I need to finish Half Life 2 at some point but I’m on those levels where you get temporary human NPC followers and they keep either blocking your way or getting themselves physically stuck behind doorways somehow and therefore dropping out of your squad count when you walk too far away and also they keep stepping on landmines and whenever they die i feel actual pang of guilt as if me getting good at the game could’ve prevented their death situation of ‘made a last second mad and senseless sprint directly into a grenade that the enemy threw’. Although probably one of the funniest situations that had occurred for me so far with this is a combine soldier busted open the door and started wildly firing at us, and my NPC squadmate just calmly closed the door, which stopped it

[waywardstation]

If you're talking about the Mamoswine that likes to hang out around near Avalugg's legacy; I was procrastinating on plot stuff and tried to catch that Mamoswine, and that's when I learned that NPCs don't really move until you do stuff. Because I hadn't gotten the everlasting ice, Gaeric refused to move, even as a mamoswine was trying to kill me.

(I actually managed to get Gaeric to block a Double Edge using his hitbox lol)

Indeed I am!

And ha! Gaeric’s muscles are for more than just show; he can stop a massive alpha mamoswine in its tracks by just standing there; wasn’t even intimidated!

And Gaeric blocking a double edge with his body is the funniest thing. He’s eaten so many swordcaps his muscles have turned to steel.

in regards to all the issues with MCC 14 im gonna bring up how unspeakably scuffed MCC 7 (july) was. focusing on the SBI v DT issues, which to preface both teams were tryharding because they were told it would be the last time they were allowed to team (at least for a little while) and they both wanted to leave with a win.

purple - dream, george, sapnap and sylvie

orange - techno, wilbur, phil and seapeekay

battle box - this started off with horrible lag, to the extent that it was unplayable for some teams, but they didn’t reset it until like round 4 or 5. additionally, they paused it before they decided on a reset, and a tonne of teams started to accidentally team kill with the power-up TNT packages, including wilbur killing CPK and techno going >:/ eventually they reset the whole round to try fix the lag, voiding the points from the first half meaning some players did better than they would have and others did Notably worse, like dream’s team who lost against a lot of teams they’d beat in the first rounds.

side note, but MCC 7 battle box scares the hell out of me just because wilbur blew up 2 of their teammates later on in the new rounds bc of Miscommunication (he asked if it would get them extra points by TNTing them at the end bc he got some when he team-killed in the pause, and techno was talking to himself and said ‘yea’ at the same time about something else), made worse bc it was against purple and dream got the points (although Techno lived and placed the wool so they still won) and then they spent the rest of the rounds arguing, with BOTH OF THEM going D:< and phil had to tell them to shut up. either way, it worked out well for orange, winning 8-1 while purple suffered, only winning to 5-4 largely bc of the reset. either way the girls were fighting and Oh My God it freaks me out lmao

build mart! not exactly a broken bit or a glitch but i feel like it would be POORLY RECEIVED in this current mcyttwt climate. basically orange had always been infamously bad at build mart, coming 8th last tournament, and were strategising on how to win. the night before, wilbur offhandedly mentioned getting every block so they didn’t have to rush back and forth, but this was unrealistic because there were too many blocks. but local tryhard (affectionate) technoblade took this and RUN, watching 6 hours of footage across every MCC vod to make 4 shopping lists, divided into sections for each player to collect, that had the exact number of each block needed to complete any of the 26 possible builds, and they came 1st place as a result. the funniest thing is they would have done even better if the timer wasn’t reduced from 15mins to 12mins, which was probably done bc of their complaining. the really fun part about this is techno went to boast about it to dream at the end, telling him he’d went through all 26 builds, only for dream to interrupt him “there’s 27, actually” BECAUSE HE DID THE SAME THING HAHAH!!! at least something similar, including some strange Java programme? idk but their strategy didn’t work nearly as well, with their team coming in 6th (from 9th last tournament)

the real drama this time though, was audience takeover! this was the first MCC with serious issues around the takeover; before dream joined in MCC6, it was whatever techno chose, and since they both chose battle box for MCC 6 it didn’t make a difference. but this time they divided votes. dream wanted HITW and techno wanted rocket spleef. after a harsh twitter poll, HITW won with 47% to Rocket Spleef’s 43%. now at this point i think the way that voting worked was that there’s 50 NPCs in the dome, each representing 2% of the vote. but because of how many people voted and how close the polls had been, the system glitched and gave techno’s team the win in rocket spleef. THIS WENT DOWN AS POORLY AS YOU COULD IMAGINE WITH THE DREAM TEAM, who had never played rocket spleef before. the admins paused the game and tried to swap it over, but it was not in the code for them to actually be able to swap to a new game, so they had to just play on. as a result, Dream’s team fell by A Lot, and they got pretty mad about the whole situation, especially given the fact that battle box had already been reset at this point, so the fact that they couldn’t reset rocket spleef got them pretty mad, w dream genuinely threatening to log at one point

that’s the last of the Major scuffs, i think there were some minor bugs too, like an arrow pick-up glitching in dodgebolt that meant phil died (which was Unfortunate because they lost 2-3) but in the end of the day guess what!!? it doesn’t actually matter! because it’s a non-profit for-fun MINECRAFT tournament!! any streamer that gets toxic tends to immediately apologise, and the discovery of bugs and exploits helps them get patched to never happen again! the build mart block randomiser gets added, they changed the coding of the audience vote to be shiftable! and ‘let’s just play rocket spleef’ becomes a great reoccurring joke among the MCC community

the noxcrew are amazing game developers, and even the breakers myof games should be treated like fun because in the end of the day It Does Not Really Matter :) i know we’re all chill on tumblr but i just want to reinforce how good MCC is okay and i did it with this big long post about how scuffed it can be, but the important part is how it improves and how we as a community react

"all the questions :)"

Oh dear here we go

1: Which TES games have you played? In order: Skyrim, ESO, Oblivion, and Morrowind :')

2: Favorite TES game They all have their own charm, but Morrowind broke my heart the hardest and has the nicest soundtrack, so it has a special place in my heart now (╥﹏╥)

3: When and how you got into TES I used to watch playthroughs on YT in 2013 and that's how I found out about Skyrim...then I played it myself in 2014 and became addicted ever since lol

4: Favorite race I've always loved and played Argonians, but Morrowind just has this special way of making u love dunmer even tho they're kinda insufferable :')

5: Favorite province M...m..rororowwind..... MUSHROOMS...I love

6: Favorite character Nerevar has my heart forever, I can’t describe how In Luv I am with him... Voryn and the Dagoth bros are all precious, and the adoring fan is a delight I have way more but these three have been on my mind the most recently 👌

7. Favorite faction Usually the dark brotherhood questlines are really nicely written... I have yet to actually join any factions in tes3 tho oops. Should probably do that

8: Which province you would like to live in uhHH if I’m a plain ol’ human then Cyrodiil probably suits me best, tho I don’t really wanna live there :’) I just think that’s where the least deadly Things are LOL

9: Which deity/deities would you worship? I’m not big on worship u_u I will be ~respectful~ to any deity but that’s it

10: Favorite Divine I never had one! I haven’t looked much into them (• ▽ •;)

13: Favorite dungeon I'm biased, but I practically /live/ in eso’s Forgotten Wastes public dungeon

14. You have awakened and you are a Cliff Racer. What do you do? Just hang out in the sky✌️

15: What would you do if you contracted vampirism? Actually that wouldn't be too different from what I'm already like... my life is literally just me living in a dark hole with my windows boarded up to block out the sun entirely ‘cause I hate that Thing. I’d still want a cure tho... :’)

16: What would you do if you contracted lycanthropy? HONESTLY that would be cool for a while I WANT TO BE FERAL... But I wouldn't want to be one forever u_u

17: Are there any characters you have crushes on? If so, who? NEREVAR. Oh GODS I've NEVER been this romantically invested in a character before, especially not a guy who barely has any canon appearances!! But uGH my heart!!! I love him sm...😭😭😭

Vivec 21: Favorite main quest I can't say I have one... Morrowind's main quest broke my heart, I couldn't finish it. Actually I never finish the main quests... because then I feel like my (in-game) life becomes pointless and senseless...with no purpose 😔 I prefer just leaving the main quests unfinished and adventuring forever instead 22: Favorite side quest THERE'S SO MANY... yet I can’t think of any right now ( ꈨຶ ˙̫̮ ꈨຶ ) 23: Most frustrating experience in a TES game The Glitches™️ And also. having to kill ppl to progress a quest -_- 24: Funniest experience in a TES game Morrowind had some really funny written moments. The guy who had his pants stolen... fantastic 25: Most badass moment in a TES game Honestly, anytime the dragonborn yells at something to defeat it LOL just the concept of the dragonborn itself is so funny/cool 26: Saddest experience in a TES game My first depressing experience was when all of skyrim's dark brotherhood members got rekt lol.. little 15 y/o me kept reloading saves frantically trying to save the characters without knowing it was impossible :') AND tHEN I PLAYED Morrowind this year and it destroyed me. The tragedy of it all makes me cri like a fool (fanfic especially) but I’m getting better at dealing with it u_u imagining that dagoth ur is really smexy/pretty helps to ease the pain LOL 27: Favorite area/region Vvardenfell is home. I love the funky plants!!!!!! 28: Least favorite character Idk just general Bastard characters that are written as unlikable I guess 29: In-game food item you want to eat the most Saltrice because. rice is life (also it took me forever to realize the word is just salt+rice together and that it’s probably not pronounced ‘saltris’ _(:3 」∠)_ 30: If you could try skooma, would you?

Any of the what 33: Favorite class to play For eso it's Nightblade, for oblivion and skyrim it was stealth archer (+ daggers dual wield in skyrim), until I discovered magic and now I'm hooked.....

[squishy-rogues]

(for the dnd ask meme) question #9?

What’s the funniest thing someone’s said in a game you’ve played in?

That’s a hard one. Off the top of my head:

1) In a Numenera game with my brothers, the first game I really played in, the party got separated (in a much longer story than I’ll tell here). I ended up in a portable shelter in the desert, and another player was raiding houses in town while the other two of us were being chased by an angry mob. The player in town found my shelter in the desert, and decided to claim it for himself.

Him: I make a flag out of the lingerie I found and plant it on the roof.

Me: (coming out to survey the morning) What the fuck are you doing to my house?!

2) In dialogue I won’t go into, my brother’s second character in that campaign was an assassin that got mistaken for a dominatrix by an NPC, played by my oldest brother as GM.

3) In our current Pathfinder campaign, Fey’s character is a kitsune with a baby. A new PC, upon being introduced to her, says “Oh, is this your puppy?”

4) These things I’ve submitted to @yourplayersaidwhat

i warmed up to estiniens character a lot lately since they started making him the funniest man in the world and like a skittish wild animal. when the scions are trying to locate him so they can try to recruit him and all they know is hes somewhere in ishgard and perpetually scurrying and theyre like EVERYBODY BLOCK AN EXIT SO HE DOESNT ESCAPE. the time you can have him show up to wols bedroom and hes like “good, youre alone. :) the twins were trying to rope me into a social situation” and then literally jumps out wol’s window to escape. the time the scions go on their first unofficial adventure together after their public ‘disbanding’ which is supposedly an epic treasure hunt but it turns out you were all just breaking into vrtra’s house and killing all the security constructs he’d had set up to protect it and vrtra’s like “... i’ll get new security constructs to replace the ones you guys destroyed” but then later when you all reenter that vault you can talk to estinien and hes like “i thought we destroyed all the constructs the first time we came through but there were more this time. so i destroyed them all” and when you talk to other NPCs they were like We tried to say something.
