HI HAPPY CELL GAMES DAY THIS IS WHAT SHOULD'VE BEEN FR

[lucky-slice]

"KevNeil is great because -"

No. Its because they're stupid. Individually, Kevin is a nationally recognized exy superstar and Neil is the son of a mafia boss who is playing with social dynamics like its connect4, but put them together and they're just fucking idiots. They're sharing one braincell and its getting tossed between their exy rackets.

[stop-breaking-my-heart-telltale]

I played romance Louis/save Violet for the first time (and last) in my life some days ago and I really didn't expect the game to feel so different without him. Not is his absence only extremely notorious but to quote one of your old posts, the game won't shut up about him.

EVERY SINGLE TIME. They didn't mention Violet even half the times they did with Louis, and it just feels. Awful. Constant reminder that you left him get taken, that he's being tortured and traumatized. It really did hit different, I wanted to think about all the details for Violet's route but I couldn't. THEY KEPT BRINGING HIM UP LIKE OK !! I GET IT !! I KNOW, IM COMING TO HIS RESCUE

and in the end I ended up getting mad Violet suddenly forgot about his existence. I remember you talked about that a lot but since I hadn't experienced it I hadn't realized how bad it was.

When she didn't mentioned him even ONCE, not in the cells, not in the walk home back to Ericson, nothing.

But back to Louis– the game says Louis' name over and over and it makes me feel guilty and I don't like it

That route haunts my nightmares.

When I used to stream, we called the romance Louis/save Violet [+don't trust AJ] route The Despair Route.... you can probably guess why. You're right, the whole thing hits differently when you've built up Clementine's romance with him, only for him to be taken away. Plus, when you do that, your relationship with Violet isn't as strong so not only do you miss out on a lot of Louis content, you miss out on Violet content for not romancing/best friending her.

And yeah, the game will not shut up about Louis when he gets taken. It's actually so fascinating, because Violet doesn't get mentioned nearly as much, so that begs the question of why? Y'know? I mean, we can look at Louis getting captured and conclude that they keep reminding us about him so that we're extra hurt and guilty when we find him in the cells.

But then with Violet? Louis is the one who brings her up most of the time, except when Ruby pulls out her file. But it's odd that the others don't make more comments like they do with Louis. I think we are kind of meant to forget about her? Well, okay, not forget about her but like... The fact that they don't talk about her as much makes her feeling pissed off, forgotten and abandoned all the more powerful, no?

As for Violet forgetting about him, in my opinion that's just a genuine flaw with the writing... because Violet would ask about Louis. I've played her romance route. I believe that in my heart of hearts that she would, and when she doesn't, I'm like ?????

Sure, you can say she's got her mind on other things, or that Aasim already told her what happened to Louis so she doesn't ask when they're in the cells... except she would ask if he's okay.

They're different characters who react to things differently, and that's not inherently good or bad.... but you're seriously going to tell me that the only thing Violet's says to Louis is a sad little, "Lou..." when meeting up with him on the beach? and then she only makes a minor mention of him when talking about pushing people away on the walk home?

No, sir. I think not. I think that's an oversight, especially if you're trying to sell their friendship in her route.

But I suppose in her defense, if you're a Louis fan, you're more likely to be angry about it. We're used to Louis mentioning Violet and then to see her not do the same isn't great. Whereas a Violet fan who prefers her route is more likely to justify why and how it makes sense, y'know? In fact, if a Violet fan plays Louis' route, they probably get mad that she's "forgotten" about a lot prior to the cells so I suppose it balances out?

Also, can I add for both routes how much I side eye the fact that captured Louis/Violet say nothing about the other if they died on the bridge? I get they didn't want to be a downer on the happy ending, and that time has passed so they probably already mourned......... but c'mon. I know Louis can't verbalize but he can write, he can stand by Violet's grave, something. Violet could've said something. Listen, if you're gonna make me suffer through that, give me some of the angst I actually want.

[backouchy]

now that I finally started bg3, I've decided to play it like a lunatic: 4 characters at the same time. While being gimmicky af. Meet my fellows:

Tav "Just Tav" Tav (Default!Tav)

High Elf Barbarian (Path of the Berserker)

She/her

voice 2

Acolyte Background

her entire character is just the first option in every tab of the character creator. I gave her lore, and the lore thinks she doesn't feel bonita after being wormed.

---

2. Gustav "call me 'Gus' 'cus it's confusing to have two 'Tav's" of the Empty Lands (BiBG!Tav)

Half-Orc Bard (College of Lore)

They/them

voice 7

Urchin Background

they're the result of "hm what if tav from Blood in Baldurs Gate was revived" and half-orcs is the only independent tall race (that I remember) that a potential companion isn't made in

---

3. Charnayme "Chara" Plæcehuldre (OC!Tav)

Half-drow Monk (Way of the Open Hand)

They/them

voice 4

Sage Background

I got a little too silly and Chara came to be, like gus(tav), they're also created based on unoccupied tall companion races (subrace half-drow) and unoccupied class (monk)

---

4) The "Durge" Dark Urge (Default!Durge)

White Dragonborn Sorcerer (Storm Sorcerer)

He/him

voice 5

Haunted Background

the murder lizard gets a little quirky at night. He gets tail 3 for its crocodile-coded shape.

[yore-donatsu]

“It was just a greeting, right ? Right ?!” ---------------------

In my headcanon (and maybe identical to other fans), Omnics have their own codes to show their affections. Like the Hongi (the traditional Māori greeting) that doesn't have the same interpretations for humans as for omnics For Omnics, this is a strong emotional sign - corresponds to the kissing (no lips to kissing ? Don’t care ! There’s always a solution !)  That's why Ramattra is so embarrassed - He has “kissed” this idiot King And Conrard has difficulty interpreting this move (ignore the real omnic’s signification) and feels a lot confused After this altercation, they didn’t speak again for a week (Ramattra running away from Conrard, so embarrassed about this)

Im glad my ask inspired you x3

But dont burn yourself out over it, y'know?

Also as fun as Halo 3 is... The Prophet of truth seems to had a serious re-write since Halo 2.

Cause in Halo 2, he seemed to know EXACTLY what the halo rings were, letting the other prophets die, and specifically cut off the heretic's message before he mentioned anything about guilty spark or anything like that.

But in Halo 3? He's just a zealous propaganda machine :/

No cool subtle hints of his plan, no vague lines that he knows he'll destroy the universe, nothing. Just "I am the bringer of the great journey!" and "I am the voice of the covenant!" and its just such a let down from the buildup of his whole arc from Halo 2

ALSO PLAY ODST RIGHT THE HECK NOW!!!!!!!!!

Super Intendent and Virgil my beloveds :3

I said a while ago. Hold on is it in my tag. YES okay so when I was talking about halo 2 a while ago I said that it felt like 2 was Bungie trying to expand on all of the ideas they had for CE. And they had a lot of trouble with that bc of how rushed they were.

3 feels like the successful version of that, with the stipulation that it’s trying to wrap up all of the plot points from the previous games. I think CE was the tight-knit concept, 2 was the stage where they spaghetti’d that concept way out, and 3 was the point where they shaved down things to finish the series. A LOT of stuff got- cut isn’t the right word- simplified. But all of these things are still recognizable. You don’t play as the arbiter unless you’re playing with another person but he’s there next to you. They made the models slightly less detailed but thank god because 2 on original graphics was kind of nasty in the cutscenes. I think Truth got the same treatment, mostly because he has less screen time. He’s less detailed than he was in 2, but I do think he’s characterized the same.

He is very aware of how all of the forerunner tech works- he knew exactly where to go and what to do to open the portal to the Ark. He’s still manipulative, actively hiding the details of the great journey even when he’s got Johnson’s hand on the trigger. The line, “but that secret died with all the rest,” is an insane one, because doubly proves that he knew the heretic was right about the rings.

It would have been so cool if he was just as subtle in his manipulations as he was in 2, but by the time he gets to earth he is desperate. The Covenant got cut in half, he was just being chased around his own ship by the demon, and he’s scrabbling to activate the portal on his enemies’ homeworld. Then on the Ark he’s under the assumption that he’s already at the finish line, that he doesn’t have to keep up his facade of power for much longer. He’s still in character, it’s just warped by circumstance and squashed by the simplicity of the game.

Also for ODST- sir yes sir I’ll get on it right away O7 :3c

[prismit]

oh yeah, dead cells immortalis thoughts now that i'm caught up

it's. kinda mid 😔 but it has its moments, so i'm not really upset about it. i'm just gonna try my best to enjoy it for what it is, and it's entertaining enough that that's not too hard for me to do.

(i mean ofc i'm upset about things regarding. yknow. the motion twin/evil empire stuff. but that's a different can of worms, i'm just talking about the show itself, meta stuff aside.)

[currentlyonstandbi]

genuinely shaking with adrenaline, just soloed simon manus's 2nd phase fight

[oh-meow-swirls]

was looking through old posts and i'm surprised to see that i seemingly didn't have any commentary on anything in 3 in chapter 7, 8 or 9, the posts related to 3's story go from "my first reaction when i saw yopple-bot was 'i love you. but also you are definitely the boss for this chapter-'" to "i have been in hell all day. hell being bada-bing tower." funny to me cuz those chapters are like, the best ones sdfkljsdfjfsdkjlfsdjkl-
