@maryse127 Tagged me in a chain.

The concept is to make a poll with five of your favorite characters, and then tag five other people to make theirs.

I’m going to poke @felikatze @sunset-bridge @yarart4ever @goldensunset and @vivi-mire

[shinjuku-death-parade]

I did a thing cause I saw that @maryse127 post. Happy December y’all!

[joshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

@maryse127​ I managed to and I do not have any specific hints other than I think a couple of the unique monsters drop them so it might be that you need to kill a few more of those

@maryse127 tagged me to talk about 4 albums Ive been listening to! So here's some music I've had on lately in no particular order.

So much (for) stardust-fall out boy

I'm not a huge fall out boy fan, but I absolutely love this album so much. Heaven, Iowa is probably my favorite song right now. This album makes me want to go back and give their other stuff another try.

Diary-sunny day real estate

Ive been on a sunny day real estate kick lately for some reason. Their music is good background music to studying, and I'm working on a patch of the art right now (just have the lines done so far). In circles is my favorite song of theirs in general, not just on the album.

Road to ruin-ramones

They're my dad's favorite band, so I find them somewhat comforting since they were on a lot when I was young. I checked this out at the library a couple weeks ago, and have been falling asleep to it most nights since. Favorite song is I wanna be sedated, mostly because of childhood memories

Sister Cities-the wonder years

Always assume I'm listening to the wonder years (I am right now actually). One of my absolute favorite bands currently, and I've found this album especially comforting due to recent family events. I listened to this album in it's entirety 3 times in a row last Friday. I don't think I have a favorite song, but raining in Kyoto specifically has been on repeat.

Thanks again for the tag @maryse127!

No pressure to do this, @p0tato-kn1shes @ttearsofthekingdom @trinity-blaze @rwbypro and anyone else who sees this and wants to talk about their music! You can make your own post or reblog this one, whatever you prefer

1, 2, 8 and 30 for the videogame asks!

Dont mind me asking like 4 in one ask

1. Last game you finished: I just finished replaying Xenoblade 1 last night! I'd been putting off the final boss gauntlet for months bc I wanted to savor the last scenes with Dickson the whole party (and also just to have enough time/energy set aside to get through the entire gauntlet and finale). I also got Colony 6 completely upgraded, though not at 100% bc I hadn't invited quite enough people. I'm not sure if I'm going to play Future Connected or do New Game Plus or something else next.

2. Game(s) you’re currently playing: Actively: Torna, Breath of the Wild, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and good ol' Mario Kart and Smash Bros. w/my housemates. I have a bunch more on the backburner that I need to pick up again (Celeste, Disco Elysium, Okami, Riven, Exile, The Jig Is Up, maybe try Deltarune again...)

8. A series you haven’t played but are interested in trying: Hades, maybe?? I don't think I've ever played that kind of game but art style go brrrrrr

30. Game you think you’ll finish next? bold of you to assume i finish games (ignore question 1). Uhhh probably The Jig Is Up just bc it's the shortest one in here and I'm already most of the way through it, but maybe the first Ace Attorney depending on how hard I try to power through it. I might also be close to finishing Riven again.

@maryse127 Tagged me in a “getting to know you” type of post, so I figured why not.

Three ships: Tigress/Po (has been with me since childhood) Cloud/Tifa (childhood friends is such a good trope. And she literally put him back together.) Taion/Eunie (I love how these two develop together)

Last Song: Sh-Boom, by The Chords. (I was feeling nostalgic for Cars)

Last Movie: Shazam, Fury of the Gods. (Solid action movie)

Currently reading: The Magic of Recluce, by L.E. Modesitt Jr. (A nice coming of age fantasy novel with some interesting ideas on magic. Although I’m not a fan of how he relies on onomatopoeia exclusively for fight scenes.)

Currently watching: Mobile Suit Gundam SEED (Melodramatic, sure, but I’d rather take passionate if somewhat illogical characters rather than nothing characters in a perfectly logical plot [00 I am Looking in Your Direction])

Currently consuming: Nothing, lol. Just got back from Breakfast about an hour ago. (Eggs and Sausage.)

Currently craving: I need some more drinks in my fridge, but as for meals, Fish and Chips sounds so good rn.

Since I’m curious, I’ll tag @yarart4ever @vivi-mire @goldensunset @eggs-can-draw @purplelea @kosmososs

[theoretical-tactician]

Did you know there are two different Black Eagle routes. I don't know the specifics but Gamexplain did a video on how to get it. You love Edelgard so much I just want to make sure you know about the second Eagle route ^^

Yeah, I knew of the other Eagles route, the game did give me the choice after all, but I chose to go with Edelgard’s route and not the other default Eagles route. That one...goes against Edelgard and I believe is the rumored genocide route. I plan to save it for last, since it would add that final bow of information after the main house routes.

27 for the NotSpotify Wrapped ask :)

You got “The Skrigjaargen Polka” (an adaptation of the Finnish “Säkkijärven Polkka”) by The Dreadnoughts!

[xenobladeimagines]

Could you please do Jin for the random headcanon thingy??

He can and will use his sword as a knife to cut food and vegetables, but he won’t let Lora do the same.

[maryse127]

Kingdom Hearts 2 is so wild. Like at some point the gang randomly runs into Sephiroth and talk about the darkness inside Cloud, then Sephiroth just leaves. Next they directly disobey orders from their king who is Mickey fucking Mouse and fight one of the bad guys who kinda just summons water spirits with what looks like a guitar (i know it isnt but it looks like it). At some point there is a waaay too long cutscene of Xemnas walking down a ramp to talk to a pile of broken armor which makes absolutely no sense if you dont know BBS. There is also a cutscene of Cloud Strife and Squall Leonhart standing back to back, completely surrounded trash talking eachother before they attack. Then the game makes it look like Goofy fucking dies. Mickey and Donald storm off to avenge their fallen friend. Sora follows and has some cool fights working together with a bunch of Final Fantasy characters which is awesome. After this Goofy just walks in being completely fine. What is this game and why is it awesome

@maryse127

Okay so as you all know I’m extremely cool and clever and also a published scientist, so let me tell you about my latest research.

In the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the continent of Hyrule is one of the biggest open-world maps ever created, even beating games like Skyrim and the Witcher. But, HOW BIG?

Obvs it’s very hard to get a precise size because the in-game map does not have a scale bar (terrible map skills from that cartographer). HOWEVER, if you climb the Ridgeland Tower there’s a guy up there who is a weeaboo for the Rito, who begs you to glide for him in the name of “research” (what a fucking dweeb am I right?) If you do so, he tells you how many metres you’ve flown before landing. This includes if you simply step off the tower and plummet to the ground in a straight line, and happily for my in-game ankles, the tower is surrounded by water to cushion the many landings I made to bring you this information.

Ten drops gave me a mean average height for the tower at 63.83, median 64.2, so I’m taking it as 64 for ease of Maffs.

For a flight from the tower, I picked a strip of land on the same contour line as the tower base and then flew along that. There was a slightly higher standard deviation in twelve flights because sometimes Link would step nicely over the edge and start gliding and other times he would yeet himself bodily into the sky and then start, and one time gave me an outlier because I got zapped by an electric Wizzrobe that saw me. But over all, flying the same line and hitting pretty much the same landing spot, I got an average of 250.1 metres. I took this as 250, again for ease of Maffs.

Pythagoras’ theorem hit then, so I worked out that the distance from the base of the tower to the landing spot was 242 m. Putting that into Adobe Dreamworks, I could then translate that per pixel of the map I was working with (2.42 metres per pixel.) From there, that allowed me to calculate the area of Hyrule’s land mass, roughly, in pixels and then convert it back, so having done that GUESS WHAT FOLKS

Hyrule is 25,454 km2, or 15,816 sq mi.

Wales, by contrast, is 20,735 km2, or 12,884 sq mil.

So the continent of Hyrule is, it seems, bigger than my entire country to the tune of about one and a quarter times the size.

Thank you all for listening, I will now take questions.

maryse127 replied to your photo “This includes Female Robin’s voice too, nice!”

How do you unlock different system voices?? I don't have the game yet but I'm curious

Judging from the ones I’ve unlocked so far (Cordelia, Robin, Lucina, Lissa) I’m guessing it has something to do with how much you’ve used the character.

[humongousfurybeard]

These Dutch commentators suck like every year. Why they haven't asked @maryse127 and me to do it yet is beyond me.

[rollypoliesonarock]

Thanks for the powerpoint. I would also like to add that all the videogame characters with large chests sometimes make me feel very uncomfortable because it makes me feel like girls with small chests, like me, are thought to be less beautiful. Also it is time they stop sexualising woman in gaming. Let a woman have decent armor/clothes so she looks badass and doesn't die from the first arrow to reach her chest.

Yeah, I think there are two huge problems with the body shapes of sexualized ladies:

Shows off bad body proportions that cause medical problems and pain when living human women have such proportions.

Makes people who don’t have such proportions feel less beautiful.

I hope that we can one day have proper body shapes/proportions in female video game characters as well as stop sexualization.
