#love watching people play video games

[heisttheblackflag]

you know what I miss? Let’s Watch. streamers just aren’t the same for me; I want to watch a prerecorded let’s play of a single-player game with a couple people making commentary in the moment. it’s so hard to find and AH did it so well. I miss it so much

#I think that’s why I latched onto the Quarry let’s plays so much #bc it felt like old ah!!! #the randomizer videos and my first dark souls are close but there’s still gimmicks to them #and streamers…idk obvi I love watching Jeremy & Michael talk & play but like. #idk I don’t want an amorphous chat #I want physical people in the room talking #and I think I like prerecorded content more than livestreams #idk man #it is what it is but I miss it a lot #if anyone knows of any other groups that do a similar thing I am all ears!! I don’t like game grumps but I’ll try just abt anyone else #original

all we wanted was some innocent valentine's baking and instead dan and phil got married, adopted no pets, and broke up at the end

#you guys couldve played heartthrob but nooo fake boyfriends arent enough now its fake husbands to be jealous of #honestly very funny i love watching dan lose all of his tentative hope for humanity in a 25 minute video #you guys *chose* the random chance game. the 'marry other people' game. smh #dnp #c.text #dan and phil

what is hlvrai and please tell me more about this svsss crossover?

hlvrai is Half-Life VR but the AI is Self-Aware and it is a series that made me absolutely bonkers for a solid two years, which is not something most hyperfixations of mine can claim

basically the premise is that a streamer got a special copy of Half-Life VR where the NPCs are self-aware! in reality, it was a streamer and his friend role-playing in gmod and it spiralled rapidly out of control, but oh my god I cannot emphasize enough how funny this series is. there are lines in this series that I still quote because they have wormed their way into my permanent speech pattern. the characters that they managed to come up with basically on the fly are so good, and the ending is absolutely insane

I'm still deciding which direction the crossover should go. I think maybe I should put svsss characters into hlvrai because I do not think hlvrai!gordon would not do well if put in shen qingqiu's shoes. he's so highstrung, I do not think he could pull off the wise master role sqq finds himself in. he would get killed so quickly

shen yuan, however, would be perfect as a streamer slowly being driven insane by his NPC companions. the other characters are trickier to figure out, but I think if I just change which ones of them are aware they're in a video game, it would work. binghe being benrey is too good to pass up, but I think shang qinghua could be tommy, if tommy figured out they were in a game but just chose not to tell anyone. I kinda wanna make mobei-jun into forzen simply because that's funny to me. coomer and bubby.... uh...... get back to me on that. liu qingge could be bubby maybe, and yue qingyuan could be coomer. idk. instead of talking to the system, shen yuan is bitching at his chat, and binghe is like Who Are You Talking To 👁👁 and shen yuan has a heart attack

#asks #lesbianmangoes #it's been so long since i've had to pitch hlvrai omg #it's SUCH a funny series trust me on this #most of my hyperfixations last like six months #hlvrai lasted TWO YEARS #i was like heehee hoohoo i'll watch this youtube series because im bored and it looks funny #and then like two weeks later i felt like i was hit with a baseball bat #i still have such fondness for the streamers responsible for it. rtvs crew i love u #hlvrai is the result of a bunch of very funny people who know each other very well #making each other laugh while playing video game characters #and then somehow they managed to make genuinely compelling characters and a crazy plot out of it #and there's so much potential for like. existential horror and meta stuff in it #like video game characters coping with the reality that they're video game characters #there's a person interacting with you that's somehow More Real than you are #it's fucked! #i wanna put svsss characters in a similar situation #and i just think shen yuan is a very obvious choice for a gamer on the brink of losing his chill #because a video game character won't stop asking about his feet

Y'all I am so scared. This could either be great or an absolute dumpster fire of a movie. Why live-action? No seriously why live-action??? For Zelda, the games that are so wonderfully cartooney even at their most serious? Why is Avi Arad producing a Zelda movie? His mixed bag of movies aside I DON'T THINK HES DONE FANTASY??? Like correct me if I'm wrong but I believe its mostly sci-fi, superheroes and stuff.

I know I'll enjoy it regardless, trashy movies are my jam. But if we want more it can't flop like 1993 mario(love that movie) and thats the bit thats got me nervous.

I'm gonna anxiously hold out hope solely becuase the tweet opened up with "This is Miyamoto." Just DON'T do BOTW/TOTK. I know you want to pick the cash cow Nintendo, but video game movies are WAY more likely to flop if you pick the one where everyone would rather just play the game. The bigger the fanbase the worse the odds get, so I am begging you not to come out of the gates with an adaptation of the ones where everyone and their mother has played it.

#Im not exaggerating about botw #My actual mother who can probably count the video games shes played on her hands was reading sidonxlink fanfic #It is the only zelda game my little sister has completed #anyone remember all the complaints about the castlevania show? #no? #oh yeah because most of the people watching werent fans of the game #the complaints were there #seriously dont pick botw/totk nintendo #youd have infinitley better luck with oot #I know Im gonna love this movie regardless #Im going opening week in cosplay #I just really want it to actually be good ya know? #Quick art comments #I love that crappy zelda show #captian n and the super mario super show was my jam #I will take the excuse to draw that zelda #anyways long post and tag ramble over #the legend of zelda #loz #zelda #princess zelda #zelda movie

happy two year anniversary to the very beginning of my descent into madness (the day i added my hockey guy on social media) (it all went downhill from there)

#i love talking in parentheses guys it’s so fun #anyway after that he put me on my deep obsessive stranger things phase. and after that we did the play together. and after that #i watched the hunger games movies because he gave me the flu after tech week. and after that i was sending him videos from an airbnb in #albuquerque nm at one in the morning. and at some point along the way i was squished out badly (vwoop was there) (don’t look at my sideblog #and after that he put me on various new music and then left to california with my best friend for two weeks and i was so alone. #and after that we didn’t talk much for most of last summer until suddenly we went anc saw the barbie movie together. and after that #he called me on the phone various times (he’s one of only two people i dna stand talking to on the phone) #and then he befriended one of my teammates over the socials and then i went to some of his hockey games and then #deep breath. guys im running out of things to say. can you tell im so fucking insane about my best friends irl. #and then he’s gone to my birthdays the past two years in a row even though he can’t drive and it’s inconvenient for him. and then we’re #going to a concert next week (he’s taking me) #rowe rambles #JESUS CHRIST shut up rowe

just found out that jonny sims voices the narrator in slay the princess and getting So Stupidly excited about it because i watched gab smolders play the demo last year and?-!?/!-?!!! loved it i’m so excited to see a playthrough and actually recognise the voice actor

#is this something silly to get excited about? #probably #but i just finished tma and stp is (in my head) from ages ago #and i love when things connect yknow #:’) #slay the princess #watching playthroughs bc Uhhh i may enjoy video games but i’m not very good at them #and also the funds #i’m happy watching other people play #i’m SO excited to get the time to watch this though #no spoilers pleas i’ll be so sad #was gonna go to bed early but this fun fact has given me an adrenaline rush i would’ve appreciated 3h ago

[samarecharm]

So funny that i find myself w less and less new music to discover compared to what i was finding in my teen years, and i am like 98% sure its bc i havent watched frag videos or amvs in over a decade 😭

#chattin #like nearly 60% of my songs are from my ipod. #my IPOD #hundreds of songs i found from watching High Art from before 2012 #i have songs from last fm that literally do not exist ANYWHERE anymore. like i gotta make an effort to upload some of these for ppl #whereas most of my newly discovered songs are from artists i found prior to 2012 (and theyre still making music) #artists adjacent to THOSE artists #video game music #and artists related to that music #so im not like. exposed to completely mew and untethered music yanno? #mew……i meant NEW 😭 #that one insane uno video had a really REALLY good song and i have no idea if it was made for the video or if it exists on ytube or bandcamp #and i absolutely count that as an amv lmao #i think its bc i dont play games that would make for good frags anymore like ovw and halo #and i dont watch anime anymore so i havent tried to watch amvs #like. there was a really good mp100 one but i wasnt invested enough to look for more 😭 #maybe i should ask my sister for some jjk amvs….theres lots of fighting in that one right? i think that would help #u have no idea what people deem a good song for amvs and thats what makes them so fun; i love knowing what people listen to #oh i just realized; i think i am showing my age; do ppl even call it frags anymore??? #is it an amv or a fancam?? or something else…i also dont use tiktok so im unsure of the terms there too…

[butterflieswhisper]

hhelp wait this is so funny. didnt you follow me forever ago after a scott themed october song analysis . sorry if you dont remember that and this ask doesnt make sense but this is still funny to me

hi!!!! yeah. it was the cherri crane lives art i think and also where you made your flower husbands tag! I have never really interacted with fh outside of you (and like, seeing pretty fanart) but i am nonetheless deeply invested in your interpretation specifically!!! I honestly haven't watched jimmy outside of rats and the beginning of empires2 either i genuinely have no clue what they get up to you just seem to have a lot of fun with it

#asks #<-omg i can make that a tag now #i also am a year behind on the life series. i think the most recent one i've seen is double #like from any pov. i am a year behind. however that goes for everything on youtube #my poor watch later playlist hit the 5000 video limit forever ago and so did the second one i made to replace it. i am on my third #but seriously i don't know what goes on in fh canon but i like their blue/yellow thing they have going on. idk if that's like? intentional? #but like scott blue and canary yellow are really pretty colors together #and they are also SO close to being complimentary colors and yet. they aren't. just a little bit off #they don't quite fit quite how they should. i made that up on the spot i mostly think yellow and blue are nice colors #i think my biggest exposure to scott before you was literally the deal with destiny song in empires1 #and i don't even think i acknowledged him as like a real guy ykwim. #like oh yeah. scott smajor. he's like. in that song lizzie made or something. he can sing alright i guess (plays it on loop)(plays it on lo #whisp whispers #seeing u post about Discourse(tm) is always really funny to me because i didn't realize for a while that u did not have like #the 'normal' interpretation? like i didn't realize you had a different view than other people #i was like oh yeah the relationship held in the death games is toxic. that makes sense yeah and is not surprising #and then suddenly there would be a post where you mention discourse and i went. Ohhhhh wait they're supposed to be HAPPY!!! #but i feel like this is infinitely more enjoyable i love Flawed Characters #and especially now after watching his rats. i get it. i get it i get it i see what you are saying #he doesn't interact much with jimmy hes mostly with owen and. i mean #'i've never heard someone apologize so much while putting the blame on the other person'???? i see exactly what you mean #r!scott accidentally hurting r!owen and then apologizing profusely while insisting it's because owen stood in his way. and then immediately #isolating himself in a room for like 20 minutes and refusing to interact with anyone feels like. idk #it reminds me of ur rambles and i understand them more now i think. kind of #to be clear by 'with' i mean like. in proximity of. those rats are AROMANTIC!!!!! (to me) #i'm so sorry these tags are a mess. but alas #i also think it's really funny to follow Flower Husbands guy and know nothing abt them. invested by proxy. whenever i hear abt scott giving #jimmy a flower i get excited not because like i know what's going on but because omg! that's like that thing bree talks about sometimes!! #i hope that like. any of this makes sense shdbfjk

god fuckin damn it man that video got me

#game theory #matpat #i didn't watch his theory videos all too often. a bit too high energy for me #but i watched his gtlive videos ALLLLLLL the time. #i can quote a good chunk of the ddlc videos #man. some people really don't like him but tbh from the impression i got of him he's just a passionate n kind guy #and i'm gonna miss him. to be totally frank. #ik it's a thing for utdr fans to dislike him but i don't think i can #i'm gonna miss him. #i'm full on crying right now. jsyk #i'll probably still go rewatch some of the gtlive videos i particularly liked #when i first saw the thumbnail i thought it was. like. a fnaf theory but framed oddly. no he's retiring #other ppl are gonna run the shows now #i hope he has a great life free from the shackles of content creation #i love this guy. he's a sweet dude and knows what he likes and i'm gonna miss him. #and slightly off topic but i'm glad toby fox wasn't still angry about whatever marketing thing the game theory channel did #or gtlive i think #and they're both willing to joke about the whole sans is ness theory. there's an entire segment in his video joking about it #matpat is playing the role of ness in earthbound kinda. he's also ness in the fnaf movie. which means he's sans too. it's a whole joke #a mock thumbnail n everything #i'm getting off topic. sayonara man. you did great. hoping you have a good life out there #existenceunrelateds

what game is shig playing in ch10 of LOA? it sounds cool as hell

One I made up! But it was loosely inspired by Bloodborne-- or at least my approximate understanding of the themes of Bloodborne as someone who has not played it but have heard friends talking about it a lot!

#i dont play video games because i am bad at them #but boy howdy do i love watching other people play games and hearing them talk about them #but yeah #the game was fake but soulsborne inspired #tanco speaks #ask #asks

played swtor one time with a stranger who invited me to a group (after accidentally stealing their dataport they had to destroy and giving them the next one): this is my meet-cute

#swtor #i have NEVER played a video game with a stranger before. it scares me. i don't understand how that social interaction works #but i felt so bad and awkward and like i couldn't say no #but it turned out fine!! we jumped at each other and did a few quests #and then i said i had to get off cause it was late and thanks for playing with me #idk if they saw it cause they didn't say anything back but hopefully they didn't think i just abandoned them like a dick #but now i'm like what if i met someone on swtor and we started playing together and never really talked much #but we played together for months and then we started messaging a little bit while playing like good job! and let's do this quest! #and do you want to do this heroic? and stuff like that and it morphed into a little more talking and eventually exchanging contact info #and then we fell in love? and we played video games together and did star wars cosplay together and idk what they would do for a job #(but i'm sure it would be neat and cool!!) and we could support each others dreams and shit and we could meet irl and kiss #and we could have a star wars rp and watch shows together and lots of other stuff #(ignore most of that is about star wars. i am obsessed currently i can't help it) #it would be cute and fun and i would like it and people would be like how did you meet?? and i could say star wars mmo lol

I suddenly had a burst of motivation to do Keeper asks and I WILL RUN ON IT BECAUSE I HATE BEING ARTBLOCKED especially on Keeper my birdy 😭

Lately I feel more like rambling about stuff than actually draw I wish I could talk more about lore and character details and share everything but I also want to make pretty comics for the blog

#artist struggles #plus lately I have more homeworks #and I'm brainrotting on pantheon au #which I just created #i want to ramble about looore #and also hear theories #come at me with your theories people I love theories #could be about anything tbh write me an essay on your theory about idk WH #or wttmv #or the last show you watched #or last video game played #i like theories

in case anyone was wondering, my current comfort video on YouTube (aka the one I keep putting on when I don't know what else to watch) is the Polygon Unraveled video where Brian David Gilbert makes all the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild recipes

I have never played a Zelda game in my life and don't even have any interest in watching any Let's Plays

I just like BDG saying stuff like "the crab does not mix well with the carrot" and also the shot of him saying "oh my lord" while he holds a pancake with pieces of carrot in it by his mouth

#it is surprising that this is my current favorite video #with how little I know and care about Zelda #(hey nothing against the games if you love the games I'm happy for you #it's just not in the genre of games I like to watch other people play #I like watching Phasmophobia and stupid games based off of other forms of media and mods of GTA and also Sims #also Kingdom Hearts but that's just bc I absolutely stink at those games #it's not really bc I prefer watching others play it over playing it myself) #but the video's got BDG's absolutely unhinged chaotic nature and food stuff #so I guess now that I think about it the video is actually in my wheelhouse #I'm a sucker for food-related content and unhinged chaos jhasdnfjlkjnsdf #ANYWAYS I can provide a link if anyone else wants to make it their comfort video #speecher speaks

i think every. single. day. about this masterpiece. to think that someone came up with all these ideas, animated them, gave them colours, movement, life, everything… and now i can watch it as many times i want. there are so many hidden references to art pieces besides the heroes and the cultures themselves…

#tbh everyone should watch this video at least once in their life #it’s amazing what can people do with animation #and yes i’m a fate girlie but i don’t play the (gacha) game #i love the concept and some series from the universe <3 #ngl this franchise made me who i am today lmao without it i wouldn’t survive history of art in school asdfghjkl #and now i love it so dearly i could spend my whole life digging in myths and ancient cultures and art <3 #—talks.

its so wild seeing how non mmo players exist and well. i dont like it!

#i saw an iceberg bass by and i. dont want to be anywhere near that iceberg #if youve never played over 100 hours of any mmo. i dont trust you or your opinions about video games tbh. #like sorry talking to people on a video game is scary. skill issue. #also. also. also. controversial opinion but subscription based games arent actually bad. shocking i know #its a super big pet peeve when people hate on mmos for being. mmos. like. what did you expect lol??? #or they hate on mmos for. gasp. needing consistent funding to keep running #if i said my opinions about single player games yall would attack me with hammers #single player games are boring as FUCK #ive only ever beaten two singleplayer games and it was hollow knight and nier replicant #i cant bring myself to play any other ones cause theyre just not interesting #like in theory i like bg3 but in practice i cant. be fucking bothered #that game is just. Too Much #which is rich coming from a FFXIV player who LOVES Bozja but like #i love being around people at all times and i hate doing things alone on the account of the autism #and unless i drag people into playing bg3 with me when i want to play it its just not worth it #i have to figure out the systems by myself and i have no motivation to keep playing (yeah i could just google it but. thats not my point) #like honestly. singleplayer games make me feel like im wasting my time. #why would i play bg3 by myself when i could be afk in limsa watching people argue in shout chat. which is much more fun
