I love the goths so much, but the newbies are so under appreciated. Like bob and Betty are so couple goals like Mortimer and Bella

A typical rogue and bard duo... What trouble would they cause next?

#ts4 #ts4 renders #bg3 #chloe pries #astarion ancunin #tav #astarion #i just got into bg3 and i'm now in act 3 with 100 hours in #and that brainrot comes into the sims apparently #anyway in the bg3 au chloe is like a archfey warlock/swords bard #and she lost a lot of her memories when she got abducted by the mindflayers #she doesn't remember that she used to be a bard until around act two #went from just playing music to using music as her source of magic eventually #ahhh cant wait to finish act 3 for real #btw she was born from a summoning ritual that her dad performed #her dad tried to summon a cambion but rolled a nat 1 that day and got her as a baby instead #at least power corruption doesn't get to him? yippee? #anyway he had to raise her and stuff after he got disgraced by the wizarding community that he was in #cuz he attempted to commune with mephistopheles to grant him a cambion that could assist him in battle #anyway now he's a powerful ass sorcerer sdfhgjsdhfjhsd #(if you're wondering if that is lincoln yes that's him in this bg3 au)

for me, some level of trauma related to being the least-favourite child is directly related to playing videogames and boredom

growing up my younger sister got handed the SNES controller and i didnt. she played with my parents and by herself and i watched but didnt play. sometimes this was because i wasnt allowed and other times i thought it was a choice, even though, my choice was because i didnt know how to play and if i asked my mom would have said "really? you want me to start a whole new save file JUST for you?" and i would have quietly said nevermind, and remembered not to ask ever again

when we got a wii, for my sister's birthday she got 2 wii games. for my birthday i got decorations even though i was too young to understand what a decoration is and i just tried playing with them (emphasis on try). sometimes i would come home from school and my sister would have a random gift (something i never got) - another wii game! because it was on sale at blockbuster, and oh sorry Luna, we didnt get anything for you because they didnt have anything you would like.

by the end of our wii, i had 1 wii game that was mine - i chose whenever i wanted to play it, for how long, and if anyone else wanted to play it they had to ask. that was the rules, because it was mine. my younger sister has 11 wii games.

when i was in middle school, i was not allowed to get a better (real) console. it was too expensive. plus, we have the wii, it works perfectly fine, just play on that. m...my one game? that i've been playing since i was 9? that i've 100%'d 5 times? yes.

when i was in highschool i wasnt allowed to have money, especially not to spend online. "luckily" i met an internet friend who was a hacker and sold what he claimed to be abandoned steam accounts. he gave me one for free. i played stardew valley and oblivion religiously, because my laptop was built in 2010 and could barely handle the lowest graphics settings of a game several years older than it. it ended up getting double-hacked so after a year of using it, i once again had no more videogames

now im an adult and i just... cant play videogames. basically none of them. after abut 30 minutes of playing i get so anxious that i have to stop. i havent played stardew valley in about 2 years, my favourite game of all time that i used to stay up until 8am playing.

the game loads, and im anxious because i forget the controls. i walk up to an npc and get anxious because if i dont pick the perfect dialogue tree, im failing myself by not being perfect, so i'll pause the game and go on my phone for 10 minutes to find the answer (i HATE doing this.) i approach a puzzle and im anxious because what if im not smart enough to solve it and i fail again? i need to check if anyone's in the room with me now because if anyone is watching me play they'll know i'm a failure too so i should stop playing. but, videogames are communal (they must be,) i have only ever experienced playing them with someone else there (watching sibling/parents play, watching youtube letsplays) but if someone else sees me fail i'm the worst person ever. and i mean, realistically, how do you even play a videogame for more than 1 hour? how do focus on 1 thing for that long? sounds fake to me

but... i want to play videogames. i know they're experiences. and i want to have experiences. especially because as a disabled person my only other option is youtube. so if i'm not playing videogames, i'm bored out of my skull laying in bed, doing nothing, staring at my youtube screen watching the exact same video essay for the 6th or 7th time this week because the algorythm's only other choice is "perfect damascus steel knife blade DIY"

other than youtube, what am i supposed to do? i cant play videogames - i'm not perfect at them, i cant focus, and i just dont deserve them. there is nothing else.

#and im not even touching on how this has othered me socially #i had to go to high school and listen to my friends talk about playing soulsborne while i had to go home and play fucking #my sims kingdom for the wii. that was my game. that was the 1 game i had #i didnt even choose it either. or ask for it. or know what it was. my parents bought it because it was in the fucking clearance bin #once again i should emphasize that there was no reason for them to treat me this way at fucking all #i am autistic but i am also like very fucking normal. painfully so #i was especially a very normal child #but in their brains they just see me as the RWord and that's enough justification to not give me things that i need or make me happy #sorry for posting this on this blog i pretty much have 1 friend and she talks to me like once a week lol #personal #not dog #parental trauma #yes im including this as trauma btw i literally cry when faced with the task of playing a video game i literally panic #there's also something to be said about growing up in a hypermisogynistic environment and how living with 1 male and 1 TV #makes me immediately give up videogame powers to him. like. why am i playing the tv im a girl he's in charge He should be playing videogame #big shout out to the 0 people who will read this entire post why tf am i posting this oh riiighhht i have no friends. ok tumblr post now

i thought it would be funny if i did mock sketches of a dating sim w the characters in my comic but only had enough energy to do serene. he would be one of the hardest ones to romance but their scenes w you would be some of the sweetest 🫶 she’s loyal til the end

#chatter #my art #oc tag #serene #wips #i’ve been watching sss play potionomics and i’ve been playing stardew valley a lot.. so this has been on the mind 🐴 #the hardest one to romance of all characters in the gang is rohan btw. also canonically he already has a bf but this is dating sim rules #other relationships aren’t really real or sumn #like that #if you you romance iyana instead serene will find out first and he’ll be surprised you two even knew each other but ultimately would be #happy. specifically for iyana but you too if ur friendship is high enough #the only other one i’ve really thought about is jay #if u try to flirt when u first meet her she’ll laugh and then tell you to get out her clinic #she has work to do 💔 u need at least 1 heart w her to get flirting across

[vanivanvanilla]

started playing a date with death yesterday and i’m so obsessed u guys have no idea

#van speaks #it’s a free dating sim that literally came out yesterday it’s soooooo good check it out if u like that stuff #it allows u to choose ur pronouns n to insert whatever pronouns u want btw ^_^ awesome addition #i got ending 3 when i finished my first playthrough earlier n i’m so happy with that ending but i heard there’s another 1-2 positive ones #im curious abt the bad endings but i probs won’t go for them for a while if i do get to them since i want good endings LOL #but yah super fun game i just bought the dlc n now i’m gonna go play that :3

if i ever shut up about how horrible & yet amazing it was to have conquest as my first fire emblem game it means i have been brainwashed

#started with conquest moved on to fe3h complained for 2 years about how fucking easy the maingame was (on normal) #moved on to engage. FAR better mechanically than fe3h imo but i just hate the life sim elements #(i never got into the latter 3 persona games because of that tbh) #so maybe im just a grumpy loser who started with conquest realized the life sim elements were minimal and adapted to that #LIKE #THE MONTHS ARE FINE IN YOUR FIRST PLAYTHROUGH. MAYBE EVEN ON THE SECOND. BUT I HAVE OVER 200 HOURS IN 3H #and skipping the months isnt exactly viable either #ive started doing hard/casual & normal/classic so i cant exactly afford to just skip the entire month #plus my current goal is to make a ng+ chain with byleth having s in all skills so. #ive finished cf like 4 times #am once & vw once #still havent finished silver snow because if you think i can play all of part 1 with the eagles & then not follow edelgard #you are mistaken #i cant do that when my beloved jeritza is so close #currently on the fourth? run in the chain and it hurts choosing the blue lions. black eagles forever #genuinely dont care about the political discourse btw i just really like hubert & jeritza #ramblings

[heretyc]

i gotta start playing other games y'all 😭😭

#THIS IS FINE #STOP DYING FFS!!!! #these are my girls btw i made them in the sims #left is tilly bee and right is eden seraphim #EDEN IS A MEME GUYS JUST LOOK AT HER FACE #she is traumatized (she likes outlast and her fave antag died after breathing once) #(this is a tragedy) #this can apply to almost every antag unless you like marta chris walrider and louterbitch #chris was the og he lived for two fucking games #but whistleblower and 1 technically took place at the same time so #unpop opinion but whistleblower was more fun #1 gets super fun around trager's bit and that's....it #i'm saying this after playing both games more than 10 times LOL #outlast #red barrels tings!!!

That night, dinner is oddly uncomfortable. Dalton can’t stop casting glares in Sol’s direction while Sol is uncharacteristically silent. Ana is suspicious, but Dalton was unwilling to share what was wrong. 

Alice on the other hand noticed nothing and spoke on and on about her day at school. Ana was the only one really listening. 

#Gen 1 #Blackwood Legacy #The Sims 4 #ts4 #dalton is so dramatic lol #btw I'm 420 friendly in case uhhh u were wondering #was literally zooted when I played this scene
