#player 1 (ooc)

[ratatatastic]

"I gotta have you talk about Barkov a little bit... 'cuz, you know, he's your Captain but like... What should we know that we don't know about this guy? He's so quiet, he keeps a low profile—I'm sure that's by design—but he's the quietest, incredible superstar that...When Chris Pronger was working there (VP of Hockey OPs/Senior Advisor from 2017-2020), I remember he used to say to me, 'Hey, this guy is a Top 5 player in the game.' Even when nobody was even putting him in the Top 10 at that time, you know? But what makes him so great? What do you know about him now that you thought you knew before you got there?" "You know, well, everything—because I'm with you! I knew he was in the league, I knew he was a great player but playing on the other side—I'd see him play twice a year and I wouldn't watch that much and I had no appreciation for how good he was. But the answer—I'm gonna give you an answer about Barkov and it's not gonna be good enough... 'cuz I can't answer that question about him yet, I still haven't gotten to figure it out. I don't know to do it justice but he's this extreme perfect blend of absolutely no ego and an incredible drive to be better at the same time. So usually the guys that are really driven have a bit of an ego. Ego's not bad always, right? Maybe I'm using the wrong word to describe it but he will put his teammates and his—everything—first, and it won't bother him one bit! That's exactly the way he wants it! He doesn't want to be the first guy out, he doesn't want to—it's not that he doesn't want to do interviews because of the media! Talk to this guy! You walk in our room—you don't know hockey and you don't know names—you can't tell if he's the 1st forward or the 13th forward by the way he treats people. That's absolutely the truth! And the reason he's not appreciated as much as a player is: I have never, ever once seen him even remotely cheat to the offensive side of the game to score a point. He just won't do it. That doesn't mean he's sitting back defensively! He doesn't give a rat's ass about his point totals, he just wants to win. So he's never gonna put the numbers up that he could. If Barky decided he was gonna generate points—if somebody'd convince him, 'Hey, Barky! If you just cheat the game and score—we'd got a better chance of winning!' I don't know, [he'd put up] 120, 130 points? Like he is brilliant but he will never, ever put the game—you know, what? He wouldn't put himself in front of the game. The game demands certain things and you can't get past that no matter how good you are. There are certain things you got to do in this game and usually those are hard things... he'd never once put himself in front of the game." "You can't score 120 or 130 without cheating a little bit, right? It's just a real—" "Yeah, except those guys don't call it cheating! They call it anticipating. Bad players cheat, good players anticipate." "They see things before they happen, Paul! That's what happens!" "Exactly, exactly!"

//Lambda as the protagonist of a retro FPS. It would probably play a lot like Qu.ake.

Have you ever thought about creating background stories for the monsters in Total Destruction? I remember a trailer for Total Destruction where more details were given about the human lives of the monsters.

I have, though there's so many of them, I'm not sure it would be worth the effort. I do certainly have backgrounds for the Universal Tour monsters and Harley from Through Time, though these will only come up sporadically.

after all why shouldn't odette have an all girl boarding school au based off Picnic at Hanging Rock.

Finn is 100% getting a DA:TV verse. Not a Rook, well maybe, but there's plenty of ideas so far. Lords of Fortune rogue. I'm thinking up more as I play the game.

“canon mikerophone would by definition be unrequited bc phone guy never actually met him” sometimes a tutorial character is fond of the player character in a way that defies “logic” or “timelines”. hope this helps 💞 /lh lh

//Watching some video about games tutorials (doing dishes and very bored atm) and talking about familiarity with the mechanics just reminds me of how I went through the entirety of P5R, P3P, P1, and part of P4G before I realized element weaknesses are not 100% random and they often tend to have "opposites".

Good gods it has been 3 years.

berdey someone told me that heavenly sword is a ripoff of god of war is this true

It's NOT a rip-off! The story is completely different! Kratos had a much weaker story than Nariko, she fuckin DIED to save her world. Kratos just became a god and could do whwrer- whatever he wanted!

Heavenly Sword is a LOT more emotion than God of War. Shit sucks.

This show is so good at making me doubt everything and have no idea what to believe anymore

((...I'm falling into the multimuse trap of wanting to add more muses but that amount of work would take time and I kind of don't have that rn))

[rompstompchomp]

have you ever considered writing any rampage fanfic? the ao3 rampage tag could really use some good stuff in it

I have pondered the idea at times. I don't know if I would have the energy because of having to do everything myself versus with other people. I could do it, no doubt, but it'd have to be at a time where I had the time and energy and really had a story worth putting a lot of effort into.

in another bout of nat can't decide for herself ..

Spoilers for bg3 [Wyll!romance, durge!PT]; Details Below.

So, I'm undecided if I should have Kaeliana [my durgewyll PT/Tav] a) take the deal with Gortash and become an Oathbreaker. OR b) save Ulder Ravengard for her boo thang [after breaking the pact with Mizora].

On the one hand, for all Kae does want power she has been fairly [sorta] mindful of her oath/being a Paladin. It is basically the only thing that is HERS and she remembers. And I don't know if I want that for her, BUT I think the path of using the darkness in you/doing bad things for a 'good' ending/result fits her [ie, my only tadpole consuming Tav]. I also want to see the fuss between DurgeTash [It's been kind of disappointing so far? Is it fandom hyping it up or does good shit happen?]

As for Wyll, well she is Team Let Ulder Die [because this fits her get the cake and eat it too dreams: Having her prince charming and having influence/power]. And I know [I believe?] apparently he will die anyway [fuck you Mizora]. BUT I hear you get a quest with him alive that gives good lore [I'm assuming with Wyll. I hear you CAN do it if he dies, but it is BETTER if he lives].

I mean I have other PTs and other characters who would easily say fuck you Gortash. [I MAY do another durge!PT in the future] But I only have one durgewyllmance.

tl:dr: I guess it's a three part poll:

Take Gortash's deal and become an oathbreaker

Don't take Gortash's deal [forever considering it] but don't save Ulder

Save Ulder and lose the deal

So, make my decisions for me please and thanks.

//I think the more I watch d.bd discussion videos or read threads the more I realize people who enjoy certain k.illers will argue tooth and nail they're good game design, because they like playing them instead of realizing "Yeah its kind of bad actually that a killer is so un-interactive on the s.urvivors side its either leave and get hit or stay there and get hit anyway."
