#shower thinking

i cant decide

(was this too many choices again?)

Do you ever think about how we could have been so much farther in innovations for our planet if so much of the funding didn't go to researching how to fine tune weapons?

Random shower thought:

Hypnos, from Greek mythology, is kinda like Santa Claus but instead of being presents to nice kids he brings sleep to people

And Thantos, his brother, is like Krampus, if instead of kidnapping naughty kids he took those whose time was up.

Everyone wants something real until they meet someone whose real standards challenge them to be real consistent, real considerate and real committed.

Imagine if there was a tf2 love update?!-

Had this thought while showering but, imagine an update like that for February or just some random month, where we get new voice lines for each ship so no one feels abandoned. Just imagine in battle hearing a heavy saying "I love you doktor!" And a medic saying "ich liebe dich too, misha!", then right after a demoman saying "Thanks doc, I love ye!" And the medic replying "Whenever you want, meine liebe!", AND SO ON???

Bunch of spies calling engineers "Darling", engineers calling soldiers "Sweetie", soldiers calling medics "sweetheart", medics calling snipers "Liebe", snipers calling scouts "love", AND SO ON?!?! WOULDN'T THAT BE SO GREAT?!

New partner taunts for kiss, hugging, cuddling, flirting, 😋, etc!!!

New dating maps!!, imagine a map called something like "Paris evening", and it's just a map where it's night in Paris in a place where there are a bunch of restaurants and tables where you can sit with another players to have dates!!. Imagine a map "Battlefield picnic", where it's just some big hills covered with grass, flowers, some forest around it and of course, picnic tables and stuff where you can sit with other players... It would be so romantic😔😔😔...

New cosmetics like a wedding dress, suits, rings, kiss marks🤭, matching necklaces?!?!

Even weapons, stuff to do with cupid (I know that sniper has a bow and arrow, shh), even some kind of weapon that would leave lipstick marks on them XD.

I need that update so bad...

So in my current Psychonauts fixation while I work on the damn massive fanfic demanding to be let out of my head, I’ve been revisiting a lot of the little things about the games.

Case in point: How you get more health in the 1st game.

You rescue brains, talk to the kids after doing so and your health increases. The explanation the game provides is that the kids start thinking about your quest and that increases mental energy.

Doesn’t this mean that technically, in the Psychonauts universe, thoughts and prayers ARE actually helpful? (At least when directed at a psychic)

It feels amazing to jerk off my dick like omg it’s so freaking sensitive I love it, I want to play with it all day, having a dick feels so good I’m melting.

I keep seeing youtube video's with the title's saying "THIS IS WHAT *insert video game or tv show* DID RIGHT WITH *insert topic*" and every time i think "ah yes, i also want to do that think right." so i click the video but its just soooo boringggg and then when i don't click it i think "what if this is like my canon event??? and this is why my game became shit because i didn't know why *insert video game or tv show* was amazing in *doing very specific thing*" i am plagued by these thoughts daily

(pls send tea recs i have like five different variations of earl grey and am starting to get worried) >-<

also kinda gave up on the emoticons for this one they were just too hard 😔

[kanha-ki-fangirl]

how you feel after a shower is directly proportional to the music you were listening during it

[inlife-png]

I wonder how many times a day “I love you” is said across the world

[daughterofchaosstuff]

Some people don't know what they have until it's gone.

But what about the one's who do know? The one's who never took a damn thing for granted? Who tried their hardest to hold on , yet could only look on helplessly while they lost the thing they loved the most. Isn't it so much worse for them?

Furries having "skinsuits" and cosplaying as humans.

Skinnies.

Think about it.

Alternative is not a phase.

You're born into it without realising it until you're at least 11-12.

If you have left wing morals, enjoy rock and metal music, not follow the heard with fashion, love the darker side of things including fashion, and often neurodivergent. Then congratulations, my friend... you are an alternative person!

Others: If you were asked to write for the 5th Valkyria Chrinicles game, how would you write it?

Me: As a mixture of the Burma, New Guinea, and Borneo campaign.

Others: … What?

Me: Well, the Valkyria chronicles franchise has always liked toying with some degree of moral ambiguity, with an empire that is clearly in the wrong, but the side you are fighting for, while better, still has glaring flaws. Furthermore, the fourth game implied and talked about the idea that nations within the Federation has colonies, and while I am skeptical of how much of what the Imperial soldier stating that claim is stating established facts or state propaganda, that could be an angle to explore plot wise.

Think about it, perhaps the Empire launches a naval invasion to try and take over these resource rich colonies, and are banking on creating a narrative that they are liberators to the indigenous population, just like how the Japanese did during their initial pushes into Southeast Asia.

This could also mean a new perspective of what I shall dub for the sake of this post, the “Commonwealth”, who draws inspiration from mainly British colonial forces and Commonwealth, more specifically, Indian and Australian forces, with a heavy side of Gurkhas. Where you have to manage and combat this narrative, between members of your squad that are descendants of Edinburgh Federation settlers (Australians), indigenous peoples (Indians, Indonesians, Malaysians, and Nepali Gurkhas) and those actually from the Federation (British).

Not to mention, this could also be interesting to explore in the context of why they are siding with the Federation. Those actually from the Federation might view the conflict through the lens of ideology, and preserving the Empire Federation. Meanwhile the settlers might not care about the broader Federation, but they do care about their home being threatened. Finally those who are indigenous might have negative feelings about their current Colonial overlords, but be even more skeptical to the Imperial claims, or maybe even be exposed to the actual Imperial treatment that is far worse than anything the Federation have done.

And the Darscen can be explored in an interesting lens, as the Federation-native members might have the most amount of anti-Darscen soldiers, while settlers might still talk about them using offensive terms, but otherwise treats them better due to the need for the skill sets often associated with Darscens being particularly useful and valuable, while the indigenous members don’t have the context for the hate, and as far as they’re concerned, it’s someone else’s problem.

Gameplay-wise, the door is open to a lot of creativity. Jungle warfare can open the door to a lot of new mechanics and tactical situations. Maps could be very claustrophobic due to the thick jungle. Closer engagements could lead to having classes be more flexible, such as the inclusion of melee, bonus equipment like flares for the Scout class that helps to boost accuracy within the zone, or even new skills like engineers being able to build emplaced weapons.

Then there are the tanks. Tanks could play an interesting role, as tanks were used in far more limited numbers and roles compared to the European fronts, but I can easily see an interesting exploration in this world about smaller more compact tanks that function like anti-infantry roles, like how the Australians use Matilda tanks in the liberation of Borneo.

I could also see the dropping of the lancer class (iconic as it is), but the adoption of a new class that I would dub the “point man”, who would act as a mix of the scout and the shock class, having high movement range, but armed with more short ranged weapons like submachine guns and introducing shotguns to the series.

And the enemy can be interesting as well, with perhaps less use of the traditional image of the Imperial forces within the series, but instead more like naval troops and sailors and marines, perhaps their own colonial forces, and maybe even native people who side with the Imperials, deeming the Federation too irredeemable.

Finally, aesthetic. I think people are too obsessed with either the German, Soviet and/or American WWII aesthetic, but I personally find British commonwealth and colonial forces too be an awesome aesthetic, and also because I believe people often overlook the actions and achievements of British imperial forces.

Personally, I think people might be intrigued with playing characters inspired and based off Sikh, Malay, Gurkhas, Australians, and even British forces. Slouches hats, Bren guns, Owen guns, and Kukri knives, honestly it would be cool to see and use.

Besides, what could be cooler than siccing a fantasy world equivalent of a Gurkha or Aussie on an unsuspecting Imperial?

Others:… Go back to having the shower thoughts be about Genshin.
