#true mind games at play

[deathishauntedbyhumans]

“I got into bg3 so i could romance astarion” “i got into bg3 so i could romance karlach” all well and good however. i got into bg3 bc i saw a clip of the mind flayer sex scene and decided i wanted me some of that. we are not the same.

#‘you can fuck a mind flayer in this game’ well why didn’t you LEAD with that #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #this is 100% true btw #well that and the draw of being able to make one of my dnd characters that i wanted to play as jskfjskfjsj #wade talks #the emperor

I think it's funny how the narrator basically asks you, before choosing to sign or not Raphael's contract, who do you trust more: The Emperor or Raphael, the devil himself.

And, honestly? I have no reason to trust the Emperor more than I trust Raphael.

Because give it or take, Raphael has been more honest about his shit than the Emperor. The first time you meet him, he shows you he's a devil. He kept his part of the deal after we killed the orthon, and even now, he straight up tells us what he's going to use the crown for.

The Emperor, however, has been lying to us since the begining. Like, him lying about his identity was a HUGE no no for me. I "understand" that he didn't want to scares us due to being a mind flayer, but at that point in game (when he shows his true self), we've already met Omelumm, who is a mind flayer but who tried to help us. Also, his instance on the "eat this tadpole, embrace your powers" is very iffy to me cause like dude i'm not doing it. Like you already lied about your true identity, why should I trust you with this bullshit?

Also, since I'm comparing the Emperor to Omelumm, I might as well compare Raphael to the other devil who is out there offering deals: Mizora. Mizora lies, adds shit that only makes Wyll's life harder. We have every reason not to trust Mizora, beyond the fact that she's a devil (which, i'm not gonna lie, i feel like a reason there's such a push against raphael's deal is bc he is a devil and y'know how religion messes with that But anyways, i'm not gonna get into that).

The Emperor looks worse in comparison to Omelumm, but Raphael looks better in comparison to Mizora, is basically what i'm trying to get here.

Also also, if you talk with Korilla, she legit says that Raphael's a good boss, treats her better than a FREAKING GOD did. Like, honestly, I (and i really only mean I,me,myself) up until this point in the game have no freaking reason to not trust Raphael. Like, ffs, he didn't even ask for my soul in exchange.

Anyways, this is MY opinion, MY thoughts on the choice my character has done.

#making very clear that i don't care if you disagree with me or not #don't try to change my mind #anyways #raphael bg3 #i have a big big big trouble with emperor's lies #AND ALSO HIS LACK OF FUCKING PRIVACY #LIKE RAPHAEL LITERALLY SHUT HIM OFF #AND YOU THINK IM SIDING WITH CAN'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER SO I'LL PROBE YOUR MIND? #NO #F OFF #also someone said that the whole HoH is basically to justify killing raphael #and honestly that feels so true #also i brought up the religious aspect #bc i have friends who play the game who ignore all the context the game gives #and go i cant trust a devil just cus #and i respect that but also ugh

oh yeah did i ever tell you guys i 100%'ed triple deluxe

#kirby series #in all seriousness i'm simply too bad at drum dash to ever actually 100% the game #in my heart though i've done it. i beat the fucking true arena legit no save states or nothing. “96% complete” my ass. #*beams you with my mind* oughhhh you wanna go download citra and play the 3ds titles ohh you wanna do that sooo bad #it's really cool to be able to play them in higher resolution. only problem is emulating the motion controls. #i spent sixty dollars on a dualshock 4 so i could ✨enhance my gameplay✨ w/ motion controls lol #.. some day i wanna try remapping air ride so i can play with tilt controls.

This is the last thing I'm probably gonna say on Palworld for a while but look

listen.

I'm just begging people to give this thread a look and stop being in denial.

Drawing inspiration from the same concept is one thing, but more-or-less tracing a model and barely tweaking it is a whole other kettle. I'm not going to bat for Nintendo here, because at the end of the day no matter what happens I doubt Palworld will put a dent in Pokemon's profits.

I just want people to stop harping on the fucking sheep and sending death threats to the devs. Make your case but for fuck's sake make it well and don't threaten to kill someone over it. The fuck is wrong with y'all??

#lot of ''art theft/AI is bad unless it's happening to someone I don't like'' happening lately #please don't say that like you think it could never happen to someone or something you actually DO care about #this can't be a good precedent to set #it WILL backfire #anyway #like I said #I actually want Palworld to succeed but not if the AI accusations are true #and not with stolen assets #my mind is open and willing to be changed #because #again #I actually really want to play this game #but I'm not going to unless there's solid proof against the AI accusations #and the fakemon theft accusations #and the straight up whole ass stolen/traced assets thing is sorted #*dox babbles

crazy how people on here will start fights and be rude to people half their age over like idk supernatural and then when someone points out “hey btw you’re 30 years old arguing about this” they’ll start weeping and being like oh so i can’t have interests because i’m 30 you’re saying i’m an old hag you’re saying you want me dead 😭😭💔 like no girlie…….they’re saying why are you 30 with the emotional maturity of a preteen

#this is such bat at hornets nest activities but it’s TRUE #when that person freaked out at me over the quarry and called me an immature baby because i said i didn’t like a ship and i said you’re 31 #i had so many people being like ‘OH THEYRE 31 SO THEY CANT PLAY VIDEO GAMES?’ #no obviously i’m saying they’re 31 so they shouldn’t be losing their absolute mind over a video game

[amazinlei]

Today I’m thinking about him and ONLY him

My heart is so full for this little guy... toon bendy believers are having an absolute PARTY and I’m popping the champagne with our littlest guest of honor!!!!!  Bendy only gets apple juice and graham crackers because he’s a baby.

#IT'S BEEN A DAY AND MY MIND IS FINALLY PROCESSING THIS GAME IS REAL AND IM ACTUALLY... EXCITED??? #do I dare get my hopes up??? #I know something terrible is gonna happen and if it does I'll cry Bendy has been my comfort character for like. 5 years and he's perfect!!!! #I feel like crying tears of joy this bendy is everything!!!! #he's got A LITTLE SUIT!!! HE'S PLAYING WITH A CHOO COO TRAIN #I won't mind if he's the ink demon for real since I'm into little guys who are fucked up X'D #plus if it turns out he only gets big and feral when his new mama is in trouble I'll take this puppet to court THAT WAS MY IDEA /j #though real talk if it's true bendy has a VA this time and it turns out to be gross peepaw joey or henry instead of just a little girl voice #like we heard at the end of chapter 5 of this unseen little girl asking for another story #which kinda started my AU so long ago in the first place of giving Joey a grandniece #but if it turns out Bendy sounds like Joey I'm going to YEET meatly to the moon #NO MORE HOEY DREW 2K22 #WE ONLY SUPPORT IMPERFECT TOONS AND INK DEMONS HERE #but Audrey is growing on me her design is so good!!! #also malice... Hi. *twirls hair and kicks legs while sitting down* #my one concern here is.... WHERE TF IS SAMMY???? #THAT BETTER NOT HAVE BEEN MR. MUSIC MAN LYNCHED TO THE WALL #Lei stop being Silly #Bendy The Dancing Demon #Bendy And The Dark Revival

so i'll tell the story of the death of a man named stanley. and stanley died again. and stanley died again. and stanley died again. and sta- stanley- and i tried again. and stanley pushed a button. and i tried again. and stanley pushed a button. and i tried again. and st-

#the stanley parable #look this ending is so. the only reason i only played through it once and never again is cause it tore my heart out. #it's such a fucking amazing ending. like i said i only played it once. but these words have been echoing in my mind ever since. #they're BOTH stuck. do you understand. stanley may be repeating the same actions over and over #but the narrator is repeating the same dull words. he acts like he's above stanley but they're just two pawns in the same game. #every so often my brain just thinks of '...while i tell the story of the DEATH of a man named stanley' and his tone #that makes you think he really doesn't want to be telling that story. not just because he doesn't want stanley to die #but because it's so cheap. because he knows it's not true. stanley will be back again as soon as the player recovers emotionally #and restarts. nothing can last in their world. it's all for our amusement.

It's a little funny when I thought about it more but the reason I don't think of white palace theme (and godhome ost) as much as other soundtracks seems to be that my the sounds of sawblades are engraved into my memory along with it as that's how I listened to it the most: by being stuck on platforming sections for too long, by waiting for hiveblood to regenerate, by standing for awhile to refocus my mental strength on the damn stuff that was trying to kill me without knowing how long the place is...

Funny how this experience is affecting how I like an honestly very beautiful soundtrack. Anyway screw white palace

#sky rambles #i kid i don't hate it but what i said above is true #i can HEAR the freaking buzzsaws in my head when the soundtrack is playing in my mind #godhome is mainly due to second hand experience and not my own #pretty soundtrack but game wise it's part i was least invested in for a good while

Kuai "Stealer of Clothes" Liang

mimic thoughts tonight oooughhhgh

#thinking about. what if maybe gregory was his favourite if only bc hes his favourite disguise #as a robot built to copy other people (and whos original target was another. albeit younger kid) #it makes SENSE to me he would like pretending to BE a kid #and he gets to play arcade games…… and he gets to have awesome friends at school….. and ok sure maybe a few people had to die for this…… #ghhgghhgghhgg #this is all built off of. to me the mimic is a creature of instinct and not of true malice #so he finds a life he gets comfortable in. and ofc he’s gonna stick himself there! sorry gregory! #DOES ANY OF THIS MAKE SENSE… #idk if ill do anything about this idea but its been rotating in my mind for a bit #alsoalso #aaauughhg idk if ive gone into my mimic hc here before but i am insane about him #radio rambles

Look at these lyrics oh my god?

I feel your breath upon my neck A soft caress as cold as death I didn't know you well back then I blame it all on luck and bane Your blood like wine I wanted in But darling, get me drunk and make me feel It's not my fault I'm not to blame These ain't my sins I broke my chains There's more to do And I still want to live. I feel your breath Upon my neck A soft caress As cold as death I feel your heart Beat in my soul Our futures bound Our bodies known Your blood like wine I wanted in Oh darling get me drunk and bite me It's not my fault I'm not to blame These ain't my sins I broke my chains There's more to do If I can only live I can't go yet Don't let me die I'll never stop Until I'm done But just tonight Maybe I'll rest in peace 

I feel your breath Upon my neck A soft caress As cold as death I hear your heart Beat in my soul Our endings bound Our bodies known I can't go yet Don't let me die I want to live My only one There's more to do If we can only live The clock won't stop And this is what we get

(lyrics source x)

#i didn't believe it was true so i loaded my game and climbed up behind astarion's tent #and this song LEGITIMATELY STARTED PLAYING #i feel like i'm losing my mind #why does astarion get a special hidden song and no one else does? #for what reason? #these lyrics i'm going to throw up #i'm clutching your shoulders until i draw blood #i'm shaking you #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #astarion #i want to live #i'm feeling so normal #so so so so normal

Larian on twitter telling someone "no kissing between durge and Gortash" LMFAO

#bg3 tag #durgetash is best played in the mind palace tbh #good ship tease #people need to learn to use their imagination #but like the official account coming out with the rolled up newspaper like #WHACK WHACK STOP ASKING #is funny #then again this fandom has a chronic problem of pulling expectations out of their ass #and then going surprised pikachu meme when they dont come true #some people make demands of larian like theyre ordering a burger at mcdonalds #like please #also the jokes about bg3 being a live service game #i really do hope larian moves on to their new IPs #so people can have one final fandom wank about all the things we didnt get #and the dust can settle #so i can enjoy the game again

I still feel like one of the biggest misconceptions about homestuck is that the kids starting to play sburb is what causes the meteors and in turn the destruction of earth. As in if they simply hadn't played the game everything would have just continued on as normal.

#idk i just still see people explaining homestuck like four kids play a game and it ends the world #which is technically true but #the world would have ended whether they played or not #and don't get me wrong i know most fans knows this #it's fine you can ignore me i've just been thinking about it recently #homestuck #don't mind me

still thinking about the fact that what happened to mc in the chapter 19 house of mirrors scene with lincoln would be tagged as "inappropriate/improper use of the power" if it were an ao3 fic

also thinking about the fact i still haven't encountered any fics with that tag

yet

#wtf type of stupid shit am i posting nowadays 😭 #it's the ao3 isn't it #i guess it is true that going on that site alters one's mind #playchoices #play choices #choices stories you play #choices stories we play #choices game #pixelberry #pb #pb choices #choices it lives #it lives series #it lives anthology #it lives within #ils #ilw #lincoln mcquoid #lincoln aquino #lincoln x mc #suggestive ish

you know in terms of the whole body image journey thing, it has been a HUGE relief to be TOLD by my doctor that it was a good thing I gained weight. She was like girl you WERE lighter in high school and that wasn't..... a good thing (paraphrased.... my doctor does not talk like this lol). You're a healthy weight now and I want you to maintain this. Do NOT try to lose any more weight. And I was like okay that's actually......... that really helps, actually. First of all being told to my face that I don't have to lose weight but also that I shouldn't be focusing on going back to what I looked like in high school. It really helped with realising that I should be focusing more on whether or not my body is healthy and functioning and strong.

#also really good to know that i apparently have a strong core >:) #it is easy to play comparison games with my model cousins and my (uni days) model mother but we aren't put on earth for THAT ish! #i'm here to dance and sing and to ilsten to the birds and to write and to read and to laugh with my friends until my stomach hurts #and none of those things requires me to starve myself or to over obsess about things that are in the end a waste of time #say something true and beautiful songbird!!! #anyway it is a GOOD thing to eat good food and to exercise in a way that makes your body and heart and mind happy #and it is a good thing to exist in the body God gave you and to take care of it without beating it up for not being another body #slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in year 21
