they need to start giving the shitty options to shiver im so tired of her winning

#splatoon #bc i know good and well if she got team fame and not frye love wouldve won like it did the other 2 times #i dont even get why people like her shes so BORING #boring personality boring design boring boss fight boring dialogue #i think this is the result of fests being regional #cause yeah 3 teams on its own can work well IF THEY WERE KEPT REGIONAL #cause now nintendo has to come up with themes with 3 options that resonate with the whole world #which is hard!! cause cultural differences and all that stuff and also just trying to make a theme that isnt boring #which is how we get shit like spicy v sweet v sour and gear v grub v fun #and thats sad considering a good amount of peoples first time playing a fest will be in splat3 #but whatever. thats just my two cents. this fest pretty much ruined the whole event for me #splatfest #money vs fame vs love

i need to do like low effort doodles to organize my thoughts on the Things

like how do i eloquently elaborate that the "God" and watchers from Drakenier would absolutely send a plague or disease that turns people into stone and then inadvertently have said humans discover and use the energy from the human soul "ergo" to advance the speed of their own destruction.

What I like about both said games and stories of that world is that its a story about pain, misery, hope, secrets and lies are all such human things. I often think about the protagonists in Yoko Taro's works and how you don't necessarily have to be good or bad you just have to think you're right. I feel so excited thinking upon these scenarios that can be applied to P and his own dilemma on being "good" and the choices the player can make telling lies or the truth in any given scenario, I feel like what makes this really effective in the setting of Krat is that all of the cast and characters have a secret, withheld information is kept away from the player to be discovered. An end to justify the means. Meanwhile the whole world seems to be falling apart.

#mikh talks #drakenier #lies of p #shouuuld i tag spoilers or is this vague enough #bro i was like bouncing when i realize how morally fucked up the alchemists are and also the 2nd phase of Simon Maus fight #it was soooo cool #i also just love metaphors using puppets/androids/nonhuman entities discovering the meaning of being human #its literally in my url its my jam #when they intentionally obscured what the bosses said i was like ohhhh they're gonna do it theyre gonna knock me upside the head #THE SHADES #im sorry if this looks like the ramblings of a mad man you could literally just ask me questions if you wanna know what i think of it etc #i think its fun to think about and i know just a stupid amount of drakenier lore and short stories #also yoko taro works have a history of referencing fairy tales with some sort of twisted reveal so its refreshing seeing more interpretatio #i never really thought much of the source material of pinnochio but this has me fascinated

Luigi's Mansion 3 is really funny because 75% through the game you are forced to backtrack for a new ability that is literally completely optional after the first time that you are required to use it

#super mario bros #luigi #luigi's mansion 3 #I just beat the game; it was pretty fun #the character animations and environment variety are spectacular #and the game has just the right amount of jank #that being said; you think they'd use the super suck for; like; at least one boss fight? #I only found one use for it outside of its first section; though I assume it could be used on other floors to get inaccessible gems #I kinda thought you would use it in a final 'you've basically already won' phase against king boo #also kind of weird how boos are super de-emphasized #boos are also just completely optional after your first encounter

I can only imagine getting Miraak to respect whoever he’s staying with in a scenario where the ldb hands him off to do more important things is A Struggle because he’s soooo powerful and how could a non-dovahkiin understand? yadda yadda he won’t shut up about the ldb either, and the other person is just gonna get sick of that shit fast

Anyway Wren probably rubbed some of his lipstick on his fist and decked him which left him paralyzed on the ground for like an hour to simmer down the first time he acted up. None of that in his house, thank u

#Also I think him having killed multiple living/false gods made him a legitimate threat to try to fight so uh #local 5'4" mer suddenly has boss music starting to play if you look at him wrong and he's In A Mood #Though I don't doubt Miraak would try to call his bluff because well he's not a dragonborn how strong can he be #not art #Mind you his lipstick is strong enough that too much contact will start giving you organ failure #and a small amount will paralyze you #and knowing miraak being as strong as he is he probably just got paralyzed but a usually fatal amount

the corpse of king minos is very fucking big and Scary but you can parry his punches pretty easily and thats the easiest way i can explain how good ultrakill feels

#but even when the game is actually hard and kills me several times i dont feel like quitting? #i turn it off after 2 - 3 missions because thats the amount of time it takes for my body so get so Over Excited it stops aiming right #but i havent actually felt like ragequitti g #because the game just feels so good #i can ramble about how good ultrakill feels for HOURS bro #ramblings #switching between guns. the variants. coin tossing never gets old. accidentally exploding yourself with your own shotgun #fucking. SOUND EFFECTS #that too like when you parry. that sound?? makes my autism happy #THE SLIDING SOUND AOUGH #the fact that it does sound like ur made of metal but not in a bad screechy way that makes me want to cry #in a world where realistic movement physics are the norm having this much control. god #the witcher 3 is one of my favorite games ever. just as an example. but i DREAD playing that again knowing how walking around feels #yes sometimes in ultrakill you overshoot something because youre Fast but thats also just me needing to stand perfectly right for terminals #'look we have realistic physics' ok COOL BUT ARE THEY ACTUALLY FUN TO PLAY WITH #hyperrealism is impressive in videogaming YES but its also led to this monolith. in triple a #i do want to give credit where its due once i got used to the destiny warlock jumps (blink especially) that game felt really good too #but ultrakill doesnt force me to socialize and has a much more pleasant community so im fine where i am rn. actually #ive done all totk dungeons (I THINK) except for the final chasm and let me tell you. i dont want to fight any of those bosses ever again #why js that relevant? ive already beaten 1-4 twice and will probably go for my second 3-2 run tomorrow. THIS GAME. BOSSES. AAAAAAA #i love totk but those bosses were a fucking nightmare #thats gonna be a separate post

I saw a post a while back responding to criticism of botw as being "a good game but not a good zelda game", and they responded with how the Zelda Formula was getting tired and stale and botw was a response to that, that it was meant to harken back to the original zelda game where it just drops you in and it makes you find everything on yr own. which like is fine and good and all but. you do know that the original zelda had 8 full unique (as unique as they could be on the nes) dungeons right. the original zelda game had dungeon items. they didn't need to take out one of zeldas defining gameplay aspects and replace it with the fundamentally inferior shrines and divine beasts. you can make a game non linear and refresh its gameplay without taking out one of the series' strongest aspects.

#I saw it ages ago and haven't really stopped thinking about it #there's no way you can ever try to tell me that shrines r superior to dungeons no way #shrines are short. dull. all use the same assets and same theming. theres no room to work on and develop concepts #some concepts r developed across multiple shrines but bc the order you find shrines in is different every time it still doesnt work #divine beasts r fucking disappointing. they're the actual dungeons but they're abt as long as a mini dungeon and as boring as the shrines #they at least have the set pieces of taking place on giant moving mechs going for them. but inside they're all the same #the bosses are visually all the same #you can make a good zelda game w only four dungeons majoras mask is RIGHT THERE. but mm also has sidequests and a strong story and #strong characters that aren't already dead that you actually give a shit about #romani ranch and the. I can't remember his name. kafe or whatever the fuck his quest was so interesting #the only quest botw has that comes anywhere near as close to it in quality is tarrey town and the actual GAMEPLAY side of that quest is- #just chop down trees and gather x amount of wood #like multiple people I know who played botw didn't even want to actually fight the final boss/only fought the final boss out of boredom #that's not good!!!! when people aren't invested enough in your story to even fucking beat it that's not a good sign!!!!! #mmmmm don't get me wrong. botw is a good game. it's fun to explore and traverse that world. its physics and chemistry systems r insane #but this is why people say it's a good game but not a good zelda game bro 😭 I want more than 2 types of dungeons #botw is a game im very conflicted on I think it's fascinating. but I've only played it thru fully once #anytime I try to come back to it it can never really regain my attention fully #some of that absolutely has to do with adhd but some of that also has to do with the fact that it's not a rewarding game to play- #for me after a certain point. I've seen everything there is to see and that's really the only compelling thing it offers #ocarina of time and twilight princess and majoras mask all offer me cool boss fights and compelling stories #THAT'S a reason to come back. botw I think I need another 5 years to forget everything about it before I can come back #that last point has more to do with me than an inherent problem with the game #... but it's still the only game in the series (that I've played) that has that problem #again. I like botw. it was phenomenal the first 200 hours. I hope tok is more like what I want from a zelda game though #need to stop putting the entire post in the tags goddamn #espeon cries

They did shimano so fucking dirty in the stageplay 😭😭😭 hes supposed to be the scariest guy in the room but he looks like mini me

#Yakuza liveblog #like its not his stature that is the problem even ... like the guy is a total pushover ..... what happened .... #how did they think this was a good idea ... his character is completely lacking in charisma he comes off as totally full of shit and sleazy #this is nottttt the same shimano who sliced two fingers off a mans hand on a whim like .... he let majima threaten him ..... what was that #that entire scene is so fucking wrong the point of having shimano be majimas boss is his ability to scruff majima like ... WHAT HAPPENED #i dont even like shimano but hes supposed to be a formidable foe built like a brick shithouse and ready to doublecross you in a second #he takes insane amounts of pleasure in tugging people around like theyre his puppets ... he loves having majima under his thumb because he #KNOWWSSSS That literally nobody else can control him like he does like thats the point !!! of having a boss like shimano you cant fight back #stage play shimano is NOT the man that dojima called in to wipe out a mafia group (albeit alongside his worstie kazama) like he let majima.. #talk down to him threathen him insult him and then pat him on the head like their roles are reversed #noooo dude thats not him #they could have kept the actor he looks really good in the suit and his voice is next level but my godd the script was so unkind to him #but god they made him act like he had to toss a juicy slab of meat to get majima to go anywhere #shimano should be able to point somewhere for majima to start running he doesnt fucking need bait hello .... #stage play shimano cant even hope to control majima past the basest level of bribery this sucks !!!!!

i want kuki shinobu so bad but…i’ll have to fight spectres (which i hate) and the ruin serpent (which i also hate) to level her up… do you have any tips for fighting them

Yeah same I dislike fighting the spectres, but the tip i can give you is that if you have a built catalyst characters they can fight pretty great against them, unless you're fighting one with the same element as your character (yanfei=pyro spectre). Just make sure there's a backup person to murder those floaty little bastards

As for the Ruin Serpent.. in my opinion I think fighting them is a bit more tedious than say, a Hypostasis, but I do have a tip that may or may not be useful:

When the Ruin Serpent releases those oozing concretion/black mud things, only take out three with your lumenstone and leave out one so you can easily stun the serpent when it tries to absorb it.

Also, you can check out this neat guide on how to fight the Ruin Serpent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJxYYy06UOc

This video pretty much covers all the Ruin Serpent's attacks and some tips on how to fight it.

#fish asks #genshin impact #although i think the reason why i find the ruin serpent tedious to fight is because im too used to yanfei doing inhuman amounts of damage #she shreds the hypostases like paper #and i think its stun is too short i think? #i dunno i might not just be skilled with fighting it compared to other bosses #like all ruin machines it has a pretty high resistance to physical attacks so also keep that in mind #ive never farmed spectres so perhaps look up a farming route for them? #or maybe just mark places where a lot of them spawn so you can go there easily #thats what i did with my fatui murder spree for ningguang

[biohazard-inevitable]

I really have to draw that one baby leash meme but with xiao holding the leashes and me and itto in the poses cause I know damn well Itto would join me wholeheartedly in doing stupid shit like charging at bosses 24/7 while xiao tries and fails to stop us.

#genshin impact #im a very stupid and impulsive man #my daily resin rarely goes to the ley lines #its always major bosses or domains #the amount of times i’ll fight something out of pure impulse #like the wolflords #i saw them once and went #OH I GOTTA HIT THAT THING #which is honestly i think why me and itto would get along so well #but we’d also get into so much trouble #we come sulking into wangshu inn all beat up and xiao just yells at us

Starting to think switching out my mage for a sage mightve not been a good idea (<- rlly. Doesnt. Wanna grind for levels anymore.)

#i killed the mc to level her & another guy up without him taking all the exp but my godddd #WDYM I CANT USE THE TREES OR ZOOM GET MY ASS TO GITTINGHAM RN!!!! #WHY DOES HE MAGICALLY COME BACK ALIVE WITH 1 HP WHEN I FIGHT GROTTO BOSSES!!! #AND WHY DOES HE NEVER GET HIT!!!!!!!!!!! #I JUST WANNA KILL THE ANTICHRIST ALREADY MAN!!!!!!! #nillas #all this and i dont think ive actually gotten my mc 'funeral fource' lol........ #i dont think he needs it but yk would be handy #how do people go about playing this game thinking about grinding all day my eyes hurt #also my sage IS my mage. She was level 42 now shes level 37 ☹️ You might think thats not too far off but the amount of exp I need is insane #for how little I can get with the mc being dead (No access to realm of the all mighty ☹️) #ig i could revive him and then kill him once we get there but he's too good at dodging and they won't attack him #also i dont think my sage and the minstrel are strong enough for that place. #this is what i get for thinking ''Making her a Sage THIS LATE IN THE GAME wouldn't be that bad :) It suits her character more :))'' #to be fair I was 100% expecting the sage to be something unlockable after the final boss. It isnt. Its the last unlockable job / class #before the boss. And i dont have self restraint. And i heard the sage is OP.

played too much star rail this might become a genshin and hsr blog for real

#i got up to the final xianzhou boss and im sorry the latin/fantasy names are taking me the fuck out #especially for like the insane amount of buddhist inspiration they seemed to have shoved in there #no immersion at all lol what even is phantylia or whatever the hell #boss fight music was really good though #i also thought it was underwhelming but im too attached to the characters to necessarily care #ramblings! #mostly though i think im also so fucking confused idk if i did the quests in the right order or if i was supposed to learn about high cloud #quintet like Before i did that quest lmfao everything with blades past life shit felt so random so i feel like ive no reading comprehension #also i maintain that this game has No Drip everything is so fugly somehow. i vastly prefer genshin visuals and honestly also the story #but am jealous of the event replay in hsr idk why they dont make their games equally lol #have realized that i hate turn based games but i'll keep playing this ig...... the chars are cute #whatever. spewing thoughts so i can stop thinking about it anymore!

gauntlet of shar and moonrise towers have been the most stressful and rage inducing part of bg3 for me so far lmao

I don't remember the last time I've been so annoyed at a game like it's to the point I think I might just switch to easy mode instead of normal mode on my next play through;;;;;;

#baby bat unmuted #I'm taking a break and going to bed #I'll start over in the morning #I mean I already slept on gauntlet of shar last night and dealt with that today #that temple filled me with rage lmao #tonight I have to sleep on moonrise towers cuz well it's one boss fight after another after another I'm dying #but also because I think I missed an important romance thing but it seems I've lost my quick save for it #because quick save is my best friend in battle and it seems I don't have a limitless amount #so instead of needing to restart the 2 battles I've been losing #I also need to restart the one I already won x-x #I should have hard saved after that fight but oh well #maybe next time I won't need to use as many health potions #god I need more health potions #bg3

[ajdrawshq]

gonna be honest. i had a harder time w the kingdom of coronas boss than everything in the late game so far and i dont know how to feel abt that

#like u do Not want to know how many tries that boss took me but i just beat both the larxene/marluxia fight and replitwo/xigbat fight #in less than a dozen each ?????? #i rememer seeing a video where someone said that theres actually a capped amount of damage that u take/can deal #in kh2 #so i wonder if kh3 is the same ? bc everything should be one shotting me at this point #altho it is funny doing lvl 1 crit with that ez code that triples damage for everyone bc then everything DOES just kill u #and ive been playing with that until now bc im not that much of a masochist #fighting xigbar and replitwo at once is so funny tho. literally just spam attack at xigbar and neither can touch u #bc xigbars always in the air and replitwo cant aim that high. its great #side note. if/when i ever get the confidance i rly wanna write smth where Repliku survives somehow or comes back or whatever #and ends up in twilight town.. #both for repliroku reasons bc i gotta keep what little brand i have #but also bc the part in the novel where they go there in com to fight riku.. i think theyd like it there :] #kh

mob psych 100 manga review:

overall pretty good. i tore through the volumes in a few hours. the tone and themes always felt consistent. i wasnt that into the art style at first but it was expressive and dramatic where it needed to be.

i liked the characters well enough but a lot of them didnt get used to their potential.

a student investigator in a town with weird phenomena could have been cool but she was just a mob fangirl.

a psychic fangirl who was interested in aliens could have been interesting but she was just a background decoration until one arc toward the end.

scars and powerful espers introduced just to get beaten in one chapter. like that puppet girl with 4 lines. and her buddy whos main characteristic was being a psychic who's a woman.

teru and ritsu especially could have been cool ongoing rivals but they became so passive after their arcs.

reigen pretty strong character the whole time, i understand the appeal.

i know a lot of my interpretation comes from reading it so fast. when i watch the anime im sure those characters will feel much more significant when given proper pacing that i cant speed thru.

if they make any changes i hope they have umbrella guy and alien girl join the psychic agency sooner.

and that they dont yadda yadda over the city being destroyed. show the espers putting the bricks back together or something.

#i think shigeo's crush and the improvement club were used the exact right amount #im so happy the boys were genuine friends and not bullies #significant but not too important #and the crush had actual admirable traits #i liked moments when reigen successfully tricked people into thinking hes the boss #or he manages to outsmart an esper by being normal #that arc where he was humiliated sucked #i liked the arc with eyebrow dad #and the arc with the possessed rich girl #the chapter fighting the scarecrow was cool #and dimple #i liked seeingwhat entry level jobs the scars got. i genuinely love the shonen trope of defeated enemies becoming immediately friends. #dove reads mob100
