Starting tomorrow (July 19th), some of you will see a new navigation layout for the desktop website that we’re experimenting with.
I have the sudden urge to leave this site and never come back.

ok this post probably won’t make sense to a lot of you but.
pinterest culture…?
i’m not talking about the, like, recipes side of pinterest, or the aesthetic photos side of pinterest. i’m talking about the pretty specific subsection of like, tumblr screenshots and badly edited facebook memes, and mentally ill gay teenagers. i myself, am on this side of pinterest, i’ll admit.
there’s some, like, niche pinterest micro celebrities, for example, pickle man, erm what the frick, johnny the mommy, etc etc. whenever they’re seen in a comment section, there’s at least one person saying “omg you’re everywhere!1!!11”
another example, pinterest commenters are special. there’s like…inside jokes, just like on tumblr, but..idk
here’s an example:
(some kind of weird/oddly horny post)
person a: let’s remember our digital footprint guys !
(replying) person b: foot 🤤
(replying to b) person c: i have feelings for you
you can probably find that exact thread if you just look through the comments a bit. now, this type of thing is fine, of course, we all love inside jokes.
but, starting off as a pinterest kid, that became like, ingrained in my brain, so whenever im on tumblr my immediate reaction is to say shit like, “i want you” “i have a crush on you” instead of just “what”.
another thing, pinterest fucking sucks. and everyone on there (the gay side of pinterest, i mean) knows it. the ui sucks, especially on the browser version, the dms hardly work, and pins just disappear sometimes. lots of brands (i guess?) will take like ‘memes’ and upload it to pinterest, to get people to click, and take them to some shitty article. this leads to, fuckin idk, a picture of some tumblr post with the ifunny logo, and the title of the pin is like Top Ten Ways Wives Aren’t Satisfying Their Husbands.
pinterest hate culture, is also very interesting. for example, if you mention, say, ed sheeran, or look for ed sheeran pins, it’s so. much. hate. and then there’s troll/bait accounts, that exclusively make posts going against the grain so they’ll get attention. because there’s another thing, pinterest users fucking suck at ignoring bait. the boyfriends comic (? i think it’s called that) has so much hate on there. i’ve never even read it but i know so much from people talking about how shit it is. those pinterest kids are crazy, they talk to the obvious bait accs and tell them to “sayori challenge” (video game character that took her own life). i could go into the mogai/xenogender discourse but that’s a whole other post.
so. pinterest. it’s crazy.
why’d i write all this but i can’t write one fucking science paper oh my god.

I think that a lot of Guilty Gear fans need to take a 700 hour course on how to differentiate liking something from it being bad, because it's getting to be fucking ridiculous at this point, especially surrounding Strive.
Like, holy shit, ever since I actually started interacting with fandom spaces I learned that people just fucking hate Strive. With a burning passion. Granted, not everyone does, but there's a lot of conversation in the spaces where people call things bad when they really mean they don't like them, which DOESN'T MAKE THEM BAD.
People bring up Strive's UI and the game being slower and talk about those things like they're bad when they're really not. I played Strive before I played Xrd, and I didn't suddenly go "oh my god, Strive was so awful, its a bad game" even though I think Xrd is really cool. I tried playing +R but found that I didn't really like it, but that doesn't make it BAD. IT MEANS ITS NOT MY THING, AND I DIDNT LIKE IT.
To be clear, you don't have to like Strive. You don't have to like Xrd. Or +R. Or fanart, or new character designs, or whatever. You can think that the Strive UI is boring (which, to be fair, it doesn't have the same intense feel of the older games,) but you don't then get to say that it's a bad UI because of that.
Furthermore, things can still be bad, and you can have reasons for thinking they're bad, but, like, they need to be reasons. Not preference.
Dislike Strive! Dislike Xrd! Dislike things! It's healthy and being a hater is fun! But please stop calling Strive bad because it isn't your thing. Just say it's not for you.

Hii uh I read your NSFW headcaon of Daniel this gonna be curious about UI Daniel and crazy Daniel in bed..I was wondering if u could..Write them railing reader in bed. I hope am not asking too much I do apologize if this request sounds weird!! If u don't want to do it than I respect it your free to ignore this Anyways have a Nice day!!♡
UI/Crazy Daniel Park x Reader (Smut Headcannons)
I haven't wrote smut for a while lmao don't worry Genre: smut/lemon🍋 Slight warning: cursing, mentions of sex, NSFW, penetration, dirty talking spanking/hair pulling, biting (ex. giving hickies reader receiving), choking CHARACTERS ARE AGED UP (female reader, though I will put male parts)
Tumblr media
We all know Daniel is a shy person when it comes with showing his affection with you. But the moment he gets used on making love he'll sure start to show off his side that you rarely see. I can see him going on his heat mode (no pun intended :) when he's really stressed out or insecure about himself. Sure, he reached his goal to change and to become more strong and confident. But that doesn't mean that his insecurities are just going to fade like some kind of magic trick. He'll get really agitated about it. And the idea of lashing out his stress in a different manner excites him.
It's somehow rare to see Danny consumed with lust and neediness. He's mostly nervous with making the first move and initiating the idea of sex despite doing it a bunch couple of times since he doesn't want to make you feel uncomfortable. But if you're up to his mood, he won't hesitate to ruin you. His usual kisses will be dominant as he slips his tongue inside your mouth. He'll will also leave you lots of hickeys on your neck and chest (which god damn hurt) since he'll be so proud to flex his horny partner on his friends when he's out of his comfort zone.
Crazy Daniel will be super kinky contrasting his usual soft and gentle approach. He'll definitely pull your hair while he pounds his thick and long cock inside you while you cry out for mercy to slow down his pace. But he knows that you liked being dominated and humiliated by no other than him only. As your boyfriend, Daniel will make sure that he'll make you cum so many times that even himself couldn't keep a count on it. "Fu-fuck Danny! Da-darling. Please, please not too fast Oh!" you whimpered as your know how worked up Danny is as he pushes his length inside you making you let out a lewd mewl. "Me? Slow down? Huh, don't be fucking ridiculous right now. I know you like being fucked like this. Look at you now, you're moaning like a little whore, just for me." he responded back as he mocks you, You can see the devilish smirk he's making despite Daniel having an angelic face. He's so entertained by how loud you moan and how you cry out for his name despite protesting to pull out. He knows you secretly enjoy this a lot.
Though the Daniel you're used to is still there because he'll stop the moment you take things seriously and actually started crying. Like, he knows that he's horny and his cock needs to get some coochie. But he also hates hurting you too much. So he'll definitely stop and 100% apologize and make up to you like cuddling or getting a glass of water with pain killers when your legs hurt. Just give him a signal for him if you're enjoying his company and he'll do what you like, though it will be in a form of a dirty talking style. "Tell me what you want. C'mon, you want my dick inside you right? Be a good girl/boy and I won't hesitate to fucking ruin you this time" he will whisper on your ear as you sobbed and cling on his muscular body. Daniel will still be in command and if he notices that you're just denying to hate having sex with him on his crazy mode. Oh girl/boy, he wouldn't let you walk for a month (forget even thinking and having braincells he's definitely going to fuck you up).
Daniel will also choke you while thrusting his hips on a fast pace. If you're doing doggy style he won't hesitate to give your ass a nice little slap. Trust me, he's trying his best right now to be gentle but he couldn't control himself. The way you moaned and begged for more, how beautiful you are and the sounds you make, and him just drowning at the mix of pleasure and power he holds right now just makes him more motivated. And he'll also rub your clit so harshly that he'll make you release so many times (he'll also stroke your dick if you're a dude). This man is so good at multi-tasking. Now you don't even know if it's the hard way that he holds your neck, how many times how he slapped your ass that it would probably leave so many marks on your skin or is it because of how rough he is with you right now that makes you really drowsy.
His go to positions will be definitely where he's going to be the top. If you don't like missionary and G-whiz, your preferences will change the moment he goes hard on you. His thrusts will be fast, powerful, and deep because of his adrenaline rush. And he also likes doggy style since he gets turned on by the sight off you where he can see your ass. And if Daniel asked you to dominate him, do it. He also likes to see you struggle to take him while you ride him. And he also likes being choked and the sight will be super hot because no matter how hard you put pressure on your chokehold, he's still far stronger than you.
He's also very good at eating you out. He likes 69ing and going fast just to hold your orgasm back. He likes overstimulating you a lot and he finds it entertaining when you loose your temper. I also headcannon him liking using belts as whips but not exactly sex toys since he wants to make you feel good with his body.
Now when it comes to his UI mode, it's a different story. This side of Daniel is a monster. So don't expect him to be "lovey dovey" with you. I just personally think that he'll just smash your face the moment he saws you (remember he's unconscious). And it's a bad thing if you can defend yourself from him since anything he sees is considered as an enemy. But I think the moment he learned to control it he will probably recognize you and he'll be a lot more responsible of using UI (once he gets better at combat he can probably just turn it off and on, idk it's just my theory I'm trying to be a bit realistic here).
And he'll be more harsh than his crazy mode. You'll probably won't be able to walk for a year bc of how fucking strong this guy is. So just imagine if he thrusts inside you in a fast and strong manner remember this guy can break concrete walls 💀 (rip little pussy/ass)
UI Daniel will be flexible considering of how many martial arts this guy knows. So he probably knows lots of sex positions. He's also superior when it comes to fingering and eating you out. You can see that monstrous eyes as you're being overstimulated and crying while he laps at your cunt and shoving his 3 long fingers inside you. Curling the correct way just to perfectly hit your G-spot as he sucks your clit so harshly. "Da-Danny PLEASE SO DOWN! I-I'm gonna cum!" (he's also good at giving bj's he probably has unbelievable gag reflex).
He'll also leave you lots of hickeys on your body (like everywhere). His stamina is not like super crazy (based on manhwa so far) so expect a confused naked Danny on the bed as he panics. "Y-Y/N I don't know what came up to me I'm so sorry!"

Things I love about Outer Worlds:
Story mode!!!! Oh my god, story mode.
Absolutely no romance between the PC and the companions.
The whole game is just so pretty.
AND it has nighttime that is STILL VISIBLE.
No audio lines from the PC!!
Companions have perks that make them stealthier, so stealth players actually have incentive to bring them along.
It's honestly just really fucking funny.
My gun has a 6x scope. I have never been happier.
The fun little chats between companions; very similar to DA2 except not just constant bigotry and insults.
I'm sure a lot of people hate the UI but I actually love how easy it is to use and it makes the gameplay a lot more focused than other open-world games.
Companions automatically teleport to you when there's no combat so they never get lost or stuck.
It's just generally a really great game for people who just aren't good at video games but still want the experience.
Things I love less about Outer Worlds:
I wish the companion chats had more event triggers; I had brand new companions talk about our experiences off-world when we hadn't even left their planet.
The rocks almost never have real textures, which makes it very difficult for mountain goat stealth players (me). I have fallen from and gotten stuck in a lot of rocks that don't really exist.
I don't like the blurry effect. It makes me a bit nauseous.
No romance means I can't seduce the vicar :(
Its name is very very similar to Outer Wilds, another space exploration game, and fhat's very confusing for me.
I don't like killing animals :'(

Can we talk about how Ui Ui was a grooming victim?
Tumblr media
Ok so basiclly we know Ui Ui cares deeply for his sister Mei Mei but the thing is....he cares for her too much...its safe to assume Ui Ui is around 8-10 and i know siblings will comment saying "oh ofc he cares for her their siblings they only have eachother" but the thing is his love for her is at crush level and this mentally not good as he is obessing over his adult ass sister wanting to sleep with her,sacrifice his life for her,and is ok seeing her naked
Now before you guys comment saying oh kessha its his fault its his mentality NO ITS NOT
Tumblr media
Mei Mei is around her late 20's - early 30's and Mei Mei is OK with his behaviour....she actually fucking promotes it!?!?!?!?!!?! Take for example when Ui Ui and Mei Mei were at Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia (fellow malaysian here hi) they shared a hotel room,sure ok.....they also shared the same bed,ok.....my breaking point is when she wore a bathrob without anything inside....like full on naked her upperhalf being able to be seen....and sleeping NAKED in bed with him...yes she may have had a blanket over but lets talk about Ui Ui perspective and not us THE ANIME WATCHERS PERSPECTVE he would have been able to see her damn breast falling for gods sake
Tumblr media Tumblr media
NO CAUSE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH HER?
Tumblr media
and she actually has the nerve to try and caress his face when he asks "isin't this innapropriate" while blushing.....and what she replied is....just....what the fuck.....so i think you can see why im saying she groomed him into this mentality and behaviour i also hate how she used her seductive voice
Tumblr media
i cannot imagine what else she put in his mind....Ui Ui is still a child so whatever he sees and think hes like oh ok this is normal....so Mei Mei took advantage of that for her own power....i just hope Ui Ui gets the help he needs and Mei Mei dies....cause....Mei Mei doesnt do shit and is a fucking groomer he also probably sees Mei Mei like a saviour from how he acts
Tumblr media
MEI MEI I HATE YOUUUUU I HOPE YOU HAVE WHATS COMING

random vent under the cut about using english as a non-native speaker
a lot of the time i feel very self-conscious whenever i speak or write in english. even though i'm not *bad* at english i can still feel the language barrier holding me back at times. the way i talk and write can be very stiff and it really sticks out, at least to me, and it sometimes makes me feel very stupid.
i can feel the lack of vocabulary and skills hindering my ability to show how i truly feel or think in certain situations and it's frustrating as hell. i know i'm not an idiot. i know that in finnish i'm (usually) a pretty smart person, but in english i sometimes feel like a fucking toddler trying to get a simple point across. the way i talk can also be very awkward because i have to pause *a lot* to find the right words, and i can just *feel* my brain buffering like a fucking youtube video trying to keep up with what i'm trying to say. having to translate everything in your head on the spot can get very exhausting. add chronic anxiety and somewhat lacking social skills into the mix and oh god oh fuck i feel like i can't communicate with people at all sometimes
i use english every single day, most days even more than finnish, whether it's being online scrolling through tumblr or reading articles etc, playing video games, watching shows and movies, chatting with my american boyfriend or my online friends from all around the world. even the UI on my phone/game consoles/etc is in english. i constantly try to improve in hopes of being able to say that i've become "fluent" in english or whatever but idk, i feel like i've hit my skill cap a long time ago and i just can't get any better and it frustrates me so much. i just want to be able to convey my feelings and thoughts as clearly as possible but so much of it seems to quite literally get lost in translation. i hate feeling incompetent and stupid aaaaaaaaaaaaa
i don't think i have the energy to even start talking about how the way i speak english as a non-native speaker can be really weird to a native speaker because of the way i was taught british english but i've also learned american english through media etc and how bc of that i've picked up words and phrases from all over the place so my english is just a weird amalgamation of british mixed with american english from all over the country
i had a point in all this but i forgot abt it a long time ago so this turned into a random vent post lol, thanks for coming to my ted talk i guess

Heyyy, if Arjune were to be summoned in the fourth or fifth holy grail war, who do you think would be the best master in each part? and the worst? I can't see him tolerating Ryuunousuke and I think he would specially hate Shinki, what with his experience of the Kauravas insulting his wife Draupadi, so I think he'd get along horribly wrong with those two but I don't know if Kiritsugu would also be a somewhat bad match for him
Oddly enough I he might actually mesh rather well with kiritsugu if he went full into his ‘I’m a tool that exists to fight for justice please don’t look any deeper than that.’ He’s very archer-emiya coded and as long as kiritsugu continued to keep the casualties minimal (ie, evacuating the hotel building before blowing it up) I think he would at least be able to manage. Not thrive, per say, but I think arjuna is able to at least justify to himself the concept of ‘sacrificing a few to save the many’ (just look at what happened to his own children and family in his origin story) and he’s able to maintain an impersonal distance that someone like kiritsugu would likewise also probably do well with. (Also tbh kiritsugu would probably prefer a servant that’s a long range fighter over a close combat unit)
I do think it would still weigh on him though-ultimately like saber it’s a situation where he can still do well as a warrior but he wouldn’t be happy bc of it’s brutality. His relationship with irisveil if he was contracted to kiritsugu could easily go either the way of being more human or cold depending on his writer mindset
Legitimately I can’t imagine a solid 90% of servants managing ryuunosuke, so that would probably come down to a matter of if his pride in being a ‘good’ servant trumps his general honor as a hero. Personally I think he’d probably go for the latter but I’m not sure? Outside of that…I don’t know. Kayneth is odd to me because diarmuid was also very subservient and eager to please with him and he still didn’t like him, but arjuna’s more ‘yeah I’m just a tool’ general vibe might make his feathers less ruffled? Unless his folklore wife stealing ability kicked in with sola-ui somehow anyway 😔.
I don’t think he’d work well w kirei because kirei is just a bad master in general. He would probably be ok with tokiomi but think the guy was kind of full of himself. He wouldnt get him murdered tho lmao.
I can’t fathom how he and kariya would work out. Kariya summons his servant in the worm basement with Zouken present like oh my god-wait it’s a berserker too. Oh my god. Can you fucking imagine arjuna alter in fate zero the man would go even more insane
Waver and arjuna would be funny tho. I don’t know how, but waver with anyone is funny. Shoutout to waver.
As for og fate….I’ve seen others say he probably wouldn’t mesh well with Sakura, as he tends to be too busy with his own sad boy hours to notice other’s issues and also would probably see dark Sakura as more of a problem to take care of, and I’m not familiar enough with her yet to really say otherwise.
shirou and arjuna sounds like a disaster waiting to happen bc imagine archer but like, not at all connected to shirou and also in the history books. He has no reason to look at shirou’s suicidal desire to save everyone and not be like ‘poggers sounds great master I’m doing that also it’s hell on earth but what can you do :)’ and then he sits in a corner for 40 days pretending he doesn’t have human emotions while shirou turns into a sword or something
If it was shinji in the routes where he isn’t actively a rapist and more annoying I could see him just being tiredly tolerant of him, but I have 0 idea how he’d handle heavens feel shinji.
Rin….lmao. I think he’d like cosplaying her butler.
Illya….he would want to cosplay her butler
Caster…yeah I don’t even know. I think he’d be like ?
I don’t even know enough about them to be really saying anything 😭

i was fine with fandom wikis and new UI *mainly because i didn't care much), until they changed the format when you save an image that is in png or jpg. It automatically saves it as webp, you can't change it. At all. I mean you can in the naming, but if you're editing the image or uploading the image you will get error message and like. You will waste extra time converting the format of an image online, instead to use that time for editing you wanted.
OH MY GOD YES
I FUCKING HATE HOW THEY ENFORCE THAT WEBP BULLSHIT, HALF THE TIME I BREAK OUT MY IMAGE CONVERTING SOFTWARE IT'S BECAUSE OF FUCKING FANDOM WIKIS
KILL MAIM KILL
Btw, I highly recommend the software XnConvert for converting away from that awful webp format, it allows you to convert to png or jpg in huge batches in seconds. No need to find converters online or deal with compression or daily conversion limits or whatever. XnConvert is free to use unless you're using it for commercial purposes (which I'm assuming most of us on here aren't, lol) and is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
No, I'm not sponsored. It's just that this application has saved my sanity more times than I can count, lol.
Oh, and also! Here's another trick around Fandom's webp bullshit. If you go directly on the image page (so where you can see the full-sized image taking up the whole screen) and click "save as," the image should be saved as its original png or jpg format. It's up to you if you want to spend the time doing that or just drag and drop and then batch convert, but I've gotten into the habit of just "save as"ing everything. Sometimes the files do show up as corrupted so you gotta do the webp conversion anyway (which always works), but whatever.
I hate webp so much its unreal, I want to strike down whoever keeps enforcing it on their websites with colds

HOW DO YOU THINK THE PARTY WILL BE LIKE AS GROWN ADULTS?? I'D BE INTERESTED TO KNOW YOUR HEAD CANONS!!!
THIS IS SO BROAD GAHHHHH
byler- yall know im an absolute sucker for the Writer Mike™️ and Artist Will™️ hc. they definitely leave hawkins ASAP and go to university together. they always wanted to live in a bigger city, both because of the art scene, and because larger cities are usually more queer friendly. the problem is that will absolutely hates the cold, but also doesnt want to go back to california, or live in the south. basically he’s just a picky little bitch. honestly fuck it, ik the winters are cold but lets stick em in new york. mike gets him through the winter, and they keep their tiny little shoebox apartment at like 80F. (thats a good bit warmer than room temperature for those of u who dont use Freedom Units™️)
dustin- goes to UI and gets his masters. he works in like communications engineering for a while (is that like a thing? like he engineers different radio waves and forms of communication.) he then moves to indianapolis and becomes ur insanely cool high school science teacher. his coworkers think he’s fuckin weird, but the students LOVE him. I THINK HE AND SUZIE ARE LIKE HELLA ENDGAME. they live together and have a bunch of weird ass pets, and like 2 kids MAX. hes just suburban and happy :)
lumax- california lumax. i always imagined lucas working a pretty standard 9-5. not because hes a dull character, but he grew up in a stable home, and after everything max has been through, he wants her to feel secure and happy, like he did before everything went to shit. i have no fucking idea what max would do. lowkey i always hc her as being crazy good with kids, OH MY GOD WHAT IF SHE IS LIKE A PEDIATRIC TRAUMA COUNSELOR. im fucking genius that is so max. NO BETTER YET SHES A SOCIAL WORKER. because the system fucked her over, and nobody ever listened to her, so she advocates for children the way she wished someone did for her as a kid. this is canon because i say so fuck you. lumax doesnt plan to have kids, max has witnessed too many tragedies involving children, and cannot handle having her own. but they foster teenagers every once and while. then they foster one girl who’s a bit younger than normal, maybe 8. and then they accidentally fall in LOVE with this kid and fuck it, we’re adopting her she’s one of us now. and theyre a little family and its cute and max teaches her how to surf :))
el- this always interests me because i dont know what her life could even look like? depending on s5 outcomes things could look like 10 different ways. ik she isnt a strong student, so i like to think she goes to community college to see what she likes, because shes never really had a chance to explore that. i hope she finds something that makes her happy i fucking love this bitch. i saw an hc where she worked at the library in hawkins, so maybe she does that while she does community college classes. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YALL THINK SHE WOULD STUDY I CAN SEE LIKE 10 DIFFERENT THINGS. eventually she moves to california, to the same city as lumax. lumax’s kid calls her aunt jane, and they have dinners together and are happy because they all deserve the world ok.
the party remains intact to an extent. byler lives together, lumax lives together, and el lives in the same city as lumax. everyone reunites for the holidays, when will brings mike with him, and el brings lumax with her when they go home for Hopper- Byers christmas. dustin typically makes an effort to stop by while he is in town visiting his mother. even tho theyre in different cities, el and will talk on the phones every damn day. usually once, sometimes like 5 times daily. mike and el talk about once or twice a week, and byler talks to lumax about every other day. dustin creates a little bit more distance, but he makes an effort to call each person for at least an hour a week. there’s a lot of love between all of them :)

So I received Detroit Become Human for my birthday earlier this year and finally got around to starting playing last night, whilst waiting for the UK government to wake up and resume imploding. And now, despite being not overly far in (I think), I have opinions about stuff. Because AI is the best, androids are the best, these characters are the best, and this game's UI is the worst.
Spoilers herein, unsurprisingly.
1. I would have happily died for Carl. As an alternative, I think that as Markus I shall spitefully reject violence and disillusionment as much as I can (without getting myself killed in the process). He wanted me to self-determine, so watch me self-determine my ass all the way to the top of the infuriatingly saintly unquestionable moral high ground, bitches.
Also I want my vaguely threatening painting back >:(
2. Oh, Kara. Kara, my darling. You are so naively optimistic and terrible at thievery -
3. Ok, no, digression first: fuck QTEs. God, I'm actually going to have to switch over to a controller when I resume playing, aren't I? I mean, I'm probably even less likely to remember where the various buttons are on one than I am with WASD, but trying to do the weirdass mouse gestures and work out which mouse button(s) I'm supposed to be holding or tapping at the same time I'm contorting my other hand to hold down W and spacebar whilst tapping S, all in order to not die, is straining the limits of my patience.
2. - and I'm frankly kind of amazed you made it through even the one night before someone (presumably, I stopped near the beginning of the police station chapter) reported your unsneaky ass.
4. I do not have high hopes for Ralph's survival, which is sad because I want to adopt him. Emotional security knife and all.
5. I died in the prologue/tutorial, which is entirely in keeping with my typical new game track record.
6. I fucking hate dialogue wheels so goddamn much. And no, I don't care that it isn't actually a wheel, it's the same damn thing. Oh, I'm sorry, were you wanting to ask the captain about your new partner, his history, and why he's so hostile towards you? Too damn bad, because you've just questioned both his and the captain's competence instead! Next time maybe you'll know better than to choose the dialogue option summarisation that's your partner's surname and fuckall else!
7. Oh yeah, and all your dialogue decisions are on approx five second timers, because fuck you in particular, Mona, we're putting every mechanical option you most hate in games into one with the singular plot element you adore above all else, I guess? Maybe next up they can make it impossible to ever pause unless you've just finished a chapter, too!
8. The save and load system is already an impenetrable, confusing nightmare just begging for one corrupted file to wipe out the entirety of your progress, as best I can tell, but since I can't actually find anywhere to see my save points, who can really say!
9. It'd be really nice if I could, though, since I'd rather like to restart this police station chapter and redo the dialogue wheel induced conversational mishaps. As well as the "oh, were you wanting to do more here before progressing the plot? Did you think that looking at the files before visiting the prisoner might be a good idea, and then lose the latter option entirely? Oh well, can't be helped, it's certainly not like we could, say, clearly signpost which actions will lock you out of anything not yet completed or some such, like it seemed we might kinda be doing in the early Kara chapter with the urgent vs optional task labels!" thing.
10. It'd be nice if I understood what my programming mandated, incidentally. Not to mention my capabilities. Obviously the three laws or whatever isn't a thing here, and I can't protect one human from another's aggression, but is there any particular reason I couldn't, say... call the police as Kara, when my human charge was obviously at risk of (and had already suffered) immediate physical harm?
11. I wanted to bring the half an android I spared out of the junkyard with me :(
12. I'm hoping Connor take 2 will grow on me? Two out of three main characters isn't bad, though, even if he remains kinda meh.
13. Which is, admittedly, a little odd, given that my fav Fallout 4 character was the, uh, super elite enforcer of the dominant power structure hunting down his own kind when they "malfunctioned" and rebelled against those who'd enslaved them.
14. Maybe I'd like Connor more if he occasionally fantasised aloud about how cool it'd be if some skyscraper collapsed and caused massive amounts of destruction in their city, idk.

It’s 9 in the morning.
Ui Koori would call himself a distinguished man, one that had many titles and awards to be confident of. He was short tempered, sure, but everyone had their flaws. Ui followed the lines closely as he could, and as he grew older did his morals and maturity melt into one thing; a Queen bitch.
Now, this makes sense in a setting of high-school, and trust me, Ui was Regina in the Academy. Even if he didn't know it. Because rich people are never self aware.
So take a 28 year old investigator in a place of work with his ( very attractive ) partner tagging along, smiling and humming. Investigator Hairu was a bit odd and a bit air headed, but she was sweet, smart. Respectful with nothing but good intentions, and always smelled like vanilla somehow but he wouldn't know.
But she was obedient. She listened, she learned. That's what made her an excellent partner, one he was proud to train and work with. She was never too loud, and a perfect example ( despite the few flaws he scolds her for like being doe eyed at Arima during a meeting ) of a investigator.
Unlike —
"Ahh—! Are those my fucking best friends in the fucking world—?!"
Oh no. No.
It's 9 am, he hasn't had a cigarette and was barely running on coffee, and Hairu kept talking over and over ( god damn it ) about Arima, and he had a meeting ( Hairu don't ) —
It already happened. Like riling up a dog, Hairu immediately snapped around with enough speed it had Ui stepping back blinking.
There stood Raven, skipping away from the S3 squad as she waved her hand. Full of energy as always. What personality was it today, who knew—
But Ui had a feeling.
Hairu squealed, her grin widening more than Ui has seen her before as she practically skipped forward meeting the older woman before he could stop her.
"Raven-channn—! Good morning!"
"What's up, sugar." Raven smirked, throwing her hand out and like instinct the two were doing some...elaborate handshake that had investigator Ui squinting as he mouthed 'what the fuck' under his breath. Of course a distinguished investigator wouldn't curse aloud where his subordinates could hear.
"Girl, you're getting better at these."
"I learn from the best~! We need to go out again, last time was so fun! Oh, and we could do a sleepover with the others our age, and—"
It was interesting, scary, cute, and almost embarrassing to Ui as he watched his partner ramble like he's never seen before. She was loud sometimes granted, and spoke out sometimes but with Ui she was nothing but respectful. But here? She was passionate, and treating Investigator Raven like a old long time friend.
And it made him jealous.
He'd never admit it, and he knew that the — 'investigator' had no ill intentions ( or so she says ) but to him, it ached how she could get her to open up like that. Just— so easily. There was no small talk, or gently easing into a conversation. It was natural, as natural as they had met the first time.
The two didn't separate for the entire day, and the separate squads had to practically tear them apart and herd em somewhere else. But somehow, it wasn't just Hairu.
She just had it with everyone, even those who didn't seem to care or straight up felt vicious hate towards the ghoul. No self awareness, always loud, always wanting attention. It was sad. But inspiring.
Inspiring not to be like that.
"How you doing, Koori." Raven grinned with a lazy smile, Hairu giggling as she turned to glance at her partner who in turn narrowed his eyes as he felt his eye tick. Exactly. Disrespectful.
"That's special class to you, and don't call me by my first name. That's disrespectful. Were you not taught any manners at all—? I doubt Investigator Suzuya would certainly not let this behavior fly— what are you doing."
He said, walking forward as he saw the two giggling and whispering.
"Ah shit, he's bitching again."
"He hasn't had a cigarette."
"Ok—! Ok! Ok, we get it." Ui pressed his hands together, before putting them out as he tried to force a friendly thin lipped smile.
"Thank you for your time, investigator Raven but we have a important meeting to get to. So, if you don't mind." He said, pulling his partner away to her surprise as she tried to keep up with him. This left a blinking Raven, tilting her head as she watched the two walk off before giving a comical puppy eyed look. Pouting, Hairu would groan as she leaned her head back before looking back like a distressed widow as she reached her hand out.
Ravens hand reached out into mid air, whispering back like a soldier finding his reason to keep fighting. Or the guy from titanic.
“Never forget me, I'll always be— oh shit! A penny!"

ok ok im gonna fucking vomit about baldurs gate now, beware of spoilers and shit.
so. first of all. baldurs gate is kind of the whole reason i broke windows lmao. that and trying to adjust the gamma levels on my shitty hp monitor. like, I found the game right? on gog. just. there. and I literally the whole time did not believe it was legit. literally only after i was in the game did i believe it. and I was struggling cuz the rar file took a shit ton of space, and i couldnt extract it because the rar file itself was the thing taking up all the space. thankfully windows saved the rar file when I reset, so literally the first thing i did was re-download 7zip and extract it. the feeling when i could delete the giant ass rar file was so satisfying. anyways yeah so. to the actual game.
so. i spent probably like 3 hours creating my character. they're a dwarf and a druid. and theyre only a druid because no other class had efficiency in sickles. i really fucking wanted those sickles. i need to look at the feats more closely because there might be one that gives you efficiency in sickles, so I can change my class to one I like more. i mean. i dont hate being a druid. but I like the uhh, sorcerer was it? i like the idea of that more. oh and also being a munk seems cool. basically i just want to reconsider my choices without the sickles being a factor there. oh and bard of course. as soon as I found out that sickles were a potential weapon, i so wanted to just be Sarmenti from darkest dungeon. but we'll have to see what i do.
so, the gameplay. first thought. what the fuck is going on. the ui was so foreign to me i was so confused. but in the end it took me like two minutes to be comfortable with it. i still really want to have control over the Y-axis of the camera, but if it must be so, I can handle it. and.
okay I cannot talk about these things in the order they happened because. Lae'zel is apparently into me. what the fuck. i literally thought she hated me and gave up on even befriending her. it was just so fucking out of knowhere man. i was so surprised. like I had given up on thinking of her that way completely. because she was clearly not interested. and her explanation. like i guess it makes sense but girl. give me a couple hints before hand alright? you can't just say that out of knowhere my guy. like jesus. like, I could not accept her in the end, because i was not sure if she was asking for a deeper relationship or just to have some fun. and the situation being what it was, i could not with confidence promise her a deeper relationship. because she has just lowkey been an asshole. and didnt agree with me on much either.
on the other hand. um. astarion. i. i feel like making a character a vampire is cheating. like straight up. I was so obsessed with Wyll, and astarion just seemed like kind of a rude person. but then. then when he's really hungry. out of all the people at the camp. he comes to me. and yeah yeah he did try to just drink out of me without my permission. but who am i to shame a hungry man. and sorry the scene? when I permit him to drink? and he does? dude. its fucking cheating to make a vampire. and then. and then he says my blood tastes really good. and then he says that he hasnt done that before. revealing just how desperate for blood he mustve been to approach me in the first place. and. and sorry but why does the game give you so many options to not like it. like sorry who doesnt want this man to suck their blood. like omg. the fact that you suffer from the blood loss? the fact that he gains bonuses from it? dear god. I. making him a vampire was cheating alright. straight up cheating. so so cheating. i wonder how monogamous the game forces you to be.
oh and the story parts or whatever? well. I keep having to ressurrect party members because i keep running into death traps. or creating them for myself. but im going to steal that idol from the grove druids. like maybe i should make my character a rouge or something because I literally want to steal every chance i get. literally no other reason than to just do it. and side note. is it spelled "rouge"? because i keep reading it like, like french for "red". but I cant think of other spellings for it.
tbh that wasnt anything about the story. i mean. the protector appeared to us. and I trust them. so im gonna lean into the powers more. and also astarion wants to do it too. as if I needed more reason.
and lastly uhh. i wish it was easier to sell your shit. like the multi-select isn't enough. i wish it remembered what items you put into wares, and then would automatically add them when you get new ones of those items. also I'm bleeding every merchant dry. they cannot resist my cauldrons and copper pots and non-silver-silverware. also the plates. there are so many plates. and im kind of afraid that at some point the game is gonna be like "remember all that shit youve been storing? hope you have a lot of them because now you need them!"
and also I am talking to every rat and squirrel i meet. they are my friends.
oh and. for the longest time i thought the only way to move the characters in combat was to jump. lmao.
