Well someone has to give it its driver updates, Gabriel

#driver design and development ft. gabriel #why do i keep making gabriel look like a tech nerd? #idk don't ask me #but come on they're robots they don't need just blood right??? #ramble time #i don't know what i am doing about that rendering and that's all i'm gonna say about this topic #i don't really play ultrakill anymore #apex + d2 take most of my playing time i simply don't play any other games #their idea list was never empty tho #i like their contrast i guess #they can have a lot of argument #that tends to make coming up dialogues easy #yeah #i don't know why i ramble this much #maybe just because i don't really have the chance per se #but i really seldom do ultrakill stuff now #ultrakill followers best time to unfollow starts now #ultrakill #ultrakill v1 #ultrakill gabriel #my art

hythlodaeus be like "teehee I hope I can be of some use" *clean headshot* 😊

bitch they wanted you for the aether-centric governmental position I know you think your curmudgeony cunt husband is amazing but stop selling yourself short its a slippery slope to sacrificing yourself to make god smh

#final fantasy xiv #ffxiv #im glad ee3 confirmed hes downplaying his own abilities bc soooooo many people just take characters at their word in this game #im always curious as to how his esteem issues developed I dont think its as simple as 'society' bc hes pretty accomplished in the context o #said society they wanted him on the convocation! hes in charge of a whole bureau and that doesnt mean no one ever made him feel bad and we #know erichthonious got mocked though his situation is more actively extreme but the main example of something hyth cant do is transformatio #which is considered preposterous to do in front of others most of the time so it seems like it wouldn't matter too much. maybe its moreso #that he sees others as better and more deserving and is constantly comparing himself and seeing others be better at him in certain areas #started to develop those esteem issues #siren says #funny post which is a trap for my character musings anyways #hythlodaeus

Ellen McLain’s commentary from my trivia playthrough

#She's so cute <3 #WPP #Portal #Ellen McLain #If you haven't played through the audio commentary I would Absolutely recommend it it is So fun #I clicked out of curiosity - kind of just expecting like a movie's audio commentary y'know? Like a video that highlighted specific scenes #No it's just the whole game again but with trivia pop-ups! I love that!! #It reminded me so much of like trivia track or the pop up fun facts from special editions of movies I would watch as a kid #But you can play through them!! You have to click on them and they spin! I love that!!! #I always love hearing the design and development process - fascinating how the playtesters reacted to this new game! #We take it for granted now but yeah I imagine it would've been very confusing at the time #And I was like ''Well it was such a small team and Ms. McLain was such a large part of it - surely she'll have a few bubbles?'' #She does lol - as soon as I got to her first one (it was a slow burn! They buried the lead with her lol I'm already invested!) I had to go #I saved-quit the game out of sheer excitement and giddiness lol I had to sleep on it before I was ready to come back #It is so cool to hear her natural voice ah <3 And the kinds of direction she was given! Other bubbles also talk about her vocal direction :) #Very cool! I wonder what TTS they used for reference :0 #But to hear her real laugh without the audio processing over and and she still sounds like GLaDOS! I mean of course she does but just jfdksl #That's /her/ laugh! They share a laugh! It's a very similar laugh!! #Not to mention her talking about wanting to play and just fdskalfd they clearly did such a good job with her performance and ahhh #It's too cute it's all too cute sharing a room with GLaDOS while her voice actor talks about making a cake to share with her friends stopppp #I am so enamoured <3 #I also took a bunch of screenshots of GLaDOS still shit-talking while she was being destroyed lol #Actually beat the ending in one try this time :P I ran out of time the last time pfft #But now I've beaten it twice in as many days :D Although I did start it the first time several days ago - but I beat it again quickly! #Has me all the more itching to replay 2 ♪ #WPVG

Characters/tropes my heart craves to see in litg

Friends to lovers. A classic. A staple. Can’t go wrong here. But I truly want it to start out as just a friendship - nothing less, nothing more. “Him? Nah, he’s not my type” “Her? Nah, we just like spending time together” Ya know? Like, they don’t even consider it a possibility until people kinda look at them funny and it gets a little awkward cuz they shared so much with each other and they notice their partners aren’t giving them what they need to give and then “oh.” “Oh.” Ya feel me?

MC as a returning islander. We lowkey had that with casa in s6 but no. I don’t want it like that. I want MC to be truly dumped from the show - awkward silence, blank stares and all. I want to gasp, I want my hand to fly to my mouth and stare at the screen for five minutes. I want to nervously open litg insta and see people in the comments freak out. I want to see “new episodes… coming soon?” and i want that question mark to punch me in the face like the smug little shit that it is. I want to count days till next Wednesday and then I open the app with my shaking hands to see the Narrator tell me “… the public has given you a second chance…” and BAM we’re back in the game weeks later - take your chance at redemption, assert yourself, or finally finally find your true love!

Bad boy/girl. No, I don’t want some reformed “I pUt mY plAyEr yEarS in ThE paSt” sorta thing. I want them to literally come in and not make fools out of us and be all upfront. Just be honest - say you’re here for a good time not a long time, for nothing serious. Say you’re here to break hearts. Say you have your eye on MC as your next “victim” and then get rejected for once in your goddamn life. Try to move on, but there’s just something different this time. Something that keeps you up at night. Someone that you can’t stop thinking about. Because maybe, just maybe, you don’t wanna play with anyone anymore. And maybe, just maybe, you wanna change - just for a chance, even if all that chance is, is to breathe the same air as MC.

#the key here is to take time and develop characters and relationships basically #i don’t want love bombing day 1 superficial power couple vibes ugh #if i think of more i’ll let you know ;) #litg #love island the game #litg s8 #litg tempting fate

not to be a negative nelly but my expectations for dragon age 4 are soooo low like the bar is on the fucking floor... they keep releasing trailers that tell us literally nothing and when they're not doing that they're firing their best writers or trying to get us hyped up by being like "hey remember that game we were making five years ago? well... we're still making it!" alright cool are you paying your QA workers a fair wage though? yeah. didn't think so ❤️

#it's been nearly a decade since DAI and we still don't even have any gameplay footage #i know these things take a long time and i'm by no means advocating for crunching or rushed game development #but this has been a complete mess from start to finish #layoffs everywhere and a toxic workplace do not a good product make #not to mention fucking solas is in it my loathed enemy #dragon age #dreadwolf

[major-wren]

If Shadow was a lab-experiment then I think that means it's very likely that they used a reward system on him like any other labrat and that as a result, he's probably extremely easy to Pavlov

How funny would it be for Shadow, who's so stubborn and uncooperative, to suddenly be easily influenced into doing things if you happen to figure out what he perceives as a reward

He starts showing up at social events and everyone thinks he's finally comin around but actually it's just cause Rouge will only give him his favorite food if he attends and plays nice

#the potential... #like there has to be permanent consequences to being raised as a lab subject right #also i feel like he could be really vulnerable to the type of antagonists that will play the long game #you know like spending a year or more developing a relationship w love bombing & pavlov trick & manipulation #im surprised that hasnt been explored in fan content yet #obvi cant be done in mainstream canon bc something like that would take too much time to tell #anyway #major mumbles #shadow the hedgehog #sth #sonic the hedgehog #shadow #sth shadow #sonic headcanon #sth headcanon #sth hc #sth headcanons #sonic headcanons

People need to shut up and let indie devs have their moment. You can wait another few months or however long it takes for silksong. Developing a game takes time, theres no need to trash on every other game and spam about silksong in live chats.

#anyways I’m excited for the new loathing game #and teslagrad 2! #enbee.txt #hollow knight #silksong #Nintendo direct #this needs to be said I’m so annoyed. the fandom looks horrible #this is also me being 🤓 bc I’m a games major and this shit takes time #let these developers have their moment!!!!! let them shine!!!! #let their artwork and their hard work be shown

[dragon-oasis-game]

All of these will be added in the game at one point in the near future, but if you had to choose,

#dragon game dev #dragon creator #game development #//these all take roughly the same amount of time to implement #//it won't be strictly the order in which they'll come out but moreso guidelines to know what to prioritize after winter break

[rawliverandgoronspice]

man, I love A Link Between Worlds... sometimes I remember it, its hyper-competent yet humble design and storytelling proposal, and I genuinely think that makes it among my favorite Zelda games ;;

#thoughts #albw #the dungeons are *so good* the level design is peak classic zelda formula imo #the very idea of its non-linearity #while maybe not executed to its fullest? #is sooo compelling to me #I think they were experimenting with design elements here that eventually led to botw's formula #(and I do prefer albw as far as non-linearity goes btw) #(I'm a “semi-open world/world in hub” truther u_u I believe it makes for more authorial and controlled set design which I prefer) #the near-folksy take on the more gothic alttp is really good #(yeah btw: I think alttp might be the most traditionally gothic zelda game to me? moreso than mm's or tp) #(alttp feels like a rotting world with one guiding faith dwindling against constant corruption/the dusk of better times) #(the world is so hostile and full of ruins and cold and dark and even the npcs are often against you! its ambiance is quite something) #(the rainy introduction and your uncle who fucking *dies* immediately... sorry I'm talking about alttp in my albw post now ;;) #and the LORE it introduces in regards to the triforce is so compelling and existentially shocking? #even if it hides itself very well #the characters also! not super developed but really charming #it's such a charming game #might be among my favorite 2D Zeldas if not my favorite honestly

[powerup-the-revolution]

so this new pokemon direct huh.......

#i made myself CRY making this gif man!!!!!!!! #i can't believe..... im REALLY really hoping the fan theories are right on this one #and they take time to develop the game properly (they won't) #because man.... man. #pokemon #pokémon

I’m so invested in wizard101 and its denizens that it has got me researching actual irl science and engineering so i could depict magic better

#most of the text is under the tags yet again lmao whoops #I’m out here looking up electrocultural agriculture bc i wanna draw my YW revisiting Khrysalis after Morganthes defeat #helping reverse the mass deforestation and crystallisation caused by the umbra legion #mainly bc I don’t like how fast the game moved on from us saving Khrysalis to merle immediately telling us we r graduating #let there be at least some period of time in between jdjfkg #montage of my wizzy taking the time to learn theurgy under moolinda #despite being a storm wizard #and researching how to heal the land and plant new growth #to use her storm magic to stimulate the plants to grow faster and stronger #bc smth smth electrical currents promote plant development and helps them grow more fruit #and teach whatever shes learned to any other spellbinders and farmers in Khrysalis. bc what good is knowledge if it is not shared #maybe rope professor balestorm into this too with all the experiments. wait who am i kidding he would love that and immediately #(or hop. ha) to help experiment. rope the other diviners into this whole project too actually. get those participation credits kids #w101 #wizard101

Can we talk about the absolute SHIT SHOW LIB ended up being???

Spoilers if you haven’t completed today’s chapter:

I had two different Scarletts at my dress fitting, one of them was upset with me for some reason, and it never got resolved. The other one was my bestie, which made more sense, but still??? Why were there two of you?? The whole thing was bizarre.

Zayid cheated on Eve, which was a huge deal for about 5 seconds, then 5 seconds later they’re friends. Okay!

The wedding came out of NOWHERE. Like I cannot emphasize that enough. I felt like I barely had any time with Kieran and we’re suddenly married.

Nico wanted me to stop his wedding and run away with him - he clearly HATED Autumn but they still got married. Okay!

No explanation about the other couples - I never saw Scarlett and Blaze again, which was weird because they’re supposed to be my “best friends”. At the bachelorette party we were all celebrating how in love we are and half of them didn’t get married.

There’s apparently another chapter but I don’t know if Kieran is enough for me to finish this. This whole thing felt so rushed, it started out sorta strong but the quality diminished so quickly after that. The writing all around was eh, and terrible at the end. I had high hopes for this since Netflix was making it, but I was disappointed. Kieran was the only good thing about this entire shit show I put myself through.

#im probably missing so much #I blacked it all out tbh #Kieran’s character never really developed at all #oh and every time I open a chapter it’s asking if I want to overwrite my data a million times #pls take your time in making this if there’s another season #anyway #lib #lib the game #love is blind #love is blind the game
