BioWare fumbling a game 10 years in the making before it even comes out is so on brand it’s physically painful

Lmao it really is honestly like. Of course this happened. Of course. A part of me still really hopes maybe there’s gonna be some ‘haha we were kidding’ or something but. It’s sadly not likely so here we are. Coming to terms with their fumble once again

[vampireghostlawyer]

Thank you for the detailed answer! I really want to get into fear and hunger because the concept is right up my alley but I am also really bad at video games 😭 I’ll have to try again with your advice in mind!

omg yeah of course! I believe in you!!! The one really nice thing about funger is that despite the fact that it's really hard, because it's turn based, you can take it slowly and think over things a lot. I hope my advice helps a bit ^^

If you end up getting really stuck and want to just watch a playthrough for help, I really recommend this one!

“These are my friends and I’m the faggot from MCR.” Remember that…

do you think i could ever forget it

[okom]

Okay okom I’m so sorry but I must tell you. On tiktok this girl called Britt Barbie would say “period ahh” after every sentence she said and TikTok went absolutely crazy for it and decreed it a bona fide internet phrase. (She’s also the girl who went viral for not knowing hair grows out of your head, so….TikTok royalty). Then she released a song called “period ahh period uhh,” which is…basically just that. The fact that Bob bryar is quoting this, however, remains outside my realm of knowledge. Can’t say it’s a good sign though.

I’ve never been more happy to know that i’m so disconnected from tiktok and bob bryar that i had absolutely no clue what period ah period uh means. thank you heatherstepper for explaining the lore so i don’t have to look it up😭 i owe u my life.

Ahhhh I know exactly how you feel, I have arthritis and all my doctors keep telling me to “exercise” but sometimes even certain yoga poses puts too much strain on my joints! The only thing I can do consistently is walk up and down my flat parking lot, maybe start with that? Walking on a flat surface is not too stressful and since I do it every day for like 10 minutes, my stamina is slowly increasing! But everything takes three times as long for people with chronic illnesses/disabilities 😒

yeah i am actually pretty good for walking, as long as my asthma isn't acting up too badly. at least i've got that at least. its the muscle-building that i really struggle with, it just hurts too much!! 😭 thank you for messaging i appreciate it

[piebutt]

Fuckcifnngdo THANK YOU I always felt like I was missing something with everyone constantly sucking Solas dick but like honey....he’s a boring edgelord with a genocidal agenda and yet all of inquisition revolved around him and BioWare is just going to keep pandering to solasmancers

rly love that one bit in game where you can say ‘please tell me you have more to go on than ‘the elves are acting a bit dodgy’” and the bioware team was just like Oh Let’s Do That but An Entire Game

all while making the qunari the bad guys again?? with all of the trailers acting like we have some huge set of questions for solas as if any of his character was mysterious? it just drips written by white dudes desperately trying to have us feel for a genocidal racist dipshit who really should just go back to sleep if he’s so fucking upset

like hey get this i’m white as hell but i still get the concept of reclaiming culture so that whole ‘be SAD about your tattoos why AREN’T YOU SAD THO’ narrative about dalish tattoos just. fell so fucking flat lol. like oh that’s it? wow solas. you’re just a boomer who had a nap for a bit too long huh

[rebelrevolutionary]

Cousland is probably my personal favorite bc it’s really interesting to go through the game as someone who previously had a great deal of influence on fereldan politics. Like greeting cailan and loghain and having them KNOW the cousland warden is just so cool and lets my frantic little world building brain go crazy. broska definitely lets you get a glimpse of dwarven society that you wouldn’t normally get but tbh cousland is so satisfying

ughhh yeah thats why i was drawn to Cousland at first,,, now i cant decide tbh

[anothersuperstition]

Like I’m 25 years old now but every time I see you casually talk about frank iero the 13 year old girl that lives inside my brain goes absolutely feral like I don’t know what I would have done back then if I was even marginally associated through social media to someone who interacts with Frank iero and is then a little mean to him about his Instagram opinions

i’m 21 years old and every time i have a notif from frank the 13 year old girl that lives inside my brain goes absolutely feral as well so that’s fair. i wasn’t a little mean To Him because he still scares me a little but i was a little mean About Him to my gf and roommates lmao

[daredussy]

Do you have like, a tip for hunting in rdr2? I honestly went through most of the game without hunting at all just bc it was such a huge ordeal but I really want to play through again and upgrade everything at camp and get all the trapper outfits but hunting is fjekkdoofod so gd tedious and you've played this game like 8 times so please tell me!!! What is the secret!!!

Im probably the worst person to come to for this because I SUCK at hunting,, 

but I guess study the animals before you try and kill em,, see what weapons and ammo you need to be using for those perfect pelts, (this is the only thing I ever do and thats rarely still lmao)

remember that eagle eye thing is a tool you can use to track

you can bring multiple horses to carry more animals and pelts, but remember to tell them to wait while you go sneaking after that prey else youll be making more noise than you want

theres bait and that scent cover shit that you can use if you wanna be a lil more professional about it

but aside from that I aint got much good advice

good luck with your hunting cowboy ✌️🤠

Do you happen to give out your friend code for pocket camp? I'd love to be friends with you! 😊

yes! i have a few spots left on my friends list but @ everyone pls only add me if ur active tysm ♡

[apostaterevolutionary]

I’m genuinely considering getting into soukyuu no fafner because your dragon age opinions are so correct that I trust your taste 🫡

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hello yes, with absolutely no bias whatsoever (XD), I say you should totally give it a go! Lmao really I had a lot of fun with it and I absolutely didn't mean to get this obsessed so that's a pretty good endorsement imo. Ideal fandom to me is something I enjoy but still has room for me to play around with stuff or say 'hey what if that didn't happen and this did instead' (you know, like DA skdlskl), and this fits the bill

I'm also available for any information/assistance, like if you've got questions or need links or watch order or warnings or whatever, please feel free to reach out via ask or dm (and this goes for anyone reading this). The og series is only 26 eps + a 90 minute sequel movie, so it's not super long to give a try to but still long enough to know if the show is your vibe or not (the rest isn't terribly long either - I'm not trying to sell anyone one piece or naruto lmfao, do not worry)

Also you can be certain that if you DO get into it, there's plenty of stuff to look at, because I am personally making what I can and dredging up the rest from the depths of the tumblr tag :D

[vampireghostlawyer]

So I decided to try playing fear and hunger 2 because of your posting about it and I’m so sorry but having to start from the very beginning after dying….It’s rough

omg !!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am honored truly <3 but omfg yeah, the game, especially the start is pretty brutal. the constant restarting is definitely one of the most frustrating parts. ive played the game a few times and i still restart my first mornings like 15+ times tbh.

i have some tips from my playthroughs, but they have some spoilers, so in case you dont wanna see and wanna keep figuring stuff out on your own, ill put them under a read more, but i hope they help!!

-the majority of the game can be completed on the first day, and it's honestly a lot easier on you if you do that. it makes that first 4ish hours of every playthrough way more tedious, but it pays off at the end when you have a lot more save states and extra time for boss battles.

-the main goal at the start of your playthrough should be getting into the city. there are a ton of ways to do this, but some are easier than others. if you play as any character with the lockpicking ability, you can lockpick the sewer door by the river with the statues, and the sewer eventually leads into the city and you can unlock the gates from the inside. otherwise, there's a small chance of finding bolt cutters in the mayor's manor, which can get you through immediately.

-abella is super easy to recruit and a reallyyy strong character. follow her to the left to the bunker and talk to her immediately and she'll agree to join you. (if you want to keep tanaka alive tho, immediately leave once you get her!) her pipe toss ability can stun enemies and makes some of the weaker enemies in the game easy to kill in a single turn.

-to save levi, marina, and tanaka, kill needles as soon as you get into the city. with him dead, he'll no longer kill marina and tanaka, and he drops heroin which you can use to recruit levi on the first day. levi and marina are strong allies, so they're worth recruiting. (be aware though that marina is bugged and in some playthroughs is permanently unrecruitable) also, do NOT leave the area where you killed needles until you've searched his body and cut off his head, otherwise he'll despawn. he's the only enemy that does that for some reason.

-"beat" bobbies immediately after you kill them!!

-cut off literally all the heads you can. bonesaws are supposed to only break on certain enemies or as a very rare chance, but i have them break often. so, if you plan on killing other contestants, i'd wait until you have at least two to start cutting off heads. the heads you cut off will let you basically level up each time you sleep. contestant heads can be traded for valuable items.

-the moonscorched villagers don't fight back and still drop items and can have their heads cut off, so i strongly recommend fighting them on your first day to get some extra loot

-you can climb down the vines in the mayor's manor to get some really valuable stuff and unlock the area to save henryk if you want to do that. even if you plan on killing him, there's a ton of food down there so it's useful. it does hurt sanity tho so be careful

-SHOOT FECAL HOUNDS! dont try to do regular turn based combat with them, they will get your whole party sick and it's not worth it.

-try to pick up as many books as you can. the book of enlightenment lets you get a free save, to spare you starting over if you find a really good item or recruit someone who's really hard to get like daan or marina.

-dirty toilet paper can be used as a bandage, but will always give an infection. if someone in your party has an infection and is bleeding, always give them dirty toilet paper instead of a regular bandage, because infection doesnt stack.

-in the beginning dream, if you kill that naked guy, you get super strong weapon for the rest of the game.

-if you're really struggling, try starting as marcoh or abella. they're both VERY strong starting contestants. when playing as marcoh, make sure to get lockpicking, and when playing as abella, make sure to get the short circuit ability.

-the headless dogs that chase you in the forest near the beginning can be distracted with rotted meat, which has basically no other use in game (eating it just makes you sick), so definitely do that if you can

-vile, the pig mask guy with the gas, can be insta killed with the right dialogue options and a successful coin flip. if he corners you and you have to fight him, just keep asking him what he's saying and he'll eventually kill himself on accident if you pass a coin flip.

-interacting while standing on broken glass gives you broken glass, which you can throw at enemies to make them lose a huge amount of accuracy. this is VERY helpful for fighting needles or if you plan to fight daan.

-GOFAH ritual circles require chalk and a GOFAH skin bible. in some difficulties, i'm pretty sure you get a free one right off the bat from marina. if you do the circle with chalk on the correct areas (check the wiki), you can get a save point to stave off having to restart. on the easier mode, you get 3 save points per ritual circle, which is actually busted honestly.

good luck!!

Have you seen the thing mcr twitter is doing where they post the set list from the day they were born like my brother in christ when I was born Frank was still in high school

yes i do feel superiority over the fact that frank was 12 when i was born but do i wish i had a birthday setlist? maybe a little

[okom]

Sndjksjd okom u are so relatable like how many takes did those paparazzi costume people have of people getting upset for being accosted and just not including them in the video ngl I would definitely throw up if that happened to me. Just like immediately.

i hate being perceived by anyone in public but it just adds this layer of paranoia when going outside knowing that it’s normalized for random strangers to just film me and post me on the internet without my knowledge. and if the person does know they’re being filmed and is uncomfortable about it, the filmers always try to turn it around on the person being filmed like they’re being ridiculous for being uncomfortable. it reminds me of when a guy buys you a drink and you politely turn him down bc you have a boyfriend (you don’t but accepting the drink means accepting this guys company and maybe you just want to be with your friends) and then the guy gets all defensive and angry at you for turning down his generous offer. same vibes. i think street surveyers and tiktokers who run up to people and start filming them should start being made afraid again. people should just start swinging at anyone filming them without consent. that video of the two girls in the Lamborghini? they should’ve run over those dudes who stepped in front of their car to get them to stop so they could shove cameras in their faces to ask about the car. as steve harvey once said: KILL!

[aceforestnymph]

I'm laughing a little bit bc I remember that post you reblogged and I was like YEAH I MISS THEON FUCK THAT SHIT but then you got an anon with Star Wars spoilers I'm so sorry

Yeah LMAO I was not expecting that! And don't worry about the spoilers. I was actually planning to watch it at the cinema with my friend this Christmas, but now that I know my fave will not make it ://// idk but I'm not paying for that lol

Which.....Victorian novel are you reading....

I’m writing on “Amour Dure” by Vernon Lee as part of one of my final exams. I’m reading on an ebook and it took my eyes glazing over giant blocks of really aesthetically embellished descriptive text before I googled the author, realized she was super gay + big into the aesthetic movement, and realized that what I was reading was actually, in the best way possible, an incredibly lesbian passage of sexually/emotively worshipping an Italian noblewoman who essentially weaponizes her irresistibly enthralling sexuality that’s lethal to men yet totally safe for women and ends up executed for murdering 5 of her husbands.
