I just want to thank Hiasen (Wanderer), Chuu (Yelan), and Sae (Cyno lovebot anon)(Cyno ofc) for joining the tea party last Sunday! Here are the lovely pictures we took <33

Besides failing our photoshoot many times and standing on hats, we also did a boss rush run after drinking tea!

That was a fun time and I'm still thankful for you all that joined! Until next time, let's hang out again in the future!

ffxvi thoughts and things

gonna do my best to avoid spoilers or discussion about anything specific to plot and mostly just talk about the vibe and feel of the game and my thoughts on it so far, but i did include an out-of-context early screenshot of the game bc it's just such a fucking cool screenshot moment

so i wanna start out by saying i definitely don't like final fantasy games by default. so when it comes to judging final fantasy games, keep my opinion with a grain of salt.

the thing i like most about this game is it's more or less an interactive movie. you do some combat and running around, a few quests, but the gameplay is relatively linear (at least up to where i'm at so far) and mostly you're being shuttled along the msq and being told the story with interactive moments. my impression is that this isn't a 200-hour game where you have to grind and suffer just to get through everything - i've actually almost been a little disappointed at how easy the first major boss and associated eikon were.

big fights against things such as eikons or proper mini-bosses have what are called cinematic action scenes, which are these really fucking cool action-packed scenes that you wouldn't be able to do in combat otherwise. it's probably the only time i've run into a quick time event and haven't had a heart attack or just wanted to bite someone. the actions are very well telegraphed and the actual quick time event is very forgiving, and the reward is this fucking sick as hell combat cut scene that is 200% something you'd see in a movie.

the combat in this game feels very, very good, and yoshi-p took a page from the yoko taro book and there are items in the game to help with accessibility. you don't want to control torgal (the dog) in combat? there's an accessory to automate that for you so that you don't have to worry about it. you're like me and grinding is the ultimate death knell for you in a game? there's an exp booster item you can equip.

even without the accessibility, though, combat itself just feels very good. it's dynamic, there's enough buttons to push i am entertained, you flip between two different styles of combat (so far anyway) and can use them to play off of each other and seamlessly combo into each other. it's very responsive, the hit boxes and snapshots are honest (unlike another yoshi-p game we all know of).

so far i'm generally liking the story. it's pretty dark, but it's not the darkest thing i've seen come out of sqex. i'm a little irritated by the way the writing is kicking at the whole racism piece of this nonstop, but i also understand the significance to the story and i appreciate them going all the way with it to really drive the point home because as i was getting annoyed i realized: this is the reality for some people. this is their life. they don't get to turn off their ps5 and walk away from it and chill.

all in all this game 100% feels like a movie that we get to play parts of, and i am fucking here for it. it's a lot more interactive than games such as heavy rain, but it has that same sort of limited scope of gameplay (so far) and so you don't really stray down a rabbit hole for 30 hours (so far) or have to spend the next 3 days grinding just so you can have a chance at a boss (so far).

i really just wanna share this screenshot i got because it's just so fucking cool and it's what i mean when i say this game is incredibly cinematic:

image is completely unedited, just a screenshot i took in that moment. it was just so fucking cool ok i still love it

The Ghoul/Cooper Howard making pre-war references

#cooper howard #the ghoul #fallout prime #walton goggins #fallout tv #fallouttvgifs #i was gonna add him talking about pigs to lucy because there aren't any pigs post war in fallout #but the show made another reference to it during the sorrel booker scene where he told his men to feed coop to hogs #so i decided to omit it #anywho have coop being a little hilarious troll

You might have answered this before but is there any aus or routes where Machete doesn't get assassinated, and he and Vasco get to live somewhat happy lives together? Or is the heartbreak and tragedy always set in stone?

I think in order to avoid the bad ending he'd have to resign from his position and find something less distressing to do with his life. I'm not entirely sure how that works though, I believe relinquishing cardinalship for example is extremely unusual and a big deal even in modern times, usually you hold these titles until death, retiring isn't part of the plan. And since he's had to fight tooth and nail to get where he is and his sense of self-worth is tied to it, I find it hard to believe he'd have enough sense to just leave everything behind. Besides, he was saved, raised and trained by the church, in some way he must feel like he owes his life to it.

I feel like the modern au, not that such thing exists at the moment, would be relatively happy and free of drama and tragedy. Now that I'm thinking about it, the root of Machete's problems must be health issues. In present times he wouldn't get left behind for being weak and ill so he wouldn't have any specific reason to pursue ecclesiastical career. I don't know what job he'd land but I don't think he'd be a priest. Having access to modern medicine and diagnostics would certainly help a ton, no more bloodletting, valerian root and laudanum for him. I see no reason why he and Vasco wouldn't be happily married. They'd probably travel a bunch and have a habit of frequenting snobby little bistros and overpriced restaurants. Machete would drag Vasco to museums, theatre and opera. He'd still be workaholic but with the additional boost of very strong coffee. Vasco would own some sort of garish Italian sports car. He'd be good at cooking and baking. He'd still ride horses. Maybe he'd be an avid football fan even.

Firstly, HBOMB FINALLY GETS TO PLAY DECKED OUT ON HERMITCRAFT HOLY SHIT!!!!!

Secondly, I made a meme for it

(Thirdly, in case y’all don’t know that BB9 was the start of H’s hermit adoption arc AND the fact that Ren and H got on so well that Ren invited him to join Iskall’s Vault Hunters SMP where he proceeded to be adopted by even more Hermits and show his talent for dungeon crawling minecraft games. Not to mention him repeatedly asking to be allowed on Hermitcraft to play Decked Out 1 and now it’s finally happening!!!)

#hermitcraft #hbomb94 #hbomb #thank you Mr Rendog #i’m so excited #and I’m so happy for H cause he’s wanted to play decked out so badly #but also the blue bats 9 obsession is real #you know the worse part about Ren inviting H to VH #is that Ren left before coop vaults were added so they never got to run a vault together #an absolute TRADGEDY #I know Ren has been kinda inactive but I really hope he’s there at the weekend #i miss them!!!! #but H and Hermits is the best combo honestly

Bird update: Unfortunately I’ve had to say goodbye to my rooster. I quite liked him but if you’ll remember, he was here on probation and after a few weeks of good behaviour he started pestering my hen a lot. She started looking a bit unhappy (huddling under the outdoor table instead of trotting about), then she stopped laying and I thought perhaps she was moulting and it could explain her moodiness and missing feathers, but the pattern of missing feathers seemed to point to the rooster as a culprit. Then he hurt her wing, allegedly (I have no proof so I’m protecting myself from a libel claim.)

On nice days Dru likes to sit and soak up the sun, stretching her wings one at a time, and on a couple of occasions I saw her stretch only her left wing, never opening her right one. I poked her wing gently and she didn’t bite my hand off which was a good sign, but then I picked her up and placed her on a chair, expecting her to jump off straight away like “I never asked you to put me here, mind your own business”—and indeed she jumped but she only flapped her left wing to slow her fall.

I called the vet to ask if it meant the other wing was broken and what I could do, and she was pretty reassuring, saying if the wing was held closed in the right position it would heal on its own—if it were dangling on the other hand I would need to find a little toddler’s t-shirt for my hen to wear, to keep her wing against her body. The vet also said what vets always say—“as long as the animal is eating normally it’s probably going to be fine!” (and that’s the case)

But I couldn’t keep the rooster any longer—even if he weren’t the one who hurt Dru (innocent until proven guilty) it wouldn’t help the healing process if he kept trying to mount her, so I put him in a box and took him back to his natal farm. They weren’t terribly happy to see him again, but well. I wanted to give him a chance but the circumstances (with only one hen) weren’t auspicious and I sort of expected this experiment to fail. Best of luck, rooster...

A couple of days after his departure, Dru lay an egg again for the first time since mid-February, so I think the message was pretty clear!

Also, that’s a tall bale of hay (from a chicken’s perspective) so I’m not sure how she managed to climb on top of it without boosting herself with her wings. Did she fake a wing injury to get the rooster ousted? Pampe would fake a wing injury without hesitation but chickens strike me as honest. I mean they're unrepentant food thieves but they’re upfront about it.

Final bird update: on Friday I managed to get a new hen! I hope having a new coopmate won’t put Dru in a bad mood again and cause another egg strike. The new hen is very young and still looks like a gangly teenager, and she seems quite vivacious and curious, here she is determinedly strolling into her new home:

One notable fact about her is that she doesn’t speak chicken. She doesn’t kot kot like an adult hen, and she doesn’t make the incoherent gurgling sound that baby hens make, either. It’s more like a dissonant quack. I’m not sure what to attribute it to—maybe she was raised near ducks and picked up a foreign language? I might have to call her Daisy if she keeps this up. I tried to record her but she’s pretty scared of me for the time being so she’s all shy and quiet when I’m nearby...

Dru isn’t amused by any of this. New hen tries to follow her and chat with her and gets snubbed a lot. Well, I did hear Dru cluck amicably the first evening when I brought the new hen in the coop, but she didn’t get an answer, there’s a real language barrier here. I hope the new hen learns French soon because right now Dru just keeps running away from her! 

Poor Dru, she lost her good friend and then had to deal with a dude who woke her up every day at dawn crowing as loudly as possible, and now a new roommate who speaks duck. It’s only been two days though; I’m sure they’ll get along eventually!

#crawling along #initially this was going to be a 1-paragraph post about the rooster and the new girl but it's hard to be succinct when it comes to chickens #there's so much coop drama to talk about every time #as you can see from the pic dru still runs around and is generally energetic and behaving normally so if #the wing really is hurt it doesn’t seem to bother her too much #i'm still not excluding the possibility of a clever ploy to get the rooster evicted

The thing that hit me during the finale of the Fallout TV series and that I've been thinking about often is when Coop has been eavesdropping on Barb and The Shitheads™ in that meeting...

In the later years, how often do you think his thoughts were coming back to that moment, thinking about what he's been through and knowing that his own wife did this to him?

I think about this a lot.

#the ghoul #fallout #fallout show #fallout amazon #fallout on prime #fallout prime #fallout spoilers #cooper howard #walton goggins #spoilers #also to be perfectly clear #no hate on Barb on my part #this is not about that #we don't know her exact motives #maybe there was no other way #working with what she had #but for all we know Coop knows it might have been her doing #so yeah

3 worst pains in the world:

1. deep and profound loss so severe you emerge from it a different person

2. ate too much chili and now your tummy hurts

3. boiled in oil probably

#vampireapologist used to have a yt channel called ginger snaps with their sibling coop #and in their cave story playthrough there's a ten minute episode that mallaidh anne spends the first three minutes of devouring chili #and the next seven complaining about how much their stomach hurts #and that to me is the platonic ideal of chili arrogance. #the single most perfect timestamped example of the chili pride going before the chili fall #we've all been there. I'm there right now #willow's wastebin tagxon

I've seen some Hancock/The Ghoul fanart floating around as of late and it's so good so choice but I've seen no art with The Ghoul and Raul Tejada and I can no longer allow this fandom to sleep on my emotional support geriatric. Once I'm done with my finals it's over for you fools.

#hancock and the ghoul would be friends with benefits #but raul and the ghoul would be amicable exes but things are still so weird #raul bumps into lucy and cooper somewhere in the mojave #he immidiately hits it off with lucy bc of the whole ghost vaquero/protecting those who cant protect themselves stuff #and coopers just over here #watching his pseudo-daughter toast marshmellows with his sarcastic ex-boyfriend who keeps making jabs at him #Raul and Lucy whispering and giggling to themselves while Coop is sitting right across from them knowing full well they're talking about him #the comedy potential #you guys dont understand 😔 #fallout prime #fallout new vegas #fallout #fallout the series #the ghoul #cooper howard #lucy mclean #raul tejada #aug tinks

Met two toxic players last night while doing coop in Azhdaha domain as Kokomi

Tighnari died from the hydroballs so quickly (the fastest I've ever seen someone die in that domain honestly, and I've killed that big boy almost 60 times by now) while the Ayaka died fighting Azhdaha on the other side

Yelan and I managed to kill it but the two kept trashtalking in chat the whole time, calling my Kokomi shit. Dodge better next time, I said because my goodness, I have a 7k+ per tick skill heal and 1k+ heal per NA after burst (that also deals 6k dmg per NA)

I always do coop runs for Azhdaha as a healer to help players out and they are by far the worst I've met (once had a team that died twice and had to switch team comps around yet no one complained). On one hand, I had a coop before that where only Yelan and I survived too but the players were complimenting Kokomi's super healing instead

It must reallyyy suck for them to die first as squishy dps. On the other hand, I had a 4* only run against Raiden, it was so fun and the first Dori I saw in coop (nice build too!)

#exile.feather #azhdaha still proving to be that boss that you should challenge by yourself #about coop #healers are not shielders #you are not immune to damage #i love coop and playing healer to support dps but my goodness some people do exist to make the game annoying to play

I had a very very very drunk girl tell me she never would have guessed I was trans this past weekend and I’m still thinking about it

[deputyrook]

the fact that people out here are gatekeeping ghoul fucking is so funny. like yeah ok im not a real fallout fan unless i want to suck set’s rancid cock

like sure coop/hancock are somewhat yassified compared to early ghouls but also they’re by no means “conventionally attractive.” are you divorced from reality

do you know want to know what the highest ship is on A03 for fallout 3? It’s charon/female lone wanderer. people want to fuck the fallout 3/nv ghouls, and have wanted to for a long time, I assure you

#fallout #the ghoul #like it was funny at first but people are genuinely being elitist about it #and saying ‘oh women only want hot ghouls’ #which? insane. #insane thing to say #I just hate the implication women are shallow for being into coop like. bro #cooper howard

Chevalier Brainrot: As stern and harsh as he may be, Chevalier's lips are soft. They're delicate and warm through spring to autumn, only winter setting over them in a thin sheet of frigidity.

His caresses? They may be ferocious. They may be voracious. Yet his lips are still so undeniably soft as he kisses you...
