thinking about buck and all the stories he tells about himself and his relationships (buck 1.0, buck 2.0, 'i don't wanna be that guy anymore,'), his resistance to admitting he's in love with eddie and his persistent fears over being left alone. SOOOO many times he gets with people or stays with people because he likes the story he can tell himself about their relationship. he likes being with abby bc he likes being a different, more grown-up buck. he likes being with taylor bc he likes trying hard and making a relationship work, growing together, sticking with it. he likes being with tommy bc he likes learning something new about himself ('i think one of the reasons that i am so comfortable with you is because you're so comfortable with you'). he likes the story tommy lets him tells about himself, about jumping into being bisexual and dating a man with both feet and skip over all of his own uncertainty and insecurity around doing something new, around what might mean for him. and with eddie - buck /hates/ that story. 'as much as everyone seems to want me to be hopelessly pining for my straight best friend' - he is soo certain that that route is going to be misery from start to finish, because eddie's straight! because buck's not! because there's only one way that story ends, and it's in heartbreak and unhappiness for buck! that he's not even thinking about what he actually /feels/. he doesn't like the story that (he thinks) everyone is telling about him and eddie, so he thinks he can opt out. he thinks knowing yourself enough to see heartbreak coming means you can just step to the side and avoid it. and that's the lesson he's going to have to learn!!

A part of the response to Duskbloods is interesting. Like not even the manner of exclusives—a completely valid gripe—but just how much vitriol held for multi-player games as a concept. It's fine to be disappointed or think that it's not for you, but the way people talk about multi-player as a concept makes it seem like their own perception of multi-player as a platform is exclusively for sweaty tryhards who will send death threats and call you slurs. Constantly fighting against MMR and being branded as a "Guy who's shit" from your lack of skill.

While it's certainly not identical to single player games, it's also not nearly a big of a deal as many make it out to be. Especially for less competitive games. Maybe it's cause my big two main games atm is Warframe and Monster Hunter, but the vibes of both are less actively clashing with others and more working on your own thing in the same room. You and the others have your own goals, but periodically, you'll meet someone else going on their own journey. It's less group project and more sharing public transport. Everyone drops in and out at their own pace but you don't really need to fret about what the others think of you for being there. Or, at least, you shouldn't fret about what others think. There will be assholes on the bus on occasion, but there will also be little moments of serendipity. Charming encounters that will stick with you.

I use both Warframe and Monster Hunter as an example because while they both are exclusively cooperative games, my perception of them is less "Multiplayer" and more "Singleplayer with others." Parallel play, to use more fancy terms.

While Duskbloods certainly is a departure from the other for having an emphasis on PvPvE, distinct from my other examples—as information has been coming out about it, it sounds like "PvP" aspect is... not overblown, but oversimplified. Miyazaki himself mentioned not being a multiplayer guy but wanting to explore things you can't get out of singleplayer. Specifically the briefly mentioned "role" system. Because by the sound of it it's less "competitive" and more "uncooperative."

Unlike similar "Free for all games," players don't share the same goals. You don't go in expecting to kill everyone, but instead are given a task that intersect with other players and their own objectives. Sometimes it involves opposition like having a mark or killing everyone, but other times, it seems that your objective is supportive or even completely detached from the other players. Maybe you have to protect someone, maybe you just need to get in, find a certain non-player enemy, or maybe something irrelevant to life and death entirely. From the sound of it, the game's core concept is finding a way to produce drama and politics and complex webs of relationships between players.

Person A needs to kill person B, but they're being watched over by person C, and person B doesn't need to kill person A back because instead they're needing to track down this boss. Same with person D, but killing B isn't critical and they can even cooperate, but, there's a separate Person E who needs to kill at least 3 others—doesn't matter who, which might lead to them helping Person B fend off A or help A track down B. That's not even mentioning Persons F through H, who may have their own issues. In a sense, it's applying the core of Social Deduction like Mafia or Among Us to more action based games and trying to produce emergent drama and dynamics to tell a story not through writing but gameplay.

And frankly. That's far more interesting than "Battle Royale Soulslike." Its trying to make roleplay truly multiplayer sans-NPCs. It also sounds like the core loop is more Hades-esque where progression isn't locked behind success but instead any outcome leads to developing situations, and you might be able to have some say in what tasks will be given to you.

Even if none of this sounds the slightest bit interesting to, that's fair, but I do think it's a bit reductive to chalk things up to trend chasing or being the new Fortnite. Not even mentioning that if you really want to you probably could trick yourself into believe they're really advanced NPCs.

PSA for anyone that uses Photoshop Elements for CC-making and was thinking of upgrading— from Elements 2025 onwards, licenses are no longer perpetual, being replaced by three-year licenses instead.

For a paid alternative, I highly recommend Affinity Photo (currently 50% off for Black Friday– £33.99 in the UK).

Affinity was acquired earlier this year by Canva, so there's every chance it will move to a subscription itself in the future, but I always cursed myself for never getting CS6 back in the day (hence why I'm making this post! xD).

Of course, there's also the free, open-source alternatives Krita and GIMP- the latter of which is currently testing what may become version 3.0.

(Whilst I'm on the subject I might as well also mention 3D Coat Textura– Pilgway usually has a Black Friday sale too, but it's a bit pricier and more of a niche program than the ones listed above.)

Are you delulu

Or are you literally disabled (schizospec) writing the feistiest (yet professional) Karen email to a company in requesting a refund for repeatedly poor online service that unfairly affects disabled customers, whilst also secretly plotting to eventually ask them to commission you to make favourable art about them (provided they resolve the issues) as a disabled artist delusional

Girl we are NOT the same. STOP using the word delulu if you have never experienced delusions

hope this helps ✨
