EXCUSE ME???? ????

[grimmgrinningghouls]

You can hate snail games without shitting on ark. Just saying.

Snail games is fucking awful. Utter dogshit, terrible company that deserves to go under but hating ark because of their actions is just childish.

Ark is wildcards game. Not snails. Snail didn't create ark, ark was made by a group of passionate developers who wanted to make something. I'm not saying it's like that now, and I'm not saying wildcard is flawless, but they are doing their best. They are fighting against a shitty company like snail to keep nfts and microtransactions out of the game while dealing with fuckwads sending them and their families death threats over a dinosaur game.

Hoping that asa, ark 2, and ase fail, 'boycotting' it, and sending people death threats because a bad company is taking advantage of a game studio and their game is dumb as hell and makes you look like a whiny bitch.

My friends and I are talking about how games are just dogshit and non-optimal nowadays, and I think the solution is to just go back to making games a physical media again. Limited size, forces you to clean/optimize your code, and doesn't absolutely eat your computer to install it.

Sure, games will be shorter, or look "worse"- but if developers lack the creativity to work around that, maybe they need to rethink their approach to games, you now? How integral is it to your first person shooter for it to look like the real thing? Can your game possibly function without taking up 100+GB on my computer? Why not? If your game was sold on a disc, it was sold as a finished product, or not at all.

As convenient as digital copies has been, I think stepping back from it to return to physical media should be an important step in getting games to be a functional medium again. I shouldn't have to update my computer's storage every 2 years or otherwise keep installing and uninstalling games that I can't even be certain I'll still own down the line.

Rest In Peace Thick44, aka the wyvern king. I think ark should make a monument on the Ragnorak map in honor of thick and being the wyvern king. Neebs gaming will never be the same. Fly high king.

Souls of the Ark: Brutal Boss Battles in Ark 2 Gameplay

Introduction

Ark 2 gameplay

With the much awaited successor to “Ark: Survival Evolved,” Ark 2 which has vast open environments, demanding gameplay elements, and improved graphics, the survival game genre is primed for a revolution. In Ark 2 gameplay, a game created by Studio Wildcard, players are envelop in an immersive landscape with prehistoric species. To endure, players must depend on their intelligence, available resources, and specialized skills. Fans old and new will both enjoy Vin Diesel’s job as an executive director and well-known personality.

Better graphics and realism

Iconic elements of Ark 2 gameplay include its updated graphics engine, which promises realistic images. Using the latest Unreal Engine technology, the game has realistic character models, rich settings, and dynamic weather. World species like dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals are depicted with incredible detail. The visual fidelity boosts immersion and adds strategy as players explore a fully alive world.

Players can freely explore the expansive open environment in Ark 2 gameplay. Biomes with unique flora and fauna dot the gaming environment. Different habitats inspire exploration and discovery, from lush jungles to parched deserts. The game has a dynamic ecology where players and creatures alter it. Predators, weather, and natural disasters make survival difficult. This interconnected environment lends richness and insures unique playthroughs.

Crafting and Survival

The survival aspects of the first game are fundamentally retained in “Ark 2”. Building shelters, crafting tools and weapons, and gathering resources are all necessary for survival. Additional products and personalisation options are provided by expanded and improved crafting. In addition to developing technology and taming and riding dinosaurs, you may construct defensive bases. With the help of a skill tree, players can focus on combat, crafting, or exploration.

Plot, characters

More structure is added to “Ark 2″‘s story. Vin Diesel plays Santiago, a seasoned survivor with a mystery past, in the game‘s well-developed tale featuring dramatic sequences and voice acting. Exploration and character interaction reveal lore and plot components in the game universe. This narrative complexity makes the game more emotional and enticing for survival.

Community, multiplayer

The “Ark” experience revolves around multiplayer. Players can team up with friends or fight other tribes in Ark 2’s cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes. Dedicated servers and powerful community tools let gamers construct and run their own servers with custom rules and settings. Players can develop and share new creatures, equipment, maps, and game modes via mod support, extending the game‘s longevity.

AI and Animal Behaviour

In Ark 2 gameplay the AI and creature behaviour systems are much improved. Hunting in groups, caring for their young, and responding to dangers are more natural for dinosaurs and other species. Players must anticipate and adapt to creature behaviours with this upgraded AI, making environmental interactions more complex and rewarding. The upgraded AI lets human NPCs establish alliances, trade, and assault, adding complexity to the game.

Ecological Change and Dynamic Events

“Ark 2” emphasises dynamic occurrences and environmental interaction. Players can set traps or barriers to secure their bases. Games are unpredictable due to natural calamities, meteor showers, and seasonal variations, forcing participants to alter their methods. Players can find rare materials and secrets during these events.

Player Accessibility and Experience

The focus of Studio Wildcard’s Ark 2 gameplay. is on player experience and accessibility. With the game’s comprehensive instructions and adjustable difficulty settings, players of all skill levels may play. Simple controls and streamlined inventory management are examples of QoL features that allow players to concentrate on the immersion of the game without being sidetracked by gameplay mechanics. To address faults and enhance the game, the developers will also give frequent updates and welcome user feedback.

Tech Innovations and Potential

“Ark 2” is a technical first for the franchise. The visual and gameplay realism of survival games is enhanced by contemporary technology like as real-time ray tracing and intricate physics simulations. As the video game industry develops, “Ark 2” will be able to capitalise on new software and technology to maintain its position as the best in its genre. The game will keep gamers interested for years to come with downloadable content and updates.

Ark 2 release date

Ark 2, widely expected follow-up to Ark: Survival Evolved, is set to premiere December 13, 2024. Fans will have an interesting dinosaur survival game with improved visuals, new gameplay aspects, and a compelling narrative starring Vin Diesel on store. Fans of the franchise as well as experienced players should find the game which will be available on PC and Xbox series X|S an interesting trip.

Conclusion

The survival experience in Ark 2 gameplay is more active than in the first game. Amazing graphics, a big open world, well-polished gameplay, and an interesting story will make this game fun for both experienced and new gamers. While Vin Diesel gives the game a Hollywood feel, the clever AI and dynamic events make each playtime fresh and hard. At the rate Studio Wildcard is improving the game, Ark 2 gameplay could become a survival game classic.

I forgot how much I love playing ARK <333

[grimmgrinningghouls]

Stop blaming WC for Snail games actions. They are fighting for their lives to keep ark balanced and keep cheating out of the game but snail games literally blackmails them into letting them cheat.

Its time we as ark players stop standing idly by. Spread the word, stop letting snail games get away with this.

[riptide-if]

Your dad has always said you swim as if your were born to be in the water; the rest of your family has always said that he is the whole reason you turned out like that.

So, it's not really a surprise when you had used all the money you got for your 7th birthday to buy a surfboard. And even less of a surprise when you started joining small surf competitions by the time you were 10, later followed by bigger competitions.

It seems you are the only one surprised when it turns out you're able to compete in the World Surfer's League's Ultimate Tournament Tour*.

Thrown into a mix of fellow surfing prodigies, rookies, and pros, do you really have what it takes to win?

RIPTIDE is a 18+ slice-of-life interactive fiction that includes optional sexual content, alcohol and drug use, coarse language, mentions of death of a parent, and dysfunctional families.

Arlo Song [male, he/him], your best friend’s twin brother.

Reliable and patient, Arlo is the poster child for the 'boy next door' trope. Arlo, despite living in Hawai'i since he was 13, has never been one for beaches or sports, choosing to spend his day in an art studio rather than on the beach, unlike most of the people he knows, including his twin sister; Aria. He's always kept you at arms length for reasons you aren't quite sure about.

Hilo Kalua Mahoe [nonbinary, they/them], your childhood best friend.

Apathetic and reserved, Hilo has been by your side since before you can remember (though your family has many pictures to prove this). Hilo is your exceptionally talented unofficial-official photographer, has been for years, and is accompanying you on the UTT. Ever since you were kids you’ve been hearing comments that Hilo is prickly or mean, but they’re never like that with you.

Elijah/Elaine Lee Ferguson [gender selectable], your rockstar ex.

Impulsive and (seemingly) confident E, more commonly known as ‘Lee Rex’ on stage and just Lee to their friends, is exactly what one would expect out of a rockstar. Your meeting with Lee was purely by coincidence, during their US tour, a show that a couple of your friends dragged you to— though if you knew that know you probably wouldn’t have agreed to go. Whatever Lee was like as your partner is long gone now; evident by all the photos they’ve posted making out with someone on their Instagram story.

Noemia/Nikita Azevedo [gender selectable], your wildcard competitor.

Charismatic and arrogant, N has already made a name for themselves in the surfing community. After placing in the final five in the last UTT, they’ve been chosen as a wildcard this time around. Really, you don’t know all that much about N, considering you’ve never even met them, but from your limited research (e.g: watching interviews on YouTube) you can tell they’re.. a bit of a flirt. It’s hard to tell if a facade or not; but you don’t really want to find out, either.

Mr. Puzzles Fluff Alphabet

Requested by… Me!

Coming out of hibernation ‘cause there is not enough Mr. Puzzles x Reader content out there so I am contributing to the pile because the hyperfixation I have on this man has me in a fucking death-grip.

It is 2 in the morning when I’m posting this so yippie brain-rot!!!

Anyways alphabet under the cut :D

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Very. I mean you are kind of the only person who’s ever bothered to get close to him!

He was extremely clingy when the two of you were just friends, but now that you’re his partner? That’s increased tenfold.

He’s very unpredictable so he’s pretty much a wildcard when it comes to ways he’ll show affection.

Sometimes he’ll gently pull you along by grabbing your wrist, sometimes he’ll nuzzle into your hair or neck, maybe he’ll cup your face like you’re a glass sculpture that might shatter, and sometimes he’ll just pick you up and twirl you around. Honestly? This lovable director will show you any kind of physical affection under the sun.

I do think he particularly would like to hold your hand though. He likes the warmth of your hand in his, and how it’s so small compared to his. It’s like your hand was just made for him to hold!

Overall, any physical affection is fine by him as long as he gets to touch or hold you!

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend?)

I fear having this man as a best friend because that means chaos.

Yes being in a romantic relationship with him would be chaos, but a friendship I feel would be more chaotic somehow???

Will break your door down to get an opinion on a new show he’s been working on, and will absolutely pester you until you comply.

Would probably get you to star in said show and then poke fun at you the entire time. Lovingly of course mind you!

Lots of talk sessions where the two of you just talk shit about other people because this man lives for drama, like wants the tea on everyone.

Would break into your house at 2 in the morning to steal food like a fucking rat (I say this in a loving way).

Anyways being besties with him means say goodbye to your doors because he’s kicking them all down to get your attention.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Cuddling is definitely a must!!! Like he would love to cuddle!!!

This man has no preference to cuddling he just wants to hold you close to him! Definitely big spoon no questions asked, but he also loves having you lay on his chest.

I think his favorite way to cuddle though would be on his side with you snuggled into his chest. You would probably look very small compared to him like his body would basically envelop yours, but hey he’d be very warm at least! Mr. Puzzles would probably just lazily comb through your hair with the goofiest smile on his face, whispering little words of affirmation under his breath as he did so.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they around the house?)

Oh definitely! But, after he becomes all rich and famous! He wants the best life for you after all!

Definitely a housewife though when he’s not busy working on his shows, like this man is a workaholic. I genuinely think he enjoys cleaning and repetitive tasks in general, helps him think.

When working on his shows or stressed? Yeah no the living space can easily become a train-wreck as he gets increasingly more frustrated over whatever he’s working on.

You could probably leave the studio on any given day, and either come back to it spotless or a wreck. There’s like a 50/50 shot whenever you leave.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

Nuh-uh, not happening, you are literally stuck with him now, and he is NEVER LETTING YOU GO. :)

Yeah that’s definitely not concerning! Good luck my guy because Mr. Puzzles has some attachment issues, and will not leave you no matter what you do!

But hey! You probably won’t get to leave him either! At least he won’t let you without a fight! (Get this man some therapy or something)

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Very big on commitment honestly part of him wants all of your attention to himself, but he loves you enough to not go that far.

I think he’d be kinda iffy on marriage. On one hand he could throw this big event for the two of you, letting everyone know you’re his.

On the other, he’s fine not getting married at all! As far as he’s concerned as long as you’re completely committed to him romantically there’s not really a reason to get married?

Honestly whether he gets married to you or not would depend on your preference.

Would probably still get you an engagement ring of some kind no matter what your answer is, just so others’ know you’re committed to someone.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Oh my god this man? Gentle as a feather physically. Emotionally? He tries to be as gentle as he can, but that temper gets the better of him sometimes.

He holds you like you are glass about to shatter, like he’s holding the most precious thing in the world.

Cups your face in his gloved hand and just admires you like the most beautiful art piece ever created. Might even lightly bump his screen against your head wondering how he got so lucky.

Most of the time he’s a bit aloof regarding your emotions he likes to tease you after all!

But in serious moments his tone will get noticeably softer as he listens, and tries to help you with whatever you are dealing with in anyway he can.

Now granted, Puzzles gets frustrated easily, and might lash out at you occasionally or straight up manipulate you, but he tries to make up for it.

Just be patient with him.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? What are their hugs like?)

Yes.

Hugs are a constant thing with this man he loves to hug and hold you. Though he will probably pick you up to hold you.

Most of the time he’ll come up from behind, pick you up, spin you around a bit, saying something like “There’s my little angel!”, and then hug you!

Definitely puts his screen to your head and makes a loud “mwah!” sound.

He’s a dork when it comes to hugging he wants to make you smile, that and he just likes having you close to him.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

After you get together?

All. The. Time.

Not in a bad way of course he wants you to know he absolutely adores you! Words of affirmation are part of his love language after all!

Says stuff like “I love you my precious starlight.” or “Gosh you’re just so cute! I truly do love you when you give me that look my dear!”

He is serious every time he says it though, but will not hesitate to fluster you with that phrase.

Can imagine him saying “I love you.” in a low husky voice to make you weak in the knees.

He likes to see you get all red in the face and become a stuttering mess. He’s a tease like that. :)

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Puzzles has attachment issues this man gets extremely jealous very quickly.

If he thinks anyone is getting even a little touchy with you? He’s walking over, putting his arms around you, and talking to the offender with fake enthusiasm and venom in his voice.

The person doesn’t get the hint? Lightly veiled threats start coming out.

Would resort to violence as a last resort.

If it’s a more light version of jealousy he’ll probably dramatically pout in the corner with his arms crossed until you come over and give him attention.

He’s very dramatic with jealously like a dog not getting attention when it wants it.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Uhhhh I mean he has a TV for a head he can’t exactly kiss you per se.

But Puzzles tries to make it work! Most commonly he’ll gently tap his screen to your head or hands with a little electric shock to give the illusion of an actual kiss.

Is not much for you kissing his screen though since he’ll have to clean it afterwards…

But you want to get this man to melt into you? He loves being kissed on the neck, or on the bottom of his TV, might as well send sparks through his entire body. Would definitely love neck bites as well.

Honestly would not care where you kiss him he’s just happy getting your affection.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

I think he’d be pretty good around children at least outwardly.

Probably would be trying to entertain them with cartoons or little puppet shows.

Do not think he’d actively put himself in a situation to be around children though. I don’t think he likes them very much.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Puzzles would get up without waking you, get dressed, get some coffee, and then would make the two of you breakfast.

You typically tend to wake up before he’s finished, but if you aren’t then he’ll gladly give you breakfast in bed!

Would make fun of you for being a sleepyhead though.

Mornings with Puzzles would start off quiet, but get progressively louder as you both wake up a bit.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

I feel like nights go one of two ways.

Either A. Chaotic as hell or B. Actually nice

A chaotic as hell night includes Mr. Puzzles having some sort of mental break which results in him overworking himself and refusing to go to sleep and/or him frantically at a board with a bunch of papers on it trying to come up with ideas.

While this rarely happens it can if his shows aren’t doing as well as he would like or if you’re gone for long periods of time. The best thing to do here is gently talk to him and get him away from his area of work to help him calm down. A nice cup of hot tea or hot cocoa would help as well!

A nice night is more common though since Puzzles does think sleep is important. Probably ends with the two of you winding down by either cuddling in bed or watching TV (an actual TV though not his head he likes being able to hold you) while you two have blankets and/or hot tea to sip on.

Alternatively you two will cuddle in bed and just talk about whatever comes to mind until you two fall asleep.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

He’s pretty open about his past but not so much about what he doesn’t want you to see.

He shares stories from when he was a kid a lot, mainly about his mom, (I get a huge mama’s boy vibe from him) or his struggles making friends and connections until you showed up.

Also talks about his frustrations about getting into directing shows and how no corporate big shot would give him a chance so that’s how he made his own company! Also loves talking about ideas for new shows or really anything that comes to mind this man has no filter and just says what pops in his head.

He does not talk about things he doesn’t want you to know. Mainly that he smokes but he’s also definitely done some fucked up stuff in the past to get where he is today so he keeps that under wraps.

Wouldn’t want his darling angel to worry about those little hiccups~

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

We are literally talking about the person who sang about how ‘patience is a virtue uttered by fools’ this man has close to none.

He gets very frustrated and angry when things don’t go how he planned them to. He also can get frustrated if you don’t tell him things.

While he never tries to direct his anger at you he tends to lash out when frustrated and says things he doesn’t mean. However, he would probably apologize in the end if he really hurt you with his words.

Would never think of getting physically violent with you though he would much rather cut off his own head again than do that.

It would be very odd hot to see the man who holds you so gently be able to so easily make a sizable dent in a metal object.

Definitely has punched many holes in the walls and covered it up with something.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

My guy.

My buddy.

This man will remember every little thing you have told him about anything you like. He has a little notebook dedicated to writing little details about you so he doesn’t forget.

Knows just about everything you’ve either off-handedly mentioned about yourself or straight up told him.

Has various things written down like your favorite color, food, drink, cartoon, etc. Like literally anything you can think of that you could say about yourself he probably has written down.

Also has a page just describing how much he loves your looks down to the littlest detail but that’s not as important.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

When you two officially became partners.

He was so anxious to ask on the inside but kept the outwardly performance up as he was desperately trying to figure out how to go about it.

He broke one night and frantically made a board full of ideas for what he could do, but none of them were good enough! You deserved so much more than-than this!

You just so happened to walk into this scenario but Mr. Puzzles didn’t notice you as he was too focused on his board. You heard him muttering to himself about how “this had to be perfect” and “no, no that wouldn’t-”.

You eventually got concerned and walked up to him, accidentally scaring the living daylights out of him by the way, and as he tried to stutter something out you realized just what the board was about.

You then looked at him as he was still trying to come up with an excuse and just looked at him with wide eyes as you just blurted “And here I was scrambling to figure out a way to ask you out myself.”.

Puzzles just stared at you wide eyes and shouted “Wait really!?”

Anyways that night ended with you two just watching a movie on the couch and you’ve been together ever since.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you?)

Oh very protective.

Like you get scary tall guard dog partner privileges.

Most of the time if you’re with Puzzles no one would really dare to try anything because of how tall your TV man is, but on the off chance some asshole wants to try his luck?

Well Puzzles most definitely has a kill count.

In actuality he’d probably make threats towards the person, never getting outwardly aggressive as he doesn’t like to be the one fighting, but if the aggressor tries to touch you?

All bets are fucking off.

Despite what his personality may suggest to you if it comes down to it this man can pack a punch if need be. He is deceptively strong for how he looks and could easily beat a man to death if he wanted to.

While the fight would not end with the aggressor’s death as Puzzles does not want to kill someone in front of you, there is a good chance that person might end up mysteriously dead with no evidence tracing the murder back to him later down the line.

This man is slightly unhinged when it comes to keeping you safe.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

This is Mr. Puzzles we’re talking about he’s going all out!

Would definitely have a fancy dinner or something equally extravagant. I can see him liking to slow dance with you in a ballroom if given the chance.

If you prefer more casual dates then hey he’s up for that too! He’s paying though no ifs, ands, or buts about it! He loves movie dates and stargazing as date ideas.

Anniversaries are an all out occasion he’s standing his ground on that one because it’s special date and he wants the entire day to be special to the both of you.

Tries to get you gifts he knows you’ll like instead of fancy things though.

Okay maybe one or two pretty rings and such but mainly things you’d actually enjoy or give that big smile at receiving. I think gift giving is one of his love languages after all so expect to have lots of little trinkets.

He tries his best to make you smile everyday so he tries a lot for you.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

He has some… unfavorable aspects of himself he doesn’t want you knowing the true extent of.

He does not want you to know he smokes as he thinks it’s an undesirable habit and always deflects any questions about why he might smell like smoke or any cigarettes you might find.

His temper also gets the best of him at times leading to him lashing out and making dumb decisions that he tends to regret if he thinks about it too much. Though he has wrangled it in around you it can be explosive and violent when you aren’t around to witness the full extent of it.

He is also very obsessive with you and he knows it. It’s definitely toxic obsession as well because at his worst moments mentally he has debated keeping you to himself and not letting you leave. He’s also considered sabotaging all of your relationships so you only rely on him and no one else.

A dark part of him wants to keep you all to himself so no one can take you away from him ever.

Thankfully, he respects and loves you too much to act on those thoughts but god rest the poor soul that does anything bad to you because odds are…

Their life is on a very short timer.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Oh my god yes.

Yes he so is.

He wants to look his best around you 24/7 all day every day and somehow does not even have to try for it.

He needs to always look presentable because a good director should always look ready all the time!

Is dramatic as fuck if his shirt gets wrinkled or something like damsel with their hand on their head going “my poor husband” dramatic.

He’s very silly like that and you love him for it.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

Yes.

You are the only person who ever really tried to get to know him, who puts up with his silly shenanigans, and who he fell in love with.

Truthfully without you? He’d completely lose it mentally because you are his rock. The one person he knows can pull him back from the darkest corners of his mind.

Not that you’d ever know this but Mr. Puzzles does. He knows that now that he has you he would not be able to live without you and continue to pretend to be even remotely sane.

X = Xtra (Random HC)

Plays his dreams or soft static on his screen when he’s in a deep sleep.

Claps his hands when excited and fidgets with his suspenders a lot.

Also makes tons of motions with his hands while he talks.

Y = You (How would they talk about you?)

This goes one of two ways.

Either he’s all giddy and cheerful like a schoolgirl with a massive crush or sounds very concerning as he talks about you like a follower would a god.

Pick your poison because both are accurate it just depends on how he’s feeling that day.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

Will. Not. Let. Go.

Like if you wake up before him you are not getting up because he has the grip of a koala and probably has his arms and legs wrapped all around you.

But sometimes if you wake up before him he ends up in the funniest positions like sprawled out in ways that should break his bones. It can be very funny and disturbing at the same time.

[moderndaypandora]

scenarios i think about that are very good and a gift for me personally with the dead boy detectives, in no particular order:

the agency solving a case for a dead motorcyclist and as payment receiving his spectral motorbike (invisible unless crystal or somebody else living is riding it). why? purely so charles can be delighted and insist on taking it for a joyride with edwin. "charles, we have mirrors, this is incredibly inefficient." "mate, that's not the point. now get on and hold tight." maybe there's a sidecar but the boys insist on sharing the seat For Reasons and edwin clutches charles' waist tightly.

mandated movie nights with a selection rota. charles picking any movie he loved in life, or where there's latin (so a lot of horror/exorcism films), just because it riles edwin up and he goes on a tirade about how terrible it is. shout out to Monty Python's Life of Brian where the bad latin is called out in-text and corrected, leaving edwin stymied but then pleased. edwin picks a lot of Jane Austen or literary adaptations, because he's likely heard of or actually read the source material, and niko loves a romance. (Bridgerton is either a smashing success or a terrible failure, with edwin Averting His Eyes at the first sex scene regardless.) crystal has a long list of cult classics, usually of the 'so bad they're good' variety, or Formative Queer Films like Rocky Horror. niko's a wildcard. one night it'll be Studio Ghibli, the next will be Barbie. jenny defaults to Tim Burton when it's her turn, and will complain bitterly about movie night even as she always attends.
