I don’t need no god damn videos from TikTok showing up on my Instagram or anywhere else of stupid kids buying the most expensive skincare available bc they think they need high percentage retinol at the ripe old age of 10

So, Simon’s Quest gets the mythical fandom status of being “completely unbeatable without a guide”, but I don’t really agree. My source: I never had to use a guide to beat it. I looked up a couple things like the number of days for each ending and not a whole lot else.

I think maybe a lot of people go into it with the idea they’re going to get the best/fastest ending on their first try. While you definitely can technically beat it like that, it’s very much a game that wants to you play it a couple times. It has three endings all with faster times AND it was a game that came out during the era of renting things: it was made to be replayed! Or at least just generally goofed around in—

To be honest, I had more trouble figuring out the blue crystal puzzle than the red. Just having the white crystal out makes platforms appear default, no other input needed. So when seeing a massive expanse of water and no effect just holding out the blue crystal, I thought I was going the wrong way and started trying to fight enemies I could not on the other side of the map 💀💀💀. It took playing it and failing a couple times before I made Simon crouch at the water in confusion and it worked lol. So later on in the game at the infamous Deborah Cliff, I first whipped at the cliff a bit and then crouched because that had worked before. First time I played the game I didn’t even know the hint books existed so I never looked for them. It was an absolutely bizarre experience when I eventually one, especially cause I accidentally pressed a button through the text and missed it 💀💀💀.

But yeah, the gameplay is just trial and error mostly. Talk to a guy, take his advice, turns out he’s lying, oh well that’s known for next run then. Go to a mansion, find out there’s no oak stake seller in this one, damn, guess next time I should get two at that other mansion. And sometimes it’s not even entire runs of the game, if you get in a bad spot, you can reset and try it over :3! It took me a good handful of tries to get the slowest ending, then about exponentially less to get the other two—

All this being said: I can see why a lot of people don’t like this kind of gameplay. In certain contexts, I don’t like having to replay a whole game just to get a better ending (Portrait of Ruin Stella and Loretta battle is kicking my ass but I can’t get myself to just get the bad ending and replay it ughhggg)! It’s grindy, it’s doing the same thing over again, and most people will just prefer being able to straightforwardly beat something. I just like the game cause I saw it as one big puzzle to solve and also enjoyed the grinding and the playing over and over the same way one might like a rogue-like or something like Vampire Survivors if that makes sense???

But yeah anyway whole point is that I didn’t find it to be an unbeatable game. It’s obtuse, it’s vague, it’s mean, and some of that was unintended, but a good 90% was. It’s a weirdly unforgiving but very forgiving game— like it purposefully leads you off track and makes you waste time, but it’s still a game that wants you to beat it—!!!

So, anyway, I’ve been told I should play Dark Souls— 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Seriously the magpod fandom has beat the twink joke into the ground. I stopped thinking it was funny three years ago. Learn to appreciate fat characters and women now, I am no longer asking politely

Some guy was saying slurs at me cause he thinks I cut him off (I may have, and he is as assuming I was Hispanic) and I was tired so I just told him to “shut the fuck up and go back to your shift at chick-fil-a cracker” then he called me the N word and frankly you can’t really out do that

[supertransural]

this is the only thing they could find to promote it i am dying

[rinnsverse]

did I delete Genshin and redownload hsr bc I miss it? yes

and did i immediately use my newfound stellar jades like the mindless gambling addict I am? yes

did I get argenti? no since my hsr luck is absolute dog water but I got yanqing; the next step is to get his father

Women who are like “I never made any special demands of my husband or made him go out and buy the foods I was craving when I was pregnant—being pregnant is a choice, not an illness!” Are such pick-me’s I can’t stand it

If I was Hoyoverse I simply would’ve made the banners better.

Hot take but it does make sense for Kaveh to not be on the banners. I wanted the Haikaveh banner too, but if the 4 stars chosen are meant to compliment the 5 stars, then putting a 4 star Dendro DPS with a 5 star Dendro DPS doesn’t make sense.

If I were Hoyoverse, I would have chosen Sethos, Thoma, and Cheveruse.

Because if Clorinde is made to sway players towards an Overload team, then Cheveruse is the Overload support. Sethos is the new 4 star, so there’s no negotiating his presence. Thoma is a pyro shielder, which is good to put on a dps that is gonna be alone on the field the longest, and then Cheveruse is the Overload support which would’ve made that reaction even stronger— rather than Bennett. Bennett is a good universal option, but by this point everyone has a Bennett and there are 4 stars we hardly see in the banner pool anymore (cough cough like Kaveh). Plus, if 4 stars are really supposed to compliment the 5 star, then Cheveruse is fucked. None of the electro 5 star units have been made with Overload in mind, so she’s gonna get locked in the cycle of not being more useful than other 4 stars that everyone already has because they made her for a niche reaction. This banner should’ve been Sethos, Thoma, Chevreuse. The only reason I think it isn’t is because of Alhaitham being a dendro unit so a Bennett is better for him— but this is his rerun, we have supports for him!

Then in 4.8, I would then go 5 star Emilie with Kaveh, Bennett, and someone else for the character running along side her. If Emilie really is a burning sub-dps, then she’ll still need a dps that’s preferably dendro to sustain the burning reaction. The only 4 star dendro dps we have is Kaveh. Then I would’ve put Bennett here because, again, he’s a good universal pick and he does give that good pyro circle so he’d be a good pick to react with Dendro. I would say Xiangling also fits as a pyro enabler here, but she just ran alongside Arlecchino and Lyney. Maybe Yanfei could take this spot because she’s a pyro dps to match with Emilie’s sub-dps, but overall I would’ve moved Bennett to this banner instead. Plus putting Kaveh on Emilie’s banner makes people want to pull for Emilie since she doesn’t have much going for her other than all the Voicelines teasing her (and now the slight flighting over her design). Hoyo wants your money more than our little gay dreams realized.

One day, I hope my children realize how lucky they are to not only have parents who do not fight(like ever)lol but also genuinely enjoy each others company and are not just indifferent to each other. Growing up, I would have killed to have parents who actually were in love with each other.

Georgie baker means so much to me like she literally just decided to have no fear and be completely immune to like the entire tmaverse.

“Fear gods rule us and feed on our greatest fears.”

“Good for them can I just film my fucking podcast and be bisexual in peace?”

A legend among men she is truly a hero to us all.

Lewis and Toto constantly going on that he had competition against Bottas is genuinely not the flex they think it is lmao

How would you guys feel if I posted a Piper And Leo fic about her being a closet massive Pokémon fan and Leo makes her a custom game when he finds out?
