"Makes sense," Jeremy nodded solemnly before cracking a slightly guilty smile. "Sorry about that."
If he had been a man with more of an ego, he would easily have been suckered in by Roux's easy charm and small jibes, which would have had him feeling like he had to try and prove his point and just end up losing money along the route. But Jeremy Johnson knew when he was beat, and sometimes it wasn't worth picking the fight. Why bother, when you could have a far more interesting chat instead!
"Yeah, I mean, I just think it's fascinating. I know you seem way better at engaging passers-by than a lot of buskers I've seen- Maybe it's the fact it's more interactive? Whereas people can just turn the buskers into background music?" Jeremy was just thinking out loud now, but there was a way this could come in handy!

I need Brennan to win an award. I need the world to know how exceptional a storyteller he is. How do you plan something like this?
I’m suddenly seeing the rat grinders as a sort of self insert for him. Not character-wise, but as tools for writing a mystery. Usually you start with the solution and work backwards. Brennan had to concoct this solution and prepare for every possible thing that the best DnD players he’s ever known might do to crack his story wide open. He needed an entire party of character foils whose primary goal was to cover their tracks and account for periphery details to outsmart The Bad Kids. An unfathomable amount of work to be able to tell this story at the pace it’s being told.
I found myself remarking earlier in the season how much planning and foreknowledge he had to have to have the variety of dome projections from @caitmayart he does and now I realize that’s just scratching the surface.
#three hours of the most shell shocking reveals AND HE TOPS IT OFF WITH THE PING PONG BALLS#IM SO MINDBLOWN AND ANGRY AND ALSO AMAZED AND INPRESSED BY THE PING PONG BALLS#Emmy for game changer? give me an Emmy for dimension 20#dimension 20#fantasy high#fantasy high junior year#fhjy#I don’t wanna be like I totally saw it coming bc I clearly DIDNT!#but Brennan talking about the vulture dimension and saying that this is the season where they pay for their old bits#like Porter being so significant in this season already there was No Way we wouldn’t call back to Emily sussing him out day one#and its like fuck it was right in front of us the whole time. the information was always there

OFF With Humble Zacharies and A Molting Bad Batter
#off#off game#off zacharie#zacharie off#off the batter#bad batter#my art#fanart#Playing around with my Zach design again hehe#I feel like I'm getting *somewhat* satisfied with how I design Zacharie hehe#I'm still forever playing with him but for now this verison of him is really fun to sculp!!#I feel like I'm really giving him a solid his frog motif no matter the mask#As for The Batter piece: it's a concept of how I imagine he 'molts' into Bad Batter#With molting; nothing quite changes its simply the animal getting bigger and breaking free from its old shell#Batter as always been Badder; nothing truly changed. He's just bigger now/you can see him fully this way#I'm will forever workshopping but for now I really like how it turned out hehe

Five likes and I clean and fix them (except the PS1, that's just an empty shell for some reason??)


#for context#my dad serving seven years in prison and no longer has his house#my aunt went to his house and among other things gave me these boxes#these were my dad's old consoles#being the weirdo console collector that i am i ate that shit up#i need to test them but i cant right now#i need hdmi converters and cables and stuff#game console#retro gaming#retro consoles#console collecting#ps i have no idea why the ps1 is just a shell

Natlan is gorgeous but miHoYo babygirl where tf are the chests and open world challenges what happened to every nook and cranny being rewarding to explore what happened to things not being big just for the sake of being big actually really bummed about this
#genshin#genshin impact#natlan#I’m a treasure hunting girlie in this game#I have been excited for new treasure hunting and exploration for months since clearing Fontaine#and all we get is empty plateaus and empty planes and empty walls#with saurians to climb them but literally no reward for doing so#also the saurian gameplay is already getting a little old and I haven’t even moved beyond echos yet#at least the music slaps!#and the plot is intriguing#just a huge letdown on the exploration front#not even running into any open world puzzles yet#it’s just#empty shell of a landscape#f; genshin

Tamagotchi Paradise World Tour Preview Event @ MCM London 2025
youtube
You can switch through the different characters and play with them, feed them, and clean them individually
The games for individual tamas are a lot like the games from the classic tamagotchis, like the one where you guess which way the tama will turn.
There's also footage of the egg hunt, where it looks like you get random supplies.
You can travel to a lot of different planets and get things to decorate your home planet (kinda wished there was more to visiting other planets but oh well)
You can change your tama's color!
Zooming in and out looks a little finicky; like, it looks like it takes more than one full turn to zoom in/out, and it's a bit difficult to do it one-handed, judging by the video. This might just be because they were filming on their phone, though.
Overall, it looks really interesting, the sound is good and chirpy which i like, and the spritework is amazing for such a small scale!
#tamagotchi#tamagotchi paradise#tamagotchi paradise spoilers#tamagotchi spoilers#i do wish they had more shell colors but oh well#it really does look fun#though the animations do take a long time#i can imagine that cute little dance animation when you get to a planet getting old after awhile#i had hoped there would be Tamaverse interactivity on the other planets#like a food shop a game and an accessory shop#but i guess you don't dress up your tamas in this one so i get why there aren't any accessory shops#maybe there are more items to get at each planet and what you get is random#you do have to save up poop to travel#so it's not like you can rush traveling to one over and over to get all the items#and do you get all those planets from the beginning or do you discover new planets as you play?#still lots of questions :D#can't wait for this to release it's gonna be so fun#Youtube

cw BLOOD!!!!
2003 Kinder Yuuichi doodles motivated by this one battle sprite of him with this goofy face ... (also 2003 shunsuke appears there too did I need to draw him differently from my design of him no did i do it anyway yes)
Wanna doodle him more but first I'll be figuring out what's being said in the game ... Do not want to mischaracterize him even if he's slightly different so for now THE SILLY
#re:kinder#except it's kinder but still counts same game just its original shell#yuuichi mizuoka#my art#do yall think the things yuuichi summons are like his ocs or something#he has a very vivid imagination#SPECIALLY IN KINDER i mean honestly its not irrealistic imagery from the mind of an 8 year old#BUT HE HAS QUITE THE VARIETY OF MONSTERS HE CAN COME UP WITH#genuinely wanna know the context of why he summons creepy ol monsters there and then theres mistresses in rekinder#is that like. symbolic of his character in the remake#THATS WHY IM TRYNA NOT DOODLE 2003 YUUICHI TOO MUCH RIGJT NOW#I HAVE A FEELING THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT I REFUSE TO MISCHARACTERIZE#anyway ramble over#that one doodle on the bottom left is based on his silly lil menu icon#like everyone else has a rounndd baby face big bright eyes innocent look#and then theres him looking like the devil emoji#it got a nice chuckle out of me#DUDE IS *NOT* DISIMULATING😭😭😭😭

Jesus Christ??? This is what I was bitching about yesterday. Pricegouging but for video games. What the fuck y'all. What the fuck Nintendo?
#nintendo switch 2#switch 2#90 dollars for a physical copy thats just a glorified one-use code.#nobody NOBODY NOBODY#loves whatever franchise enough to buy something new at that price#unless its limited edition or a special rare promo item#we pay prices like that for rare things like old NES games or rare Game Boy shells#there is no way you are even coming close to justifying those prices dude

I have been begging game developers to use colors besides brown and gray for literally more than two decades now
but that doesn't mean I want a whole generation of games that look and sound like a fuckin 1990s sugary breakfast cereal commercial
#yeah I'm talking about that one studio's game line up announcement video/interview from today#no I am not going to name the studio#iykyk#but someone explain to me why everything except the mech game looks like it's being marketed to 7 year olds?#why do I feel like the Honeycomb monster is going to pop out and jumpscare me?#why is a hardcore PVP game sporting more candy-shell bright shiny colors than a wall of nailpolish?#what do I call this thing that's the opposite of grimdark and how do I scrub the LSD visuals out of my eyeballs?#and hey while I'm vague post hating:#why are game devs so universally bad at delivering PR-written scripted lines?#why do they all sound so terminally cringe?#ffs#2025 mood#video games

are you excited for xcxde?
im gonna be honest. not really ? dont get me wrong i do wanna replay xbcx and if i havent yet then im obviously never going to on wii u so i Will get xbcxde eventually but im gonna wait until i can pick it up either secondhand or on sale Lol
#ask#anonymous#admin shulk#tbh i dont really buy new games anymore. 100$ is just a lot of fucking money sorry ! ive got old games i can play#plus as everyone knows i just dont really care for monolith or what they do so im apprehensive abt whatever new content theyre adding#so why bother shelling out that much money for a game i already own but with extras i may only feel lukewarm about

Boy, I sure love videogames! Would be nice to play them one of these days.
#I kid#sorta#the issue is all the art/writing stuff I want to do#I want it done so bad that doing anything else feels like a waste#but there's people on the dashboard talking about pokemon and splatoon and old Mario games I haven't played before#and it has me very curious#But I haven't even beaten LOZTOTK so like... am I really going to shell out 60$ for a new game?#might be best to just keep enjoying games by proxy
