Having OSDD and playing STP and seeing how other people interpret the voices is crazy. Mostly because I attribute all the Voices as just being smaller parts of the Whole (You, the player) so it’s harder to take their flaws seriously when it’s like. Yeah but I’m not like that and I don’t wanna do that, ur just a thought bro.

Like L + Ratio imagine not being the guy in control of the body today, ANYWAYS-

(Mini ramble undercut!!)

It what makes certain routes like the Spectre so fun when she joins the mess and is like “??? Is it always this loud” because like yeah. Being apart of a system in real life is really just fine tuning the noise and making your own choices, especially since the voices are usually shown at face value and when you dig deeper they all usually want the same thing: To survive.

And when you realize that it’s easier to take agency of the control you Do have as the player and therefore the vessel. They each have their own different ways and thoughts of surviving but ultimately they either just want to survive or they want to survive and end the pain of the cycle they’re forced through.

They’re just thoughts, just voices, brought forth from trauma and trying to escape, give them grace.

All this to say, being apart of a system and playing a game that involves multiple voices is really just like playing a real life simulator and is probably why I have such an easy time playing and understanding the characters in the game

[<==PREV PAGES] [NEXT PAGE==>(not out yet.wait a year.or maybe more.imagine.]

saw alot of comments on prev pages; saying 'i HATE that mean teacher! im gonna FIGHT HIM!!' & i LOVE the energy!! it WOULD be nice. to have that catharsis. but the story of young tidestrider is Not one of catharsis. it is a story of being so small and so special and sucking so bad.

guys I'm a band nerd and have an untamable urge to assign every character ever an instrument based solely on vibes how do you think I did

To specify, Fuyuhiko is on Bari, Hajime, Kaito, and Kiibo are on Tenor, Mahiru, Komaru, and Tenko are on Alto. Those classifications are very important to me. Only Rantaro and Chihiro are on bass clarinet, everybody else is b♭

I know I’m getting close to some kind of truth

Card Meaning: Google says "High Priestess is a card of mystery, stillness and passivity. This card suggests that it is time to retreat and reflect upon the situation and trust your inner instincts to guide you through it. Things around you are not what they appear to be right now. Upright card (keywords): Hidden talents, Intuition, Mystery, Spiritual insight, Things yet to be revealed. Reversed card (keywords): Information withheld, Lack of personal harmony, Secrets"

Case for Sky: Sky fits well with the high priestess's themes of intuition, inner voice, and reflection, so I feel like her reasoning is fairly self-evident. Also my fiance says she deserves to be on a card after all the shit she went through in the show

Case for LeBlanc: LeBlanc is a figure of mystery for most of the season, and her story with Mel also fits very nicely with the themes of secrets, hidden talents and spiritual (or arcane) awakening. Since she shapeshifts all the time, it also fits with things not being as they seem. Also, in this tarot series I already have cards for cosmic machine herald Viktor as well Viktor and Jayce in their last moments in the cosmic space, so I've already devoted quite a bit of space to that storyline, whereas I don't really have a card devoted to Mel's season 2 storyline (I do have a Mel card, though).

I certainly have my own concerns about the treatment of moo deng but um. well i think some of you may just be racist

[aizawashuichi]

i saw some mello ai art and the op said something like, "yes it's ai cuz i can't draw"... you don't have to. you don't have to draw to be part of a fandom. you can also just commission it to actual artists in the fandom, if the already existing art is not enough for you. or if you can't pay, find people that accept free commissions or just share your idea and wait for someone to pick it up. collaboration is part of fandom culture.

If you are going to make a game here’s some things that might be helpful!

Game engines:

Godot: very new dev friendly and it’s free. Has its own programming language (GDscript) but also supports C#. It’s best for 2D games but it can do 3D also.

Unity: I don’t even know if I should be recommending Unity. It has caused me much pain and the suffering. But Unity has an incredible amount of guides and tutorials. And once you get the hang of something it’s hard to get caught on the same thing again. It also has a great Visual Studio integration and uses C#. I will warn you the unity animator is where all dreams go to die. It’s a tedious process but you can probably get some plugins to help with that.

Unreal: Don’t use it unless you’re building a very large or very detailed 3D game. It also uses C++ which is hell.

Renpy: Made for visual novels but has support for small mini games. It only supports Python iirc. Basically if you’re making a VN it’s renpy all the way otherwise you should look elsewhere.

What to learn: Game design and how to act as your own game designer. As a designer you need to know if a part of your game isn’t meshing with the rest of it and be willing to give up that part if needed. Also sound design is very important as well. If you want to make your own sounds audacity is perfect for recording and cutting up your clips. If you want to find sound effects I recommend freesound.org and the YouTube royalty free music database.

Sadly I can’t recommend a lot of places to learn this stuff because I’m taking Game Development in Uni. So most of my info comes from my lectures and stuff. One of my game design textbooks is pretty good but it’s around $40 CAD. It’s called the game designers playbook by Samantha Stahlke and Pejman Mirza-Babaei if you’re interested (fun fact there’s a photo of Toriel in there)

Anyway sorry for dumping this large ask on you I’m just really passionate about game design and I like to see other people get into it.

please do not apologize I'd never heard half of this stuff so this is super useful!! I've seen some godot tutorials on YouTube although so far I've played around with RPG maker MV (it was on sale. very very fiddly interface, i had trouble getting around it) and gamemaker, which recently became free for non-commercial use (a lot more approachable on first impact but like i said, haven't really done anything substantial in either yet).

mostly, I'm still in the super vague stage. I've got an idea for the main story conflict, the protagonist and their foil, the general aesthetic i want to go for (likely 2D graphics, but it would be cool to make like. small cutscenes in low-poly 3D) but not much else. haven't exactly decided on the gameplay either! it's gonna necessarily be rpg-esque, but I'm not much of a fan of classic turn-based combat so. I'm gonna check out other games and see if i can frankenstein anything cooler :P

following a conversation i had with my bf @katzenprince / @elvhenprince (hi babe!), i do know some ppl are fine with x reader stuff but just Not Fine scrolling through sm of it in tags! which i can totally understand!

(to be utterly clear: x reader writers, you have nothing but my support 💖 i just see frustration expressed and a lot of it is misdirected frustration at tumblr's filtering system)

under the cut i have a long - but not exhaustive! - list of what i'm noticing is used with some regularity. i have tried to make this easy to just have this post open and copy paste each entry into your filtered tags

also as a heads up: a lot of these will probably appear identical. but the inclusion of spaces and exclamation points and all will help catch the most

had a "who is 'she'" moment today and started wondering if i should use they/them pronouns exclusively fhksdbdj

[palespawn]

i'm thinking thinking thinking of tying the gloomstalker/assassin build into astarion's characterisation here; since his rogue and charlatan background stems primarily from his years in enslavement to cazador - having to deceive marks, stalk the shadows, likely lockpicking and trespassing (although for non-residential places only, since, vampire). his skills as an archer/ranger now could also be influenced by his life pre-vampirism. thinking about his parentage but also his being an elf and having natural inclinations for magic and bow/swordsmanship. his father teaching him how to use a bow and arrow as a child to hunt for skins to create leather/furs (since i headcanon his father as having been a tailor), his mother connecting him with nature and magic, as a lover of art. the assassin aspect i think could naturally come about after being tadpoled and thrust into this whirlwind adventure, since they're constantly fighting and killing and fighting some more and he enjoys stabbing. whereas before, he wasn't really required to kill people, just entice them back to cazador. SO ANYWAY if i throw all of that into a mixing pot, i just like that even after 200 years of being forced to become someone else, there are still traces of his former self and his family within him, even though he, himself, doesn't remember them
