"how could anyone ship bloodweave they make no sense at all" did you think about their stories, their motives, their ailments, their shared hobbies, the subtle progression of their relationship throughout the acts, and how very similar they can be despite being different. i know that you didn't but if you had then perhaps you would understand why some people might ship them, especially since a) you can successfully romance them in an origin run thus making it possible, b) astarion already tries flirting with gale unprompted in act 1, and c) you can romance astarion with a good-aligned pc and romance gale with an evil-aligned pc. so, like. what's not clicking
#bloodweave#<- fuck it . look at my post fellow bloodweavers#you don't have to ship it yourself. but to pretend it's so whacky and outrageous and insane and a total crackship.....#cmon. you can easily take crumbs and make something out of it. you can easily take all of these similarities and force them to see them#and act on them in a way that the game doesn't. astarion comes on to him in act 1 and gale comes around later. you can easily#take that and run with it. ascended astarion being super ambitious meets the literal god of ambition.#like..... again.... you don't have to ship it..... but it's not insane lol.#and gale is good-hearted but he Does support some questionable things in the name of power bc thts his blind spot.#i just . You Can Just Say You Don't Personally Like It. that's a fine and dandy thing to say#i very much did not like st3ddi3 but i understood why ppl liked it even if it wasn't my cup of tea.#anyway. it's 3am and tumblr only ever wants to recommend me untagged anti-bw posts instead of actual bw content LMAO 😭😭😭#like girl why did u think i would enjoy that......... how is ur ai this bad bro like cmonnnnnnnnnn

Laceys Games and Valle Verde are so criminally underrated it's a real shame. I consume a lot of digital horror/arg content but truthfully those two are the best I've seen besides classic Petscop. The way they weave their narratives and their aesthetics are truly phenomenal. One of the reasons Petscop got so big when it did is because there was nothing really like it. I think the same can be said for both Lacey and Valle Verde, I wish there were more people who appreciated just how insanely good they both are. But, I suppose, it is always fun to be "niche"
#the biggest complaint people always have is oooohhhhh its so OVERSATURATED its all the same...#and i get that. to a certain extent#i think there is a Lot of digital horror/arg stuff out there especially nowadays i think it only becomes increasingly popular#but i think most of it is usually pretty good. i think sometimes you'll have something a little subpar like i didnt really care for#the man in the suit but even so i appreciate that someone probably put their heart and a lot of effort into making it and i like it just#bcuz of that. does that make sense?#and i think a lot of it is made by younger people as well. the good stuff is out there you just have to know where to look#or also understand that both genres as a whole are still pretty quote unquote new and also predominantly run by a younger generation#for an overall younger audience. when i say younger i mean like teenagers and young adults#although my bfs little brother loves the mandela catalogue and hes like 11 so maybe even younger#anyways this was kind of rambling but i highly recommend both laceys games and valle verde. its very rare that something like this#Actually scares/creeps me out but both have done so with flying colors.

OLD GROWTH AU
An AU where the first six arcs are all shuffled around! I wanted to see how long I could keep the Clans in the Old Forest, and play around with a different order for the arcs while still keeping the core plot points and storylines intact. I had some help from @wsoupofpain , and I am super down to talk about this AU at any time!
The Broken Code
POVs: Spottedleaf and Redtail
Thistleclaw, after being killed by Rosetail for grooming Spottedpaw, is accepted into StarClan. He begins planting false signs and eventually possesses Raggedstar, encouraging the Clans to punish and exile codebreakers. The Clans must come together to defeat him.
Brokentail kills his father, Raggedstar, ousting Thistleclaw from his body. Redtail then kills Thistleclaw’s spirit after Spottedleaf utilizes death berries to bring her brother’s spirit out of his body. Redtail becomes deputy.
Culture changes to be more about working together, and encourages treating the Code as being up to interpretation.
The Prophecies Begin
POV: Firestar
Tigerclaw attempts to take over ThunderClan, and eventually the whole forest. Firestar works to stop him, stopping Brokenstar and saving WindClan in the process. Eventually, the Forest Clans must defeat BloodClan, a ruthless group from the Twolegplace.
Culture changes to be more inclusive in WindClan and ThunderClan; ShadowClan and RiverClan are reeling from their support of Tigerstar.
A Vision of Shadows
B1: POV Squirrelpaw and Leafpaw. Squirrelpaw is sent on a journey to rebuild SkyClan. Brambleclaw tags along, and they successfully re-establish SkyClan, saving Petalnose from her Twoleg. In the Forest, something seems to be wrong with ShadowClan…
B2: POV Brambleclaw and Tawnypelt. In SkyCan, the journeying cats must help the new Clan fight invading rats to ensure that SkyClan can survive. In the Forest, Tawnypelt details the worsening condition of ShadowClan under Kin rule, including its eventual dissolution. Some of the remaining ShadowClan cats take refuge in ThunderClan, but many remain with the Kin, and a few simply vanish altogether.
B3: POV Feathertail and Squirrelflight. The Clans band together to drive the Kin from ShadowClan. In the chaos, Tallstar and Deadfoot are killed, leaving WindClan leaderless. The remainder of the Kin retreat to Highstones.
B4: POV Crowfoot and Leaffall. WindClan goes through a Civil War, caused by Tallstar and Deadfoot’s deaths. Before Tallstar’s death, Deadfoot had considered retiring and Tallstar had publicly planned to make Mudclaw deputy. However, Barkface finds a sign of a single slash mark and believes it to indicate that Onewhisker has been chosen by StarClan. However, the Clan cats are unable to reach the Moonstone. The two sides clash, and StarClan smites Mudclaw to end the conflict. The Kin leave Highstones soon after, allowing Onestar to become WindClan’s leader. His first act is to isolate the Clan.
B5: POV Tawnypelt and Brambleclaw. Tawnypelt goes on a little journey to retrieve cats who fled ShadowClan during the Kin takeover, helping to re-establish the Clan. Feathertail comes with her and joins ShadowClan because they are in love. ThunderClan grapples with a yellow cough outbreak. The Clans argue internally about how much they are obligated to help their neighbors when struggling themselves. With all the Clans preoccupied with their own difficulties, the Kin easily take over RiverClan.
B6: POV Squirrelflight and Leaffall. The Clans begin planning the attack that will drive the Kin from RiverClan. Leaffall and Crowfoot leave and return; Cinderpelt dies in the battle; Onestar and Darktail fall over the side of the Gorge while fighting each other, but Onestar is grabbed by Leaffall and Crowfoot, who in turn are grabbed by their families, such that there is a huge group keeping Onestar from going over the edge. With Darktail dead, the remaining Kin members flee the territories for good.
Power of Three
POVs: Jayfeather, Lionblaze, Hollyleaf
The Three are born and Jayfeather and Lionblaze grow into their powers. Hollyleaf is revealed to not be one of the three. Hollyleaf reveals their parentage and kills Ashfur, then flees the territories.
Instead of visiting the Tribe, they visit SkyClan.
The Dark Forest begins recruiting, starting off with cats like Lionblaze and Hawkfrost who have familial connections to the Dark Forest.
The New Prophecy
POVs: Dovepaw and Ivypaw
Journey Crew: Lionblaze and Dovepaw; Heathertail; Goldenheart (Tigerheart); Stormfur and his apprentice, Rainpaw. They swing by SkyClan and Harrybrook joins them; on the return trip they go through the Tribe.
SkyClan joins the Clans on the Great Journey, and live with them at the Lake, taking their canon territory.
Dark Forest trainees are able to recruit other cats on the Great Journey, when the Clans are not in communication with StarClan or the Dark Forest. Ivypaw is the POV where we see this in action.
The Moonpool is “discovered” by Jayfeather via time travel.
The WindClan Coup is replaced by the RiverClan Succession Crisis. After Leopardstar dies, Mistyfoot takes control of RiverClan despite not being able to go and get her nine lives. She chooses Hawkfrost as her deputy. After Jayfeather discovers the Moonpool, Dovewing is sent to RiverClan to share the news. While speaking with Mothwing, she hears Hawkfrost trap Mistyfoot in a fox trap, and runs off to help. Mothwing follows, and the two of them arrive in time to save Mistyfoot, although Hawkfrost is killed by Mothwing in the struggle.
The RiverClan Succession Crisis occurs during the last book of the series; the various problems the Clans encounter while settling in are shuffled to be earlier.
Omen of the Stars
POVs: Jayfeather, Lionblaze, Dovewing, and Ivypool
Relatively unchanged other than most characters being older, and SkyClan being present at the Lake. The Clans must fight against the Dark Forest and their supporters.
Hollyleaf returns with a variety of Clan cats that left the Clans at one point or another, including some SkyClan warriors who chose to remain at the Gorge, some Kin members who want to join or rejoin their Clans, and some other rogues or loners who are interested in the Clan lifestyle. These additional numbers help to make a difference during the battle against the Dark Forest.
Culture changes to be a bit more open to outsiders, including a formal method for joining (or changing) a Clan. Collaboration between Clans is much more common.
#warriors#warrior cats#mouse squeaks#warriors au#warriors rewrite#kind of????#old growth au#anyway i HIGHLY recommend either this game or a similar one where you pick one silly thing and arrange the arcs around it#very fun and a good creative exercise!#and if you decide to do it absolutely tag me I’d love to see 👀

pitch alan wake to me? 👀
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
alan wake is a horror/action game from 2010 about the titular character alan wake, a writer with some serious case of writer's block (🍻), who goes on vacations with his wife alice to this lovely little cabin in the middle of a lake, next to a town in the middle of the woods, Bright Falls. Before the day ends, however, alice is attacked by an unseen force that drags her to the bottom of the lake, alan diving in right after....
next thing you know BAM you (alan) apparently crashed your car on the road, you have no memory whatsoever on how you ended up like that, your wife is still missing and (!!!) strange people (and birds) engulfed in shadows are stalking you and attacking you AND (???) you're finding these pages scattered around the forest not only detailing events that are happening, or Will Happen, but also are apparently written by YOU 🫵 AND NOT ONLY THAT, but at the end of the first episode you find out that you've been missing for an entire week, having zero memories of that week either, and oh that cozy little cabin i mentioned? doesnt exist. there hasn't been a cabin at the lake in forty years
gameplay wise is a p standard shooter ig where you point a flashlight at the enemies with right click and shoot em with the left when the darkness around em dissipates, simple enough, but the Real deal (after the story of course, with its twists and turns and very interesting characters too and a Handful of antagonists that i havent mentioned) lies in the collectibles: you're not only looking for the pages of your manuscript, but you can also find stuff like radio shows! which are a charming look to the town's inner life imo, or Night Springs episodes, twilight zone esque shorts that you can find here and there. example:
youtube
THERES ALSO music made by real life band poets of the fall, playing as fictional band old gods of asgard, that you can find in game :) (example 1, example 2) (you also meet the aforementioned band, two old brothers who are epic, honestly)
#purposely leaving the plot and story vague in case you wanna check it out but i will say its scary but not Too Scary imo#theres also characters like barry (<3) that ease the tension and the fact that the shadowed ppl's dialogues are Thee most random thing#its funny! but its also very tense! its a good game 😌#alan wake#tani's personal shit#trying really hard not to rant about the comics and also the minishow and the other game and the connecting universe but#ANYWAY. alan wake alone is a fantastic game 100% recommended 👍

hiii--- i know you mostly post/write about other fandoms but i just want to say that graceful degradation is probably one of THE best fics ive read of all time and i love it so so so much, it had me screaming into my pillow at like 2 in the morning. its such a unique and creative take on his backstory and the ANGSSTTT. oh my god...u are a genius
Thank you so much!!! Portal 2 was something I never imagined myself writing for, but I'm very glad I did, because writing that fic was a blast. It came out of my fondness for 'Flowers For Algernon' (which I read many years ago but has been stuck in the back of my mind ever since) and my need for a Portal fic that suited my particular niche of interests (which included, of course, my dear old friend angst). I'm so glad to hear you think of it so highly! That really means a lot 🥰
#ask#wheatley#wheatly portal 2#portal 2#portal#my fanfic#my fanfiction#I'm pretty sure i know who sent this so thank you very much for reccing the story to others. that was delightful to see :D#and yeah unfortunately i am very much a throw a fic grenade into the fandom and then run off kind of writer#(with some exceptions)#i don't imagine I'll be writing any more portal fanfic in the future but i am very proud of the one that i did do :)#it was really fun writing in a more humourous style than usual (in what ironically is one of my most devastating fics)#(which i suppose is very fitting to the nature of the portal games themselves. a true comedy of horrors)#if you're looking for other great portal fics i have to recommend you the OG good portal fic: Blue Sky by wafflestories (fanfic.net)#if you haven't already of course. there's a reason it's famous (that is to say wow it's good)#it was big inspiration behind me writing my own portal story#anyway! thank you again 100× over! i truly do appreciate your words 💜

Shooting a beam at my followers to go play oneshot. My brain has had it's entire chemical composition altered again.
#idk if it's a new hyperfixation#since thats still happening with rain world#but if you can have multiple at once then yeah#or maybe rain world has become a special interest and has since left the hyperfixation spot open#anyway oneshot good#I've learned that if you learn about an indie game from people whole heartedly recommending it or just liking it a lot#and then go to it's storepage and it looks interesting and fun#then it will be absolutely amazing#case in point rain world Oneshot hollow knight ultrakill celeste#I learned about all of these in that very manner

dude why did ppl hate The End of Hope’s Peak High School sm
#toasty talks#dr on the brain obviously#most of the complaints I see are that it contradicts the plot of the first games#but I honestly couldn’t fully grasp DR1 or 2 prior to having seen the anime.#personally I thought it tied things together well. I’m sure the contradictions are there and I just didn’t notice but#it clearly never broke my immersion or anything#plus!! you get to see the DR1 and 2 character being (mostly) alive and well in the end!! A++#I’m planning on rewatching so I’m just thinkin abt it cuz like. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I don’t get the hate#if it’s just that it’s ‘bad’ then. I mean you are definitely allowed to feel that way but let’s not pretend that the games are Good.#dont get me wrong I LOVE them but they are Badgood. very entertaining. full of flaws. 10/10 would not recommend you have(n’t) to see it. yk#also I suspect some of the dislike comes from watching it in the wrong order (which is the fault of some streaming sites).#unless you look it up you might not know to watch the Future and Despair arcs in alternation which is def the best way to watch it#anyway. basically I am excited to rewatch it LOLZ. I liked the plot lines :] AND I thought the new characters they add were pretty cool#danganronpa 3#the end of hope’s peak high school

I know nothing about ieytd but I love your art and all your cool little guys. Could you tell me anything about Chief? 👀
Friend I will gladly tell you Most Things about Chief (that I can remember at the moment, anyway). Okay. Here we go!
Matthew, 36 years old, uses they/them and he/him pronouns interchangeably, and primarily goes by “Chief.”
Due to unfortunate circumstances in his younger years, Chief turned to work for a local criminal organisation. He quickly proved to have some kind of talent for it, and rose through the ranks steadily - until he caught the eye of the new Boss, who immediately became invested in him.
At the current moment, he works as the Boss’ right hand. The Boss quite likes them! Chief… does not like the Boss. However, they’re stuck in their position, and going against the boss in any way is as good as a death sentence, so they play along. Though really, he’s not exactly the “right hand” - he’s more just… the Boss’ favourite. A “pet” is how the more disdainful members of the organisation would describe them, though never where anyone prone to gossip can hear them.
Chief would like nothing more than to get away from the whole organisation, get a normal job, lead a normal life. However, things are too messy and dangerous for them to get away, and there’s so much blood on his hands that he’s not sure he deserves it.
He is a rather charming fellow! Well mannered, charismatic in a sense, suave, flirty when he feels like it. But in truth, they form very few attachments. A few flings here and there, some friendly chatter, yes, but nobody could ever really describe themself as their friend.
There’s one guy who comes close - either a journalist or private investigator I don’t remember. The guy’s kinda new to the job, but quite enthusiastic. He interviewed Chief, when he was just starting out, but didn’t know of the man’s role in the organisation (to Chief’s great amusement.) Since then, the two have developed a strange relationship where he keeps pestering Chief and Chief keeps deflecting and playing around with him.
Anyway arguably the Most important event in his story is as follows;
The Boss has this niece. A sweet young thing always dressed for sunny weather, quick to smile, quick to laugh - they take after their mother, a kind woman who died with her husband in an… unfortunate accident.
Anyway, the niece - her name is Sunny (she/they), and she doesn’t like the Boss. In fact, she doesn’t like the whole organisation! So, rather than be stuck with a man she hates in a situation that horrifies her… she runs away, leveraging the threats of revealing their business to the public against the Boss to keep him from coming after her.
Chief… envies them. They got away safe, to a cozy little place by a sunflower field, with enough money to practically retire. She’s living his dream - and with none of the blood on her hands. He’s happy for them, but… wishes it was him.
The Boss isn’t so happy. She’s dangerous, with the knowledge she has, but more than that she’s his family, and they’re defying him. He’s always had a bit of a thing about defiance. In short, he doesn’t like it. So, rather than let them live peacefully away from all of his business, he sends people after them. Not to harm her, of course! She is his niece, after all. But to… talk to her. Persuade her to come back. It never seems to work, though. She’s quite stubborn about the whole business.
So, the Boss sends Chief! Every few months, he gets a break from their duties to take a nice road trip out to a beautiful countryside in the sun and clean air and lack of violence, to have pleasant conversation with a kind young woman who politely yet firmly refuses to come back each time, and then they enjoy some cake and coffee and chatter about nothing much before he inevitably has to go back.
It’s nice! Pleasant. A good change of pace, from the dark, depressing, violent city Chief lives in. Between the crowded streets, perpetual bad weather and towering buildings, they hardly ever see the sun.
…but the Boss is not a patient man, nor an understanding one.
So, after months and months of refusal after refusal (she’s inherited his brother’s awful stubbornness, it seems), he tells Chief that this will be his last visit. They’re going to ask her to come back once more, and when she refuses - (when, not if, Chief notes) - they are going to kill her.
This is when Chief truly, wholly begins to despise the organisation, and especially the Boss.
Not for the first time, but for the first real time, Chief begins to plan to betray his Boss. It’s more desperation than cunning, a hasty plan due to lack of time, but they plan to run away - and take her with him.
…but when they attempt explain that they’ve been ordered to kill Sunny, there’s a misunderstanding. They freak out, lash out at him, and even as he tries to explain it to them they fight him and hurt him and mostly by instinct—!
…he kills her. It was an accident.
……But he’s killed her nonetheless.
He returns home with the good news, and the Boss praises them for it. In the back of their head, they decide they’re not getting out of this alive, but they are going to bring the whole damned organisation down with them. No matter how long it’ll take. Of course, he can’t act immediately - but he’s hiding his time.
In the meantime, the Boss strikes up a deal with a certain corporation, and manufactures a little accident for his favourite employee.
This is where Chief loses the eye and gains a boatload of new scars, including the one on his mouth and the one on their nose (which happens to also be the one that caused the loss of the eye). As a generous replacement, the Boss secures them a cybernetic eye, which would supposedly assist them in their work in some way. It’s unclear - the thing is only a prototype.
…however, Chief leads a dangerous life. After one too many knocks to the head, they’re starting to see strange things out of the corner of their (right) eye, and one in particular looks (heartbreakingly) similar.
Also there’s a kitty in his apartment building named Pistachio, whom he loves :)
#purples rambling#Chief!#bit of a ramble there huh#anyway. chief is a bit of a self destructive tragedy of a man who desperately needs some help and support#but won’t be getting much :)#he likes to pretend he’s not an absolute dumpster fire of a human being#anyway I definitely recommend checking out ieytd!!! they’re very very fun games with a lot of good jokes#fun characters#intriguing plot lines#the puzzles can be a little frustrating but the overall games are fantastic#also there’s John Juniper <33#voiced by Will Wheaton and boy what a character#canonically pyromaniacal silent protagonist is also very fun

BTW I genuinely love that night in the woods does not, in the end, tell you if it was all real or not. It does not even explain whether the goat was real. It gives you mundane explanations - mae's mental health history, gas leaks, the strikes and structural instability in the mines - but also it's juuust legitimately supernatural enough that you end the game going... well. was that all imagined? how much of that was legitimate? the cultists all talk about getting abilities from the pit, and mae's friends are there and are confirming this is actually happening, and I think that was the first time in the game I actually approached the idea that there really was something else going on and it wasn't all just things we the player are experiencing because we're getting it from mae's perspective and mae is a truly intense unreliable narrator.
But: how much does it matter if there's actually an eldritch goat god underneath possum springs, or if it was all just a delusion on mae's behalf, or if it's a gas leak? that isn't the point. that was never the point.
also that maintenance guy is a ghost im 90% sure
#nitw#revisiting this game for. reasons (dndads au)#i have to be sooo careful with nitw bc while i LOVE this particular brand of spooky shit#it also definitely fucked with my brain in less pleasant ways. so. oops#OKAY STORYTIME IF YOU'RE DOWN HERE IN THE TAGS:#the first time i played night in the woods it was entirely on a recommendation from a friend#i went in completely blind. i did not look at the genre tags. i went oh! that's right! my friend likes this game!#i've heard very good things about this game! so i bought it and i started it and i realized VERY quickly it was a Certain#Type Of Game. yknow. so i went ok its gonna be a cutesy game that talks about Real Shit but otherwise is silly and fun. alright.#and then i hit the halfway point and i realized oh. oh this is sort of a horror game. isn't it. it scared the hell outta me#i LOVED it. getting hit with that midpoint scene with the red and the silhouettes and the well and that was when i decided i loved this gam#but anyway yeah can you imagine being slightly obsessed with ghosts and going into night in the woods without a single expectation#and then getting hit with ALL OF THAT? delightful. wonderful. most unnerving game experience ive ever had in my life.

yesterday i spent 45 minutes of my life watching a video essay criticising the use of cheap shock values and crossing of taboos for a video game and i went from "he has a point even if he's explaining it in a really inflammatory way" to "oh umm... i can see how he thinks that way even if i don't agree" to "oh this guy's just straight up using people on tumblr as material for an audience to get mad at like other outdated people on the internet. nvm he's just an asshole"
#yuu rambles#it was about the coffin of andey and leyley btw - i agreed w him on the first half of the video about how it felt rather noncommittal to it#concepts and themes but i recognise its not really *trying* to be serious which means its not a reasonable#framework to judge the intention and execution of its work - an apple pie does use butter in it but just bc it does#doesnt mean you get to compare it to steak; a dish that also uses butter. this is intuitively easy to understand for me#but nonetheless it was like 3 am i had stuff to do so i just put it on my background to listen#he makes a diss at “people on tumblr” early on that i just raised my eyebrow at but shrugged it off bc its such an old joke#its lost its zinger; and im p sure its just confirmation bias from going into the tags of the thing you dont like lol if you use tumblr#normally you wouldn't come across things you dont like bc you'd have blocked them. But Anyways#then at the end he got sooo self righteous about how people on tumblr are insane and weird and showed screencaps about how twisted everyone#who likes the game are. there were some screenshots of people's post that were like “incest is bad and shouldn't be explored in media.#paragraph break‚ me who is an incest survivor and finds it helpful for working through my trauma: lol”#those types of post. but then lmfao he started going out of pocket and just mentioned the lists of other people he doesnt like which are#a screenie of a video essay about how kink is important at pride#and then some other stuff i dont remember anymore w the tumblr screenies#it was very mockingly written and said and at the end of it i felt sad i couldnt#block people on youtube lmao. like its not i dont want this guy to comment on my videos. i dont want to see his channel involuntarily#recommended to me ever again. just resorted to the most base sort of trolling behaviour he accused and judge other game devs for in his#video essay. good fucking god. the psychological projection is unreal#i dont have any strong feelings towards the game at the end of it even though i thought i would be like Eugh at first#but my bleh for any cheap gimmicks is overshadowed by my disdain for this guy's reliance on self righteous rhetoric#i discovered another new channel i really like tho after that vid!! bc i had to watch smth else to cleanse my palate lmao#they're jacob geller and freddydude! ive only seen one vid from freddydude about his essay on#detention‚ the horror game set in taiwan during the era of white terror under new cn leadership after ww2#im personally quite jumpy so his humour and the way he edits his videos to make it silly even though its Scary#made me like it a lot!! im going through jacob geller's other vids but ive watched three specific types of terror#and the one about pinocchio which made me go :00 wow his scripts are super good!#again everything at your own discretion esp w the whole james somerton shit‚ but i enjoyed what I've seen so far#i just wanted to end this in a somewhat positive note JSHDKSJDJD the ramblings Continue...#theres a pedantic error in one of ky tags but im gonna update it when im on comp bc mobile sucks smh my head

Honestly, I get not wanting to play newer Pokémon games on release (or at all) nowadays. I love Platinum, but have no plans to play the remakes. I think I waited about two years to even get Sword, and even though I did end up enjoying Galar, I think it would have benefited from more development time. Legends wasn’t perfect but it seemed like a step in the right direction (at least to me) so I still have a little bit of hope for SV being better. That said, I think it’s completely understandable not to bother with them. Not to be all “the franchise isn’t what it used to be” because I a) know how annoying that can sound and b) understand the concept of nostalgia, but I don’t think they’re going to be able to top older games if they keep turning a new one out every 3-4 years. That’s just my two cents though 🤷♂️
yea honestly like, pokemon games were my go-to as a kid so obvs i have a big attachment to the franchise, and i still do, but i wasn't super excited about usum when i played it even tho i loved sm, swsh's release made me realize a LOT of the overall issues with the franchise lately, i didn't play pmd DX or BDSP bc if i can still play the original game and see very little difference i dont see a reason to spend $60 on a "new" version... i did really REALLY like legends even with its problems, i would love a unova version ( wild west ? ) but i cant handle an actual unova remake i think it would break me . anyways there's too much to say on the whole thing but personally i rather spend $60 on 2-3 really cool little company games than whatever game freak/nintendo is doing rn
#i've been expanding my range in games to past nintendo lately . best decision i've ever made#disco.elysium is my most recent and holy SHITits good . it's more of a visual audio novel but it's really good#ultrakil is also super fucking good i LOVE that game . recommend it for anyone who likes salmon run its just as crazy#and STRAY of course :) kitty game with an amazing outer view on humanity .#these are my most recent indies but they are so so very good . i could write a small list of recommended games but these are the main ones#for now :D#UM anyways sorry for all this . but im glad for the collective 'yeah this ain't lookin good' on SV . maybe i'll buy it second hand#eventually but for now i'm super content with the games i have#anon#ado.ask#long post#<- not that long but it IS taking up my screen so for courtesy sake ill tag it

Yakuza just keeps getting more and more light hearted it’s really a long story of people looking at there situation and going bye 👋 by the way what’s the darkest Yakuza game in your opinion?
yakuza keeps getting more and more light hearted last game had babies in lockers and there's an entire city designated for dumping bodies
#snap chats#anyway i dont know the darkest yakuza game#they're all dark in their own rights i guess#i mean. y7?? might be?? just because of the politics of it all?#lest i neglect aforementioned babies in lockers and human dumping ground#y1 was definitely the darkest game for kiryu since he lost the remnants of his family in that (kazama/yumi/nishiki)#like idk. whats your definition of 'darkest' i guess cause that can range for people#idk. anyway Unrelated Tag Ramble Time i finished First Penguin this morning just as i expected to#def was a cute show- DEFINITELY makes it apparent iwasaki was fighting incredibly hard for the shore and her effort paid off#it was also good in depicting learned helplessness that can be experienced in abusive relationships#or i guess in this show's case business partnerships#iwasaki was just a great character in general. like she was determined and a romantic#but when she was angry She Was Angry and it was great- like she had her limits too and all#and her anger was never from an unreasonable place Again She Was Very Patient but Again x2. she had her limits#this show had me weak with how stupid all the fishermen were tho ☠️☠️ LIKE I GET IT BUT ALSO YOU LOT /ARE/ A BUNCH OF PENGUINS#which is what ultimately makes it satisfying to see them turn around as the show goes on and become competent..#yeah great show definitely recommend. it was fun watching the business take off and all the problems that came and how they deal with them
