Hate it when the Stardew Valley NPCs get mad at me for digging in their garbage. Like bitch I carry this town on my back. "Ew! Thats awful!" You know what else would be awful? The decaying shambles this town will be left in when I leave because you were all mean to me. Without me Pelican Town is nothing do not fucking test me

#video games #SO fucking true!!!

"For the next few minutes of our lives, you will not address me as father. I will not address you as my son.

We are nothing but rivals, stone hearted and cold.

These masks we wear will obscure our faces so that no bias corrupts our hearts.

That is how we will fight in the most fairest and honest fashion

to crown the next champion.

But no matter the outcome of this battle,

know that I will always be proud of you.

My son."

(aka the moment when AU N challenges his father for the position of Champion, and the creative liberties they take to prevent bias in the fight.)

the problem with fairy portals is they were designed in the 1970s as a stopgap, under the assumption that they would be replaced after the first 10 years, when the Duchess of Loathesome Satin and Splendid Offal's cycle of death and rebirth was due to roll over. The thinking was, her shed carapace would be such an ample source of fine allegorical essence that waiting until then to enact a more durable, long-term infrastructure plan would be worth it, because the next-gen ley ways woulda barely needed servicing and could have run smoothly for the next 1,000 years and 1,000 days, when her vileness's Moribund Arousal would recur and provide a new batch of raw material. But then in '82 when Wee William Prickertoe tricked his mother the duchess into severing her connection to the flow of time and subsequently took the throne for himself, he slashed the TransVeil department's budget and funneled all of those resources into "elixir development" (don't get me started). So basically we're still using portals that are half a century old and weren't meant to last for more than a decade at most. It's really no wonder they're so unreliable these days, the hardware just gets repainted and retrofitted every couple years when some petty aphid-king or other seizes power and invents a new season or wants to give the Old Passages a new look

If you just wandered in here for some reason, I've been rambling about this for a while. The short version, though: I forgot to swap people around while I was setting up my initial colonists, so I accidentally started the game with a randomly-generated 13-year-old with almost no skills. She almost immediately picked up an ancient beer from the ground and chugged it, so needless to say, she immediately endeared herself to me.

Since this whole thing started happened by accident, I never documented the basic situation here, so might as well start with that.

Meet Yoshiko "Happy" Russell. She started as a solo mechanitor, which means that she installed a chip in her brain that allows her to control robots mechanoids, got discriminated against as a result, and decided to flee to the edge of known space to live by herself.

As if that wasn't bad enough, this is the backstory the game gave her:

Thanks to this, the game often displays her name as 'Happy, Pushover.'

She isn't good at anything except research. The only other thing she's competent at is shooting. She's not a horrible artist, but she's not good, either. I think she's only managed a single work with a quality above Poor.

She's also now 17 years old, because Rimworld accelerates aging for anyone under 20 to get them to adulthood faster. Going from 13 - 18 takes 2 actual years.

Also, if you are familiar with how Rimworld handles ages, you will notice that she's 3433 chronological years old (i.e. she was in cryosleep for millennia), which has to be one of the highest that I've seen. It's also confusing, because it's now the year 5501, which means that she was born in 2068. According to the fiction primer, humanity started spreading out from Earth around 2100. So this kid was, like, the first person off the planet. I'm gonna say that relativity bullshit is to blame.

She follows the Creticonian Creed, which came from the game's 'randomly generate a lightweight ideoligion and develop it through play' option. I added a couple of precepts to it before starting, and the result can basically be summarized as "it is a moral imperative to automate as much work as possible so I can spend more time on Space Reddit." This is a philosophy that makes her constantly a little bit happier because she has automated turrets outside her front door. The randomly-generated title for the leader is 'Great Great Automancer,' and they are entitled to wear a beret. Which is all to say that it sounds exactly like something that a 13-year-old who's too smart for her own good would come up with. I swear that apart from the tenets, I didn't touch any of this.

Arrival at the destination~ [Festival of Family 4/8] Check here for Part 1 , Part 2 & Part 3!

WIPs under the cut!

Another piece that's been under works for over a year, but I'm happy enough with it to finally post it and move on. The composition was the greatest challenge yet again, struggled with it for a long while. This diamond shape clicked at some point, while the greenery & subtle asymmetry livened up the scene just enough. Another challenge was to shade Emmet without the uniform getting too dark or too light or too similar value with the BG middle part! Notable: The rest of this set of pieces WON'T be as detailed or rendered as this one! It wasn't my intention to go this far in the first place, but I got carried away fiddling with things for wayyy too long with the first half of the set. I don't think I can put as much effort into the rest, but I want to finish the story & maybe learn new things on the go.

(Probably) a tough question: which Disney feature film opening scene I used as a reference? (At first I didn't realise it but a friend who saw the WIP pointed it out how this had quite similar vibes so I decided to use it to my advantage hehe!)
