#can you tell i have an android?

[hi-there-buddies]

People: Dragon Ball focuses too much on Goku. He’s so strong, so nobody else has to do anything.

Goku: Loses first 2 tournaments in og. Dies twice. Only kills one major villain in all of Dragon Ball Z, and it’s the villain that everyone wanted Gohan to kill.

Also are we just gonna ignore how the Namek/Frieza saga was mostly Krillin, Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta just doin shit? They did so much in that entire arc

#also he spent the first two arcs of dragon ball literally just training and running to get to the battle mostly #he barely even fights in the android and cell saga #almost character besides Goku in DBZ’s first 4 arcs have a LOT more screen time #honestly #I’d say Gohan is on par with Goku as the main character #also the entire Namek saga and most of the frieza saga were just the side characters fighting with brief stints of Goku #I can understand how it seems like it’s the Goku show #but it’s really not #original dragon ball is #and honestly it’s not even worse for it #og dragon ball is fuckin awesome #but you can tell that dragon ball z is a show about ALL the characters #because in og we always follow Goku and his adventures #in dbz we follow everyone else too #even when they aren’t with Goku #which is basically something that never happened in the non filler episodes of og #ok thanks #dbz #dragon ball #dragon ball z #db #this is only about og and dbz btw #not super #yes super is more of the Goku show lol #Goku #son goku

sometimes you long rest on eight (8) bottles of wine and exactly nothing else and then find out that night that you’re a bhaalspawn. just normal things.

#and then have the ensuing conversation about being a bhaalspawn with your partner while both of you are very hung over #astarion: so how are you feeling? #durge: Please Throw Me In The Pit. Definitely The Pit. #how’s bg3 going? well i picked a great night to try to get that one achievement :) #it did hit me VERY hard that my first instinct was to run right to astarion and tell him everything ;-; #<= fully in character. we’re being slow about breaking the news to everyone else but astarion can be trusted right away ;-; #bg3 #the paranoid android speaks!

the au may or may not be undergoing some restructuring soon...

#text #i'm trying really hard to actually work on the worldbuilding and such and figure out the true 'villain' #i know technically vocal android can never really become a 'story'...not really... #but i kinda want to make it more focused toward something. you know what i mean. try to give the characters a real enemy #that complements the themes #i DID have a villain in mind before but now i don't know if it'll work out...so i'm trying to figure out something else #it's really difficult... #i wish i knew someone actually good at writing to tell me if i'm just barking up the wrong tree at this point #am i taking this too seriously?? #idk. but heads up for future content and such i suppose

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K Dick

#this is yet another book that's significantly different from the film adaptation in case anyone was wondering #some parts you can really tell were written by a man in the 1960s and certain bits have aged terribly #the protag is kind of a dick in multiple senses of the term #but I can also understanding why it was considered such a groundbreaking piece for its time #as a speculative work it's pretty fascinating #do androids dream of electric sheep? #philip k dick #blade runner #file under my collages aren't good but I'm having fun anyway #books 2023 #amusing myself by casting Hedy Lamarr as Rachael #sosy don't look #litedit #bookedit

Non-exploitative mobile apps

These are all apps that I like enough to play often. None of these apps have currency that can be bought with money, and none have loot boxes/gatcha mechanics. These are all available on iPhone (unfortunately I’m locked in at this point), and I’ll mark which are available on Android with an asterisk. I’ll also mention if they’re available on Steam. These are also listed in no particular order, and any iap or advertisements are listed. None of this is paid sponsorship.

Free Apps

Baker Business 3*: You get to run a little bakery, making all sorts of breads and pastries. You can buy one time iap that expands the gameplay, and watch advertisements if you choose to speed cooking up (which is entirely unnecessary)

MinuteFrontier*: An RPG made by a Japanese game developer that makes a ton of similar RPGs (this is just my favorite of the bunch). You travel through various areas fighting monsters. Combat’s easy and can be done with one hand

Amazing Loot Grind*: This is literally what I do to get the dopamine of opening loot boxes without spending real money. Theoretically you could watch ads to get benefits, but that hasn’t worked since I got the app. This app may eventually be too outdated to play, but it’s fun.

Auction Wars: Storage King*: Basically you bid on storage containers, and gain money from the contents. Really simple game play. I bought it like 10 years ago and it’s still fun.

The Sink Gods* (steam): Entirely free point and click adventure.

Fluxx*: Great card game where the rules constantly change, iap is an expansion and a zombie version. I have multiple physical versions of this.

Evolution* (linux, mac & windows $2): barely a game, but you get to mess around with machine learning

Paid Games

(Cannot find the price -_-) The Randominion: Roguelike game that’s very luck based. You will lose. A lot. But I’ve played it so much I have the fifth high score on Game Center.

$5 - $6 Dealer’s Life 2* (steam): You run a pawn shop, buying low and selling high. Simple enough.

$5 Tsuro*: A really amazing board game that I have the physical to, you make paths and try to stay on the board the longest. The mobile version has 3 alternate game modes (including a single player mode)

$1 Loopical*: Puzzle game where you make a bunch of loops, also has a sequel (Loopical Pro*, $2)

$7 Citizens of Rome* (Steam $10): This is a life simulator game set in the Roman Republic. The iPhone game is mod-supported, which frankly amazes me (the android game is currently not due to file management issues). It is also completely screen reader/voice over compatible.

Bonus: because I entirely forgot to add these two games to the list

Seedship* (Mac, windows): a free game where you are controlling an ai that is trying to find a suitable home for its human cargo. The ship is falling apart.

$10 Beyond the Chiron Gate (Mac, windows, Linux (browser)): a game where an exploration crew explores the galaxy to try to keep the gate to the rest of the galaxy open.

#I have a lot more games I could’ve added but the list is getting long #so if you want game recs you can send in an ask and I’ll respond (tell me if you have android) #I have so many games on my phone and the only ones I keep are ones with minimal exploitation #i left premium currency games out because you can easily overspend (ask how I know$ #but for asks I may include games that have premium currency that isn’t in short supply

I LOVE YOU ANDROID 17 !!! (louder than everyone else)

Im so mushy for him,, sometimes I feel so apathetic and disconnected from everything, but Lapis brings me back and I love him sm for it <3

When he tells me everything will be okay, then I actually feel better because I put all my trust into his judgment,, besides, he tells me "If you're ever falling, you know I'll be there to catch you." And not once did he ever break that promise

GAHH ILHSM I'm so glad my friend introduced me to him,, when I met him in that bakery, I thought we'd never get along,, but here we are, married for life :3

It's nice having a lover who balances you out,, opposites attract is such a real saying HEHSJS

Anyway, take the edit I've made for my dearest :> Lapis made fun of me for making it saying I was sooo obsessed with him (he's not wrong) but oh well !! he loves picking on me for that anyway

I apologize for it being offbeat,, I don't edit, I just really wanted to make the audio :D All in all, I'm grateful you are in my life, my perfect, beloved, Lapis <3

#double post woahh #he is my special :3 #ANDROID 17 ILY ILY ILY ILY ILY YOU MAKE ME SO SO SO HAPPY #there is a love i feel for 17 that i have never felt before and it makes my heart swell #I LOVE MY HUSBAND #i dont run #but for this guy i might jog a little #i am so unwell about android 17 can you tell #If Android 17 has a million fans then I am one of them. If Android 17 has ten fans then I am one of them. #If Android 17 has only one fan then that is me. If Android 17 has no fans then that means I am no longer on earth. #If the world is against Android 17 then I am against the world. #no one gets him like i do #people who claim to love him the most have not met me :3 (no you dont) #android 17 #dragon ball #dragon ball super #dbs #edit #video edit #bath🫀bomb #self shipper #self ship #f/o gush #fictional other #my husband

Androids aren't alive, they don't feel and they don't have emotions. Dream is no exception, as an android designed to fight crime and solve cases he doesn't feel anything, and he doesn't care about anything because he can't care... really he can't, even if his coworkers don't seem to agree. This thought will be tested, especially since rouge androids are becoming more and more of an issue. What will happen when Dream finds himself on the opposite side of a war he was meant to stop.

CHAPTER 2 IS HERE  a little rough to write cause there are scenes I really want to get to but we are pushing and we are going to make it one way or another

I've been thinking about how I've known ppl who 100% believe cats are unpredictable assholes that attack you without warning, but every cat I've interacted with has given me ample warning that they didn't want me in their space or had enough. the one misunderstanding I get is when you think a bared belly is the same invitation for belly rubs (which can happen or be tolerated) but if you make the discovery that your cat doesn't like their belly touched, why would you try again.

Another issue might be that the cat in question is 'an asshole' and randomly attacks body parts or plays with teeth/claws because it wasn't taught how to play gently and discouraged from biting. But to many ppl I know, cats just don't register as pets you could train. There's nothing they can do to change the behavior, so in their head they ascribe malicious intent to the cat's behavior.

But imo a lot of the time if you don't play as roughly with a cat as you would with a dog, if you use a toy for them to attack instead of your hand, if you pay attention to the way some cats will very gently let you know to back off by using their paws to push you away and show agitation vs calm (and you don't teach them that the only way you'll stop bothering them is if they use claws) you can absolutely get a good idea what a cat's general mood is. 

Or maybe I'm just annoyed at ppl who refuse to learn a single thing about the pet they're keeping and then brush off their lack of knowledge with 'cats are mysterious assholes'

#txt #alright rant over hahaha #off topic but i'm posting this from an old android running Tablet And the autocorrect is still kinda wonky #BUT you know what I missed? An OS that saves swears.. instead of my equally old iOS run phone which seems to REFUSE to save words like fuck/ #How fucking patronizing is that!!! To refuse to incorporate swears you type into autocomplete!!! #I'm a grown fucking adult I will swear how much I want!!! #also apple autocomplete at least on the iOS version I have is a joke #you mistype a word on one instance and it has no idea what you meant #meanwhile even the old as balls android keyboard on my old phone can still find the right word #oh but the one time i start to type 'fuck' my apple keyboard suddenly desperately tries to suggest 'duck' instead. When it can't tell with m #*most other words what I meant where I mistyped just the first letter!! #FUCK YOU APPLE!!!! #Phew. Two rants for the price of one!

For some reason high school story didn’t get deleted off my phone? Like- I can still open it up and play it, even though it no longer exists on the app store

yes! i have noticed this as well and i half expected it to happen, but couldn’t be sure.

unlike hollywood u, high school story never needed to connect to online servers for you to play it — one of the reasons why 1. you could play it offline and 2. so many conflicts between the local and server data happened when the game updated. all of the game data (meaning, all main quests + premium and side-quests, and even the partnerships) are locally stored in the game files, so you really don’t need the server for it to work. i’m not sure what the server does, but it must do something. i think?

so far, the only thing that has been shut down are the polls from the dish and the store, which had been shut down on the week of the 20th of july. it makes sense, though, because these were the only parts of the game you needed an internet connection to access. otherwise, everything seems to be working just fine and the seasonal quests are still rolling out because they’re triggered by the time/date of your device, not by the server. let’s hope it will stay like this!

fun fact! the game left the app store on the afternoon of the 10th, but you could still download it through the google main page until three or four days later. hwu was only shut down on the 16th and the dish on the 17th.

#hss #hss game #hss prime #high school story #i’m still planning on sharing my archive btw! #and i have archived the original android apk of the game #but i think it’s cool it’s still on #and as far as i can tell (from what i understand from messing with the files) #i don’t see why it wouldn’t stay on #anyways i was half certain it was going to stay on #but they very specifically stated the game wouldn’t work even if you had it downloaded #but well.
