hi penny! this may be #cringe but what’s helped me cope with the Silence living alone has been ur VODs and lately the spiderman 2 streams esp have been a real source of comfort (i am a huge spidey fan)
i just wanted to thank you for this refreshing and honestly just really fun playthrough, your attention to detail and your reactions to all the easter eggs really made the game for me!!!!
and now i wanna spend all my money
not cringe at all!!!! that means the world to me, trust me i’ve been there. i was living alone through most of 2021 and it was like one of the most lonely years i’ve ever experienced. it’ll get better though!! i’m so happy you’re enjoying the playthrough, it’s been such a fun one to make

oc-tober 2024 day 2: new oc
Introducing Peril Parker! They're sort of my go-to superhero self-insert / spidersona character. Their alias is Spider Sprout!
I technically first used them as my MC while playing Penny Larceny last year, and recently created their adventurer fit for my Fields of Mistria playthrough. But I've only ever designed their spidey suit TODAY, so I think they qualify as pretty new! Feels good to finally have it visualised waaaah
#bweirdOCtober#OC-tober#art#artists on tumblr#oc#spiderverse#spidersona#fields of mistria#fom#fom farmer#character design#oc: peril#roobiedoodle#slowing down but still going!#i'm ITCHING to design their civilian fit and loredump + make more FoM comics with them#but thats gotta wait until after this challenge. and then some 😭#but im really happy to get this done at least!

I was rewatching a Spiderman 2 playthrough and while i don't like Peter in general (Miles, my beloved), i 100% appreciate the aro representation with Harry's story.
Like, it was so so good how Peter ACTUALLY put Harry's friendship over any relationship he had, even with MJ and it was clear Harry didnt mind MJ nor he was jealous of her, he was happy to be back in Peter's life and only got jealous that others than him knew Peter was Spidey FIRST.
And I get it, I get Harry. He was stuck for years in that tube and longed for his friends. And then his best friend betrays him and steals the cure for the disease that robbed Harry of his life. And even then, he just wanted a world with his friends.
And the fact that the only "I love you" in the whole story of the game is said between these two friends? And it's Peter who says it??
We need more of that in media. Your friends matter too, dang it

in an effort to combine my two hyperfixations rn, this is the Insomnia Spidey trio's favourite persona games:
Peter loves Persona 3 FES. It's just hard enough that he has to keep notes about how to effectively min max his party. He's not looking up guides, he's building the optimal guides. The man makes Makoto sick on purpose to max his social stats. He's on playthrough 5 bc he refuses to cheat on his girlfriends just to max their social links. The mans has built the guide on how to fill the Persona Compendium. He laughs every time he sees Elizabeth try and go up the down escalator. He stans Akihiko and Mitsuru. He's a little bit of a stealth goth bitch. He has no sense of time management in real life, but you can bet he's got every event planned out in his days in P3 FES. That's not even mentioning the story of a protagonist giving everything he has in service of the people he loves, up to and including his life. No no reason he's mega into that. No reason at all.
Harry Osborn loves Persona 4 Golden like Yuu loves Nanako. This is his baby, that he's nurtured since the day it came out. Sad? Play Persona 4. Happy? Play Persona 4. Anxious? Time for another Persona 4 playthrough! Marie being a melancholic romantic poet speaks to his soul, and you BET he's played this game so many times that he's got the schedule down PAT for maxing out all of his social links the first go around. He keeps saying that every time he plays he finds something new to love about the game, but this is a damn lie, he knows this game front to back to sideways. Marie and Yosuke are his favourite social links.
MJ lives for Persona 2 Innocent Sin + Eternal Punishment. IT'S THE PERFECT YIN AND YANG YOU GUYS. One story leads into another, the story is about futility of high school and how hopeless time feels to the young, and then the oppressive survivalist nature of early adulthood! Min maxing is not her thing, but the mystery that surrounds the story, the characters at the heart of the plot, the idea that capricious gods play with humanity like toys as a part of a bet. All of it speaks to her rebellious nature and anti-authoritarian bent. She also loves that Tatsuya and Maya have the chance to be canonically bisexual. These games harken back to when JRPGs had good story and didn't need schedules to 'min max' your 'friendships.'
BONUS ROUND!!!!
Miles is a fresh face. He's a simple guy with simple needs. Persona 5. He hasn't played P5Royal and he's probably not gonna any time soon. He's played it fully through casually a few times. He loves the characters, he loves the idea of getting back at corruption and hitting the adults that fuck kids over where it hurts. One day he will play Royal and he will get to the second trimester, and it's going to mess him up so bad he's going to gain a hyperfixation. And Peter will see himself in his young protoge all over again, and will ask, "Hey if you want a day-by-day schedule to max out all your confidants and do all the mementos missions I wrote one. I'll send it you." Secretly tho he likes the dancing games the best. These soundtracks hit hard.

Tried to see how many games I could clear to make a trade-in pile for Spidey 2.
God of War 3. Not bad, Kratos is kind of a dick. Also how did Daedalus write him a dying message when he was chained up in the air???
MGSV; about as much fun as the first time I played it... only this time I got around to doing A Quiet Exit and I regret everything!
Guardians of the Galaxy: platinumed this. Was alright... seriously made me want to throw Rocket out an airlock tho.
Transformers Devastation: did all the playthroughs with all the bots, got all the collectibles. Don't think I'm gonna try for Prime mode on this though ^^;. A fun high octane game tho. Might like this more than Fall of Cybertron.

// So last night I finished my playthrough of Spider-Man 2 with 100% mission completion. (Still need a small handful of trophies but no big deal.) What a story! There's a handful of elements that felt a little bit forced, but on the whole, I'm very happy with the tale that was told. They really left everything out on the field. I'll definitely be picking up some new action images for Spidey and Venom. Their face actors, maybe not so much.

Spider-Man: City at War #2 Thoughts
This issue rectifies the key problem of issue #1 by presenting comparatively much more new material that players of the game wouldn’t have already experienced.
We get to actually see Spider-Man battle Swarm instead of merely referencing it as happened in the game. The redesign of Swarm is very slick too, easily the best look for the character ever.
But what sells this story is Miles Morales.
Whilst we get a few missions and moments from Miles’ POV in the game, most of what we know of him stems from what Peter observes.
This issue however is at least half dominated by Miles’ POV and internal thoughts and thus helps flesh him out more. I’ve said before PS4 Miles is better than the original version and this carries through in the comic.
Miles here isn’t just said to be a Spider-Man fan but shown it. He owns Spider-Man comics, toys and merchandise, he and Ganke talk online about Spider-Man whilst watching footage of him fighting Swarm.
I also love how the issue presents a scene that, parent or teenager, you relate to as Miles is engrossed in social media and hears his parents as incoherent noises. This is cruelly, but very effectively, bookended by the issue’s end when Miles again can’t hear or understand what his mother is saying but now it’s due to the suicide bombs set off by Mister Negative.
All in all it is a well done first leg of an origin story for Gamerverse Miles. It also gives me hope that the pattern for this series moving forward will be presenting things from other character’s POVs, that will help bring something new to a familiar story.
Now it’s not devoid of it’s problems. In small and big ways the retelling of the video game’s story kind of fails.
Dialogue and events are changed or cut out. Now to a large extent that is forgivable as those events were written in to be played more than read or watched. So we don’t need for example to have a sequence of Miles making his way through the ravaged rubble of a bomb site. Equally we don’t need to see Spidey and Jefferson work together to investigate a warehouse.
However...these sequences in the game weren’t just devoid of character development. Spidey working together with Jefferson endeared audiences to him making his death hurt. In contrast here they meet each other, swap a joke or two then BAM a truck nearly kills them, Jefferson chases it down and saves Spider-Man.
It’s all very quick and I think written with the intention of you the audience already being familiar with the game.
Which opens up a debate as to whether or not that’s a bad thing.
On one level this game is kind of damned if it does, damned if it doesn’t.
Most people interested in this series would have played, watched a playthrough, or read up on the game and thus know the story, making reading a comic book retelling of it redundant.
But shouldn’t every comic be someone’s first? Shouldn’t it be it’s own entity and thus present the story in a way that is understandable and engaging?
I don’t know.
All I know is...it’s really weird how the comic just skips over the big reveal of Martin Li being Mister Negative.
I also know the art continues to be great by the way.
I think the best way to appreciate this series, if this issue is an example of what we will be getting going forward, is essentially it’s a comic that uses the game’s story as a framing device in order to deliver...not untold tales per se but....untold ‘moments’ from the game’s story.
I’d have preferred they simply tell original stories set before or after the game but I imagine that will encroach on what the game developers may want to do in the future.
Basically...if you liked PS4 Miles I’d recommend this. If you aren’t that into him I still think you could save your money on this one.

I remember seeing you mention it before but I can't find the post anymore.
Are you still planning on streaming Shattered Dimensions/Edge of Time before Spider-Man 2 releases?
Not anymore, no. The original plan was to do a massive Spidey subathon near the end of the month, but after being honest with myself for a bit and really looking at my stream output lately I realized I probably just didn’t have that in me right now. Instead I’ll be doing a select couple Spidey playthroughs, which should still be fun and sufficiently hype us for Spidey 2, but it just won’t be the BIG HUGE WEEK LONG EVENT I was initially planning.

Favorite Character Tag Game
Rules: name your top 10 favorite characters from 10 different fandoms and then tag 10 people
I was tagged by @detriex
Well here we go!
1. Sans Undertale *rimshot* But seriously, I love Sans and will be a irl skeleton before i stop (if i even stop then). expect to see me rise on All Hallow’s eve to don my cosplay and cackle at all you mortals
2. I can’t forget my start in the Onceler fandom, so bring on the Mons. It’s been a long six years since I found him, but I’ll always think he’s great, too.
3. Foxy from FNAF 1. can’t top the original and I love pirates anyway XD but Mangle is a close second.
4. Sebastian from Stardew Valley. He was the one who I married in my first playthrough and I will always giggle over the fact he likes FROZEN TEARS. My precious emo husband.
5. King Candy/ Turbo from Wreck it Ralph. hehehe, i dunno what happened, he just charmed me. And the whole cybrid thing was AWESOME
6. Beelzemon’s evolution line from Digimon. I can’t decide between the hot motorcycle demon and the cute wizard who won my heart when i was little. But they’re in the same line, so I don’t have to ;)
7. Nanu from Pokemon Sun/Moon. He’s amazing. Love the Dark grumpy man. Love his cats. love.
8. Tamatoa from Moana. THIS SHINY CRAB CHANGED MY LIFE. I’m serious. Something about Tama absolutely energized my self confidence, helped me start getting a hold on my anxiety and depression, all kinds of good things.
9. Spiderman from Marvel. He’s my favorite superhero, has been since I was little. Started because of the red costume, but grew as I did because I could feel that awkwardness of Peter and the burden of responsibility of being Spiderman. I felt responsible for saving my mom from my dad, but that was an impossible task for a kid. I felt like I could understand Spidey really well.
10. Batman from DC. Not Nolan Batman, not the stupid edgey muscle head. No, I mean 90′s BTAS Batman. The batman who showed understanding and kindness to the little people, who honestly cared about his city and even the villains in it. The one who paid time after time to try and get Harvey Dent help. The one who said that there were still good people in Crime Alley. That is my Batman and I love him.
and i can’t tag anybody cause i’m a lone wolf and refuse to bend to The Man

New Post has been published on Otaku Dome | The Latest News In Anime, Manga, Gaming, And More
New Post has been published on https://otakudome.com/reviews/marvels-spider-man-miles-morales-review/
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Review
The follow-up to 2018’s Marvel’s Spider-Man arrives with a new lead in Harlem Spider-Man Miles Morales. Taking place a year and a half following the events of the first game, Miles is still struggling to come into his own as The Friendly Neighborhood Spider. Peter is trying to train him while protecting his own backyard in New York City. After dealing with a disastrous encounter with Rhino, Peter entrusts Miles as the sole Spider-Man of New York as he and MJ go out of country on business. Miles must now find his path as Spider-Man without his mentor and a little help from best friend Ganke Lee.
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a 2020 action-adventure game, it is developed by Insomniac and published by Playstation Studios. It is available exclusively on Playstation 4 and Playstation 5.
Editor’s Note: This review contains near complete to complete spoilers for the story of Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Our review of the original Marvel’s Spider-Man and its DLC can be viewed at these links 1, 2, 3.
Playstation’s Spider-Man returns with a new entry that bridges the first game and eventual Spider-Man 2 starring 2011’s Miles Morales.
Two years since the initial launch of universally acclaimed Marvel’s Spider-Man comes Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. As the name suggests the game picks up where the initial left us with Miles Morales having his own run in with a power giving spider bite. Though Miles and Peter have mostly similar spider based powers, Miles has his own original Spidey flair to help him stand out such as having the ability to create an electromagnetic field to get the jump on multiple enemies, his own unique tech and gear compared to Peter’s, and even the ability to turn invisible for a short period of time.
Miles is (mostly) on his own in Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
THE GOOD: 2018’s Marvel’s Spider-Man was a surprise in such a multitude of ways. For one, it was a video game title taking on the form of a beloved fictional character, it was based on a comic book/superhero, and it was a licensed video game. Granted licensed gaming had made a bit of a quality comeback thanks to titles like the Batman: Arkham series, and even some Transformers titles released by Activision just to name a couple. But there was always room for worry in the back of fans’ minds that some kind of controversy was just around the corner of what looked like “a sure thing, and Square Enix dealing with their own troubles following the release of The Avengers this distant worry will always have an unfortunate place in licensed gaming. However Marvel’s Spider-Man ended up being a fantastic game thanks to the renown track record of developer Insomniac. Having tackled several genre from dozens of IP the studio has shown time and time again that they just know how to build good games. Though that’s the core issue with taking on something like a licensed game for the first time or anything for the first time; there’s always room for error. Thankfully, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is not that at least as far as the story. character development, and most of the gameplay is concerned.
Miles Morales grows as a human, man, and hero in Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales opens up with Peter Parker and Miles preparing to protect a prison cargo hosting those responsible for the final events of the original game. After struggling to defeat Rhino and Peter having been beaten Miles raises his courage to fight him lone unlocking a new power in the process aiding in Rhino’s defeat impressing Roxxon R&D Director Simon Krieger. Peter informs Miles that he and Mary Jane will be overseas away on business for several weeks leaving the safety of New York mostly on him. Lacking confidence Peter tells Miles to believe in himself and if he truly needs him he’s there. As Peter departs Miles contests with a new tech savvy gang known as The Underground which seems to be involved in a power struggle against Roxxon’s military grade forces. Roxxon is in the middle of releasing a brand new energy source known as Nuform, but the concoction is dangerous to humans causing them terminal illness. After an initial run in with The Underground, Miles returns home with whom best friend Ganke is currently residing as his parents go on vacation. Miles’ old childhood friend Phin makes a surprise visit to Harlem. Miles asks about her brother Rick who they both looked up to, but she unexpectedly dodges the question. During a rally for Miles’ mother Rio who’s campaigning for Mayor of Harlem The Underground attacks a Roxxon convoy carrying a literal truckload of Nuform on a bridge. During a fight with members of the gang that leads to a battle with The Underground’s head of command The Tinkerer, Miles accidentally learns that it’s Phin when his electric powers causes her armor to malfunction which was shielding her face. Phin retaliates as Miles’ electric powers go out of control sending him into the truck containing Nuform ensuing an enormous explosion that destroys a large portion of the bridge. Roxxon reinforcements arrive and they threaten Miles after he saves citizens from the bridge shocking bystanders. As they’re about to kill a cooperating Miles he accidentally unlocks a new ability that allows him momentary invisibility giving him an opening to escape.
Tweaked gameplay mechanics and it’s story idea give us a potential glimpse in what’s to come for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
While internally battling with what to do in regards to Phin and her connection to The Underground, Miles begins to reconnect with his recently estranged Uncle Aaron who had been emotionally abandoned by the family for unknown reasons. This inadvertently reveals his identity as the Harlem Spider-Man to Aaron and Miles through searching his late father Jefferson’s old police files discovers that Aaron is the Prowler a legendary super enhanced criminal. Revealing the reason behind the family abandoning him, after this discovery Miles has resolve to try to convince Phin to stop what she’s doing with The Underground having earlier learned of Krieger being responsible for the death of her brother Rick who worked with him on Nuform. The energy source making him and his team terminally ill killing the latter, though Rick died trying to protect Phin from an incident at Krieger’s lab. After successfully infiltrating The Underground as himself, Miles learns that Phin plans to blow up Roxxon HQ, but is unaware of the severity of the impact which will destroy New York and much of the surrounding area. Miles reveals his identity to Phin after a pursuit and she reluctantly works with him only for the two to be captured by Krieger. After their escape following a battle with a Roxon tech enhanced Rhino, Phin now consumed with rage sees Miles as her enemy like Krieger and Roxxon & continues forward with her plan threatening his life if he tries to stop her again. Having bonded from a prior Roxxon infiltration, Miles learns that Aaron has returned as the Prowler and is captured by him. The two fight after Aaron fails to convince him to stop worrying about New York and to only focus on himself. Miles beats him and continues his chase of Phin while evacuating the city with Ganke and his mom once he tells them both everything that happened. A war breaks out between The Underground & Roxxon in Harlem, but Miles and a reformed Prowler stops them. Miles finds Phin at the science museum that held their award winning project which she plans to use to aide the explosion plan as an emotional blow to Miles. The two fight as Miles tries to explain the issue surrounding her plan but she refuses to listen. As the explosion begins Phin finally realizes that Miles was right. but he’s injured from some of the impact. Phin helps him absorb the Nuform. but Miles can’t contain it for long which endangers Harlem from the blast release. Phin uses Underground tech to fly Miles into the sky so he can release the blast safely. but at the cost of her own life. Miles’ identity is revealed to the citizens of Harlem, but they shield him from being shown on TV as a news crew shows. He places his and Phin’s award on their favorite church as a tribute. Now brimming with confidence as a hero a returned Peter is proud of all that Miles has accomplished while he was away. Norman Osborn demands that his son Harry be “awoken” despite warnings from Curt Connors in an end credits scene.
Miles Morales has moments where he can be playable as a citizen of Harlem.
If you were one of the lucky few that managed to come into possession of a Playstation 5 and an even luckier few who as of yet have not experienced the 2018 Spider-Man entry, first I commend & envy you, second I highly suggest playing ‘Miles Morales’ after a playthrough of the remaster. The unique perspectives of both titles combined in a single sitting make the $70 price tag more than worth it (not that I’m all too thrilled about a price hike for games). And ya know the 4K, ray tracing, whatever I guess that too. Anyways, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is from a basics standpoint a lot like the original. You’ve got the Arkham like combat, the fantastic swinging, and the finishers. Just like in the last game there’s a skill tree which you use to upgrade Miles with skill points. These range from attack, tech, and support skills such as increased invisibility meters and finisher storage counts. Miles’s electric venom powers add solid combo chains for a higher score and opportunity to gain finishers for tougher enemies. Eventually you can unlock an explosive form of the attack which is great for dispersing large groups of enemies. You’ll use tech for support and to get the jump in enemies like before, but Miles has unique tech like electric bombs which can stick to electric panels and if you know how to use them they can act as great distractions that lead to a large deal of damage to several enemies.
The Tinkerer threatens all of New York in her quest to end Roxxon.
Side quests return with most of it being randomized events spread throughout the world map and some minimal story based events. The “defeat enemy base here” side quests return just skinned with The Underground and Roxxon. New to the game are the scavenger hunt and time capsule quests which have you finding mementos left behind by Miles’ late father Jefferson and his friend Phin. Also new are the audio tunes which Miles’ Uncle Aaron tasks him with finding to complete a track he and his father were working on together using the sounds of New York for the song. Some quests will unlock Miles unique skills or costumes in the game to dress the Harlem Spider-Man as you see fit.
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales continues the growth of two young superheroes sharing the same title.
THE BAD: An unfortunate setback to Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is that it often times feels a little too close to Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse story wise. It’s the curse of origin stories, odds are the origin has already been told and there isn’t much you can do to differentiate it from it’s core. There’s a handful of glitches present at least on the PS4 version. One I experienced in particular was during the mission where Miles had to restore power to his apartment complex. A bug prevented me from completing the mission and I was stuck there wondering what the hell was happening for over an hour. So far it’s the only major bug I’ve experienced, though others have reported more.
Like Peter before him Miles struggles with balancing his hero/citizen life in Harlem, New York.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a excellent appetizer to the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Keeping what made the original special all while giving itself a way to standout is always the way to go with sequels such as these and ‘Miles Morales’ more than delivers on that end. While shorter than the original game the quality isn’t effected by the bit sized entertainment. I played on the second hardest difficulty of the game Spectacular and was able to clock in about fifteen to twenty hours of play which is slightly more than similar title Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. The sheer jump in a quality gaming experience from the spin-off even with it’s limited time left me craving for more of Insomniac’s Peter Parker and Miles Morales.

Review Game Insomniac’s Spider-Man
Marvel's Spider-Man officially has a release date, and with that reveal has come plenty of new information on the webslinger's next adventure.
Game Informer's cover story and supplementary interview with Creative Director Bryan Intihar dives deep into the opening of the game, while also offering plenty of new story details. If you've already read up the newest updates regarding the game's unlockable costumes and lack of microtransactions, check out what else GI's story has revealed.
Mr. Negative and Kingpin have already been revealed as villains appearing in Spider-Man. And while it's almost certainly not the extent of the full rogues gallery, GI's time with the game hinted at or showed off via gameplay another handful of villains.
Shocker sporting some Iron Man-esque armor appears as part of a sidequest. And the game's introductory sequence, which includes a look at Peter Parker's apartment, hints at Rhino, Scorpion, and Vulture at least having had a presence in New York City thanks to Daily Bugle clipouts.
While not part of the main game, the already confirmed DLC will feature new story content. The first of three planned DLC packs involves Black Cat.
Play now Jelly Jumper
Hot new Apple Worm
While Insomniac has gone to great lengths to create a realistic version of New York City, featuring iconic landmarks and the city's familiar layout, some liberties have been taken. That rings particularly true for fictional buildings that hint at the wider Marvel universe.
The Wakanda Embassy, Avengers Tower, and Sanctum Sanctorum are all featured in Marvel's Spider-Man, however Insomniac would not confirm or deny whether any of the characters associated with these buildings feature in the game at all.
And so while Spider-Man will obviously focus in on Spidey's specific world, it's clear Insomniac has built out a world that acknowledges the larger Marvel universe.
Insomniac made a splash with its new design for Spider-Man — a large, white spider symbol adorned on his suit instead of a familiar, black spider design. According to GI's playthrough, the more iconic suit is what Spider-Man is wearing at the very outset of the game.
The white suit's development is tied to the story, so Insomniac doesn't reveal much to GI about how it comes to be. The only tease the developers gave was that the white spider suit may be tied into Peter's scientific pursuits.
No Balloons, But Plenty of Other Activities
Marvel's Spider-Man is not going to feature a well-known sidequest from the beloved Spider-Man 2 video game — hunting down balloons. But, the city will still be packed with optional activities.
One example includes Spidey scouring the city for backpacks he had previously webbed up, taking down Kingpin-controlled outposts, stopping random crimes, which can even take you into the interiors of buildings, and taking photos of gold cats for Black Cat.
And Taskmaster also appears, doling out...well, tasks to Peter in the form of bombs placed throughout the city Spidey must defuse. Completing these tasks earns Peter crafting materials that can be used for gadget upgrades.
Spider-Man can also interact with New York City's citizens as their friendly neighborhood hero. Spidey can high five, take selfies, and point finger guns at passersby.
Peter and MJ
The game's story takes place over the course of a few weeks, according to Intihar, but much of what happens in those weeks still remains a mystery.
While we already knew Mary Jane Watson is in the game as a playable character, Intihar seems quite excited for players to experience her part in the story.
"Mary Jane is going to surprise a lot of people in this game. A lot of people," Intihar told GI.
What we do know is she's aware of Spider-Man's true identity, but she and Peter are currently not romantically involved.
The Homecoming Approach to Uncle Ben
On another story note, Intihar was adamant you won't be seeing the death of Uncle Ben in Insomniac's Spider-Man outing.
"Hell no," he adamantly said to GI about the possibility. This is of course the route Spider-Man: Homecoming took with the third big-screen version of Peter Parker.
