SPOILERS FOR ELATION 1 IN SWARM SIMULATED UNIVERSE!!

FINALLY AFTER 2 WEEKS OF GRINDING I FINALLY GOT THE ELATION ENCOUNTER!!! RAAH THE THINGS I DO FOR LORE-

^ HOLY SHIT IT'S. THEM!!!!

Picking the second option gives a more cute answer :]]

Anyways, cough, Ahavili crumbs anyone? 👀👀

Also don't mind the next screenshot showing the first option-

^ I can't decide if this is a 4th wall break or not ajdkajsh- Is Aha referring to SimUni as the "game", or are they referring to HSR the game? Maybe I'm overthinking this, but the fact they mentioned "account" just sticks out to me for some reason 👀

^ Huh, I wonder what Aha has to do with Ena... I tried looking through the Ena encounter and I still can't really wrap around why Aha would want to help them

^ Hoh, HOHOHOHHHAJAHAH

"Fake Akivili" you say? 👁👁 OOOO SHIVERS HAHAHAHAHS

Alright, the jig is up let's talk then!

SCREWLLUM BBGIRL ILY TY FOR THINKING OF MY SAFETY BUT PLEASE LET ME TALK TO THEM MORE NOOOOOOOOOO

We immediately get the "Cosmic big lotto" and "interastral big lotto" curios after this 👀

The rest of Herta's dialogue for anyone curious :

The first domain of the next plane is affected by Aha's "Disrupt" effect!

Drats... You'll have to pay attention later. Oh well, just think of it as humoring them, I suppose.

Anyways, THIS WAS SO FUN!!! HOLY SHIT I REMEMBER SMILING EXCITEDLY JUST REAIDNG THROUGH THIS LIKE AKSJMXKAB THE SILLY!!!!

Again, this reinforces just how self aware Aha is as an Aeon that it's ingrained into who they are. Their mere simulation is capable of ignoring and manipulating genius society code! For all I know, they might have already known they're in HSR The Game.

They're up to something devious, and I can't wait to be at the other end of the punchline!

#Fruit talks #this game mode is HARD man #I can only really get by with Hunt. I don't have a lot of follow up attackers so Elation wasn't too helpful in getting me to progress sobs #Though the Hunt + Elation interplay goes really well with welt who slows down the enemies so it did help in some regard! #Elation 2 here I come #elation discussion

Someone once told me that when it comes to volleyball, we must communicate with our hearts.

[Twins, 2023, Episode 6]

(Just First's heart melting in real time, no big deal)

#Sprite has finally cracked this man's shell and it's all over from here #they're both so done and so soft for each other and it's all happening finally #Sprite decided to go off book and play at being Zee on ultra hard mode and he's still somehow winning this game #i did not think i could care about a sports drama as much as i do about this show but here we are #firstsprite #spritefirst #twins the series #twins bl #mia gifs things #mia gifs twins things #mia gifs drama things #mia watches things

random underrated blorbos of mine. garrett and lea. theyre exactly the opposite and i think more people should play their respective games

#thief the dark project #crosscode #my art #its very hard for me to draw rn for some reason. why cant i draw people. #too many splatoons. #anyway garrett is one of my favourite protags hes such a smarmy asshole #and bc thief is focused on stealth mechanics all the sounds are turned up to 11 for player convenience #which means it sounds like hes wearing STEEL CAPPED BOOTS all the time and huffing and puffing like an old man whenever he climbs #meanwhile lea literally cant speak on her own volition and requires a hacker to hack in various words in her voice #her name. obvs being one of them. #these are both fairly challenging games with fairly easy modes if ur scared so give em a go. theyre both on gog

[fooltofancy]

important to understand that my approach to oc design and characterization depends explicitly on how i'm playing that specific game, like. a thing you should know about ilya is that he is the kind of person who will dive into the middle of a large pull ahead of the tank and pop all of his mitigation while screaming because i get distracted and do that. constantly.

... it's the siren's call of the big aoe damage noises, ok.

#mostly im thinking about these things because they're the easy things to think about #i am. very. very. bad. at like deeplore dives lmao #so bad!!!!!!! i'm here for the emotional complexity do Not ask me where this man lives i don't know #... i do know. #once it starts branching out into history and family lore and godforbid fucking cultural lore i am just #so dumb. i'm so dumb i was not designed for worldbuilding even if it's just the world of one weird little guy #v invested in other people's sandboxes because mine is very small and it's also just full of rocks. #anyway. #my partner: BABY MOOOOOOOOODE #me: it's okay my heal is up it'll be FINE #also increasingly play casters like melee dps so everybody gets to suffer that as well #ilya standing directly under a very large guy in his stupid leylines like MANAWARD'S UP IT'S FINE #.... i dont play blm as much now honestly because to contribute i have to be less stupid. and that's not fun. #i really. REALLY enjoy the big melee dps damage noises #they're across the board better than caster noises. so disappointing because in my heart i am On Fire #sam+pal noises are the best noises in the game #SPINNING #i'm thinking too hard about backstories and it's not going well lmao #grabbing this creature by the shoulders and shaking him violently like WHO ARE YOOOOOOOU #concussed probably his brain is just sloshing around in there #babg mode blogging #this is also why he's canonically A Guy Who Touches Things He Shouldn't #because i'm that guy. #i'm the guy who touches things. #this explains sehren also like she would not be who she is if i didnt play dragona age with wild hubris and abandon #.... it wasnt fun unless i was wildly underleveled in places i didnt belong ok #every if mc ive gotten invested in also

mini life update thing :’]

-doing zine work this week so no art for a bit

-still in gaming phase. it’s been 2 months

-??;!;?:(.?/?3(?:?.?.?,/?)/!,?:!,$?.!!?

-undertaking the arduous task of watching detco on the side

#khytal.ks #I’m trying not to feel bad about the gaming thing bc I drew almost every day for a year last year #idk it feels like everything’s going by too fast and I’m not getting a chance to catch up :( #firmly believe that it’s never too late for anything but #man is it hard to push onward when parents keep telling you that all your friends have graduated and are out Doing Things with their lives #like. hello I want to learn how to do things but I keep getting shamed for not knowing basic stuff instead of getting the help I asked for #ANYWAY #entering ‘oh god oh fuck there’s a deadline’ mode so I’ll probably be a bit offline the next few days

(playing hlm2) damn i forgot how much i fucking hate this game

#JOKING obviously but #man dead ahead on hard mode fucking blows #dead ahead in general fucking blows but half ammo capacity is killing my ass rn #but also. i want the S rank. so i'm gonna get the S rank. eventually. sigh #i might start skipping around honestly bc there r some hard lvls later on too but like. i could just start picking off the easier ones #this is technically my full 2 replay tho so i Wanted to try and go in order #idk we'll see #maybe i just need to rebuild the muscle memory; it's my first time opening the game in a few weeks #problem for later archie. i am going to bed. gn 👍🏼 #the trash speaks

"I should probably stop doing challenging runs at work" (immediately throws myself into another Hard mode)

I mean. it paid off...... lol. Hard 1cc of SoEW, with ReimuB!!! That makes this the 8th Touhou game I have cleared on Hard mode :^)

#remi plays touhou #god SoEW is so stressful. i try not to hold future QoL against the older games but Man. the lack of focus/slowdown is Brutal #pulled it off with zero lives and bombs left lol #still one of the 'easier' Hard modes though #at my current skill level i could MAYBE beat HRtP and HSiFS on Hard......? but other than that i think im at my limit #should probably get back to EoSD Lunatic and PCB Phantasm

[do-you-know-this-adhd-character]

i am going to finish crisis core today. then i will immediately start replaying it because the platinum requires a hard mode playthrough and i want to plat it. and also bc i missed the goddamn shop in a gongaga chest somehow and it haunts me.

...then maybe i'll finally actually fill the queue instead of adding 2 more posts at midnight like i've been doing (stares at the little 1 next to my queue)

#not a poll #crisis core #i havent played crisis core the past 2 days bc i was tired after work #and wanted to devote my full energy to the final chapter #also i dont usually like action games but man that seems to have changed in the past couple years #had absolute BLASTS with god of war ragnarok: vallhalla #stranger of paradise #and now crisis core #to the point of wanting a hard mode playthrough?? #those who know me know i always play on easy #what happened to me. lmao #zack is worth it. my beloved gongaga #also play stranger of paradise its SO fucking underrated and it's FANTASTIC #i swear to god it's good you just gotta give it a chance #and the gameplay is fantastic #...hey beloved mutuals has my propagandizing sop exposed me to you

[victim9d]

also whomst will ship w me

#y'all know i love ships and these 3 r all so good 2 ship with #theyre each like their own difficulty level #easy mode is cassie hard mode is tate nightmare mode is cassius #but also nightmare mode is cassie #cassie is easy mode until u get serious and then discover all the horrors <3 #but she is easy in that she is pretty and nice and very lovable #tate is just a difficult man to deal w its the trauma #bc theres no world in which he and benji break up permanently which means benji never domesticated him and he is feral and insane #cassius is nightmare mode but only in the sense that he is very much the same as tate except w the added difficulty of #being scared of dating bc of being trans so hes really just like. hard mode new game plus u know #cassius and tate r both easier once u domesticate them a lil bit #cassie is worse when u domesticate her #there is no winning but also its all winning

#my art #sketch art #digital art #pf2e #pf2e art #dnd art #dnd bbeg #pf2e bbeg #bbeg #my wretched guy #my horrible nasty vulture man #OH also more facts about him!! #he has rapid regeneration and is Very Hard To Kill #an he can go goop mode too #he also has a keen sense of where the nearest featherfolk is at all times #which is rather inconvenient cuz the game setting is on a flying island with a lot of bird people #an he also specifically seeks featherfolk out to EAT NOMNOMNOM #which is even MORE inconvenient because the island has magical radiation thats slowly turnin the players into. bird people #so its gonna be kinda a race against the clock #figure out how ta stop em before he EATS u #if u have more questions i will happily lore dump i am mad autistic over this yo

One Way Dream (Ending Theme) - Sonic Frontiers (2022)

I’m a spark that won’t go out ✨

#sonic the hedgehog #sonic frontiers #sonic music #so i just finished watching a retrospective on sonic ending theme songs #and the creator made a critical mistake by saying only dear father plays during the hard mode ending #so after such an offense i began blasting this song everywhere #this is my favorite sonic ending song in over a decade #and it should be honored as one of the greatest vocal tracks this franchise ever gave us #also the fact this is confirmed to be a sonic team song #telling us they aren't going to stop anytime soon #if this is what the next decade of sonic will give us then sign me the fuck up #man this game did so many things right #i love it so much #gaming #video game music

feeling like a bona fide Gamer playing on HARD MODE and loving it on 3 different games now

#one is an accident two is a coincidence three is a pattern #first time was horizon zero dawn so i could get the platinum trophy and I GOT IT!!!!!! beloved game #then i started a hard save on hogwarts bc tbh it was just too easy and it just made sense to me that the slytherin would be hard mode #and now i'm playing spider-man🥰🥰🥰🥰🕸️❤️💙 love you pete you disaster

[chocogi]

me, a proseka player (used to play cytus): i like to think im a decent rhythm player!!

osu!: let me show you why you're not

#MAN I CANT EVEN SURVIVE IN HARD #thriving better in osu mania than in any of the other modes #dont take it the wrong way tho #im still dying halfway at hard LMFAOAOAOOAOA #osu #osu! game

[orcelito]

i think the fact that persona series & fire emblem series are two of my longest lasting interests that i still actively engage with. says something about me.

#speculation nation #right up there w/ naruto being another of my longest lasting interests #Bad Taste Alert except i kinda really enjoy my bad taste media #not my fault the fun video games are rife with misogyny #THO IN MY DEFENSE my fav fire emblem game is one of the best out there in that respect (echoes) #ive been thinking replaying it again after i finish engage. for the like.. 4th time... #im just genuinely so obsessed with this game i could play it for forever #man i just looked it up. i was hoping there'd be something harder than hard mode #bc i played hard mode for my last run. & like yea it was hard but i wanna be kept busy for even longer. i swear that game flies by so quick #really wanna play it............. might just bite the bullet and push for finishing engage rather than dilly dallying lol #im already super over leveled. and i only have like 2 more chapters left. i could finish tonight if i rly wanted to #probably wont. but i think. that i Will play another map lol
