i also love her tamamo style bigger-than-average eyebrows

*vine boom*

Just my two cents if you ever get to DS2, try playing Vanilla first if you can instead of SotFS. Having played both the latter made many decisions I can only describe as maddening, such as the over abundance of “turned to stone” enemies that block important pathways and need a specific item to clear. They have one of these in the friggin TUTORIAL AREA. Not there in Vanilla. Another thing, they increased aggro range on Alonne Knights in Iron Keep so they snipe you from a mile away. This an many more baffling decisions in Scholar!

Seriously, try Vanilla FIRST. The only downside is the DLC isn’t already included, like in SotFS.

i really want to play Elden Ring but I want to go through the entire series, so I booted up Dark Souls remastered. You got any tips?

I'm no expert soulsbourne player, but here's one thing I know.

For a series famous for its bossfights, Soulsbornes tend to kill you very often via death traps. When entering a doorway, move your camera to see if there aren't dudes with their swords held up ready to vibe check you as you pass by. An empty room is not always an empty room, sometimes there is instant death waiting inside. If you see a guy from a fair distance, consider it a warning. And if there are a bunch of shmucks on higher ground, always see if there's a way to get rid of them first; there's a fight waiting for you and the last thing you want to deal with is enemies shooting at you while you're very busy trying not to die.

Hey does anyone want to see the Massive’s canonical size?

Too bad here you go:

Using the Earth as a unit of measurement in ETF, the Massive is around 6000 km long.

Invader Zim was an unparalleled media experience. Some alien nearly destroys his planet so he’s banished to be a fast food worker. He decides to stop being banished when he hears he can destroy more stuff so they send him to the far reaches of space on a false mission so he dies but earth is there. He decides to collect information on the planet to collect its weaknesses by going to public school. The only people who can see through his disguise are a neglected rich kid 12 year old obsessed with Mothman and his gamer girl sister. Both the siblings are goth. The Mothman kid is the only one interested in stopping the alien but not out of any moral obligation or anything but for that sweet sweet daddy’s love. One time the Mothman kid got a therapist who killed the previous therapist and took his place, and this is a d-plot within the episode at best. The flagship brand of soda in the universe is called poop cola. There was an episode about how Zims entire alien race is more machine than human, and their entire being is contained in the little metal backpacks that are attached to them at all times, and their bodies are more things to carry these PAKS around and if they were to detach they would die while the PAK would attach to the nearest creature, overwrite their mind and kill them. This episode was cancelled to make the Christmas special. Gir is there.

Short DPXDC Prompts #648

The League gets incredibly concerned that their main tech mechanic, Danny Fenton, has instances of his heart or breathing randomly stopping. His skin is cold as ice and his skin is deathly pale.

Danny didn’t realize that the League doesn’t look at hiring applications. If they did they would have seen that he put being a half ghost on his resume.

We see in a memory cutscene in TOTK that monsters only appeared with the first Blood Moon from the Demon King’s power.

They are LITERALLY made of evil.

I don’t... I don’t know how much more you can make the killing of these guys justified, they are made of literal evil and they attack any hylian traveler on sight. They serve a guy who wants them to fight and slaughter until nothing is left alive in Hyrule (I think he even says something along those lines).

Look I liked Undertale, it was cool and had a nice message... But sometimes a monster is a monster it’s not that deep.

The bokoblins in tears of the kingdom seem smarter. They collect hunted meat in backpacks. They build fences. They use crafted weapons rather than just sticks like in botw. It begs the question: surely these are sentient creatures Link is murdering en masse? We collect their organs. We make potions out of them and eat their flesh. This is getting weird

Can you imagine how absolutely devastated Link probably is emotionally in Tears of the Kingdom?

(Serious Spoilers below the cut)

This game is just his worst trauma all over again but worse, and this time he doesn’t even get amnesia as a way to soften the blow.

He fails to defeat the newly awakened evil again

The Master Sword gets damaged severely again

He almost dies again if not for the intervention of Rauru

Monsters are running rampant through the world again

But he holds out hope, because Zelda told him to find her, so she must be out there! She isn’t trapped again for another hundred years! Sure the Sage’s visions show her in the past, and the dragon tears corroborate this, but surely she found a way back, after all she told you to find her, and people have reported seeing her!

But then you get to the final Dragon Tear, see it fall from the crying Light Dragon, you see what happened. Zelda became an immortal dragon... and lost herself.

Zelda was not left waiting for 100 years again, she wasn’t waiting for a thousand years. Zelda was left waiting, transformed and trapped in her own mind and body for over TENS THOUSAND YEARS, MAYBE MORE

It’s the worst day of his life all over again, but made so, so, SO much worse

As much as I do like totk I too am not the biggest fan of the direction the took the zonai... mostly because it’s just Ancient Sheikah again. A civilization far in the past with vastly superior magi-tek? check. One-eyed robots doing everything? check. Artstyle based on an extinct culture (Jomon for the sheikah, pre-colombian mesoamerican for the zonai)? check. Were the reason why in the distant past the “great evil” of the game was rendered a non-threat until the game starts? check.

There’s also this feeling that a lot of question we might have had about the zonai were answered in really unsatisfying ways. Like the Labyrinths, they’re such huge structures! How were they built, what was their purpose/cultural significance, the Sheikah placed a shrine in there so was it built in collaboration with the Sheikah, or was it refurbished for the shrine after the zonai were gone?

The answer was “The zonai had magi-tek and used their robot servants to make it as a trial for link.” and that just kinda... ruins the mystique I guess. It’s little better than saying, “It was put there so you could have a challenge at this part of the game.”

zonai ruins in botw and zonai aesthetic in totk are so different, i don't know why they decided to change it like that. it's triggering something in me. i hate inconsistency

“Look the Nazca Lines are pretty and all, but I feel there must have been a more efficient method of telling me what happened and what to do. The Purah Pad not have a note app or something?”

mmm

I feel the need to add, before people start to bring up “first sunday after the full moon after the spring equinox seems pretty pagan”, that the hebrew calendar is a lunar/solar calendar, and the first full moon after the equinox is usually* the 15th of the month of Nisan, i.e. Pesach**/Passover, i.e. the holiday going on when Jesus was arrested.

“The sunday after passover” doesn’t sound so pagan, does it?

*the only exceptions are hebrew leap years, that add an entire extra month

** Easter in other languages actually tends to be based on the Aramaic/Greek/Latin version of the name Pascha

It’s that time of year again. Courtesy of digitalhammurabi.com

Addition about the image, courtesy of Twitter user @lui_log: wrt the background image, which is a stone plaque showing a winged goddess flanked by owls: “Also, we don't know whether this is a depiction of Ishtar, as the piece has been looted, thus has no archaeological context that could point us to whom it shows. Nor does it bear an inscription. The owls could mean that it is Ishtar's sister Ereshkigal, Goddess of the Underworld.”

It’s him... Elden John

Casual TotK Midna to add to my summoning circle

actually @ everyone least favorite game mechanic/type of level in videogames

for extra fun points you can’t say escorting missions and ice physics levels (even if you’re right) or water levels (because you’re wrong)
