hello beloveds ☺️

Never before have I identified with a tv character so much.

I don’t have a problem. You have a problem.

I have a feeling that a lot more people are going to use my eyes now that they've fixed the lighting jank for Dawntrail. I mean, just look at them. Wowza.

Almost NO ONE uses the same eyes and face model as Fyx because it looks pretty awful in character creation.

Below are two screenshots I took to demonstrate the jank to my friends on discord. These are fairly recent. On the left below, any light source reflecting upward makes my character's face look... so bad. Just ugh. And that's how it looks from many angles in character creation. But when I step out of it, like on the right below...That's how I see my character 90% of the time. I get compliments from strangers a lot because they think she's pretty. And I think she's pretty, too, but I never see her face in the wild! Hardly any NPCs have this face.

So, I'm pretty stoked that my inner eyelids aren't showing anymore. Finally.

#maybe if hollywood actually wanted to invest in writers #we'd have more original content #instead of them constantly dipping into animated shows and remakes

the problem with having a decade old tumblr blog is that there are posts on it from a decade ago

'Enjoy it despite its flaws' is one thing, but Mass Effect somehow invented its own category: 'simultaneously one of the most flawed and the most well-crafted sci-fi stories I've ever experienced'. These games are incredible. They’re the worst. All the women are sexualized. All the women have deeply flawed and complex personalities without being either demonized or romanticized. The first available f/f ship seems to be written along the guidelines of 'what would a straight man find hot'. As the games go on, they effortlessly include multiple same sex romance options given just as much care and development as the the opposite sex ones. You can play as a xenophobic murderhobo asshole. You can play as someone genuinely caring but also harsh, who inspires growth and co-operation wherever you go but who makes hard choices when you have to. You can kill civilians and punch reporters and commit genocide. You can stop a generational war and mediate peace and save several species from extinction. The robots are stereotypically evil cannon fodder. The robots are deeply complex with a tragic history. Your team mates are assholes with xenophobic opinions or justifications for police brutality and genocide, or they just want excuses to Do Murder. You team mates are deeply flawed and can be urged to grow alongside you. The most important aliens are all humanoids. There are plant aliens and jellyfish aliens and insect aliens and elephant aliens and aliens who can’t share an atmosphere with us. You have to drive around countless identically boring planets with little to show for it. You get to discover hidden secrets and civilisations millions of years old and live through some of the most emotionally harrowing scenes in storytelling history. I am going absolutely insane about it.

Audio mixing is a big problem for me.

And: If you're watching on a computer or tablet, anything trying to do full stereo with surround sound is going to sound like ass. A lot of streaming services don't have options to change audio down to just stereo (which is still going to sound worse coming out of a single speaker). Some sites/programs default to a sound quality that might not be the best for whatever device you're using, be it TV or phone. Helps to see if there's a settings option to fiddle with, but not all offer it.

Also, I'm HoH, so subtitles all day long.

Why do people need subtitles to watch a show in English? I don't get it. What is wrong with the ears of young people?
