#Shut up Kethsi

This game is such a lonely experience sometimes. If you're not good @ combat specifically, you're kind of on your own. And god forbid you want to learn but you got bad stats or bad gear. Then you're surrounded by people who can tank everything and dps for insane numbers but feel even more isolated than normally.

Ah fuck I forgot to upload level up screenies for january and I should probably do it before bxp rolls around.

Honestly, even though I’ll love WGS with all my heart til the day I die, I gotta say that The Chosen Commander is one of the best quests in this entire game and we don’t get many like it anymore. We see a character going through a struggle that we manage to help them with without the character dying for stupid shock value/”raising the stakes” bs. I love how it’s a character study. I love how Zanik is portrayed. I love how you get to know another character and establish a true, actual bond with her. I love how you get to see what she’s been through. I love how it’s about another character’s struggle for once. I love how you get to see that things that would be easy for you to deal with aren’t always so easy for others. I love the whole semi-cutscene where we sit down next to her and the quest won't progress til we shut up and let HER do the talking and let her open up about her hardships at her own pace whenever she's ready and just showing, just SHOWING that what people going through hard times need is a friend.  Someone to vent to without being thrown away. She’s a living creature, not some toy you can discard if you don’t feel like playing with (because her struggles “ruin your mood” or whatever) A reliable shoulder to cry on. Someone to LISTEN rather than give them the stupid "oh you'll be ok" cliches or the “Well you did something wrong so we don’t wanna see you or talk to you ever again” treatment. It’s such a powerful quest because it shows you that friendship is something worth fighting for even when your friend is struggling with their own demons. Hell, you help your friend fight against being possessed by a literal war god. Because she’s your friend and that’s what friends do, damnit! Truly, an Iconic piece of content. Zanik is worth it all and honestly I’d do it all over again for her as many times as it’ll take. I wish they’d make more characters like this, the game sorely needs them. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. TL;DR? The Chosen Commander is good. We need more quests like it.

I’ve had this blog for so long it almost feels like I watched entire civilizations rise and fall on here.

While most adequately informed people would recognize “hm?” as a universal sound of surprise, your “friendly” neighborhood soviet moms would see an opportunity to mock you for 15 minutes for being an utter weakling because your toes just got hit by a 5 kg frozen meat slab and you made a little vocal reaction while brave people across the world apparently “take the full force of a rockslide head first without making half of that pathetic-ass-whine” (to which i say, citation needed,) and subsequentially punish you by telling you that you’re no longer allowed near the fridge ever again (for being “that fragile”). I, for one, am fully willing to agree that our resilient rockslide-braving overlords are way tougher than I am, but the thinly veiled starvation attempt still smells like bullshit and won’t fly here. Take it from me, please don’t marry a soviet person unless you’re aware of their mental background. If you aren’t... Well, let’s just say they’ll never cease to surprise you, even over 20 years down the line.

I wish i lived in some fucking orphanage somewhere. I’m so done with having the worst mom ever, who does nothing but use me, beat me till i faint, force me to work every waking moment i have, and guilt trip my friends for not falling to their knees before her and her demands.

Those are difficult times that I plan on getting through by pretending to be completely and utterly ok and not devestated at all!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D <33333333333333333
