video games....
#mine#i love my steam deck sooooooooo much im so happy i can actually play games again like a big proper library of them#and everything#everything on steam AND emulators is available to me. do you know how many games that is!#i started a new beegee3 playthrough on the HARDEST DIFFICULTY (!) today. which is also a single-save difficulty#and im in one of the most difficult parts of the game right now (level 4) and kind of nervous lol#but at the same time im really proud of myself for learning the game to the point i feel comfortable challenging myself in it#and im happy i get to at all :D i love you video games#and sooner or later ill come back to stardew valley cause there was that big update and i have some games on my wishlist too#and its not verified yet but i might play that pomeranian making the house dirty game cause it looked cute#oh and yakuza also because my friend got two of the yakuzas for me#YAYYYYY GAMES#also kind of sad though because tomorrow i pack and sunday i go back for babys last quarter of college#and im worried about how busy its going to be with classes and job apps and then of course actually graduating#and moving out and haivng a job and stuff#when all i want is to enjoy being able to play video games again.... sig#sigh*#WHATEVER...future mes problem#oh i almost forgot...one of the best parts of the deck imo is the versatility because with games like beegee3#you can play it in controller mode which has its pros and cons but you can also swap to computer mode#which also has its pros and cons so like. i can adjust as needed#when im just exploring or trying to loot an area etc i go controller#but when im in combat i go computer because the hotbar is REALLY helpful for decision making#its really nice to have the option to choose since no console players have that it seems#and the only pc players who can do that are the ones who have and are willing to connect controllers#and most of them dont seem to be into that#but im really glad to be able to do both#ok done yapping now

Shook's Weekly OCs: #005
Tumblr media
The first of the (many) Taianaverse characters, Saino! Now with a 'new' design that is just. A mish-mash of a bunch of au designs I'll probably never use again and his original one-
But hey, I like it so who cares! Onto the facts:
He's the youngest one of the three Dracheilig siblings by a technicality, since him and Taiana are twins (he's just like. a minute younger-).
He's a dragon, and his elemental affinity is that of nature (tl;dr, all dragons in this universe have an affinity for some sort of element, which get more abstract the more powerful they are).
He also has innate healing abilities (which includes the ability to heal others), and can regenerate his own limbs if need be.
He's usually very sweet and kind, but definitely does sometimes pull pranks on or mess with people he's close to.
He thinks his sister is the coolest, and often helps her with her knight work; He also thinks his brother is the coolest, but also thinks he works too much and finds subtle ways to make him take breaks.
He's always been close to his mother, and learned archery from her.
He is just. A silly little guy! A quiet silly little guy!! A lot of the fun with Saino is how he interacts with others, but like even without that, he just a little plant dragon man, what isn't to love?
...and yeah, im two days late but. essay :']

imma write down some quick thoughts on narratives as living things real quick
Deltarune has got itself a really healthy narrative, alright? It's thriving, its guiding the path in the background, tangible yet invisible. It's the ferris wheel scene for Noelle and Susie -- a convenient set-up marks the deft hand of fate moving to direct the pieces and roles into their correct places, narrative framing, art. Its vigor is its emotion, the satisfaction one feels and it fuels within a desire to live and experience with it. You can feel it within every sequence, the warmth of a song for you.
And then you got the narrative in something like Devil May Cry 5. This narrative is rotting, full decay. The characters must play roles that don't fit them, it's oozing and slippery and they fall into patterns, moving further along with no ability stop what is mundane now. It's later seasons of sitcoms, stories repeating again and again except that it's not a cycle, it's a spiral, and it's been spoiling this entire time. Why do Dante and Vergil have to fight? It's because they're the protagonist and antagonist of an action game that refuses to ever let them die because it has one story it wants to tell. As the narrative dies they corrode with it, continuing to play out their roles and awaiting to be fossilized in them.
so like, games where the narrative is a living, breathing thing am i right?

(if this is too discoursy for you please delete this ask, i don't mind)
I think the biggest problem with c!Tubbo killing c!Aimsey is that it felt very forced. Like, tubbo definitely has people he considers safe to be angry at. It was Tommy during new l'manburg, and it's Wilbur now, but that list stretching to someone he barely knows seems very far-fetched, since the only reason he feels safe enough to be angry at those people is that he knew that their retaliation. if there even is one, won't end up hurting him. The fight with aimsy felt very sporadic and not very well thought out from c!tubbo's end, which is pretty unlike him
^ This is an amazing point as to why it feels strange, and there are several other reasons I don't love it as well.
So the first thing that jumps out to me is that right out the gate, this is so far from logic-brain it's insane to me. c!Tubbo has always thought very objectively and logically about conflict, even and especially when his own life was on the line.
The one exception to this is conflict where c!Ranboo is involved, because he has a tendency to excuse c!Ranboo's actions even if he has evidence that c!Ranboo is probably at fault (such as his investigation of c!Tommy's prison death, he refused believe c!Ranboo was responsible even though evidence pointed to him.)
^ But the keyword about that is probably. If you remember, he didn't let c!Ranboo off the hook for betraying him during New L'Manberg, and that's because he had Hard Evidence that c!Ranboo was a traitor. The Prison Death was mostly his own speculation as far as he could tell, but with the NLM betrayal, he had it in writing.
This c!Aimsey conflict is one where he has Hard Evidence that c!Ranboo (or really Ghostboo) is at fault. c!Tubbo knows this new person has no reason to lie, and believes c!Aimsey that Ghostboo gave up the mansion. So... If he is aware that this conflict is essentially just "Ghostboo gave this new person our mansion without asking me", how do we get to a canon death from that ??? Where is his logic-brain?
Because (and this is my second point) for a long time now, c!Tubbo's character has hinged on not wanting conflict. Him exiling c!Tommy, Doomsday happening, him barely fighting his own death in the disc finale, him saving the horse in ho16... The only reason he went after c!Sam when c!Ranboo died was to get his son back, and he did lock c!Sam in the prison but he didn't kill him, something c!Tubbo had every right to do.
C!Tubbo doesn't handle conflict through violence. He never, ever has, even when things got hard. And I know that characters are supposed to evolve and change, but watching him not (technically) raise a hand against the man who killed his husband and kidnapped his son, only to kill a random person he just met right afterwards just seems so anticlimactic.
And the argument I guess could be made that it's supposed to be anticlimactic, but either way there is just no buildup to it at all imo. Maybe if he had been more cruel to c!Sam in the revengers stream, it would be showing us that he is gradually losing his kindness and humanity, but as it stands him killing c!Aimsey is completely out of nowhere for his character, because yes it's easy to assume this is a side effect of him grieving a dead loved one Yet Again but we haven't actually been given much reason to think that.
Even if the death was an accident, as in he meant to duel not to kill, I still have a hard time believing it's in character. You're telling me the person who watched his best friend in the world get a life taken in a duel over a sentimental item right after he joined... Would do that to another person? c!Tubbo, who is always comparing himself to the bad people in his life, somehow wouldn't see that he was doing something that directly parallels what c!Dream did to c!Tommy once? Or he would see and he'd be okay with it?
I'm not saying that c!Tubbo wouldn't kill someone, and to be clear, that isn't the reason I dislike this plotline. I'm not confused that he'd be violent or kill someone, I'm confused because he's been in dozens of situations where he has more than every right to be violent, and hasn't taken the violent route. So it's weird and jarring for him to suddenly act to violent to an innocent, especially right after ho16 drove home the point that c!Tubbo wants to protect innocents.
This of course is all compounded by the fact that as far as I've heard, that death was canonized by Aimsey after the fact, and that Tubbo didn't know it was a canon death. This is not Aimsey neg, and I may make another post about this, but as of late c!Tubbo's character has been dictated a lot by metagaming/questionable rp etiquette. And if cc!Tubbo is fine with that then it's fine, I'm not saying that any ccs are Bad or Ruining the character or anything like that. I just think the fact that he never intended for it to be a canon death in the first place speaks a lot to how in-character it seems.
Also, before I wrap up, I promise I have seen many many many explanations for why this makes sense in-character. Personally I like the explanation that he was trying to toughen c!Aimsey up so they'd keep up their guard. c!Tubbo has every reason to dislike newcomer's at first, because historically speaking they don't really bother to learn their history and often jump to defend the man that wants c!Tubbo dead. So the explanation that he'd duel c!Aimsey as a way of saying "Look, here's what happens on this server when you take something of someone's. They won't all be as nice as me, this is your test round," does make sense.
The only thing for me is that all of those explanations feel a lot like the fan explanations of why c!Tubbo didn't know his own son was missing - it's the fans trying to explain away a plot hole/mischaracterization caused by people canonizing things without putting in thought to how every character is affected by it.
This is just my opinion on all of this, if you like this plotline and think it makes perfect sense that is completely fine. I am not trying to say this plotline isn't canon, that it shouldn't be canon, or anything like that. The only thing I'm trying to express is that I'm personally not a huge fan of it, and thought it felt off for his character, but everyone is entitled to feel however they like about it 👍
(Also, this is not crit of any ccs. Just because I don't like a writing decision that does not mean the ccs aren't well within their rights to make that decision, these are their characters not mine. However I will be tagging character crit and the word "negativity" just so people can filter things like this out.)

extremely skeptical that sanderson is going anywhere meaningful with the division of gender roles in the stormlight archive bc so far they are incredibly arbitrary and seem to betray a lack of understanding of how real world patriarchy functions as a system

Welcome back to the Chill Valicer Save Honeymoon trip! We have reached Fall Monday, where, as you can see, it started fucking raining again. -.- I really did pick the absolute worst time of year for them to have their honeymoon in Sulani, didn't I?
Well, nothing to do but suck it up and try to make the best of things, at least for a little while! Smiler kept up their new foray into base game social media nonsense, checking through their timeline, while Victor and Alice had a little slow dance in the kitchen after waking up from their snooze. :) I decided Smiler should get in on this cuteness and had them get up to give Victor a nice embrace from behind -- haven't done that in a while! Victor and Alice then decamped to the living room, where, after a bit more flirting, Victor took a picture of Alice scratching herself as her werewolf instincts took over and painted it on his digital sketchpad. XD Look, I wanted him to do a portrait of her and accidentally clicked "paint from reference" at precisely the wrong moment, okay? :p Anyway, he finished that up and moved onto practicing some Untamed magic (almost immediately learning the "Dedeathify" spell that allows you to resurrect ghosts, nice), while Alice, starting to feel a bit of the Fury from said werewolf instincts, went to go calm herself down in the bedroom mirror before taking a nap on the floor --
And Smiler, of course, went outside and started showering in the rain. *sigh* Though, at least this time they did actually need the bath, so I let them finish up before directing them to do something a little more wholesome -- start another puzzle! A 250-piecer sci-fi "alien party"-themed one! Felt like that would kill a good amount of time!
They sat down to start still naked. *facepalm* Right, yes, Sims don't always immediately change back into their clothes when they shower in the rain... I corrected this situation, putting them in their Smiler hoodie outfit as it was actually a touch chilly outside, then -- once Alice woke up and got properly dressed herself -- sent her outside to help while I had Victor buy and read "Broomies," one of the new books that came with Realm Of Magic, so he could try and get some Spellcaster XP out of it. That didn't really seem to give him much, though, so I decided "hell with it, puzzling is a group activity with this lot" and sent him out to help as well. They all had a lovely time assembling the puzzle together (which appears to be of an alien with two lovely alien ladies on their arms), and Smiler even managed to get Logic level 5 out of it! Good for you, Smiler! :)

i hope this doesn’t sound stupid but have you (and corey) tried ear plugs? i have some pretty decent noise canceling ones. i’m sorry you’ve been dealing with this for so long :(
considering the music is loud enough that corey's noise cancelling headphones don't block it out i'm not sure earphones would work but thank you skdhsjhk
the other issue is that most of the time, corey and i have to be up early in the mornings for work / class, so if we have earplugs, we can't hear our alarms 🙃 there's no way to win

I've been running Kaeya and Diluc together for nearly 2 years, and I like to think their builds are pretty good. Team comps and rotations are just as important for good damage as character builds are (eg, with a good team set up, my Kaeya hits for 60k. With a bad one, he hits for 10k at most)
If you have him, Bennett is an excellent team mate for Kaeya and Diluc. If not, Barbra with thrilling tales of dragon slayers works.
As for the 4th slot, this one's pretty flexible. An anemo character like Sucrose or kazuha is best. Another cryo character like rosaria is also an option, especially when trying to boost Diluc's damage. Another pyro character like xiangling would work to boost Kaeya's damage. Sucrose is the best f2p friendly option here though.
When it comes to rotations, if Diluc is the one triggering melt he's gonna be doing the most damage. If Kaeya is triggering melt he's the one doing the damage.
Diluc's build is really straightforward. 4 piece crimson witch is basically always best (the set was designed for him). He wants crit, atk% and EM. An atk%, crit or em claymore will be good on him (although crit claymores are hard to come by f2p)
Kaeya's build is more complicated. One of his strengths is how flexible he is as a character. But that makes it more difficult to find out the best way to build him for how you use him.
Burst DPS - melt: 4 piece emblem of severed fate or 2piece blizzard and 2piece nobeless. He needs crit, Energy recharge, EM and atk%.
Burst DPS - freeze: 4 piece blizzard. He needs far less crit rate with this build, especially if you have any constalations. He needs crit DMG, energy recharge and atk%
Sub-DPS/cryo applicator - his personal damage is less important here. He just needs enough ER to get his burst back consistently. Artifact set is also less important, but 4 piece embalem would probably be best.
Physical DPS - 2 piece bloodstained and 2 piece pale flame. Or 2 piece Phys set (like pale flame) and 2 piece atk set (like gladiators final). Or (weirdly) 4 piece blizzard. If running with blizzard, he only really needs crit DMG and atk%. If using another set combination, he needs crit rate and crit DMG as well as atk%
Atk% weapons are the best bet for Kaeya as a f2p. EM may work better for a melt Kaeya, and if you have any crit swords then it makes it easier to balance crit ratios. But 5* weapons are not needed, and weapons banner is a scam.
Anyway this was really long. I'm a bit of a try hard when it comes to character building and combat lmao.
okay this is a lot of info im gonna save this for future reference.
i got bennet recently! i have him c2 i think? i haven't gotten around to building him though. i think he's still lvl 1 actually. as for barbara i have her on my team for healing and hydro support so i can freeze the enemies,, my 3rd slot (barbara is 4th lmao) is kujou sara because i wanted a bow character. even though im aware anemo would be a good choice here augh,,,,,,,,,, and rosaria! i had her on my team for a while but switched her out because i just. needed to shoot things sometimes? and wanted more elemental reactions i guess idk the thought process and i was low ar (not like im super smarter now but.. good excuse nonetheless)
+ i have a phys dmg % sword on kaeya and it works i think but i like throwing ice not just stabbing people</3 i want to give him one with the stats u said but it'll take soooo long for me to get my hands on one.

are you pulling for anyone in the next few genshin patches? and do you think it’s feasible to get alhaitham, hu tao, dehya and kaveh and somehow still have some primos left for fontaine characters? 🥲
yeah babe if you swipe 💀
im pulling for hu tao cons, been saving up. used about half my pulls since i went for engulfing but am back around 300 wishes for hu tao and so i'm hoping to get her to at least C3 or C4 if i'm lucky with some early 5 stars. I currently have her at C1. i will probably then start saving for a Alhaitham rerun honestly + I also want Kaveh lol. I think Kaveh won't be for a while so you probs will have enough pulls scrounged up to get a copy.
also if you already don't have a good pyro dps (or haven't built xiangling or just don't like her) maybe resign yourself to pick hu tao or dehya right now! im not sure if dehya has any leaks, but if you're meh on hu tao and think you might like dehya more i would skip. you don't need two pyro chars that soon save urself the pain of farming all that too.
AND BABE DONT WORRY ABOUT FONTAINE LMAO!!! We are SO far from fontaine don't even worry about saving for them rn. Its January 😳 im sure even if you pulled for all of those characters and ended with 0 primos you would have literally hundreds of wishes saved by the time fontaine comes out if you theoretically never pulled until then (which...would be epic of you ngl)
