#jesus christ I'm so fucking done

[chonideno]

literally where can the zelda franchise go after totk. this is it. we've reached it. the pinnacle of video game entertainment. the whole dev team should just pack their stuff and enjoy a long and comfortable retirement. whoever decides their team has to follow-up on that with the next zelda game should answer for their crimes at the hague. what the fuck. I haven't even beat the game yet but what the fuck.

and how are AAA video game devs everywhere not losing their minds. how the hell did nintendo do any of that? and on that console?? you mean to tell me I can stack 15 differently shaped objects on top of each other and they don't vibrate violently into the skybox?? you mean to tell me the physics engine gladly accepts whatever I throw at it and holds it all together without dropping a frame while running on a machine that was outclassed two generations ago??? this is not witchcraft it's a grandiose demonstration of mastery over every aspect of game development that casts an immense shadow over every other AAA studio. fuck. fuck!!!!

everything about this game is crazy to me. the visuals are crazy. the soudtrack is crazy. the complexity of all systems and how they interact is crazy. the sheer amount of non-repeating content, NPCs, quests, dialogue, puzzles, environment variety - all crazy to me. every time I boot up this game I am humbled by the monumental effort and obvious love that went into every facet of the resulting experience. no cut corners anywhere. mirror-perfect chrome polish.

it's so rare we get something like that, in any field. I'd understand if nintendo never made a zelda game ever again because how do you follow that. god I hope everyone who worked on this game got the fattest check and the sloppiest head. I'm so happy I get to live in shigeru miyamoto's world

i cannot stop thinking about anissa and marky though [COMIC SPOILERS]

how did he react when he learned what his mother did? just like mark, he lived a lie. he thought his mother was kind and nice — the only thing that is true is that she loved him, but now, he has no idea if he should believe it

and. you've grown up being conditioned to believe that violence is peace, and that kindness is a lie and a weakness. you hurt people. by hurting a person, by destroying him irreparably, you found the boy you love most: your son. and you don't regret it. you hope one day, once he sees him, he'll get it. but you still don't regret it. you can't say you're sorry

marky will grow up without his biological father, because when mark hugs him he can only remember his mother and what she did to him. your father can't love you the way your mom did. you can't love your mother the way your father loved his

the worst part is, that it she hadn't done it, you wouldn't have existed. you wouldn't be here. your father will grow to love you. you will grow to accept each other. but you tend to wonder — if he never sees you as anything else other than your mother's son, then who will you have when everyone else you know dies?

there IS something very funny about AU luz's "unusual permissiveness" with hunter hearkening back to their childhoods. luz out here like "hunter can do literally anything he wants forever because i do not have as many rules as my tragically late father and i think hunter should have nice things" and then it's like

amity: he's terrorizing the scouts.

luz: he is a friend and a boy :)

amity: he's a BITCH--

luz: --and i like him so much :D

can I just say something. I think we've warped the idea of consent and self care so far that they've come to mean you never have to do anything that makes you been a tad uncomfortable to benefit anyone else (or yourself but that's another discussion). sometimes you have to take a shift at the community kitchen when no one else can even if you're a bit tired. sometimes you have to step in to help a friend in need even though you have an exam the next day. sometimes you have to be there for someone even if you find them a bit distasteful or boring. sometimes you have to find time or energy to protest for a cause even if you don't have so much. when you're in a community you don't just get to 'protect your peace' and 'focus on you' all the time.

I'm not saying you have to martyr yourself for a cause, I'm not saying you have to burn yourself out or force yourself through things you categorically can't do, I'm not saying everything is on you, but I'm saying sometimes (often) following your own ethical code requires pushing through a bit of hardship and being rewarded by the joy of knowing you're doing what's right and that you are a person who knows what they believe and acts on it.

seeing this debate on whether it's ok to block the tags that palestinians fundraise via is making me feel so sick. seeing all these pathetic wetwipes saying they had to block the tags because witnessing even a fraction of these people's pain makes them feel sad and hopeless is disgusting. sometimes you have to stand the fuck up and do whats right even if it's a little bit hard or a little bit upsetting. if you can't reblog a goddamn fundraiser or act on a request in an ask from people living through a goddamn fucking genocide I don't even want to think about the ways you'd let me down if we were in a community together.

me: MY HAIRLINE IS RECEDING OH NO OH FUCK

also me: full time student (worth noting i wrote stupid here at first without realizing), 20-30 hours in customer service every week, teaching myself 3/4 classes, teaching myself advanced algebra with a teacher (basically just a proctor) who shuts down any/all asks for help, juggling college financial woes, navigating dying relationships/people abandoning and/or attacking me bc i don't have time for things i used to anymore, none of my hobbies are making me happy when and if i have time for them,, i have no time for myself, i'm on my second all-nighter this week, i'm perpetually exhausted in a way sleep isn't fixing, my body aches because i'm so tired, and i'm barely able to stay asleep when i do get the chance bc the anxiety wakes me up

my hairline: two hops this time!

Trying to drag real-world ethics into the Batverse is a bad faith argument when absolutely nothing in the Batverse has any ethical or moral standing in the real world.

Real world evils that claim death tolls:

- billionaires

- cops

- vigilanteism

- copaganda (crime-fighting as a genre is libertarian copaganda)

- prison industrial complex

- war on drugs

- child soldiers

- policing entities without democratic or civic transparency or oversight

- finding acceptable targets for your personal trauma and visiting what you believe is justified violence on them

But all of that is fine and good and acceptable as conceits of the universe, EXCEPT the question of "should this rich white guy who appoints himself the protector of the innocent due to the failures of the legal system, actually do something about this guy who keeps killing because of the failure of the legal system?" THAT is somehow above challenge or question. Never mind that turning the concept of "legal incompetence", meant to protect the most vulnerable population in a society, into a loophole for fictional mass murderers is violent ableism and copaganda. Forget taking a deep dive into why exactly killing is bad, or how far a value system can go before it becomes self-serving, or storytelling imperatives or any of that. The only reason any of us could ever take Jason's side (re: the Joker) is that we, in real-life, think that "bad guys should die". Instead of the fact that because nothing works as it should in the Batverse, the Joker's continued existence actively cheapens any moral code that allows it.

You can take whatever side you want to, but get off that horse and actually engage with the question, or fuck off with the dudebros who think "killing a serial killer makes you as bad as a serial killer" has any actual ethical basis.

Recently, I've seen the take going around that you can't be, say, kistunekin and Japanese-American, or faekin and Irish, etc. because it's just you as a human from an ethnic group projecting onto a cultural concept that's meaningful to you and mistaking that for a kintype when it's not. At the risk of starting drama, I am here to ask how one would tell the difference between projecting onto a cultural concept and being 'kin? Asking for a me.

..........Well, I've certainly heard the idea that you can't be [x] without being from [y linked culture] (because that's "cultural appropriation," even when it's... not), but this is the first time I've heard the opposite! Guess nobody's allowed to be a creature from a specific mythos at all anymore lmao

Genuinely I do not know what to tell you other than that is a fucking bonkers thing to say to someone, where the fuck are you hearing this, what wild circle of alterhuman drama am I missing out on. We have graduated from "You can't kin outside your race" to "You can only kin outside your race," what the genuine actual fuck, oh my gods I have been laughing about this for ten minutes now

*deep breath* Okay, sorry, sorry, I'm taking this seriously, I promise.

I am genuinely sorry that you have apparently been made to feel like you're not allowed to have a kintype from within your own culture, but - seriously, genuinely, I need you to understand that that is a RIDICULOUS thing for these people to have said, even by alterhuman drama standards, What The Fuck. There is no reason on God's green earth that you would have to be any more careful about mistaking "projecting onto a cultural concept" for a kintype than literally anyone else would be - like, that's a normal part of the questioning process, "is this actually a kintype or is it something else".

(To which the answer unfortunately is basically "nobody can tell you that except you," typically by answering questions like "does it make me happier to be seen as/referred to as [x]" and "does it feel deeply, intrinsically Right to imagine myself as [x]", etc.)

Hopefully that's at least comforting, if not especially helpful?
