Re-watching some Seyloy scenes, and I think I'm coming to realize a little more, just what Aloy likes about Seyka. Like we have the obvious, the fact that she's capable, smart, and willing to go against authority for her beliefs. She cares about people and is willing to fight for them. Something that's different with her, though, is how equal they are. Obviously, they both grow in their respect and like for each other, but Seyka keeps insisting that they alternate between responsibility. Like how they travel, who gets to shoot the weapons, etc. Everyone Aloy meets becomes a little in awe of her, even the base gang. Seyka instead just pushes back against the secrets, and against the responsibility that Aloy keeps trying to keep to herself. The rest of the gang eventually learned to become comfortable with her and push back, but all of them start with that little bit of power imbalance.
Aloy has learned how to respect other people's care for their tribes, and how to be sensitive to what they value, and giving her a girl that kept up with her every single step of the way in saving her people? Yeah, the girl is going to really like her. Not once did Seyka put the responsibility of saving her sister on Aloy's shoulders. They helped each other, but it was mutual.

This is an illustration I created for Zin on Horizen.
One of my big attempts to try something big and large, grandiose in composition.
I was very inspired by this game at one time. In general I love to play, I have a Playstation4 and a Playstation5 and when I was really sick I would get up for this game.
My life is very interesting, but sometimes I get a lot of inspiration from games. So I would go into a game with great enthusiasm and spend the best hours of my life there.
The scale of disaster that was shown in the game because of one man's ambition is very close to my life. It makes you think about your own hubris, and the second part of this game, the telling of what happened to Ted Faro introduces me to horror actually. But beautiful horror.
While I was playing this game I kept asking the question, "Well could it really get any worse?" and another equally important "Just one little detail changed everything, what would have happened if it hadn't happened?"
Every mistake was fatal. Absolutely every single one. From a small detail flowed another and it changed the whole development of humanity. It was shown very beautifully.
And I was even more impressed with the second part of the game. You know. We play this game, we go through the story and very often there is a thought:
Was everything they did for nothing?
I think of the thousands of civilisations that my soul carries the memory of. And that regret. These thoughts, say, we have come so far, we have created so much, seen so much, and. It's destroyed and lost, it was created to nothing.
This regret that there was Atlantis once, and now it is gone, and I can't go back home and walk its streets, and a lot of things that I feel, that I once felt, that I can't feel now. Thousands of knowledge lost and….
Working with my subconscious and soul, thanks to this game, I found the answer to this regret: even if all the materials are erased and the memory on the carriers is destroyed. There is still a collective unconscious where all these secrets and mysteries are always stored and are. And I just started to take from my unconscious field what I couldn't touch. I started to feel and bring back these lost memories, because all living knowledge, it remains inside us forever.
Through meditation you can sometimes almost fly into space, the main thing is to go through the light,
In general, as usual, a jumble of thoughts, hello everyone, my name is Zezo, I like to play games :)

STEM SISTER SCUFFLE: ROUND 1 MASHUP 14
Elisabet Sobeck (Horizon games) vs Jade Harley (Homestuck)
Elisabet Sobeck is a Roboticist!
Jade Harley is a Nuclear Physicist!
Why you should vote for each contestant:
Elisabet Sobeck:
"She used her exceptional skill and intelligence to combat the world's destruction by the hands of a greedy billionaire."
"Saved the world"
"She created world-saving technology."
"ohh my god where do I start. ok first of all she is (was) like the only sane one on her project. this bitch ass trillionaire accidentally caused the apocalypse bc he's a dumb bitch and she literally led a project in order to re-terraform the world and continue humanity, just to make sure they didn't literally go /extinct/. also, the main character aloy is a sorta clone of her, which is cool. OH SHE'S A HOMO!!! in the second game a character is revealed to be like ~1000 years old and was actually her gf for some time before that character left to go on a space expedition and they split up. the credits song for the second game reads like an angsty gay love(?) song from elisabet's pov. to me at least. she makes me so unwell"
"She's a genius roboticist and AI programmer whose heart is just as important as her brain. She creates (under IMMENSE time pressure) an AI that can not only design its own robots and crack codes and terraform, but has its own feelings and cares about the world as much as Elisabet does. She makes some hard, cruel choices but it really is always for the best. She's even gay"
Jade Harley:
"She's soo fun and silly and her symbol is literally an atom. she regularly irradiates steak to feed her weird dog"
"She and her nuclear powered dog creating a new universe. she's cool"
"Built a modded bass guitar that's only playable when she's in her robot form and has extra arms. Became a doggirl. She also plays the flute :)"
"i think you have enough ramblings about her already but i couldnt NOT submit her, she is so dear to me <3"
"bbg has THREE scientific specialties!! she genetically modifies plants and makes them grow beautifully high just because she can and loves science. in her alpha timeline she’s a tech mogul and creates technology that challenges the evil empress that brought earth to ruin. AND she’s a furry"
"Doggy"
"She plays a silly flute refrain. She's a furry. Literally, she's a doggirl. She's also a god and created the universe. JADE BEST GIRLIE!!!!"
