games on gamepass

games I've been playing on gamepass and my review of them:

1) Blue Prince: Does god hate you and want you to suffer? does RNG-Jesus hate your guts? then this game is for you. I love it. I hate it. It's a roguelike puzzle deckbuilder made specifically to infuriate me. Day 1 will have you go "this is pretty neat. It reminds me of betrayal on the house on the hill." Day 74 will have you going "Simon, we gotta overthrow the government" while threatening to throw your controller at the screen.

2) Clair Obscur: Expedition 33: Absolutely game of the year for 2025 unless something really surprises me. It's just not my game of the year. JRPG but made the french. Beautiful, stunning, will make you cry. My reflexes are not good enough for this game.

3) Oblivion: Man I miss 2006. What a simpler time.

4) Avowed: It's a decent RPG! It isn't mind-blowing or anything but I don't need every game I play to rock my socks off. Sometimes it's nice to just have a simple lil' game that goes "hey, do you want a sword? Do you want your buddy Garrus from Mass Effect to play swords with you?" Yeah you do. Go have fun, buddy.

5) Atomfall I am not very far into this game. So far I've learned that I am a small British man armed with a cricket bat and a shotgun, neither of which I know how to use, but that's everyone else's problem, not mine.

6) Starfield: Uninstalled for the crime of being boring as fuck.

The biggest compliment I can give Gustav Clair Obscur is that the man has big sad wet eyes, and massive Fjord Stone energy.

I want to talk to people about Blue Prince.

But I don't want spoilers for Blue Prince.

Because everyone's experience with Blue Prince is different.

But oh man, I wanna talk about this game.

how I think it happens

if I could draw I'd make a comic, but I can't, so you have to use your imagination:

*post canon, in a cottage in a small village far from Piltover or Zaun. It is a holiday celebration of some sort, and we see Jayce and Viktor socializing with several other villagers, making polite small talk.*

Some woman: "Oh, Viktor, will you hold the baby just for a moment?"

Viktor: "Oh, I don't--"

*but the baby is placed in Viktor's arms anyway. The camera zooms in, and we see the baby. He is soft and squishy and looks at peace*

*the camera zooms in on Jayce, who looks like he might explode*

the mom: "Aw, it looks like he likes you, Viktor! You wanna keep holding him?

Viktor: "Yes."

*the camera follows Viktor throughout the day, holding the baby. The baby is always calm and sweet and snuggled on Viktor. Eventually, Viktor gives the baby back to his mom*

*camera pans to Viktor and Jayce walking home together. Jayce is trying to play it cool, but also looks like he wants to explode out of his skin.*

Jayce: "So, how did you--"

Viktor: "I want six of them."

Jayce: "YES!"

(they settle on four)

I am in Chicago for the Critical Role liveshow if anyone wants to say hi. I'm wearing the Mollymauk tarot card shirt and I'll be with a tall bald man wearing a Yasha shirt.

mage viktor meets a jayce from a timeline where the illness claimed viktor naturally

the moment that changed everything in this timeline was that vi managed to convince jinx that they could be sisters again. unconditionally. jayce got the council to vote for the creation of zaun. and there was no bombing or subsequent deaths/injuries. viktor died months later.

in my head, i imagine this jayce to have been in mourning for over five years. the last thing his viktor asked from him was to destroy the hexcore and keep working on their hextech dream. this jayce was unable to do either because of the weight of his grief.

he continues his duties as a councillor and pauses any new hextech development. the council, agitated, overrules him and hands over all hextech operations to new young and brilliant minds. he’s unable to destroy the hexcore because it knows what he wants (viktor)

though it’s slower, the anomaly still starts to form at the hexgates. and jayce, who is surprised ekko and heimerdinger came to him instead of the new people assigned to work with hextech, agrees to help, and gets thrown into mage viktor’s timeline.

mage viktor senses that there’s something different about this jayce. his grief is not the same as the other jayces who have visited. his grief belongs to someone he can’t return to. they have that in common.

OUR dream

[luckyjak]

4 kids is crazy

[luckyjak]

i've never ever felt such a burning need to draw a baby - i blame harry lloyd lol (him describing how even if they lived in a lil cottage by a stream with their 4 beautiful adopted children wouldn't come close to matching their bond was lovely

and no, this is not Silco and Vander, but I also won't deny that interpretation ^_^

[luckyjak]

Oh to be jayvik with their four beautiful adopted kids at that stream by their cottage 🌿

“First, we take sugar here as our binder and fuel, then combine it with saltpeter which is our oxidizer. We’re going to mix it like this, see. Now… What is your favorite color?” Jayce is going to marry this man. There’s really no other option from here. It’s going to happen.  “Ah! Purple is a very good color. For purple, we need just a little bit of copper for blue, and strontium for red. They don’t look like those colors now, do they? But that’s how they’ll burn, you’ll see. Now go ahead and dip the wire in, make sure it really coats the cotton… excellent work, you’re a fine young alchemist already. Now, I’m going to roll it in a little wax…” Viktor hasn’t noticed him yet, too busy helping small hands create their own sparklers to join in the celebrations, voice low and gentle with the patience of the healer he’d once tried to become.
