I will never get over how beautiful dizzy's strive design is

she's so elegant and graceful??? and the her long braid is freaking adorable!! everything about it just suits her so well, it's such a good mix of cute and elegant

LIKE LOOK AT HERRR SHE'S SO STYLISH it's such an upgrade from her previous design (even though both are pretty good! I just prefer the strive one more)

I admit I did want nerco and undine's designs to be a little more like the previous, but I think having it like this isn't that bad now that I see her design in motion. puts more focus on dizzy :]

Just trying to keep a reasonable head on about all this for my own sake so I'm not ragebaiting myself lol.

I don't mind that the game is more streamlined tbh. There are honestly a lot of Keep stuff that just isn't as relevant anymore going into Veilguard and Northern Thedas. I get trimming to tell a story with more impact and meaning in regards to past choices and returning characters where it makes sense. No complaints, etc etc. I just think it's a little too trimmed? There should at least be some ripple effects, even if not directly impacting the story. Divine mentions? The Grey Wardens you banish or have join the Inquisition? The HoF passing involvement in all of this if they didn't make the Ultimate Sacrifice? Well of Sorrows? etc? lol

Either way, I'm still putting faith in the writers to tell a great story for Rook. Still happy we have a Dragon Age game at all in the 10 years since Inquisition and happy to be in the setting again. Still very much going to enjoy the game and when in doubt or disappointed in the results, headcanon land is my best friend, etc.

wanna write an angsty valgrace fic just to write “where’s leo?” but like can’t bc too many wips + don’t have any plot ideas for it

Hmmm... can't decide if I want to post this Star Trek fic as a one shot, or split it up into multiple chapters and post one a day until it done. They probably wouldn't be super long chapters, but there's one scene that I'd LOVE to leave as a cliffhanger, at least for a little bit. I think it would be enrichment for the readers. Weigh in if you have an opinion!

with every update to dreamlight valley, my character becomes more and more of a villain and that's all i want out of a disney game honestly. like look at him. i love him 👏

okay but the absolutely fascinating thing about the existence of alice marion is that i can absolutely picture her going toe to toe with the worst of the worst and while not being unfazed... just getting it in a different way? she’s going to die young. the world her generation is inheriting has been destroyed by bystanding and the lack of accountability for monsters like the murkoff corporation... but she persists. and i think that puts her in an entirely different place with her fear than most of the characters we encounter in outlast.

Posting on a whim to express a thought. One thing I will always love about video games is the amount of little sub-communities there are compared to other media. It doesn't matter how old or obscure or even good the game is. If there's even a slight bit of value, there's always a handful of people to dig it out.

There's this game I enjoy called Xonotic, an arena FPS from 2011 that's a fork of an open-source game from 2005, itself more or less a mod of Quake. And the most populated server of this tiny community is consistently one that runs a major weapon mod that itself changes the dynamics of the game massively. That's a mod of a fork of a mod, in a genre that's been massively unpopular for almost two decades now. And still, there's always someone to play it.

There's communities surrounding mods of mods of mods of dead fighting games (Project M mods like Brawl- or Universe). You want to speedrun Ratatouille for the Wii? There's a Discord where people can help you do that. There's people keeping the Magical Drop series of action-puzzle games alive and they've got a ton to talk about. There's even communities surrounding games that are objectively pretty bad, but that people still insist on getting the most value out of in their own ways.

I find it amazing that people can be this dedicated to their favourites ; that players would go miles to get the most possible out of a game, and that the landscape is wide and dense enough to have so many specific flavours and support everyone's tastes... Even if our differences may sometimes lead to conflict, I think it's beautiful and I'm glad it's a thing!

hunted down some old catch-all playlists for my Inquisitors that I had on yt so I could put them on Spotify and the contrast between Damla Adaar's playlist (which vacillates between Demi Lovato and Joy Williams type stuff) and Maevra Lavellan's playlist (which is. so many Passenger songs, and Avicii's Wake Me Up back to back with Chris Brown's Don't Wake Me Up lmaoo) is sure. something.
