#regrettable purchase tbh

[banditomojado]

Finally saw this fight! Super late I know but I just realized my new paramount+ subscription came with showtime boxing. Got it just in time for it the die 🫡 Anyway I'm mostly a hardcore MMA fan who only recently started following boxing, even though I watched a lot of the big fights in the 00's and 10's growing up, but holy shit I like this guy. Again, I'm a boxing white belt, but he fights so ummm ugly? He uses his long body in weird ways that are somehow also brilliant at times? Like his defense is good but he does get hit but he kinda just eats it? Straight face. He smiles sometimes. He's so weird in my opinion but god damn is he ferocious once he starts rolling downhill on you. He kinda reminds me of Nate and Nick Diaz, who also fight ugly and look drunk half the time but then all of a sudden it's the second half of round 2 and their landing 5 piece combinations on you. Obviously their not elite boxers but idk that's the MMA connection I had watching the fight. If Nick or Nate grew up boxing full time and developed real power they probably would fight a lot like Benavidez.

9. And 30. for video game ask 😊

9. Most regrettable purchase?

I have lots of them tbh, so I'll just say every game that made me get season pass/deluxe/premium editions thinking they will have good dlcs in them for free but instead I got some shitty microtransactions, which I still had to purchase separately anyway 🤡

30. How many consoles do you own?

I have ps4, ps3 which barely works now, and my new pc :D

Fun Video Game Asks for you and your cool friends

[tiger--wolf]

9, 23, 48, 58 😁✌🏻

Yaass, more asks! Thank you Betty <3

Most regrettable purchase? Already answered this one buuut if I had to say another purchase I guess it would be my PS vr headset. It just doesn’t have many interesting games available for it and doesn’t get used as much as I’d like. Tbh now that I have my gaming PC I wish I could invest in a headset for that instead.

The game that you’ve logged the most hours into? Oooooh dear... that’s a good question. One that I can’t answer with confidence lmao. Kingdom hearts ate up a lot of my time when i got into the series. And when I say a lot i mean A LOT. Recently thought it’s been DMC for sure. Apparently i’ve spent over a hundred hours on the HD collection alone (without even touching 2 lmao). Add the play times of the other games as well along with the PS 4 versions and... well... i’m sure you get the picture.

How long does it take your to customize your player character? Longer than actually playing the game XD in all seriousness though, i can spend hours on any kind of customization screen. Character, vehicle, weapons... What’s that? The big bad’s about to blow up an entire city? Yeah alright cool, but have you considered a new hairstyle.... three hours later

If you can only play 3 games for the rest of your life, which ones do you pick? 

How about.. I don’t do that... Oh god, do I really have to??? Hngggggh okay! Okami, Kingdom hearts 3 and DMC 3 (I’M SORRY PERSONA 5 I STILL LOVE YOU! ; A ; )

[quakebeats]

2, 4, 7, 9, 14,

2. A game that has influenced you creatively? Writing, drawing, etc.

i’m literally not artistic in any shape or fashion tbh but i get inspired by video game art in general. i love collecting the art books and shit. that’s about it.

4. Who do you play with now?

i’m more of a solo gamer. but maybe if twitch counts as other people?

7. Any games you have multiple copies of?

probably a few remastereds and originals. all the bioshocks, la noire, grand theft auto are some off the top of my head.

9. Most regrettable purchase?

gotta say the PC version of la noire. spent weeks trying to get it to work but it has serious issues that still haven’t been fixed so it’s unplayable for me on computer. 

14. Favorite game music?

i got all both of the life is strange soundtracks and the music from both the last of us and left behind. 

fun video game asks

[latineslytherin]

Ah. See I’m very opposed to the subscription models of…well tbh anything and will avoid it as long as I can. I can only do single purchase as I budget closely. So one and done payment and carry on. So Regrettably I can’t. Especially as I cannot afford it. Hogwarts legacy will essentially be my game purchase for the next two years as I delve into the world and write fic. And that’s what I got out of the others as well). HOWEVER i did try it out once upon a time. So it’s not like I didn’t give it a shot with a free trial. Plus I did the whole MMORPG years ago with GW2 and the grind fest and server drama on those is …exhausting.

It was a good alternative game suggestion though and I do appreciate it.

Alright people who are suggesting alternative games to Hogwarts Legacy. This is an actual call for suggestions for other games to play that meet the same criteria as it. Find me a game that I haven’t already played (which is largely the reason why I am not playing another game is because anything else that meets the criteria, I’ve likely played it).

Single player third person fantasy story based rpg with a character creator with NB options and includes dark skin options (as in more than 2) and comes with more than 4 coily/textured hair options, and realistic graphics.

And here are the games I’ve already played: all Bioware games, anything by Spiders, Saints Row, Black Desert Online, cyberpunk 2077, outriders (just off the top of my head. And yes I included to multiplayers). Do not suggest any thing by Bethesda because no. Not after Fallout 76.

Not playing it, but just like it’s whole deal. 35. Ever work in a game store? Or do you have a favorite game shop?No and no, tbh36. Have you ever shed actual blood, sweat or tears over a game?I… don’t think so? Maybe I’ve cried over a game, but blood?? Put the controller down, y’all37. Have you played E.T. for the Atari 2600? Do you think that’s the worst game ever, or do you have another nomination?NO NO NO OVER THE HEDGE (2006) FOR THE PS2 IS THE SINGLE WORST GAME EVER MADE FIGHT ME ON THIS38. A game you’re ashamed to admit that you like?Oh lord… idk if anyone’s ever played any of Ambition’s dating sims (Dream Girlfriend, Dream Boyfriend, Animal Boyfriend, and Moe Can Change) but I’ve literally been playing them for about… 5-ish years now?

What to you think of virtual reality headsets or motion controls?I love VR but the last time I tried it at a friend’s place I fucking faceplanted after leaning on a counter I forgot was also virtual and the first thing my friend asked was whether the headset was ok, so that stung.

Do you like relaxing games like Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon?yesssss I love them47. Do you like competitive games?I mean like I said, I mostly prefer single-player games, but I do enjoy the occasional co-op game48. How long does it take your to customize your player character?about an hour49. In games where you can pick your class, do you always tend to go for the same type of character?I actually don’t! If it’s a game I’m not confident I’ll be good at, I pick whichever class is recommended for beginners, and that changes from game to game. Alternatively, I just go through phases where I prefer a specific class above others 50. If you were a game designer, what masterpiece would you create?Christ I have no idea. Maybe a first-person escape game? idk51. Have you ever played a game for so long that you forgot to eat or sleep?NO?? DAMN ARE Y’ALL OK????52.

I play a lot of escape games, and uh… the Ambition games mentioned previously60. Do you know the Konami Code?Is that the up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A? Huh, I never knew it had a name!61. Do you trade in your games or keep them forever?I used to trade them in occasionally, but mostly I keep them 62. Ever buy a console specifically to play one game?Yeah the Switch for BotW. Not proud of it, but it was worth it63. Ever go to a gaming convention or tournament? nah64. Ever make a TV or monitor purchase based on what would be best for gaming?Yep! 65. Ever have a Game Genie, Game Shark or Action Replay? Did it ever mess up your game’s save file?OHHHH MY GOD YEAH, I’M STILL FUCKING PISSED ABOUT IT. I had GameShark for Gameboy and PS2, but that one was fine, it didn’t cause any problems. It was ACTION FUCKING REPLAY that fucked me over. I used it for KH2 and it worked the whole time until literally THE VERY LAST XEMNAS FIGHT, when my HP bar suddenly dropped to 1??? Not my HP, mind you, the HP BAR. Meaning 1 HP was the most I could have. Literally fuck action replay >:( 66. Did you ever have have an old Nokia with Snake on it?nope67. Do you have a happy gaming-related childhood memory you want to share?I do! The very first thing I ever saved up money for to buy myself was Pokemon Crystal version. Until then I’d just been borrowing (re:stealing) my brother’s, but when I was 5 and Crystal was about to come out, my parents made me a deal that if I saved up $15, they’d pay the other $15 and I could get it! It was the first time I was working towards a fun goal, so it was all pretty exciting for 5-year-old me lol. It’s dumb, I know, but it’s something I look back on fondly68. Ever save up a ton of tickets in an arcade to get something cool?Lol nah, I think the best thing I ever got with tickets was a cheap snowglobe 69. In your opinion, best game ever made? UHHHH GOD. That’s… super tough. I’m genuinely not sure I have an answer tbh. I’m really into Divinity 2 right now but best game ever made?? Idk! that’s a hard one!!!! 70. Very first game you ever beat? I won’t lie, it was Spongebob: Supersponge on GBA

[kingjaffejoffer]

In Re Spending: how many young and dumb regrettable purchases do you have lying around the crib? In the back of my closet I have a Mitchell and Ness Dr. J Squires jersey and every time I see it when I’m looking for something I wish I had that money again lmao

Tbh my car is the only stupid purchase I’ve made that was truly a bad idea.

I’m hindsight I should have bought a used car instead of a brand new one. I don’t regret it, but in hindsight I could have made a better financial decision.

All the other little shit I’ve wasted money on is whatever.

[lizbian]

all the ones with a 9 in them

9. Most regrettable purchase?

Once i was on steam and bought smth on sale without really looking at it bc i was Desperate for turn based fantasy rpgs and it Really Thought It Was Funny and it wasnt, and part of the problem was being misogynistic as fuck like every chick had tits the size of cantelopes and i just. h. i didnt know about steams refund policy back then at all so i just took it out of my steam library way after buying it bc i couldnt bear looking at it there anymore

19. Favorite handheld console?

i love the switch? the design doesnt hurt my hand as much, all the games on it are pretty fantastic thus far, and its got pretty good battery life and the touch screen... it seems like the touch screen can survive more than the other nintendo consoles have previously which is a RELIEF i killed my first ds’ touch screen by playing harvest moon ds and doing the cow minigames daily

29. What is your gaming set up?

usually i just sit at my desk tbh. i dont really have a setup i just sit in front of my computer which is a p average setup nothin fancy. my most elaborate setup is for splatoon when im rapidly cycling weapons with my amiibo chips

39. A sequel that you would die for them to make?

hmmmm. i guess id say like, a sequel for dark cloud that felt more like dark cloud 1 because i tried dark cloud 2 and hated it just, control and feel wise. i dont have much opinion on the plot of dark cloud 2 because i didnt take the controls enough to continue

49. In games where you can pick your class, do you always tend to go for the same type of character?

kinda? it really depends on the game what i gravitate to, but i usually start with archers! 

59. Do you play any cell phone games?

The only mobile game i have that i really play is crypt of the necrodancer, which im absurdly bad at!

69. In your opinion, best game ever made?

it really depends on what qualifies as best - best writing probably goes to shadowrun dragonfall or hatoful boyfriend, best controls probably to splatoon 2, in terms of atmosphere dont starve or breath of the wild? all around id probably have to nominate splatoon 2 just for the sheer quality of all those things jumping to impressive heights when octo expansion came out

[ourlittlebitofnothinguniverse]

All for the video game ask. (do I need to mention only if u r comfy w/ it at this point). Love you!!

alright u done done it now bitchhhhhhhh are u READY 4 THIS SHIT (dshfa;lkj thamk i am so pumped ur my biggest enabler) i already answered a couple of these for anon but i’ll go ahead and answer them here as well

1. First game you played obsessively?hmmmm i wanna say the legend of spyro the eternal night? i played it so much i could beat the whole game in four hours. i’ve heard lots of ppl actually hated the legend of spyro trilogy but honestly they can suck my ass i loved them

2. A game that has influenced you creatively? Writing, drawing, etc.uh besides my answer for anon of skyrim not many games have actually just straight up influenced my art style but i’ve been playing this game called Fe (not fire emblem just Fe) and i really want to draw fanart for it bc it’s super cute if that Counts as influence?

3. Who did you play with as a kid?if this is meant in terms of co-op games nobody bc we didn’t have anyif just in general, my sister for the most part. i’d watch her play things like resident evil and she’d help me with the hard parts in medievil and crash bandicoot warped (read: racing levels)

4. Who do you play with now?myself lmao i don’t rly like co-op and multiplayer games and i prefer to play most games by myself

5. Ever use cheat codes?like i told anon, no bc i don’t know how they work and i’d probably only use them for the sims anyways

6. Ever buy strategy guides?not really? once we bought the collectors edition for diablo II when i was little and it included the strategy guide which i stayed up all night to read (bc i had run out of other reading materials in the house) but like i don’t really use them idk

7. Any games you have multiple copies of?the sims three and i know you know the reason why but in case anybody else wants to know: i didn’t know they had actually completely changed the game since i had played it last probably a decade ago so i bought it @ walmart this year and then i got mad bc it apparently SUCKS ASS now so in search of a copy of the original version i bought a second one from amazon bc the Image being used WAS of the original case but it really was the new version so now i have two SHITTY SHITTY VERSIONS of a game i used to love that i will never play bc it’s shit except maybe i will bc apparently it has real life music in it just replaced with sims language which is amazing and this response is far too long for the question but i asked u if u were ready so u signed up 4 thisi also have an xbox version of it tht i got for like christmas or smth years ago and a,,,,,, ds version??? that i got last year bc somebody was selling “the original version of the game including every expansion pack” for only like $30 and it definitely said disk version but when i got it it was this Pre-owned Dirty Ds Cartridge Covered In What Looked Like Strawberry Jelly and when i tried to contact them they shut their page down so there’s that which equals four shitty shitty copies of the sims three and i will never be more mad about anything than i am about this

Okay, how about 9, 13 and 14.

9. Most regrettable purchase?

I don’t think I’ve ever really regretted buying a game. I’d say Secret Rings but I technically got that for free. :P

13. A game you’ve never played that everyone else has?

tons. pretty much any big game that’s not Sonic, Spyro, or Pokemon.

14. Favorite game music?

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGLxZrFWQ8Mg7t597a7ufqGBIFTNm-SnP

and most gen 4 and 5 Pokemon music. I’m not a big fan of most Spyro music though tbh.

[arathergrimreaper]

9, 14, 23!

9. Most regrettable purchase.

Y'know...I don't actually have one of these yet? I mean, sometimes I buy games on accident thinking I'm buying another but considering I usually have to wait to buy games used, I rarely spend my money where I don't want to.

14. What's your favorite game music?

This is a toss up between anything Zelda and Okami, tbh. Both are mysterious and whimsical but Zelda has that lovely far and away vibe whereas Okami is steeped in folklore, theatre, and tradition. Very nice OSTs.

23. What game have you clocked in the most hours?

Okay, if we're talking about a game I played and have done a lot in because it's huge, probs Skyrim or Dragon Age: Inquisition (I had to start this one over because halfway through my first playthrough I realized I did not have my previous stories as background lore). If we're talking how much I have replayed simply because it's my favorite and I try and complete The Most on it? Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker, which I have easily replayed about ten times.

[haonqq]

9, 10, 23, 24 for the video game ?'s

9. Most regrettable purchase?

tbh it has to be Tyranny. I bought it when I realized Obsidian made it and lots of people suggested it to others, and the art style is p sick but I really can’t even get through the opening sequence and the combat is a mess

10.  Ever go to a midnight game release or stand in line for hours?

Not for myself! I went with Angie when she went to pick up Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (tho catch me in line for DA4)

23. The game that you’ve logged the most hours into?

While its was Inquisition for a good long ass time, recently Pillars of Eternity has surpassed it with 150+ hours in one playthrough

24. First Pokemon game?

Pokemon Pearl! I got it for Christmas the year it came out(as well as my ds!) and it holds a special place in my heart

[blondetheftauto]

So, idk what happened, but I had an anon ask for #1-10 and it must have been deleted (thanks tumblr), so here goes:

1. First game you played obsessively?

Pokemon Emerald. I /loved/ that game.

2. A game that has influenced you creatively? Writing, drawing, etc.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion really sparked my interest for medieval-themed fantasy, which is my jam

3. Who did you play with as a kid?

I either played with my two cousins, or with my Dad.

4. Who do you play with now?

Whoever the fuck is online (the MA team mostly tbh)

5. Ever use cheat codes?

Yes, but not for the things that you think.

6. Ever buy strategy guides?

Do Pokedex books count? I bought a lot of those.

7. Any games you have multiple copies of?

I have two copies of Pokemon Ruby because my grandma and my aunt accidentally bought two of them for Christmas one year when I was little, so I kept both of them.

8. Rarest/Most expensive game in your collection?

Probably The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the N64. Still have the copy from when I was little.

9. Most regrettable purchase?

The only things I regret buying video game wise are Pokemon Black and White. Didn’t like them, but still kept them.

10. Ever go to a midnight game release or stand in line for hours?

Yes. I don’t remember which game, but I went to a midnight release of a game that I got at Walmart, and then a opening release at GameStop for another game I can’t remember.
