#it's really a fun and interesting game

[troblsomtwins829]

yo, i'm dead. this game just loves big bursts of action followed by a nice long grind session. I just wanna make my car all electric and you can't even give me ten minutes to process the insanely huge facilities i'm DRIVING through?! I AM DRIVING THROUGH YOUR STATE-OF-THE ART SCIENCE FACILITY IN MY TRASHY STATION WAGON WITH TWO FLAT TIRES AND NO FRONT BUMPER, AND ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IS YOUR DATA?!

How envious I am, that you remain safe in your labs, hidden from the dangers of the exclusion zone, while I sit here in waist-high radiation harvesting snails for my supper.

still i think the one of the more fun differences drawn between illario and lucanis that was lost would be illario's ability to endear himself to others but serious lack of empathy, vs. lucanis' (self perceived) inability to be charming but how much he cares. it's interesting that the game has gone with the "lucanis' ability vs illario's lack thereof" because i think illario being the dellamorte 'best in show dog' vs. lucanis' attack dog would have made me so unwell.

lucanis is... awkward. he's not unlikable, because he is usually very polite, but he doesn't speak much and only seems to care about the other dellamortes. he once sent viago de riva a knife with no note (who knows what he could have meant by this). he does what caterina asks of him, and by his own admission, cannot say no to her. he is a dramatic and prolific killer, and that makes how untouchable he is even worse.

and the crows like illario, sure, AND he's a good assassin! he's even a good crow! he's so good that he can make lucanis smile, and so he is the charming, sociable one. he's the one that stays in treviso and can be relied upon to care, illario's even the one people prefer over caterina and lucanis!

but illario is decoration. he's the prize poodle, and even if poodles were bred to be working dogs, nobody will ever pick him to protect the house over the german shepherd that regularly mauls intruders. anyways the analogy is getting away from me. the point i'm trying to make is that i want illario to have a different kind of jealousy/hatred that's not just over 'being bad at killing' but also an arrogant loathing for everyone around him that is getting harder to hide, because they've forgotten he can bite and is just itching to rip someone's jugular out. illario is very good at hiding his family resemblance to caterina, while lucanis suffers under his grandmother's, and his own, reputation.

nate's theme 4.0 came up on my playlist while I was working on commissions and oh boy. that piano line about a minute in to it still gets me emotional shshdshs

[soup-mother]

you tell someone you're not into vampires or vampire media and they go "ah werewolves then" because there's some twilight induced pirates vs ninjas shit happening inside their brain and "I actually like other things that aren't either of those" isn't a valid option

Undertale: 17

(Directly related to the Undertale: 3 post)

This Amalgamate is made of 17 monsters

Entry Seventeen (17)

17 Monsters in Snowdin (Papyrus is the 17th)

When you're at 3 HP or less, the Bad Memory heals you. So it'll heal you if you're -17 HP.

The only monster with 17 in its stats

-17

On Papyrus's 17th attack (this line) his attacks will be random (His is the only battle that does this, I checked them all. Asgore's battle becomes random after 20 turns)

Was reading you Veilguard misogyny post and god. God. It really strikes me just how wide the quality gap is between the Veilguard ladies and the women of Inquisition. Muscular, scarred, thick-accented and short haired Cassandra with conservative views... Sera with her bad (affectionate) hair she obviously cut herself, obnoxious (affectionate) accent, and very radical views... cold and cunning Vivienne with all her pragmatism that still cares deeply and, in making the best of a broken system, has come to cling to it with views even more conservative than the non-mage yet somehow also radical... I don't think I even need to go over all the ways Leliana differs from the women of the Veilguard... and Josephine, who, yes, is very sweet and values peaceful resolutions—but is still willing to destroy reputations and marriages and is, at the end of the day, a politician and businesswoman.

And then there's the Veilguard ladies. I suppose Neve is a bit cutthroat...? In her "bad" ending, at least? Harding isn't even allowed to be mad.

It's hard to believe that these games are from the same series, let alone one coming directly after the other. What a nosedive.

YEAH 😭

i don't know what happened to them, bc it genuinely feels like... they took character design "feedback" from the types of really annoying men who were like "cassandra has a Masculine Skull™️and is too rude to me. i demand that she has long hair and a prettier face in the next patch"

i truly love cassandra in dai, partially bc i saw this really neat process breakdown from the artist who made her design?

and like!! every part of her face, her armour, her haircut, it all gives the impression of "this is a very direct, aggressive, decisive type of person" which works great! you can look at any of the dai companions or advisors and get that same amount of immediate information just from their look. i love how sera and vivienne's designs immediately tell you so much about both their personalities, and their relative amounts of wealth in society.

but then in veilguard there's.... polite morrigan i guess? harding gets SO much more socially awkward than she was in dai, and has trouble even telling someone she doesn't like coffee? isabela's Cursed Orientalism Outfit? bg3 mystra mythal? no reckonings or anything for flemeth, she Just Dies Offscreen for solas' emotional development? none of the female companions are allowed to have short hair or slightly unconventional features or unkempt outfits? we need to support women's wrongs again 😔

i feel insane bc i have a lot of fun with taking things and making them darker and edgier but like there are rules to it. there are specific things i like and don’t like. it’s compelling when you take parts of the original that are only implied or lightly touched upon, yet are very much present and important, and expand on those. that’s transformative and delicious and very much called for. it’s boring and tacky when you dump a bunch of blood and death and evil onto something that was perfectly innocent and straightforward and didn’t need to be anything else especially if the original thing didn’t even have much of a narrative so to speak

[turtleblogatlast]

Small but significant character moments that I actually really adore are from both the times we see the boys as tots. There is a reoccurrence that happens in both of them that I find so incredibly interesting.

For the turtle tot short, Splinter leaves the boys with weapons. In the short, Raph is the one who suggests they do ���what Lou Jitsu would do” and Leo is the one who takes point when Splinter comes back to reprimand them. Leo, in taking point, is the one to defend them and get Splinter off their tails.

And then, in the flashback regarding the Kuroi Yōroi helmet, Raph is the one who grabs and throws “Skully” as a way to replace their missing ball which breaks it into pieces, but Leo is the one who speaks for the group and rushes into action to fix the teapot.

I love this for multiple reasons, but the biggest are how it shows that Raph has always been inclined toward the bold and fun and making the plans to include his brothers in what he loves and believes they’d love, whereas Leo has always been inclined to be the “Face” of the group and shoulder the attention even if it’s potentially negative all while coming up with on the spot attempts to fix the situation.

"so what did you do this summer?"

i. uh. I recreated the ending cutscene of half life alyx as a visual novel in ren'py ....

it was a really cool project through! I learned a lot and am really proud of the result! I even made the G-Man sprites in S2FM (by playing his in-game animations frame by frame and rendering some stills I liked haha)

here's some screeshots!
