i am still hoping for that 1/3 scale vinyl girl imomodoll's sculptor was teasing like a year ago................... imagine the objecthead dolls you could make with that thang
#you could put anything on her neck. go into the thrift store and find nicknacks in the perfect size...#although they have a more pressing matter to attend to. the 68cm boy body#if u dont know they released the 68cm boy heads. and then. the body's 3d files got corrupted 😔#so they then released the 75cm body instead since they needed to remake the 68cm body from scratch#but a lot of people got confused because the 68cm heads were released with no body and the 75cm bodies had no heads#and lemme tell u. they were not. compatible LOL you wouldnt think 7 cm would make that much of a difference if ur not familiar with dolls#but it does. dear LORD it does. the 75cm body's neck is like something absurd like a 15cm circumference#compared to the like. 10cm neck holes of the 68cm heads LOL#tiny head...tiny tiny head.......#i do hope they come out with that 68cm boy. and honestly i would ADORE a shorter 1/3 scale boy too#people arent making 60cm boys anymore 😔😔😔😔😔 actually the 60cm size with dolls rn#regardless of gender has been a bit unpopular for sculptors#theres plenty of older models from older companies but ive noticed most new smaller sculptors#prefer 1/4 which i get. its smaller but still a decent size for both cutesy baby shaped dolls and more mature figured dolls#not too expensive but still a good size to work in#but ive also noticed smaller artists really love their uncle sized dolls. huge ass dudes. 70-80cm guys#just GIANT fucking dudes#so most new sculpts i see come out from artists i follow are either like a cute small 1/4 scale or some giant three foot tall muscle man#nothing in between hgkfsdhjdshjfjdskfd. its not bad or anything but it is funny to see the trends LOL#and i would like to see more 1/3 scales...i think its a nice size! big and a little unruly to handle BUT fantastic for sewing clothes for

familiarity, the lack thereof, and the only way it could have ended.
the thing is, ultrakill is a very diegetic game. near everything, from the style meter to the bottomless arsenal to the shitass graphics themselves, are explained in some way by some in-universe fact.
so, what with violence and the implication that V1 was designed to counter earthmovers
what with 7-4 and the fact that it is a culmination of this implication
i wonder. when V1 looked up at that earthmover, did it know, with whatever passes for instinct in a machine, exactly what to do? and if it did, then, how is this conveyed to the player?
diegetic as the game is, how does it engineer a situation in which the player, themselves, knows exactly what they have to do?
the biggest factor, i think, is the fact that the earthmover's health bar appears the moment you lay eyes (or camera, or whatever) on it, and it does not leave until you have finally killed this colossus.
but this factor is much more subtle than it appears at first glance. yes, big honkin' boss healthbar on screen for the entire level, what more to it. there's a good deal more, it turns out.
first off- this is the shortest leadup by far to any bossfight in the game. you slide through a single vent, and you are greeted with benjamin right out in the open. even P-1, devoid of any other hazards as it is, gives you a long trek down the spinal staircase before you reach the flesh prison. 7-4 has none of it. you enter the level, you enter the stage, and there you have it. you know exactly what you are up against right from the outset, and it's not quite a feeling of familiarity but it tells you exactly what you have to do. which is the point of this all, isn't it?
7-4 is also... not a bossfight! it is a full level! it is a full level framed as a bossfight. the health bar frames this full complete level as a bossfight.
and on one hand, this is not new news. on the other hand, i think this is the crux of it. the thing is, most bossfights are near-to-entirely new. you do not know how the boss acts. you do not know their attack patterns. you do not know their capabilities. you are learning something new. levels, though, you have done a thousand times over and so the player knows how they need to play through this bossfight in a way that is not quite present with any other boss in the game.
the content of the level is new, of course, because that's how it goes. but you know the motions. you have done this for two acts prior, you know the motions. you know exactly what to do.
also! this level does not exist in a vacuum. what i am saying is this: the rest of violence layer shifts its storytelling and its tone and even its graphics. it is something completely new in contrast to the rest of the game. 7-4, though, returns to environments and graphics more akin to what you have experienced before, bringing you back to familiarity and again knowing what to do here in a way the rest of violence hasn't let the player experience.
one more thing about this level: it plays directly into expectations. which is something that the rest of the game actually does not tend to do.
the game, at base, is just not a typical FPS. it gives you movement like a roguelite or a platformer, it takes guns you expect to know the mechanics of and goes utterly wild with how far the archetype can be changed.
in a smaller scope, here is a comparison of the earthmover and the corpse of king minos as two separate colossal bosses foreshadowed in similar ways. and i mean, minos's bossfight isn't unprecedented in other works. but i think the thing that matters here is that you are not, in fact, the underdog as is the case with so many other bosses of its ilk. riven of many voices, destiny 2, similar bossfight similar scale. you are hiding from her you are a fireteam of many you are triumphing over a dragon larger than life. project gestalt, madness project nexus, you are pulling out every stop you can to take down something so far over your head (both literally and metaphorically). corpse of king minos- V1 looks up, stands its ground, and parries his god damn fist.
and the thing is, the earthmover plays into a different expectation, but it's playing into an expectation nonetheless. you look at this thing and you climb it and you dismantle it from within, like you have done in many games prior. you know what your goal is from the moment you see that healthbar and you hook onto the conspicuously placed hookpoints that tell you- you will climb this machine; you will fight your way up to whatever its core is and you will kill it. you play through the entire level with this expectation and you get exactly this expectation. you destroy its core and it begins a countdown, and so very many games have countdowns before the collapse of whatever level you have just beaten, and you know exactly what you have to do.
i don't know. i love diegetic storytelling. i love this level.
it's just familiarity, i think. this level runs off familiarity. it gives you, the player, things and tropes and designs you are familiar with. it signals to you that you should know what to do, and it lets you do exactly what you expect to do.
if i were any more cheesy i could absolutely end this by restating something about the only way it could've ended, but uh. i am not that cheesy. this time.
aw crud now i don't know how to end this oh well goodbye then
#ultrakill#ultrakill spoilers#idk dude i just saw someone say like. 'when v1 saw the earthmover do you think it knew what to do in a way itd never experienced before'#and i was like 'hmmmm ultrakill is a game that justifies a LOT of its story decisions in gameplay'#'i sure wonder how this one mighta been conveyed to the player'#and then i experienced a category 5 autism event in one of my friends' dms. thanks pory youre a real one#for listening to my giant fucking ramble while i was walkin down from the train station LMFAO#......also fuck i hope no one has written this before i amso sorry if i am just rehashing someone elses already written thoughts fffffuck.

Dudeee I went to the Chima wiki to find info on the Mother Sun, right>? And ALL that informastion is just lumped into the main article for Chima, so NO article about the actual Sun itself right? Y'all TELL ME WHY THE WIKI IS JUMPING THROUGH LOOPHOLES TO DENY THAT CHIMA'S IN THE WYLDNESS...
GIRL not to be That Guy but why are you THIS angry about this shit...
#brother if anything this is. a good thing ???#chima literally gets to live on and even if it DOESNT get more sets or much focus on itself its like ok it still clearly has a lasting-#legacy#to be referenced like 10 years after it ended???#and to be included in a whole other show as canon???#also shit gets retconned in literally every single series ever dude fym 'set in stone chima lore' bro#it is not set in shit man.#yea the forever rock may have been destroyed but so what???#its never said ras VISITED that place he just knew of it#i doubt he ever heard it was destroyed#why?#because chima is a giant floating landmass like a hundred miles high or some shit#hed probably have heard legends of it#but never SEEN it#istfg theres only 2 chima fans i can rely on to be cool people and not be annoying as fuck.#hi lloyval shipper hi shrimp ! ur the only 2 i can count on tbh#ninjago#ninjago dragons rising#raine's rambles#i realized while writing this i got pissed as fuck too which is so funny#im making fun of ppl coping so hard#then im angrily complaing ab their bullshit#but then again i think i should be allowed to . as a treat.

I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3 trying to date the big cheerful tiefling lady, because obviously, but the vampire twink keeps flirting with me and everytime he does I end up so damn flustered I don't know what to do, and then I just finished up dealing with some evil goblin army and we had a big party at which both the vampire twink AND the goth girl cleric basically told me they wanted to jump my bones and holy shit never in all my experience of playing video games with dating elements has picking a love interest been this hard.
I mean I'm still going for Karlach, nothing's stopping me from climbing that mountain, I even got the vampire twink and the goth girl cleric to hook up so hopefully they'd turn their romantic intentions away from me, but shit dude, if the big tiefling woman wasn't here I don't know what would have happened.
#I'm not saying I was down to stake that vampire#But like#Everytime he says a flirty line at me I give out a girlish little gasp and have to fan myself just to do something with my hands#And angsty goth girl cleric would absolutely be my target if the giant teifling woman wasn't here#I'm generally pretty monogamous in video games but fuck dude

You know I realize I forgot to mention this before in the Crocodile Power Level Speculation Post/Ask (btw I did go back to edit it so it's actually legible and has a point now lmao)
I really wanna know if Croc has any new tricks with his hook
Like in Alabasta the dude had a poison hook under his regular hook, which was also hiding a tiny blade beneath it as well. This is all fine and dandy, absolutely iconic etc etc
And then we never see him reuse either feature again.
Now to be fair, the only other time we could've seen Crocodile use them would've been in Marineford, but the dude just escaped from prison. Although people are quick to meme about the Marines being 'kind enough' to let Crocodile keep his gigantic fucking hook in prison--
If we're being realistic here, they probably let him keep the base of the hook simply because without a hand any shackle would just slide off his wrist and fall off. Of course he wouldn't still be able to escape or anything since he'd still have the Seastone cuff on his right, but if they wanted to keep him properly shackled then letting him keep even just the hook base would just be the easiest option for the Marines.
It's the fact that the Marines went out of their way to retrieve his missing hook attachment and gave it back to him that's a bit wild
But let's keep in mind that Luffy did break the poison hook back in Alabasta. Even if the Marines let Croc keep the hook attachment, I find it extremely unlikely they would've gone out of their way to fix/replaced the poison hook when the guy's going to jail anyways. If anything it'd make far more sense if they got rid of whatever poison might've still been left in the base and confiscated the blade. Like there's an argument to be made for the Marines letting Crocodile keep his hook due to disability reasons, but the poison and the purely stabby weapon? Not so much
So really, it's very likely the reason Crocodile never used his other weapons in Marineford might've just been that he literally didn't have them on him at the time, just the basic hook
But hey, it's been two whole whooping years. That would be plenty of time for him to replace the broken hook and blade and get some new poison into the hook base too while he's at it
Or
Are there any new weapons Crocodile could've gotten inserted into his hook base that he could whip out
Like just because he could get a new poison hook it doesn't mean he has to get a poison hook, same for the blade as well, right
To be fair, dude feels very old fashioned so I'm not expecting any Inspector Gadget kinda tech from him. Like I don't think Crocodile's knowledgeable about stuff like that himself, at least not enough to install any technically advanced weaponry into the hook on his own, and IDK if he'd trust his hook with anyone to "upgrade it" either for an extended period of time either
But could you imagine if Croc had gotten access to a busted ass Pacifista and stole a laser and had it built into his hook base.
He just pulls of the hook and starts blasting people with the laser.
How fucking funny would that be. Franky eat your heart out
#Moon posting#OP Meta#Sir Crocodile#A machine gun inside his hook would also be funny as hell but. Dude can create giant sand blades what does he need a gun for#Honestly I think the coolest and unironically the most useful new hidden weapon Croc could potentially have in his hook base#Would be some kind of a Seastone weapon. Like a Seastone Hook or a blade or even just a stick like Smoker's#That shit would be so OP but also make him such a massive threat. Like much more than his poison hook ever did#It's just where the fuck would he even get a custom Seastone weapon to build in to his hook#Like it's the WG who hoards the shit for themselves so getting one would not be easy. Or cheap#Since you can't just make stuff out of Seastone yourself like you need specialists for it etc#But like I said. I think it'd be the coolest fucking thing he could possibly whip out#Aside from a Pacifista Beam but lmao that ain't happening as funny as it'd be#For the record yes it is possible Croc's hook isn't detachable at all#I just have to question how he ever changes clothes if he can't even take the hook off#Also for the record. Croc's hook could've been treated the same way his clothes were treated in Impel Down#Like Oda totally could've just drawn him without the hook and then just told us in the SBS the Newkama had stolen it from the guards#And returned it to Crocodile after he escaped since he could use it etc. While he got some fresh clothes to wear etc#Like that totally could've been an off-screen thing that could've happened. But if it was something that unimportant then why even bother#He might as well keep the hook for the brief scene in the jail cell because it doesn't actually matter for the narrative

I have just witnessed a eight or so year old boy devour a slice of watermelon in the most revolting way possible. This child does not fear god or death or anything of the sort
#he laid it on the dirty ass picnic table for ten minutes then finally picked it up#just to lick it like one of those giant lollipops#and scoop into it with his tongue until it was like half the thickness#then he started eating the rind#he saved what remained of the actually edible part for last#like this table has moss and shit growing on it its so bad. and its one of those grated metal ones.#and dirt all over and cobwebs#and it all got on that skice of watermelon. dude just devoured fucking brain eating amoebas#i hate being a camp counselor sometimes that was so nasty

i’m on my third rewatch of tristamp and HUNGRY! (ep4) as an episode is so so special to me. i love it so much.
first of all if you know me in any capacity you’ll understand that i am so. ack. about the inclusion of vash’s food issues as a part of the episode’s arc and not just a one-off line. we see it again in ep8. both times he refuses to eat after a disaster that nai caused (but he blames himself for). but! in episode 8 he only eats again after saving lives/proving himself useful, whereas in episode 4 he eats because wolfwood said he deserves to. indirectly. he doesn’t save anyone. he tries! he’s doing his best! but in the end it’s wolfwood who does all the work. and vash still eats. ack
but yeah i fully believe that comment to zazie, “no matter how heavy the cross is you carry, you deserve to eat. and to laugh!” is why vash later said wolfwood has “the eyes of a good guy.”
(and hey, i do think there’s some significance to him defending wolfwood specifically in the context of wolfwood offering vash food and roberto accusing him of poisoning it. just saying.)
first, the way wolfwood phrases that (especially since right before, he said to zazie “i’m like you”) makes it seem like he knows what it is to carry a (metaphorical) cross, and to feel like you don’t deserve things. so vash feels a kinship with him and admires that he’s apparently overcome that and is trying to help zazie do the same.
(now, we find out later that wolfwood already knows zazie, but i’m working with the assumption that he didn’t realize it was her yet. correct me if im wrong on that. if i am wrong i’ll be sad bc i’ll have to reevaluate a lot :(()
second, it definitely matches up with things rem and luida said about food, which boils down to “whether you choose to eat it or not it still matters that you get it, that you have that choice.” which, uh. we’re gonna unpack my own feelings on that at a later time, possibly never. but that definitely would help vash to see wolfwood as trustworthy/good.
to be clear, vash isn’t naive. from their limited interactions he can see wolfwood has some darkness to him, and he can see that he’s used to being disliked, distrusted. he doesn’t bat an eye at meryl and roberto questioning him, but he does react to vash calling him good. vash has had 150+ years to get good at reading people. wolfwood even calls him out about turning his back multiple times, calling him stupid, but rhen he proves vash right by not hurting him.
of course, there’s another layer to the whole eating thing, which is that vash might not need to eat? it’s implied that he likes food/eating in flashbacks, and we learn later that he isn’t a defective plant, he can generate things (in a way), so it would follow that he doesn’t need food??
which might seem, initially, like it lessens the impact of his disordered eating. but it doesn’t. first of all, it’s still a thing vash takes pleasure in, which he has very little of, so denying himself food as punishment is still Very Bad. but also…it’s kind of the only effective form of self-harm he has. he heals quickly and has an insane pain tolerance, and he has literally nothing to lose because he doesn’t have anything/anyone to start with. maybe he won’t starve, but that’s not the point.
#trigun stampede#trigun stampede spoilers#tristamp#vash the stampede#tw ed descussion#wren wrambles#yall dont even know how much it fuckin meant to me when they had vash eat at the end of the episode#and it wasnt a big deal but Attention Was Called#its a thing!! it’s important!! fuck!!#vash and i have very different issues but shit dude#and then in episode 8…..yeah it just i have Feelings#HUNGRY! is my favorite episode for reasons other than this#namely we meet wolfwood and zazie#who i love dearly#and we spend most of the episode IN A GIANT SAND WORM which is so fun and cool#but yeah this is also a big reason#also i think the title is silly
