[ID: a positive steam review that says,

game good but you gotta be old or autistic, or both if you're like me

/end ID]

so I checked out the steam page for Shadows of Forbidden Gods bc I saw you post about it

Honestly this describes like 40% of my favorite games (another 40% being glorified choose-your-own-adventure books and/or dialogue simulators.)

Anyway yes correct.

seeing you post some of your older reviews onto goodreads is fun bc it's sorta an enhanced version of the "huh sounds like a fun book/they really liked this one *checks* ...oh 2 stars?" effect I get when reading your reviews (lighthearted)

Assuming this is about the Iron Widow one? That actually was originally three stars, I just went back and edited it because I came across some analysis/discourse and realized I'd cooled quite a lot on it since I read it.

@bog-in-a-well / @bogswell-kampilan, the Rock Monkies AU creator everyone dndnxn

I sent a transcript of the shadowpeach argument aka breakup scene in our groupchat djdjdj

It's so hilarious how very similar the shadowpeach fallout is in canon and in the AU. None of us really expected it.

They're not so different after all huh

I just started the fourth game and these two feel very Iron Dad to me 😭💖

what's up with Leviathan eu4? searched it up and like wow that's the lowest rated thing I've seen on steam... pretty much ever lol

as-released it was so badly bugged it made the game unplayable

its features were ill-conceived and broke a lot of existing systems

its features were so mind-bogglingly strong that they trivialized the game

generally a lot of this is attributable to a new studio coming in and the natural problems that are gonna happen with a new studio's first release. however unfortunately, and most importantly for me:

4. it set the tone for the rest of the game's life cycle, which was 'we've reached the absolute limit of what we can meaningfully do with the game's engine and core framework, so here's a bunch of dumb bullshit that lives on top of all the other systems without meaningful interaction with them'

like, people joke about hearts of iron mods trying to turn the game into a visual novel, but that's essentially official paradox policy now wrt eu4. every update is just like 'new mission chain based on some wacky althist to give france massive bonuses for colonizing siberia or annexing singapore or some bullshit'. it's a boring and uninteresting design philosophy to me that goes against everything that i like about paradox games so i'm basically not interested anymore

Had to draw the very talented @namidew 's designs for Apollo and Hyacinthus after their most recent post of them!!! I'm SO in love with these designs y'all!! Absolutely want to kiss both of their cheeks!!

THIS. this made me laugh too hard when i read it.

[cocatgaming12]

I asked my friend what they would call Apollo’s hair horn things and they called them twigs. I’m literally crying right now.

[st-just]

completely out of left field but I remember a few years back you did this ask meme like "send me a song that reminds you of me" or wtv—

—and I don't remember what song I sent but I would like to retract it and replace it with Loneliness by Birdy just based on like Vibes. 👍

I mean yeah that sounds like an ask meme I reblogged at some point.

Anyway love the song, have now downloaded, thanks!

re: "reading the volumes in a row would [...] feel far too much like cheating to get my reading challenge counter up higher" idk if it'd work for you but what I do is count each 'arc' of a comic/manga as a book for my reading challenge and only set one volume from each arc as read within the current year (if you blank out the dates read/finished here

goodreads doesn't count it for the reading challenge)

For the moment I don't feel too guilty - internally consider this spending the credit earned for all of Pale only counting as one book - but will probably do something similar in the new year, yeah. (if I can figure out what natural 'arcs' for whatever comics I read even are, I guess).
