#kingdom hearts 2 #kh2 #my gif #i'm aware these aren't all of the command menus in the game. i limited them to ones that represent the general world as a whole #otherwise this post would be really long and would take a lot more work #i'm a big fan of how they make assets that are designed specifically for a certain world or area #they're cool to look at and i never really took the time to stop and appreciate all the details #some even have little animations when you expand the menus #as well as hidden mickeys #very cool stuff #okay time to tag all these worlds... #twilight town #hollow bastion #radiant garden #100 acre wood #mysterious tower #olympus coliseum #underworld #space paranoids #land of dragons #beast's castle #disney castle #timeless river #atlantica #port royal #halloween town #christmas town #agrabah #pride lands #the world that never was

Mass Effect fandom, consider:

Diegetic interface via omni-tool

#inspired by Dead Space and Warframe's pause menus #though I'd probably make it a lil bit bigger #and have it work like Fallout's Pip-Boy where it freezes time #mass effect #omni tool #commander shepard #game design

Uhhh something something I watched The Menu on a 8 hour flight and drew this whilst severely sleep deprived

(No text version) (because I’m like 80% sure I got the quote wrong) (but I was sleepy sorry)

#my art #fanart #strawberridraws #the menu #the menu fanart #I forgor the actresses name lol #but she slayed fr fr #anyways the flight was hell tbh #was stuck in between my mom (whom I love dearly) #and this ANNOYING ASS DUDE #he was fuckin. manspreading INTO MY SEAT the whole. time. #his foot was in my space #and he was super muscly and took the arm rest and elbowed me too #also he spent like. 30 minutes silently doing.. kareoke??? #like. ok #anyways #I thoroughly enjoyed this film even if I desperately need sleep #I’m doing an internship abroad now tho so that’s fun #trying not to use data so I prob won’t be online as much #yeah. the menu slapped

I forgot to share this since I got the Blu-ray but the menu is the situation display. Hal is the play button

#Blu-ray menus my beloved. they’re always fun and hyper themed and I adore them #2001 a space odyssey #2001 aso #hal 9000 #blue ray #physical media

i just think they were made for each other

I've never played DMC but Dante always has given me Goofy Weird Uncle vibes and Vergil has always given Major Asshole, Condescending Bastard vibes.

Dante's vibes are: Would play Arcade games, would probably fall asleep on a couch with his hand in a bowl of cheeseballs, lazy badassery mixed with sarcasm and smirks

Vergil's have always seemed: Stuffy guy, probably labels people as "Peasant" or "Burdensome Idiot" in his inner monologue, looks down his nose at Lesser People TM.

As someone who has played dmc, would you say that the vibe assessment is accurate or is the vibe radar broken? *offers soapbox for the king's decree*

Oh my god *trips over the soapbox* Yes Dante is absolutely the goofy uncle who is full of dad jokes and one liners and yet is also somehow??? Just ????? Cool?????

But I think that’s a surface reading cuz below that he is a barely functioning person who is crushed with survivors guilt. I feel he’s a poster child of “using humour to deflect”. I wanna put a sticker on his forehead which reads “fuck it we ball”. He can also be surprisingly somber and serious and while I joke about his single brain cell the guy is smart, he just has brain damage from the colossal crushing weight of untreated depression

Vergil is an absolute snot and the idiot has some sort of a power and superiority kink. But I think he comes across as stiff and buttoned up is cuz he doesn’t know how to act as a person. His only points of reference for an ordinary human life are childhood and early adulthood. Beyond that it’s just being a puppet to a demon and then… whatever happened then

Considering that Vergil is the one that starts shit and Dante is the one that has to clean up after him, I think they’re both as stupid as the other. So while it’s difficult to imagine, yes Vergil is just as likely to pass face planting a bowl of cheeseballs as Dante

Thank u for coming to my ted talk

#ask hedge #I wish I had screenshots of the menu screens from dmc5 #where it’s like the cast just casually occupying spaces #and the funniest ones are between dante Nero and Vergil #cuz Vergil looks like a lonely dog that wants someone to pay attention to it #while Nero and dante are just doing whatever

Title: Major Malfunction Pairings: Quackity/Wilbur, Quackity/Schlatt Rating: Explicit Words: 10,700 A gift for @regicidal-optimism, as part of the @mcytblrholidayexchange Summary:

“I just think it’s a little ridiculous, that’s all,” Wilbur says around a mouthful of hash brown. “I mean the theater of it, you know? The spectacle.” “Of course it’s a spectacle," Quackity says. “We’re launching a fucking rocket.” “We launch rockets every day. This one just so happens to have people sitting on top of it.” “I’m not a chump for being excited about this,” Quackity says, setting up all the familiar defenses. “It’s a big deal. It’s a big deal every fucking time.” “I never said you were a chump, Quackity, let’s not be dramatic.” Quackity’s eyes stay on the road, but he can hear the eyeroll in Wilbur’s voice. “I only said that it’s depressingly mundane.” “For you, maybe," Quackity says, and swallows down the rest.  or Quackity and Wilbur are Space Shuttle flight control officers for NASA in the 1990s.

A McDonald’s menu from the 90s

#quackbur #schlackity #dsmp #dsmpshipping #my fic #my only rule for this was that no one could be an astronaut boring desk jobs only #okay there was also the rule that all of the songs on the playlist had to be from the early 90s but that was just a special treat for marro #of course I checked to see what was on the mcdonald's menu at the time who the fuck do you think I am #also this is a little dark but holy shit did I watch space shuttles explode an ungodly number of times while researching this thing

Did they just make the dashboard narrower????

#i reloaded my activity page and #the actual activity part got narrower by like 30 pixels #and suddenly there was more space between the menus and the edge of the screen #this is horrible the hell did they do #catgirltxt

starfield is very fun, but it continues the modern Bethesda tradition of mixing some truly wild game design choices with some basic ass writing

#why are there so many menus todd #why is there a delay in moving between them todd #why are there no ground vehicles todd #why does the uc vanguard storyline end with a choice where the 'right' one has a truly piss poor justification #sarah yelling at me because I chose to bring back a creature we drove to extinction over unleashing a brand new microbe into the ecosystem? #'you don't trust science!!!!' what??? tell me the science here that completely eliminates the risk of mutation or resistance sarah #even the general lore. there's some fun stuff here but also it's very... american #big government UN-esque united colonies vs. idealised space texas in the freestar collective with neon as the degenerate cyberpunk city #it just doesn't feel complete imo. it doesn't feel lived in. #I swear I am actually enjoying the game though lmao #I like the companions for the most part #I'm enjoying the faction quests and a lot of the side quests #and it's just fun gameplay wise imo #jessica plays starfield

One of my new years resolutions next year is gonna be to try new recipes with regular frequency because right now peanut butter balls and pita + hummus make up a solid 40% of my meals.

#chit chat #food mention #it's not that i can't cook it's just that finding meals that i can make very quickly in this tiny disorganized kitchen is a nightmare #imagine having prep space the size of a regular piece of paper #that's usually what im working with #sometimes less #homemade bread has been off the menu for nearly three years now #and so has most of the things i usually made when i had an apartment with two huge counters

back on my bullshit reading the twilight saga for the fanfic and i feel a crit analysis a-brewin and i kEP THE FUCKMEYER HANDLE JUST IN CASE THIS EVER HAPPENED BOYS WE'RE BACK AT IT AGAIN-

#no im just kidding crit lit aint back on the menu boys #haha unless #no but i really am breaking down the points of narrative failure in Eclipse bc i feel this is where things really took A Turn in the series #there were A Lot of literal and metaphoric conversations that needed to be had in this book - developed and continued - and instead #there just *wasn't* any of that. #if you're going to have your series set up as a discussion of vampirism vs humanity #ok #here it goes: #(fuck) #twilight is pro-vamp/pro-death/pro-immortality #whatever you want to label it as in the narrative #now in New Moon we have the introduction of the other side of the coin: humanity. this is where jacob really shines #Eclipse should have been a “dig your hands into the dirt” book & really break down the rebuttal of “well Bella *should* choose vampirism” #like- have it hurt! have it be messy! have bella *really* weigh the consequences of losing everyone except edward forever. have doubt! #what feels so unsatisfying is that the narrative leans so blatantly towards immortality - it downplays the pro-humanity argument #and it does it in such a way where the downplaying is noticeable and it sort of ruins the whole discussion #this is how you give your readers a satisfying ending to your series. you do not have to answer the question 'which is better: #immortality as a monster? or mortal life as a perfectly OK human?' #what it DOES have to do is allow your readers to really think about the discussion at hand. #and when you don't give your readers the space to do that - when you corral them into a choice without letting them come up with their #own opinions and answers - they're going to feel as though there's something missing. because there is. #(now: this is *different* from Bella being a biased narrator. in fact - Bella *should* be biased because this is written in 1st person #(but having the writer's hand so blatantly in the book is akin to having a photographer's hand in the shot. you ruin the immersion) #i'm marking up a PDF right now with a bunch of commentary on Eclipse and honestly..... it's been fun. #..........uh. #if i came back as fuckmeyer would yall support me LMAO

[confinesofmy]

me and my grandmother and cousin are going to visit an ancient monument next week and i'm sooo excited. because of the monument, for sure, because that is fucking crazy, but also honestly because i'm going to pack lots and lots of foods and drinks and supplies and i've got the route all planned out and all possible stops along the way. idk why i'm like this but planning and executing a trip is literally about 50% of my enjoyment.

#i told my cousin the menu and she replied HUMMUS so that's a win #i'm also making muffin tin onigiri sushi which will be fun! #might eat those while driving tbh #and i always make homemade chai as a treat for when we go places together and last time i made it it was so good we were lowkey shaken #i don't mind giving myself a lil treat i love a lil treat & i romanticise & structure as much of my life as possible to facilitate treats #but there's just something really special about sharing treats #i keep thinking about how i'm going to pack the cooler and best utilise the space and getting really excited #like i just can't wait to see how it all comes together #i definitely anticipate repackaging my sandwich ingredients 4+ times looking for the perfect fit #adam yaps

the first piece of unselectable content on the palace of mirrors dvd has 4 audio tracks - you can select which of the 4 videos you want to hear the audio from! i had assumed it was bottom right audio only but no. 1 (default) is bottom right, 2 bottom left, 3 top right, 4 top left (yes i just now figured this out despite it saying "select audio angle"... i'm not very bright)

#estradaposting #i think im gonna crop and upload each of the 4 to youtube separately with each corresponding audio track #why did they do it like this? no fucking clue. to save space on the dvd maybe?? but these arent in the dvd menu and theres no mention- #-of this footage existing on the physical dvd sleeve either????

[deepperplexity]

I hate this.

Tumblr @staff , with all due respect which is none atm, WHY WOULD YOU MAKE TUMBLR FEEL LIKE THE OVERWHELMING PIECE OF SHIT THAT IS FACEBOOK?!

WHAT IS THIS SHIT?! WHY DO YOU KEEP ON DESTROYING THE SITE?!

#tumblr you are destroying yourself #I can't be on this site when it looks like this #what the hell is this even #my brain is frying looking at all of these damn things I can sure as fuck go to via a drop-down menu when fucking neede #I'm pissed off by this to no end - tumblr used to be my safe space where I wouldn't be BOMBARDED with impressions from all sides #I can't be the only one feeling like this #do better tumblr

[tigerstyping]

you guys claim to love "nostalgic web design" but get super upset when a site adopts a classic three column layout on desktop

#text #web stuff #using horizontal space is good #having everything crammed in a top bar or expandable menu is so mobile-centric
