still dont see how so many people say that dawntrail is poorly written in comparison to other expansions like. what, did you realize you had to learn about a new culture and immediately not care anymore lmao? you've done it before, was this one not white enough for you?
genuinely i think more people should do side quests during msq so idk you can form a heart about the characters you're interacting with if you struggle with that and understand the land better so when impactful shit happens your illiterate ass can actually read and have empathy. theres no excuse for this.
if you can't handle storybuilding and character introductions from the expansion that feels like stormblood and shadowbringers had passionate gay sex that got one of them pregnant and birthed a beautiful daughter they both love and care about then idk what to tell you, maybe youre just lame and can't read. best of luck with that.
#'they dont take as many risks as shadowbringers and endwalker!!' okay one WHAT risk did ENDWALKER take lmao#and two DID YOU PLAY PAST ZORMOR LMAO?????????? HELLO?????????? DID YOU LEAVE TULIYOLLAL??? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT#like i genuinely think you guys just complain about shit without actually playing the game#god forbid you have to learn about another world#some people heard this was stormblood 2 and immediately gave up caring#oh im sorry you were able to care about literal racist elves in cold france but a refugee? a non white civilization? oh i see#shadowbringers literally set up its societies too they were already in war dawntrail wasnt already#i think people should replay stormblood. it was never a bad expansion and i dont know what people are talking about???#half of the complaints i see for stormblood are racist and the other half werent reading any of the dialogue#'the horrors of war expansion has horrors of war in it i just wanna play on the playground with gay elves'#bitches will literally say they dont understand stormblood or dawntrail and then say yotsuyu was justified zenos is hot and wuk lamat is bad#why play a fantasy game if youre not interested in exploring new worlds#dawntrail takes so many more risks than shadowbringers and endwalker combined and sticks the landing with just about all of them#i think my only problem was how many times theg brought up they arent related by blood. no i can tell lol#some of yall are just haters that cant form their own opinion and are just mindlessly nodding along to somebody#you follow on twitter that was gonna hate DT regardless because zenos didnt come back to life this time#consume new media. go do side quests. touch grass. walk a trail at dawn and perhaps you have appreciation for story building#you guys are pathetic and i wish you the worst <3#dawntrail's twists are on par with shb and stb thats why i call it the love child of stormblood and shadowbringers#ffxiv

i havent finished da3 yet so maybe this will be explained but i literally just dont understand why the hell I'M the inquisitor. like just coz i was ambiguously At Some Place where some important shit happened and i have a mark on my hand that can close rifts, that gives me a licence to run literally everything?? what if the random guy who showed up from the rift with no memories is shit at running things??? or just evil???? not to mention why is the top dog the one to go on every single mission ever like why am i doing frankly insane amounts of busywork if im theee guy of this organisation? like it would've made far more sense for there to be an inquisitor who's, yknow, actually experienced at running things, who stays back in skyhold while i go out to close rifts and collect 15 elfroot and 5 black lotus like surely this should not be the inquisitor's job
#like all the logistical issues would go away if i wasn't the inquisitor the game wouldn't even have to change all that much#can you tell trying to finish every quest in every region is getting to me. every time i find a#new region and it's just as big as the previous 20 i lose a little bit more of my mind#75 hrs of in game time not counting savescumming . google says it takes 60 hrs to beat and 120 to 100%. let me go#i wanna play the 4th game so bad but not til i finish this. but dude holy fuuuuckkkk enough fetch quests...#it's incredibly impressive how big this game is like there's So Much Content and all the#regions are so different even tho there's so many of them like damn that's so cool. but also GOD why#like im aware that if i get annoyed it means im playing it wrong but unfortunately i have ocd i have to maxx it out.#also sunk cost fallacy like even if i replay it im never gonna 100% it again and im this far into it so i might as well do it now but 😭#i wanna play the 4th game how is this the longest game everrrrrrr.....#on the other hand hopefully they'll have fixed some bugs by the time i get around to downloading da4#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#da3

I just want everyone to know I thought about writing that modern AU Christmas Crystalhue/Stardust/Candlemark fic that I threatened to write last year. I didn't, but I thought about it, and that's what matters.
#aristocratic witterings#maybe next year#i really do like the idea#especially of making it a combination prismatic ray winter solstice holiday#but there are some new things i have to consider#and also i need to replay the games. that's at least one of gaming goals next year.#play through both vesper and ariadne at least once#regularly scheduled lore/characterization refresher. among other things.

Me: I love danganronpa but its a complicated series with a lot of faults. I would never recommend it to anyone.
Also me: .... WHO WANTS TO PLAY DANGANRONPA WITH ME !!!!
#shut up me#trying to get my friend's friend who previously expressed some interest to play with me and said friend#I would kill to replay these games with a new person again#....... and only part of it is because I miss komaeda. yes. the v3 guy misses komaeda. what of it

i'm thinking about making a pinned post but for now, hiii i've gained enough confidence to write and post said writing so here's a link to my first ever post on AO3 (its a valenwind fic for my fellow VW warriors).
i'd like to use tumblr to connect more with fellow squeenix fans because i lowkey miss having mutuals/people to talk to </3
#i miss being a teen on tumblr who had the courage to just message their favorite artists and writers#i've loved KH and FF7 since i was like... 10 years old#replaying and thinking about these games now more than a decade later is like#woah i have new ideas now that my frontal lobe developed#also SOMEHOW valenwind is not getting as much traction as i thought#hopefully the third part of the remake will remedy that...#until then i will be yapping about them because i love valenwind so much <3#ok here are some tags so people find this teehee#valenwind#cid highwind#vincent valentine#final fantasy 7#ff7#ffvii#final fantasy vii#cidvin#idk why people even use cidvin not being a hater valenwind just sounds so much nicer

I'm doing a new playthrough and it's getting me thinking about stuff. I find it incredibly harrowing that Victor basically has a dead guy's brain copied into him and has to do whatever House tells him to do.
Trudy is telling me how 'it's' hiding something, and doesn't trust Victor at all. Easy Pete telling me how he's harmless and "a broken down relic with no place to be."
Got me thinking again about how Victor's just been rolling around every so often in Goodsprings (while I'm assuming every so often switching consciousness to another robot). Why? Why keep watch over Goodsprings? It's not like it's instrumental to the strip or House at all to hang around there for 10 years.
Which leads me to the deeper questions like how much humanity remains in him? How much of the person he's based on remains specifically? Does he still think like a human, or are all the processes now... hmm filtered through machine like reasoning?
What got me thinking about Victor in this way again was suddenlyremembering how I asked him to help us defend Goodsprings in my first playthrough, and he didn't show up. Feeling disappointed. Then I think I used science skill when I next saw him to determine 'someone' (obv House in retrospect) had shut him down to prevent him showing up to help.
Incredibly horrifying to think that someone who owns you could shut you down like that, no matter their relationship when he was human. If House can shut him down, and gets him to do things like follow me around but not get involved, then how much free will does he have over his actions? Has Victor changed in the last 200 years? Or is he stuck exactly as he was when his brain was scanned, except that he has no choice in what he does now if House doesn't like it. Does he get to die if he wants to? Or is he too useful to House to be allowed that? Can House mess around with his artificial brain or just simply manipulate him into doing what he wants the old fashioned way? Is his compliance with House out of habit from when he was human, choice because he still agrees with House's ideas, or is there no choice for him?
I vaguely remember the explanations he gave me in the Lucky 38 in a previous playthrough making me sad. I can't even remember what he said exactly about himself, but I remember lots of questions feeling left unanswered. Which is part of the fnv experience of course... But, in this case I just couldn't even look at Victor standing outside the Lucky 38 without feeling bad. And now seeing him rolling around Goodsprings it's bringing back some of the sadness
I know part of the fun of FNV is creating your own ideas, roleplaying, deciding how to take situations where it isn't fully fleshed out or the constraints of the game are showing. So idk, I hope maybe I'm thinking about it all in a certain way, and maybe I come across or reason out another way to think about these Victor questions in my current playthrough. But for now he's a bunch of unanswered questions to me.
#fallout new vegas#fnv#if any of this gets a very specific answer in game pls just let me discover it myself. I'm sure I've misremembered some details but maybe#when I replay it this time I'll learn something new and it'll put a different light on it all. maybe less sad#uhhh#fnv spoilers#in case someone who just started the game is excitedly looking through the tag. bc that realization of why Victor dug courier out of the#grave is something you gotta experience firsthand imo. not see it in the fnv tags#i'll make a fnv rambles tag at some point but for now. eh

redrew a few old expressions from february!!! one never notices how much their art style changes in some months till you compare side by side www
(the old ones for comparison ↓)
#re:kinder#yuuichi mizuoka#fanart#you had no idea how bad my hand was itching to draw him i was so gon die there (joke)#more so because i replayed the game these days and wanted to check my old expression sheets from february i made based on some lines ...#usual commentary time☺️☺️☺️#top left may be obviously different and thats because i didnt actually base it off the old one in that case. i based it off his sprite#but the old one is based on that same sprite; just with context of line so...#no idea what went on these months that the way i drew his ahoge went from simple strands to little circular things JEKSNDL#im not sure how to explain it but point is i . i dont know what happened there but now my brain doesnt let me draw it any other way#top right had his line of sight changed for a very goofy detail i completely overlooked in the old one ... he is the baby of the group😭#it's very unlikely anyone's shorter than him and since everyone goes from being 1 to 4 years older than him. hes gonna end up looking up😭😭#it would be one thing if the cast was older because puberty and height and stuff but it aint the case here cuz. he's like. 7??😭#so i found it funny he was looking down in the old one then i fixed his line of sight to he looking upwards . which looks goofier on him#really adds to it. the person who killed your whoel family needs to look up to look at you in the eye😭 cuz its a little baby😭😭#the fun thing in comparing the old and new is how my approach in drawing him just. changes completely#back then i did the chibi like approach when drawing him thats it. that was the mindset#now it's “he needs to look more like a bug MAKE HIS EYES TAKE MORE SPACE IN HIS FACE he neeeddds to look like a bug ...”#worked i need to put him in a blender /JOKE JOKE JOKE LIGHTHEARTED JOKE😭😭

if you're comparing bl3 or new tales to the movie I'm gonna need a full essay on my desk about why you think they're comparable or I will take you directly to jail
#borderlands is good and i have yet to see criticism that actually tracks#well much. I've seen a little for new tales which is FAIR!!!#I'm open to seeing criticism of games i like but so much of it is bad faith interpretations of the writing#borderlands is soooo much more fun when you actually go ''#''okay WHY tho'' and actually think about it for five minutes because 9 times out of 10 there's an answer that vibes w canon#or even was set up explicitly by canon#BL3 AND NEW TALES ARE FUN#honestly i think some of y'all just don't like borderlands anymore but refuse to admit it#and only like the old games bc of nostalgia#lol#anyway!#i need to replay new tales so i can defend it more properly#but i have a bad memory so it's hard to come up w specific examples of things done right#which is why i usually turn to my lorekeeper friend LOL#anyway actually I'd replay bl3 over bl2 for gunplay alone. personally.#i find 99% of areas & missions in bl2 obnoxious on replays. it feels like a slog#to me#unpopular opinion alert sry#sylv speaks#dl

was looking through old posts and i'm surprised to see that i seemingly didn't have any commentary on anything in 3 in chapter 7, 8 or 9, the posts related to 3's story go from "my first reaction when i saw yopple-bot was 'i love you. but also you are definitely the boss for this chapter-'" to "i have been in hell all day. hell being bada-bing tower." funny to me cuz those chapters are like, the best ones sdfkljsdfjfsdkjlfsdjkl-
#puppy rambles#yo-kai watch#yw3#i love dukesville. yo-kai watch wild west. though also everyone in bbq talks like they're in the wild west-#i don't blame myself for not having any commentary on hazeltine mansion tbh. it sucks ass. i mean it's kind of fun but like#god is it annoying. i think using the mechanic of switching between nate and hailey for puzzles is a cool idea but. bad execution#very bad execution. it is so annoying#especially the section where you're in the basement and have to use the drill a bunch#... why are there prison cells in the basement anyways??????? i just realized how fucking weird that is-#i'm mostly just annoyed by the dining room puzzle tbh. i KNOW the fucking answers but verygoodsir is an ASSHOLE for some reason#and won't let me choose the FUCKING CORRECT DOORS#3's so fucking amazing tbh. i really wanna replay it soon. don't wanna have to delete a save file though#wish 3 had three save files like 1 and 2. i get why though i mean it's the biggest 3ds game klsfdjfskjfsdjksdf-#i wanna like. actually use my originyan for once. i might just end up using nyases ii instead tho fsdkljjdsfjskd-#i love every chapter in 3 after nate and hailey meet tbh. the bestie moments are so good#though also i don't think it was an amazing idea tbh. it means there's six main characters after that point#sometimes one character will go several cutscenes without talking at all. it's usually buck#he doesn't have any dialogue during any of the key quests in new yo-kai city. which is pretty amusing admittedly#i think the writers just forgot about him or something fslkdjdfslkjfsdljkdf-#i think my favorite thing related to that is like. during the stuff in bada-bing tower komasan and komajiro are there too#but they don't have any dialogue. which makes it seem kind of pointless#i get why they're there plot-wise but like. at that point you should either have them leave before you go to bada-bing tower#(esp since they don't end up in the ufo with everyone else. idr if there's a reason for that there probably isn't-)#(i think i slightly blocked out everything in bada-bing tower cuz it is so grueling)#or just. give them dialogue???#i love 3 and all but it definitely has some problems-#which is why i'm so excited to rewrite it <3 for both of those reasons. i can fix things. and also it's the best game#just. full-stop. not just the best yo-kai watch. i just think it's the best game ever#that title changes based on my current biggest hyperfixation though sfldfsjdkslfdjkfdj-#i think i'd say my overall top 5 is like. yo-kai watch 3. deltarune. ummmm. fantasy life is up there

holding pokemon bw/bw2 in my arms shaking and crying im sorry i didn't know how to appreciate everything you did when i was younger i promise to cherish the risks you took the gameplay elements you brought the story you told now that i know better
#soda offers you a can#ugh. gen5 is peak in so many ways#perfect blend of 3d and 2d. new battle styles. brand new pokedex that forces you to try new things#(more or less) justified definitive editions that progressed The Plot because these guys dared to have it#like im a gen4 (and to lesser degree gen3) stan because my formative pokemon experiences happened there#but gen5 did so much right#i might wanna replay it at some point... i'll have to get a rom for that tho#because despite everything there are no multiple save files on one cart#even to this day. no switch profiles don't count as multiple save files for one game

i really hope this doesnt across as shade, because it isnt. but i think pokemon rejuvenation is an excellent example of why its good practice to have a ton of women in the cast because then you have a variety of women and if one of them feels like shes not treated as well by the narrative then its hard to take it to heart with how well the other women are treated. like, despite how i hate the “dead wife and daughter guy” trope, i’m not annoyed over keta’s arc because there isnt really a trend in this game of female characters dying or suffering for male characters’s development, or if there is, its matched out by the men dying for the women too (hell, arguably keta dies for aelita’s arc LOL) so it doesnt feel targeted. the closest i can think of is ren being manipulated into team xen over melia, but even that is barely even reflected on, and melia isnt even dead so like no fridging actually happened. turns out you can avoid misogynistic trends by just writing a variety of women and dont treat them worse compared to their male counterparts. i dont know why this is so baffling and difficult to replicate to so many fandom geeks and writers in the coming year 2025.
also it means he can write a ton of shitty women and i LOVE shitty women so its a huge win for me
#still cant believe jan got questions and ppl thought it was weird he had a lot of women in the game. like.#is the idea of someone not preferring men so inconceivable that you really think hes gotta have a conscious reason for doing it#(also the one im sorta vaguing is venam sorry djfjfjf shes fine but i dont know what the narratives beef with her is#‘’venam you are a horrible fucking person and you NEED to get better. no citations needed you just fucking suck for some reason’’#it made sense in earlier versions bc venam actively endangered her friends on a whim to have fun in earlier versions of chapter 3#but in the new version she goes down there because her city is in danger. which isnt selfish at all?? it reads like shes just scapegoated by#her friends bc the mission went wrong. and i like her being selfless in that moment but the rest of the game doesnt reflect that change#and continues to call her selfish? like am i missing something? bc her hijinks in chapter 1 arent bad enough for me to consider her a bitch)#echoed voice#shes just sorta rebellious and plays pranks#maybe im just misremembering something but idk#but again. i dont wanna say thats the devs being weird abt young girls being snotty bc saki and amber and erin exist and theyre great#anyways i need to replay rejuv. i miss it. but i think ill wait for the update

I need to draw my rook bc I actually do have some ideas for them I just. Have NOT been in a creating mood idk I'm so tired... Aoughgggh
#crow rambles#i want to write and i want to draw and i want to do a million things and i am doing NONE of them...#insane... crazy even...#like. i have several fic ideas i wanna write (nothing new there) but i am not writing them#i. well i dont have any art ideas now but i WANNA draw but ohh. hard :(#i think i may be having a little creative burnout... give me like four days ill be back on my game#i can never stay away from art for too long. i get itchy if i dont draw for a few days#longest ive went without drawing in the past like. decade. has been a week and that was when i got covid#my ass can NOT put the pencil down#i do want to get some of my rook ideas into fic bc i think it may help me flesh them out a little bit#while i do have a lot of criticisms of dav i kinda wanna stop focusing on them so much#bc i KNOW ive been posting about them alot on here#and while i don't think the game SHOULDNT be criticized (it definitely should) i dont want to be solely negative on it#bc i actually did have fun playing it#and i want to reflect it in my posts lmao#however. i love bitching. i am so good at bitching#its a competitive sport and im winning. top tier bitcher thats me#idk i should probably replay the game bc its always easier to make a protagonist for a dragon age game once you know the plot#but also i want to finish my dao replay... and replay da2... and finish my dai replay i never finished lmao#im at the landsmeet in dao so it shouldnt be much longer. i plan on skipping the golems dlc this go round bc i dont really like it and it#doesnt add very much to the plot imo. everytime i play it i get pissy over the harvester. fucking AWFUL boss#tried killing it on hard mode. once. i am never doing that shit again i HATEEEE that stupid thing#<- by landsmeet i meant i am doing the denerim quests right before the landsmeet. im just before the whole 'anora got locked up' thing#am NOT looking forward to the alienage... idk i really want go get to witch hunt 😭😭

The fact that this is the most I've thought about Double Exposure in the 4 or so months it has been revealed says a lot about how little hype I've been feeling for the game 😭
#bulletbilltime rambling#life is strange#I have a whole rant about why this game was cursed the moment they decided to bring max back#but yeah it took like an hour for the hype to crumble#and a new life is strange game was very high on my wishlist!!#and yet now that it's there... I don't really feel anything#tbf I don't tend to get hyped for new games very much#but like this should have been a slam dunk and it just left me feeling neutral#this felt like a drop on par with announcing Mario Maker 2 or Pikmin 4 and idk. I'm just not feeling it#like I JUST finished replaying Life is Strange 1 and it did NOTHING to make me more excited for DE.#that's just kinda disappointing idk.#it's literally in the 'maybe I'll play it at some point' zone. that feels wrong to me#I genuinely think if we had a new non-Max story I would be more excited#idk how that works but here we are#like fanfics are gonna give me food for years to come with anything LiS1 related#give me something new and interesting!
