#I got to the first boss

[metro-nix]

I started Transistor after admiring this cool looking sword for YEARS and I gotta say. he's really pretty but the game is so incredibly linear

#mx creations #traditional art #fanart #Transistor #Transistor fanart #Transistor game #I got to the first boss #the game didn't save it #so I started again while livestreaming for a friend #hoping that save will survive but even so I have to wait till she can watch again before I play #so I don't know anything past boss 1 #still enough to be disappointed that the sword. is a guy in a sword.

Language divides and building bridges.

Elesa’s feeling homesick. Emmet, bless his heart, tries to help by infodumping while Ingo frantically runs off to find water (crying is a very dehydrating experience).

((Would you look at that! The kids are picking up kantonese and galarian from each other!))

BONUS:

Heh. Callback.

Splatoon 3: Side Order is good, but not great. I still highly recommend it, but if you care about the story, you're going to be disappointed. Quick review: spoilers ahead.

Side Order was the devs experimenting with Splatoon's gameplay loop. The campaign is a rogue-like, and it works amazingly well. Super fun, super challenging, building my deck and fighting through challenges with the stakes of resetting really scratched an itch in my brain. They did a great job with it.

Unfortunately, I feel like priority went to game design rather than story. Much of the mysterious artwork we saw in the first teaser trailer was completely unused; turns out, all of that was just concept art that never made it into the final product. Side Order failed to make me care about what was happening. I don't know why the protagonist had to be Agent 8; it could've been anyone else and the story would've worked the same.

Octo Expansion was the absolute peak of meshing story and gameplay. The campaign's hook is insanely strong; we immediately empathize with Agent 8 because we know from previous lore that octolings like her have been trapped underground for all their lives. We care about her fight to the surface because it's a fundamentally ideological fight for freedom. The plot stuff about Tartar and the Thangs is just nice set dressing; 8's fight for freedom is the real story.

There's none of that in Side Order. I don't particularly care about Marina's metaverse, even if it's tied to Octo Expansion's story. I don't know why Acht is there other than backstory stuff. It really feels like 8 is just told to do something and she does it because she's the protagonist; she has zero personal stakes or motivations in the conflict. This is a story blunder the devs did in Splatoon 3's default campaign––forgetting to give the protagonist a personal reason to fight––that I hoped would be fixed here, but alas.

What makes it worse is that the gameplay and story progression are completely out of sync. I beat the entire game on my third run in 4 hours. With each run, you get up to two keys to potentially unlock bits of story. That means you'll get about one piece of the story every two runs. There are twelve pieces of the story; I got the first and then beat the whole damn game. Now I have to go back and grind to see the remaining story when I've already beaten the final boss and resolved the conflict. I missed the entire story because I never had to reset because I blazed through the gameplay! It's just a real shame that I experienced everything without knowing... why it's happening. The final boss had me asking myself what the hell is going on because I don't know the backstory at all.

Again, I still really recommend. The devs did a great job, but Side Order remains in the shadow of Octo Expansion's incredible success. Like the default singleplayer campaign, there's just a lot of lost story potential here that, while not necessary, would have really elevated this DLC into something amazing.

#long #personal #rant #splatoon #side order #it's a shame too because I got SO FUCKING HYPED at the title drop #when I realized that the entire first 30 minutes of the game was JUST THE OPENING TUTORIAL and they hit you with the music #and the “nintendo presents” and the title drop to a slow mo explosion. I thought “holy shit this is gonna be huge” #alas it wasn't because it turns out i'm better at roguelikes than the devs anticipated so i beat it in 3 hours lol #octo expansion was a cultural reset. it did something to my brain. the entire rising action part of the story; the reveals the twists the #boss fights the upward climb. it was so incredibly hype and just upped the stakes over and over. nothing's come close

nari goes on field trips :]

#my art #cotl #cotl lamb #cotl narinder #narilamb #in my first full playthrough i was annoyed at the final boss fight still but also was collecting all the follower forms #so i indoctrinated nari but when i saw the 'immortal' trait i went BET #and immediately sacrificed him #and then brought him back the next day because actually tactically having an unaging cult follower could be really useful #and gave him the moon necklace as a HAHA FUCK YOU. now you have to spend your eternal sleepless life worshipping me #also i made him a really agressive magenta colour just to fuck with him #(and then later realized this made him look like animal crossing bob) #and THEN i stopped and went. wait. if hes a follower now. can i marry him? #and then i got the other bishop followers and made them theur own little house complex #and then got really sad narinder couldnt use his because moon necklace #so i murdered him #and looted his corpse #and then i gave him the red crown necklace. also as a little fuck you. #and then by this point the brainworms had fully sunk in and i was like 🥺 nari should get to travel and see the world #and then he died on a mission so i looted his corpse again and THEN i gave him the missionary necklace #my first full playthrough was ...... chaotic

Anyway I'm still happy to have seen Hrid in FEH recently. Thank you for asking.

#fe heroes #hrid #reinhardt #i actually didnt really pay much attention to the banner at first but then #as i was looking at the rearmed reinhardt art i think i love the artist a lot ????? #like i am in love with this guy now and then i got to hear about him #from someone on discord since idk anything about him in his game #and honestly i think its really funny that reinhardt somehow has a base/sword alt/resp/dancer/rearmed #and is a boss on a map bc i didnt know that he was actually just a boss on a map #and the person i was talking to said yeah hes basically a feh oc at this point #and im gonna trust her on that bc i dont know anything about thracia so i gotta trust her #and if i have been told wrong information dont correct me i am now a reinhardt fan bc feh decided he should be important #i think its very funny and powerful of feh to decide this since release basically #hopefully i can do the part two to this tomorrow but im just not sure i will ? #but i wanna draw a follow up with reinhardt + nifl sisters

The downside of having an old west gunslinger type character for a dungeons and dragons 5e game is that now i have to learn how the heck to draw guns

#not literally i mean like art wise lmao #I have a gunslinger lone ranger type construct character made out of wood and metal farm equipment and her name is Wheelbarrow #and i've been meaning to draw her but... 1) i have a lot of freelance stuff to draw first and 2) how do not make gun look like boomerang... #she has a revolver for range and shotgun for close up fights #and melee-wise she's got a built-in sickle that can pop out of her forearm like a switchblade #also after a boss fight that was a giant mimic disguising itself as a tavern #she got a guitar that's also a mimic as loot! it technically can be used as a bludgeoning weapon if need be- it's alive and WILL bite #she's been trying to learn how to play it but her performance checks have been pretty consistently awful XD ; #alas... maybe one day she'll master fantasy wonderwall...

Something I find exceptionally funny is that the birds in my barn pen speak a different language than the birds in my first pen.

I let Eris (pen 1) into the barn pen today, and of course she's an asshole that started a battle royale immediately upon entering. just as she had three birds closing in on her on a perch and three birds circling beneath her like sharks, I trilled the "HAWK!!!" warning the barn pen birds use, and immediately every single barn pen bird BOLTED for the inside of the barn. But Eris, who does not speak Barn Pen, was left standing on the perch alone and confused. I was able to simply close the barn coop door, escort Eris out of the flight pen, and release all the barn pen birds back into their flight area without her.

Eris is also the only bird who learned "go around" means she has to walk to the back of the pen 2 to go through the door to get to pen 1's front door, if she wants out. Everyone else tries to teleport themselves through the wire at the front of pen 2. To be fair, so does Eris, until I tell her to go around and then she turns and goes the right way. Which might lead me to assume that Eris doesn't recognize "hawk" in peafowl because she was originally trained in buttons and human speech.

However, when I escorted her back to her pen, despite very much being able to hear me warn for a hawk, all of her pen-mates in pen 1 were still out and about like nothing was wrong. They hadn't been bothered by the barn pen hawk call, either.

#peafowl #my pets #eris #she's such a dick #smart but man is she a dick #glad everyone got it out of their systems tho #they all REALLY wanted a lil fight as a treat #I feel I should also say 'fight' doesn't mean anyone gets hurt #they mostly are a lot of hot air and jumping to kick NEAR each other #to see who chickens out first #it's good for eris to occasionally see she's not the boss of everyone #she needs reminded sometimes
