after that acnh salt post i wanna imagine reunited ot3 wangxian in the reverse transmigration au just reacting to zyx's death threats at a video game while cuddling on the couch

ot3 is stuck in modern day for a while and og!zyx is putting up w them - gives them free reign in the apartment while she's at work as long as they don't set the place on fire

lwj pulls a super-tense zyx down onto the ugly couch, "nothing we can do but wait. it is out of our control."

"just relax, yeah?" wwx is curled up on the armchair. "hey, lin-lin, show us around? what do you do for fun?"

"it has been quite some time - it... i might not ... hm..."

"FUCK OFF I'M NOT GOING THERE"

"... you just did?"

"fuck - because that's the way forward"

lwj's first reflex is a death grip onto zyx's leg (they're full man-spreading, leaning in, mashing the controller, glaring at the tv screen)

wwx has not stopped staring, mouth open, at gamer-rage zyx

"maybe you can show us something more relaxing?"

"I'm so. Relaxed," they gritted out. "that motherfucker will die, i'll steal his shit and wear him like a pelt, and we'll move on"

a twitch and drop from a ledge later

"FUCKING - DIU KAA MAA"

*something relaxing*

"yes, YES, DIE"

an explosion goes off

"didn't you explain earlier that the new consequences of death and decay is what caused the apocalypse in the first place? and that you're trying to avoid it?"

"but they're stealing my packages. no one touches my packages without permission - FUCK OFF, YOU COCKSUCKER"

another explosion

*something more relaxing*

"so, the point of this game is to just build up your island, design it how you want - bitch, outta my way, move yo ass - and you live with these cute little animals - BUNNY BITCH GAVE ME A FAKE PAINTING" and zyx's little character proceeds to start whacking said villager w a net

zyx doesn't catch lwj's look of affront until the loading screen blacks out and they see his accusing reflection on the tv

"this - i'm not a monster!"

lwj: (ㆆ_ㆆ)

zyx: look - this one promises that wangji's rabbits are not being mistreated...

lwj: (ㆆ_ㆆ)

zyx:

lwj: (ㆆ_ㆆ)

zyx: you know whAT, THIS IS MY ISLAND, I RULE IT, THESE ANIMALS ARE MY PEONS, I DEMAND RESPECT -

wwx: ... maybe a different game?

"look how cute it is!"

zyx showing off their favorite pokemon

"but you... hate all bugs. that's a huge bug."

"but it's not real, so it's cute"

"it latches on to its prey with the claws on its neck before slamming them into the ground and jabbing them with its claw's toxic spikes. that sounds horrific."

"HAHA, BABY STILL GOT THAT NO SCOPE, SUCK MY DICK BITCH"

wwx quickly to pick up on the what's happening on screen "ah, there's an enemy behind you!"

"nah, my boyfriend has it" the enemy's head explodes in a single shot

"boy - boyfriend?" lwj interjects tersely

"lover"

"is it that one?" wwx points at a large man in black and white armor

"no." a towering figure walks out with battle-scarred blue armor, revealing his face to be an inhuman, scaly, toothy yaoguai. "my love, garrus"

#inquiry #Anonymous #zyx au's #rt au #mdzyx #acnh talk #dbd zyx will have spent most of their time composed and outwardly unsalty that it would bring out wwx's morbid curiosity #lwj is so offended at how zyx is mean to actual cute stuff and nice to not-so-cute stuff #it's because video games are a low-stakes way to vent anger and frustration that is less harmful than other methods and targets #in order:#dark souls 1 and fighting paladin leeroy #death stranding and ambushing MULEs #anch and villager dotty #pokemon sw and scoliopede (my bw 'pede that i transferred through the gens)#mass effect 2 and reunion w garrus on omega

Goldenbridges - Fun at the Distro center - part 1 SFW

Or "what would happen if Higgs escaped and wanted to have some fun with Sam?" <3

It had been a year since the threat of extinction plagued the UCA and Bridges, everyone had since moved on and were all making new lives for themselves. It had also been roughly three months, if Sam can remember correctly, since Higgs 'secretly' arrived back from the beach.

Sam knew this because Higgs, yet again, was playing dress up in his Bridges worker disguise. It hadn't taken long for him to work out that it was Higgs, his motive for wanting to put himself in danger to seemingly just be close to Sam however, well that was an entirely different kettle of fish and one that Sam had yet to figure out. He'd first theorised that Higgs was plotting some sort of revenge or attack but after three months of roleplaying Sam concluded that it was unlikely considering Higgs' previously impulsive nature. As a result he'd 'neglected' to inform his colleagues of his discovery and opted to just deal with it for the time being.

Sam was brought back to the present by the sound of a certain someone's footsteps making their way towards him across the distro center, Sam sighed knowing he was in for yet another cryptic and strange conversation with the man parading himself around as 'Peter Englert' a 'oh so humble and kind' distro center worker.

" Hi Sam! Good to see you again, honestly the work you do is so, so incredible; I wish I had even an ounce of your courage, dealing with those ever so pesky Mules and terrorists." Sam turned to face 'Peter'.

"Yep, damn tiring too so if you don't mind I'm gonna go rest thanks." Sam replied, hoping that Higgs would just leave him alone. "Oh well of course! You must be so exhausted, I didn't mean to bother you it's just that the system is yet again on the fritz! Oh and you know how things are, it's hard to fix them quickly. Sooo, hope you don't mind but I am going to be taking that cargo manually." Higgs smiled at Sam so innocently that he nearly forgot who he was actually stood talking with. "Ok sure, go ahead makes no difference to me." Sam knows that this is just another lie, the system has been down or something else has gone wrong almost every time he's been to a distro center this week alone.

Nethertheless, Sam goes to unload his cargo for Higgs, reaching for the backpack straps but before he can 'Peter' stops him "Oh Sam, there's no need to do that! Here let me take it off you, some of that cargo is veryyy fragile you know? Can't have your big, strong hands breaking it before it gets to the recipient~" Higgs carefully takes the cargo off Sam and Sam cannot for the life of him work out if Higgs is deliberately touching and brushing against him on purpose or if it's a genuine accident.

Higgs finally dissappears to sort the cargo and Sam finally feels himself relax a little, at least Higgs was gone for now and hopefully wouldn't bother him for a good while. As he went to enter his private room Higgs reappeared in the 'staff only' doorway, "Well that's all the cargo processed and sorted, thank you kindly Sam." Higgs walked over to Sam again, leaning in close and whispering "Oh uh one more thing, good to see the rumours about your aphenphosmphobia having disappeared are true~" Sam stepped back giving Higgs a look of bewilderment, He winks in return, vanishing back into the depths of the distro center.

Sam didn't waste any more time standing there that evening, part of him prayed that Higgs wouldn't follow him to the next distribution center, the other part wondered what would happen in their next interaction if he did.

Pick one, the rest are coming to kill you.

Me? Daryl. Because 1) Mac, Russell, and Scud die, 2) dunno what happens to Marco but he looks like a secondary antagonist, so he probably dies, 3) Sam’s just the mailman, think I can take him.

My Top Games of 2021

Another year in the books, another great selection of games to choose from. For this list, I’ll be counting down my top games from this year. I’ll only include releases I played from this year, so no Yakuza 7, Hades, or Miles Morales, as fantastic as both those games were. Last gen games with a PS5 port don’t count unless it’s a revamped version like Death Stranding. Enjoy!

20: Returnal

Sorry to everyone who really enjoyed this game, I just didn’t gel with it. Sure, the roguelike gameplay was awesome and the story intrigued me, but still, it just wasn’t fun to try and beat. Getting through runs seemed to be a matter of luck, with no upgrades to give your character between runs, unlike with Hades or Deathloop. I eventually returned this one since it was becoming a bore and just took up space on my system. Will I reattempt it in the future? Maybe, but that’s not likely at the moment.

19: Lost Judgement

I played Judgement earlier this year and I loved it. I enjoyed the gritty and personal detective story with the usual Yakuza insanity. As for the sequel, it seemed to vary. The School Stories missions were some of my favorite parts of the game (Amasawa is my apprentice, you cannot convince me otherwise) and I loved the new Snake fighting style. The parkour mechanics could have been implemented better, but the improved stealth was definitely welcome. As for the story, well, I’m mixed. While the game tackles heavy themes like suicide, bullying, and Japan’s justice system perfectly, it horribly fucks up when it comes to sexual assault. I won’t spoil how, but it’s not given nearly the same level of attention as the other themes it addresses, settling for bringing it up and tossing it aside by the final act. That aside, I enjoyed everything else about the game, even if the story wasn’t as personal to Yagami.

18: Persona 5: Strikers

I finally finished Persona 5 Royal earlier this year, my first game I played since my PS4 got bricked. I got the sequel right after I beat Royal and I loved it. I loved getting another chance to hang with the Phantom Thieves, have a ferris wheel date with Makoto, and imagine inventive scenarios for fanfics. Plus the new characters Sophie and Zenkichi are a blast to hang and play with, especially with the hack-and-slash gamepley that permeates the spinoff. It was one hell of a summer vacation.

17: Death Stranding: Director’s Cut

Okay, I’ve only done the prologue and started the first chapter, but this looks spectacular so far. Can’t wait to play the rest of it, because it looks gorgeous on the PS5. And if the quality of life updates are anything to go by, I may enjoy this a lot more than I did the first time around.

16: The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes

I finally relented and picked up a copy of the latest entry in this choice driven horror series. It’s a pretty solid game, a horror story set during the Iraq War in 2003. Sure, the dialogue isn’t perfect and some characters annoyed the hell out of me (looking at you, Eric), but I still enjoyed the tense atmosphere and pressure to keep everyone alive till the end of the game. There are some solid performances in this game as well as some great character arcs, especially for Jason. I can’t wait for that next entry in the series.

15: Scarlett Nexus

I’ll be honest, I’ve only finished half of this game, still need to play and finish Kasane’s storyline, but I still dug the story even if it got pretty nuts at certain points. The characters are endearing, the action is a blast to play, the voice acting was on point, and I was so invested for all of it. Now I need to finish Kasane's arc to get the full experience.

14: Deathloop

I got into rogue-like games this year with Hades and this gem of a game. I enjoyed the Dishonored games, but damn, did they stress me out when it came to going nonlethal. Enter Deathloop, and all my problems are gone. This game is fast-paced, entertaining as hell when it comes to dialogue, and incredibly replayable. Still need to finish it, but it’s freaking great so far.

13: Tales of Arise

Still need to finish this, but what a great introduction to the Tales franchise all the same. With gorgeous looking graphics, an incredibly likeable group of main characters, amazing voice acting, exciting combat, and heavy themes like prejudice and self-hate, this has been an amazing JRPG to play. Just need to finish it to get the full experience.

12: Alan Wake: Remastered

Hello, old friend. I’m glad I was able to revisit this gem of a game, even if some mechanics hadn’t aged as well as other parts of the game. Also glad we’re getting a sequel in a couple years, and an M-rated survival horror game at that.

11: Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles

This was basically the Naruto games with a better story, not that I’m complaining. Definitely keeping this one for a while, especially as a Demon Slayer fan.

10: Kena: Bridge of Spirits

Only started playing this one recently, but I’m glad I did all the same. It feels like the old PS2 games I played as a kid, simple linear games with cute protagonists and sidekicks and an evil monster to defeat. Granted, I’m not that far into it and my experience may change later, but for now, it’s in my top 10.

9: Resident Evil: Village

This one has gone up on the list as the months since it came out have gone by. It’s an excellent horror game that will scare you shitless as well as entertain. With some fantastic sequences, like House Beneviento, it cements itself as one of Resident Evil’s best entries. Can’t wait for what comes next!

8: Mass Effect: Legendary Edition

This was one of the worst kept secrets of last year, and I loved every minute of it. From revisiting old planets like Tuchanka and Illium to participating in events like the Genophage Cure and the Fall of Thessia to romances and friendships, it was a blast to return to this series and I sobbed when it was over. And it looked gorgeous as well. I need that new Mass Effect game.

7: The Medium

A simple, yet incredibly effective horror game that shook me with its morally grey story, this stayed on my mind throughout the year. Top it off with one hell of a cliffhanger ending and a masterful performance by Troy Baker as The Maw, I couldn’t put this game down. Definitely pre-ordering a copy of a sequel if anything is announced.

6: Hitman 3

I can’t believe it took me this long to get into the series. It was just so enjoyable to kill my targets, especially when the method was creative as hell. Add to that an impressive story, careful preplanning, and the ability to play the missions from the past two games on PS5, and you’ve got a winning combination when it comes to a stealth game.

5: Far Cry 6

My expectations for this game were high and it did not disappoint. Not only was Giancarlo Esposito’s performance of Anton Castillo a masterclass in playing a villain, it was also Ubisoft’s first actually political game. While not all of it seemed to hit perfectly, the game’s message of fighting fascism hit home, especially in the wake of all that has happened these past two years. Also, the game’s protagonist, Dani Rojas, is definitely the best Far Cry protagonist I’ve seen in a while. And some post credit audio may have confirmed that a certain villain is still alive in the Far Cry universe.

4: Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy

I beat this game quickly because I was addicted from the first scene aboard the Milano. Everything about this game is amazing, from the story to the combat to the banter between the Guardians to the lore. It was a wild ride that made me tear up several times. Plus, it was set to an amazing score and soundtrack, and that’s a win for any Guardians game.

3: Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart

The first showcase of what the PS5 could really do with its games did not fall short at all. From the incredibly short load times to the stellar graphics to the engaging action sequences, I loved this adventure from start to finish. Plus, the legendary Jennifer Hale voices new protagonist Rivet and she is amazing at her job. For anyone on the fence about getting a PS5, here is your reason for buying one, provided you’re able to.

2: Psychonauts 2

I played and finished the first game years ago and was incredibly impressed by the sequel. Not only has it been the best looking Double Fine game I’ve ever played, it’s been one of the best action-adventure games, especially when it comes to dealing with mental health issues. The Bob Zanotto sequence that dealt with alcoholism was especially poignant for me, since I seem to have increased my alcohol intake since a dear friend of mine died this past April. Also, Jack Black was spectacular as the Brain in a Jar, I need more of Jack Black in video games.

1: Life is Strange: True Colors

It was a tough choice, but in the end, I had to pick that game that had me sobbing from start to finish. It was my first time playing a Life is Strange game from start to finish and I adored it. With the romance and the empathetic abilities, plus an incredibly likeable protagonist in Alex Chen thanks to a fantastic performance from Erika Mori, this game easily cemented itself as my personal pick for game of the year.
