dont end the world... that world didnt seem as bad as the naruto world tho#naruto ramblings

cyberpunkdreams review
TLDR
cyberpunk dystopic text-based game
lgbt+ friendly, i’m currently playing the game as a genderfluid bi masc-presenting character
meant to be played long-term, not a game to bang out in 20 hrs
made by one dev (correct me if i’m wrong), which is insanely impressive for a game that feels very high-quality
entirely free to play! not pay to win either!
I’ve been playing this game for some days now. I initially encountered it while looking for Fallen London stuff - pretty happy coincidence.
The game itself, without any spoilers, is a cyberpunk dystopic future set in post-apocalyptic America. It uses the same action system that Fallen London uses and a lot of its UI is also very reminiscent of FL. However, it distinguishes itself from its inspiration with its action economy.
In FL, without any subscriptions, playing completely free, you have 20 actions that are used as you go through the world - exploring, stealing, observing, running, etc. In CPD, the limit is 50. Yeah.
I found my first couple days in CPD more fulfiling and engaging than FL, largely due to the feeling that what I was doing with my character mattered. In FL, it feels hard to actually care about what’s happening because I know in a handful of turns I’ll be unable to continue. If I finish a questline in that time, it’d be a surprise. If I can even find a questline in that time, that’s a bigger surprise. I often feel like I’m just spinning my wheels, getting no traction, grinding stats that mean nothing and do nothing because I’m already done with my allowed playtime before I can get a grasp on them.
In CPD, I was able to get through a significant portion of the introduction quests in my first go. When I waste actions doing silly things, it doesn’t feel as bad. I could start a quest, finish another quest, and other side errands before I run out of actions, and when I finish with my economy for the day, it feels like I actually did get to play and interact and engage with the game. The starting portion of the game giving you a guided quest feels a lot better than when I signed up for FL and wasted all my actions trying to understand wtf the game was even offering.
If you’re interested in text-based games, if you liked FL and want something similar, if you enjoy cyberpunk, then I really recommend trying this out. It’s entirely free to play with an optional credits system that gives you access to certain things, but I genuinely don’t feel like the loss of this “premium” worsens the gaming experience. There is ALSO a subscription that gives you a slightly higher action count and imo, as someone who DID subscibe to FL to see if being an Exceptional Friend improved the feeling of the game, I think my money is better spent subscribing to CPD. Better action economy, no payment scheme to enjoy the in-game content, the game itself feels overall more accessible as a new player.
#cyberpunkdreams#game review#it genuinely saddens me that being an ef felt kinda like a waste of money. like ok 20 more actions but i dont actually get any access#to the stories#which makes free fallen london feel kinda like a gacha. not saying it is but rather#like the game genuinely expected me to grind stats without even interesting questlines to go with it#cpd is also grindy but it gives u lots of ways to restore ur actions for FREE#if you cant play one day u can store all ur actions and use them for a longer gaming session#and while i havent played cpd for very long i have not seen a lot of credit-locked content#whereas fl felt like i couldn't go one card without smthg being locked#which rly sucks bc you can literally SEE the amount of content being withheld bc u dont want to play ten bucks per questline
