I never played Karateka in the 80s, but as a big fan of Prince of Persia and Jordan Mechner's journals, I was stoked to hear that an interactive documentary about Jordan's prototypical cinematic platformer was in the works by Digital Eclipse.
Released this week, The Making of Karateka on the surface looks like any other game you buy through Steam ($20, Windows-only), GOG, or whichever favorite store or console you prefer (available also for Xbox, PS4/5, Switch). Once the thing loads though, you really get 3 things: a documentary, the original Karateka, and a new remaster.
The documentary part is an audio-visual slideshow retelling Jordan's development story starting with his teenage years pitching his earlier title Deathbounce to the publishing house Brøderbund. It's an interesting look into the iterative process, seen through correspondence letters, journal entries, and many playable builds at various stages of completion. After we reach the eventual rejection of that title, Jordan comes back with a prototype of a visual-narrative experience unseen on home computers. We get to follow Karateka's full life cycle from pre- to post-production, ending with the conception of its sequel (which eventually turned into Prince of Persia). It's a real treasure trove! Fellow pixel artists will appreciate the many graph-paper sketches and interactive overlays of final game sprites compared to rotoscoped outlines and filmed footage. There are also video segments, from a comprehensive breakdown of the music to interviews with other developers reflecting on the impact Jordan's games had on their careers. You'll even encounter a fan letter signed by the one and only "John Romero, Disciple of the Great Jordan and worshipper of the Magnificent Mechner!" (I kid you not, you can't make this stuff up).
Perhaps just as crucial for an interactive documentary like this, you can launch any of the floppy disks in the emulator, trying out various iterations and ports of Karateka.
The emulation is fantastic and lets you fiddle with display settings (monochrome or color display, scanlines, pixel perfect or zoomed) as well as enhance the frame rate. You can even rewind the many deaths you will face if you've never played the game before (like me). If you spend some more time obsessing over the weird artifacts of the Apple II hi-res graphics, you might even go down the rabbit hole of realizing that on the Apple II you didn't really paint colors as much as you used different monochrome dithering patterns that the graphics display would then turn into 4 different hues. A fascinating learning experience if you include some of your own research online!
youtube
Add to this the Commodore 64 and the Atari 8-bit versions to compare how the graphics got adapted across the earlier ports and you have a nice way to relieve the mid-80s with a bit of help from modern emulation (I did beat the C64 version without rewinding though!). I'd love to see more art from the other remakes, especially the 16-bit Atari ST port, but I understand their decision to omit playable versions of those due to the lower quality on the gameplay side of the translations.
This brings us to the final part of the package, the modern remaster. Unlike the 2012 complete reimagining of the game (with 3D graphics and all), Digital Eclipse approached the remake as the ultimate port of the original to an imaginary system along the lines of a 90s VGA PC.
It's well done. Some of the fully-redrawn scenes are a bit overpainted for my taste (I'd prefer a pixel art rendition of the castle than a blurry photographic collage, although there were many games in the 90s that did take this approach), but the in-game graphics are really in style, including the smooth animations that are like one would imagine granted a beefier CPU. It's also a sort of director's cut with previously unseen scenes added, in particular, the battle with the leopard as a clever action-puzzle in the middle. The AI is unfortunately even less challenging than Jordan's implementation. As great as the 6-move fighting system could have been, you yet again resort to simply kicking away opponents as they tirelessly crawl into your range. There isn't even the nuance from the original where you were the one who had to approach some enemies with skilled timing. On the other hand, you now have optional goals and achievements that make the repetitive/easy combat work in your favor (stringing various combos, beating opponents or the level under a time limit …). As the Digital Eclipse president Mike Mika admits at the end of the welcome commentary mode, they didn't manage to achieve their perfect port, but they did come close.
In conclusion, I thoroughly enjoyed playing both the original as well as the remake and while the combat system lacks any sort of depth beneath its stunning animations, Karateka is instead a monumental experience for its presentation. Big characters with personality and realistic motion are displayed through cinematic camera cuts and story vignettes (3 years before Ron Gilbert came up with the word "cutscene"). There are details like animating the unfortunate falling off the cliff at the start of the game, or respectfully bowing to the first guard as they bow in return. Jordan's creative work is precious and worth the attention this release gifts it.
I highly recommend The Making of Karateka to all retro gamers and/or game developers for its immersive documentation which provides an experience that goes beyond the usual video documentaries. It's interactive—just like the subject it's talking about—something I want to see more in the future. And if the $20 by any chance seems high to you, consider that the original retailed at $35 (and that was in 1984 dollars).

dream team art school! au
Doodles that inspired me to write a little drabble fic :)
ꕤ • ꕤ • ꕤ
This was Georges biggest project,
okay maybe biggest project this semester... or last 2 months, either way the assignment occupied boys attention for couple last weeks, especially this week. That's why his two best friends were so eager to meet up, it felt like they haven't seen him in so long yet they go to same university. When brunette texted on their group chat asking for a hand with a photoshoot he haven't even blinked an eye before they eagerly agreed.
What's even more exciting, boys haven't seen George's project yet! The oldest kept it a secret to "prevent the leaks" because apart from it being his assignment it was also an entry to one of his most ambitious fashion competitions. The fashion awards of all US fine arts universities. He had high hopes for it.
"Alright I'm almost ready, remember to put the ISO to 200, I borrowed those lights for a reason!” Georges words were a little muffled but still understandable as he worked on setting his design as perfectly as it could get.
"Got it Gogs, come on we don't have a whole day!” they did, their classes finished at 11am today and it was Friday so they were free for the next days. Sapnap was just eager to see the boys creation, after all he put all his heart into it, like he does to all his projects. "Actually we do" Dream interjected, youngest only glared at him knowing damn well he's as impatient considering constant taps on his thigh.
"Yeah Sap idiot, we have all day.. but you're right, it's better if the light from outside is still at it's best." he finally emerged from behind the wardrobe curtain. Okay. The boys were stunned it's not that George usually doesn't look like goddess himself - that's far from truth actually. It's just that this time they're seeing his art mixed with all his grace and beauty. Sapnap manages to whisper little "Oh god" only for Dream to hear, as the tallest boy starts "You-”
The baby blue glowy shirt, ornamented with flowered embroidery makes his face look soft, bringing out his strawberry cheeks and eyes hinted with a bit of peachy shadow. It all contrasts, yet fits without fault with a long, red, mermaid cut skirt. It's flowy, the material decorated with blue beads in the shape of hearts- And oh-
Dream gasps, Sapnap inhales loudly. Fishnets, George is wearing fishnets and the cut in the thigh is so high it shows his left leg fully. good christ, they are so down bad. Sapnap eyes Dream and They can really just see how both of them are fully raspberry blown faces.
They are both hot. red.
And The brunet who's the one and only cause is clearly oblivious to their reaction as he innocently asks "so how does it look?", makes a gesture with hands showing of the sleeves and frills on the skirt.
"I- you, it's well, George, it's so beautiful you look amazing." Dream exhaled eyes still on him, almost not blinking.
"George it truly is gleaming - I mean the colour palette for this one??? Ms Chevreu will loose her shit when she sees this! You actually are so skilled holy smokes” Sapnap added still admiring his friend's piece.
"awe thank you! I hope she looses her shit to be honest that would be funny, she's into reds recently so I think she will" boy snickered, his cheeks visibly tinted, not only from blush he applied couple minutes ago.
"alright!" he clapped his hands "time for shoot!"
Youngest set the light, while dark blond took photos to fill the entire SIM card folder. Taking that George was /very/ photogenic it was easy to catch the best shots, it's almost like he looks perfect in all of them. George is perfect tho, Dream thinks.
"Okay I think we're done, I took pictures from every side I think" Dream announced as George stretched "gods yes please my back is starting to hurt so bad" as to emphasize that he popped his bones ”ew George don't do that” Sapnap made a face.
"what do you mean you are the worst back popper I've met. Hearing only a scoff in response from other boy George's half lidded eyes closed for a little while.
"He's meditating guys!” Dream squeeked in one of his mocking voices, George giggled "he's died!"
"Okay, that's it I'm checking the photos!" Sapnap yanked the camera from the tallest's hands and plopped on one of the puff poufs. "Hey be careful you goose! this camera only cost me 5 and a half months of cafeshop money!” Dream hurried with scolding
George got up slowly and joined the youngest, soon enough all three of them were slumped on floor, brit in the middle looking and commenting on photos. "Hey guys.." brunet started, causing Dream and Sapnap turning to him.
"yeah?" dark brunette asked.
"thank you... for supporting me, like not only this time but at all" he turned his eyes from both pairs of theirs. Then he cupped each cheek and gave it a short kiss.
Boys blushed, all three of them.
"Yeah no problem Gogs, we'll always be your biggest fans" Sapnap breathed out.
"Always" Dream repeated.
And if for the rest of the day boys only watched movies all cuddled up on couch, snacking on anything they found in brunets kitchen, that was on them.
thank you for reading ♡
hugs,
Jun

You can see fear, panic and endless pain in Supermans face! He knows he's done at the moment Gogs spear is penetrating his unbreakable suit, skin and body! His famous sixpack can't take the Kryptonite filled spearhead. Supes is skewered, helpless and finally defeated AAAAAAAAH! The beginning of 200 years of captivity and endless torture by Gog!!!

Ha, I finally completed my "ironman" run.
Most social media posts : while doing this difficulty avoid combat, do main quests only
Me: Do all side quests, do not take stealth augments until very end (for curfew part of game) and clear whole Prague of all cops in curfew level because who the f**** has time to do all that stealth nonsense. Also netted so many exp points due that so went to London with 7 or 8 points unused as I didn't need them for anything.
Ha! before running to the very last objective (delegates) - I stopped game, loaded GOG galaxy and got that 100% done too!
Thank you again that Deus Ex fan that sent me the game saves to unlock that difficulty!
Here's 2 gifs I did to celebrate :) Might do some doodles later.

Unless I keep fiddling with the final version (which I will inevitably do lmao)
Gog I'm so glad I got that done, but lmao I've never worked that fast on the animatic, I must have been really motivated to get Christopher's thing done

okay I gotta talk about Cyberpunk 2077
I really really wanted to play this game on launch back in 2020 but it was just...not ready so I avoided it. I also know the game was criticized for some things and a bunch of people made thinkpieces about how you shouldn't play it and all that. and like...sure have your opinions about it, that's fine. I was disappointed at the launch, but content wise I wanted to play the game for myself. so I waited until it went on sale for 50% off this year and bought it on GOG (which, if you're interested, that sale happens at least like twice per month).
before I went on vacation to Europe at the end of June, I finally started it. and I was....kinda in shock????
(keep in mind this is pre-2.0 patch so some of this might be out of date when that comes out)
(major story spoilers below)
first off the character creation is......not amazing? like there's plenty of nice preset options but it's limiting. V's gender being tied to their voice is FUCKING AWFUL, and I do not agree with that direction in the slightest. tbh I think that might be the absolute worst part of the game, where it would have been much easier to just...give you an option for pronouns?? like why was that not the direction wtf. and also having your voice and body type be a prerequisite to romance options too?? I just....UGH there's work to be done here.
past that tho, I love how much personality V has and I love the acting. I went with female V with a Street Kid background. it was really nice seeing how she came back from Atlanta to start back up in Night City and how her relationship with Jackie quickly blossomed. and man these two together were so great. imagine getting close to killing someone and getting arrested and then being like "bruh that cop was a fucking asshole and I'm hungry, let's go get some food bruh" and then I saw The Montage.
man....man oh man that fucking Street Kid montage of V doing jobs with Jackie? with the music in the background? I ended up watching that like 2-3 times (because the game crashed) but i genuinely did like it a lot and it really set me up with for the overall vibe of Night City. I dunno maybe I'm easily entertained but it was...just so cool?? I think it really lends itself to the animation and acting in the game overall. while most basic NPCs are nothing special to talk about, the ones who are, who clearly have some mocap going on with their facial expressions, are a fucking treat to watch regarding body language and subtle facial changes.
I somehow avoided all spoilers of the game for nearly three years (also do not have experience in this IP) so I had no idea who Johnny Silverhand was and his significance to V. I wasn't a huge fan of him in the beginning but I quickly grew to like this asshole, especially as the game progresses and you learn more about him and his ideals and his very flawed perception of the world. I really really wanted there to be a solution where he and V live happily in the end, but ofc this genre does not allow happiness lol. It was very cool to hear his input during some jobs even if I thought they were ridiculous sometimes or he was jumping the gun a bit, and it was nice to get to know him better. I eventually came to see him as a bit of an older brother figure for my V. not perfect and offered "sage" advice when he felt warranted. obviously he has some self interest in keeping V alive because that means he stays alive, but it was very sweet to see him change over time to wanting to genuinely help V out.
by the end, I chose the route to storm Arasaka with Rogue because....why the fuck not, it's not my definitive playthrough. Aaaand I got The Sun ending. Rogue died. and I hated that. but more than that I wasn't happy with my V and her situation, but I'll get back to that in a bit. that brings me to the romance option.
again, I somehow avoided all spoilers for this game and while I vaguely remembered seeing Judy in one of the initial trailers from like...3+ years ago, I couldn't fully remember her role in the story or even what she looked like. all I can say is.....fucking love at first sight.
ok so like...I'm a bit of a simp for nerdy girls. and techy girls. and alt girls. and artsy girls. so to have her be nerdy and techy and alt and artsy and also have hobbies outside of that? man....the second I went to her apartment and learned more about her hobbies and interests, I was fucking smitten. it was super nice to be able to see regular people shit out of a romance option in a major game. and on top of that. her drive and interest in standing up to injustices is admirable. I love her, seriously. she's such a great character.
the romance. man.....I wish I had more words for it, but the way it progresses through the questline, the little hints you get about her own interest in you (Johnny mentioning the way she looks at you and you liking it), the way her texting towards you starts to change over time. I feel like it was paced extremely well within the confines of the game. and then....Pyramid Song happened.
at first, I approached this as any other romance in any other RPG. "oh yay, I can fuck the romance option yaaayyy" but nah. this quest fucking....ruined me in the best way possible. it was beautifully done. the acting, the emotional impact of the lake dive, V and Judy's minds melding into one, learning about Judy's past and hearing her memories... even writing this paragraph now I am near tears because that romance was so fucking well done. like yeah the eventual sex scene was great, but everything leading up to that was absolutely fantastic. to have seen this in a game, especially as a lesbian interacting with a character who ALSO is a lesbian, was just.....ugh it meant so much and I know there's no way a straight man wrote this lmfao.
I also love how after the relationship starts, Judy continuously texts you for A WHILE afterwards. She tells you random things, brings up her thoughts, and eventually tells you how much you mean to her. It is unbelievably cute and I couldn't stop smiling when I read every new text. I really hope they expand this in the update. And if not....well...I may consider doing this myself in a mod or something lmfao.
I also went through Panam's questline and tho it sucks that I couldn't romance her, I did develop a headcanon for V's interactions with her that I made a post about previously. like idk after seeing and meeting her in her quest, she was not at all who I thought she'd be. I was expecting some like....extremely femme prissy woman like...idk Loba from Apex Legends or something who couldn't break a nail or she'd fuss about it (remember I avoided all spoilers of this game lol). but NAH, def not her. she's more like "hey V, how many tons of dynamite do we need to wake up an entire Wraiths camp?" and you know what? I fucking love that shit.
which brings me back to the ending. I had a headcanon for my V that basically goes like this:
V is a Street Kid merc from Night City who comes back from Atlanta to restart her life. She meets Jackie and they quickly become best friends. All the shit about Arasaka happens and Jackie dies. V starts to have second questions about whether or not reaching the top of Night City and becoming the best merc is really what she wants. She's seen death plenty but Jackie's death has haunted her and now she herself dying. In the midst of doing jobs to survive and figuring out how to fix her situation with the Relic, she meets Panam and quickly becomes friends with her. She was a little interested at first but Panam was not. V respected that and did not persist, but they did become very close friends. V eventually meets Judy as well, and while they started off a little rocky, she ends up liking her and eventually they start a relationship. But having that conversation with Judy at the lake about Judy wanting to leave Night City really gets V thinking. But she carries on. Blah blah blah, story stuff, she becomes close to Johnny as well, but eventually I had it in my head that V really loves Judy as a partner and really loves Panam as her best friend so why not live out the rest of her life traveling with the Aldecaldos? She can leave her merc life in Night City and start fresh with her newfound family, best friend, and life partner.
And what do you fucking know, this is actually possible as an ending lmfao. I only just read the endings right after finishing my playthrough and this will be my ultimate goal the next time I play this V in my....prob 3 or 4 playthrough by then.
anyway, enough story. time for gameplay.
so I usually do stealth builds in these types of games. I chose to go with a stealthy throwing knife build (very fun!) after deciding pistols and bladed weapons that aren't knives weren't really for me this time around. I haven't played a ton of stealth-based games, but generally what I've noticed is that they tend to give you routes/pathways to follow if you pay enough attention. like NPCs will have predefined walking routes, the environment will have certain openings/paths available to navigate and either avoid or kill incapacitate these enemies quickly and quietly. I don't feel like I got that sense in this game here? I dunno if it was poor stealth design, but I do think it was this:
this game really REALLY wants you to utilize a cyberdeck, it feels like. interacting with the environment, whether it's creating distractions or blinding enemies or whatever, seems to be the goal with really working with stealth. I can't say that I hate it, esp since that's a part of the game world, but sometimes doing stealth feels more difficult than it should be because of this perceived expectation to...create your own routes and pathways so to speak. the last like...10-15 hours of my playthrough, I ditched the cyberdeck and went with a sandevistan but had invisibillity cloaking to make up for the lack of a deck. still fun but it did feel like I was using cloaking as a crutch to get out of LOS when spotted lol.
I have no opinions on guns and gunplay in this game as I haven't use them yet, but I'm sure I'll have thoughts for 2.0.
text messages were really cool lol. I know they are bascially just predefined messages but I still liked that and I loved how you can talk to characters on holo instead of visiting them in person. idk I'm a sucker for stuff like this.
the perk system is not great, I oftentimes felt confused on what perks to even get because a lot of them were underwhelming and felt more like Fallout 3's "numbers go up" options. the overhaul 2.0 patch will apparently give us more options to play with in terms of changing gameplay so I am hoping the changes will be reminiscent of going from Fallout 3 -> New Vegas in perk style.
Cyberware is great and this is where I feel the game really opens up in playstyle compared to the perks. I'm happy to see this is being extended and armor will be tied to cyberware instead of clothing in 2.0.
vehicles are cool. I like the variety in them but I feel like there could be more. additionally there's so many of them available for free that it almost makes no sense to buy them unless you're just doing completionist stuff. the handling is fucking awful and I hope that improves in the patch.
Night City is absolutely fucking gorgeous in a dirty and grungy kinda way. I've lived in a major city for most of my life and it def gave me that....really raw inner-city feel with people walking fucking everywhere, cars that nearly won't stop til they hit you, stores and shit everywhere, gang members hanging out on the corner or in front of stores, police stopping someone for questioning, etc. I just love it. a lot of it is window dressing. you can't go into like 99.99% of the stores and whatnot in the game. that might bother some folks, and that's understandable, but I'm completely fine that it's all for show. It helps the atmosphere.
I suppose I could talk about how well this game presents the genre as a whole but...I can't. I don't have the background history and knowledge of the IP itself or the genre to really talk about it in detail. If this game comes across as "baby's first cyberpunk experience" or doesn't go too hard in the punk direction then....fine, I guess? Whatever? I still enjoyed it lol. I would like to experience more cyberpunk as my experience so far has been limited to Shadowrun Returns and Dragonfall, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", and Blade Runner. But yeah I'm not an expert here so I mainly just wanted to talk about the gameplay and presentation.
anyway I think that's about all to talk about really. this was more just...stream of consciousness and rambling than anything lol. I had a really awesome time with the game and thought, despite the shitty launch and character creation thing about gender, that it's def worth checking out. can't wait for the DLC and 2.0 update because I will likely eventually talk about stuff that may or may not have changed. this is gonna be the game I focus on heavily for the next few months until I get sick of it. then I might start exploring with mods.

AAHHH!!! I *finally* got to play a little more Phantom Liberty today öahjsdföasklfasfhdfs
First I wanted to riot slightly cause GoG didn't find my install anymore (but rescanning folders did the trick).
Man OH MAN. I'm really just rambling about how fucking cool this game is below the cut, but beware of spoilers!!
"How the fuck do I keep ending up in these situations..."
I played all the way up to meeting Reed and agreeing to work with him back in the President's hideout. This was also the point up until I'd seen the gameplay at Phantom Liberty Tour back in August, but I also saw a loooot of new stuff o.o The demo back then started at entering the Stadium (when V walks through that area with cyberarms hanging from the ceiling) - stopped at meeting Myers in the crashed plane - continued at arriving at the hideout with her and then ended, as I said, with shaking hands with Reed.
SO. The whole "how do we get the president to the hideout" sequence was completely new to me AND MAAAN. That Chimera fight was so good like?? The whole setup and everything, I didn't expect such a big and epic boss fight so early on in the expansion at all, really sets the tone I guess xD First V gets his face bashed in by the President, then gets his ribs broken by this thing, things can only get better from here on. That whole section gave me such Bioshock vibes actually like... the Art Deco architecture the "amazing city that turned out so awful" vibes, it's impeccable, and I love it so so much. Really gotta take some time to properly explore everything (and now I gotta wait for Reed to call me back so, best opportunity).
I saw that thing under the tarp and was like "oh yeah, later on in the story this is gonna come back to bite me in the ass" - only that in this case "later" was "five minutes later" not "10 story missions later" as I anticipated XD
Also, I gotta say, I really don't trust Myers or Songbird much at this point with their intentions. I mentioned this previously... how convenient for Songbird to know to contact V via the Relic, but how the hell did she know about it in the first place, that he had it, where he was at, etc.? And then, in the Space Force One Wreck there was the shard with the answer! They knew about the Konpeki heist and two involved mercs through an informant potentially working at Arasaka. Yet, when I then deliberately chose a dialogue later on where V was like "yeah, I got Arasaka's Relic stuck in my head" Myers was all "oh, what really! how peculiar!". And maybe she really didn't know and I'm reading too much into it, but I'm really not liking her vibes atm at all XD (as a character though she's so cool, not at all how I'd picture a typical NUSA president, and I get the impression she doesn't really like the role all that much - I wanna read up on her background lore as soon as I'm done playing XD). AND. The shard on the plane specifically mentions Johnny on the Relic AND I'M CALLING IT NOW like I called it before, I BET they're really after Johnny's engram to do some experimenting with it for some fucked up Militech scheme. And in return V gets to live or some crap. URGH. I hope I'm wrong but I said it before "Phantom Liberty" (if you read it as in "a ghost that was freed" or "no real freedom") screams to me that this all boils down to something happening to Johnny in a messed up way in the end in exchange for V's life. Analogue to the Devil ending, but instead of Arasaka you have Militech/NUSA (if I'm wrong, please don't spoiler it to me, and if I'm right or close, please don't spoiler it either XD I wanna see just how far off I am myself XDD)
Songbird being MIA is hmmm... Not quite suspicious, but I'm wondering if she is still alive or maybe also doomed to be a construct now, but I'm really not sure. It would be kinda disappointing, I'd like to meet her in person still and am excited to see what she is gaining in all of this. I like the tragic "gifted criminal kid turned government asset" trope a lot and I'm curious to see how her story develops.
I'm also loving all the lifepath specific dialogues so much, I'm actually learning something new now and then about what Vince's Arasaka job was actually truly like at the core!
Also Myers roasting him for not having had a high enough security clearance to know about Reed xDD So rude! But I'm so so so curious how Ex-Arasaka agent with occasional homesickness to the corporate world and FIA-Sleeper agent with a big Arasaka-grudge are gonna work together o.o
I feel like, they're either really gonna see eye-to-eye very much or will continue to clash over and over and V is gonna come out as the loser at the end of this xD But currently, me as the player I'm trusting no one, and Vince as being caught up in all of this tries to play nice and be on everyone's good side but behind the scenes does not trust any of them one bit either xD It's really more a one hand washes the other kinda deal for him with no long-term obligations.
I'm also LOVING Johnny in all of this so far like... Vince and he don't get along that well most of the time for a variety of reasons. And so far, even though I got the Sun ending as my canon (as of right now), I feel like Vince acted more out of desperation than real trust or anything in going down that path and not any other. So I think Phantom Liberty *might* be the storyline that has been missing for me personally so far to really legitimize to myself that Vince would trust Johnny enough to let him take over his body for that last mission or go on a suicide run through Arasaka Tower with him. They are really seeing eye to eye on a lot of the stuff that's going on, both paranoid and suspicious, both not liking to swear any oaths or work for the FIA or anything like that. Bonding over their shared dislike for all the secrecy and scheming xD
Speaking of timelines, I found an ingame date for the 16th of June about an meeting Myers was to attend and another meeting scheduled for June 18th - sounding like the 16th is already passed at this point and the plane crash probably happening on the 16th or 17th or something like this... which completely throws my previously established timeline overboard :D But also stretches the canonical timeline a bit, if my assumptions are right, which would be nice and a lot more realistic than "like, a month, for all of that to happen". (For reference, in my timeline for Vince without PL I put the last quest on June 9th).
But that's only speculation ofc!
Then I also had my first vehicle gig for Muamar and omggg I loved this little convo with him so fucking much?? Like, this really built up his character so nicely, and the whole car stealing scheme would also be super down Vince's alley XD
And this exchange I LOVED sm:
Vince, car nerd surpreme, offering to fix the Cap's car, and Muamar's response: certain things I don't do halfway -> my clothes, my cut, my cars. Vince 100% seconds that sentiment XDD Like, so far I have to admit Muamar never really grabbed me that much as a character and I felt like he and Vince probably didn't have much in common. I was wrong XD
I also wanted to pay Mr. Hands a visit in his funky pyramid, but he wouldn't let me in yet. I'm so looking foward to finally playing his gigs now :D And seeing what else Dogtown has to offer in terms of stories and side jobs :o
Others mentioned it already, but I'm loving this place's design so so much... it feels like a different city altogether, the style of the buildings and everything is so unique and it's such a biiiig sprawling place o.o
And a random little thing I noticed, there's a lot of little cinematic moments now (the contextual removal of the HUD for conversations for example is such a good new feature). And occasionally the camera will automatically pan to interesting events or V's optics zoom in automatically - it was a bit weird the first time it happened but I really like it in a way? I noticed it during the part of rescuing Myers where you had to sneak past the huge Barghest drone (also such a good good moment, I'm loving all the stealth, parkour, and whatnot, the level design is *so good* hhhhh).
And finally, when I decided "okay, I'm gonna go to bed now" and was just about to close the game... I got a text message from Kerry I didn't know yet :DDD
(the fucking emojis with noses, Kerry pls, your age is really showing)
Like... I did not expect new texts from the LIs, and yeah, this got me really excited xD (and yeh I obviously had to read all the different outcomes and there *are* some differences depending on what you text back. I love it sm). AND. Then I called him. And there's new conversations about the events of PL too??? Hello?
Man I wish there was something like that for the other missions but obviously, with how late-game Kerry's romance is that sadly doesn't make much sense. So this is also something that made me tremendously happy (and also adds some new depth and bits and pieces to Kerry's character, which I'm always so here for XD). Exicted to see if there's more to talk about with him as the expansion progresses - I doubt it, but I'm ready to be surprised, maybe also by the other main NPCs that you're not in a relationship with.
That one V will definitely bear in mind for whatever is to come. Hhhhh I'm so excited!!

Comics this week ?
Superman #10 - Wish the Old West story had gone longer and Terra-Man’s showing wasn’t as good as I hoped, but Redondo’s art still made this an enjoyable issue. Ending confirms Lena II is not the person wearing the Lexcorp power armor. Betting it's her aunt, Lena I (Lex's sister), last we saw of her she was imprisoned under Lexcorp tower by Lex during his SuperLex phase. Guess where the Revenge Squad breaks into during their assault on Lexcorp Tower? With Lex's extended family becoming more prominent, she's the only one left who hasn't shown up and is still alive.
Superman: Lost #10 - Final issue is out and it’s… interesting. On one hand the science of it all kinda makes sense and I can sorta follow along with how Priest managed to cut the proverbial Gordian knot he tied for himself. It all ends up being a fakeout of course, Hope’s baby isn’t Clark’s at all, it’s the kid of the guy she killed. Clark yanks a version of himself from earlier in the timeline and sends him back to Lois so she can get her husband back rather than the stranger he’s become. It’s an interesting approach in line with Priest’s love of messing with the timeline. Emotionally though… I dunno I don’t like how Priest ended up doing fake outs at every turn. Given this ends with there being two Supermen, one who is still the “classic” version and the other who has changed so much in 20 years, I don’t get why he didn’t just do the same story except Clark actually did cheat and had a kid with Hope. Ending would have been the same, he yanks an "unspoiled" version of himself from earlier in the timeline to be with Lois while white suit Superman accepts he’s changed too much to return to his old life. That would have been more satisfying to me personally, and taken more advantage of this being an Elseworld. Enjoyed the story all the same.
World’s Finest #23 - Gog's motive here reminds me of the motivation for the Big Bad of Arcaneum. Stories where the afterlife is a real thing raise interesting moral questions that I enjoy seeing explored. What Gog is doing is monstrous, but his plan to kill Darkseid via a suicide mission that will also guarantee all the heroes who die undertaking it get into Heaven/Valhalla is super fucked up because it does make a twisted sort of sense. If you know Valhalla is real and you know how to get there, is it a terrible thing to ensure that a bunch of people go there even if you use reprehensible means? They get to live forever in bliss after all. Of course the Supermen aptly demonstrate my feelings regarding that this issue. Looks like Darkseid is going to thin out the heroic ranks regardless unfortunately, maybe Gog will get what he wants after all.
GL: WJ #5 - I can't decide if John continuing to use a construct of his sister to set his mom at ease is wholesome or fucked up. Can something be both at the same time? I feel like it will end badly. Totally get why he does it, had a similar experience with my grandma. There's no happy ending where dementia is concerned. It does call attention to how both Stewart and the Queen are using the dead for their own purposes. Stewart is obviously morally better, he’s not enslaving his sister’s soul and all he wants is to help his mom, but it is a point of overlap between the two. Another great moment is where he tells Shepherd that heroes are as fragile as the people they protect, and flashes to his mom was so good. This series has done a great job showing John's emotional core beneath his stoic exterior.
JLvGvK #4 - Aquaman unleashing a Kraken to beat back the Monsterverse Kaijus is the kind of dumb fun I’m here for.
Hellblazer #1 - Team doesn’t miss a beat from where they left off, great start. For a second I was hoping to see Levi Kramel show up instead of Holland, but the swamp being turned into a golf course is the first acknowledgement I’ve seen of how the South has become more “business friendly” since the 80s when Moore wrote about the area.
Wonder Woman #5 - As a "Circe is Wonder Woman's archnemesis" believer, it made me happy that Sovereign was nervous about recruiting her and conceded she might possibly use him to her advantage rather than the other way around. Turning Steel into a pig before accepting the offer made me cackle too. Also as someone who thinks Grail doesn't have to suck, Sovereign respecting her enough to recruit her in person was a nice touch. Grail being the evil dominatrix certainly is one way to build her up as a foil for Diana. Glad King is not having all of the Wondy villains meekly follow Sovereign's lead, they all show that they're not lackies like Steel is by bullying him when he tries to recruit him. What the hell is going on with Angle Man though, I'm intrigued. Yara sounded off but I do think King mostly understood what drives each of the Girls. Yara's a hothead who cares underneath all her bravado, Cassie is the tomboy who became more comfortable with herself after meeting Diana, and Donna is Diana's little sister and thus the most like her. Donna challenging Diana to playing video games actually made me smile, do I like Donna now? I don’t know if I want to connect with that character given her convoluted nature, but King is winning me over. And yeah I loved how they decided fuck their oaths actually, they were going to help Diana like it or not.
Fantastic Four #16 - Lovely issue featuring the kids, I’m a sucker for whenever it’s shown that while she might be smarter than her dad, Val is still just a kid and makes mistakes. I also like how Franklin is portrayed as a capable pilot, something he has in common with his Uncle Johnny.

for prompts, lee gogs ler dream with 🐷 snort? 👀
Im glad you share my love for lee gogs always 🥰 you know the way to my heart, one of my absolute fav pairings forever
word / prompts based off this post! 🐷

“Ihihihis thihis necessary?!” George struggled through his giggles, frantically clawing at the couch cushions and pillows, flinging them blindly behind him in the hopes of hitting Dream and dislodging the hands from his ribs.
“What do you mean ‘is this necessary’? George you SNORTED, I need to find what made you do that!” Dream let out a wheeze as George let out a strained screech, high pitched and long as he attempted to pull himself to his feet by the couch arm and away from Dream’s grasp. Dream almost felt bad for how much stronger he was than the older boy, but he was more focused on finding out how to make George snort again.
George yelped as Dream yanked him back onto the couch, his back hitting against the larger boys chest with arms folding over his waist before he could protect himself. The brunette began to scream once again, Dream not doing anything besides laughing at how much George was tiring himself out by thrashing around.
“You done?” Dream giggled after a few minutes when George finally gave up, his hands tiredly pulling lightly at Dream’s wrists. The blonde gave his ribs a few pokes, smile growing wider as the smaller boy squeaked and giggled while squirming in his arms. Eventually Dream’s poking fingers made their way up to the highest rib, right under George’s armpit, when he heard it again. George had snorted. Dream felt him freeze, going completely still as he held his breath, hoping Dream would leave him alone. Dream smirked, chuckling and pushing his finger against his rib with a little more pressure.
“Bingo.”
George let out a squeal, followed by loud cackles as Dream targeted the specific rib with precision, squirming and kicking to try and escape the tickling fingers. However, once George let out a few more snorts, he knew it was over. Dream wasn’t about to stop tickling, and he certainly would never let George live this down.

Finally, FINALLY season 4 is finished. This season, my gog, I’ve been trapped here longer than Etheria was in Despondos.
I remember when this show as a highlight in the line up. I kept forgetting I was even liveblogging at points. It didn’t cause me stress like some of the other things I covered did. Then I finished Season 3 forever ago, and I put this show on hiatus to start something new, and season 4 dropped on me all of the sudden.
When I finally got around to watching this season, I was met with this really dark plotline where the rebellion characters are suddenly infighting and the villains were jumping at the chance to wreck them. That stress that was never attached to this series came in full force. And thinking there was a long time to the end, I dropped this series I think about, four episodes into the season?
I learned later that the show ended in season 5. Little did I know, I was actually on the home stretch. Knowing that, I eventually got back into the series, only for my productivity to slow to a crawl over the past couple years or so. Because of that, it’s felt like I’ve been in this fucking season forever.
But it’s done, and this show should be easier to watch going forward as we can only go up from here.
Fantastic episode, wish I could have had bigger reactions to the sword splitting, Light Hope’s death, and DT’s teardown. I guess that’s not the reaction that was in the cards for me today. I guess I just wanted to see this chapter of my life come to a close.
For now, I’m just going to relish the sense of accomplishment of clearing this hurdle finally.
Before I move on to Sailor Moon, I’m going to do the first episode of RWBY Volume 9 in the coming days, so look forward to that!
Thank you all for joining me today. I love you all so very much!
(Season 5 coming eventually!)

{Blossoming Reunion}
Just finished writing the small story of Carina’s arrival to the manor. Tbh I kinda give up near the end nor did I wanted to make it so detailed so it is kinda rushed but I hope you guys still enjoy it!!
Flynn stood patiently in front of the entrance to the manor, awaiting the arrival of the new survivor, Carina. She was someone he had known and grown up with in the circus, and their bond was so strong that she felt like a sister to him. However, he couldn't help but feel conflicted about the situation.
"Why am I the one who has to guide her?" Flynn wondered. He didn't dislike the idea, but he was unsure of how he should react when he seeing her again. After all, he had disappeared without a trace for nearly a year, leaving only a note behind. He knew that everyone who cared about him, including Carina, must have been worried sick and thinking the worst had happened to him.
He let out a sigh and rehearsed in his mind what he would say to her, preparing himself for the truth. He hoped she wouldn't be too upset with him. And then there was the matter of explaining Phineas to her. He had wanted Phineas to join him in greeting Carina, but Phineas' anxiety got the best of him, causing him to retreat to his room. Flynn had left Poppy to help Phineas to calm down while he was away.
His thoughts were interrupted as the door suddenly swung open. As he laid eyes on Carina, he was taken aback, and it seemed she felt the same. They both stood frozen, exchanging a look of disbelief and more of a confusion on Carina’s side. Carina couldn't believe that the boy before her was Flynn, who had been missing for a whole year. Before she could gather her thoughts, Flynn flashed a wide smile and rushed towards her, embracing her in a big hug. The force of the hug caused them both to tumble to the ground, but Flynn's joy was evident in his voice as he expressed how much he had missed her.
"Carina! OH MY GOG!!! I can't believe I finally get to see you again! It's been so long,if only you knew how much I have missed you!” Flynn exclaimed, still holding onto her tightly while swinging his legs.
Carina's mind was filled with a whirlwind of questions, but for now, all she could do was let out a relieved cry and shed tears of happiness at the sight of Flynn, alive and safe. She held onto him tightly, unwilling to let go, and managed to say through her tears, "WHAAA!!! FLYNN, IS THAT REALLY YOU? I-I THOUGHT YOU WERE K-KIDNAPPED OR WORST! *sniff* I THOUGHT I’D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN! WHAAA!!!”
It took some time for Carina to calm down and release her grip on Flynn, allowing him to finally breath. He explained his reasons for leaving and coming to the manor, leaving out any mention of his dark deeds or Phineas for now, as he knew it would be overwhelming for her. So he thought it is best to take things slowly, allowing her to adjust to the situation first. Although, Carina scolded Flynn for his actions, but eventually, they began exploring the manor together and discussing the "game" that she would be playing form now on giving she now join the manor and Flynn also introduced her to various individuals in the manor, offering guidance on who to befriend and who to avoid. Over the course of their conversation, their faces were painted with genuine happiness.
{meanwhile}
“Hehe… her smile is as bright as ever!”
Phineas was observing Flynn and Carina's interaction from his own room, using his ability to watch over them through the unseen eyes that’s following them. Seeing Carina brought about a mix of emotions for him, but he was uncertain about how to approach her, now as a ghost and especially as a hunter. He knew he shouldn't worry too much, but it was easier said than done… He held Poppy close, finding comfort in their plushy form and comforting words, and tried to reassure himself that everything would turn out fine. Deep down, he truly hoped it would.

The worst thing about Blasphemous is that they never added Achievements for any of the expansions (fyi: all included in the price of the game now).
Stir of Dawn added New Game+ with three choices of “Penitence” that make the game harder (you can only do one per run, and each gives you a unique bead on the next NG+), a series of five new bosses, and a gold sink donation box that gives you a bunch of bonuses, including a unique skin when you max it out.
Strife and Ruin added a Boss Rush mode, a series of five platforming challenges (that are part of a crossover with Bloodstained), and new prayers and beads.
And Wounds of Eventide added two new bosses that you have to beat to get a new Heart which adds a second phase to the second to last and final boss fights which gives you the True ending.
I’ve done all of these now because they were fun but I crave external validation of the matter!

Bought a gallon capacity (four liters, actually) insulated water jug, mostly on a whim. It’s not bad but it doesn’t really offer much over my old stand by 40oz bottle beyond mild physical comedy. Every time I use it I legit feel like this:

Blasphemous, a 2D retro styled action platformer is on sale for 75% off (6.24$) on Steam, on GoG, AND on Nintendo’s store for the Switch (those are all links). Steam’s, at least, ends April 4th.
There’s a sequel announced for 2023 and that’s an instant buy for me now.
I started out kind of lukewarm on this game but by the time I beat the first boss, I was kind of in love? The platforming stuff gave me some big old school Prince of Persia vibes (maybe it’s the instant death spikes); and the combat is fun. Some of those exploration/metroidvania elements. It’s “Souls-like”, though the difficulty isn’t really turned up to 11, it’s just got the whole “parrying, death means you need to go reclaim something, health flasks that refill, story is mostly in item descriptions or hidden away” kinda thing. I know it’s been done before but I really loved the whole “Evil(er) Fantasy Catholicism” aesthetic.
CW: Lots of blood and gore and some pixelated bits and bobs, if you dislike that. And obviously some, uh, look at the name.

My #1 post of 2022
Had another dream featuring tumblr mutuals and follows.
It was a fairly sprawling dream, and had something almost like an adventure narrative except it was really chill. Basically I went from place to place via various methods, accomplishing tasks. A lot of it blurred out of memory, but near the end I was at some kind of... distribution center? A giant blocky gray building full of offices and warehouses. I seem to recall it was a government service. I was definitely there with somebody else to pick up a large package. But I walked into one waiting room, possibly looking for water, and a bunch of trans and non-binary people from tumblr where there (I remember @beste-glatisant and @transgenderer, maybe @natalieironside?) and we shot the shit for a minute, and I mentioned how I’d run into TRAINS (I think but can’t be sure that this was something that actually happened in the dream, but I forgot except for the part where I referenced it later, during the same dream); which was... some kind of organization, except you always refer to its members/representatives as being the organization itself? The name is an acronym (and I think the T was for Trans). And all of you were excited and amazed and talked about how rare it is to run into them “organically”.
I was so caught up in pondering the implications, and the odd grammar, that I woke myself up.

Even Superman isn't invincible! Gog's spear gives Supes an agonizing Kryptonite poisoning! He's bleeding a lot and Kryptonite is entering his blood circulation! Supes is in terrible unbearable pain! Look at his face, a grimace of agony! His mighty hands so helpless! Fingers curled! He knows he's done! Finally defeated!

Hello!!! For the questions - 1, 4, 6 + 9 for “the american experience”! It’s so cute and fluffy even though Dream is a meanie 💞
hello!! dream IS a meanie but that's one of my favorite parts about this fic hehehehe 😈
answers about this fic
--
1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?
okay im gonna be so honest I could've SWORN this fic was inspired by an hc/concept/ask that me and llama talked about but I just looked through BOTH of our blogs from the week or so before this fic was posted and I cannot find anything??? what the hell??? so I guess I was wrong lmao and I guess I was just thinking about jetlagged gogs and boom! fully completed fic, done
4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?
I have a few for this one!! I'm actually a big fan of how I wrote Dream's teasing in this one, and George's reactions are quite cute too <33 I particularly like this part here (more than One line but it's okay)
"Hmm, I wonder if the other foot is just as ticklish as this one?"
"No!"
"No?"
"Mm-mm!"
"It's not ticklish like the other one?"
"Mm-mm!"
"Well, then I guess you'll have no problem with me doing this, since you're obviously not ticklish here, right?"
just because I really like the playfulness of that little section. here are a couple more that I think are honorable mentions:
[Eventually, through all his wiggling, he managed to pull one of his ankles from Dream's headlock, using it to push at Dream's thigh in an attempt to put him away.] "Uh oh!"..."We got a man down, we gotta fix it!"
-
"Awww, poor Georgie can't handle a little tickling? Is the tickling too much for him?"
-
"Okay, I got you, we're gonna skip to the grand finale, alright?"..."Georgie? Is that alright?"
i like that last one a lot bc I think it's important to make it obvious that everyone involved is having a good time/no one is uncomfortable with the situation. tickling can be pretty intense sometimes, especially if you're not actively seeking it out, so I like to add that stuff in as much as I can :))
6: What makes this fic special or different from all your other fics?
this fic was actually the first time i've ever like Officially fully written feet tickles!! that may not sound too exciting but I went through such a long period of time thinking i DESPISED the idea of feet tickles but when i finally realized it was just the super intense side that wasn't for me (not that they're not awesome that way too, just not my personal cup of tea) I was able to write it the way I wanted to in a breeze so I think that's pretty cool!!
9: Were there any alternate versions of this fic?
if I'm remembering correctly I think I started writing a version of this fic that wasn't actually feet tickles? I didn't get very far into it because the transition always felt forced and unnatural to me while writing, so I tried to take a different approach and that's how we ended up with what we got. I did go back into the Google doc history and find the original, so here's a VERY brief portion of the original fic,,,,, as a treat :)
"Well," Dream began, fingers sliding up George's leg where they rested over his lap to stop at his hipbone. "I think I have an idea on how to keep you awake." Dream's thumb ghosted over the hem of George's shirt, slowly sliding underneath it and rubbing a calloused finger on the skin there. George looked up at him, eyes wide and eyebrows tense in confusion, until Dream ever-so-lightly scratched his nails up George's side. George tensed, sitting up and slightly arching away from Dream's hand with a gasp, until Dream flattened a hand on his stomach and pushed him back down.
#thank you so much for asking!! this was so fun#sorry it took a few days lmao i just started a new job recently so ive been Exhausted from it#ask games#mushiewrites#asks

No chapter update this month - some general updates instead (art, podfic potential, and more)
With a few more days left in July, wanted to let any of y’all who are here reading my fic Galaxy of Glass that there won’t be an update until next month. I want to take the rest of July to primarily focus on my thesis project for school. Although I’ve gotten a lot of writing done in advance editing takes a little longer especially now that there’s more than just me doing the editing. I have an upcoming chapter I’m really excited for those of y’all reading to see and hoping to have it out before I start my semester.
With that I’ve got a few more updates I wanted to mention:
Since we’re moving into another narrative arc that’s bringing together a lot of moving parts in the story, I want to take some time to clean that up.
My partner and I have gone back and have been slowly editing old chapters to just clean up some weird wording, make other parts more concise, etc. These edits won’t change the overall story. What we’re hoping for is that it’ll help the flow and pacing earlier on and help with continuity a little better.
I’m going to keep slowly adding in illustrations/little drawings here and there because y’all seem to really like them. Those will take a little longer since the work I do for school requires a lot of drawing already, which can be physically intense. This is definitely doubled that I have disabilities that can cause pain and aggravate nerve problems in my arms, so hence the art part will be at my own physical pace. (Funny enough, the reason I’ve slowly gotten back into writing is because it’s a hobby that doesn’t aggravate the ill effects of these disabilities and is simultaneously mentally stimulating and fun.)
One of the major updates I wanted to give though is I’ve also been in the process of researching how to post GoG as a podfic.
I’ve had a few friends interested in the fic who wanted to give it a read but haven’t been able to since it’s y’know, a lot--so far it’s sitting at a little under 69k (lol nice) and the final word count will definitely be well over 100k by the time the fic’s finished. And reading a 100k+ fic just isn’t always the most accessible thing, but one of these friends suggested making something like an audiobook and I was like damn dude that’s a fucking amazing idea! I’m still doing my research into how to make a solid podfic version to make this story more accessible. (Also don’t hesitate to say anything on this topic, I’m absolutely open to suggestions if any of you have had any experience or are more familiar with this than I am!)
Lastly, I wanted to thank y’all for your support and encouragement! I know I probably say that a lot, but I shit you not it means a lot to me. I started writing this story for myself and debated for months if I should post it or not. This past year in particular has been a lot more medical appointments and getting out of one of those appointments to see your messages pop up on my phone (whether from here or AO3) just really brightens up my day. So a hundred times over, thanks for all your support!
