#viddy games tho am i right

[redraccoondog]

Robin (who is of course my mother-in-law in Stardew Valley) was my secret gift giver for the Feast of the Winter Star this year and this absolute legend of a pixelated MIL gifted me 25 hardwood. I literally laughed out loud. Like how on-brand for her, she knows there isn't time to play. The two of us carry this town 😒

#maybe this is what she always does but it's still hilarious #stardew valley #sdv #stardew valley robin #feast of the winter star #not the dad joke rauru #viddy games tho am i right

hmm.. I think I headcanon you as not much of a video game person?? this could just be a fact I've learned somehow and forgot but you also just have the vibes of someone who would rather get lost throwing pottery or something rather than playing a viddy game. (if you did play video games tho I feel like you'd play things like. civilization or roller coaster tycoon or farm simulators like stardew valley or something.. or you'd go absolutely CRAAAZZYY at some tetris maybe)

jules hihi!!

I am not a huge video game person! this is mostly due to the guardrails of having only a laptop & lacking the fundamental skills for any kind of combat system (in art as in life, as the saying goes). as a kid I was not allowed video games w/the reasoning that they would hurt my grades. this seemed very unjust, even when I regularly went to friend's houses and played the sims for six hours straight

anyways then as an adult i did date a video game person. i saw them playing xcom 2 and said "what the fuck is that" and then i played a whole campaign start to finish on their computer in three days straight. this is also how i got into ck2 - (never played civ but you're spot on with the ant farm style / life and society simulators hahaha. does anyone remember spore??) - and i used to regularly play it in like. weeklong fevered bouts. anyways my mom was totally right but because of her stupid foresight i never got controller skills when my brain was young and plastic and now i'm permanently bad at mario kart. and fall into holes when i try to move the camera and walk at the same time when my roommate lets me take a turn at elden ring. i'm hopeless but it's wholesome fun for everyone

(send me your headcanons)

#asks #about me #your headcanons #other gamer gloam anecdotes include: #being introduced as an early twenties something to dark souls for a laugh at my expense #joke was on him though bc i got startled by a dragon and screamed and we had to stop bc it was late and he didn't want to wake flatmates #didn't even have a chance to die in it #anyways then we played uh #that spooky green one #also super fun #anyways video games are rad but i do not have the functional impulse control skills to not just get immersed in a kid-on-summer-vacation wa #every time hahaha #or the controller control skills

Thursday again: viddy game London edition. Still.

I would have had this out yesterday except for this and that and the apartment building being evacuated for a fire alarm. No harm done that I am aware of, happily.

Listening

It's the Sunless Sea theme song. It makes me happy.

And since I do not have the three hundred sixty five dollars with which to bribe KUNV into letting me play guest DJ with the Casey Kasem soundalike, I'll just have to inflict this on you guys instead :)

Reading

Every so often I check in on the debris from former hyperfixations, such as The Best Beekeeping Blog on the web. Here's an interesting write up of why seedballs are A. Cool and punk, and B. sadly don't work that well

Visiting

Fallow. I'm about to spend a bucketload at one of the fanciest restaurants in Vegas, after all.

Eating

A half dozen eggs are three dollars at my Trader Joe's, so I made meatloaf with oatmeal and diced swiss. Forgot the ketchup but added it just before the end.

Writing

It stuck.

Tasted all right tho.

Did some work on the original novel thing. Go me.

Playing

Fallen London Fallen London Fallen London no I can't shut up about it. sorry.

I've got to do forty lab experiments before I start laying railway track. You have to have board meetings in realtime once a week. Long term commitment ahead. We're talking months here.

And since I am, like, pathologically terrible at setting long term goals (my impulse is always to Do The Thing ASAP), this is...well. Different.

Kind of nice.

#thursday again #bye bye ne

[phoebehalliwell]

Oh ok what do you think of a season 7 AU where one of the girls decides that the only way to defeat Zankou is to to romance him like this is an otome game (or taking a page out of their ancestor’s love with the love spell) which sister do you think would do it? 😂

this is so funny bc they did literally pitch it in the show itself piper and phoebe did

Piper: Wasn't there a confidence spell in the Book of Shadows? Phoebe: Yeah. Remember we cast it on that waiter at Quake? Piper: Wow, Quake. That was a long time ago. Maybe we should cast it on ourselves. We could use a little confidence. Phoebe: Yeah, but that won't piss off Zankou. Piper: No, but it might help us get the Book back. Phoebe: What if we switched bodies with him instead? Piper: Can't. He'd be in Magic School. Phoebe: Ooh, right. How about a love spell? We could make him fall for one of us. Piper: (chuckles) Sorry. I'm taken. Phoebe: Yeah, well, I'm not. Piper: Yeah, but you're not that desperate ... are you? Phoebe: Well, those demons do have a way of keeping you warm at night. Piper: Yeah, but that's only because they have fireballs.

which like the text seems to imply they’d be going phoebe for phoebe but like. i am an out and proud piper/zankou shipper idk why but man they just have It like you either get it or you don’t like.... so yeah i’d be going for piper idk we’ll go for a pleo divorce era au or idk leo didn’t come back when the avatars nixed him (and zankou Was the one to help them defeat the avatars so hmm.... like....... idk... maybe a soft moment of mild comfort for piper with her grief but ths undercurrent like don’t trust me bc i will go back to my side and you will go back to yours but i will mourn with you in this moment ooohuuhuu....) Anyways. my favorite little. trope? i don’t think i can call it that bc it doesn’t really happen that much is. you cast a love spell. but then the person still acts the same way. and its like ohhhhh wait. oh wait!! nothign changed. bc they are experiencing zero new emotions. ehehehehhehe

au where they all get launched into an otome game tho lmao.... i feel like they should each get launched into their own viddy game like phoebe gets some kind of lara croft shit but the lesson to be learned there is love is not what she needs she needs self confidence paige i want an alien au bc she’d serve. her lesson is regards to family and how she does actually want to start her own one day (somethign we would have already established as a fear of hers.) (also henry is lready there bc i said so.) but piper gets thrown into like a dating sim like sry ur husband died baby but love is still out there featuring dateables like mark, dan, fireman greg, um... season one josh, manticore baby daddy derek. and then zankou. and piper’s like whoa what is he doing here!!! and zankou is like i don’t know i think we’ve been knocked into a parallel universe or something who are all the dudes and piper’s like oh thank god. oh thank god. i thought you were part of the dating sim. anyways, piper’s trying to figure out how to win and zankou’s just there observing offering sarcastic commentary here and there there’s a moment where he’s like oh no i know this one he’s in your diary and piper’s like you read my diary??? and zankou’s just like yeah lol. anyways. reveal zankou is half witch that’s why he gets human emotions so well and also why the source imprisoned him. one of His past lovers from like 1000ad shows up and we kinda get the skinny on him and learn that he’s a hopeless romantic too oohohooohooo..... anyways. they exit the game when they kiss. <3

How do you deal with infohazards? I've been thinking too much about Ziz stuff lately.

Hmmm

Ziz in particular is just not shaped the right way to wriggle into my brain; I find her views sort of obviously ridiculous and facile in ways that leave me basically immune to the brainworms. So I’m not sure I’m likely to be a great help combatting that particular brand of scrupulosity. If there’s one thing that helps me sleep especially calmly at night despite knowing about sinceriously.fyi it is that the rationale for accepting its version of “timeless decision theory” in the first place are intuitions about cases, and the alleged consequences of this theory clash against much more robust pre-theoretical intuitions than any I might have about newcomb problems (tho I think I might be 2-boxer anyway)

More generally… if you are antecedently convinced of their falseness, just Logging Off in both body and soul is probably a wise idea. I know that “touch grass” is sort of deployed as a thought-terminating cliche but it often really is just harder to care about some weirdo’s Theories when you are taking a walk or playing viddy games or watching anime or learning mathematics or otherwise redirecting yourself from the cursed discourse. Ofc none of this is infallible and the advice is pretty trite but it’s the best antidote I can suggest. “I dine, I play a game of backgammon, I converse, and am merry with my friends. And when, after three or four hours' amusement, I would return to these speculations, they appear so cold, and strained, and ridiculous, that I cannot find in my heart to enter into them any farther.”

I find that carefully formulating arguments against hazardous brainworms like Ziz’ is often less productive than you might expect bc the presentation is structured in such a way as to make any objection appear as though it is missing the point, and simultaneously rejects terms of debate different from the ones it proposes as laughably naive while treating the use of its own terms of debate as more or less an implicit acceptance of its entire framework (which is ofc presented as only possible to accept in toto; rejecting the esoteric motte means also rejecting the truistic bailey). To the Zizian, ofc, this indisputability-by-design is just an expression of the ineluctability of truth, but it’s perfectly possible to pull this trick with nonsense too. You’re playing against a rigged setup, and you should not expect loss or victory to carry the evidence for or against your opponent they would on an even playing field in the clear light of day

[gamesyoushouldbeplaying]

Listen i know its cool or whatever to have a post-apocolypse/dystopia where evil is everywhere even if it hasn't "won" persay (Think like fallout 4 or most of bioshock) and it definately makes for an easier game mechanic/plotline to have the peaceful/good places in neatly defined regions but like

I really want to see a game with examples of good surviving. Like a church that is never attacked and has a congregation of anyone who can walk to it or a bookmaking guild that is never attacked because what jackass wants to destroy books for no reason or a red cross like wandering medical team that treats anyone they come across or artisans who travel to teach as much as to trade

If youre going to show me the darkest parts of humanity you can think up I'd apreciate it if you'd show me the brightest

#i hope this makes sense im a lil tipsy #my limbs feel like they do right after a massage #video games #dystopia #give me complex open world games or give me death #viddy gaem #i am not sober enough for this #im not drunk tho #gaming #i bet donut county would be fun drunk #i speak

also kirby’s [pride preparations] seemed to be pretty popular!

it’s a long one this time!

on [road trip]:

@littlemousejelly said: oh the universal Displaced Smol Feeling. doesn't matter how tall you are you look at a menu like this. doesn't matter how old you are being on a roadtrip means you feel like you're nowhere and everywhere and that's OKAY

@thebreakfastgod said: in 8th grade i went on a roadtrip in the week long break for Thanksgiving. on Thursday we were driving home but didnt make it back until Friday, so that Thursday we had Thanksgiving at McDonalds somewhere out in Kansas. we had actual thanksgiving the next day with my brother. this drawing is so cute n it reminded me of this :)

@nikuknight said: so cute!! and yeah this experience is universal I think ^^ relatable

@indigowallbreaker said: this was me last Sunday, what a feeling

@sortofabetaiguess said: this is probably what i’m gonna be like. actually if my queue works this is probably what i /am/ like. #not twilight

oh I didn’t expect to get road trip stories out of this post but it’s wonderful that I did, I’m glad so many of you can relate XD (also I had to keep the “#not twilight” tag because there’s just something delightful about my kirby making it to a twilight blog.)

@salted15 said: ohmygoodness !!!!! them hamds !!!!! they full !!!!!!! blessed

@toastycharmander​ said: 🥺 imma be honest i wish i could sit with friends and watch them play video games like this, just seems so nice. i’d probably end up as the blue kirby at some point tho

man, same. someday we will all get to sit with our friends again and/or make good friends to sit with.

on [incognito]:

@gingersducksandbubbles​ said: the brows remind me of the cinnamon toast crunch meme. either way, adorable until proven innocent and even then still adorable. yes im aware of what the last tag says. its the law duh

the crime he was wanted for was being adorable! there is no escaping that! (also I don’t think I’d seen that meme before, drawing angry eyebrows on things is just almost always funny huh)

on [hat]:

@dragonsandmollusks​ said: baseball hats or whatever this type of hat is called are way too hard to draw

ugh, they really are. especially in lineless art! (altho the person who said they’re putting this one in the art ref folder is funny XD )

Thank you kirby!

I like this interpretation too! just trying to play innocent after stealing a snack. :>

@neurokinetics said: my sweet gay child

you are all correct! kirby is gay, kirby supports gays (and the whole lgbtqia+ community! all of us!), and kirby thinks all the pretty pride flag colors are very neat. :>

@drummajor-isyourbandready said: this is the only pride post I'll reblog probably. look at this fella

ohh a high honor! thank you :> (although of course if you find other stuff also worth sharing that’s a good thing too!)

@kiwi-lynx said: Ok, I’m obsessed with your drawings THEY ARE JUST SO CUTE 🥰🏳️‍🌈

@pizza-equals-poetry said: op this is beautiful

#asks #thank you me darlin #sonyalone #long post

[endwalkr]

this is an ask based thingy but im really in the mood to infodump so im just gonna answer them all under the cut !

Favorite video game?

starting off with the absolute hardest question huh? i can’t possibly name ONE favorite game of mine because i adore my favorites for many different reasons. my overall favorite video game is ffxv or botw. ffxv because it has brought me so much joy for such a long time, and because i have such a connection with the characters. botw because i was actually in the fandom when it first got announced in 2016 so i got to be there when the hype was at an all time high– and finally being able to play the game after waiting for so long was an unforgettable experience. i have more favorite games but ill talk more about them in the ‘’special place in ur heart’’ question.

First console you owned?

my first console wasn’t a console. my friend and i used to play on her nintendo dsi all the time and at one point tiny little me reeeally wanted one of my own so i saved up and got one in [redacted] when i was 7. my first actual console was a wii though, we got that around the same time.

A game that holds a special place in your heart?

ffxv and botw mean the absolute world to me, but super mario galaxy and skyward sword are very important to me too. skyward sword is the game that got me into zelda which got me into anime which got me into final fantasy etc etc etc.  super mario galaxy was the first non-mini game collection and more adventure story-ish game i played. i was so proud when i beat it for the first time and mario was my first ever ‘’fandom’’ :’) 

Favorite video game character?

bro. i cant pick just one so i’ll choose one per game : prompto, ryuji and link. they were all my comfort characters at some point and i projected like crazy onto them. this doesnt mean that i wouldnt absolutely die for noct or zelda. 

Least favorite video game character?

i dont think theres anyone i distinctly dislike? i always talk about hating ardyn but that’s because he’s just a salty bitch. as a character i think he’s a great villain and i rly love him. i honestly always end up liking everyone somehow, maybe there is someone i just forgot about but i cant remember at all. 

Favorite genre?

adventure games, or action rpgs. 

Video game character you’ve had a crush on?

every character ever, but i distinctly remember the moment i fell in love with prompto sjghfkshd i was watching a playthrough of xv in december 2016 because i didnt have a ps4, and the guy got to the scene in galdin quay where the bros learn insomnia fell. i had watched about 6 hours of the game by that time and wasn’t particularly interested in the characters but not uninterested enough to drop it. i hadnt even gotten a good look at the characters faces yet, so when the camera zoomed in on prompto when he said ‘’might not be save for us here!’’ i noticed he had freckles. oh god. oh fuck. oh my god hes fucking cute. oh my god better watch 30 hours of this game now

First video game you remember playing?

wayyy before i got my own gaming systems, my then-best friend had a gamecube in her attic. i was around 5 or 6 at the time. whenever i was over at her house and we didnt know what to do, she’d sometimes propose to play ‘’mario kart’’. important is that we are dutch, and i was a literal child. i thought mario KART meant it was a fucking card game, so i always declined whenever she asked. on one fateful day, i finally gave in and was pleasantly surprised it was in fact not a card game, but a viddy game. so we played mario kart double dash. (…i had never played a video game in my life besides browser flash games and was Very Very bad)

Age you started gaming?

so i played my first video game that i didnt own when i was about 5 or 6. then i got my first supply of games at age 7/8, but i dont really consider that time to be when i started ‘’gaming’’. i’d say that was when i started mario galaxy, so i’ve been playing video games for real (ie. story adventure games with boss battles) for about 6 years now.

Hardest video game you’ve played?

this is gonna sound stupid, but the witcher 3. there’s like 7 difficulties and i played on the EASIEST and still had a hard time, i just couldnt get used to the combat. i had the same problem with assassin’s creed syndicate, but after about 10 hours i actually knew what i was doing, and ive played the witcher longer than that and still am clueless. this is kind of an unpopular opinion but i dont particularly like that game

Video game you’ve spent the most time on?

i guess i am what you’d call a casual gamer; i really like video games but during a normal school week i only game for like 2-6 hours. most of the time i dont play for like 2 weeks if im busy. gaming has kind of taken over my life not because i play so much but because i get so emotionally invested lol i’m currently on summer break and even now im not playing a lot because of exhaustion and executive dysfunction. this derailed slightly but the game i’ve played the most despite my casual gamer status is …. … …. ffxv. surprise, right? the runner up is botw, but xv wins by a landslide. 630+ hours. botw is 350. my main save in ffxv is almost 200 hours i think. damn. i really managed to keep myself entertained with that game… (………i was thinking recently, since the loading screens in xv are so long, how much of this total amount was spent watching screens. i imagine it’s several hours, especially if you fast travel a lot.)

Most embarrassing gaming moment?

many moments in my gaming experience are embarrassing, but a more recent one: i was in xv’s postgame, beating some dungeons on my new save file. i had just finished daurell caverns and hadn’t saved in about 2 hours. (uh oh) i was driving around in the regalia type d and got to the big cliff near lestallum, and remembered someone made a gif of jumping in there so i wanted to try it too. i imagined the game would just put me back on the road, like it does when you crash into something. except it didnt. i got a game over. where was my last save? 2 hours back all the way in hammerhead. yippee.

Scariest video game you’ve played?

i never play horror games, cuz for me games are supposed to be relaxing experiences. no hate towards horror games of course, they just stress me out. the only time ive played horror is when friday the 13th was for free on ps+, and my friends really wanted to play it. (theyre kinda addicted to it now. huh) they had already gotten over the initial fear of having jason chase you, but i was still terrified. i can play the game without getting scared now tho. the horror sound effects just rly freaked me out at first jhsdkghsd

Most memorable gaming moment?

playing breath of the wild for the first time, or beating it for the first time. both experiences were filled to the brim with excitement and nostalgia. seeing botw as a blank slate, a world for you to explore, having no idea where you’re going… that was pretty incredible. now i know every nook and cranny of the map, so i wish i could play it for the first time again. i was so incredibly immersed. beating it was insane. i cried for 30 minutes and the end wasnt even sad, i was just so amazed at the fact that i was really here, playing breath of the wild, it was really real. the fucking main theme in the background (which i cannot for the life of me listen to without crying) didnt help with my emotions sgkdjh

Video game character you wish you could meet in real life?

…………..its prompto again. maybe 2017 me …. was .. kind of a kinnie

PC, Xbox, Playstation, or Nintendo?

i dont care about console wars at all, but i think hardware-wise, pc is the best, because if you have a good pc you can basically do anything. i however do not, so i just play on consoles. ive never particularly liked xbox, so i only play ps4 and nintendo. not the switch though. its kinda petty, but my best friend and i really dont like the switch djghks

Gaming company you’re most loyal to?

none. i used to call myself a nintendo nerd (oh my god…. i m. gonna die) in like 2015 but since the switch came out and since i got a ps4 they kinda lost me. i still like their game series of course, but as a company i don’t care for them. the only reason i see square enix as one of ‘’my’’ gaming companies is because ffxv took up like 70% of my gaming experience, but besides final fantasy i don’t really love them too much either.

If you could only play one video game for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

atm i’m really into ffxiv because theres just so much to do, but that’s just a new, possibly temporary interest. if i had to choose, i’d say botw. maybe i’d say ffxv, but i feel like running around doing nothing in that game isnt very fun, because the world is sorta empty after completing every quest and getting to level 120. in botw, just fucking around on your horse is still really relaxing and nice. 

Do you use strategy guides?

yup. in certain games i try to avoid them but i usually end up stuck or in need of advice. i couldn’t have gotten so many p5 trophies if not for the internet lol

How often do you use cheats?

never, simply because the games i play often do not have cheats. unless im playing the sims and are in need of a motherlode, i dont use them.

Competitive or single player?

single player. im bad at video games and like to do stuff at my own pace. online multiplayer can be fun every now and then in games like mario kart 8 or splatoon, and i also like teamwork stuff like ffxiv or comrades. but ultimately, i prefer playing on my own.

Video game character you want to/have cosplayed?

have never cosplayed, dont have plans to either, but it would be fun to cosplay link. omg. i just remembered i have that fucking chocomoogle shirt… sorry link im gonna slap on some sasuke hair, black jeans and ugly sneakers 

Ever go to a video game convention?

i have not, i have however gone to three (3) video game concerts which is basically the same thing. 

Hardest boss fight you’ve been in?

the hardest bosses for me are usually the ones with a gimmick. you have to use a certain item or tactic to beat them or something. other hard fights for me are when you fight someone with a similar skill set. (in ffxv, this happens twice, once with the iggy-noct sparring match and once against ardyn. somehow, the final boss was easier than getting the prince to eat vegetables.) i don’t know an actual example of THE hardest boss fight ive been in though. at the time, the first bowser battle in mario galaxy was the hardest thing in the universe and i got stuck for like a month. currently, i’m having trouble with the riku-ansem fight in kh1. 

Video game you wish you could burn from your memory?

the zelda cdi games? no, i dont really know. i dont hate a game so much that i’d want to forget about it altogether, but i dont exactly love ocarina of time that much. it hasnt aged well and playing it on the gamecube for the first time in 2015 wasnt a good idea. im sure it was revolutionary at the time, but i cant handle the outdated controls gsdgksjs 

Favorite gaming series?

see, i love ffxv itself more than the entirety of the zelda series, but i dont love ff as a SERIES more than the zelda games. so if were talking series, zelda for sure. i fucking love those games and they mean a lot to me. 

Do you skip tutorials, or find them useful?

i often skip them because i cant pay attention, but then find that i need them anyway. so i usually do skim through them. 

Best online gaming experience?

one really good one happened a few days ago in ffxiv, some guy and i exchanged emotes for like 30 minutes and it ended with us becoming friends on psn :’) ppl dont usually emote back at me in that game so this was really wholesome and nice gjshksdj 

Worst online gaming experience?

i dont really have a worst? theyre more annoying. think try harders in gta online killing you 15 times in a row because they want to show you how good they are or something. magically, online gaming hasnt been too hard on me (mainly because i dont game online that much)

Why do you game?

it brings me joy. it’s a fun way of relaxing, while being stimulated at the same time. games have meant a great deal to me the past 6 years and i wouldnt want to lose them for the world.
