visually impaired gaming

"how are you doing that so fast?! You can see that?!"

my morher asked me this a while back, while i was claiming dailies on Elnea Kingdom. She was surprised because normally i work at a snail's pace when Googling and such, because the screen has to be very close to my face for me to see it and i can only actually look at half the screen in focus.

The thing was i memorized my game dailies.

as long as i know whwre i am on the screen, i can leave my lhone at a normal distance from my face while i claim things. The claim system for Elnea Kingdom hasn't changed in years and i've played sk many hours that i memorized the buttons. i trained myself to have a fast memory. This is why i suck at real time games like Genshin but i can keep up on Honkai Star Rail. I can't judge real time action because i can't see what's happening, but i don't need to aim March 7th's bow to land a shot on the enemy. I just click buttons that never move.

i memorize my keyboards, i still hate my iphone one because the keys are just a bit too small. I memorize which icon colors belong to what and i memorize url shortcuts. I memorize where the apps are on my phone. And i scream when HSR switched where the servers are in the main menu and i accidently log into the Taiwan server instead of the Europe server. I memorize which character icons go for what character so i can just look for black hair or red hair facing left or whatever.

and that, folks, is why i only ever play strategy and minecraft.

edit: "bvosually impaired" well my phone spelling's 10/10....

The Reluctant Victor, inspired by The Reluctant Bride by Auguste Toulmouche - I just thought that this painting was SO perfect for Katniss and I had to draw it!

Deltarune theory that I need people to think about for a moment.

Monsters don't bleed.

You can probably figure out where this is going yourself, but if you want to hear my thoughts and evidence, it's all going under the cut.

Monsters don't bleed. We're reminded of this at the start of and throughout Chapter 4, through interaction with the bunny kid when you knock their door, and the funeral book about monsters turning into dust.

Conversely Susie has expressed a lack of understanding about this concept, implying she's bled before and doesn't find it weird. Implying she's used to a culture where blood is normal...

...but not dust? She didn't seem to put the pieces together that the dust in the 'snowglobe' (horrific implications btw) could be Gerson's body until Kris pointed it out to her. After which point she reacted with horror, as if she hadn't expected it, or didn't know that's how it worked?

Let's think about Susie for a moment. What do we know about Susie, now?

We know she bleeds. They made a point of showing it even though Kris bleeds in the same chapter and it's not visibly shown. We know she's considered a brute, more monsterish than those around her. She lays into this fact, playing it up. We know she had a rocky childhood. She's moved houses multiple times in the past. She's given up on trying to make friends.

She doesn't have a tail (or at least, her tail is a nub), and she feels embarrassed about that fact. When equiped with the jevil's tail, she'll say "figured I'd grow one eventually."

Kris used to wear a horn headband in the hopes they'd grow horns like their family, eventually. When Susie sees a picture of them with the headband, she quietens uncomfortably once she realises why.

Susie HATED Kris's guts, even before chapter 1. (From the spamton sweepstakes:)

Whatever they said made her back off and leave. I think she saw herself in them. The outcast. The odd one out in a town full of something else. Something that can't be understood. Is it any wonder she changed her tune when she found out Kris was not her enemy, but understood her? That Kris would leap to defend her, instead? That she thought, surely, this kid hates me for what I am just as much as I hate them for what they are? They don't hate me? They don't think I'm disgusting, a freak of nature, better off abandoned?

Why have we never seen her parents?

Why is it that, when we look away from Kris, we can only imagine "what Susie is up to"? Why no one else? Why can we see her, but not exert enough control to impact what she does? Why is our soul able to fight on her behalf without Kris's involvement? Why does she seem to exert control over the story even when it's clearly trying to be bent in favour of the player's decisions?

Monsters don't bleed.

Susie is a hybrid.
