#the game doesn't even look like shit

[shaywrites-ifs]

Update:

We're over 10,000 words, with coding as well as basic editing, with the first part of the prologue, which is what I want to finish before I start sharing any sort demo.

So, am tentatively planning in May to have an intro post made up and a demo to share! Because of all the problems I've had, I really didn't want to get anything up official without something to show for it, this time.

But here, something to actually look forward to!

#tiny update #shay things #the game doesn't even look like shit #I used a generous person's template but updated it to be fitting #which is a win while I figure out coding

Robin chose Steve. Robin made the conscious and deliberate decision that she could and would trust Steve. She already liked him! She had fun working and bantering with him! They were already on their way to being weird little bffs and the torture just expedited the process. Steve chose Robin just the same! He thinks she's fun and cool and likes her so much! He chose to be honest and open with her too, putting himself out there.

Even though their interests on the surface level don't match why wouldn't they share them? Steve clearly caves when Robin wants to watch a movie he doesn't think he'll like, Robin can watch a March madness game or five.

Stop trying to take away their bond oh my god people can be close to more than one person!!! Their best friend doesn't have to be dismissive or mean or whatever in order for a romance to be special to them!

#if i have to see another fic or whatever that makes it seem like robin doesnt give a shit about what steve likes and talkes about im going #to scream and maybe even rampage #its nice to sit down and have someone who knows explain who the players are and what the stakes for this particular game!! #just because yall seem to not think anyone can be nutral towards sports doesnt mean people aren't #literally why is it so hard to believe robin would like to hear steve talk as much as steve likes to hear her talk #i am so close to telling some steddie shippers to not look at steve or robin or their friendship because some of yall do Not get it. #its like you can see them go 'have to make sure eddie is the most perfect specialest boy for steve...well that means robin doesn't Get Him ' #or 'robin ignores him/dismisses his interests/isnt told everything happening in his life' like okay dont ever touch them again thanks #robin is steves specialest sunshine cupcake goober girl. steve is robins bestest happy times sweet funnyman. dont u dare take that away. #omce again tsgs longer than the post but ah well. #stobin #platonic stobin #robin buckley #steve harrington #stranger things #finda's rambles #steve and robin #this is a scheduled post just to jazz things up i guess #but seriously some of yall need to STOP MESSIGN WITH STOBIN

"Mister Bashir, what a pleasure it is to finally meet you."

Julian, why in god's name would you invite him to play the villain?

#my art #ds9 #julian bashir #elim garak #star trek deep space nine #garashir #image desc in alt text #pencil #ok so on the outset it may look to some viewers as though julian invited garak to play the villain to get dommed by the scary lizard #this is not the case. not in my heart #in my heart julian felt a burst of something funny when Garak asked him ''what if you'd killed me'' #and he responded ''what makes you think i wasn't trying'' and garaks face blooms into a sudden understanding and respect. ooh. #That's that heady shit. catching garak off guard. ooooh. that's that High Quality Endorphins Happening. but. gotta pack that up for later #(he will not unpack that later) because garak also just threatened to kill 5 of his friends who are STILL IN DANGER. NO TIME FOR THIS. #so after everything. and MONTHS after OMB. he invites garak to something like a playful rematch. sort of. #after all theres only so long that garak can stomach being a sidekick u know? he needs to be able to do his own machinations. #so they make a character for him thats a villain. a little more cerebral than falcon. a little more ambiguous in his motivations. #now there's also. a secret game at play here (there are always games. doctor) and its actually between garak and his own self #you see garak Also wants bashir to defeat his character. he also wants to be shocked. challenged. a little dismantled even (state forbid!) #and because garak wants that for himself? hes going to fight tooth and fucking nail to make sure it doesn't happen. #that Gayle clip from ''COMPANY IS COMING'' but its garak yelling ''WE CAN'T LET THEM KNOW WE [WANT]!!!'' #and its a horrible idea for both of them but. oh so so exciting #you understand. #these rituals arent intricate so much as they are transparent but all encompassing. a fish doesnt know its swimming in water until its out #you understand? you understand. #thank you to anyone who found the time to read these tags i hope you enjoyed yourself and/or found what you were looking for #also garak is dressed so boring bc hes hiding himself u know how it is

i don't think i ever mentioned this on here but i managed to track down proper HQ 1080p rips of sunny seasons 9-16 that don't look like they've been sent through a meat grinder. i guess most people just want a smaller filesize so those are the torrents that tend to endure, but it makes it like. almost completely impossible to find anything that isn't crushed to hell. they aren't accessible through the most commonly used tracker sites like pirate bay, 1337x.to, TGx, etc (trust me. i have LOOKED. for months. i stumbled upon these), and i had to dig through. a lot of shit. for them. so i'm thinking maybe i could upload them to the internet archive (they haven't had a problem with my sunny archive yet, but who knows), because hosting 170 1-2GB episodes would be. impossible (and as we learned during s16 airing, apparently most commercial cloud servers have stupid limits lol).

also found AP bio in actual 1080p quality; honestly didn't even know it existed, and with the amount of time it took to download from the one other person who was seeding it i doubt many other people know either. might uh. photodump. because i have a lot of screenshots that are twenty times nicer than the shit i had before. and jack is pretty <3

shut up i know they're mostly tits

if you guys are interested i can see what i can do, but like, each sunny season is 11-20 gigs, so you know. i'll be your blackmarket sunny dealer if you want to see your fave ep in significantly higher quality than you normally see on Hulu (caps out at 720p) or most other torrenting sites.

cmon you know you want to see the glears (glenn tears)

#if you think 2GB per ep is bad you dont want to know how massive the uncompressed bluray rips are #anyway. this is why i went and made my own dvd rips #because people rip and then convert and/or compress the shit out of the episodes #most of the early seasons of sunny are like. available as .avi files. #or crushed down to like 35 fucking megabytes #which. i dont even want to download that shit to find out how bad it looks but i can imagine #also nobody leaves the commentary tracks intact for some fucking reason #eventually id like to rip my 6 & 8 blurays properly and maybe get 5 & 7 & sunny christmas blurays but #i cannot justify spending like 200 bucks for a bluray drive capable of doing that #i used my jailbroken ps3 for 6 but it can only do so much #8 doesn't work at all unfortunately #well. it works with the assets from the game on the bluray ??? #but that's it #ada speaks

#exploud #luckily with this one i could get it more front-facing without having to acknowledge its rendered throat. score #yeah i don't know shit about exploud. i think it's name is a little silly. explode. loud. loud explosion. exploud #i honestly for a split second thought this bitch was a mega loudred. but no it's a whole-ass evolution and it's not even a retrofit one #and its cry doesn't even sound like an explosion so what's. the point. i dunno! #alright let'sss see what this guy's got goin for 'em #kiiinda middling stats beyond HP and is RU in gen 8‚ looks like? #no wait that was RU in gen 7.

"what do you like to do for fun?" "nothing." somebody needs to teach him how to have let loose and fun oh my god </3

#he literally never got to have fun growing up #he doesn't even know what his hobbies are #or what they should be #outside of what he was raised to do .. raised to be! #i have headcanons that zuko knows how to play chess #is / okay / at cooking. doesn't like it per say #doesn't / have / to do it. but knows how #but playing games??? being young???? doesn't know shit #imagine trying to teach modern zuko about fnaf #he would look at ur like ur fucking insane

Also....anytime someone says Travis's whole goal in this game is to get laid owes me like 10 bucks.

#And I mean that even before they learn of the truth in the finale #Before the line was even mentioned #Travis was already discussing with Sylvia about her keeping her promise (we don't know the promise at that point since this is post rank 10 #AND THEN that line happens #Even when he first talks about meeting her in the opening #It's just about how she looked and smelled good #No mention of that shit #I get the clanking of Death Metals fuck off sword is loud #but like it feels like people just ignore Travis's death metal monologue #Anyways....that's my second ted talk for now #Soon I'll come back and talk about just because a game is “light-hearted” doesn't mean you can't understand the themes or story #Sorry this always irks me the same way as when people say James from SH2 was just sexually frustrated and that's it #Also since this is a side blog I can't reply to replies on here :' ) forgive me #dom.txt

not an astarion defender in the traditional sense, but in the sense that the whims he gets approval from are funny. i would also approve of someone throwing shit at people who asked them to smear their face with said shit

#it's funny to be a menace in a video game and im not going to pretend its not #killing a clown IS funny #his 'whim approvals' are so funny #leevi liveblogs #on another note ive seen people be like ''astarions traumatized so he acts like that :(' or 'despite all that he could still be an asshole #both true but i feel like both are reductive #when it comes to his more cruel approval it's clear he acts the way he does due to his past. (i know thats like a duh no shit we all do tha #) but i mean like. if you look at all the trauma he's gone through and think about how it has affected him as a person #it makes sense for him to be selfish and maybe even cruel #and there are reasons he acts the way he does. but it doesn't mean he's done nothing wrong ever. it means he's an asshole who has reasons #to act like an asshole. #no ones past is an excuse for the way they're acting. yes it's a reason. but just because you went through unimaginable horrors doesnt mean #that everyone should ignore how you act toward others. he can still be held accountable while understanding where he's coming from #but i also don't like people ignoring his past experiences and seeing him as just a selfish asshole who is and has always been #and will always be an asshole just for funsies #does that make sense #also sometimes people read too much into what was meant as a funny little option #like. you know how some games have a serious main story and the most batshit silly side quests and no ones holding the side quests as the #absolute truth of it all #does anyone know what im talking about #idk talking in the tags with the character limit is a pain in the ass i have a lot more to say

Part of being Canadian is how similar we are to the US, and honestly not a single person on earth I think could genuinely pin point the difference between Canadian and American culture but the average Canadian. Americans assume we're the same as them (we aren't), even a bunch of Canadians think we're Americans, especially around voting seasons, and about half our cultural identity is "we're Not American!" but there are some cultural differences and if we all spoke French equally we could have had a language distinction but nooooo. Despite not being America unfortunately such a fuck off massive country right below your teeny tiny ass country (population wise) does result in a cultural avalanche from said fuck off massive country. Especially when you share a language.

The war of 1812 will forever be funny to me though because Americans were like "hmm maybe Canadians would also like to tell the British to fuck off, we will invade to show them!" And Canada was like *burns down the white house* and we've been tentatively chill with each other ever since lmao (even when we probably like. Shouldn't be cool with America but like. We could not risk that implosion politically or otherwise it'd be suicide).

#winters ramblings #apparently americans think they won the war of 1812 and you did not. you did not achieve your goal #and a bit over 100 years later canada would nicely ask sempi to be free and britian decided yeah i guess #you guys did a vimmy ridge in WW1 i guess you can be yourselves #and native people- still unable to vote and would be ineligible for another some 50 years or so- were probably like ??!!!!?!!! #REMOVE these pale faced demons!! and i cant say i blame them for that even if my settler ass does not mind being from here #no fucked up spiders very few fucked up bugs ok seasons amd weather where *I* live anyway #i cant complain too much aint no spiders the size of my head OR fucked up weirdo beez on steroids that look like some feckin #HUNGER GAMES ass shit and not an earth bug. if i lived on either coast though my opinion would be different #especially the east coast FUCK their ocean-y assed winters lake effect is bad enough. the SNOW BELT is bad enough #i cando without that shite too although outwest aint better especially in the praries but still no fucked up bugs so 🤷🏻‍♀️ #anyway i do genuinely believe if youre not canadian you wouldnt even know the difference between America and Canadian culture #OR the difference of history and even CANADIANS dont know our voting system isnt the same #like we dont even have half the shit Americans do like an electoral college and canadians STILL think we need to vote #as if we're in a 2 party system. we arent. arguably were in a 4 party system but 3 if you reasonably dont count Greens #its fuckin weird though because youll see people talk about canada and america interchangeably #and like i cant evenblame em when even some canadians get confused or WORSE actually WANT to be america #usually conservatives who like deepthroating boot #although i do think this is somewhat odd as a phenomenon because America doesn't have ONE culture #what canada is near idential to is NORTHERN Americans like the south is a whole Thing with a textured history #like obviously the north is too but culturally i get that more than what the south has going because you could even argue #the south have MULTIPLE cultures and in the north you could at least argue the coasts are distinct culturally #like they got terms like pacific north west we dont have ANY of that we are an EXTREMELY small rural country #its strange to confise it with America but at the same time like. yeah that makes perfect sense to me. and not all at once lol

Maybe it’s just me but I find it incredibly funny that in act 1 there’s about 5-7 cards in each tribe (not counting unclassified cards) EXCEPT for insect cards where there’s 10 (11 counting Stinkbug, 13 counting strange larva’s other forms). Leshy just really likes bugs and inscrybed a disproportionate amount of them for his card game.

#Stoat Speak #This trend continues in KMod too; she adds two cards for every other tribe and three insects #He'd justify it with something like ''Some beasts are more numerous than others.'' You can just say you like insects best it's okay #Also explains why he accepts the ringworm for the ring trial. Not what he was looking for but hey it's a bug #Hell; a ringworm isn't even an actual worm IRL he just made shit up to add more bugs #Very similar to 03 adding cowboys with backstories for no reason even after saying he doesn't like adding non-gameplay related flavor #Come on guys you can admit you're being self-indulgent in your world-takeover tabletop games it's okay

“she’s not out for conquest”

hm. debatable.

#im trying to avoid this going into main tags and shit bc im trying to tag everything for my own blog #but i also do not know if tumblr still uses that first five tags go into the search tags thing #bit anyway so yeah also hubert agrees with me that she's out for conquest i mean he and she both say it themselves #it just so happens she also has massive power trips and wants to see them lying defeated before her before carrying on o.o #like okay look that's a bit fckn much. one: the only victory she'll accept despite how she tends to say #she'd let people surrender and stop fighting her and yadda yadda but here she proves that's not true #but also? idk the tone and wording is like... more aggressive than it even needs to be #she could just say she'd only accept a victory where she defeats all her enemies but nope. it's this instead #meanwhile in all other routes in both games they literally force you as byleth to be like i don't wanna fight her #or the main lord of the route is like i don't wanna fight her and they try to reason with her and let her get out with her life #then we have her here like nah we're gonna defeat them no questions asked. in all other routes they try to #find another way out that doesn't involve fighting except in SS where at that point the Church knows better #and they know she won't stop fighting them until someone loses but in that route they force you as Byleth #to say you don't want to kill her or ask if you can't walk the same path as her #to which Seteth very rightfully gets totally pissed off at Byleth for that bc wtf why would you say that after all this and be on our side #Three Hopes #Edelgard #DCE Comments

Sometimes I'm surprised that monster hunter isn't more popular among the creature design and spec evo corners of tumblr, at least the portions that also play video games, and then I remember that it's just about as hard as soulsborne games (I'd argue some specific entries are even harder) but doesn't have any of the atmospheric or story elements to attract people. It gets by on sheer gameplay alone and isn't a pvp game either. There is no way to make the game easier besides picking one of the less mechanically complex weapons and git gud. If it wasn't for the neat dinosaurs I couldn't think of a game less alluring to the average tumblr user

#a lot of other games it's a combination of escaping into another world with stuff like immersion and story #monster hunter as an ip adamantly refuses to elaborate about the world it takes place in #there is no overarching story and there's basically no lore with few exceptions e.g. fatalis but even that's really barebones #mh is just like. you're a hunter. now go kick the shit out of dinosaurs with your giant guts sword #there have been a lot of memes over the years about how it also doesn't have a tutorial it just expects you to figure it out #it has extensive ''explain how this works'' popups but they only exist for certain mechanics #and somehow half the time manage to communicate nothing of use #but actually important stuff like ''how do i use this weapon'' are not explained ANYWHERE within the game itself #and it has some of the most complicated mechanics i've ever seen in a real-time combat game i.e. charge blade and hunting horn pre rise #it just does the equivalent of giving you a gun you need a master's degree to operate at full potential and throws you to the wolves #and if you try to naively look up how some of the weapons work you get multi-page hard-to-parse essays #i STILL don't know how hunting horn works pre-rise because every time i try to read a guide my eyes glaze over #like there are perhaps few other franchises more unfriendly to an ''easy mode my beloved''-type person #not to rag on those people. there's nothing wrong with that but some games are just NOT going to work with you in that way #i pretty much only like it because i'm unfortunately a Tryhard Gamer #and the feeling of being a small human killing a dragon god by sheer skill and willpower is like crack cocaine to me #i would be more frustrated by mh's lack of any lore to speak of if it weren't for the gameplay injecting dopamine straight into my brain

simon jordan sticking up for joey barton's initial complaints about women in football media, what a shock 🙄

#'you cant say anything because you have situations like last year when souness said footballs a mens game and beth england complained that #he's a dinosaur and should be binned' firstly keep my girls name our of your mouth #secondly SHE WAS RIGHT! souness is a dinosaur who has let the modern game completely pass him even if she might have overreacted to his #comments on that one occasion #'it should be a meritocracy' then why do i have to listen to so many men be shit commentators and shit pundits #kicking a ball well back in the day doesn't mean they're good at their job now so why do they keep getting hired. they're shit at their job #but not a single one of those men gets the same level of scrutiny as women!!!! #in fact playing mens football at the highest level means nothing when it comes to anything else in football #by the 'you have to play at the highest level to understand the game' jose mourinho should never have been a manager right? but look at his #career!!! #anyway thats my daily 'shut up simon jordan you're not as clever as you think you are' rant #stacey speaks

ben diskin is one of the best things fire emblem has ever had and i brook no argument

#DCB Comments #he even said he doesn't rly know anything abt FE bc he doesn't play the genre #he doesn't even rly know the plot! amazing that his lines make it sound like #he knows EXACTLY what he's going on. like obvs he has a director helping and all but like #before I saw that video where he mentioned that I'd have never guessed he just #had absolutely no idea about the material he was working with bc he hits all the right notes and stuff #it's crazy hearing his lines and how perfect they fit into everything knowing he knows jack shit abt the games lmao #just speaks to his talent imo but it also makes me want to look for other stuff he's in just to hear him voice other characters #DCB Three Houses Stuff #DCB Three Hopes Stuff
