Me trying to show my sweetie an amusing video on tumblr dot com:

Pops video into full screen. Video plays immediately and cannot be stopped.

Attempts to scrub backwards.

Video somehow has not yet hit the end to just let it go around the horn.

Attempts to scrub backwards.

Me: Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck. It’s not worth it.

Closes video.

game regis about beauclair: “this land has never seen such unspeakable evil…”

book regis in beauclair: mmm rosół 🍲 😋👍

#imagining the hanza sitting bored as fuck around that kitchen like '.......... wanna make some soup'#cahir: 'yeah but... what with' | chickens under feet: peck peck peck at milva's boots | milva:#sorry i rewatched the blood and wine trailer (the icewine version of it) so that's why this is on my mind #also going through blood and wine game files and seeing all the vampire Beasts etc #reminded me like damn beauclair really did get sacked by vampires in the game. also anna henrietta had an evil twin #but i forgive it because it's video game <3 #the worst part about beauclair is anxiety about fate. how do you make a video game about anxiety about fate #you don't. you put a bunch of insane fucking vampires in it instead and then give the player bombs to throw at them #the elbow-high diaries

WHERE is your language acquisition #programming. sorry the linguistics language and culture attempted to jump out there & i am not conveying what i want to say at ALL. anyway #juraj's slow descent into madness as u can SEE him visibly getting more & more over it & done is my roman empire. like he's having fun #at first he's laughing 'what is this whiskey?' & i AM thinking that toothy little grin at arber with the jerkoff hand motion about the mapl #syrup only taking a few minutes to come (out) was a dig. lord knows arber deserved it with his shorts pulled all the way up like GOD the me #you put here to wear slutty little 3" shorts live in cold CANADA and have to cover up their thigh tattoos. what a travesty. and the amount #of THIGH in this video i- biting. arber's hairy legs slaf's manspreading more as he gets frustrated & arber teases him i. and DAVID????#on a completely different note cayden with his face covered is giving me INTENSE brainworms i have the most unhinged storylines for him #AND THE BRYNDZOVE HALUSKYYYY everything past 2:00 is gold. david's tired sighs. slaf hating it here. arber having the time of his life #'taste' 'that's not an advantage' DAVID kill him.

i want to put link in isat. im sure hed do fine. the heros spirit endures

#my post #i was gonna say like. 'probably not the worst thing the heros spirit has endured.' but actually #man. idk. ppl like to say majoras mask is super dark. i think bc ur constantly faced with tragedy in a very direct way #zelda is usually slightly less in your face abt that stuff. mm crosses the line for that juust enough for it to be Particularly Notable #loz generally isnt afraid to address the Horrors. or at least acknowledge them #i dont mean this in a 'mm is darkest zelda' or whatever kind of way. (see jacob gellers video 'every zelda is the dsrkest zelda')#i mean it as like. mm is just louder about it #yknow. but is mm is speaking loudly then. if u put isat next to loz then it would drown mm out quite easily #in large part bc the story is just told differently #the characters are much more expressive in every way. bc the story is being told through expression #whereas loz tells stories specifically via player action #if that makes sense?#loz focuses on the journey. isat focuses on how the journey feels #not to mention links permanent 😶. which definitely influences this #honestly link as a general character (tho especially botw link) is very similar to siffrin. im not gonna try to put that into words rn but #maybe another time #anyways. if isat were told more like a zelda game i think it would be along mm and botw #i say those 2 specifically bc time loop and death and loss. lol #if the reverse were true. if loz ganes were told more like isat. then god dude i dunno #i might go through the plots of each and measure out how much i think the bitch(link) is Going Through It sometime #not rn. but sometime #initial gut thoughts tho. i think probably oot sksw la andd. possibly ww. wojld have similar emotional impact #sksw especially. have you seen his face when he sees zelda in the crystal thing. god #id say botw too but tbh. i kind of think its emotional impact is best as is.#it leaves itself a lot of room to breathe. you can rlly like. think abt it.#man these tags are off topic from the original post. eh its my post who care

fuck offff just cried watching a still wakes the deep playthrough

#and we like. had already seen a video essay on it so we knew what happens #and yet. it still hits so hard.#and like 70% of that is the voice actibg god all the vas are incredible #like. there was so much emotion.#obviously the narrative and script were a huge part of building the characters #but it could have easily been brought down by the voice acting #yeah. such an incredible game #like the story is SO GOOD and all the characters feel so real and the setting and environment just. agh #caz's va especially was incredible just as a character caz is amazing #especially as a player character like he is regularly audibly scared out of his mind and just trying to survive and keep those close to him #alive #and every single time he fails you feel for him #idk man just such a genuinely incredible game #and so refreshing compared to like gimmicky horror ya know?#the horror of swtd is watching people you know and have close bonds with succumb to their worst traits and become violent #and of fucking up and not being able to fix it like FUCK the part where caz's first daughter is born and he says he'll never leave #her or suze like. fuuuuuck #confluence.txt

people who don't normally read sci fi have such bad taste in sci fi 😭

#which makes sense because they're there despite having no attraction to what makes sci fi sci fi #but it's funny because they're always so excited to give their recommendation #and it's always like. ready player one or bobiverse or the locked tomb or something else horrendously tacky #like it's either awful marvel style quipping or something painfully twee that thinks it's deeper than it is a la Becky Chambers #and you have to try to be nice while they rave about some of the worst writing a mainstream publisher has put out #that only counts as “sci fi” bc it's in space or whatever #the other option is they like some military shit linked to a video game about how some genocide is necessary #don't get me wrong I read mostly bad sci fi and I'm aware good sci fi is rare #but it's like you had taco bell exactly once and someone's like 'any good Mexican restaurant recs in this town?'#and you just HAVE to respond with how good your dorito taco was and it's the best Mexican food #and in this scenario you don't even know enough to say “hear me out” you don't know other restaurants even exist like it's never occurred #to you to look and after that one dorito Taco you never had any interest in having Mexican food ever again #and yet. if someone is talking about Mexican food you just have to bring up you ate a Dorito taco one time and everyone should have one #how it's the best Mexican food in the world #also tumblr stop saying books are good just cuz there are lgbt people in them challenge #one time i asked for ppls fav sci fi nobody's heard of and fully half the replies were Becky fucking Chambers btw

the enshittification of youtube

can't find any old videos

what's the fucking point

#redglyphs #so many yt-to-mp3s that i have to carefully hoard forevermore #but the worst is the ones that were from my dance era #bc i can't find any of the corresponding performance videos #they only live on in my memory #main stacks clue mix was so fucking cool #so main stacks is a dance group from uc berkeley #clue mix (idk what the actual name was; i have the actual mix from an ex-member of the group) was a set of choreo based on the game 'clue'#each choreo represented a player character and at the end there was a 'murder'#idk it was just super cute #but this also leads me to think to that post on fandom playlists #i have been carefully curating one for tpac+hlwi timkorv bc why not #the genre gradient is so difficult

Me vs FF14 part... 2?

It's taken me pretty much three full days of running from cutscene to cutscene. But I've finally reached Heavensward.

And like... on some level? I'm kind of offended?

Like, a part of me genuinely wants to replay the entire game from the start "as something else" (different main-class, different race, different starting-area, whichever), because the dungeon-queuing system is actually really fun when you start to Understand it.

As in, FF14 has somehow made an MMO that has almost eliminated the feeling that it is a level-grind? Partially? It's turned the whole thing into a surprisingly comfortable level of (limited, but genuine) social interaction.

To the point where even someone who isn't obsessively grind-focused like me, can genuinely enjoy themselves. Just queuing up for dungeons, Hunting some bounties, and-...

And then FF14 has so many fucking quests that it literally chokes the life out of the gameplay.

As an example, one of their biggest dungeon-draws (bcs high rewards) is a quest that almost everyone hates playing. Because doing that dungeon means watching literally eighteen minutes of unskippable cutscenes.

And that's with them having reduced the amount of cutscenes in that dungeon, because the players complained so much about them.

Like... I'd be perfectly happy replaying the game from the start with a different character, even knowing that leveling isn't some kind of pain-free thing. But the thought of having to restart the fucking Main-Quest? Of having to spend literal days just running back-and-forth to cutscenes?

I'm currently feeling a bit burned-out as a result of the binge I went on to get here, but I'm pretty damn sure that I wouldn't replay this fucking thing even if you paid me for it.

(And, of course, Heavensward also has a Main-Quest continuation that you have to follow. And now I'm not even allowed to fly everywhere to cut down on the "running back-and-forth"-part of my complaints. Not until they arbitrarily allow me to discover flight for the new areas, by going through even more of the Main-Quest.)

(Not to mention that now I have to go back and do even more Class-quests, with their own cutscenes, in order to unlock a bunch of skills.)

(I'm very fond of the "the church is evil because it doesn't let you fuck dragons"-meme, and I'm very much seeing it. But like... come the fuck on. Why is this MMO a feature-length movie-series? Why can't I just play the game and have fun?)

#and yes. i'm very much aware that ''you can do anything with one character''#bcs everyone gets one (1) race-changing potion. and classes can be switched out super-easily. but that's not the point.#video games #ff14 #rants #personal stuff #also like... i'm unemployed and waiting for my classes to begin a few weeks from now. i have INFINITE free-time.#and i still feel like ff14 is actively trying to waste my time by ''telling a story'' that should be in a single-player game.#... actually. that'd explain a lot. did the writers of this game learn to write from single-player games?#is that why there are so many cutscenes and minor characters to constantly juggle? did nobody tell them that they were making an MMO?#(the feeling of going ''all-in'' on the genuineness in the cutscenes even when it's corny as shit? good.)#(being forced to sit through cutscene after cutscene instead of actually playing the game? bad.)#like... even just the dungeon-cutscenes? to some degree it's expected that you SHOULD skip them? bcs you're making others wait?#(and during the Raids. that means outright being left behind. ain't nobody stopping for anyone.)#so you're losing a massive bit of story-telling. bcs it's trying to tell that story in the WORST place.#it's a good story? i guess? but it's so fucking inconvenient to _play the game around_ that it feels more like a chore than an adventure.#and in a single-person game? i think it'd be great. maybe not entirely my kettle of fish. but genuinely good. but as an MMO?#like i get that a lot of it has been added onto it over the span of YEARS and that ppl playing it since launch would've been desperate #for new content. despite how the amount of content seems incredibly overwhelming for new players.#but jesus fuck. at least let people wanting to start a new character to just... skip the fucking thing? they've already seen it once.#* nevermind. they thought of that. they're selling ''story-skip''-potions for 10$. wow. just... wow.

getting around to watching some Deltarune because I've never been as into it as Undertale (WHERE IS GRILLBY IS HE OKAY) and boy am I not excited to find out people have found another 10 year old to blame and scapegoat for the choices the person playing the game makes in the bad times route.

#chara is not evil they are 10 years old and also dead and also wasn't the one mashing the fight button the whole game #similarly getting VERY offended on behalf of kris watching the snowgrave route #'i think kris is a bad kid' they are a video game character being puppeted to purposefully make the worst choices by the player #fuck off. at least gender them correctly person i am specifically watching right now #they're DIRECTLY COMMENTING that the game gives you so many outs #buddy it's not the character's fault at that point #how many times can toby fox do this before people stop deciding it's the 10 year olds who are to blame actually
