#Old games suck ass

it drives me up the fucking wall when someone says “i hope sims 5 has better graphics” and simmers say “no i want it to stay cartoony :(“ why do you think having ray tracing means you can’t make a sim with big eyes. why is your computer fan running like a helicopter from reshade just to get better ambient occlusion if you don’t want it to be better. do you just have no idea what ur talking about. i think you just don’t know what ur talking about

not gonna lie I sometimes feel strange posting baldi art in 2023. Like I know is not my fault that I didn't know about fandoms and stuff but seeing some old posts of fans having fun when baldis basics was so popular and posting arts and stuff and seeing people interacting with each other with their baldi blogs and...i don't know. I feel like I missed so much fun. I feel like a fake fan because I didn't join the fandom sooner and when I see people mention some events that happened in the fandom I just. can't say anything because I wasn't there (or either I don't remember that much?)

not to purposely be a hater with you but that novrclips channel also once posted an artist's slimeriana making out art as a thumbnail without their permission or crediting them and also as a way to shit on shippers "breaking" cc boundaries, and when the artist asked for credit at the very least the clips channel refused because they didn't want any more "exposure" for ship art

it's fine to be mean do not Worry :)

Awesome I think that person should die actually 👍

i'm going to go back in time and throttle the final fantasy 7 game devs for making you choose your own save point AT THE FINAL SECTION OF THE GAME. save points throughout the entire game are at fixed points, and then at the end it's like "hey i know you have no idea how extensive this last area is or how strong the enemies are until you reach the boss, but here's a save point you have to place yourself"

ffxiv garlemald discourse is so funny because people will go "ugh people just cant stand it when things aren't black and white" and then you look at how the empire are portrayed in stormblood and shadowbringers and its like hm. that seems like a pretty intense and accurate display of violent imperialism to me! Wow I wonder why people in this day and age may find it hard to feel sympathy for them or even hate them on principal. god its such a mystery.

the games like 50/50 to me on how it tackles these themes because I actually like the garlemald arc in EW, I think it has a lot of horrific and powerful scenes depicting how self destructive fascist propaganda and beliefs are, but I also think it doesn't go far enough on some fronts. the garleans' xenophobia is most notably and obstacle to getting them to accept the contingent's help, which is what they're there to do,

but there's never an admission of harm from any garleans on the uuuuuuuuh massive amount of war crimes the nations around them are still suffering from they're just kind of like "we misjudged you...but you actually wanted to help us all along" like yeah thats great now can we get you all some deprogramming because you keep talking about returning to your prime and glory days and I think we need to unpack some stuff you really SHOULDNT return to. im not even really talking about EW proper but the patches where things are a bit more chilled out and people are recovering.

It feels like they wanted to have their critique of imperialism and also have things end with the beauty of human connection and reaching out and these things just don't mesh well because hey a lot of your modern day audience is not gonna like having to treat people yelling xenophobic things at the cast and your character with kid gloves after you showed them hours and hours of the awful things these people's beliefs have done. especially in the present day hoo boy.

i just finished percy jackson and it was cool. but it made me realize how badly i want fantasy stories with 20+ year olds. not 12 year olds. not 16 year olds. 20 year olds. people my age, who are still figuring their life out despite being an adult.

depression talk ahead

whenever i play a game with a story/characters i love and become deeply invested in, i get depressed in real life. this is because i can't bring myself to do anything other than play the game. Every other thing in life is sidelined. EVERY other thing.

This doesn't make me regret playing the game, because i love its characters so much. But I do wish it didn't happen because everything SUCKS
