What are your thoughts on "pro" gaming and the competitive scene? I have a negative perception of it, most of the players seem super toxic in their mindsets or behaviors. I'm sure not all are, I've met some that are nice and pleasant but not most.
I think that competition at the highest skill levels can be compelling to watch for the right games. I think that the narrative that naturally grows out of high level competition results in rivalries that can be engaging for players to follow. I also think that high level competition self-selects for a certain amount of ego that helps drive the player to compete at a high level.
Tumblr media
I also think that it's not healthy to get too involved in any kind of parasocial relationship with influencers, including professional gamers. These people are not in the spotlight because they are good people, they're in the spotlight because they can play a particular game very well. One would do well to remember that expertise in one field isn't necessarily transferrable to other fields. I should be able to admire someone's ability to perform at such a high level without needing to agree with them on anything else or condoning any toxic behavior.
Tumblr media
From an industry perspective, pro gamers generally fall into the "influencer" bucket. The dev team will often solicit feedback from them since they tend to be extremely familiar with game systems, but listening to feedback should never be conflated with "will do exactly as they demand". Marketing may invite them to marketing events or set up sponsored competitions/exhibitions for these players to participate in as a way to generate interest in an upcoming product release. That's about it from my perspective.

Concord being taken down after around two weeks is a triumph for gamers everywhere. Sony reimbursing anyone who wasted their money on this crappy game is wonderful to hear, and actually very good of them. Gaming Journalists melting down over it however is just gravy, and I am cackling at them.

Random- Work at a pizza place
Me @sw11ft @edenkyubiko and @tw1nkee28 were playing one night. So here’s the very rough draft because I thought it was silly :D
(Might try to make it again when I actually have a solid surface to draw on x-x)

Eden and Tw1nkee were the cashiers, Sw11ft was the angry cook (rightfully so), and I was the manager ^^

So i know we all like to hc that legolas knew at least aragorn before the quest, or the elves of imlardis.
But honestly, au in which legolas is genuinely just some random elf that showed up to deliver a message, was roped into the council and saw the most amazing oppurtunity to fuck with everyone and took the elf spot in the party?
Like, no-one knows who tf he is, he’s just a messenger (no one knows he’s thranduil’s son) and elrond gave him a seat at the council out of indulgence. And then this one motherfucker no one knows ends up joining one of, if not the most, important quest in ME.
Legolas, knowing damn well no one’s got a clue who tf he is: hold on, i sense an opportunity to do the funniest shit ever.
And after he volunteered himself, it’s not like elrond can just go: no, wait a minute.
Legolas has got the audacity. He’s sensing all the imlardis elves’ daggers in their eyes and is full on cackling in his head.
They are having a horrible time and legolas is thriving!
The walkers themselves don’t know untill after the quest.

Odysseus of Troy AU
Inspired by the Warrior!Penelope AU, @maggie44paint's Malewife Menelaus AU & @theblindgoddess + DaughterOfDungeonBat's Penelope of Troy AU.
So instead of Helen, Paris chooses Odysseus, thinking he's the safer option because he's just the king of small, barren Ithaca & super smart. Baby Telemachus is also spirited away as extra leverage.
Paris thinks he's being cunning, hoping this choice can somewhat ease Athena's wrath as well.
At first, Athena is furious....but then she gives the go-ahead for 3 reasons.
Odysseus will give Paris hell.
Hera will give Paris hell.
This one is important: Penelope will give Paris hell.
Paris tells himself he's doing Penelope a favour! Now she can find another, more powerful husband & have another kid with him. Plus, she's a woman with a tiny kingdom, it's not like she'll come knocking on Troy's walls.
Newsflash: a furious Penelope comes pounding on Troy's walls with a vengeance.
(Bonus if she isn't even being backed by Ares here. Oh no, all that unstoppable rage is 100% pure Penelope.)
In Olympus, Hera & Athena are cackling and high-fiving over a bucket of popcorn. In Troy, Ody is going full Mission Impossible, being a monster (rawr rawr rawr) to Paris, mapping out servant passages, calculating how much cloth it'll take to make a long enough rope & hoarding tiny paper scraps and crumbs for bird feeding.
He goes all: Yes, I need more clothes. It's not my fault my clothes keep ripping. *wink wink*. Oh, I'm not supposed to be here? Silly me, I'm hopeless without Athena's wisdom now! Look at the cute birdie, little wolf! *slips a message onto them while his son's buried under feathers*
Athena is very proud of her master liar.
Bonus:
Hector & Ody ironically become good friends because they're both dads and loving husbands. Hector tells himself he will NOT get attached to the man who's singlehandedly screwed him, his family & Troy over......only to pat the guy's back as he sobs for the nth time over missing his wife. It's hard not to empathize with him & feel a little sorry for the kid who doesn't even remember his mom.
And maybe when Hector senses that the end is coming, he & Andromache ask Ody to take Astyanax with him. He won't have a future in Troy, but it's better than no future, period.
Thus, Penelope returns to Ithaca with her family one member bigger than before.

The awnser to who's more of a feminist king between Sokka and Zuko is neither Sokka nor Zuko but a secret third thing:they're both equally misogynistic.If any Atla dude is a standup woman worshipping legend,it's Aang-He not only never had a random sexist phrases phase but fell in love with Katara for her brown girl swag onsight and fell harder as he found out she's also a punk brown girl specifically,never complained about Toph's girly ass nickname for him even though it was meant to be taunting and looked up to her earthbending skills and take no shit tomboy attitude from the start,respects Yangchen and Kyoshi even when he disagrees with them on fundamental things,supported Kya as his lesbian daughter no problem when she came out to him and had Korra's back when so many dudes were giving her a hard time.Crazy how this is a legit debate considering Aang's literally the protagonist of Atla so we get to see him the most but y'all would rather focus on his nonexistent worst moments Zutradras made up🫰🏼
