Walk the Divide
(7/14/23)
#fallout new vegas#new vegas#lonesome road#fallout#art#oc#lao#just finished this DLC again i forgot how much i like it#mechanically not just story-wise#like theres tons of locks to pick and theres useful items in every container#whereas the main game you rarely get to use the lockpick skill and containers are almost ALWAYS junk#marked men are fun enemies too esp when they suddenly use a stealth boy and you hear the sound effect go off#uhhh#the deathclaws sucked though#that did suck really bad

bloodborne with all its endless gore and lovecraftian horrors, and yet the first thing that's actually grossed me out are the big spiders you find in mergo's loft
#patches i killed immediately but he was also pretty gross#rom was borderline but she doesn't even look like a spider#and her smaller spiders were just annoying mechanics-wise but visually i could manage#THESE SPIDERS ARE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY#bloodborne#.txtpost

his design caught my eye in the beginning but when i actually met him in game..
#yomi#yomi hellsmile#rain code#master detective archives: rain code#mdarc#rain code fanart#IM IN LOVE WITH HALARA NIGHTMARE#guys i have to be studying for the sat rn I CANT PLAY RAINCODE BUT I NEED TO PLAY RAINCODE i js got the chapter 4 investigation but#i cant play again until i take the sat WHICH IS IN A WEEK UGHUGHUGHUGHG#i have like mixed opinions on Certain.. things but i think its pretty standard story content wise for a spike game LOL#the music is so good tho and im having a blast playing even tho SOME mechanics r a little frustrating to me but that might just be bc#i have terrible depth perception.

ive been playing a bunch of those merge mobile games lately and am gradually becoming possessed with the urge to make my own so that i can fix all the problems with them
#requirement 1: no energy limits. i am not here to drag out your play time artificially‚ i am here to make a game you bave fun playing#if that means you play it all in one ill-advised night then by god that is what will happen#requirement 2: no gambling mechanics#requirement 3: the shit you merge actually does something gameplay wise rather than you just Making a thing and getting coins#out of it that you use to advance the story thats happening entirely separate from the gameplay#requirement 4: ability to skip lower tier items past a certain point#requirement 5: no fucking ads#requirement 6: unique art for every item tier‚ no boring simple recolors of existing items#ill prolly think of more as time goes on but yeah no im just like. you guys are so close to a satisfying gameplay loop and then slam dunk it#directly into the ground to squeeze money out of kids who have access to their parents credit cards#and i hate it and want to fix it kabfksnfmsn#origibberish

Okay but am I the only one annoyed by how pathetic the Emperor is mechanically compared to illithid!Tav/Origin or illithid!Orpheus?
I’ve done the ending multiple ways for a few Tavs and like…he’s lacking so much illithid shit
“You’ve seen what an illithid can do” bitch you did nothing first of all, secondly I can become a baby illithid and show your ass what’s up in two seconds
I love him but come on he’s not that helpful in combat comparatively, let him be as cool as the baby illithids
#like shouldn’t he be???#unless it’s specifically the astral tadpole but like#idk the actual npc default mind flayer mechanics but even they feel stronger#or at least there was something they did more often than he does#but if you need an illithid with you#shouldn’t the illithid options be kinda similar#he was fun the first time#now I’m just disappointed when I use him#even tho he’s my favorite to have story-wise#man finally gets out of the prism and forgets how to function I guess#anyway#rambles#bg3 the emperor#bg3 spoilers#kinda i guess#technically

really loving wuwa so far, it still lags a bit here and there but it kinda feels like it just has to marinate for a while? first 10 minutes are painful but after it seems like it has its assets cached or something and it isn't as much a problem anymore. it also looks like kuro games has been working overtime putting in patch fixes asfdjlkadfsj god speed to the devs fr
#0.txt#i'm all about combat gameplay and exploration so i'm having LOADS of fun on that front#i don't really have any opinions on the story yet tbh. its not bad but it's not amazing but i never have high expectations for#early game story to begin with. or gacha games in general tbh ajkladsf#i DO really like the world building in the sense of everything being made up of frequencies. it helps tie a lot of the lore together imo#my only thing is like. honestly if i didn't know who the fuck i was or where the fuck i was why would i go on this puzzle hunt for#some magistrate who i haven't even met in person. but whatever ig lol#character wise i'm running sanhua / yangyang / mortefi#sanhua is the fave here i love the charged attack mechanic where you have to release at the right moment#yangyang's cc is really useful and mortefi is also just fun lol#from trials i REALLY like using jiyan and lingyang so i hope i pull them eventually. still need to try out others though too#in general i definitely prefer the melee characters waaay more than others. i haven't liked a single rectifier yet ajskdlaf#(i got encore off the beginner banner)#my only gripe with the combat is that the range definitely feels a bit small like if you're a little too far away you won't hit the enemy#i'm eager to actually figure out proper playstyles though. i do actually like that effectively just button mashing also works#but it's also super satisfying understanding a character's exact gameplay mechanics#i have not even looked at character building though that is a whatever until it suddenly clicks fadkflaf

kami for scale but this is probably my favorite mtg card ever im sorry ashiok but youu will never beat consuming aberration winning the game with at least 50/50 on account of all the spells i cast
#just a clean one shot . my most memorable game playing w my brother im sure he hates that card#ashiok is my favorite lore/story-wise. consuming aberration is my favorite game/mechanics-wise. its a good card.#angel.txt#mtg

today I am thinking about judge eyes fights in the lost judgement engine. tomorrow; the same.
#judge eyes is by far the better game story wise as much as i adore lj#but lj is just. so fucking fun to play with the trailing and the parkour and just how the fights operate#viper style or whatever was a godsent + the faster and snappier movement just made every fight a joy#and if judge eyes had fighting mechanics + some of ljs other add ons i feel like it would be a perfect game#but i love both in their own right#judge eyes did fundamentally change my brain patterns however. Not to say lj isnt the same#its just a little weaker story wise with how yagami-centric it is#anyway this all stems from me imagining the kuroiwa fights in lj engine. heart#yeah im still hung up on rhat cunt.#ayabe too i wish he came back in lj#oh mannn hang on i should draw kuroiwa maybe..hmmmmm#thinking. pondering. wondering

i have been hard at work friends o>
#blabla#have not written her story sadly but i spent a lot of time figuring out how she'd work game mechanics wise#also the picture is just straight from Alter Ego#also obviously everything isnt set in stone. like i randomly thought up the name i didnt stop too much to think of a better one

You're more amazing than spellcasting
I just got a big ol' bag of KitKats today as a gift from my mom fuck yeah I'm gonna make magic cards about it
Also I don't remember why but the idea of a saga creature got put into my head so while I was making KitKat cards I also made this
#asks#custom cards#is the professor balanced? i have no idea#the only comparable creature is that one from AWBO that starts with 4 oil counters and dies when it runs out#but you're supposed to prolong that one with proliferate#numbers wise this card is bonkers#you get a 4/4 haste a 3/2 and an Inspired Charge for just 4 mana#but it's given out really slowly and you lose the big creature after 2 turns#so i have NO IDEA how strong this card is#i think it's somewhere between good and broken#so you know. an average rare card#a creature that automatically kills itself isn't very appealing so i don't expect saga creatures to become a set mechanic#not in standard at least#just like how Urza's Saga was printed in a supplemental set#anyway i came up with the lorehold idea almost instantly when i started making the card#i was writing the typeline “Enchantment Creature Saga... huh. what creature type could be a living story? spirit maybe? OH!”#lol i don't even care that much for strixhaven or lorehold but the flavor feels kinda perfect#a spirit called from the past to relive their history#not legendary because there were lots of professors that lorehold staff and students remember as “the finest professor”#it's not really an objective thing lol#though a saga commander would be really neat#like that “Origin story” mechanic from last week's inventor's fair#not even as a saga creature or in addition to a creature i think just a saga commander would be really neat#anyway i'm going back and forth on whether the professor should have vigilance or first strike#first strike would make it able to attack without fear of getting multi-blocked and killed#but that might be too strong#actually how good is a 4-drop 4/4 haste?#checking gatherer: pretty good apparently#but a 4-drop 4/4 haste that dies in 2 turns? hmm#but if your opponent doesn't kill it early then it gives you tons of value

This post feels unnecessarily mean tbh like why r u so angry about indie horror games. What's wrong man
#i see posts like this a lot and they make me sad#yeah garten of banban is a little silly but the puzzles are neat and the drone mechanic is novel and fun!!#sure poppy playtime was practically built to sell creepycute toys but the wiring puzzles are neat and the story is cool#fnaf is a mess story wise and sometimes it does feel like kind of a cash grab at times but fnaf is prolific esp for the indie horror scene#like man idk maybe just chill out and have fun with it? you sound like those snooty art people who just want to feel superior to others#without acrually engaging with the art in a meaningful way#just bc you dont like it doesnt mean theyre bad

happy for all the ff11 fans who are getting stuff they love in ff14's new raid but I'm over here preparing to suffer through an ivalice tier story line again
#words spoken to an empty sky#I like the ivalice raids mechanically#Mostly#Fuck Ultima that fight sucks#But the story was so dull and painful and I hated it#I'm expecting to have to suffer again#Would love to be pleasantly surprised!#And really this is just what FFXIV the theme park mmo does#Reference things I have no clue even existed because I have zero media knowledge#God even the nier raids were bad story wise#And I had played and liked automata

Not me rereading my own fanfics and getting obsessed again with kingdoms of amalur. psh no. that's that dude over there. *pointing away, no ones there and when you look back i tripped over my own feet trying to run away*
#wizardboops#anyways im gonna be vibrating over here don't mind me#Like. there are so many ups and downs about koa. Story wise.#we're ignoring the mechanic wrongs and the whole buying it dlc drama stuff.#It's a whole game about defying fate#changing it saving others from it ruining their lives from it. And yet. it's also a game where some fates can't change.#I'm admittedly a 'everybody lives!' type when it comes down to it. But I also wish that there sometimes was more of a choice on it.#Some people you HAVE to save (or they can't die at all). Others you HAVE to kill. Understandable game wise on both#yeah you need the pc's friend's alive for story and game and yeah killing the final boss is the game. But others#particularly noticable in 'villain' fae are put in a you-have-to-kill situation. Bloody Bones. Nix the troll who wants to be human.#Sir Elswin (though admittedly he's more fooled and less villain)#There are many you can choose for. But it seems almost strange that the ones emphasized as villains (excluding the woman who you're usually#able to save. see the widow and lady windemere) are just. trapped in eternal punishment cycles until you come along to kill them to#“free” them. Idk I'm biast I like both bloody bones and lady windemere. even if bloody bones' lightning bolt cheeks are silly.

going to fall for the poster's folly and put my inside thoughts outside on the internet but if u really think y3 needs the kiwami treatment i think you need to git, and i cannot stress this enough, gud
#batty babbles#the remaster is only like 5 years old. im sorry your gameplay standards are so unreasonably high#that shit dont need remade yet. its still playable.#yk1 deadass plays Worse than 3 remaster imo#anything the kiwami treatment could add graphically or story-wise would be barely worth it#the game's story and graphic remaster hold up fine.#like i see people basically only ever citing that the gameplay is bad. and yeah thats true its got some jank#that is also true of LITERALLY half the franchise. if u dont like it i think you just dont like most yakuza games.#for their gameplay at least#and its ridiculous to hold this expectation for a stream of facelifts and remakes for games that are literally fine. just kind of aged.#if you really cant stand games that may have mechanical flaws from being made in the 2000s-2010s maybe just dont play those games maybe#im a bitter y3 defender at my core wotever

ds1 humanity was such a cool system i wish it got iterated on properly. lots of different uses, scarce but not oppressively so, and it isn't just a generic buff like embers or arcs
ok MAYBE i just like feeding the spider lady humanity but you dont understand she is my friend shut up
#ds1!chaos is just really cool all around#balance wise like the rest of the game it's goofy nonsense but#idk i just think the chaos flame being mechanically and demonstrably better and fundamentally different is cool gameplay story integration

I was just reminded of the fact that I completely skipped One Piece Red because i had a very bad feeling about it which turned out indeed as i feared when i finally gave it a try.
I had to witness an annoying twisted idol singing for two hours of movie and could not take it for even a moment.
Literally in the end when she sings half-dead i thought "YOU'RE STILL GOING, BREATHE BITCH YOU'RE DYING SAVE IT-"
I cannot say how much I was glad that it was over.
#i was not made for musicals#but i had to see it for myself#damn how glad i was she died#i think it was one of the worst movie ever#and not just for her singing#story-wise it was a disgrace#i watched some fillers who had much more thought out plot#i miss the time where they made those silly and ignorant movies for one piece#the first 9 were beautiful#i still remember to heart the mechanical island one#and the one where they go to the animal island#i think i laughed so hard when luffy threw those horns in the wrong directions#too much drama lately#gimmie back the humor and comedic lightness of the first movies#momochats
