this just in that ttrpg actual play you keep posting about is run by people who are not you, playing character that are teenagers and not you, and fighting npcs that are not you.

wow the bad kids have morals and flaws you think are bad, they are well rounded fictional characters in an absurd .

wow the rat grinders have redeeming qualities and you personally have the hope they are redeemed. cool write an au or your own story, but this is not your story.

wow the IH or BLeeM made a choice you disagree with, these are really people who are telling a specific story/have different morals than you/are human and might say the wrong things/comedians. you are engaging in a parasocial relationship with people you do not know. you can critique a choice they made but don't make it about their character or their ability to play their own character that they have made.

wow the dice/tv style season/set/game system made x thing happen which i found narratively unsatisfactory. thats what Dimension 20 is. like you can complain about it but you knew it was a twenty episode dnd actual play with an emphasis on battles and sets going in.

basically, before you make some post about fhjy (or any media) remind yourself what type of media are consuming and why the story might be going that way. it being different than how you imaged is not a flaw on the creators part

Video game I saw in a dream. It was in this low poly style like an older video game. You play as this character I think was meant to be a lamb, or maybe a weird mix of a lamb a mouse and a rabbit, (while not really looking like any of those things) and you’re running away from a wolf. Your objective is to last as long as possible before the wolf catches and eats you.

The house you’re running in is endless and bizarrely put together like most building interiors in dreams are (like the infinite toilet dream dimension on Reddit lol) the layout of the house is pretty detailed, you can stop and hide in places like closets or bins while the wolf looks for you, you can go up and down stairs and into rooms etc.

You never actually know where the wolf is or how close it is to you until it appears in your line of sight, it makes no noise and the game gives you no way of knowing where it is, and it’s pretty unpredictable it doesnt move at a consistent pace. When the wolf catches you there’s an animation showing it eating your character

#the actual animation of the wolf eating your character wasnt scary he kind of just cartoonishly swallows the character whole lol #the scary part is being pursued by him and never knowing how close he is #i remember being surprised when i first saw the game bc it was presented to me as #a fun addictive sort of game kinda like a mobile app game #and then i see it and its a horror game and the creators are just completely oblivious to it lmao #dream art #<- thats my tag for all my dream-inspired art #art #gif #photomanipulation #digital art #liminal #weirdcore #used a mix of ai photos and regular photos for this one #the ai stuff is sooooo good for recreating what a dream looks and feels like #but i didnt use it too much bc i wasnt able to get the specific photos i wanted :/#hmmmm this is vore isn’t it

tsum events really are just the best, huh

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #tsumsted wonderland #to be fair this is from mal's card story so it's more...event-adjacent #i-it still counts right #poor malleus tsum is having such a time #first it blows up the kitchen and then it almost gets spin-cycle'd to tsum-death #the poor little guy just wanted to help with the party! it was trying its BEST 😭#and instead it accidentally recreated every other tuesday from my college days #i am so genuinely delighted to read two entire chapters of malleus bragging about knowing how to use household appliances #(he knows what he's doing! he READ the MANUAL)#(you know that manual has copious notes covering the margins in perfect copperplate)#and the callback to his dorm ssr story. perfect.#we all knew this was going to end in malleus punching a washing machine into smithereens #i'm disappointed that the next part is probably just going to be a fun party or whatever #and not malleus showing off how close he is to finally mastering the toaster #twst please where is my spinoff game where we have to help a dragon fae prince learn how to do household tasks #i have an indescribable need to see malleus attempt to use a vacuum #he is very enthusiastic and also very stupid and we love him for it

Me: "hey game developers, especially AAA ones, are getting laid off en-mass and it's awful for our industry" Gamer: "well I only play INDIE games and the problem with AAA games is they are creatively bankrupt"

Me, slamming my fists on the table like a baby: "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS IS ABOUT A BUSINESS PROBLEM PERPETUATED BY CAPITALISM NOT A STATEMENT ON CREATIVE DECISION MAKING"

#look I think AAA should make weirder games also but I wish we stopped treating that like some kind of solution and not just a fun idea #the problem is capitalism. its always capitalim #its not like AAA studios would have less problems if they made weird indie games lol #also hey spoiler alert: indie studios need to organize their labour too #in fact I think the organizing movement would be stronger if more indies adopted it first #anyway im busy so imma mute some posts now #thoughts #blog
