i think the reason why im so drawn to spirit tracks and pkmn scarvi is that having the legendary/princess as a companion rather than a goal that marks the games completion makes me feel satisfied the way i would after helping a friend

my brother always teases me about how I still havent finished botw after almost 7 years bc "id rather be out picking flowers" which i wont say is untrue. and yes i know Zeldas been holding off ganon for 100 years, yes i can get some sort of idea what her relationship with link was like by recalling memories and going through her diary. ive always loved botw for its unique storytelling and setting which makes it stand out, because it lets you get to know who you're saving.

but because theyre memories, it only works if theres something for the player to investigate that already happened. its retroactive (but effective nonetheless)

on the other hand, spirit tracks does something similar but instead of having the player try to piece together memories and interpret them as a spectator, you actually have an opportunity to get to know zelda yourself by talking to her and working together. besides making it a gameplay mechanic, giving the player control over how they interact with zelda makes it so much more personable.

and I find that making the goal feel personal instead of an obligation gives me more of a reason to work towards it. I know what kind of person botw zelda was but as the player, shes still very much a stranger to me. but spirit tracks zelda? thats my friend!!!! she invited me to go to the beach after we get her body back!!! i dont want to whip her to make her move faster thats mean :(

you know how hostage negotiators are trained to introduce themselves and get to know the person theyre negotiating with because its harder to hurt someone when you know what their favorite food is? its kinda like that, because it feels like im helping a friend than being told or led to do smth

and although i havent played scarvi myself, i feel an attachment to koraidon and miraidon even just watching playthrough clips because its like!! thats my weird scaly dog!! it loves sandwiches and we're friends!!! you know!!!!!!

#i dont normally write long posts like this but i think ive been trying to put this into words for a long time and it finally happened #my cloth mother spirit tracks zelda and my wire mother lttp zelda #ACTUALLY ANOTHER THING when i was a kid i always felt guilty when i had to catch the legendary at the end of the game #because to me it was like 'i know none of this is real but if i capture you and have you under my thumb am i robbing the world of something #normal thoughts for a 10 year old to have #when i talked to my brother abt this he was like 'i mean yeah the point is to dunk on the NPCs what were you expecting' and i mean i think #i get that its supposed to feel rewarding because the legendary is THE reward. but it doesnt feel right and i dislike he feeling of pushing #others down to get ahead. i guess u can argue sun/moon does smth similar where you have nebby with lillie #but lillie still ends up handing nebby over to the player and i STILL feel bad because im like shit man you raised that little guy #and koraidon/miraidon feels less like a reward but more like overpowered motorcycle lizard that is just so oupydog. and i love him #and in spirit tracks i went out of my way doing some of the side quests bc zelda asked nicely and honestly that was enough for me #i think all of this boils down to.. i feel very protective abt things i care abt so stories that give me a reason to care hits harder #this can also go the other way bc i CRIED when i finished links awakening because i KNEW every person and im responsible for #literally the end of their world. like. there was a family with 5 kids. marin loved singing and cared about me. she was my FRIEND #i just. ugh. i have too many feelings rn. i kinda wanna draw more spirit tracks link and zelda i think that wld make me feel better #yapping #diary #loz #pokemon

Y'all ever stopped listening to your favorite bands for about 2 years for reasons you don't even know yourself. Maybe it's because you're busy. Maybe it's because you thought you've acquired new tastes. You really don't know. But then suddenly you listened to one song of theirs again and now you're sobbing over how good the songwriting was? And now that you're not a dumb High Schooler without much experience you understand the lyrics even more?

Anyways that's me with Fall Out Boy right now lmao. It's high time I listen to their new album later.

#incoherent rambles #ansy-stalks #confession: would yall kill me if my fave album of theirs is MANIA hAHAHAHHA—#LISTEN #NONE OF THE SONGS WERE A MISS— lord i remember how people criticized that album in its release and how fans are worried about the dubstep-y #vibe (me too cuz “yo idk much about music but how will andy & joe do this live im sorry im dumb 😭”)#then again none of their songs in their wholeass discography is a fricking miss anyways /absolutely biased #even their covers are fun to listen like I Wanna Be Like You??? That sht is on repeat lmao. I Wann Dance With Somebody?? good sht dawg #I think my second fave album is either Folie & Save Rock and Roll? Just cuz Folie is my vibe and SRAR were all dhxjkwjfiaokeixiw <33 #Every fan loves Infinity On High for sure— Golden & ILALWTWIATTGYO (me & you) makes me sob every time #broooo the raw ass line of “I saw God crying at the reflection of my enemies and all the lovers with no time for me”#and “the best way to make it through with hearts & wrists intact is to realize two of the three ain't bad. aaaIIINT BAAAAAADDD—”#for folie a deux there's not a damm instance where I did not feel sadness over What A Catch Donnie. Dawg. The way Elton John sings his part #too bro 😭😭😭😭#AND HOLYYY SHT THE AFTER(LIFE) OF A PARTY PHCCKKK I FORGOT HOW THAT NEVER FAILS TO MAKE ME HOLD IT IN HSJDJKSOSID #i would skip that song cuz it makes me so sad sometimes 😭😭😭😭#OKAY YOU KNOW WHAT LET ME RETHINK MY ORDER OF FAVE ALBUMS HAHAHAHHAHA #“I'm a stitch away from making it AND A SCAR AWAY FROM FALLING APART. APART. BLOOD CELLS PIXELATE AND EEEYEESS DILATE- KISS AWAY THE TEARS #AND KILLS ON THE MOUTH OF AAAALLLL. MY FRIIIEEENDS—“ PHHHHCCKCKKKSIEOS 😭😭😭😭😭😭#JDJAI WAIT AND THE ENTIRETY OF SOPHOMORE SLUMP #OKAY I NEED TO STFU IN THESE TAGS HAHAHAHAHHA #okay to defend my MANIA adoration (do people still hate this album? hope not). ***Bishop's knife trick.***#“I'm sifting through the sand.Looking for pieces of broken hourglass.Trying to get it all back—put it back together—As if the time #had never passed. I know I should walk away but I just want to let you break my brain and I can't seem to get a grip. no. no matter how I #live with it. thESE ARE THE LAST—“#I'm sorry. the delivery is just too delicious.#MANIA is a fricking mixbag of weirdly mainstream inspirational songs- to suddenly; drugs- to actually being unhinged- to one of the saddest #“im tryina redeem myself” song(s) (heaven's gate- church- and bishop's)#okay i really need to shut up 😭#aight. i will stop.

i'm going on a VERY fun rabbit hole with this life series/hermitcraft/empires blaseball au thing, so have the next installment, the hermit blaseball au! this one is a lot easier to understand if you don't know anything about blaseball, because this is Much more "i've just put them into the plot of blaseball, they're just hanging out in there". my empires blaseball au can be found here, and the third life blaseball au will be linked here one i finish writing that up.

also, a few of my choices for teams i am not... particularly confident about (namely xisuma, bdubs, hypno, and tango) so if you have a better suggestion for them please pitch it.

Grian: Batter for the LA Unlimited Tacos

Scar: Batter for the Miami Dale

Mumbo: Batter for the New York Millennials, Siphon

Cleo: Pitcher for the Kansas City Breath Mints

Ren: Batter and team captain for the San Fransisco Lovers, Charm

Bdubs: Batter for the Hawai’i Fridays

Impulse: Batter for the Hellmouth Sunbeams

Pearl: Pitcher for the Houston Spies, Precognition

Gem: Pitcher for the Kansas City Breath Mints

Xisuma: Pitcher for the Philly Pies

Evil X: Pitcher for the Hades Tigers

Wels: Batter for the San Fransisco Lovers

Hels: Batter for the Baltimore Crabs

Hypno: Batter for the Mexico City Wild Wings

XB: Batter for the Atlantis Georgias

Beef: Pitcher for the Dallas Steaks

Keralis: Batter for the Core Mechanics

Joe: Pitcher for the Kansas City Breath Mints, later batter for the Seattle Garages

TFC: Coach of the Ohio Worms

Doc: Pitcher for the Core Mechanics

Jevin: Batter for the Charleston Shoe Thieves, Flinch, later rerolled into Reverberating

False: Pitcher for the Tokyo Lift

Stress: Batter for the Tokyo Lift

Iskall: Batter for the Breckenridge Jazz Hands

Tango: Pitcher for the Chicago Firefighters, Fire Eater

Cub: Batter for the Charleston Shoe Thieves, got Flinch from fighting god and got it rerolled into Debt

Etho: Pitcher for the Canada Moist Talkers

Zedaph: Pitcher for the Yellowstone Magic

Wormman: Pitcher for the Ohio Worms

This AU is, even more so than the Empires part of this AU, just me shoving the Hermits into the Blaseball universe and letting it happen.

The only people who are even sort of replacing an actual Blaseball player are Cleo, Joe, and Gem.

Cleo is our Jaylen. She pitches for the Kansas City Breath Mints, and is the best pitcher in the league, and when the Forbidden Book opens, she dies. Her intended replacement is False Symmetry II, aka Empires!False, but when the Forbidden Book is opened in the Empires, Hermitcraft, and Life Series universes all at once, everything gets a little muddled, and everyone comes out of it a little muddled. The biggest change is that Cleo is instead replaced by Gemini Tay, the newly generated player from the Empires world who was meant to replace Xornoth.

When she is resurrected at the end of season 6, Joe goes into the Shadows in exchange. Within a few seasons, he is able to leave the Shadows and bats for the Breath Mints for about a season, afterwards he is transferred to the Seattle Garages, where he stays. I am not putting him back in the Shadows because it makes me kind of sad.

Cub and Jevin are both players for the Thieves, so they get cursed as a result of the boss fight against the Shelled One. We will resolve that later. Hels, despite being on the Crabs, does not get cursed, because he doesn’t join the Crabs until after they return from ascension.

Other than that, the Hermits are just sort of Existing in the world of Blaseball. Evil X and Hels are both created in similar ways to Evil Twin and Bontgomery Mullock, which is to say, Blessings break and accidentally clone a guy, so we just slightly edit one of their names and keep going. Don’t worry about it.

At one point during Expansion, while the Reroll Will is still in effect, fans of the Thieves attempt to reroll the Flinch modifier that Cub got as a side effect of fighting god and losing that one time. It gets rerolled into Debt, in a similar vein to what happened to Silvaire Roadhouse, but because he’s on the Thieves, he actually gets to kill people. Good for him. Jevin’s Flinch modifier also gets rerolled, but he gets Reverberating. Good for him, but in a different direction.

#mcyt blaseball au #hermitcraft #ooooo come closer you wanna learn about blaseball/mcyt stuff so bad #important other notes: joe hills wrote and sings rejoice in this world because DUH of COURSE he does #all of the ex hermits got incinerated at some point but i dont know enough about them to tell you what teams they were on #any hermits who go on extended hiatuses (hypno wels mumbo etc) are just elsewhere. dw they'll be back. probably.

Is it so much to ask if I just wanna categorize and learn about alien flora and fauna in No Man’s Sky but like, actually do more than just scan them

I wanna learn about the ecosystems and what fauna eat which flora, if they can even be categorized as such, and just, I want to create entire mockumentary levels of detail about alien planets

I wanna learn about the ruins of ancient civilizations and who they were and why they fell

I wanna learn and speak the tongues of many worlds as if they were real

Can I please just have a game where I am the science division of Starfleet, please??

Please???

GIVE ME THE TOTALLY UNNECESSARY BUT RIDICULOUSLY COOL STAR TREK LORE IN AN INTERACTIVE MEDIUM DAMN YOU

#the urge to learn about everything but not having the academic wherewithal or the economic means to go to school about it is CRUSHING me #I WANNA BE A GODDAMN BLUE SHIRT STARFEET OFFICER PLEASE I BEG YOU #yes I know about Star Trek online but it’s centered around established lore about things that matter directly to the plot as a whole #I just wanna know how the ecosystem on Talos iv is recovering and how those singing plants work #I wanna know what Sehlats were like before they were domesticated #I wanna be fluent in Vulkansu #I want humanoid Star Trek aliens whose biology is weird in EVERY way not just a couple ways that set them apart from #just plain old humans #give me a game like THAT Star Trek and i will be a happy camper #science fiction #science division #star trek #yearning

Song of the Day: December 14

"KMAG YOYO" by Hayes Carll

#song of the day #still sick >:(#I'm not convinced I actually /like/ this song but I can't sing today either way and it caught in my head last time I was in Nick's car #very very good rhythm and quick enough to be a challenge to learn even if I might not ever listen to it again once I've got it down #and I keep thinking I should look into how informal military abbreviations were established and proliferated #I dunno how commonly understood KMAG YOYO is (kiss my ass goodbye; you're on your own) but I'd say probably a majority of #--hmm you know now I'm really doubting my 'majority'. maybe I've got a sampling bias.#I mostly know folks on the poorer and more rural side of things and I've known a lot of law enforcement and military people. hmm--#anyway I was going to say a majority of Americans but maybe that's not generalizable. certainly a majority of Americans I've met though #know what FUBAR and SNAFU mean at least in the colloquial sense #(I've heard disagreements about the particulars of FUBAR. whether it's 'beyond all repair' or 'beyond all recognition' mostly)#and I just wonder how they came to be standardized and spread. my just-spitballing guess is Vietnam vets but I wanna look it up #I suppose if we can manage to get 'okay' so heavily popularized with its weirdass origins then anything could happen #and English is such a fucky language anyway #a little research project for post-fever Alexis! she'll be so happy #edit: first late song post. two weeks in exactly. not too bad!#and only two hours late too! (current-fevered-Alexis fell asleep in the shower)

if there’s one thing I truly dislike about the german musical scene it’s this ridiculous standart of translating a musical into german but then?? still hiring english actors to play the parts? who don’t even speak german but learn the german words and pronounciation for the role?

Like. Either translate it and hire german actors or don’t translate it and then you can hire anyone who speaks english well enough (which will be most ppl)

Like when I was a kid and first saw Cats I loved it but I thought they were putting on weird accents bc they were cats until I realized years later that no, those were brits singing german with english accents.

Saw Starlight Express last week, loved it! Could not understand what they were singing in some parts, bc my auditory processing issues do not mix very well with accents and some of them had strong ones too.

Just.... just hire ppl who speak german. Pls. How much time are you spending, coaching them on how to pronounce the german words? Why are you making these actors sing an entire musical in a language they don’t speak? Just let them sing in english or hire ppl who speak german. Please.

#musicals #theater #cats #starlight express #it's really interesting bc it's not just an english accent #that a person who's english but speaks german would have #it's this very specific accent of an english person who does not actually speak german #and has been taught by a coach specifically how to pronounce all these words #interesting but frustrating when i just can't understand what they're singing #again part of that is the auditory processing issues #and the actors were amazing and i still really enjoyed it #but still it's so silly #they translated hamilton too did you know? kinda wanna watch it bc i'm curious #but also i'm like ???? how can a translation of such a lyrically complicated musical be any good?

It’s hard not to want to gatekeep when I got waitlisted and passed over for a CHANCE to get tickets when there are so many people at the opening night concert that didn’t even know the songs she was playing

#taylor swift #eras tour #not saying you have to know every word #or If you do you HAVE to scream sing everything #but It’s clear from what I’m hearing that there were plenty of people there who barely seemed like fans #who only knew her hits and barely even that #(saw someone confuse wildest dreams with bad blood like come ON)#you either fought for your life on tm for an artist you didn’t even care that much about #or you’re some rich kid who paid way over value for resale tickets just cuz you could #and i cant deny that fucking sucks when I didn’t get tickets and am praying they go down more so I can afford some #it wasn’t like they bought it in general sale #it was verified FAN presale and as someone who was in her top fans and knows the words to every song #It sucks that there’s a possibility I won’t be able to go and they did #and If that makes me a selfish awful bitch then so be it #i just hope if I go that Detroit is hype cuz I don’t wanna be hype and not be in good company #so much of the fun of a show like this is sharing it with other people

watched the little mermaid trailer, am once again begging these stupid remakes to stop adding really bad vocal runs to random parts of the songs just so you can pretend this isn’t a copycat cashgrab

#personal #what's so incredibly frustrating is that from the little we've seen her sing (shitty vocal runs aside)#halle sounds absolutely AMAZING #just STOP with stupid vocal runs in the middle of songs for no reason #i haven't watched this movie ever since its initial release because i hate it with the passion of a million suns #but beyonce did some of that in the stupid bad stupid awful stupid lion king remake that was bad and stupid #and guess what!! it made the song sound like SHIT #i think it's just cuz vocal runs are stuff you hear in things like pop or r&b #but these aren't pop songs or r&b songs the songs of the disney renaissance were very explicitly modeled after musical theater #they're very theatrical songs #it's why beyonce bombed so fucking hard as nala because beyond the fact that she isn't an actress and certainly not a voice actress #the style she's good at singing is just nowhere near the style of the songs tim rice and elton john made for that movie #and now they're making halle do the same for little mermaid at the expense of what otherwise sounded like an impressive performance #like stop it!!! just stop it!!!! we KNOW the only reason you wanna add new shit is to try and justify the rerelease of the songs #but we all know that this entire enterprise is just a moneymaking machine with no heart or soul or love behind it #so just quit fucking with the songs and do your money machine thing #if i wanted to listen to bad covers of part of your world i'd watch my old recital tapes
