learning abt friendship decay and "not reaching out to your friends for months at a time unprompted is not neurotypical behaviour" has me feeling a certain way

Something about Hua Cheng's expression here is killing me--I know this is supposed to be a delicate moment of reassurance but the pure hater energy radiating off of him is just immaculate

thinking about evan kelmp asking a man what he wants him to tell his family after evan murders him, showing him his own funeral leaving him aged, and STILL squaring up when that clearly broken guy insults k

i was scrolling through my disc alt account dms because that's where I usually post my rambles / inner thoughts and other stuff like that and found this screenshot and just absolutely DIED. I don't remember what story was this but now that I actually read this it sounds so wild 😭😭 average enstars moment ig. Kohaku's sisters wtf have you been up to.

Also I do think that they should mention older siblings more often bc I was surprised to learn that Shu had an older brother and sister in the wiki. actually I think it's better to post a screenshot of me being pissed at this newfound information.

i know that in some stories they do mention older siblings like that one Kaoru event where he wanted to so something for his older sister's wedding and how Adonis mentions that he has 3 older sister's and so on and so forth (and I really like the Pretty 5 event about Tori's little sister, that was pretty funny and sweet). And I do know that Leo has a younger sister, Ruka Tsukinaga from Ensemble Girls

But as the curious little bitch I am I HAVE to learn more about these older/younger siblings. And I kid you not I've been coming up with designs for them, such as Tori's younger sister and Kuro's younger sister (I really like both of them such as Adonis' older sisters)

Idk how this turned on to a ramble and I'm sorry if you don't wanna read allat but it felt good to let everything out 😭😭😭

i would love to enjoy everything that stardew valley has to offer but unfortunately i approach this game the same way i approach real life: avoid all social interaction and tend to my garden in belligerent silence

I'm really glad elyss came several years before melliwyk, because mel's alignment shift from chaotic neutral to chaotic good sometimes feels a little embarrassing in an 'I can't keep my own feelings to myself for the sake of committing to the bit' sort of way, but the counterpoint to that is that elyss, steadfastly true neutral, just simply Does Not Care about anyone other than her own loved ones or anything outside her own immediate interest no matter how much I sometimes wish she would

[urzfanclub]

moot point bc everyone says this about the 2-diag options in 3 but i wish we had the choice to agree w wrex when he says he doesnt trust stg/the dalatrass to keep their word re the genophage cure

i think the reason why im so drawn to spirit tracks and pkmn scarvi is that having the legendary/princess as a companion rather than a goal that marks the games completion makes me feel satisfied the way i would after helping a friend

my brother always teases me about how I still havent finished botw after almost 7 years bc "id rather be out picking flowers" which i wont say is untrue. and yes i know Zeldas been holding off ganon for 100 years, yes i can get some sort of idea what her relationship with link was like by recalling memories and going through her diary. ive always loved botw for its unique storytelling and setting which makes it stand out, because it lets you get to know who you're saving.

but because theyre memories, it only works if theres something for the player to investigate that already happened. its retroactive (but effective nonetheless)

on the other hand, spirit tracks does something similar but instead of having the player try to piece together memories and interpret them as a spectator, you actually have an opportunity to get to know zelda yourself by talking to her and working together. besides making it a gameplay mechanic, giving the player control over how they interact with zelda makes it so much more personable.

and I find that making the goal feel personal instead of an obligation gives me more of a reason to work towards it. I know what kind of person botw zelda was but as the player, shes still very much a stranger to me. but spirit tracks zelda? thats my friend!!!! she invited me to go to the beach after we get her body back!!! i dont want to whip her to make her move faster thats mean :(

you know how hostage negotiators are trained to introduce themselves and get to know the person theyre negotiating with because its harder to hurt someone when you know what their favorite food is? its kinda like that, because it feels like im helping a friend than being told or led to do smth

and although i havent played scarvi myself, i feel an attachment to koraidon and miraidon even just watching playthrough clips because its like!! thats my weird scaly dog!! it loves sandwiches and we're friends!!! you know!!!!!!

Sten ruined all other rpg companions for me tbh.* Like it’s so easy in other games to cheese the approval systems and you can kind of worm your way into any friendship through sweet talking, even if you’re making game choices that they don’t approve of. And yeah you can buy stens love with pretty landscapes (another stellar character moment I love him so much) but if we’re looking at pure choices you can get him to like you through a) being an asshole that agrees with him or b) being an asshole who hates everything he says and is willing to fight him on it. He just LOVES when you want to beat his ass. How can anyone else compare for me?

Do you have any regrets?

one of my small, petty, and evil pleasures is completely ignoring my roommate when she's just babbling for my attention. just going about my life in silence like she's not even there. it drives her mad i know it does
