#no i still havent bought the games

[ladylyra]

kurai and fyren are both wonderful designs!!! do they have lore behind them like the other gijinkas? I wasn't sure if they would since you didn't seem interested in sv. either way, I love them!

If I'm being honest, I'm actually very interested in the substance of the games. The story is probably the best they've put out since gen 5 imo (right after we got out of one of the worst with the last gen lol). I love the characters. Having the three stories split up was something I'd never think to do that ended up benefiting the pace of the game really well by not having any one story either derail or stifle you with its delivery. It's just a shame it got rushed out and released in an unacceptable state :(

ALL THAT ASIDE they have some lore yes.

for fyren, he's a singer and performer from the underworld (the same one that exists in my other stories) but there's not a lot of details about his actual life. he has a very extroverted stage persona but is a lot more mellow in their personal life, which is very jarring for people that try to get close to them; once it's revealed they're not nearly as gregarious, a lot of people usually drop out of the running for their friendship--in the very least, this means that his friends are mostly people who actually appreciate who he is.

he has a small romantic history with souta. i'd consider them similarly mysterious and had a mutual shared interest in sort of 'figuring out' the other. souta's genuinely extroverted and fun-loving, so i think fyren was attracted to all those qualities that they merely emulated on stage. it didn't ultimately work out because fyren's one passion is his music and performing, and someone they'd be involved in would have to share that goal and also not mind being second to it. they would also have to deal with dating a famous-ish person. so, yup, didn't work. they're still friends though :)

kurai comparatively probably doesn't have as much interesting lore, but i always imagined him as some disillusioned college graduate. pursuing a field that relies on a lot of networking and connections didn't serve him well, though, because he's horrible at basically all of that and didn't have the determination to push through his feelings.

he has a very difficult time communicating with others normally, but it's even worse when it comes to his work, because he can get defensive over his artistic vision and hates explaining it to others. he can come off as very defensive because of this--definitely regrets opening his mouth 5 minutes later, so in the end he ends up avoiding others or shutting them down before disaster can happen.

i think he does lots of freelance work but, like i said, very difficult to work with. works a ton of odd jobs to compensate, but permanent employment is a bit more dicey because they usually want him to start dressing and acting differently so, yeah, not happening.

the giant paintbrush is used for a lot of abstract murals. also graffiti sometimes but he's had to slow that a little bc ppl were catching on. some of it negative attention but even the people who thought he was cool he wanted to push away :(

when your main characters start dating after years of writing so they finally get to be like this

[moonsidesong]

[highseraphs]

I'm thinking even after dawntrail comes out I'll just. Lay very, very low. I want to keep this account up but um I'm thinking of just almost completely dissociating with the social/ community aspect of xiv (which ik makes no sense cos it's an MMO) but yeah...like when I say I'm just not into interacting anymore I'm v serious like I'm just being transparent. It doesn't spark joy at all anymore. 😭

//i want to play XV again*

*they will not play XV, the most they will do is reply episode ardyn and maaaaybe episode Gilgamesh and cry about ardyn

[samarecharm]

I know that peach game is like. For kids. Im SO aware of it. But its. So fucking cheap???? This is like the bloatware of nintendo games. What is going on here ???? Not to give nintendo even an ounce of credit…but they generally treat their main characters better than this. And especially after seeing mario wonder, its really obvious how poorly put together and boring this game is. Which is such a shame. Bc Super Princess Peach is right there. Go play that instead.

oh ugh the persona 3 female protagonist would take so much time and money to develop we couldn't possibly do it hurgh blurgh

How Many Fucking Persona 5 Spin Offs Exist

[dandyshucks]

okay so. i am catsitting again (last day of it actually unless they get delayed Again LOL) for the neighbours so I'll have a little more money coming in.... what if.... i use this catsitting money from both times.... to buy pkmn su/mo..... esp since my therapist said i should DBDHDJL

I JUST DONT KNOW WHICH GAME TO GET. I don't think I really have a preference btwn sun and moon, but the main struggle I'm having is deciding btwn the regular games or the "ultra" versions.... because the storyline changes a bit btwn the two guess? maybe I'll just see how much money i end up with at the end of the catsitting, but i think i can probably afford ultra if i decide i want to take the dive on it.... HMMM

also here's the kitty cat :3 I sat outside w him yesterday for like a full hour bc there was another cat (an impawster...) randomly in the yard and I was fascinated by the way the two of them were reacting to each other djdksl cat behaviour is always so interesting to me !! i would've stayed even longer but i had a psychiatrist appt on the phone that i had to skedaddle home for 😔

[danielnelsen]

so does anyone have any info on the dao official guide collector's edition with the whole extra 70 pages of lore? because there are occasional references to it on the wiki with some lore that isnt anywhere else and i cant Not Know Things yknow..

[grimmjow]

Honestly new horizons was such a let down compared to new leaf :/ like sure you can put furniture outside now but also you killed all the aspects of the game that made it fun to keep playing :/

[pallegina]

y'all don't get it I watched my favorite streamer play like the first hour of disco elysium and I could not stop thinking about it for days afterward until I finally just bought it full price (which I NEVER do). game rewired my brain instantly

[captorcorp]

cookie run. those cookie sure are running

[mintbees]

Any games you are looking forward to? Did you like the latest Slimerancher 2 update? Did you ever get into Cult of the Lamb?

im really looking forward to the elden ring DLC and silksong.......god am i still waiting for silksong. havent played much of the new slime rancher 2 updates but i really should! might be something fun to stream.

didnt get into cult of the lamb cuz when it came out even tho everyone was hyped cuz i didnt rlly have the money to buy it. kinda glad about that in retrospect, i dont care much for roguelikes and probably would have bought it and then just played for a few hours before getting bored of it. doesnt look like a bad game at all but wouldve been a waste of money for me

[todayisafridaynight]

this isn't related to rgg at all but finding out you're also a fire emblem fan was great... first the mention of the ike figure then the insane por prices LMAO? i had no idea... what games have you played?

Back In My Day i was known as ‘the eliwood/elihec guy’ and on occasion The Ike Guy LOL but yeah…. Guilty as charged……

As for the games ive played ive played Shadow Dragon (DS remake), Shadows of Valentia, and then FE6-FE3H + FEW (minus Heroes of Light and Shadow)

im an asshole for playing on authentic software hence why i skipped out on FE1-FE5 but maybe one day ill stop being annoying and pick them up on an emulator. Or IntSYS remakes them <- doubtful (well. The rest of the JP-exclusive games anyway lol)
