#i never play videogames

[maxwell-grant]

Every conversation I have with her listening to her foreboding choir music makes me feel like I'm in a cutscene conversation with the Final Boss, except that conversation never ends, and the Final Boss won everything before I was even born, and it couldn't be bothered to show up so it just sent one of it's teeth after me to make small talk, if only to have me recoil before it's pleasing sharpness. I adore talking to her and it makes me feel sick and hollow. why is this game so horribly addicting.

Sometimes I feel like I want to do a one-shot series of Akashi just playing through switch games I think he'd like and how I would imagine he'd get through the game. But then other times I wonder, "Where the fuck would I even start something like that?"

#i've done a premise like this for a singular chapter in an old fic of mine from like 2015 or 2016 #so it's not like this is a format i'd be completely unfamiliar with #but i'd still have to play through a couple of games and get the general plot of them down before i do any writing #i don't like how i'm speaking about this as if i've already made up my mind #this is all my fault i should have never made that akashi videogame headcanon #but also idk i'm just trying to warm myself up to writing more frequently #kuroko no basket #akashi seijuro

the curse of playing any video game on the hardest difficulty even once is that there is literally no going back to an easier one afterward

So, turns out that if you just go inside the cabin and slay the princess, and then just sit in the dark and dont question anything and tell the little voice in your head that youre happy being alone in the void because the world is saved, you get the good ending with sounds of cheering and aplause and a little drawning saying you did it! The world is saved! Wich is nice, but the then game last like five minutes, so yeah

#slay the princess #slay the princess spoilers #i have never played a videogame by myself before #its very fun

Videogames I wish were real #27

You know that trope of a character getting isekai'd to another world? Well, in this game that happens to you. You get teleported into another world but you have no idea why you are there because...

YOU. DON'T. SPEAK. THE. LANGUAGE.

The characters speak an entirely made up language. At the start of the game you select what language you (the player) speak, and the modes in which you want to play. The game has several modes both for languages and for story: Easy, Normal, Hard, Extreme and Realistic (the difficulties of both modes are independent, you can pick easy language mode but hard story mode and such)

Language modes:

Easy mode: the language spoken by the characters has a very similar grammar and rules to your native language (the equivalent of a Spanish speaker trying to learn Italian). Characters don't mind repeating stuff several times. An npc points at a tree, says a word and you get several options and need to choose what you think the word they said meant. In this mode, once you learn a word, the translation will be featured under it in any in-game texts.

Normal mode: the grammar and rules of the language spoken by the characters are noticeably different from your native language (the equivalent of an French speaker trying to learn German). Characters will only repeat stuff two times. Instead of choosing what a word means from several options, you need to type your guess. You will still get the translation of a word under it once you learn it, but instead of always being visible, you need to activate the subtitles by pressing a button.

Hard mode: the grammar and rules of the the language spoken by the characters are very different to your native language. Characters don't repeat stuff. No subtitles with translations or menus that ask you to guess what a world means. If you want to remember what something means, you will need to rely entirely on your memory or take notes.

Extreme mode: extremely different grammar and rules, and, on top of that, a different alphabet (the equivalent of an English speaker trying to learn Japanese). Characters don't repeat things. No subtitles with translations or menus that ask you to guess what a world means. You will need to take notes, a lot of notes.

Realistic mode: why is it called realistic? Well, because a world were people only speak one language would be unrealistic, right? So... in this mode, the people speak different languages, and as you travel through the world, you might need to learn more than one language to get by.

Story modes:

Easy mode: you get taken in by a family of farmers in a small village. The family you live with provide you with food and shelter in exchange for a small part of the wages you earn by helping them around the farm or doing errands for the townspeople. Everyone in the village is kind and eager to help you learn their language. As your language skills progress, so does the story.

Normal mode: an innkeeper in a medium sized village offers you work in their inn. Half your wages go to cover your food and room. As the days progress, so does the story, regardless of your progress in learning the language.

Hard mode: you appear in a city and need to fend for yourself since day one, doing whatever is necessary to get by. You will need to pay for your own food and shelter, but finding a job in a foreign world where you don't speak the language won't be easy, so at first you might need to resort to trickery or thievery to survive.

Extreme mode: you will appear in a war torn area and be forced to pick a side in the conflict, but you won't know which one is the good one, if there is any. You can choose to stay there or gather resources to earn enough money to travel to other areas untouched by the war.

Realistic mode: you will appear in a random location, it might be the middle of a forest, a quiet little village, the middle of a battlefield, a pirate ship... In previous story modes your actions and decisions could change the story. The same will happen here, however, the story won't wait for you, and you will be able to reject the call. You might be the prophesied hero destined to stop an evil wizard, but you might find out too late to stop them from conquering half the continent, or you might not feel like risking your life and opt for a quiet existence in a farm.

While the game is supposed to be about the player being transported to a different world where they speak languages different from our own, if you want to, you can select a real language to learn it through the game.

Been sorta reminding myself over the past few months how much I enjoy RPGs and thinking through character choices.

I'm definitely someone who works backwards - deciding the kind of decisions I want to make (either specific choices if I know them or just vibes) and gameplay elements I want to focus on, and then coming up with a character who would make sense to connect it all together. And it's always fun to throw a wrench somewhere in the race + class + faction/alignment-style decisions that adds an apparent contradiction to work around.

#my videogame playing took a hit upon becoming an adult and starting college that i have never even semi-recovered from #but damn can they be good as a distraction that also forces you to be actively distracting yourself #videogames #ladyluscinia

Dazai and Natsume

Okay, this may sound completely strange but I haven’t seen anyone talk about this. Or I’m just blind either one.

But does anyone feel like Natsume is just following Dazai at times?

Sounds strange right? But we’ve seen him around Dazai a lot. Dazai is probably one of the people who has had the most screen time with him in the anime, second only to Fukuzawa and Ranpo maybe, I haven’t actually counted all the scenes. But, it less that he’s been around Dazai a lot and more of where he has been with Dazai.

If we’re going by the anime’s timeline, then Dazai had first encountered him in the mafia, when he was fifteen is earliest time that they are shown in the same scene and that was before he and Hirotsu had met Chuuya. The time that I can remember after that is in the bar with Oda (and maybe Ango, I really need to watch the anime again) ‘Sensei’ as Dazai had dubbed him, and he had said that Sensei would give up his seat whenever Dazai had guests.

Then comes the weird part. We see him again when Dazai was meeting Taneda about joining the Agency. He was literally sitting right by the table with seemingly not a care in the world. We’re also introduced to him as Haruno’s cat, which I found kind of interesting as well, because from what I’ve seen, we don’t actually know too much about their relationship.

Yes he is Haruno’s cat but since when? We don’t actually know when he became Haruno’s cat (or maybe I don’t, I have not read the novels yet, but I will!) or how she got him or such. There is no timeline for that relationship which kind of says a lot as much as it says nothing at all.

So, it kind of goes like this. Natsume knew Dazai since his mafia days and he followed him to the current timeline when he works at the agency and is so conveniently Haruno’s cat.

Thing is, Dazai has to have known that this cat wasn’t normal, seriously, if he doesn’t know what exactly, then he has to know at least something, it’s a little too obvious that he isn’t a normal cat. It just becomes blaringly obvious when he literally brings Dazai a USB drive.

It makes complete sense if Dazai knows who Natsume is based on that scene because no person would take a dead fish from a cat and open it to see what’s inside unless they knew that there was an intention behind the action. Plus, what would a cat even be doing with a USB drive in a fish in the first place? How would it have even gotten into the fish if someone didn’t put it in there?

I think it makes perfect sense for Dazai to know that Natsume is a person with an ability to turn into a cat. I’m not sure if he would know that Natsume is Fukuzawa and Mori’s mentor, it’s a bit of a 50/50 for me because while Dazai is intelligent and crafty, Natsume is just downright mysterious, he’s like mist in a way.

This was kind of a long ramble, but I guess I got the gist of it in a coherent post. I hope there aren’t too many mistakes here-

#Dazai Osamu #natsume soseki #bsd #bungo stray dogs #I just think that it's interesting how Natsume is so conveniently there all the time #I know it's not just convenience though it's basically canon that he is something akin to a semi-omnipotent presence in a sense #He seems to always know what's going on around who and acts as a guide at times #It's like Haruno and Naomi said #He's always there for big and challenging events #He is never a catalyst and always seems as though he tries to stay out of the big bits of it #but he's like a little cheat code in a videogame #Or a little extra help when playing on hard mode

I've done rainy days with romantic f/os, but what about with platonic/familial f/os?

Imagine waiting out a storm playing videogames with your platonic f/o. Is it pretty chill or is there a lot of yelling?

Or out stomping through puddles with your younger sibling f/o while your familial f/o or older sibling f/o looks on in amusement or perhaps annoyance knowing how muddy you'll be later.

*proshippers DNI*

#i don't care how old I am i will always play in puddles #also #i should never be allowed to play videogames with my platonic or familial f/os aside from Kuroko #f/o imagines #imagine your f/o #f/o #comfort character #platonic f/o #familial f/o
