Happy one year anniversary to In Stars and Time!

#ISAT #in stars and time #siffrin #loop #I truly mean it when I say that this was the best game I have played since Disco Elysium.#It pulls off some of the best examples of Ludonarritive Harmony in a video game...possibly ever?#Not to mention just...wow. What a great story. What a tale of twists and introspection. What a tale about the need for home and connection #I know many of you have trusted me before with media recommendations. Trust me one more time.#Do you want to experience the torment of being in a timeloop? And *still* have fun and feel like your time is being respected?#PLAY IN STARS AND TIME!#Do you yearn for complex characters and love unravelling mysteries? PLAY IN STARS AND TIME!!!!#Please heed the content warnings; I took them a little too lightly on my playthrough! They are there for a reason! Don't be like me!#This game means a lot to me and so many others. On the small chance the dev sees this (they are on tumblr after all):#Thank you so much for all your hard work in creating this game and seeing the project through.#It has been a year for us fans but many years for you. So thank you!#I hope it has been a joyful year for you! Watching as people descend into shrieks of agony from playing your game.#It's good! It made me vomit blood. I had so much fun! I felt like I was torturing the protagonist when I played it. I loved it! I cried.

thanks @chipper-smol for getting me ISAT i will be so irresponsible with the looping

#the real reason why you arent allowed to do this in game is because the dev knew we'd be nowhere close to finish it if we could #too much power and not enough responsibility etc etc. i dont even know if siffrin would want to stop looping once he figures out he can #do this. “stardust do you want to get out of the fucking loop or not stop smothering yourself on the fighters jugs” LMAOOO #i havent played it yet bc im gonna go in blind and stream it on call so 3 other ppl can watch me cry like a weenie in real time #my art #myart #in stars and time #isat #isat isabeau #isat siffrin #isabeau #siffrin #in stars and time fanart #isat fanart #isafrin #shitpost #i am. so fucking sorry

i really don’t think it’s “typical dragon age fandom nonsense” for people to be genuinely upset about the world state choices. combat, level design, art direction, gameplay gimmicks, those have all varied across each dragon age game. the one thing that’s remained constant are nods to our previous choices.

i wasn’t expecting my HoF to come riding in on a griffon, but i can’t find a monument dedicated to warden tabris somewhere around the anderfels? lucanis couldn’t have some lines about the time that one arainai boy was stirring up trouble in antiva city? you’re gonna tell me that making a mage the new divine wouldn’t have some impact on nevarra and antiva? on the anderfels, the supposed most devout militant andrastian nation in thedas? you’re saying nobody in the north is paying attention to who rules orlais or ferelden? come on.

#dragon age #yes i’ve seen john epler’s explanation on only wanting to carry forward choices that they could ‘really do something with.’#and i understand what he’s saying and i’m curious to see how those 3 choices they brought forward will impact the story!!#but i’m still disappointed. and i think telling people why they shouldn’t be disappointed is just gonna make them More disappointed.#also don’t really appreciate dev comments like ‘careful what you wish for with cameos. it just gives us an excuse to find new and horrific #ways to kill your faves teehee 🤭🤭’ like okay???????? what???#alistair came back twice & could be fine both times. loghain’s inquisition cameo was so meaningful because who the hell expected to see him #again? leliana can straight up die in origins and yall brought her back anyways. like what are we doing out here.#also when i think of ‘typical’ nonsense for this fandom it’s people doxxing each other over fictional character opinions. or what #fictional side your fictional inquistor took in the fictional mage-templar war. or just plain old racism.#NOT ‘damn it’s fucking upsetting that this excited replay i’ve been doing of the previous games and all the recommending i’ve been doing #for new fans to play the other games before veilguard has turned out to be pretty fucking pointless.’#might as well tell someone to watch a let’s play of trespasser and that’s it.#11/26 in a hater mood so i’m turning rbs back on lol. go forth & be petty

#slay the princess #I know this is out of nowhere but-#Sorry someone just sent me a crazy take and this is the only way to cope.#Reminder! The devs themselves said that they see all endings as canon!#Do not send authors messages if their fic/interpretation/posts did not align with your canon!#Fun fact! I only became interested in this game *because* the devs said that #So people saying that that interpretation is wrong… kind of rub me the wring way.#So just to confirm:#Saying you interpreted the game's relationship as romantic and healthy: Cool #Saying anyone who interprets the game any other way is wrong: Not Cool #meme

so like. at what point are we going to stop listening to game companies saying "the game was poorly received and didn't meet our sales targets, and that's why we're removing it from storefronts and taking down all the servers mere months or even weeks after release" for titles that had a long expensive development, were barely marketed, and nobody knew they'd even released until after they heard they were getting shut down and couldn't be played/purchased anymore?

I feel like the prevailing takeaway for anyone who doesn't just conclude "yeah, game was pretty mid, makes sense to me" has usually been "this company just has unreasonably impossible sales expectations and treats every project like a failure if it doesn't print a trillion dollars". but these ARE allegedly experienced business execs who aren't complete idiots, and after this most recent debacle with Concord I'm starting to wonder if a bunch of these "games getting wiped out of existence when they underperform instead of just being allowed to persist as they are and maybe improve with time" cases in recent years might be more of a Warner-Discovery type situation, like nuking an entire animated series or film that was worked on for years and preventing it from being sold because it has to be officially unprofitable for the company to use it as a tax write-off. I look at a game that was worked on for 8 years and only made available for 2 weeks, and it's hard not to see the parallels.

great work, AAA games industry, really normal and sustainable stuff you're doing over there as usual

#buny text #concord #was talking with friends about this and there are at least a few other examples of this i think #where a game seems to be deliberately underbudgeted or undermarketed and then shoved out the door and shuttered within months #square enix has had like 3 or 4 of them in the past few years and i feel like redfall might've also been a case of this but it's hard to sa #for the record we had no idea why warner-discovery was doing this stuff with animation until some whistleblowers busted it open #so there's really no way to say for sure what's going on with the AAA games industry rn. just conjecture #but one thing's for sure #whatever they ARE doing is for money and public relations and not at all in the best interests of devs or consumers

The Coffin of TWST

(I’m sorry for my bastardazation of their style- I just thought it was so cute 😭)

Ahhh this has got to be my highest effort spoof- I told myself I’d just draw my faves in the style but no- I present to you coffined Ramshackle

[Ramble]

Okay… but talking more about the actual worldbuilding of TCOAAL? THERE’S MUCH POTENTIAL AS A DYSTOPIA! We got corrupt government, capitalism, cults, and demons! So much to dig into-

If I were to make an actual AU… I think it’d be interesting if it plays out as episode one. The setting of the apartment alone already has enough ideas to work with- Yuu, who was supposed to be visiting, gets quarantined into the apartment as others are convinced they have the parasite. Will the rest of the TWST cast be neighbours or guards? Both would be neat. (Grim’s just an entity a nearby cultist summoned that is demanding Yuu to give him their room for a shelter-)

Homesickness is where the heart is

#my art #tea n ink #favourite scene in the entire game #i have SO MUCH respect for the dev for keeping the missing country a complete mystery #like an event only ever comedically referred to as “the incident”#like a horror movie monster you never fully see #i want to know so badly and i hope im NEVER TOLD #the fact you never find out and both the player and siffrin just gotta DEAL WITH THAT #is infinitely more interesting than anything any writer could say was canon #also can i say?#the importance that someone's religion culture food and language has to literally every other character #makes the fact siffrin cannot have that and cannot get it back HURT SO MUCH #AND AND AND #the fact that all of it is so intuitive and familiar to him that he can ALMOST grasp it but never enough to make it hurt less is just *mwah #ISAT #in stars and time #siffrin #isat siffrin #isat #isat fanart #artists on tumblr #isat tea n ink #isat spoilers

#Sebastian is very violence-tolerant but fortunately he understands why Ida felt like this #at this point Ida finally realized that not only monsters and other mythological creatures are the danger for her #this is how exactly it would happen in my walkthrough if companion mod had been a thing in game #Ida as muggleborn having a tough time in wizarding world definitely #and this is the second time Sebastian actually tried to comfort her somehow #I feel like I draw all the terrible things with absolutely cuddly fluffy style and that's my comedy peak #that location gave me kind of goosebumps ngl #I guess never saw it in my first walkthrough but tiktok just dropped the glass at me and of course I checked if the location is real #devs went hard and I like it daaamn #hogwarts legacy #hogwarts legacy mc #hogwarts legacy oc #ida ullson #sebastian sallow #sebastian sallow x mc

OK, fair warning to the few people I actually managed to convince to try the game??

Rain world does NOT play like hollow knight, and you'll get your butt kicked if you approach it like that.

It's really hard. Like, really hard. Instead of the game literally giving you abilities in the form of power-ups and damage buffs, the only abilities you gain is from what you learn and your own ingenuity. You're a rat from beginning to end. If you just beef your way through it, it's gonna suck and you're gonna be confused and frustrated all the time. But if you pay attention, take it slow, and learn how the ai works and how everything interacts with each other, you can consistently get through and dominate situations you thought were impossible to do so when you first began. Now get out there, kill some lizards, and bully some old computers!
