Awww thank you

1, 2, 5, 6, 11, 12!

1.Last game you finished - the Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker. My favorite Zelda game! 2.Games you're currently playing - Alice Madness Returns. Finally got a PS3 after hunting for one for a few weeks and boy am I happy to be playing it again. It's one of my favorites

5.Games coming out that you're looking forward to - There was a gameplay trailer forever ago for Black Myth: Wukong and it looked really cool, might finally get a PS5 once it comes out

6.A series you’ve enjoyed since your early days of gaming and still enjoy to this day whether it still has games coming out or is one you return to - The Jak and Daxter series. It's probably my favorite game series ever

11.Do you prefer ‘blank slate’ main characters you make yourself or otherwise project onto, or characters with a set personality and backstory? - Characters with a set personality and backstory. I think it's more interesting that way

12.A character you particularly like in the game you’re currently playing - Alice. She's pretty much mentally broken and suffering trauma, but she'll still stick up for the underdog and help those who need it, it's pretty admirable

Last line tag!!!

I was tagged by @hogans-heroes (beloved mutual whose bikeriders/mota crossover lives rent free in my mind hello--)

I can't post what I was actually working on last because it's an unrevealed exchange fic HOWEVER I think you guys might like this:

It doesn’t take long to get to the stump puller. Ten long strides and he’s there, pushing himself into the gathered crowd. It takes longer to shove past all the hovering men than it did to reach them in the first place, really. Bucky’s irritation rises with every order he snarls for people to move, to make space, to just get the hell out of his way—but then he’s through, and he’s throwing himself toward his best friend, and everything else but Buck Buck Buck vanishes from conscious thought. Because fuck, but Buck isn’t looking so good. “Someone give me a sitrep!” Bucky barks, falling to his knees beside him. He doesn’t spare a single thought to the disgust of kneeling in the mud, not even when the cold starts to seep in through his thin pants. He’s too focused on Buck, eyes darting from his face to his hands to his feet and back again, straining to catch every little detail.

I'm tagging: @skyyguy (sorry i think hogans-heroes tagged you already BUT) @the-backspin-alchemist @charlezarrd @cosmicoceanfic and anyone else who likes this sort of thing >:)

Bothering @the-backspin-alchemist is my favourite past time

[foxingpeculiar]

Alright, per Tumblr’s decision, I started Lies of P.

It’s interesting. I had to get used to the combat, which is a little chunkier than Bloodborne, at least at first. And it’s the first Soulslike I’ve played with the Xbox controller, so that took a little adjustment as well. But, once it stopped throwing tutorial UI windows at me in the middle of combat, I started getting the hang of it.

I played the demo, so the Parade Master wasn’t too challenging since I knew what I was in for. I think I got him in 3. The Mad Donkey took 2 tries, but once I figured out how easily he can be backstabbed, it was over. The crawling electric police fella I got in one with the help of a specter. Then I got to King’s Flame Fuoco or whatever and had to stop for a while.

THIS fucking guy. Like holy shit, what a spike/skill check that is. I pissed through my Star Fragments like it was nothing, so now it’s just me and him. The first phase is manageable. I can mostly read his move set and while there’s a couple that give me trouble—I get caught in the backspin in the middle of one of his 3-part combos a lot and his Fury move hammer slam is a matter of luck based on my position when he starts the animation—but it’s manageable. That fucking second phase though. The ass fire gigantic AOE thing is bad enough, but then stacking the range attacks on that is just batshit. And it becomes a matter of endurance, cos he’s tanky as fuck. I can see the path to victory, I just haven’t been able to execute yet. But ima get ‘im.

The regular enemies aren’t bad—some of the heavies can be a little troublesome, especially that robot miniboss in the factory, but nothing I can’t handle. I need to work more guarding into my playstyle though—I’m relying mostly on dodging at this point, and it’s doing me well so far, but I have a feeling it’s not gonna work for everything.

I’ve been rocking mostly the balance weapon, sometimes bringing out the heavy sword. And boosting Vitality, Vigor, and Motility mostly. Got a couple of cool looking fire weapons in the factory, and after a couple of upgrades, the fire axe is doing me pretty well so I’m gonna rock that for a bit and see how it goes.

The level design is mostly pretty good—it feels like a labyrinth while still guiding you forward in a pretty linear direction, with a couple of interesting diversions. I helped the weeping woman (by lying to her about her baby) and met the Riddler fellow, at least via the telephone, and am curious what other things like that the game is going to throw at me.

Story-wise I’m bemused but intrigued. It sounds like the Alchemists did something to the Ergo that made the puppets go all Westworld on everybody, but I don’t have a full enough picture of what’s going down in Krat yet. That Fox/Cat stalker duo was pretty cool though, looking forward to running into them again.

Further updates as events warrant.

Find the word

How it works: I search for the words prev assigned me in my latest WIP and then choose four words for you to search for in your WIP.

Tagged by @hogans-heroes 👀 My words were run, drip, blowing, and blue!

Run, from a mota whump fic ft. sick!gale:

Swiping his tongue across his bottom lip, Bucky bends his knees, inching his toes forward a little more, and a little more, as if to find the perfect spot on the plate. He’s balanced on the balls of his feet, ready, always ready, to hit that curveball and take off running. Doesn’t matter that there’s a bunk house to his right and a barb-wire fence dead ahead, twenty paces out. Doesn’t matter that as soon as he steps out past that bunk the guns at the tower are going to come swinging around to aim dead-center at his chest, faster than an umpire could declare him out. Center of mass, easiest target—nah. Nah, nah, nah. That don’t matter, not one bit.

Drip, from a batfam whump fic ft. hurt!jason:

For a moment there’s only the sound of the drippy faucet and the creaking of boards overhead as their upstairs neighbor gets up for work. Jason thinks they might be okay—he won’t spook, won’t run, won’t ruin everything, not if Roy just leaves it be. Then, eyes wide and pleading, Roy leans in and, in the kind of voice that people might use to wheedle the ice cream truck driver into giving them a free ice cream sandwich, says, “…not even for one night?”

Blowing, from a different batfam whump fic ft. hurt!jason (i have a brand, okay):

Thinking fast, Jason braces his boots as best he can against the tilting floor, shoving himself up toward the small box bolted to the wall on the other side of the door. It’s for emergencies, a fire-containment system that should, in theory, fill all the cabinets with explosion-dampening foam. It won’t stop the building from its inevitable collapse, he’s well aware of that—but maybe, just maybe, it’ll stop all the military-grade weapons in this room from blowing a crater straight through the middle of the fucking Bowery.

Blue, from a mota smut fic ft. buck, bucky, and croz:

His palms were warm through the fabric of my uniform shirt. All my attention honed in on those piercing blue eyes. He wasn’t hurting me. Not him, not Major Cleven, though his hands were certainly strong enough to, firm as packed earth under an unsteady boot where he had me held tight. Buck, my frazzled brain reminded me—he was Buck, and Bucky was Bucky, and they weren’t here to drag me kicking and screaming to my death. I was okay. I was safe. …Probably.

I'm tagging @cosmicoceanfic @the-backspin-alchemist @charlezarrd @skyyguy @wafflehousepancakes and @em-gray if y'all want to do it! (if anyone else wants to be tagged PLS let me know i love tagging people)

...Hang on forgot words. How about... mad, live, chill, and frame?
