Interesting thing with the Bethesda fallouts (I've been playing a bit of Fallout 4 recently) is that they, at least in my opinion, misunderstand the fun parts of the first 2 games. I don't think think the setting is a very important part in those games, it's a part of it but it's just set-dressing for the gameplay and fun quest stories and how the players interact with them. I think there's some potential in say Fallout 4 for interesting quests or stories (I've done a couple of quests but a lot of my knowledge is from the Joseph Andersson video), but the solutions to any story just leads back into the shooting gameplay loop. This is, I think, antithetical to the format of the originals, which were based a lot more in having the format of a TTRPG. If your TTRPG sessions all boiled down to shooting people with basically no alternative solutions to quests I think your players would get bored. Since it's got shooter mechanics this kind of salvages it, it becomes it's very different own thing. But the wonderful gameplay loop of those first two games is lost, and I kind of miss it. Man, I need to replay Fallout 2.

#fallout #fallout new vegas #fonv #fallout 1 #fallout 2 #fallout 4 #fo4 #fallout 3 #i have never interacted with fallout 3. This praise of the originals also applies to New Vegas #I've just been colored by video essays. Gotta get a grip and start forming my own opinions #seriously though it's really interesting how much Bethesda focuses on the setting of fallout #and pre-war america #who the hell cares about the pre-war world in Fallout 2? You're busy handling the post-war world which is pretty disconnected #also you drive that beautiful car. what a car. love that car #same with fallout 1. you're too busy focusing on all there being KNIGHTS now #you don't need to care about their exact origins even if you can learn it #I guess Fallout 1 & 2 originate from a place of a lot more wack-ass ttrpg source books in the 80s. our crazy asses were wild then

#weird ass situation at home that got resolved but the discussion me and my sister had is like #i need to see if i can be allowed to drive by myself otherwise i wont be able to practice #bc my dad makes me nervous #i feel like its not a good idea bc i hate driving and will probably get myself killed #but idk. i need to learn i cant get out of here if i dont knoq how to drive #i wont be able yo get out of here regardless once i do learn but idk. i feel really trapped #its so strange i feel so strange #talkys

hold on i need to spiral for a minute 🌀

i genuinely can't think about my future because my life is at such a boring stagnant spot that i just CANNOT imagine getting married, moving out, doing a different job, getting old, etc. like i'm gonna be 50+ living at home, no romance, no friends, the same boring 9-5 and that's it. everyone's just gonna always ask what's lisa doing? and the answer will be um...she's working...haha. that's the only future i can think of. like is there a light at the end of this long boring ass tunnel because oh my god. i feel like i have no future and literally nothing is gonna get better and i hate this........i don't have any of my highschool friends and i'm just lisa from highschool now. i literally don't go anywhere, i have like one irl friend who i haven't seen in forever, i have no friends at my current boring job, and i have no romance in my life at all AND i'm 24 and i feel like my life is already over and i'm so old even though in actuality i know it's not and i'm not old but oh my goodness......it's really tough out here y'all 🧍🏽‍♀️

but also i'm extremely grateful for all of you wonderful angels on here because i think i would actually lose my mind if i didn't have a place to say all of this and go insane 💖

#like the only time i go out is with family but my god #literally how am i supposed to do anything 😭 #as much as i dread learning to drive i need that licence to do something........ #i also feel like i talk about this at least twice a week lsdkfjsfs #i'm sorry i have nothing else going on in my life and this city sucks absolute ass #when i move to expensive ass police city toronto it'll be over for y'all #lisa.txt

WOOOOO FUCK YEAH LICENSE

WHOO YAY

Been meaning to get it forever. Still not sure how well I'll actually be when driving but even just getting the license is a big goal to achieve for me

#Ella life #answered asks #THANK YOU SO MUCH #I really hope me learning how to drive will gelp me get better jobs sooner bc my current job SUCKS!!! ASS!!!

[spiritofjustice]

it's funny how some things stick with you forever. i still, on occasion, think about the time in first grade when my classmate argued with me and said puppy was only one syllable. i couldn't believe this bitch then and i still cannot believe it KRJF

#psy's no punctuation posts #i think it's bcs nothing drives me crazier than someone who i know for a fact is wrong insists they're right #i still remember the guy in freshman yr of college in the Baby Learns to Write class i shouldn't have needed to take bcs of my ACT score #trying to tell ME how MLA citation works. the audacity. and he was completely wrong of course #if someone tries to correct me on THEIR wrong ass citation. i'll kill you KRKFN #if i know anything it's citations and how to write an essay #do not test me . i know more than y'all KRKFN #my professor knew i shouldn't have been in that class either but whatever lol

Marmalade (my mario kart/smb1993 fancharacter) is literally the most important man to exist btw and you all love him

#set the scene: a week after marmalade was teleported to mushroom kingdom #he's working as a Herald in the Sarasaland castle #marmalade staring puppy dog eyed at princess daisy: #''can you take my white ass to Item Shop'' #(his atv got impounded again) #(because he hasn't learned how to drive like a person who isn't in mortal danger yet)

[devilfruitdyke]

wait is that what i look like.

#im not looking at myself i saw a video by a Long Hair Youtube Channel #IF I GROW MY HAIR OUT TO MY ASS WILL I ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE A COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG WMPLOYEE... #WHAT IF I DONT WANT TO ☹️ #tomorrow im learning how to do the masc lesbian high bun i cant take it #im gonna be fr my hair got caught on my shirt when i was taking it off and briefly experienced what id look like with shoulder length hair. #OK when they tell me im vice president tomorrow ill start planning locks of love drive for after new years #WONTTT admit that the prez is lowkey gongeous but i remember when she had shorter hair #it was nice #edit i need to say more aren lore sorry guys #when she had shorter hair was when we were both in elementary school student council btw 😭 #the cycles and such

[nomaishuttle]

sometimes i feel like a dcom protaganist bc ill find myself unironically thinking I just want to sing ..... But i cant 😭 and its like ok miss camp rock. ok lemonade mouth. shut up

#I DO WNANA SING SK BSD I MISS SINGINGG #my vocal range is saur different now and i hsvent rly gotten the chance to sing a lot even tho km like. a tenor now which is awesomes bc i #love tenor range... but i cant singgg bc i live with the fuck ass roommates in the fuck ass garage and i dont drive so i cant even drive in #the car. unironically ive been thinkjng i might just say screw it and learn how 2 drive Just so i can sing jn my car. bc i want 2 be able #to sing... #hopefully the apt will have thick walls so i can sing.basicslly. bc it sucks bc ill listen to a song and be like Omg. i could rly slay this #part now that my voice is deeper. bc j remember struggljng to get my voice low enough 4 this part so i could probably do that now and have #so much fun. BUT I CANT ! SING !

what's that post that's like "if you want your art to get better get obsessed with some guy and draw him a million times"

it's august (ew) which means it's been a year since i started doing digital art. i was pretty inconsistent about it until i started drawing geto in like mid/end of january and sort of couldn't stop so here's a little handful of times i've drawn him in chronological order (january-present)

#trying to kill the part of myself that wants to delete my whole blog when i look at anything i drew over a month ago #and the part of me that's still annoyed at how much i still have to learn #like i'd love for my work to look more painterly and do more with color but idk i can barely render right now #but improving and learning over time is fun and cool and rewarding maybe? #overall i'm just happy to be creating again #my grad program is a lot of very precise and technical work #and the level of perfection required kind of killed my creative drive for a long time #there may be Reasons i latched onto someone who got super disillusioned and snapped under the pressure and dropped out of school #but i half assed that journey and just took a leave of absence #reblogs off so it stays here but other interaction is totally fine!

barbara forgetting to put her shoes on in the abbott ep last night may be hands down the best gag of the whole season

#also sorry for being a hater but that is not really regional educational conferences work 😭 #they are NOT going to comp you a hotel room for that shit #your ass is driving home #i know it’s the point and the joke but barbara and melissa’s behavior was so unprofessional and inconsistent with their characterization #i’ll let it slide only because it is a regional conference #but if they had to travel out of state and acted like that… 🔪 #i don’t like how they toggle back and forth on barbara #does she know everything or does she still have much to learn #can she only learn from her younger peers or can she also learn from establishment forces like educational conferences and tech innovations #as someone pretty ensconced in academia the idea of her and melissa phoning it in at the conference #or like being proven right for refusing innovations like new tech and juice with more nutrients and less sugar #is pretty irritating to me #Juice in particular. like. nope barbara was wrong on that one. i refuse to believe the juice change would’ve caused a sea change #in bathroom usage that dramatically #and like i know it’s just jokes but >:( #anyway back to my point #as a burgeoning academic the idea that it’s acceptable for established teachers not to keep up with the literature in the educational field #is upsetting to me #that’s precisely what conferences are for… #and i would think it’s #more important for teachers than Academics TM because they probably don’t have the time to comb through the latest peer-reviewed articles

welp the end has come summer is over i return to the real world tomorrow i can no longer pretend it’s not happening.

#let’s just hope a fire gets lit under my ass this year and I get shit done #i actually make some progress so I can leave this job and actually do something I enjoy #so I’m not stuck somewhere shitty where no one is having a good job or cares at all #i guess I really am a career person bc I really cannot cope being in a workplace where no one gives a shit I need to be surrounded by #passion otherwise it just feels like I’m slowly dying #but in order to move forward I #actually need to do shit like start refreshing my science brain and reading papers and mocking up cvs and application questions #and actually find a phd I like and have the balls to talk to supervisors and properly look into it bc fuck that means moving away by myself #living alone and supporting myself shit that’s scary #plus I need to learn to drive this year that’s my most immediate goal #and in general I just need to be active with shit #might even open an etsy store as a way to crochet some bags with my riciculous stash of yarn I don’t want to #so I can get rid of it and make some money in the process ooooh fun #i hate being an adult tho it’s like there’s too many things you have to do that you never have the time to do the shit you want to do like #how is that fair how does that work why is life like that #but let’s not have a life crisis when I need to sleep I’m gonna work on my fic until I crash and then the real world hits me #goodbye summer of doing nothing I miss you already

Like on top of this I have to pay for drivers lessons because I have no one to learn driving from god I hate the south

#i already have had lessons on the highway #but when you have a hermit parent and are the only Muslim in your area it tends to isolate you effectively #i have no one to learn driving from. #so I cannot do anything but wait. #and I cannot even MOVE to a nor #thern state because my loser ass New York family scattered to the south like roaches and still avoids us #i hate them. #i hate this and I hate how there’s no escape #I’ve been looking for a job in a lesser major city with transit because I cannot handle this

[starbuck]

I’m two days into planning this trip I’ve already added a new motivation for learning to drive: being able to drive the scary canyon roads so that my mom doesn’t have to.

#ideally i’ll have been driving for like a year at that point… i’d say that’s long enough to have learned how to drive in a straight line #and i’ll get in plenty of practice with the rental beforehand so that i’m sure i know how to handle her #i think i can do it #and if i think i can do it - i can do it #i am blessed/cursed with truly INSANE levels of hubris #which will bite me in the ass one day but has served me well so far! #i’ve done many many things that should by rights have been impossible just because i calmly told myself i could #so why not one more? #as soon as my cousin leaves next week i’m breaking out the driver’s manual and studying like my life depends on it #hopefully can take the test before the end of July… get my permit… start lessons ASAP #and get REALLY good so i can take the practical exam and get my full license within a month or two! #that’s the plannnnnnnnnnnnn #and then in the Fall i’ll do a bunch of Silly Trips around the area to get practice! #i’ll learn to deal with Ice (derogatory) #and then i’ll have nothing more to fear! #EXCEPT for scary canyons! #but honestly? more than likely my mom will say we just can’t go and i’ll end up in like. Texas instead 😔 #will have to make my own scary canyon trip years from now just to prove i can do it #but FOR THE RECORD - i can do it - and you all will SEE

speaking of genbu's "serious" sounding tone in his voicebank, i think that might be why he was such a dead ringer for teto pre-synthv-bank-release with just a couple little gender parameter tweaks. wait do my followers know this. sorry i know most of my vocal synthesizer talk is genuinely gibberish to my beloved and loyal long time followers but do you guys know this. for a few years, people had discovered that since utau teto and genbu have this similar strong enunciation and dark sounding tone plus teto can have a bit of a tomboyish edge to her voice anyway -> if u mess with some parameters and phonemes he'll sound close enough to her, so it became a bit of running gag in the community, along with just being a genuine and novel use case for his voicebank. actually recently i found out about someone who made a couple of synthv scripts to set genbus voice to his falsetto pitch and set the tension to drop during each syllable automatically to make him sound like the utau sora amaha. genbu's purpose is to impersonate other vocal synthesizers

#i wasnt familiar with sora until i found that video. apparently she's voiced by lon? like that lon? like the utaite? #which is really neat! every day i find out about another utaite or seiyuu or someone who is involved with vocal synths in some fashion #im still reeling from anju inami providing the voice for a cevio bank! oh and the other day #i learned that the utaite kano was involved with the japanese version of luo tianyi #only to clear up some pronunciations - most of the bank is apparently the original provider. but its really interesting! #also jk jk genbu i love you. you are youre own vocal synth. you dont have to be her (teto). be yourself!!!!!! #i do love when people make teto and genbu have beef though. its so funny to me #tbh ive never been a teto user. shes not bad or anything i just never had any desire to use her utau bank. i keep her sv lite around tho #just in case i feel like making her bully genbu or something. bully that grown ass man #wait is she older or younger. i forgot how her fucked up chimera age worked again. oh well. whether ur 30 or 16 u can still bully him <3 #its a family activity. fun for all ages! anyway yeah i was never much of a teto user. tbh i think its just because like #if i want to hear a teto cover someone else probably has already done it far better than i could even think to LOL #i like when other people use her! sasuke haraguchi's use of her in hitomania and igaku has been magnifique #but i think with vsynths i prefer to use voices i like that no one uses much LOL #gives me much more drive to make covers if i know im one of the few doing it HJKDSLJ #whenever i get tired to pitchbending fast syllables (my least favourite part LOL) i think to myself.... i must.... i must.... #do it for him (genbu)..... hes not very popular since hes not the only male japanese voice anymore..... i must do it for HIM!!!!!! #(tunes one phoneme and explodes on impact)

Hang..

#ran out of tags on the other post but I've got so manynof these #was best friends with a pair of roommates who became so intensely codependent that they both had breakdowns when the other studied abroad #a guy who had siblings regularly terrorized my friend who also had siblings with the corpse of a roachnfor over a year (roommates) #ive known ONE situation where the only chold terrorized an apartment of sibling people. but that's because they were all poc and she was #insanely racist. like so racist that MY little pale jewish ass got weird vibes from her on first contact #learned some good lessons from roommates but none of them are things I'd be able to explain to a kid #except maybe 'if you get the feeling someone's mad at you all the time but won't tell you for some reason just move out' #oh! my friend had a partner who was a terror of a roommate. as in she psychologically terrorized my friend and their roommates #once listened in on a convo that went 'i shouldnt have to warn people I'm walking into an apartment I PAY FOR just because they want a date #oh also @ my niblings sometimes situations are unwinable before you even get there. sometimes people just make up their minds about you #and you just gotta deal with the consequences of that decision. if you're in an unwinnable social situation just hit the bricks #you can't fix something that isn't functionally broken and it puts you in situations where every choice is wrong #living with people who grew up with fucked up sibling relationships created a lot of '0 good dialogue options' situations #cant leave the living room because then they asked for something and got it and that's shameful. can't sit in the living room. they want it. #again i could have been a way better roommate. for a multitude of reasons some under my control some not. but lord in heaven #but having siblings does NOT socialize you to live with other adults i hate that myth every situation I've lived in has proved it wrong #NONE OF US had any clue how to live with people who weren't our relatives #and this will happen to you. you will move out and realize the extent of your habits cause most people's parents just tolerate stuff #or your parents just got used to things that would drive other adults insane and they don't notice the things you do cause they're your kid #(or they might have even taught you those habits/level of cleanliness themselves) #one dude at the boarding house got mad about being asked to have basic responsibility for his room. so he left it covered in trash #and when they went to clean it it was covered in a fine layer of mold on almost every surface. genuine biohazard scene #got hit with 'youre the only person i don't regret letting into my house' from the woman we paid rent to when i moved out #and I'm like gee the bar is in hell 😭
