The Roombabot Diaries

"Even without full scan function, I still had my dark vision filters and my own mapping data, so with the fixed point of the corridor hatch, I could retrace my steps to the ramp. It just looked awkward and stupid because for the first part I had to navigate like a floor-cleaning bot." - Martha Wells, System Collapse (Video and audio description below the cut)

VIDEO ID:

An animated video of Murderbot, in a full environmental suit (featuring a little 'Perihelion' logo on its chest and an opaque helmet).

Murderbot is wandering around a dark space, the sound of its footsteps on the stone floor are audible. It walks in a straight line to the right until it hits a pillar with an audible 'thunk' noise and stops. A grumpy smiley face appears next to it.

It recalibrates, making little chirping calibrating sounds, then turns and moves towards the viewer until it seems to hit the camera (again with a 'thunk' noise and a little frowny smiley face next to it) and recalibrates again.

It turns its back to the viewer and starts walking again, this time seemingly hitting the wall in the back. It recalibrates again, then turns to the right and starts walking again. After a few seconds it stops briefly, two exclamation marks appear next to it along with a beeping noise, then it quickly walks out of frame.

#listen i know this is not really what happened in this scene but like. #all i could think about when i was reading this was murderbot moving around like a roomba #figuring out the layout of the space by bumping into things and changing its direction with every collision #and the mental image was so funny to me #i don't actually know how to animate i literally downloaded the software a few weeks ago for another silly mb video (which is unfinished) #this is my second attempt with the software and like. it's FUN!! but i also don't know what i'm doing help #also PLEASE i can't draw please don't @ me about the anatomy #i'm trying to tell myself that the environmental suit is just. very weird hjsdfkdjkhdfjh #anyWAYS #the murderbot diaries #murderbot #system collapse #system collapse spoilers #sc spoilers #video #𓄿 #also. i really wanted to add the humans following mb in a row like little ducklings and almost crashing into it when it crashes into things #but then i would have had to animate 3 additional sets of walk cycles and it would have gotten to complicated and crowded sdfhjdksf #but. yeah. feel free to imagine they are there

SAGAU except they're aware of what goes on when you go into the character menu???

Particularly when they pray as you hop onto the artifacts menu to raise em, whether is for for them, another character to which some might try to purposely mess the rolls up bc oops! looks like they can't use that now! :) guess they'll have to wait., or just to make space for more bc HOW IS YOUR ARTIFACT STORAGE FULL ARE YOU OKAY??? Σ(・∀・；)

Whenever you raise their artifacts they kinda feel bad if it rolled into the wrong subs when you raise it with them and would either apologize or say that it'll roll better on the next one, they know it will!! (it did not 😔)

That or they don't bc they felt silly and wanted to spite you so guess you gotta do a few more runs to try again teehee 😗👉👈 they eventually roll a ridiculously amazing artifact at some point, but just this once!

(or y'know the opposite where there's always this one character you always use to raise artifacts bc they always get the best rolls and best subs? yeah imagine them celebrating w you at how good the stats rolled too!!)

Kinda like how if you try to make gear in tkrb there's a chance of it shattering (therefore failing) instead of being able to create one and when that happens the character you brought with you for those will say things like "oh no, it broke! i'm so sorry :(" or "i-it's okay!! let's try again...!" or you just flat out hear sobbing noises bc your new feather low rolled all 5 into defense FLAT 😭 BASICALLY THAT YEAH

#ଘ(੭ˊᵕˋ)♡ m.daydreams #this is the silly thoughts tag that will also be just sagau stuff if not hat guy lmao #genshin impact #genshin sagau #self aware genshin #its like 1 am and i frantically just wrote this down before i forgor so uhh yeah 👍 HAHA #for me i avoid rolling artis with kuni bc if it's not for him he will DESTROY IT HZHHFJF #like honey chill its just a flower for kaveh hes not replacing u bby 😭 #he did roll a 35% cmdg flower a few posts ago for xiao though so i think he's cool w him #best artifact roller is zhongli no question abt that! #he rolled a bunch of 30%↑ subs he's so epic for that fr HAHAHD #so good his artifacts never got replaced (only borrowed) to this day im goign to cry #left it in tags bc idk where to shove that in the post so YEET #feel free to add onto this in asks or stuff btw!! #its fun to imagine what other things our charas can comment on should they become aware of the stuff we do :D #no idea how to write but hey we doin things!! woohoo #i got more stuff i wanna write down but again its late sooo see ya!! night nighttt

As someone who knows nothing about Oberon but loves your art: where do I start if I want to understand your love for the man?

oh man. oh jeez ( wheezing ) haha okay. uhm. erhm. i didnt expect to get this far uhm ( shaking )

so here's the problem: oberon is from lostbelt 6, a chapter in hit gacha game fate/grand order. you can play f/go if you want and chug along to lb6 - which is unfortunately a chapter 6~ years into the game's main story. but i cannot with any sort of conscious recommend a gacha game to people.

so playing the game is one option. option two is checking out atlas academy database, a website that has all of fgo's stories and such conveniently catalogued! click 'main story' on the top of the page and it'll give you just, well, the main story.

if you want to watch the stories themselves - which at least for lostbelt 6 i highly recommend because the OST is amazing - there's also this commentary free LP on youtube that i've linked to people!

that being said that is still a lot of words to get to lostbelt 6, so- if you don't want to read everything pre-lostbelt 6, i recommend going to the typemoon wiki and reading the summary on each story pre lostbelt 6 ( so, up to lostbelt 5.5 ). just click on the link in each chart and you can find a detailed beat-by-beat summary of each chapter.

i've been told that, in all honesty, that lostbelt 6 is still enjoyable and easy to understand without full context for the outside story beats. it certainly reads like a fairly self-contained story outside a few things needed to understand why some characters are here in the first place, so i've been considering writing up a summary on just those key points / the premise to the lostbelts so that people can read that and then jump right into lostbelt 6 and love oberon...

hopefully this was helpful in any sense of the word heehe ... if you need clarification with anything feel free to send another ask !!!

lets all love oberon!!! lets all think about oberon!!!!!!

#moka rambles #historically accurate king arthur: the game #oberon! oberon!! i love oberon!!!! #^_^ #sorry i feel like im rather bad with helping explain how to get into a series because i so rarely consume new content #i just kind of stick my foot into one thing and live with it ( has been into fgo since 2018 ) #again lostbelt 6 is apparently just fine to understand without much other context so i gave a bunch of backlog reading but its probably not #all that necessary ^_^;; #if anyone has better tips on how to get into reading lostbelt 6 #or how to get into loving oberon... #feel free to add.... #edit: also ill note that while i say i dont recommend fgo Morally #immorally im one of the few people who actually really likes fgos gameplay* #*asterisk being that i dont think its good gameplay for a gacha game which requires something very flexible and its just not very flexible #but anyhow. my point being is that if you do decide to play fgo #i do think you can and will get genuine enjoyment out of it #its just a Lot to get through but its so worth it. shakes your shoulders #believe me #edit 2: ALSO THANK YOU FOR LIKING MY ART HAHAHA #thats very flattering ^_^ #sorry i got so blinded by sharing my love for oberon i completely missed that i was complimented. thank you heehe

oomf right honestly drawing faves and ocs like ponies is fun :3. pretty slay for a first attempt i think

#youd think i wouldve drawn a pony at least once in my life since i enjoyed mlp/equestria girls as a kid & yet... <- avoided horses artwise #honestly still very ehhhh abt how much i should share since its a game related chara from my datesim im working on >_< but hey #whatever ig. i can reblog it to the gamedev account later. or delete as well. who cares yknow #pre-game treat ig whatever still need to figure out proportions.. think i will draw more of the dateables n not post those tho #-w- maybe i should add em to my commission options. idk its kinda fun. what its like to be cringe and free ig #my art #ocs #not using anymore tags than that for the reasons listed above heh -w- but i fink he'd be a lil earth pony... #no clue as to a cutiemark yet. perhaps cooking or kindness related. let me go look at the carebears for a minute #but yea... maybe something to do with bravery or being sturdy... or heart related since his name has a valentine pun #-w- he wouldve been such good friends with fluttershy. and perhaps he would like rainbow. shes so similar to his younger sister #so i think in turn he'd view her in the same exasperated but fond vein or whatever. anyways back to the canvas for me #<- one of the few ways i regain my sanity in the midst of solodev work and commissions

i’ve been trying to get through hoh for literally like a week now but it’s so hard bc the way my fave nico is treated is absolutely ABYSMAL and i know it only gets worse

#personal #even hazel being like ‘yeah he’s hard to get along with’ or whatever she said #every single non-tartarus perspective has had at least one reference to this #and like i understand the reasons it’s not that it’s that it highlights this issue i have with a lot of the characters in that series which #is that i don’t like them. and that’s so different for me bc i actually usually find that my two favorite characters in anything are the tw #that don’t like each other? unrelated to that dynamic usually mostly but still within it #but that’s not even what the dynamic is yk. #and it’s just the whole thing overall like in the last book there was one part where these two characters who are supposed to be good #friends are separated and one makes a comment about how annoying (or something along those lines) she finds the other which. #i’m vaguely aware of what happens in toa so i think you could argue something about that but read on its own bc i don’t want to make that #argument without fully grasping where her character goes #it just kinda reinforces this… vibe to the whole series that was not nearly as present in the first series of like. really overemphasized #like gender roles/heterosexuality/etc. i can’t think of the word to use to describe it. i’ve seen other ppl talk about the parts that add u #to the whole that i’ve seen but never synthesize them. and it really varies between actually insidious and simply not my taste which is par #of the reason i hesitate to make a full critique out of it. but suffice to say i really don’t like it #with that being said the pacing of this book is really good and i am compelled to finish based on the themes i do find interesting #autonomy being a huge one #but anyway those are my thoughts on it after a few days of a break. i’ve been playing a video game instead :3 but i start work on wednesday #sooo i won’t have as much free time boo #looking back maybe ‘insidious’ is a very strong word for it. i’m talking about like when percy complains about the bag and similar moments

not being able to enjoy music like a common civilian is certainly an experience

#gom.txt #the few friends who have me added on airbuds r being subjected to a lot #its worse bc by like day 3 i just download their music to my phone so im not stuck on spotify #but my laptop is at the repair shop #so unfortunately im relentlessly subjecting everyone to sleep token #i love when tiktok shows me a new band i haven't heard of n i actually like their music #bc now i gotta let the hyperfixation run free and listen exclusively to them for three weeks straight #anyways i gotta add them to my carrd eventually i accepted my fate im a sleep tokenator

everyone please Consider🩸

#Harold Finch #Person of Interest #told you i'd do it #it looks a bit silly but if it makes people think of vampire!Harold it's worth it to me #also. EVERYONE LOOK AT MY HALLOWEEN LAYOUT I'M NOT SURE IT LOOKS GOOD LMAO (there's no desktop theme i'm sorry that's just too much work 😭) #i just couldn't let Halloween pass without changing my layout. like. that's one of my favorite things to do here </3 #do you see that godforsaken Room 23 gif? that's the first gif i make in Years. and i downloaded 3 programs before figuring out how to do it #i love the Room 23 video so much i'll probably use it again on a regular layout though :-]c #oh and the reason the title is missing its last few letters is because the Zalgo effect i wanted to use takes up all the space fcxsgfcxhgsx #(but i think it looks funny / adds to the creepy factor so i'll keep it) #also: OOMFS i've seen all your tagged posts and replies yes even the ones that are months old i DID NOT forget i SWEAR. i'll answer them #when i have free time!!!!! #and in case anyone wanted to know: the last ep of POI i watched was 3x18. i have posts from S2 drafted to comment on so yeah i still care #ok i need to go. b y e *turns into dust* #luaPost=true

i am so curiious what the online component of gta6 will be like, cause rdo not having near the level of success, earning potential, and longevity, and lacking a lot of the well loved and wanted features of gta online, is kinda evidence they might not know How to capture that lightning in the bottle again.

Cause so many games have tried to get a bit of that success by apeing gta online, but failing to meet the basic criteria/missing what it was that made the game so dang successful, and instead starting out as an entirely online predatory nightmare live service.

#like gta online started as a fun online offshoot that had more than enough to do immediately on release #it had enough to PROVE that it was worth investing the time into #it was also - importantly - fucking FREE #it was a like relatively small additioinal aspect of a very solid single player game #that exploded because it just did so mmuch right #it still earns ludicrous amounts of money every year #but the ability to play only with friends - to not engage with other players you do'nt know - to have a bunch of premade mini game types #that functioned on top of the vast array of open world gameplay #off the bat it was a good option #and then bcause of its success they developed it mmore #from what i know/what i remember (so might well be wrong) they didn't plan to continue to develop content for it like they have #they didn't set out with a road map to making a game worth playing #in the hopes of stringing you along long enough for the sunk cost fallacy to kick in #even though it's not fun and not worth it #the game was immedately solid with its core gameplay #obviously they refined it #playing it on 360 when it was fresh out vs playing on pc a few years ago were definitely different quality experiences #but they were both a lot of fun #the game didn't set out with a decades long road map to the hover cars and tron bikes #it just made a solid game and then started thinkng 'what can we add to keep them interested?' afterwards #it didn't start out with the promise of being slowly finished over months and years all while costing you a contnuous amount of money #likke so mmany games trying to ape the success and vibe did #even RDO fucking sucks in comparison #maybe it improved #but the one time i itried it the forced multiplayer mission before going into the forced open access lobby - no private or friends only - #wound up with me getting called racial slurs over voice chat it turned on by default in game #and there just wasn't enough interesting gameplay like mini games and fun encounters #this is't inspired by anything im sure gta6 is coming and saw some speculation about it #imm not going to get it cause i don't care about them and unless the online is v good i wont bother #but im going to guess they'll fuck it up

just had some thoughts about storytelling and escapism

#thunder rambles #feel free to ignore i just need to write this out #so we all know that when you experience a Perfect Moment in life. like when stuff just aligns in the right way to make you enjoy a moment #a day a week or whatever #youll often say oh it feels like a movie it feels like a sticom w/e #and trying to manufacture moments in accordance with that/chasing after idyllic My Life Is A Movie moments can be bad for u #but i just. idk i just wonder if its a self perpetuating thing #like people experience these Perfect Moments irl and find them so compelling they. for example. tell other people about them #perhaps add a few embellishments #maybe even try and record it in some way so the experience may be shared beyond your death #basically im emotional about the human proclivity for storytelling again

put the type/type combo of the person you reblogged from in the tags!!

[ID: a chart with the names of the 18 pokémon types: bug, dark, dragon, electric, fairy, fighting, fire, flying, ghost, grass, ground, ice, normal, poison, psychic, rock, steel, and water.]

#so like its a tag game #ur probably familiar with those if you're on tumblr? #but for anyone who doesn't know #when you reblog assign the person you're reblogging from a type or type combo based on their vibes #and then other people will reblog from you and assign you a type or type combo based on your vibes #i think standard typing is limited to 2 but this is just a fun + funny game so feel free to add as many or as few as you want #look forward to hearing your assessments of me!
