just pulled Raiden at 30 pity!
#key speaks#my luck has been insane these past 2 banners#i got up to 70 pity and then got Jean on Wanderers banner#but THEN#i got Wanderer at 20 pity and raiden immediately after at 30#the weird thing is:#i absolutely hate raiden#she's a horrible archon and should never have been in charge of anything let alone an entire county#and her grief was no excuse to get so many of HER OWN PEOPLE killed#every time i think about her in the context of the inzuman archon quest i get mad#i personally just really hate her as a character#buuuut#play style wise...#she'd be a really good support for Yanfei (my beloved main <3)#and i want to have at least one electro character fully built#for spiral abyss reasons#so i pulled for her#and now have her#somewhat unfortunately?#somewhat fortunately#i have many conflicting feelings

if i had a nickel for every time i played a remedy game that featured courtney hope’s character trying to get to a world-altering polyhedron in a universe where humans wear special harnesses to survive a world-ending threat, i’d have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's sure weird that it's happened twice
flipped version & process beneath the cut!
beth deserved so much better...please quantum break sequel where she's happy :) please remedy...the IP is worth it i promise I'LL fucking come back for her
#two sides of the same coin...#anyway i played quantum break!!#it's been in my library forever lol#i def see how they built off of it mechanically to make control#overall clunkier and more awkward but everything i found annoying they basically directly improved upon in in control#but i think the appeal story wise is totally different obviously#qb story was really cool but i wish there was more discussion online so i could read about the LORE ougughh#art tag#quantum break#control#control remedy#jesse faden#beth wilder#control 2019#control game#remedy control#i dont really think this is super my normal art style but was cool to experiment!

i think gamers dismissed the notion of keeping score in non-arcadey titles too easily i think. some games are a lot funner if you try to play them with score in mind
#like how do you get a high score in the classic sonic games?#get a lot of rings. keep them to the end of the level. and beat it fast as fuck for a good time bonus#that's a fun way to play the game!!!!#honestly the special stages in sonic 1 feel like they play into encouraging that too#keep enough rings and you get to play a little bonus stage at the end of the level. to get a little doodad#that only really serves to increase your score#and also give you a nicer ending cutscene#sonic 2 giving you an opportunity to play the bonus stages at every checkpoint is nice in theory#gives you more chances to do it per level#still rewards you for keeping your rings#but then after you leave the special stage all your rings are gone D:#and also it's much more of a pace breaker to do it in the middle of a level rather than inbetween...#still i understand it in theory#then sonic 3 made it so you don't *have* to keep your rings. you just have to find a giant ring#which makes sense for that game's more exploration focused level design and play style#y'know since it introduced knuckles and everything#lot to think about game design-wise :>

season 1 louis telling his family he dipped from the opera cause he was bored and got hungry & then lestat afterwards calling him on acting like he didn't enjoy the opera when he very much did; season 2 louis telling armand he doesn't want to come to the theatre because he had enough of that back in the states... 35 years and still lying about the theatre to hide how much he loves lestat huh
#interview with the vampire#iwtv meta#louis de pointe du lac#louis/lestat#loustat#also. how different the theatre des vampires is from opera. 'the plays were weird.' he fell asleep while santiago was hamming it up#but at the opera lestat says he was rapt. try all you want louis you are not beating the pretentious intellectual bitch allegations#and it's funny bc tdv's style & structure clearly emerged more directly from commedia; bc that's what lestat was doing at the time#lestat has & would have a taste for both! 'this ain't your kind of music' but lestat gets up and (allegedly) improvs with jelly roll#sam saying he always views playing lestat as a form of clowning#lestat who loves All Theatre indiscriminately (he and armand are ideologically different but personality-wise maybe way too much alike)#but louis' attraction to opera specifically. this High Art (white art) this elite (white) space he is excluded from. I just have Thoughts

Y'all, a new Monster High game is in the works!!! Coming out this year!!!
This is the same studio that made Bratz: Flaunt your Fashion and Rainbow High: Runway Rush!
(Image Description" A screenshot of an Instagram post from the Outright Games account announcing the release of three new games in partnership with Mattel. The photo shows the Outright Games Logo beside the Mattel logo over a purple background. Beneath them are the titles of three upcoming games, "Barbie: Project Friendship, Monster High: Skulltimate Secrets, and MatchBox Driving Adventures. The caption reads "We are working with @mattel in a multi-year partnership, transforming some of their most beloved IPs into video games! In 2024 we will be bringing three brand-new games:
💖 Barbie Project Friendship™ 🧟♀️Monster High™: Skulltimate Secrets™ 🏎 Matchbox™ Driving Adventures.
Stay tuned for more information coming soon!" End ID)
#monster high#monster high gen 3#im so curious what style they're gonna use!!#the show style or the style from the music videos?#ive played through most of the bratz game#its not nearly as good as the old ones but its still really cute and had great voice acting#price wise it was originally expensive#it was initially $40 then went down to $30#then they had a wicked sale on steam and I got it for around $10 plus all the extra dlc (which was just outfit packs)#im pretty hype tho

"The supposedly sealed memories of a miniature garden"
#dgm#d.gray-man#alma karma#kanda yuu#okay im going to word vomit my concept abt this apologies in advance#anyw ik Wisely gives the opportunity to mind-read/access memories like we see in the 3rd exorcist arc#but i think Road wldve been another interesting choice. i rlly like the concept of dream n its used a lot in that arc#we see a lot fo Kanda's original life within his dreams and illusions which is Road's specialty#just like constructing this false reality idk I've talked abt the idea of Kanda being put to sleep many times before but never properly#inspection style like idk maybe they still look like kids running in this like. perfect place that illusion of the word that Alma read abou#Allen waddling through a lake's worth of lotus with Road instead of the labs!#idk...........some parts are so deep he falls in and those r pockets of memories u know bc i still want that#and the deeper and closer he gets the water gets murky and red#u know bc im cool and love cheesy symbolism#I want Allen to bargain with Alma and Alma to just be like. sweet and charming and laugh it off until Allen gets to the root of the problem#WAIT U KNOW IN LIKE SAILOR MOON WHEN THE SCOUTS DIE (that is not a spoiler i promise) and they're wrapped in thorns?#I wanna draw that w Kanda....deep under the water#but he has to want to wake up from that dream. I'm playing off the fact that Allen had to punch him to snap him outta it#anyway....im done its okay

"careful, or i'll quote that"
#adamandi#was going to be normal but then this scene popped into my head and played on loop and like#guys this scene just makes me Miserable. they're so friends now they're so happy and funny and then later in the show#she manipulates him and he tries to kill her and like. my god beatrix vincent friendship. omg.#im so. it kills me. i realise these arent the most accurate character styles but i Had to get it out. oh my god. literally the other day i#i was like ''oh haha im not going to directly draw scenes from the show im going to be Thinky and Extra'' but no actually sometimes the#the scenes from the show just hit. this line the delivery the Situations it kills me. im so hnnghghf about them#something also maybe about rewatching media knowing the whole plot and the extra Tragedy it all brings also. like to know the ending will#break your heart (but be also some sort of stunning catharsis) and to watch it all!!! again!!!! aaagh.#fun facts about the first time i watched adamandi proper after looking through the tumblrs and half-spoiling it for myself.. i went in with#the strangest assumptions of portia dies/ vincent makes a virus that kills the other nominees instead of actually stabby stabby and the#new invented biological thing would make him the winner a-la frankenstein style //. quincy cuts off his hand????? i am not sure where any#of these came from T-T but im glad i was wrong on literally every count.#miscellaneous brainrots from re-watching.. in the very very start i think vincent is wearing a mask in word to the wise?? like it was probs#a covid safety thing but it makes me go teehee for some reason. like the whole infectious thing was foreshadowed LMAO (approx 35 seconds in#also the balloons. and the admin. and the balloons. the way it's horrific and the balloons gently rain down#and you can see them bounce in the stunned silence. ooo that little detail. what a moment.#also at this point? i have been noticing the little inconsistencies in actions btwn shots but a) they're not seeable unless you're looking#Closely like i was for specific moments as references.. and b) it makes u think about the inconsistency of theatre as a medium and how nth#is ever delivered the same two ways which is really just !!!! to me. smth smth so so many ways to intepret characters and how everything is#always in flux every single cycle. theatre medium my beloved.#last side note from now: i am so abnormal about the marmorius society members who were phaethon nominees in their own right and instead#perished helping ambrose with HIS project. like. that is some sort of love there isn't it? like???? yes they're all bullies and awful but.#i've been reaching tag limit really quickly with all the recent posts. rambles i guess. so so many thoughts. well actual tags now i guess!#vincent aurelius lin#beatrix valeria campbell

Something about the way Spinel, Friede and Liko's first Pokemon all share (or will share) the Dark type under certain circumstances (Spinel's Blacky being Dark type, Friede's Lizardon becoming Dark type upon Terastalization, and Liko's Nyarote will eventually gain the Dark type if it evolves into Masquernya). And how all three of them craft strategies around diversions, creating distractions, observations and running away.
Also thinking about how Spinel's Orbem is a Psychic type, similarly to Liko's Tebrim. Psychic moves being used to restrain or limit movements, or stop opponent's moves and use them against them. (Liko's Tebrim using her Mind Power during the battle against Grusha to stop her opponent's Icicle Spears and send them right back at it really reminded me of Spinel using his Orbem's Psychic moves to restrain Friede's Lizardon's movements back in HZ014.)
#liko#friede#spinel#character notes#i am having thoughts about this. and how all three of them have this cunning side to them in their respective styles#which is super interesting for main characters to have in the case of liko and friede#also thinking about the additional similarities between spinel and liko in that their main partners are cats(?? is blacky a cat ww)#i really wonder if spinel and liko will interact next ep because i find their strange similarities in terms of styles kinda fascinating#given that they couldn't be more different personality wise#i love that liko has a psychic type because the style that comes with such a type isn't necessarily one you'd expect from a protag etc#restraining movements or using your opponent's moves against them#(which is what spinel did against friede in ep 44 since blacky has foul play and that moves uses the opponent's strength against them etc)#i remember being blown away when horizons started airing#and that in the first eps liko was already 'i don't have to defeat them!' and used nyahoja's leafage to create a distraction and escape#(that was against zir and conia btw)#also the way friede left as soon as liko was okay at the end of ep 3#and how he didn't finish his battle against amethio because that wasn't a priority#i was like wow. the main characters are escaping because it's the logical thing to do?#and there is no moral value ascribed to running away?#i thought that was great ww#either way very interesting how all three of them (liko friede and spinel) have this trickster side to them#and it manifests differently etc

A hero is only as good as his weapons, so make ‘em count (Patreon)
#Doodles#Original#Another idea smol and I are working on together :D Been a bit!#She came up with the concept on this one and I fell in love with it <3 She's very cool hehe#If you're familiar with the game Minit it has Something of a similar premise - not the same strict time pressure but yes on the time loop#Y'ever notice how in some games it seems like the wandering trader or traveling shop seems to come upon you rather than the other way around#:3c Hm ♪ Wonder how they'd know where you were gonna be :3c#The crux is that you play as the weapons shop owner and you're responsible for supplying the hero and his team with weapons!#Except the BBEG has gotten wise to how the hero keeps defeating him and it sick of it - so the shop owner is cursed to be in a time loop!#I love the concept <3 It sounds so fun to play in and there's still plenty of room to think about the mechanics and how it would be played#As well as the art design! :D#We threw around some character concepts - she's really into Baldur's Gate 3 at the moment so of course they had some influence in hers hehe#Only got the starting party for the moment but there are plans for a full team of 4 plus the shopkeep >:3c And various other NPCs lol#A lot of the gameplay would basically boil down to being a bartering simulator hehe ♪#Very RPG trade-this-for-that style quests - under a time limit! Hehe#Since it's the type of game that pretty much requires replaying sections time-loop-style it's all about how quickly you can trial and error#And then hightail it to where you need to be lol#I think we were also tossing around a nap mechanic to skip right to the time loop reset in case you mess up a run haha#I gotta get back to Majora's Mask at some point I swear#We still have a good bit of concept work to do on the art side of things - she's also been really into pixel art lately and I love pixel art#I also managed to pick up a full release of one of the RPGMakers :D So that's an exciting possibility!#I haven't learned most of its ins and outs yet but I do know About importing custom assets at the very least >:3c#Same with Novelty and I haven't done that yet either lol - all in due time! I hope!!

sorry i'm gonna whine on combat some more (acknowledgment that this is a me thing) also assuming based on this that we won't be able to control companion actions during fights? like. for the new type of combat does it make sense to only/mostly rely on NPC AI for fighting and hopefully that does help me if i SUCK ASS at combat but. :( i liked the prev games' combat mostly because i could usually auto-hit in some fashion it was just a matter of me being strategic about technique and insta-pausing to reassess/move out the way
there is at least some combat pausing for rook and i'll def reserve final judgment till i play i just. what if we made video games for people like me who like story but are bad at gaming :((((
#dragon age veilguard spoilers#ari watches dav reveal#it's def more me-esque and like. i think ME is interesting and i still want to finish andromeda but WEEPING its so not my combat style.#i finished all of me1 and kinda gave up on me2. sci-fi has to hit me Just Right story-wise or i won't engage w it otherwise#and struggling w combat was not fun for me.#but again! this is a me thing. i am an outlier who couldn't get past tutorial for ps4 spiderman when i tried playing it lmao

What... do people use tetrapod mechs for? The floating is cool, but it feels like a lot higher skill floor to properly utilize than say, my usual legs? It's not as darty so melee feels worse, etc :(
#Ac6#Yes I'm doing another playthrough#Ultralight but with tetrapod#Using gattling + songbirds but like#It's ok? Not great#And that weapon combo feels GLORIOUS in even heavy mechs!#(reverse joints my beloved)#Idk I know I'm not playing it right play style wise#It just doesn't feel fluid I guess

looks like between Shattered Dimensions and Splat3 (+dlc's), my mom is most likely gonna get Shattered Dimensions due to it being WAY cheaper overall.
I'm excited :>
I'm gonna suck so bad at the game, I just know it. But I wanna play it for my maaaannnn, Mysteriooooo!!
#ghostie mumbles#my first and only spidey game..#I wonder if it matters that the only real wii games I've played were snipperclips. super paper mario. some HE games--#--and I still have NOT beat or gotten far in the Mario Bros wii game it came with.#how different is the play style gonna be control wise compared to those games??#I'm gonna find out eventually

like i wouldnt mind like. Not having new linear games post 5 its judt that sims 4 wasnt even supposed to Be The Sims 4 it was a last minute pivot and the base code is so outdated and was broken On launch so like. i just wish we could have the final actual sims game be like. one that was always intented to be a major sims release AND be intended to be so long term . yk
#i dont even want like. Ooh major graphical updates whatever if sims 5 was announced and they looked photorealizstic id hurl i wouldnt play#it#my ideal would ig be sims 4 with a touch more realism style wise. if this makes sense#like its a bittt too cartoony for me but i like the like. Clay hair or whatever SJFNFJ. and i think having it be simple in basegame means#you can customize it easier + itd run better on more pcs#so im fine eith that. i would nottt want it more cartoony#i also like. I understand the sims is like. an all ages game i do sometimes wish that the animations in 4 were a bit toned down#like i dont mind silly goofy wacky stuff i think its fun and like. The sims has always been a bit sillay yk. but the overexaggerated#animations r sometimes like -_-.... to me. but thats personal preference#IDK. the tags that show up when i type idk r so funny. do i ever know anything. sources say no#BUT ya i just rly wish like. if this is what they wanna do i wish theyd give us One more full game give it lots of time and love and rly rly#focus on having it excel at like. being this partnof the sims#since they wanna have like. Other sims games that have online features and multiplayer and everything. they could use that to make sure that#ts5 was Rly solid as a foundation and as like. ykwim..... they could plan updates for the future And dlc or whatever and i just think itd be#a better move than trying to make sims 4 happen#bc i judt dont think With all the updates in the world. sims 4 wont ever be like. what it couldve been. yk. i just dont think you can make#it work without Fullllyyyy just starting over.#and at this point with like..so many modders and stuff and everything and how much dlc there is thatd be impossible Esp if they keep#releasing new stuff which. They will ^_^#idk. im excited for some other lifesim games im keeping my eye out#but i rly do love the sims and i just wish that it could be as good as it could be. It has such a huge budget and team and like. if ea would#stop just trying to make as much money as possible off it i feel like they could make Such an amazing game. not to put down indie gamedevs#at all the games jve been looking at look Incredible like.. yk. but the fact those games are so good eith FAR smaller teams and budgets is#like. imagine what we could have if the sims had that amt of care and time put into it.#but whatever whatever whatever. sorry im just rambling#again ik what i would want from my platonic ideal of a sims game isnt what everyone would eant#but idk. i feel like another good step might be like. making the other sims games more available and updating them so they run better on#modern pcs. but i dont think thatll ever happen DNDNFJFNFN.

visual representation of my mental state for the past few days
#this game has deeply infected my brain#(it's also really inspired me art wise i've been having a lot of fun with experimenting w/ my style a bit)#well my desperation for more dg content finally pushed me into getting secrets of the swamp so i'm gonna try playing that tomorrow#for now i'm just gonna chill before bed and work out fancase details in my brain#mj.txt

realizing I'm very sensitive to pacing, actually
#thoughts#I think it's why I love OoT to that degree the pacing is just wildly on point you're never really dragging your feet#and also why I loved ALBW --pacing is great the game takes the perfect amount of time#wind waker starts STRONG pacing-wise it just jumps at you with everything it has to offer at its best...#...and then kind of loses that steam a little bit imo#tp is kind of the opposite to me the beginning is... sure a beginning!!#I don't mind slow burns but a good quarter of it if not a third should have been cut or condensed I think#but then I think things pick up quite a lot after the first dungeons and settle in a nice rythm#skyward sword has a weird pacing. haven't finished it yet and it's partially because the game loops stales itself a lot imo#majora's rythm is really interesting --but not always perfect I think especially in the first days#alttp's pace is pretty good too honestly! so is link's awakening same style for unexplainable reasons#can't remember enough about oracles and seasons to assess#zelda 1 is zelda 1#zelda 2 I haven't played#phantom hourglass does drag but it's not too bad in some areas#spirit tracks I haven't played#minish cap's pacing is also pretty good#botw has amazing initial pacing that loses steam but understand its own rythm so it's fine#and totk has a great immediate game loop rythm and imo horrendous pacing otherwise that doesn't value its tension#anyway!! sorry you got a tag-post about my thoughts on zelda games and pacing!!!
