One of the best things about Disco Elysium by far is that it does not fear ugly women. The world is full of ugly men, but ugly women are so hard to come by.
#I'm not calling the characters ugly btw#i don't believe any one can be ugly#i do not care for beauty standards and thus i don't rank people based on how “ugly” or “pretty” they are#but the characters in DE do not meet the conventional beauty standards and look like actual people with unique faces#and thus would be considered “ugly”#and that is so important to me. i go feral whenever media represents how people look like in real life and not how they look like in the#fictional parallel universe where everyone is a model and where a majority of the movies take place#because irl you don't have to be a model to be desirable#the most attractive man in any video game I've ever played has a receding hairline and a big nose and thick glasses and a small chin#and not only is representing realistic people. just good. in general. but it makes the character of Dolores Dei stand out so much more which#works for the game so well. she's barely human. she's a deity- a myth- a legend. the only version that exists of her now is the one with#glowing lungs. she's perfectly beautiful because she's inhuman. the fact that everybody else looks so human only highlights how inhuman she#has become yk?#if everyone was as conventionally attractive as her then she wouldn't stand out. we wouldn't get why she's so special.#disco elysium#disco elysium analysis#media analysis#beauty standards#this is only one aspect of how this game portrays real people btw. as someone interested in character design this just immediately stood out#to me#the first time i noticed it was when i first met garte and the second time was when i met ruby because neither are conventionally desirable#oh my fucking god the nerds who complain about a woman with a model face having body hair in a video game would perish if they played this#mainstream game/movie studios catering to western masses could never

Cassandra, my love, how the hell have you managed to whip out this dwarf's name so quickly out of fucking nowhere while we are discussing not just your career path but your whole life and the political landscape of a half of the continent... and what's more important are you implying that you are ready to sacrifice your whole life at the proverbial altar, just to make the Chantry an institution Varric would approve of??? Can we.. Can we unpack at least part of it??
#cassarric#is one hell of a drug#tench plays video games#dragon age#regardless I'm not putting this woman near politics#she said like half an hour ago that i should let the rmpress be killed because she is holding a party#which isn't even true technically and also it's for a peace talks#i know she will hate every second of her life forever as a divine

trying to finish as much as i can off playstation plus before letting my subscription end and one of those things was the bioshock infinite burial at sea dlc and oh my fucking god what an absolutely atrotrious experience. incredibly somehow worse than bioshock infinite (a game i hold no affection for) and may be one of the worst video game experiences i've ever had.
#we happy few remains the single worst game i've ever played#it has quite a lead on anything else#but damn this was so much worse than i was expecting#from a gameplay perspective i hated every second of it#the worst stealth mechanics i've ever experienced in a video game#games that have no stealth mechanics and expect you do stealth do better at stealth than this does#pretty much impossible to walk more than a few steps without every enemy in the level instantly knowing exactly where you are#because you stood on the wrong kind of floor#miserable#and of course elizabeth has to be weak and much less capable of combat than any other bioshock protagonist because she's a woman obviously#from a narrative perspective it was just#there should be a specific concise term for when prequels spend all their narrative efforts to show you the origins of any important elemen#lets call it 'story by way of recognizable nouns' or 'prequel origin porn' or someone else is probably better at naming things than i am#anyway that's the narrative in burial at sea#its vapid its obvious its a foregone conclusion it fucking sucks#and like look i don't love elizabeth bioshock infinite but she deserves better than anything that happens in this dlc

say what you will about metal gear women but the single solitary time i have ever seen two butch women in a canon relationship in any work of fiction ever was peacewalker
#strangelove is like. 7/10 lesbian rep but ONLY because they made her be a creep sometimes#i mean its like. about as creepy as some of the metal gear dudes are but nonetheless#THE BOSS though?????#all ive ever wanted out of a video game women 17/10 no notes whatsoever#not overly sexualized by the narrative. fills a role in the story that would usually be filled by a man.#all the soldier dudes that work for her are clearly terrified of her. she can curl 200 lbs#and she was even in a codependent homoerotic situationship with another woman..#playing mgs3 i was like Girl. how did you end up in a kojima game

mhw handler get behind me
#monster hunter#monhun#sorry i just got a video in my yt recs and remembered how people treat her#god forbid a woman npc repeat a voiceline more than twice to encourage the player to continue the main quest#in the exact same way that npcs like field team leader and admiral will do if theyre helping with a story quest#she did literally nothing wrong you all are just violently misogynistic#gamers when a man is mildly annoying and pestering: yeah whatever man its fine#gamers when a woman is mildly annoying: i think she should be violently killed to death. i tgink she should burn in hell forever#played the game and literally had no idea other people hated her until i went online. like i loved her. shes just like me fr

one of the joys of having a mother who is a bit older and..sillier. than average is the memory of my brother trying to explain the concept of a snapchat streak to her. only she could not wrap her brain around the fact that it had nothing to do with streaking as in running around naked. and she just wouldnt drop how horrified she was that her kids would do such a thing. no matter how hard my brother tried to get her to understand she would just say “well……i cant believe you’re doing that😔..…”
#its not even like snapchat invented the concept of a streak!!!!!!!!!!!#this same woman called me after id moved out and was like ‘i need to speak to you!!! your brother is acting very strange!!!!!’#and i was like okay what else is new. tell me what he’s doing tho.#and she said ‘he goes on his laptop and he..well i dont even know..he watches videos of OTHER people PLAYING VIDEO GAMES????’#he was watching twitch streams#so i had to explain to her how normal that is#this was in like 2022 it wasnt even new#it didnt work and she stayed bewildered but hopefully she stopped making my brother feel like an alien about it

c!Sapnap did steal his things threatening him to join the fight against c!Ponk and c!Alyssa, but the c!Dream fight was separate and something that both of them wanted to do
[context]
Thank you for the summary?… I did in fact watch the stream yesterday lol. So I know what happened. It is notable however, that while Sapnap takes Tommy’s netherite sword and chestplate to threaten him into joining him, Sapnap gives back the items before Tommy agrees [clip], so the threat didn’t last long. And Tommy actually doesn’t seem to want to join Sapnap until, “the woman,” Alyssa is mentioned and that’s when he’s more on board [clip] and then really on board once Alyssa mentions him taking her diamond [clip]. Needless to say, the argument that Sapnap threatened Tommy into the war is bullshit as Tommy clearly was enthusiastic for the war against Alyssa, even killing her unprompted [clip] before the war even begins. But even if Sapnap had forced or coerced Tommy into joining him in the war, as you pointed out it is separate from them attacking Dream that then started the disc saga, so it’s pretty irrelevant to the whole point. Like… it doesn’t even matter. Not unless we wanna discuss how screwed up and kinda sexist it is for Tommy to kill and join the war because of “the woman,” Alyssa and then refer to her voice as the ghost in his head throughout the stream… but let’s not open that can of worms just now.
#hello there#like seriously as a woman bullied and mistreated in playing video games with men this is yet another reason that makes it hard for me#to like Tommy… not to say the kinda sexist attitude and treatment is excluded to just him there are multiple participants including Sapnap#dsmp#crumbs#dsmp lore#dreblr#<3 <3#c!dream#dishing up lore#dsmpblr#dream smp#I find asks like this weird sometimes… like just stating a fact or opinion… like do you want my thoughts or wanna ask a question or somethn#I don’t know… probably a me thing lol

TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY, Northwestern beat Ohio State for the first and only time in our matchup history. I do not really care about football, I didn't really care about football when I was in school, but this game was HUGE. NU didn't have lights in our stadium so almost all of our games were during the day, but they brought in lights for this one and we painted shirts ("AXO ❤️ NORTHWESTERN, I was the O in northwestern) and stood at the gates so we could be in the front row of the student section. It was a CRAZY exciting game-- it turned over several times and we won in overtime. People still talk about it!! A great win against any team but ESPECIALLY Ohio State, mortal enemy of every team in the Big 10 (back when 10 actually meant something.)
Here I am with my sorority sisters at the gates to the stadium waiting to run to the student section:
and here we are on TV screaming when we won the game! I'm in the bottom left of the screen with the white arm, my friend Kristin (center above) is in the purple sweatshirt:
Right after this we rushed the field and it ruined everyone's shoes and long long jeans. I can't believe this was 20 years ago! What a time! Go 'Cats!
#I was wondering if it was the 20th anniversary and I looked this game up on Oct 1 and the game was Oct 2#so obviously I queued this to post on the actual anniversary but I wrote it yesterday#I had no idea about the video-- how would we have found a video of ourselves in 2004? youtube didn't exist!#we are playing ohio state for homecoming this year at wrigley field!#I had the worst friend breakup of my life with the woman in the omega shirt#oh well she still has me tagged in this facebook album at least

yes i do hope there are more female protagonists in video games and i even more hope they drive away the loser men who can’t handle a game fronted by someone not a man
#random emma thoughts#video games#doing the lords work#ive had to deal with playing male protags since i can remember and yet men find it so hard to play one when they’re in their 30s#masculinity is so fucking fragile like wow#can’t wait for an ac game where the only option is a woman

thanks for tagging me @4thbrighteststar
rules: shuffle your On Repeat and let people pick their favorite from the first five songs!
here goes fingers crossed y'all get normal songs
lemme tag @igarbagecannoteven @allsassnoclass @kaleidoscopeminds @burstingsunrise anddd @daydadahlias
(commentary on each song under the cut)
wish you were sober: i had a moment with this song several years after everyone else did
chemicals: had a moment with this ALBUM.
stuttering: god okay i don't know WHY this is still on my on repeat except for, i assume, that every time it plays when i listen to my on repeat it self-reinforces its position. i WAS listening to it, and them, a lot, back when i saw them live earlier this year, no shame, but its time is frankly up
kissinginacarcrash: surprised to find this on here! i'm studying for a telltale concert im going to with my friend. this is one of their better songs imo
bet on it: ...i was afraid this would happen. my sister and i jammed out to all three hsm soundtracks on a long drive earlier this week. there is nothing like belting out bet on it and scream in a car with your sister. so then i kept listening to those two songs. scream is also in fact on this playlist right now.
#jeez some SEVERE underrepresentation of women on my on repeat these days#i just checked. six out of thirty are songs by women#one of those is fleetwood mac but i think that counts#or at least half counts#i do think bet on it showing up is really funny though#it is such an actual banger#even if every time i hear it or watch that scene i just think of that one video that overlaid let it go from frozen onto the scene#and it fit perfectly#poll#stuff#my polls#tag games#okay two songs after the last one in the poll finally a song by a woman plays lmao#mona lisa by mxmtoon! also a song from a concert#she opened for ajr and she was SO cute and fun to watch#and i like her voice and vibe a lot#like i had only listened to a little bit of her music but just from watching her energy onstage i was like id love to see her again#anyway!!! thanks for the game team#just from looking at these options i will be shocked if bet on it doesnt win#like. the jack and jack x 5sos audience crossover is minimal#the telltale audience is inherently small bu virtue of them being a very small band#ehhh i guess conan could come out on top#but come on everyone loves to vote hsm

Cassandra reading smut in the middle of the courtyard and being jumpy about it has the same energy as reading M rated fics on AO3 on subway during a rush hour. The cutest shit ever, but like... Girl
#tench plays video games#you won't believe it I'm back to gaming#fucking finally#dragon age#dai#im having the biggest crush on this fictional woman

This stupid situation…
Ok I’m going to say this right here and right now. I am not trying to defend or soften this woman’s actions. I know that Ugi’s awful takes and tracing were just straight up infuriating. I despise art tracers to a T. But the last thing I would do to that tracer, is fucking doxx them and just pull straight up lies out of my ass as an excuse to release their information.
I kept seeing mutuals of mine get harassed by these chronically online children who keeps sending them Ugi’s address and spread allegations against her that aren’t even true in their ask box.
As far as we are aware she isn’t a pedo nor “rapist.” Not only do we not know anything about this woman at all besides her pathetic attempts at tracing. But we also, can’t fully say these things with our full chest without full proof.
And before you say some dumb shit, no her drawings aren’t proof enough for those claims. Trust me it’s down right disturbing to see them but that’s not enough proof for them allegations you spread around.
I swear some of you children need to stop pulling these words out of your ass. People like you who keep saying shit like this makes those words loose its meaning. Not only that but you’re just reaching for the stars just to throw more dirt at this woman.
Now you idiots are trying to say this random ass art tracer who can’t draw good for the life of her, is now all of a sudden the daughter of a high ranking Italian senator. Be so fucking for real.
This stuff was already done and handled with a long time ago with basically most people in the community mass blocking her, calling her out for her tracing/takes and moving on. That’s what YOU should’ve been doing! Blocking and moving on with your life! LIKE WE DID!
People can seriously tell how old you are simply by you doing this. A middle schooler who wants to target someone on the internet and act like you are some savior to your 3+ followers.
Just do what everyone did in this situation
Block. Move on. And go back to having fun on the internet.
If you seriously can’t comprehend this. Then just stop using the internet. You’re clearly not ready. Come back until you’re like 22 or something I’m done.
#i had to get this out of my chest it’s so annoying#i don’t like this woman either#that’s why i blocked her#tracing isn’t extremely major issue#yes it’s big problem but that doesn’t give you the right to spread this dumb shit around#i’m so tired of this#like go outside#talk to family or friends#play video games#draw in a sketchbook or tablet#PLEASE#you just look pathetic doing this#viper is trying to make a point

Truly did not think I would be half drunk, explaining to my father how to work an Xbox 360 controller in the parking lot of a bar at midnight today but that is certainly how my life goes I suppose
#and so it goes#no but seriously what#he got an xbox 360 for free from a coworker#(jealous but also I've saved a perfectly working game cube & about $250 worth of games from being tossed at a job but that's another story)#and he got it for my little brother but the guy gave him a knockoff controller#so there's no start button???#and my poor poor father tried plugging the damn thing into the back with the ports#so i was just like “dude buy a normal one please it will be better in the long run trust”#so we go to Local Chain Video Reseller Shop (which i adore)#and they have one for a good price#and i show him how to put in batteries and that he won't have to plug it in because the future of gaming is now#and we go to the bar and i enrage a woman by playing lots of billy joel (but if you're playing along at home you knew that)#and we get in the car and he's like “explain again? will these games work?”#and I'm like “mike buddy we bought the games it's done-zo but yeah man xbox has backwards compatibility”#and he's like “what's that?”#oh dear lord#so i show him again and tell him that the console takes original xbox and 360 game BUT THAT'S IT NO NEW ONES#still very unsure#i tell him “press xbox button it wake up the controller”#after all this he says “I'll google it”#fuck#off#anyway this was a very unnecessary post but I'm still a bit tipsy so whatever
