My toxic trait is when playing Subnautica, referring to like any leviathan as "guy", "girl" or "dude" and when I see the shadow of one descending upon me I freak out to my friend and go "THERE'S A GIRL OVER HERE!!!!"
#giuvefldskcxjoivhgfvjdc#subnautica#game talk#I'm playing with some mods that make the animals more aggressive#and increased reaper spawn rates too#so I never know when they're gonna pounce#bc I wanted to be SEaSonAL for hallooween#I regret everything

One of my many favorite little character moments in LM3 is King Boo popping up shortly after Peach is saved and she holds out her arms in front of both Mario and Luigi
Aww yisss SO many great scenes in Mansion 3! 😩👌💯 I love that Mario often does the same thing too. It's so telling of what these characters are about and what their motivations are, and the game is filled to the brim with those visual clues. The body language and facial expressions are absolutely top tier, and the protective gesture in particular never gets old. 🥺❤️

no wait oh my god i just realized- i’m watching Kastaclysm’s playthrough of outer wilds right now and as she’s talking to hal i noticed their spots look like the hourglass twins. and hal and the hatchling are implied to be very close, even working on the translator together
am i wrong???

I'm reading up on Zelda 2 instead of playing it and ran into this:
The Prince of Hyrule is the son of the King of Hyrule and brother of Princess Zelda I.
Huh?? There's a Zelda who has a brother??
When the king passes away, the young prince becomes king, but no crest appears on his hand, instead only inheriting the incomplete Triforce. A Magician close to the young king suggests that Princess Zelda might know something about it. (--) The Magician threatens her with a spell of eternal slumber, but she stubbornly refuses. The Magician chants the spell, and she collapses in that spot. (--) The young king regrets his mistake and grieves for Princess Zelda. (--) He then orders that every girl born into the Royal Family will be named Zelda to let the tragedy never be forgotten.
Ah, the drama! The young royal who feels inadequate over not inheriting their powers correctly, this is like botw! The sibling jealousy! A fateful mistake committed in a moment of fury and the ensuing regret! Starting the name tradition! I think we as a fandom are really sleeping on this guy, I mean I could find some art of him but there's clearly material for him to have more presence. And the games themselves certainly could give the Zeldas some other family than a dad who looks old enough to be her great-grandfather if we're lucky (and a dead mum if we're really lucky).

Shuffling around names for some of my characters but once that's sorted, I'll have a master post with each of their personalities and things like that~
Until then, enjoy this picture I designed to be a poster! Hoping to take it to my convention to drum up interest!

Haiii me again what brushes do you use for lineart or uhh how do you do those textures thingies i can never get those to work
i use a variety of brushes but my main ones are these three!
you can download the first pen here and the third pen here. i dont remember where the second brush came from (as in, i dont remember if i made it or if i tinkered around with the settings, so i dont want to re-upload it just in case). all three brushes are similar to the blots brush in sai2.
if you want a brush that's even MORE textured and dry, alex's ink is good. you can download them here and here. i used those brushes for this scene:
as for the paper textures, the quickest way to get that 'vintage' or 'old' effect is by using paper textures and black&white grunge textures. multiply the paper layer and use screen for the grunge layer. you can also play around with the blending and level settings to get various effects.
there are grunge brushes available if you want more control over it (and to decrease file size), this one is good and this one is good too.
and lastly...for the halftones, there are three auto actions i use. first one is kemo's auto action. i used it for some of the sprites. you can download it here.
for the second one (and the one i use the most), unfortunately, i dont remember where i found the download for it. if it helps, it was called separations and i want to say i found it on a forum thread.
the best way to do halftones, without using brushes, is on photoshop. i used this tutorial to create my photoshop auto action.
there's also various of halftone brushes available if you want to have control of your dots. links here, here, here, and here (this one comes with an auto action AND brushes).
i only use clip studio paint nowadays, so i don't know what the equivalents would be in other art programs. if you're looking for something outside of clip studio paint, try looking up brushes that are described as 'textured', 'rough', 'dry', 'grunge', 'blotty', 'runny', 'blotchy', 'gritty', 'noise', 'charcoal', 'sumi-e', 'ink wash', etc.

Decided to treat myself to Dead Island 2, since I did enjoy the first one, even if it was janky as heck. But replay that game with the super kick cheat and well...it is brilliant.
How could I not play the survivor who is gleefully punching a zombie?
Look at her. Look at how happy she is. (she's also fuckin jacked)

Was trying to clear out the exclamation marks on Tears of Themis and accidentally started Vyn's Blossom Chapter. It didn't let me click out so I just let it play until I could
(Small spoiler for that ahead, and a ramble)
Vyn referring to MC as a "girlfriend" seems so endearingly immature of him. Personally the same would go with Artem using the word
I don't know, Vyn just don't seem like the type to use the word girlfriend. He seems far too uppity and eccentric for that. I mean that's part of the reason he isn't really top of my list in comparison with the other lads. At least even Artem is the "cool and collected except when romance is involved" trope. Vyn just doesn't seem very fun
But then I remember that one card where he offers to help fix a busted pipe and desperately wanted to look like he knew what he was doing (For the record, he failed but it's okay MC didn't immediately catch on to that.) (I did tho, homeboy does not know basic household shit to save his life and I clocked in on that immediately)
TLDR: Realising Vyn can be endearing sometimes even if he isn't necessarily my fav

Gotta say my biggest question now that I've gotten nearly all the lore in the game is how the actual fuck does gary work as a fulltime cult leader, a landlord, a doctor (?) at the clinic, an event planner for birthday parties (?) and also manage to very quickly write so many notes for us to find and then sprint away
full disclosure the first time I played the game I wasn't rlly paying attention to the notes so I kept seeing the last name miller come up and I was like "huh multiple ppl named that" why am i thi sSTUPID
Also for some reason I thought lisa and john were married and finding out they were just friends was a huge mind fuck, alSO WHERE DOES SHE COME FROM AT THE ENDING, HOW DID SHE K N O W
anyway I'm now going to be frothing at the mouth waiting for a chapter 4
#higdvnklmcmkjgiodbuckjn#pls help my last brain cell has been working overtime#game talk#faith#sorry I'm just a teeeeeny bit hyperfixated on this game#if you couldn't tell

Ive recently learned that they did a playtest for Marathon the game based off of the same series from the 90s.
and i gotta say, im so over bungie trying to do sleek stuff. ever since destiny 1 i really disliked what they did with it and how they turned all the dlcs into live service vaulting as well as just making every dlc expensive as hell.
my BIGGEST gripes?
theyre turning a campaign focused game with a side of multiplayer into an extraction shooter
and they completely turned the art style into some basic cyber corpo vibe.
Game genre matters - extraction shooters are limited severally by their game genre, you can only have so much going on in it. Maps are constrained by locations, gameplay and balance is utterly important because 1. you dont want snipers across the map 2. you gotta have a game flow around it and you have to direct it to an end point. 3. story CANNOT take place in it at all, if you do youll end up having players be in positions they cannot be in or interrupt the entire flow of the game for story.
Originally Marathon was a campaign game with multiplayer thrown in on the side, which has far more freedom in how it can approach things because it can control flow, story, and atmosphere way more easier.
they turned a full meal into a scavenger hunt that you must grind through to get a fry which shouldve come with your burger but they said you gotta work for it. Where a campaign means you can go through it getting the meal at a steady pace then after it you can get dessert on the side (multiplayer).
Art style from older years strike more than modernization -
during the development of Marathon 2024 they decided to redo the art style, but completely lost the idea the original was going for.
these are from the Marathon 2024 trailers
the last image is of the S'pht which are aliens from the original series, which is shrouded in darkness, which sucks because its legitimately the only thing you can fully recognize from the first 3 games.
theyve changed the art style so much this is supposed to be a cyborg but lacks the brutal designs of the original
its too sleek, its too modern
now here is art by Craig Mullins (original site which the art is from https://marathon.bungie.org/story/CM_history.html and https://marathon.bungie.org/story/CM_blake.html)
Each of these images have so much style, so much care, and so much design to it the announcement trailer makes it look so unappealing, its too formulaic with the colors being just entirely one uniform color, how the robotic people just look like theyre japanese synths/just synths from fallout 4.
entirely missing the point of it all, *honestly looks way too similar to Brink*
a quote from a review of the first marathon game by Mandaloregaming (please watch these, these show how much the games look amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9rMu1XYB98 )
"its like you have all these enemy types with bright colors variations and they look cartoony, but in a stylistic way thats very appealing to the eyes"
Now you may be wondering why I'm even talking about this at all, well recently Bungie laid off a lot of staff, and I think its important that we talk about the amount of work that goes into these games.
reinventing the wheel shouldnt be your go to answer when coming back to a series, all the work the devs who worked on Marathon 1 to Infinity shouldn't be just a note in a devs log.
*it should never be taylor swifts cover of september by earth wind and fire* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnDnphYTb0Q

Now the question is, which game to do next? I'd prefer it be something enjoyable this time. During the time I was trudging through Zelda 2 I managed to acquire most of the zeldas I haven't played yet through mischievous and wicked means so there's a lot to pick from, if I manage to get them working.

Burnout
It got me.
I got burned out on my novel. So I've decided to switch tack and do some work on my mystery game.
I may invoke old ask games just to answer them with the Accessories cast. Pictures and stuff below the cut
I've cobbled together some quick, simple art to use in a temp RPG Maker project to test the puzzles, clue distribution and general pacing, but I think it's pretty neat. Here's Stella, Ilya & Lilah, plus Eliot (who isn't recruitable in this portion of the game, so that's why he's facing the other way)
And some rough images of two side characters: August & Joshua
The Squad
#gem art#accessories to murder#game talk#feel free to badger me about this bunch of anyone else#I started scripting things and realised how long this is gonna take#but if i can whip up over a hundred proxy images in two days#I can write hundreds of lines of dialogue too
