doodles of my pikmin 4 captain ft the horrible decision i made to ship her with louie

#im on my 3rd playthrough rn #i played as pom first. then i jsut threw together a captain for my 2nd playthrough bc i didnt know how not to be pom #and now i have one i genuinely like #her name is akari btw. i might end up changing it tho just so shes less attached to me #ALSO she looks way more masc in game tbh.........shes been girlmoded #i have to make her transfem now. thats how that works right #also i should mention that i dont actually selfship with louie. i just thought itd be funny bc theyre both blue and then it escalated #im more of a collin guy personally. now watch me never draw him again out of shame #ok anyways. tag time #pikmin #pikmin 4 #louie pikmin #collin pikmin #☆ my art #☆ my ocs #? question mark? #does she count as an oc i have no idea #edit how does this have 100 fucking notes all of this looks like shit #you all hate me and want me dead. im sure of it

[spitblaze]

if i am being perfectly honest i dont think i remember any other clear indications of trans men existing while growing up beyond that family guy bit and like one transphobic joke about phalloplasty i saw on saturday night live

#spitblaze says things #'what about sheik in majoras mask' #okay 1. i didnt have any consistent access to anything besides handholds until i got a ps2 in like 2005/6 #2. i didnt even play that game until late into the wii era #3. its the fucking. its the goddamn mulan problem of 'i was only pretending to be a boy im really a girl ive always been a girl haha' #and you might understand how that might not actually register. u understand #like the earliest one i saw after i finally fucking learned that there are trans men was. goddamn. sigh. ace attorney robin #outed. her immediate reaction was 'phew i can stop pretending now! ive been a girl this whole time. the girliest girl to ever girl #my parents made me do it to get in easier but i haaaate pretending to be a boy tee hee' #thats another one that stuck with me. #trans #ftm

[red-dyed-sarumane]

what are some cool games u have played? dont matter if u mentioned before. tell me again tell me again :D

uhh hmm.

well okami is my all time favorite the art & the music & the message/story are all just incredible theres not a single time ive finished it i havent cried. i absolutely adore ryoshima coast ive spent so many hours just running around there to listen to music. which fun fact for u i only know about this game bc in about 6th grade i picked up okamiden bc i thought the little doggy was cute & was like fine i'll play as this boy if i get a cool dog and u cannot imagine how excited i was to find out u DID play as the little dog. i was SOOOOO obsessed literally my exact thoughts were 'if issun is ammy's celestial envoy then i am going to be chibis' i have a metric fuck ton of fan art i did at the time bc i thought it was quote "the epic-est game for ds ever" also cried every time i finished it. i was 13 so i didnt know what "being down bad" was but do know i was as obsessed with kurow as i was with d-ne later and now tenshi not a single irl friend was unaware i was in love with him. also fun fact for u bc at the same time i was also getting super into vocaloid i was so convinced my vocap name would end up as chibiP to the point i named myself that in pkmn x chibiP after chibiterasu of course. please enjoy my banger old art which is not even a fraction of my output

yume nikki is my next favorite game specifically the og that changed my brain chemistry as a kid. i adore that game so much its hard to put it into words. its just so unlike anything else. there is absolutely nothing in the game that can directly harm u theres no real health meter theres no way to die during the main play the absolute worst that will ever happen is u get stuck or woken up. in a horror game. which is already just amazing. and the whole horror aspect just plays on something i dont think is often done as well in many other things. ur alone. u wander and wander thru worlds that loop and connect and seemingly have nothing to do with each other. theres no dialogue; talking to npcs just gets u a noise or animation at best. ur entirely alone with just urself. its all dreams so u know everything is of madotsuki's own creation, another layer to the all u have is urself feeling. the art is just unusual i cant even say any of it on its own is in anyway scary. the whole thing shouldnt be scary and yet every time i start wandering in a world i cant help but feel unease. amazing 10/10 no other game will ever have what this gave me.

everyone knows i play pkmn the best is still pmd sky that also rewired my brain i still cant play it without crying.

its been a long time since i was really just playing it as the chapters released & got translated but 1bitheart is so so so important to me too. i dont kin for multiple reasons but if i did nanashi would be my first choice. like- without saying that to her i got my one irl friend to play once & when she saw how nanashi was she turned to me and went "this is just you" hes very important to me even now. absolutely loved the whole friendship sim & the story & its twists & the endings & their implications left me in shambles at 1 am on a school night. my fave charas are nanashi enri & saaya btw. i should replay this.

i also love the etrian odyssey series i love the character portraits (esp with the more recent games' color customization) i LOVE the dungeon art & i think all the monster designs are so cool. adore the whole make ur own map aspect keeps me so entertained to take a step & look around & chart all the walls & path ways. unfortunately i fucking suck at every single one i am not very good at strategy games so i end up stuck at or before the 3rd stratum. but thats okay its still fun to me.

the other one i'll talk about at length is spirit of the north another game i loved the art of. u play as a fox & get a partner spirit fox & i just love it SOOOO much. its also a game with 0 dialogue but theres A Lot going on it if u care to follow along & explore & dig into details & the game play is also pretty fun to me. this is the one game i started learning the speedrun btw thats also a very fun way to play it but ABSOLUTELY play it as intended first it has so much to offer

aaaand special mentions to omori, oneshot, witch's house, mermaid swamp, corpse party, & limbus company

#asks #kuki #idk if id say omori was good storywise but it WAS fun & i loved the portrayal of escapism #i love the ethical dilemma of oneshot #everyone loves witchs house. tragic story. #there was something in particular about mermaid swamp that made it memorable but i have to play it again its been years #corpse party also hits on something in the 'ur alone and trapped' feeling that i really like. cant say its actually good tho #& limbus is so fucking hard FUCK the spicebush fight PLEASE just let me overlevel w corp ryoshu so she can sweep & i can progress- #ah but the story is equal levels fucked up & horrifying and also the funniest thing i have ever read in my life. emotional whiplash. love i #i also played the mogeko games in high school those were something. i really liked memoca from wadanohara & moge-ko from mogeko castle #im not actually a gamer sorry i dont play much. i mostly just play pkmn #and proseka. but i dont care about anyone but 25ji & i cant read their stories bc they trigger me so i just tappy tap to songs #this reminds me i still have to catch up on hte maigoen game. wasnt doing well when it released but i might be able to handle that now #the. kanata chapter i think it is. i played the others. bgm is always so good thank u nilfruits im pretty sure thats who does it #and of course as soon as kamitsubaki city ensemble releases i will be playing that. & u will be hearing about it #bc ill get mad they make rime & friends cry #thisbis so long sorry

(gets ignored by my group of friends that i’ve known my whole life when i try to ask as carefully as possible if they want to maybe go out to eat with me on my birthday): :,(

(remembers I now have new people in my life who are always enthusiastic about going out with me, and try out new games and anime just because i told them i like them, and say insane shit to me like “I really wanna do this thing but Only if you’re there as well when I do it because having you there with me is what makes it special”): :D

#it only took all of highschool for me to not be someone’s second choice #graduated from b tier friend to a friendgroup in which tiers dont exist because we all like each other tf #and maybe constantly worrying about being the next person voted out of the friendship or the weakest link is like uhh not normal actually #and whk knows maybe some day the other shoe will drop and this post will feel like a kick to the face #but today im just happy that rejection doesnt quite sting the same because i now have people who make me feel like the first choice #i think im starting to love this group of people god i’m a little scared about it. but they might be learning to love me too? #i mentioned casually how theres this one junk food place i always wanted to try as a kid but my dad never let me and- #one of my friends INSTANTLY went “Oh I’ll take you there!

Once again experiencing the fun if slightly frustrating adventure when playing RPGs to find your character's Actual Outfit

#wandering over the words #August plays games #catch me literally making my V drive to every clothing store in the game to find Clothes #so quick might I add that my game struggled to load several times nrngrngn #just fucking launching myself at the counter wheezing like ''DO YOU HAVE COOL CLOTHES'' #sorry Takemura!! can't help you rn buddy!! I'm having a ~FASHION MONTAGE~ #my boy's been running after you lot all this time!! he's having some ME TIME!!! #(I already found his chosen weapon and vehicle now I need his clothes nrngn #I'm closer to finding The One. he now actually has the vibe I want him to have but they're not The Actual Clothes yet. #I allowed myself to look up the clothes in the game so I know. some examples of what I want.)

[dimiclaudeblaigan]

this is a very venty post don't mind me :D

that nintendo direct was so horrible.

it was literally like 80 percent remakes and remasters.

never in my life have i seen an announcement video exist just to say "every game you've ever known since the 90s is being remade/remastered, sorry, we ran out of originality".

literally like all the video game market is anymore is remakes and the movie industry is just as bad.

the nso releases are fine because they're not like, remakes taking up full game slots. they're old games that are being made accessible and that's great... but there's no need to remake this many games when they can do that. remakes used to be rare. remember stuff like the wii u shop and stuff? with all the games they had on those things? now it's a tiny selection and everything else is a remake :/

also I feel like a lot of new rpgs are just like... lowkey fe knockoffs now instead of original rpgs.

i'm happy for like... two existing remakes, but one of them is mario rpg which people wanted waaaaAAAAAYYYY before the remake and remaster era, and the other is baten kaitos which im not actually happy about remaster-wise (the updated ui is trash, they took out very specific charms of the original ui), just happy that it will get more recognition/notice from people since it was never popular.

they also completely removed the english voice acting which like okay yeah it wasn't always that great but the voices fit perfectly and it wasn't as bad as fans meme on it for! it just sounded like they were talking through a tube and that was actually the worst part of it lol.

someone suggested to me that they may have just lost the data for it, but idk. i wish they'd just admit that somehow if it was the case, because it bugs me that the english audio is just completely gone when ultimately i really liked it. i wanted the game to be accessible to newer players, sure, but i also wanted the english audio there. ig that's because i grew up with it and i liked it, but it's still such a bummer for me!

paper mario being put on the nso and tyd getting a whole remaster does make me sad tho bc it feels like they're leaving the original in the dust when it was so good. if you're gonna do tyd, at least do them both.

good for innersloth though, i'm sure they never imagined being on a nintendo direct. they're the real winners here.

#DCB Comments #the FE fandom is just as bad too. every single solitary direct that comes up they're like #OMG FE4 REMAKE. like ??? I used to be just annoyed but #now I'm just feeling the “shut the actual fuck up” mood bc it's ALL they care about for FE anymore #nobody wants new FE games. they're just obsessed with the idea of remakes #it's more annoying bc it's all the majority of the FE fandom talks abt anymore #also does anyone even know if games on the NSO ever get a remake or if originals of remakes go onto NSO? #wondering bc I don't think I've seen a game on NSO get a remake or vice versa #like I was always wondering if Mario RPG would be on the NSO but it never was and now it has a remake coming #since FE4 6 and 7 are on the NSO I can't see why they would be if remakes were coming #also if they're in the process of making a new console do y'all still think they'll release Gamecube on the NSO? #idk if they'd release PoR on it since they'd prob remaster that one (I don't want a remake for it but remaster might be nice if they #update the map graphics and stuff) since it would net them way more money to release the game as a standalone but if they #did put it on NSO I'd really love that. I get up I play PoR. I lay down I PoR. I go in the car I play PoR (I don't drive lol) #but anyway yeah I'm just tired of every single Direct having FE fans being annoying as fuck #also ppl were apparently legit like omg the new banner coming means fe4 remake will be on the direct #oh my goooooddddd stfu at this point I just don't want it remade bc i am 💅 p e t t y 💅 bc ppl are so annoying abt this #when a leak for a new game came out (engage) from a very reputable source ppl knocked it and called it ''obviously fake'' #(the joke is now not just ON them but IS them) but then when they got a ''leak'' abt an fe4 remake they ate it up #like wow lol. wow. they won't believe anything unless you say fe4 remake then suddenly they believe anything you say abt that alone #it's rly sad that my favorite game has become a cesspool of annoying fe fans #the thing is fe doesn't come out with a whole lot of remakes. it never has #it's just that when gaiden got a remake ppl have NOT shut the fuck up ever since #and I've seen ppl saying every game under the sun should be remade #frankly if they remake anything right now it should be poor fucking shadow dragon (yes. the remake.) #anyway most of y'all know how annoyed i get abt this lol like yeah maybe someday fe4 could get remade but #it's the fact that the modern day fans are SO fucking annoying about it now. back ten or so years ago fe4 fans were just happy TO play it #we were just happy to have it at all even in emulated form and it being an snes game #we loved it as it was and didn't bitch about it bc it wasn't uwu modern enough (and i've played casual mode since new mystery) #now ppl are just like oh i like it but i don't want to play it unless it's remade

[falled-over]

i got a ds as my christmas present a few years back with a copy of animal crossing (which is considered a bad version of the game btw) and something i keep coming back to is these little objectively somewhat pointless interactions like going for a coffee. you just go to the cafe, and buy a cup. you drink it, and you leave. i always say goodbye before i go. im trying to say thanks. i cant really see any practical reason for doing it, it is objectively just a money suck, but i love doing it. at first i thought the little bird who runs it might open up to me but he doesnt seem the type, but i still like him, so i go and visit him. it feels so real. like he remembers me but doesnt like talking about it. its such an incredibly special and intimate feeling. i wonder if other games at the time were able to cultivate this or if it was unique

#ive only really played modern games where everything has a reward. it was so nice to do something so close to reality #im sure there might be some in game reason to do it but i dont know. maybe you get energy or something #i dont really care. i felt like i was forming a connection emotionally. i wish we still valued that in games #its the only thing im really interested in. #if you have any game recommendations for the ds lmk actually. my sister got a 3ds this year #its funny. i wanted a gaming console so bad as a kid. specifically a ds or a wii #and we have them now! and i dont much care about them. and im kind of glad. im glad i was forced to do something else #i do not look down on gaming as a hobby at all but i am glad its a smaller one for me #i would also like to talk about a similar feeling i felt when i played subnautica (which they took off the gamepass before i could finish i #what the fuck man.) #they briefly put the sequel on so obvi i gave it a shot but i feel it was terrible in comparison #something uniquely insane about the first one is the feeling of isolation. the deep fear #you crash land on the planet and immediately all your communication off-planet is cut and it seems everyone perished in the crash #you spend a couple of hours getting situated and then the ships core explodes. a huge shock wave shakes the entire planet #standing on top of my pod and looking out at the mountain-sized wreck was an insane feeling of isolation. you have to experience it. #and then you start picking up signals on your little tablet. other escape pods. the signals from previous missions who came to do research #you travel out. find food. build things. the whole time working towards seeing if you can find the other pods #each one #empty #often containing a log of their last moments. usually eaten by something. you got lucky #you landed in the only area without a massive predator. #you find alien tech. learn about a disease that wiped out the planet. the entire time you are completely alone #its such a unique feeling. no npcs. no story you have to follow if you dont want to. but god is there not much else. you'll get around to i #discovering the alien species is horrifying and amazing #its an incredible game and i think its sense of loneliness is its greatest achievement. being truly alone on an uncaring planet #sitting there and watching the fish swim by #its unmatched. truly #i would actually love game recommendations if you have any. i love games with unique story lines or characters too #im much more into stories than gameplay #which totally goes against what i just said about subnautica in theory but not in practice

how can it only be Thursday 😔

#one more day of work.. wtf 😢 #im so peeved bc work had me so beat today.. i want to play a game or jam or SOMETHING to raise morale but for mental eelness reasons that #feels wrong.. like noo a customer cussed you out so now you must fuck off the rest of the day in repentance 😐 even eating dinner is #challenging.... maybe it's not the eelness but actually maybe the brief stint w catholicism in my childhood.. catholic guilt will haunt you #foreeeever 💃🏻 but. why! :( i would like to enjoy my 14 hours before i have to go back in the trenches and get condescended to by white #people 😭😭 tomorrow maybe I'll jump over the counter and start swinging on these people 😐 /j #but christ.. it's so exhausting. and like.. if you maintain the customer service persona you get cussed out. but god forbid you speak your #mind!! 😐 or speak at all! peasant! 😒🙄🙄 stupid retail worker #i wish all customers a very die 😐 anyways pray for me comrades.. i might just disintegrate so I don't have to go to work tomorrow 🤭😞 #sriracha.txt

[craycraybluejay]

Hey, anything we could to to try and help you settle in the meantime before tomorrow? :((

Honestly, I have no idea, but I really appreciate the care. I think I will just daydream and maybe do terrible things to that person and their loved ones in the daydream, lol. If you cannot get over shock and other insanity, you can definitely turn it into enjoyment with a little bit of overdramatic violence and other things.

#anon response #honestly it would've been worse if they said something way more specific and up my alley or related to my thoughts on them in that moment #i would've just flat out freaked out and might actually have thrown up instead of mouth just tasting like it #mortifying ordeal of being known #etc etc #like i wouldnt do most of the terrible things. some with consent sure but aside from that no #but if they managed to say something else more accurate i might have actually freaked out and like. violenced them #idk. its really hard to put into words exactly the way im feeling rn #just. feeling. weird. #and sick #will sleep soon that will fix me enough for now #and hopefully i can summon the absolute balls needed to open up more to therapist and maybe friend #im scared either way. im scared ill explain feeling wrong. im scared my rage and disgust and shock is so loud #i wish i could know for sure that whatever i need to say to contextualize is always ok #i guess i could play the 'beating around the bush in 5d' game #where i throw person any mildly related topic in an impersonal and larger than life way and see what they do w it #thats the bare minimum sometimes when im not fucking retarded ab talking to ppl and am rightly paranoid #im just so bad at the correct nt games of parsing a person's character #long games.. rumination.. shock.. hurt.. rage.. #im sleepy from the drugs so its even harder to explain #im rambling. i would appreciate cute fandom memes in the morning or something. and no bad news or anti bullshit

I have thoughts abt Beanix but they are NOT coherent ooooargh!!!! HIM!!!!!!!

#yea a lot of them r very nicely summarized in ‘he is trying to teach Apollo a lesson’ and ‘if the whole world thinks he forged evidence #then why not ACTUALLY do it. the fuck is it gonna cost him?’ #but like. mmmgh. mmmrmph!!! #grabbing him and shaking him by the shoulders so hard #bc Miles was under the SAME scrutiny and yea he never got disbarred over it but there were rumors and then active accusations and the very #real and serious threat OF being disbarred. it never came to pass but it WAS there #and like. it was phoenix’s arguable naïveté and his ‘blind’ faith in Miles which halted that shit in its tracks #if Phoenix had this same sort of ‘being naive will cost you everything’ attitude. almost pessimistic. at that time? things would’ve been #FUCKED. and like ‘but Phoenix always believes in Miles!!!’ Because He Trusts People Wholeheartedly At That Current Stage of His Life #and like two sides same coin or whatever but how much of him not DIRECTLY (visibly) going to Miles for help is like #class trial. everyone thinks he stole the money so he might as well have. and he goes to apologize. except Miles declares that it’s not #fair. there’s no proof so Phoenix shouldn’t have to apologize if he didn’t do it #but now. he did it. maybe not in THAT trial. but he gave forged evidence to Apollo. this time there’s proof. this time he did it. #for real. no takebacks. and this is the Prosecutor Edgeworth in endless pursuit of the dirty bitter truth. and it has to be a pretty heavy #weight to think of what this truth would mean to Miles in particular. considering their history (in Phoenix’s mind anyways) #I think miles would understand. not agree with it but understand. a forgivable transgression (just not forgivable to the part of Phoenix #that is still himself. that isn’t playing a game of deception and recognizes that his own genuine faith saved multiple lives.) #ARGH. There’s more. microwaving him like a fucking burrito there’s SO MUCH MORE!!!!
