Welcome to this little gun range I just made a couple of minutes ago.

Here's some safety glasses and gloves to get you started.

(He hands over the safety glasses and the gloves to you)

Now when you're done putting them on, I want to see you put this magazine into the rifle. Don't be too quick and don't be too slow. You WILL make mistakes sometimes and that's okay. That's why we're practicing.

[To mod: Don't worry I like COD too. I understand you bro]

(They put on the glasses, gloves, and step up to the range.)

"So, just like this?"

(They slide the magazine into the magazine well of the rifle, albeit after misaligning them at first.)

#thank god someone gets it #gamer in the 'i do the gun animations to stim'#or 'i listen to reload animations like asmr' kinda way #not the other kind of gamer #ask the little poet #ask the poet #cotl ask blog #ask blog #cult of the lamb au #cult of the lamb

so ... that stupid totk masterworks book has been out for a while hasnt it?

does anyone know if its possible to find a version somewhere you dont have to pay for? (especially the german version) so i can avoid that at all costs of course, i definitely totally plan to spend money on it

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #i know i asked this before but?#doesnt hurt to ask again #especially since it has been a while #idk if its been out everywhere but i havent heard anythign of it in a while #to be clear i dont want it bc i like it- if i liked it i would pay for it #its just so i can make my full rant be truly fully complete #i have been holding back writing on it bc i dont want to write pages full of stuff only for it to be completely changed by the book #....yeah one of my goals before the end of the year is to get that at least properly started #the other is to get at least one update for chapter two of destiny out #i am so torn between working on different projects #like i also feel like i can only do the rant if i got my rewrite fully done with all the concepts in presentable condition etc #which ... is just ... kind stupid to do but i feel like if i dont put as much effort into it as possible its gonne be dismissed-#-if i brough it up in the rant at the end like i planned #to present a fully reworked version and everything that might convince people i do got at least a lil bit of a feeling for that stuff #and its not just whatever unrealistic dream gamer game tm or something #though its also not what i wanted or expected- its just what id do #.. anyway ... totk rants been haunting me again

you're so abnormal about the boys and me too and i feel like i never see abnormal yard fans only dude bros but you're so fucking real about it and i feel seen

legend how have you made it to yard tumblr and not gotten used to abnormal fans. take a look around the room

#ok i’m not being mean i promise lol. i assume you’re just someone who’s more familiar with the yard discord/reddit #where it’s a lot of mid 20s fps gamer dudes who don’t seem very fun to talk to.#i love when my videos are people’s introduction to treating the yard like a traditional fandom!#i was talking with this guy who’s in my classes and is a yard fan (i saw him in the merch and wanted to befriend him) and #we both have the experience that it’s kind of shameful telling people that a piece of media you really like is a podcast #because podcasts are so associated with self-help dudebro-ism.#so i really enjoy making (and seeing other people make) fan content for the yard the way that you would for anything else.#there’s such an obvious tone that people take on when they’re trying to avoid looking like a fan #and i find it extremely lame. in the same way that people act lame in the yard reddit because they think it’s what slime would want.#ok anyways done yapping #if i’m ever anything other than real you have permission to kill me 💯#the yard #ask

i love my new (kind of, it’s a year old at this point) cd player because i can access secret tracks on some CDs! this is they might be giants’ factory showroom, and it has this neat little secret track (token back to brooklyn) that you can get by rewinding a little less than one minute before the first track.

i love little easter eggs in physical music like this, i wish things like it were on more albums (even if it makes ripping this album into MP3s a lot harder. lmao)

#brainwaves #analog #sort of. hey gamers real life harley here #im very normal about tmbg #tmbg #tmbgareok #idc if this is kind of an open secret at this point #it’s fun and i wanted to share bc i haven’t seen ppl talking about it anywhere other than tmbw

inspired by tina drawing foolish with boobs on her stream the other day, heres some (kinda messy but i'm ignoring it) sketches of genderbent foolish (+ a little tina and karl). her name is noelle :]

#also karl is karla obviously but i have No Idea what boy tina's name would be. like best i can think of is tim but thats just not her vibe #his vibe? whatever #i wouldnt normally post smthn this unfinished but i dont think im gonna finish any of these and i still wanna put the idea out there so #woe sketches with kind of wonky anatomy be upon ye #foolish gamers #im not gonna bother with any other tags for this lmao #my art #ok im just yappin in the tags now but right before i went to post this i remembered a thing tina did on stream where she duplicated her #lineart and then gaussian blurred it and did some lighter airbrushing behind it and goddamn that looks so much nicer than just the lines #by themselves. thank u tina for doing that im stealing that technique now if i ever wanna post sketches like this again lmao

Your swsh art always makes me want to replay the game because i love it and its my favorite pokemon game and every time i play another pokemon game i think of it how i miss certain elements from swsh. Then i boot up the game and im once again caught in the 1 hour 40 minutes hand held intro and im like ah- now i remember why i have been playing other pokemon games instead of this one. Happy (late?) birthday!

you don't want to listen to hop? you don't want to hear him teach you about type matchups? you don't wanna let him cheer u on...? 🥺 waa....?

#ask #bakuspeech #I am joking to be clear lmao #thank u happy bday to me !!#tbh I got real used to pokemon overexpositioning since sumo lol. it's kind of a boon for me #cause I'm not a Gamer™ and my brain takes stuff on Very slowly #so the tutorial stuff and the cutscenes give me time to catch up. also it's still fun to see these guys run around #I am in fact here for these guys lol. weird thing to say about the game built on and with an essential focus on the pokemon I know #I just like humans! I just like watching hop running circles around my player character all excited #and leon being a dick to his hometown people when they're expecting 'leon' back and they get the champion instead #and you get to see sonia used to dealing with it but the frustration never fully fades and how close she is to hop and that picture's bleak #listen this is my bread&butter lol. leon really doesn't show up That much himself around the game he's a shadow casted over the story #it's always interesting to me! does Not mean it's not sluggish to other people who want to play the game lmao #but I like it. also the tutorial at least the first time around was necessary to me bc the difficulty scales way up later on lol #it's a very good first pokemon game I maintain this. sumo never managed to teach me the same way swsh did #I still care drampa tho thank u drampa for being real I love u #lmao it feels like saying I'm not a Gamer™ violates some tenets of having adhd somehow. but its just the case here #the main genres I play are 'itch games tangential to the haunted ps1 people' and 'popcap-style casual games'#my sport's figuring out shapes n movin my stylus sadly. well not sadly why would that be sad

continuing my saga of being very behind on the qsmp. here's a clip that's had my jaw dropped for the last two minutes

twitch_clip

#mcyt #qsmp #foolish gamers #twitch clips #badboyhalo #qsmpshipping #foolhalo #I'm just kind of reeling. what. What #like this is nothing. meaningless and nothing and there's so many other things I could have clipped over the months #I am regardless speechless

Letting go of obligations and enjoying a few days of dedicated media indulgence is certainly paying off when it comes to keeping my sanity from breaking apart.

#played some titanfall 2 with a relatively new crew of buddies #not exactly a fandom space per say‚ but it was pretty fun I can't deny #speaking of it can one‚ in this day and age‚ find a chill titanfall discord server that's an actual fandom space #best I could find is a RP server that's kind of the real thing? others were either graveyards or groups of mindless gamer sweats #em yaps

oh yeah the difference where all mordecai's pieces are still on his half of the board, and viktor foraying across that halfway point already....plus the just like expressive differences where viktor is probably just passing the time hanging out while mordecai is taking chess completely seriously in the 90th dimension

all i know about chess is where the pieces go and how they move and maybe a few bonus ideas, but that's it and i never learned to be good at it or anything so it's like, you never know when anyone with more knowledge would be like "yes that's unmistakably the configuration of a reverse forager's shimmy" or something

#playing chess; like bootlegging or murder; is about having fun and being yourself #which i do imagine they're both doing here #not like mordecai seems to have any problem going on the offensive when it comes to [fray at the lodge; more a proper slaughter] afterwards #but that doesn't mean that a) he's more defensive / discretionary / just less Chaotic than others with it or b) that his approach to his #hitman role is the same as his approach to his chessplaying #and viktor gets to just kind of hang out and not be that pressed about it. while mordecai being pressed abt it doesn't mean torment or lack #of enrichment; more the opposite lol. Engaged #lackadaisy #real gamers know (i really don't though)

Not very fond of people like waving off testament’s gender as just a Gear Thing but well at least it becomes funny when people apply it to gears as a whole. Like yeah i can agree with that. It has nothing to do with being a gear tho theyre all just transgender

#okay ill talk about it seriously down here #it does feel like the original intent behind their androgyny was to kind of Other them from humanity #daisuke saying theyve transcended humanity / talking about their ‘inhuman beauty’#i dont want to call it dehumanizing since theres like. a weird positive (…i guess) angle of them being ‘above’ humanity #thats just kind of a trope though. like nonhuman characters without a human concept of gender or sexuality. yknow #but anyway strive didnt really go back on this. they kinda made it a part of their arc?#i think dev backyard says that theyve ‘lived without the concept of gender’ since being turned into a gear #but theres no disconnect from humanity that goes along with that anymore #i like the implication that reconciling with humanity and more importantly their OWN humanity coincided with their presumable transition!#alright now for the part of this i dont like. its weird to assume the gear conversion had some effect on their body and THATS why theyre nb #i think any implications of that are vague enough to be dismissed #i wouldnt even call them Implications its like. messy (and contradictory!) early 2000s phrasing and a theory about 1 line of dialogue lol #early fandom stuff im aware of but dont know enough to talk about aside. nowadays its just used to like #excuse their androgyny. by gamers who cant just. believe that theyre nonbinary because they want to be. lol #not because of anything that was done to their body against their will. or even more simply because theyre just a gear and are Above gender #literally theyre just nonbinary. isnt that cool. i wish everyone could agree this is cool and end the discussion there.#except for me. i can discuss it all i want forever. because im the understander.#whatever. at least the section of testament’s wiki page theorizing about their genitalia is gone now. kissaroo for whoever took that off.#I NEED TO WRITE UP THAT TIMELINE IM LITERALLY NOT KIDDING WHEN I SAY IM AUTISTIC ABOUT TESTAMENT’S GENDER. CLEARLY #the kat goes meow #gg

i'm pretty sure it was some josh sawyer interview i watched ages ago where he said something about knowing that pentiment 'isn't for everyone' and talked about that framing in general since it's such a niche project, and he was like, well yeah, it's not for everyone. neither is call of duty.

and it truly gave me so much peace lol. like ohhhh. yeah. 'objective' media assessment is nothing to me

#very unlikely i could source this rip as i have watched too many jsawyer interviews and talks. and it was too long ago #also play pentiment 👍#it speaks #it's been weird paying attention to more i guess mainstream gamer perspectives in the lead up to vg launch and remembering that a lot #of people just really do not value the same stuff that i do in games or just like in art at all #obv bg3 is a big mainstream hit but the other two most impactful titles i've played in the last couple years are immortality and pentiment #which are very unique little narrative games with imo a lot of thematic overlap (despite very different execution)#and those for me are like. life changing mind melting pieces of art #both of which really require you to meet the game on its terms. like yeah if you're playing immortality and you aren't choosing to buy into #non linear fmv and kind of tedious detective work and a really abstract narrative that you have to piece together yourself #then you're gonna go wtf is this lol #those games are the kind of thing that a lot of 'gamers' will play and go oh that's not a game #and i would say that they're wrong and the interactivity is specifically why they work 👍 but u know.#like on some level you have to make the choice to be invested. the actual execution can only take u so far. idk!!

goodnight gamers!

#ash rambles 💚#it's been a pretty solid day! i didnt do much other than play j.udgment for hours straight tbh #and hey. I'm fine with that #I've had a lot on my mind as of late with just life and everything being pretty nuts so I'm glad to have that escape #i hope everyone is doing good #one day I'll organize this blog more and write some more fanfic also #... one day- i know i've said that time and time before #yawwwnnsss I'm so sleepy.. its about 1am rn so I'm about to snooze. just got to chapter uhhhh 8 of the game 👍🏽#something thats been on my mind a lot as of late is that i spend a lot of time supporting and writing shit for other peoples f/os and ships #which is great. it's awesome. it makes me happy. whenever i write these things there is never a doubt in my mind that the character LOVES #the shipper. when i say theyre soulmates i wholeheartedly mean that from the bottom of my heart. yet it's only when i write my own shit that #i get all insecure about it. especially in the case of my dearest husband since I really do just love him so much. i never do allow myself #that same grace huh? i never let myself be loved despite how i am towards my selfshipper friends #it's just been something that's been on my mind lately and it's something I'm trying to get better at. sometimes it's just hard to believe #that they really do feel the same. I adore these characters so much it makes my heart ache. that kind of love doesnt always come easy #okay now I'm just sleepy rambling #feel free to ignore this LMAAAOO #i am literally half asleep rn #gn gamers! sleep good! or good morning too if that applies #I'm gonna go fantasize about my husband + some y.akuza crushes and knock tf out #goodnighty!

I dont understand the Mules in death stranding. Everything else that i dont understand I feel like I'm not supposed to understand yet or it just doesnt matter that I don't understand it. The Mules genuinely just don't make sense. Why are they hoarding cargo???

#death stranding #if they have an addiction to delivering things. wouldn't they be constantly running around the map??#why would they hoard it... i understand why they would steal but why would they hoard...#theyre some kind of. Gamer metaphor. a metaphor for Gamers so addicted to The Game #that they forget to think about what any of it means and how they treat other Gamers.#i understand the metaphor! i dont understand why they act like they act.
