damn

Im a little disappointed with how little Bryce Charles was in Nerdy Prudes Must Die.

I mean- they introduced her in nightmare time (she ate up axe man) where she only had a few minor roles.

But then in NPMD she was only a minor character again!

I just really hope she gets to pla-

OH FUCK YEAH

#IM SO HYPED #NON-HATCHETFEILD MUSICAL #I mean I'm aroace #But Bryce Charles.... #let's go lesbians #starkid #npmd #nightmare time 2 #team starkid #nerdy prudes must die #black friday

i think hoffstrahm is like. THE funniest saw ship. one is fucking insane and the other is a serial killer

#saw #they don't infest me like the bathroom boys do but i do think of them sometimes #also all the jokes about strahm just being on coke and shit all the time like #you know the fuckass saw editing when someone's in a trap and everything is spinning and going nuts #that's what i imagine strahm's brain is like #hoffman is just elevator music that is randomly intercut with gymbro hype type beast mode shit #fuck it i guess i'll go ahead and tag them too huh why not #hoffstrahm

Splatoon 3: Side Order is good, but not great. I still highly recommend it, but if you care about the story, you're going to be disappointed. Quick review: spoilers ahead.

Side Order was the devs experimenting with Splatoon's gameplay loop. The campaign is a rogue-like, and it works amazingly well. Super fun, super challenging, building my deck and fighting through challenges with the stakes of resetting really scratched an itch in my brain. They did a great job with it.

Unfortunately, I feel like priority went to game design rather than story. Much of the mysterious artwork we saw in the first teaser trailer was completely unused; turns out, all of that was just concept art that never made it into the final product. Side Order failed to make me care about what was happening. I don't know why the protagonist had to be Agent 8; it could've been anyone else and the story would've worked the same.

Octo Expansion was the absolute peak of meshing story and gameplay. The campaign's hook is insanely strong; we immediately empathize with Agent 8 because we know from previous lore that octolings like her have been trapped underground for all their lives. We care about her fight to the surface because it's a fundamentally ideological fight for freedom. The plot stuff about Tartar and the Thangs is just nice set dressing; 8's fight for freedom is the real story.

There's none of that in Side Order. I don't particularly care about Marina's metaverse, even if it's tied to Octo Expansion's story. I don't know why Acht is there other than backstory stuff. It really feels like 8 is just told to do something and she does it because she's the protagonist; she has zero personal stakes or motivations in the conflict. This is a story blunder the devs did in Splatoon 3's default campaign––forgetting to give the protagonist a personal reason to fight––that I hoped would be fixed here, but alas.

What makes it worse is that the gameplay and story progression are completely out of sync. I beat the entire game on my third run in 4 hours. With each run, you get up to two keys to potentially unlock bits of story. That means you'll get about one piece of the story every two runs. There are twelve pieces of the story; I got the first and then beat the whole damn game. Now I have to go back and grind to see the remaining story when I've already beaten the final boss and resolved the conflict. I missed the entire story because I never had to reset because I blazed through the gameplay! It's just a real shame that I experienced everything without knowing... why it's happening. The final boss had me asking myself what the hell is going on because I don't know the backstory at all.

Again, I still really recommend. The devs did a great job, but Side Order remains in the shadow of Octo Expansion's incredible success. Like the default singleplayer campaign, there's just a lot of lost story potential here that, while not necessary, would have really elevated this DLC into something amazing.

#long #personal #rant #splatoon #side order #it's a shame too because I got SO FUCKING HYPED at the title drop #when I realized that the entire first 30 minutes of the game was JUST THE OPENING TUTORIAL and they hit you with the music #and the “nintendo presents” and the title drop to a slow mo explosion. I thought “holy shit this is gonna be huge” #alas it wasn't because it turns out i'm better at roguelikes than the devs anticipated so i beat it in 3 hours lol #octo expansion was a cultural reset. it did something to my brain. the entire rising action part of the story; the reveals the twists the #boss fights the upward climb. it was so incredibly hype and just upped the stakes over and over. nothing's come close

What do you imagine Buttons' voice sounding like? I can't not picture him just.. sounding like Tom Cardy, but I'm really curious if he sounds a certain way in your head!

This is a question often asked! He's actually been voiced before for our Fallout 4 mod, by @voicesbyzane ! So yknow... like that:

I keep wanting to practice 3D animation to the mod lines but I can't seem to find the time for it. :')

#I've done 2 small little Blender animations with voice but they're not good enough to showcase #maybe when I have more/better ones #Buttons #voice #video #the music videos are more like a GTA Buttons inner monologue imo #his inner voice is just Tom I guess #“Go blow up a bank you legend” <-that's how he hypes himself up before a heist

Hi hi hi! So, quick question, what's your opinion on The Amazing Digital Circus? It's been trending and I wonder what's your opinion on it. Also, your amazing!!!! (And if you do like it, who's your favorite character???)

OH I LOVE TADC! Its a VERY interesting show! As for my favorites, i absolutely ADORE KINGER AND CAINE!

Kinger because... well, look at him

silly lil guy energy right there!

As for Caine, he is MUCH more gentler and sweeter than he seems. A lot more interesting then the regular "sentient AI that wants to torture humanity"

He seems like he does genuinely care, but he has no idea how humans work.

also, a cool thing my beloved mutual @ch3rie-pop figured out! (<-go check out her lovely art too!)

Cherie said that Caine doesnt have the ability to watch over everyone (since Pomni DID find herself in the VOID) and only says these kinds of stuff just to discourage everyone from doing stuff that they obviously shouldn't!

ALSO HE DOES CARE SOMEWHAT! look how considerate he is of Zooble's feelings

AND YOU ARE AMAZING TOO @lemoncoffee-or-bored!!!

#the amazing digital circus #tadc caine #tadc kinger #answered asks #lemon its always a pleasure seeing you! #but yeah Kinger is so silly #and Caine is a LOT more interesting than he seems #I also dont get the Jax hype either #....Hes not all that interesting to me... #OH NO #WHY DO I HEAR BOSS MUSIC??? #AAAAAAAAAAA #THE JAX FANS #THEY ARE COMING FOR ME #OH NOOOOOOOOOOO

No babe it’s fine, it’s just the way you opened a musical by murdering a literal infant, especially after you compared him to your own son kinda threw me off

The Silent Hill games were really onto something when they started the games with a dope music video (either immediately or after waiting on the title screen for a minute). Really sets the tone and gets you hyped and showcases the awesome original music. More games should do that.

#artie thoughts #silent hill #the first SH game I played was SH3 #which I bought by accident because I forgot the name of the game I meant to get #so I went in completely blind #so my very first impression was that radical You're Not Here music video #and I was like !!! #so hyped
