Spoilers for the 4.6 Arlecchino story quest
Honestly I think it was pretty good but I also feel like it fell in some places
That one kid who ratted out the others was pretty interesting as a simple consequence of his environment. I think the formatting of cutscenes and the still images was a neat idea and Clervie and Arle’s story was the highlight because even with the knowledge we players have we still learned new things and waited in anticipation for what the characters would find out.
But I also feel like Hoyo absolutely chickened out with making Arle too evil. Like they made her sort of morally dubious but then stopped before she could get more interesting. I said before in another post I don’t mind her legitimately caring for the Hearth kids but I also feel like there should have been more consequence with the fact she bluntly stated she kills traitors. With what the story does with the bottled flames it kind of feels weird and also negates the sadness of characters like the Hearth kids who were implied to have died in Sumeru or Lyudochka and the work she did to escape.
Also I have weird feelings on the fight and with Traveler escaping her grasp but then being unable to actually win. I might make another post about that but in short I get the idea but I feel it was really poorly done
Anyway, where’s the Traveler lore Hoyo cause this quest made me want the Traveler lore

do you guys ever think about how Wyll is introduced as an archetypal fantasy hero, but then it turns out he’s a warlock, who made a pact with a devil. Do you ever think about how Ansur is described as this fantastical dragon of myth, but then when you find him, he’s turned into an undead monstrosity. Do you think about how when Wyll does the right thing, he is punished to become more monstrous. Do you think about how as Wyll’s warlock powers grow, his spells get more horrific. Do you think about how Ansur was killed by his closest friend. Do think about how Wyll was cast out by the most important person in his life. do you guys ever think about Ansur and Wyll.
#tw mild gore#bg3#wyll ravengard#bg3 ansur#baldur's gate 3#bg3 spoilers#ask to tag#wahoo had a lot of fun with the colors in this#we could have had it alllllll wyll shouldve been able to bond with the dragon#like ough how do you think wyll feels about casting spells like eyebite and blight#the ending of his quest is so.... lackluster#i like the emperor i think hes really interesting but like... he does kinda swoop in and take over the end of wyll's personal quest...

[ID: Digital illustration in color of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. It’s two 3 panel comics that illustrates the same sequence. The first focuses on Vash. In the first panel, he’s in a hurried motion with a worried expression. In the second, he’s stopped, huffing a breath out as he’s scanning for Wolfwood (not pictured). In the final panel, he breaks out into a relieved smile, eyes lighting up with warm cheeks.
The second comic focuses on Wolfwood. In the first panel, he’s looking downwards to the right with a cigarette in his mouth, wearing a neutral expression. On his face are notable scratch marks to indicate him being in a fight prior. In the second panel, he turns towards the viewer, lifting his head as he notices Vash (as from the previous sequence). In the final panel, he smiles warmly with teeth and holds up a peace sign. END ID]
[ID: Sketchy black and white drawings of Vash and Wolfwood, continuing off the comic. Wolfwood’s back is to the viewer while Vash’s profile can be seen, now by Wolfwood’s side. He has a bright smile as he says to Wolfwood, “You’re safe!” Wolfwood responses, bearing a grin too, “Who do ya think yer talking to? ‘Course I am. Look, I got them alive.” He points to two figures who are tied up and have comically large head bumps. Vash looks to them with an uncertain expression as he says, “Oh! You did, huh… Are you sure they’re alive?” Wolfwood, with a more irritated expression, responds “What, didn’t think I could do it?” Vash says, “No, no! I knew you could!” and pats Wolfwood on the cheek and his head comfortingly. END ID]
#vashwood#vash the stampede#nicholas d wolfwood#trigun#trigun maximum#vw running around towns doing little odd jobs and getting caught up in townsfolk conflict when someone gets taken hostage or smth...#solving it with a little bit of violence but ultimately everyone is alive and well and it's over in like 20 mins before they go about the#rest of their day. i feel like that kind of mundanity or chaos if something that vash is a little used to but probably not wolfwood#i dont think he'd be getting dragged out on assassination quests like every 2 days prior to vash but i also think he'd have left towns#quickly. chatted with townsfolk but ultimately stayed in his lonesome. had more time to stew in his own thoughts and when he does get a job#to kill it's something that weighs on his mind for days. regardless of how chaotic is with vash i like to think it's a lot more healing#then what he's been accustomed to. at the end of the day they get a few scuffs and brusies but theyre alive!!! and no lives were lost#and theyre within reach of each other and get to chat about the stupid shit vash dragged them into. in another life wolfwood would#probably be happy doing just that#ruporas art

i would like to take a moment to describe something that happens in the moralist route that drives me absolutely insane, for the sake of the people who've played through DE but cannot be bothered to be a centrist, just so you can... idk, inherit my brainrot (endgame spoilers ahead):
in the moralist route, the event quest you get for it is one where you get soona (or noid? potentially?) to help you turn the statue at the roundabout into a huge antenna to contact the moralintern airship that's flying above revachol, in order to tell them about the upcoming civil war in martinaise and/or the 2mm pale hole in the church and so on.
while you're trying to establish communications, you run into a lot of radio interference. it's a lot of people speaking in different languages, number stations, and so on, but then all of a sudden, you hear kim's voice.
"it's cold now..." he says. "... someone's been maintaining it, the wiring has been repaired..."
when you turn to look at him, kim's just as confused as you are. he insists he hasn't said anything, he doesn't know where that's coming from. it sure SOUNDS like him, but how can it be him when he's right there next to you?
soona cuts in and explains, this is just some pale interference. entroponetic crosstalk, it happens. "a particularly eerie speciment, but still just a harmless piece of the past returning to surface." and kim's like "right, i just wish i could remember what i was talking about..." that mystery solved, you resume your mission and continue trying to contact the airship.
but then, much, much later, after the tribunal, when you arrive at the island, you both walk into the seafort to find a generator. kim places his hand on it to check for warmth and then announces to you:
"it's cold now, but someone's been maintaining it. the wiring has been repaired."
neither of you acknowledge it out loud. there's no time, you have to question the suspect, you have to close the case, you have to move on. but still, inland empire reminds you, haven't you heard that before?
(and if kim doesn't make it to the island somehow, if he gets shot during the tribunal and you end up taking cuno with you, he's the one who checks the generator instead. "this shit's cold," he says. and inland empire Immediately senses that something's wrong.
"'It's cold now,' he was supposed to say. 'But someone has been maintaining it. The wiring has been repaired'..."
"But he's not here to say it. Something *else* got in the way. Events *intervened*...")
#disco elysium spoilers#de#just take one of the more mundane lines in the game & turn them into a fucking spectacle why won't you. Jesus christ#''yeah the pale contains information from the past'' And also the future. and alternate universes#but how would anyone even figure that out? how do you even verify that? haha. help#this is skipping over a lot of details btw. this is just the general gist of it. you should play the moralist quest if you have the chance#i think this counts as a halloween post. appropriately spooky shit i feel

genshin impact gif challenge ✦
[1/?] archon quests → interlude chapter, act iii: inversion of genesis
“do you think there are any differences between your present self and your previous and future incarnations? if not, then what are the differences between humans and puppets? whoever has tasted the joys and sorrows of life in the human realm is human. whoever has loved and lost, cried with grief, howled with rage at the tragedy of death that eclipses the miracle of life... they are human too."
#genshin impact#genshinedit#genshinimpactedit#genshinet#scaramouche#wanderer#mine*#scaramouche*#gifchallenge*#tw flashing#i finally found a way to format quests!!#it hit me yesterday as i was finding a quote to put for raiden then boom here we are#i was gonna make the whole thing black and white and blue hence the first two gifs#but i didn't end up liking how it looked so more colours it is 🫶🏻#also chose a long ass quote for the caption (it's two separate voicelines into one)#but i felt it was important to emphasize the puppet and human description that nahida tells scara#ahhhhh i love this quest a lot i remember having mixed feelings about him erasing his identity when i first played through it#but then i rewatched it again later and ended up liking it more bc it shows that not everyone can just erase themselves from irminsul#the same way rukkhadevata did#god i just miss sumeru so much it's still my fave of all the nations when are we going back y'all 😩#pls give me more scara and nahida interactions i beg they're my favourite platonic pairing ever (besides kazuven ofc)

Connecting dots tonight (didn't connect shit, I've connected them, etc) because of this post about item descriptions to do with Sampo I saw a few days ago and! I feel like there are so many interesting things that could be implied from this!! Because the recipe for the High-Tech Protective Gear is given to you by Bronya (before the IPC invaded Belobog!), who says this little interesting tidbit about it:
This is an item from before the Eternal Freeze, 700 years ago. Even to the rest of the universe, it would be SORELY outdated. It cannot be made in Belobog anymore due to the loss of entire eras. It is effectively useless; this recipe had to be somewhere gathering dust, kept around solely for archival purposes. There is no reason for Sampo to know about this item or have any idea how it works and yet. AND YET. He's just running around selling knock offs!!
He shouldn't even know how to make these, but the fact that he does means Sampo either
had the blueprints from off-world before he came to Belobog (most likely but also most boring answer)
broke into Qlipoth Fort and copied down the blueprints (completely plausible - he's possibly shown doing exactly that in his splash art)
found another copy out in the ruins of the old world (also completely plausible - Sampo is astoundingly resilient against both the Fragmentum and the cold, as noted by Lynx haha)
Meanwhile, the Inferior Protective Gear recipe comes from an NPC in the underground, and when she gives it to you, she talks about building robots and the robot fighting scene sorry about the quality I didn't have screenshots for her dialogue so I had to use wiki
Which makes me feel like it's safe to say that the inferior gear is mostly being used in the underground, especially by the vagrants and their robots for fights, because...well, who else would use it? Cocolia has made it illegal to explore too far into the Snow Plains, and besides, it's way too dangerous for most civilians even WITH gear. The Silvermane Guards are funded by official sources, they have no reason to rely on Sampo for armor. So it makes sense for an underground mechanic to know the recipe; there's probably not as much market for it up in the overworld.
And if you look at the descriptions, you can see why this probably wasn't something that could be made in Belobog anymore; it requires a charging system of some sort.
We know it's not a problem with the basic materials because all three ingredients can be found right in the administrative district. But the underground only has two of them; somehow, despite being in the planet's crust, and literally crawling with robots...there is no metal down there. It isn't found anywhere, sold by anyone, or dropped by anything. And metal just so happens to be the one ingredient Sampo replaces in his knock off version.
The Inferior Gear uses trash instead, something which, going by the words of that same mechanic, is MORE than abundant in the underground- any good quality parts are extremely difficult to come by down there.
Anyway, all his shadiness aside, I love the implication that Sampo is smart enough to be able to take this item that no one else on the planet probably knows anything about, and was able to figure out what he could replace, and how, and with what, in order to make it easily accessible to the people of the underground, even without access to overworld resources. Because his version DOES work! It literally gives you the exact same amount of defense boost as the IPC one!
Someone should absolutely still knock him around for it, though, world's most slappable face fr fjkdsjfdkjafk
#hsr sampo#hsr sampo koski#sampo koski#honkai star rail#hsr#belobog#he's such a slimeball fjklsdajfkld#I feel like there is something to be said though about the fact that if anyone in the underground is buying this shit armor off Sampo like.#it's either his armor or it's nothing. the overworld isn't exactly sending them a lot of protective gear.#And I'm sure they'd rather have cheap armor they can make and afford themselves than nothing at all.#I wonder if Wildfire would be one of his customers for this stuff or not?#like I think Sampo would be a lot more upfront with them if they were- he's not stupid enough to bite the hand that feeds him.#And Natasha is probably his most important client. We already know Sampo smuggles weapons and is her arms dealer.#It's canon that he brought Seele her scythe-#-and I wonder if it's coincidence that Natasha uses a giant weapon that looks similar to the Silvermane hand canons.#I could totally see Sampo trying to sell his armor to ring fighters to fix the matches in his favor though FJKDLSJAFDKLJ#we already know he bets on the fight club from his About Luka line and his dialogue from the Cyrille the Fool quests#so I'm sure he'd be gambling on the robot fights out by Svarog's encampment too haha#do you think they have penny bets for the kids for that kind of fight#crying imagining Hook tagging along and betting single credits on the fights alongside Sampo's much heftier bets#she still wins more than he does JKLDJSKLAJDS

Ulysses obsession with the Courier is a special type of sad to me cause the Courier’s part was so important but so unwitting. They had no idea what was in the package they delivered and neither did he. Neither had an idea of what it could’ve done and the Courier was only caring out their job (mind you the Courier could be killed via notes in the express contract if they don’t). To them it was just another regular delivery to the divide and one that they likely thought would help, just like all the ones before.
It’s so tragic for Ulysses to hold so much ire to the Courier when it really was the case of it could’ve been anyone. Anyone could have delivered that package but they did and so he focused the blame on them and it destroys what he is trying to instill in the courier on a fundamental level.
#like yeah the courier delivered the package but in the end that’s a job#any random courier could’ve delivered it especially since we know in the past the factions were farther apart and this travel was a smidge#safer but courier six got it and this Ulysses blamed them#like I don’t care much for Ulysses because I think lonesome road embodies don’t shoot the messenger at it core#and what people focus on doesn’t focus on the fact that in the bigger picture#everything went wrong because two factions were at war and at some point the codes would have been delivered#and the divide destroyed cause with how close it is to NCR territory it would of been found#like there is an inevitable and too many people treat Ulysses as if he knows more or is more aware of the idiosyncrasies of conflict#when he’s like fundamentally flawed just at the standard of being a legion apologist STILL and just how focused he is on one persons#involvement cause yeah choices matter even the small one but I think Veronica’s quest says it best with a line from the courier#you can’t control what they do#like the courier couldn’t and can’t control what they deliver and yet it’s got them in hot water multiple times#like do you think they enjoy being shot or knowing they are indirectly responsible for activating the annihilation of a community#to me it’s hypocrisy to be willing to end the world or one world to prove a point and whatever argument made that only military factions#suffer forget there are innocent civilians suffering that had no part and Ulysses is no better than the Courier#I don’t like devils advocate and a lot of the dlc just feels like that but idk I know people love it but the depth is just not there for mr#ulysses fnv#fallout#fallout new vegas#courier six#the courier#lonesome road#the courier has very little personality outside what we give them but some lines and delivery paint a picture#like uhhhh undertale deltarune rules ig

why is late game content for MMOs always so tedious
maybe my character would like to retire from adventuring and run a successful bake shop instead of grinding the mandatory penis explosion event at the memorial group instance third anniversary double lunatic mode dungeon
#idk....also you should not need cash shop gear or a hundred million whatever gold equipment to finish main quests#I have paid a lot of money for a feeling of accomplishment in a virtual world but I'm not bout that life anymore... we gotta draw a line#you want me to buy a thousand dollars in items so i can sit under the boss' asshole praying for a decent weapon to fall out ?? hello ?

How am I supposed to be normal when I have to wait a whole week for Grover and Annabeth to learn Percy isn’t actually dead and they didn’t just loose another friend who sacrificed themselves to buy them more time and Annabeth didn’t just loose one of the only people who ever cared about her without making her earn it all because she wasn’t able to see he was tricking her and Grover didn’t break his promise to Sally and do you understand me? That after Percy fell Echidna and the chimera would have come after Annabeth and Grover which could only mean one thing and they had to leave the arch believing they failed? How long do you think they had to wait until Percy came out of the river? How long did they sit beside each other, not saying a word because they failed, they failed again and now they have to finish this quest alone?
#NO BUT SERIOUSLY DO YOU REALIZE HOW SICK GROVER MUST FEEL#he was supposed to keep percy safe#it was his entire job#sally made him swear it minutes before she died#percy chose him to come on the quest specifically because he believed grover would always have his back#annabeth was tasking him to take care of percy and get him to the river#and grover wasn’t able to stop him#percy was sick and half dead and grover still couldn’t stop him#you’re telling me you’re just going to make me leave him like that for a whole WEEK?#that poor BABY????#unacceptable I need a time machine right now#i’m so serious that cliffhanger was so rude and disrespectful i’m going to fight richard riordan in a denny’s parking lot#percy jackson disney+#percy jackson and the olympians#percy jackson#percy jackson spoilers#grover underwood#annabeth chase

me everytime anyone on youtube begins their take about totk saying it's "one of the best stories in the franchise"
#thoughts#totk#totk critical#when will my brain return from the imprisoning war...#it genuinely makes me feel like I'm not seeing the same end result as other people#that I'm having a stroke everytime I launch the game and I'm incapable of seeing whatever everyone else is seeing#because like#when it comes from newcomers to the franchise that only ever played botw I can excuse it#but people who have been with the franchise for decades???#have you guys not played majora's mask? wind waker? twilight princess? literally any other zelda game????#what are you guys seeing???????#even beyond the Everything Discussed To Death#the main quest dialogue would have you *laughed out* of most half-competent writers' room!!!!#that this opinion comes from a lot of gamers who would nitpick any other game to death in that department and are fine with this???#I will never understand

I think a huge part of why I like Nick so much is that you meet him and he’s pretty much instantaneously willing to do anything for you. He’s willing to literally lobotomize a dead man for you and THEN he’s willing to potentially die or get all his data corrupted or whatnot just so you can look through Kellogg’s memories. He does all this without expecting to even be paid. I mean it’s definitely concerning how little he looks after himself because I think he should probably have had at least a few more reservations about all that but boy, did it make me love him. The world is new and scary and wrecked but there’s a guy who you just met willing to die for you, willing to do anything for you to get your son back and willing to stick around long after that.
#fo4#fallout 4#nick valentine#i really do think its a crime that you can't romance him without mods i mean Come On#i feel like nick and the sole survivor have more chemistry than sole does with a bunch of the Actual romance candidates#and part of that i think is that 1. he's involved in a Lot of quests which gives you more time to get attached#and more time for you to get a grasp on his personality#and 2. being what i talked about in the post here. if youre playing the main quest he's literally one of the first main character you meet#and is SO ride or die for you.#*characters#and also the Parallels but yknow
