The cover for Mashle's third game book light novel, written by Kiyoko Hoshi and illustrated by Hajime Komoto, titled "Mash Burnedead to Gangan Ikouze" has been revealed!
The novel is scheduled to be released at October 4th, along with the final volume and the fanbook.
don’t get me wrong I think the general interpretation of Leo being like “I put up a cocky front but deep down I don’t actually think I’m that great and that’s why I have something to prove” is good. It’s cool, plenty of drama/angst potential and probably what the creators were going for, I’m here for it.
But there is a distinct appeal to me of the slightly-to-the-left interpretation of Leo being like “it’s not a front, I know I’m that good/smart/skilled, but I also know I’m seen by others as just the goofball face man and that’s why I have something to prove.”
I feel like tags like these were inevitable on the post about people traumatising themselves for the greater good or w/e... There is SO much emphasis on posting on tumblr and other social media being so important and so useful and we must never stop. But I would like to counterargue with the idea that posting on social media (especially tumblr) constantly does very little/nothing. If that was true then the point here becomes meaningless.
It's so incredibly funny and weird to see so many Charles "fans" here so happy with Max's achievements and not saying one single word about that first lap move. No hate to Max but it doesn't make sense to me. Maybe because he is popular in f1blr and people are afraid of his fans? But as a Charles fan I feel like I'm the only one that would complain about it and that wouldn't enjoy the success and dominance of one of Charles rivals. I might say if you are a Charles fan you can't actually enjoy someone else's dominance. You can admire from afar and congratulate but enjoy and feel happy? It is so awkward to me.
Personally, I was not happy with that first lap move, but Charles doesn't seem to be too concerned about it:
I also thought Lewis passed Charles while off track, but we didn't see really good replays of that, and I may be wrong about it.
Regardless, Charles would not have won today, and that sucks. He may be able to work miracles with that shitbox during quali, but as far as race pace goes, the SF-23 is still sorely lacking.
There are definitely people on here who are fans of both Max and Charles, so I can see them being happy about Max's successes. I have some "secondary favorites" like Alex and Oscar, and I am really happy when they do well, even if Charles had an off day. Of course, they are not enjoying the dominant success Max is, and maybe therefore it's not as annoying?
i don't get discussions abt bad or good lyrics ngl. like i don't understand what makes a lyric good or bad. sometimes I'll see bits taken from [artist tumblr hates] and [artist tumblr likes] and be unable to tell them apart bc i mean, they're just lyrics yknow?? but one is considered bad and the other is considered peak writing. i dunno it mostly just makes me insecure about my own lyric writing yknow? 💔
i foolishly started another playthrough of bg3 in the early access even tho the game comes out for realskies in like a week or so and i'll have get to make more characters/new pts anyway.
trying to make myself not be a pretty wood elf/half elf druid so rolled drow paladin (i'm def going to play a druid first once it's out for real tho b/c talk to animals is my favorite larian studios skill and i'm so sad without it. i just want to talk to all the animals and also wild shape!) and it's actually been pretty fun to just be tanky and whack things.
npcs are super rude to drow tho, it's real da elf and skyrim khajit/dunmer flashback hours
(i don't love it? the fantasy race racism stand-in in rpg games always feels not terribly thoughtful? i realize it's b/c the source material has it but still idk there's got to be a better way and wotc/dnd is historically still not great at it)
i keep attempting to play a different type of character (i usually start to swing chaotic good no matter where i start lol), but it's difficult and also it's real hard not to flirt with astarion even if he disapproves of my kinda do-gooder paladin atm lol
(i think b/c a character disproves sometimes my contrary nature takes the better of me b/c i'm like oh no but i want *them* to like me even tho everyone else approves or maybe b/c everyone else approves XD i've already romanced him & shadowheart tho, gotta try someone else's arc or proto arc as it were lol. BUT FLIRT WITH HOT KINDA STANDOFFISH ELF!!! i am weak T.T)
still wish you could set up the "what do you desire" character to be genderfluid and appear as both masc/femme forms. like my characters are all bi/pan! they're attracted to lots of people- idk if they've said anything about this? i haven't been watching *too* many dev videos b/c i don't want to spoil myself too much but i did some searching to see if it was mentioned anywhere yet and couldn't find anything
(i did see that they'll have more body types for your tav at least in the final which is another small thing i dislike about the early access cc- even tho you can pick non binary as an id, you're still stuck w/ very binary body choices)
Okay, I thought this was universal but maybe my last three therapists were right that it is not:
Is it normal for boredom to be truly unbearable?
As in, worse than anything else, would rather get eviscerated while fully conscious, will do anything to escape it which might actually include suicide if no satisfactory options are available?
Hisuian Zoroark is one of the sickest designs in pokemon, but the model on that bloke is FUCKED. It's really bad. If they bother to port her over to other games, you know they ain't changing that model, either, 'cept to make the textures paler & duller.
I continue to despise pokemon, despite being a pokemon fan, I fucken guess. At this point, I gotta go all in on summat else, like Cassette beasts.
the funniest thing about even is that they concluded that being loved was not worth the price and picked out someone specifically who they believed would not form an attachment to them, giving them the security of knowing how this relationship would work, only for the master to. get attached to them.
