Thanks you so much @teigo-the-explorer for the tag! This makes a good break from work and/or chapter writing!

PART ONE

Are you named after anyone: I am not! Though fam did intentionally choose a name that couldn’t be shortened to a nickname or rhymed with anything.

when was the last time you cried? Yesterday when I was editing a sad section of my TRT outline to make it MORE sad, RIP me and all of you when we hit that point

do you have kids? Nope and I’ve gone so far as to have my tubes incinerated

do you use sarcasm a lot: NEVER

what's the first thing you notice about people? Whether they have a dog. But if you mean on their person, usually if they have a cool shirt! Bodywise: eyes.

what's your eye colour: Blue-green!

scary movies or happy endings: I like them both but if I HAD to choose I’d go happy endings

any special talents: According to my woodcarving teacher, I’m excellent at carving! I managed to carve 5 projects in a week on my first go, including a couple of the more difficult projects he’d set out for more experienced carvers. FINALLY, A VISUAL ART I’M GOOD AT. I’m also really good at just eyeballing a wall and figuring out how a bunch of hung frames will look good without having to draw it out!

where were you born? Los Angeles! It’s one reason I chose it for Ciro and Jane’s history in TRT - it meant I had to do less research since I was familiar with the area. I already knew a lot of landmarks, geography, culture, weather/environment, and speech patterns.

what are your hobbies?: woodcarving, reading, writing, video games, cooking, traveling whenever I can, movies and tv!

have any pets?: I do! 3 cats, 1 dog, and 1 snake!

what sports do you play/have played?: Oh god I tried a lot of them and my skills are... very much elsewhere. When I was a kid I tried soccer (fast but bad at kicking), ballet (teacher told my parents I had a future in the performing arts, just not dance), baseball (can’t hit a ball to save my life). I did have some success with horseback riding though! I did some trail and a little barrel racing for about ten years, and it is by far the most advanced I ever got with a sport.

how tall are you?: 5′5-5′6 depending on my anxiety level

favourite subject in school?: English, I loved English class.

dream job?: Due to health problems I’m a little limited in what I can do. If I was healthy, zoologist/marine biologist. As I am, author!

PART TWO

first ship: Oh god, uuuuh let me think. Loosely was probably April x Casey in TMNT since that was my favorite movie as a kid. First active ship that I openly rooted for... maybe Rogue and Gambit from X-Men TAS, like damn I was a kid but I WANTED them together SO FUCKING BAD like why is she hooked on fucking Scott (i hated scott) when she has Gambit RIGHT THERE, RIGHT FUCKING THERE GIRL.

three ships: Since most everyone knows my Marvel ships, I’ll step outside it and go with - Troi x Worf (Star Trek: TNG), Cecil x Carlos (most wholesome ship ever courtesy Welcome to Nightvale), and Leslie Knope x Ben Wyatt (Parks and Recreation)

last (current) song: Flu Game by Fall Out Boy not me playing this album on loop since it came out last week

last movie: San Andreas, don’t judge me

currently reading: Re-reading Taggerung by Brian Jacques, which is my favorite Redwall book and the first Redwall book I ever picked up! I was at a book fair and came around a corner and saw this FUCKING BADASS PIRATE OTTER??? WITH A KNIFE??? AND TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS, IT WAS SO COOL I PICKED IT UP WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE SUMMARY CAUSE WHO CARES, PIRATE OTTER PIRATE OTTER TINY PASTA WANTS TO READ ABOUT PIRATE OTTERSSSSSSSS SERIOUSLY LOOK AT THIS COVER AND TELL ME YOU WOULDN’T READ THIS

currently watching: The Mandalorian, shiny space husband make brain go brrrrrr

currently consuming: Just water LOL

currently craving: SUNSHINE BUT IT IS CLOUDY

__________

I'm tagging

@wonderlandmind4 @shadeblade16 @intricate-melody @softasawhisper and anyone else who wants to do this!

#tag games #THIS WAS FUN I ENJOYED THIS #and some questions i haven't been asked yet!

dark souls isn’t hard, you just suck.

time to discuss definitions!

hard = requires an exorbitant amount of effort to succeed in

suck = refuses to put in the effort needed to succeed

dark souls requires a minimal amount of effort. you have to read, you have to look around, you have to listen, you have to press more than one button at once, you have to use your spatial reasoning skills, you have to accept that every single mistake you make is permanent, you have to remember shit, you have to prioritize exploration over boss fights, and you have to accept that you need to play through the game more than one times in order to see everything and get all of the content. these are all skills that anybody who has been playing RPGs from the last 35+ years should know by now, and if you haven’t played anything by squeenix, interplay, bioware, black isle, blizzard, any of the classics, THEN WHY PRAY TELL THE FUCK ARE YOU STARTING AT THE SIXTH INSTALLMENT OF A FRANCHISE KNOWN FOR BEING A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT THAN SKYRIM, THEN BEING SHOCKED THAT IT DIDNT GIVE YOU A FREE WIN???

yeah you have to put in a little bit of effort to learn the mechanics. obviously. you can’t fucking jump into starcraft multiplayer and then being like “wow this game is bullshit” because you have one marine out, 24 SCVs in your mineral line, 1200 minerals in the bank, 6 supply depots queued up, and then got swarmed by 12 zerglings at the 8 minute mark. you can’t fucking jump into minecraft hardcore and then be like “wow this game is bullshit” because you can’t kill three zombies with a wooden pickaxe. you can’t fucking jump into doom on ultraviolence and then be like “wow this game is bullshit” because you can’t move and shoot at the same time. learn to macro, learn to craft, learn to strafe, LEARN TO FUCKING MANAGE YOUR STAMINA.

every game has a learning curve, and dark souls is no exception. the PROBLEM is that if you approach dark souls like it’s skyrim or dynasty warriors or some other schlocky piece of garbage that requires no skill to just spam attacks, then yeah, you’re going to get your ass kicked. devil may cry came out and everyone said it was the hardest game ever. if you were alive and conscious in 2001 then you heard about how bullshit that scorpion fight was. and then ninja gaiden sigma came out and dethroned it. but now we look back on them as the precursors of the entire character action genre and now everyone loves bayonetta, god of war, metal gear rising, nier, no more heroes, okami, the world ends with you (cult classic though it may be), etc. and those games are actually tough as nails and require a lot of diligence to beat. dark souls? not so much. people are just too used to games coddling them, developers implementing systems such as Difficulty Adjustments and AI Mercy and allowing you to quicksave every five seconds just to save scum so you don’t have to drink a health potion and eat a cheese wheel every time you fuck up your stealth archery segment, and having the difficulty selection screen being “I’m a literal baby / I have played a video game before / I eat broken glass for breakfast” and all it changes is how much health that your enemies have. the 2000s were a weird decade for games. there was so so much good, then so so much mediocrity, and then so so much good again. technology advanced rapidly. we went from halo 1 to odst. and people got shittier at gaming.

74. Yagi World is giving me Baby Phat track suit popularity trend in the early 2000s.

75. Not being apart of anything going on with the NBA ALL STAR 2024 makes me feel like I’m not enough or haven’t done enough. Personally, I’ve been feeling both simultaneously for years & I think I’ve had enough. Im ready to let it all go & pivot to the nothing related to marketing, PR, communications, ……nothing. Im 31 going on 32. I’ve been working in this since I was in college around the age of 21. Altogether 10 years. I have nothing to show for & no more doors are opening. It’s just not in me or for me anymore. I quit.

76. I hope to be out of town All Star Weekend. I don’t even want to be in the city. Hell I hope to have moved out the city.

77. I think I’ve been fighting depression and it’s caught me.

78. Mental Healness on Tik Tok is a great guy. It’s refreshing to see a black male open up about his mental illness to help others. He is a diagnosed narcissist & has so many men & women in his comments who has narcissism that are getting help because of him.

79. Values over goals. Ex:. Instead of “I will work out 3-5x a week.” You will say “I value movement. I value being pain free in basic tasks such as walking. I value energy. I value an able body.”

80. I want to go on a cruise for NYE 2024.

81. Prostate cancer is on the rise due to low testing. Fellas start getting tested as early as 40.

82. Beyoncé - “Church Girl” should be played more often.

83. It takes one day to get married but a lifetime to stay married.

84. I got all y’all looking at my story to see this light chick with the big butt. With the amount of attention y’all ran to my story with, I don’t want to hear y’all say anything about chicks who get BBLS, wear make up, &/or brighten their skin. YALL LIKE THAT VISUAL! 🤷🏽‍♀��

85. I’m unfriending a lot of men when I get back on Facebook. If we not family, genuine friends, you’re not inspiring me, we not hunching, or making money together….then I don’t see the point of remaining Facebook friends.

86. I may be single but I ain’t out here physically fighting a significant other. 🙌🏽

87. Everyone should watch “Bao” & “Red panda” 🥹

88. I LOVE BEING AN AUNTIE!🥰

89. Stop having relationship conversations with people you’d never consider dating or that are not on the same wave length as you. You’re wasting your energy.

90. I feel some type of way about the “hot Cheetos girl” trend in Tik Tok.

91. RIP Grandma Holla 🙏🏾

92. Teaching kids to set boundaries, how to respect other people’s boundaries, & supporting them while they are practicing is important. It is also important for them to watch YOU set boundaries, respect other people’s boundaries, & see you receive support from your tribe.

93. “It’s clear that I’m not feeling you & you not feeling me. On the G, what comes after A? Just let that let that Nigga B.” - Freaky T

94. Sunday is not a rest day from the gym or from moving the body.

95. Go watch “Shadow In The Cloud” on Hulu.

96. I got new bras! 🎉

97. If they make you anxious when they’re around then they don’t need to be around. Id have to say that is one time I realize my anxiety was actually the way my body is telling me something is wrong.

98. 🔑 “Sometimes your point is in your silence.” - Megan Brooks

99. “High value but no core values.” 🚫👎🏽

Hi reyn, one quastion! If you don't mind sharing, what's your VSRG recommendation? I've mainly played osu!mania and while I love its accessibility and its community-created charts, I want to try something more curated. I don't mind either way if there are leaderboards/internet connectivity (it might be nice to not have to connect actually), and key count doesn't really matter to me—I've played 4k and 7k in osu. Are there any games on PC you think I should try? Thanks!

HI SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO ANSWR i lost the original essaypost so here is a slightly quicker and less thought out one

tl;dr djmax respect v and ez2on reboot r are good paid options, though they're sadly both always-online for some reason. musynx is a decent third, which iirc doesn't require an internet connection and is a fair bit cheaper even with the full dlc pack, but the timing window situation is ridiculous (normal greats being way too loose, and pgreats being genuinely inhumanly tight) so i hesitate to give it a full recommendation. more people should get into bms so check out bemuse.ninja for an in-browser bms player (free), or get beatoraja for an objectively better experience (also free)

more ramblings under the cut if you want to know my thots on each game individually (FLASHING LIGHT WARNING FOR ALL VIDEOS. They're youtube so they shouldnt autoplay but still)

DJMAX RESPECT V is probably the easiest rhythm game to recommend to anyone. it's got a good balance of difficulty (timing window is fairly wide, but not overly generous) and the soundtrack is really good. there are 4k, 5k, 6k, and an "8k" mode which is still 6 lanes but with two extra buttons (kinda like the fx notes in sdvx if you have any experience with that game), which all also involve this side-track mechanic (two extra buttons only used for holds at certain points in the song)

it also has a ladder match and competitive seasons, if youre into that sort of thing. ladder matches make me grind my teeth to dust they get so close sometimes but thats a skill issue on my part, they are fun. plus you can do open matches with your friends for something more casual and party game :) yay

downsides are it has to be online for it to run, theres a lot of songs locked behind paid dlc (although the dlc does go on sale fairly often, as does the base game), and there's a weird difficulty spike between regular charts (normal, hard, maximum) and sc charts (sc)- sc charts use a different scale nowadays but i guess just keep in mind that an sc1 is equivalent to like.... mx11ish, nothing lower. also theres NO EARLY/LATE DISPLAY!!!! i have no idea why they didnt include one!!!!

youtube

moderate/hard difficulty for reference

youtube

and a high-level sc chart if you wanna see how this game charts something difficult

EZ2ON REBOOT : R broke into my house and put my wrists in a saw trap and they never fully recovered from them. i will admit the main thing i have to say about this one is its like djmax but harder in just about every way. It also has 4k, 5k, and 6k modes, but their 8k mode actually has 8 lanes which makes it a lot more challenging. The timing window is also much tighter (a KOOL is about twice as tight as a MAX100%) and i might be making this up but i feel like the health drain is also a bit tougher. theres also a basic mode which widens the timing window if you want, but scores are saved separately.

there is no scaling difference between hard and super hard, which is a point in its favour, and the scale goes from 1-20 rather than 1-15 which means it can get a lot more granular. the charts can also get stupid hard, with a lot of stuff even in the 18~19 range making the highest-tier djmax sc charts look tame. its also charted in a different way which you can only really tell if youve played both games but like idk it feels a lot more arcadey.

theres online multiplayer in this one, but afaik they don't have the same competitive season thing as djmax does. you can do open lobbies though.

downsides are always online (again), song list is a bit more hit or miss imo but thats a personal taste thing, and its a lot harder to get into than something like djmax because the difficulty can get a bit silly sometimes

youtube

hard/moderate 8k chart

youtube

upper level 4k chart. one of very few 4k charts to be rated 20

MUSYNX can be a little bonus interlude here. The charting is mid and the timing window is stupid, but it's priced fairly and the soundtrack is fucking insane if you like bms. So many good licenses in there.

youtube

(spongebob pointing .png) look they have upshift i love upshift

as for BMS, i answered an ask about it here and I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU CHECK IT OUT...

tl;dr on bms, it's a community-led rhythm game with entirely original music created by and for the players. a lot of bms songs get licensed for other games (conflict is probably the most famous example), and they have yearly music contest events where a bunch of cool new music and videos and charts get released- its worth keeping up with those, even if you dont click with the game itself

you can try out some bms songs IN YOUR BROWSER RIGHT NOW on bemuse.ninja (although the player is a little janky imo), or check out the beatoraja english guide and set up beatoraja to play charts that way. beatoraja is what i use, and the player is super customisable with custom skins and stuff. i edited a little tbh creature as my lane cover :)

youtube

heres someone playing new york back raise which is a banger song with a banger music video and a banger lv11 chart which i cant clear yet

#i hope adding the vids to illustrate what the games look like helped rather than just added padding to the post lmao #also dont take my word as law on these games i know little except Button Funny and Song Good

Hello! and Welcome to this blog!

(sorry if the picture doesn't look good lol i suck at traditional art and i didn't have access to my digital medium for drawing at the time.)

This is a blog dedicated to an AU but not just any AU, its a blog dedicated to a phineas and ferb AU in particular like lets say maybe-possibly Phinbella couldn't happen some way in the episode Act your Age and Baljeet somehow ended up having a crush on phineas which led to them dating and hitting it off(and lets be hinest here they would totally work) and which then led to them starting a life of their own? Well this AU is here to explore just that!

And for the reasons being 1. I and some others ship Phinjeet. 2. I see waay too much phinbella in the fandom like im not even trying to hate on the ship or shippers it can just get tiring when a fandom ships and bases most ship content on just one ship plus just a few two others like e.g bujeet and perryschmirtz.

Now im trying to make this quick so let me speedily introduce everybody

1st batch of kids

(from left to right)

SOPHIE TJINDER FLYNN

A 14 year old girl who has a rather calm or in her own words chill personality. Like phineas she doesn't freak out even if bad stuff happens and tends to just stay calm and go with the flow. She's also pretty nice for the most part.Her favorite thing to do is performing stunts which rarely ever fail because she calculates them pretty well. Another one of her hobbies is reading Physics books and solving math and calculations. And surprise surprise shes also REALLY smart.

CJ (CANDACE JUNIOR) TJINDER FLYNN

Named after her aunt candace due to her having a similar head shape, being a red head and also having blue eyes. She is a 16 year old girl that rather freaks out a lot at the smallest of shit as she inherited that trait from baljeet. She is neat and organized plus has a lot of health problems since she was a child plus has a lot of allergies which includes dairy. She is extremely health and safety over-conscious, carries a sanitizer with her wherever she goes and refuses to go outside most times. Her hobby is reading sci-fi comics,playing video-games and watching scifi movies and cartoons. She is also very emotionally attached to her dads since childbirth due to her having health issues and having to stay by their side for a long time and spends most of her time with them even when they might oppose at times part of the reason why she refuses to leave the house. Her nickname is also Candy.

JASMINE TJINDER FLYNN

A 15 year old girl who has a- um how do i describe this? Like she acts like an edgy teenager kind of personality. She can sometime be a tad bit mean and is also goth as well and doesn't really express much emotions most times although she does still have her moments. Her hobby is writing stories and songs and she also enjoys listening to music and playing it.Her nickname is also Jazz.She is also a HUGE grammar nazi and will not hesitate to correct any grammatical mistakes anyone makes no matter the situation.And well yeah thats it...

2nd batch!

ANNABELLE TJINDER FLYNN

A rather aggressive girl for a 6 year old. She gets angry or frustrated very easily and when she does its really funny and cute because her cheeks puff up and her whole face turns to match the colour of her hair lol. She can also be sarcastic a lot of the time and a bit rude but is still nice. Her favorite activity is playing sports(any kind). She is also really well behaved and doesn't really go against rules apart for the occasional times where she breaks a couple stuff while playing sports. The twins also like purposely annoying her for shits and giggles.Her nicknames are Ann, Annie, Anna, Red, Firecracker.

LYNN AND MARILYN TJINDER FLYNN(THE TWINS)

The 10 year old twins are a handful thats for sure and they are pretty much basically reverse phineas and ferb in the sense that they usually fight(but still get along) and are always getting busted no matter how much they try to hide their messes. They can't build for shit but they still throw random stuff together as a result of inspiration from their dad and Uncle Ferb which usually ends in explosions or property destruction of some kind. They work as a duo and usually get into fights with either each other or Annabelle. They both have a lot of things in common especially the fact that they're both silly goof offs but they have parallel insterests like Lynn being a tomboy is more interested in "boyish stuff" as she would put it while Marilyn is interested with things she considers to be girly.

PHOEBE TJINDER FLYNN

A 5 year old girl that is rather odd to say the least. She talks A LOT which mostly includes infodumping people about the history of art or the life stories of some famous artists not forgetting to push her glasses up before doing so along the way. She is a huge fan of Leonardo Da Vinci and takes in Phineas's creativity. She is also a really nice and obedient girl who doesn't really cause trouble. She is frequently seen doing weird stuff all in the name of art like i dunno shit that phineas himself has done like maybe bringing in a gigantic baby head to supposedly use for her creations something like that.She also enjoys reading books about art or famous artists no matter how boring they may seem and she is also REALLY good at art for a 5 year old like im talkin she creates Da Vinci tier art.Her nickame is Pheebs.

God this is definately the most ''different" thing i've done thats for sure lol i don't even really expect to even get any questions at all but what the heck, its good to try am i right?

You're also free to ask me as the creator questions if you want.

I am now more than halfway done with The Chronicles of Myrtana: Archolos

I have nearly 100 hours of playtime and am in chapter 4/6, so here are my expanded thoughts on the game.

Someone else already posted a pretty good video examining several features of the game, although limited to the first chapter. I agree with most of the points in that video, which can be summarized as:

It truly feels like a professionally-made entry in the Gothic series of action RPGs (with all the traits that entails), with the same feel but including several quality of life improvements a couple of mechanical expansions, and incredible exploration, among other things.

However, the video also criticizes several points: The main story hook not being very motivating, too much “sub-questing” (which I actually like, I feel like it makes quests and the setting itself more complex when done well as it often is here), sometimes linear quest scripting, and so on.

I’ll try not to repeat anything in that video here, other than mentioning that the linear quest scripting gets worse at certain points, outright railroading the player in ways that feel very clumsy to me. This is really my main gripe with the game. Some aspects of it provide amazing levels of freedom while others are far more linear than they should be.

So here are other factors I think could be added to the list.

Positives

1. The quest design is generally good.

Many of the quests that start out sounding pretty straightforward can include things like multiple choices for what to do, and your options for which path to take typically have some kind of reasonable justification behind them (in contrast to, say, the quest to nuke Megaton in Fallout 3, where there’s not really that much of a good in-universe reason to do it).

Many quests also end up featuring various complications that make them a lot more interesting. Even the most basic quests also often feature some proper in-universe context for why they need to be done that help flesh out the world somewhat.

The following two examples include some early/mid-game spoilers.

[[Spoilers start here]]

In one quest for the city guard, you are instructed to concoct some rat poison and then head down into the sewers under the slums to use the poison on several rat nests, which they spawn rats for you to fight. You are doing this in order to prevent the spread of a plague.

On the surface, this sounds only slightly more complex than the most generic RPG quest ever: Kill some rats in a sewer.

However, as you are doing this you are soon approached by a suspicious man who doesn’t sound very hinged and who claims to be collecting samples. After some conversation, he might offer to take you to his workshop to ask you some questions that might aid his research.

From this point, you could refuse and report him to the guard immediately for a reward, but isn’t that too hasty? There might be something worth investigating in his workshop, and he hasn’t done anything that actually seems criminal yet...

(But it is pretty clear that he’s doing some dangerous biological weapon research).

If you choose to follow him to his secret laboratory, you can answer some questions he has about the rats and their behavior. Afterwards, it’s not difficult to loot the valuables in the place and further enrich yourself. On top of that, he becomes a pretty good alchemy vendor, selling some fabulously rare herbs that are required for potions that cause permanent stat improvements.

At this point, you can still choose to snitch on his hideout for a reward from the guard but this obviously comes at the cost of losing access to his services, but who knows what might happen to the city’s health if this is not done.

There is an even more interesting example in a separate quest, assigned to you by an employee of a wealthy moneylender in the city.

The largest vineyard in the island (which you probably have already visited by this point) is suffering from an ownership dispute between two brothers.

The older brother is Holdwig, who by the island’s laws and traditions has the rightful claim to the vineyard. Most of the workers also prefer him.

The younger brother Andreas is favored by your employer (one of the most influential people in the entire island) and is also much more intelligent. He makes the argument that under his more skilled management the employees would benefit more financially.

But there is more. You don’t simply choose one brother or the other. Both of them want you to do something illegal to undermine the other brother.

Holdwig wants you to dig up dirt on Andreas to blackmail or ruin him. Andreas wants you to mildly sabotage the vineyard to damage Holdwig’s reputation with the laborers. Neither of them comes off like an entirely good person.

So which one is it going to be?

What if I told you that, if you dig thoroughly enough, you can find a secret third way to complete the quest and reconcile the brothers but which also requires you to do something extremely illegal?

I really like this and wish more RPGs had quest design like that. When the game isn’t using cutscenes to railroad you, the quests are generally brilliant.

[[End of spoilers]]

2. The city is large, dense, and interesting.

In terms of RPG cities, Archolos is definitely one of the better ones primarily due to its density of content. Each of the city’s many recognizable districts is just full of named characters who have some kind of useful role (as opposed to just being nameless extras used to fill space, though there’s some of those too).

Additionally, the developers seem to have made some effort to provide direction. While the city is completely overwhelming at first the extremely recognizable districts, the noticeboards displaying maps, the fact that you can just buy marked city maps from some of the first people you see upon coming in, and the fact that there’s guide NPCs scattered around who are willing to take you to places for money means that it’s hard to actually get lost for very long in the city.

And, if you do even just a fifth of the many quests in the city, you will soon familiarize yourself with it as well.

The city also comes with a separate sewer map to explore, filled with dangerous monsters and hiding many secrets in its multiple levels.

3. Just the right amount of fast travel.

Fast travel is a tricky thing in large, open world games. Whether it’s “good” or “bad” comes down to the specific game and questions like “Is this world actually worth traversing on foot?”, “How often will the player need to pass through here uneventfully?”, “How big is this place?”, and so on.

The Gothic games had a simple but effective fast travel system. At various points in the game you could acquire teleportation runes that can be used at any time to return to a specific location tied to the rune. It will generally be a while before you obtain any of these runes, but once they start showing up all of the major locations will be covered before long.

Archolos retains teleportation runes, except now they can only be used at special teleportation circles (meaning you can’t just freely teleport out of any location).

But in return, there are significantly more fast travel options than before. At various populated locations you can find wagons that can instantly move you around for a small fee. In other locations, you can purchase an identical service to travel by sea to other coastal locations.

Both Archolos and the earlier Gothic games also feature temporary speed potions, which boost your movement speed dramatically and can be used to rush through the map if desired.

These things add up to make it really convenient to move from one extreme of the island to another while still keeping the experience immersive and reasonably barring fast travel in and out of dangerous and wild areas at least until you find a relevant teleportation rune and circle.

Negatives

1. Too many immortal NPCs.

This is a similar but separate problem to the railroading. If you encounter a named NPC that isn’t set up to be fought as part of some quest, chances are you won’t be able to hurt them if you try to fight them. Even NPCs that you do fight in quests tend to be invincible until the time comes.

This immediately removes a lot of options from the player and contributes to railroading.

Gothic 1 and 2 had their share of immortal NPCs as well, but this tended to be limited to characters of more vital importance.

Gothic 1 in particular gave you a lot of freedom to fight nearly anyone you wanted even if your only motivation was robbing them (as fits its setting, you were in a harsh prison colony after all).

But in Archolos, even a lot of the nameless NPCs are inexplicably invincible. This presents problems with the various quests where some kind of evil or injustice is happening and many players will be tempted to do something about it through basic gameplay, only to find that it doesn’t work at all.

2. The difficulty breaks too easily.

One of the defining characteristics of the Piranha Bytes design is the difficulty curve. In most of their games, you start practically from nothing. No items, no social status, and no knowledge of the world you have been thrust into.

The start of the game is often the hardest part. You are vulnerable, your attacks are clumsy, and you are easily defeated and tossed around by most people and monsters.

You need to be cautious and resourceful to overcome this and begin the journey to grow strong enough to survive. Since the game does not scale anything to your level, it is satisfying to measure your progress against the world and then do so again after you have grown not just mechanically but in terms of your skills with the combat system.

Archolos is set up with this idea in mind as well. You start as a young and scrawny refugee arriving in an unfamiliar country. For most of the game’s first two chapters this progression actually holds very well too.

However, if you are thorough while exploring and doing side quests, the game will probably start feeling too easy by the time you reach chapter 3. I can say from experience that it is possible to have a master-level combat skill, all hunting training, at least 3 maxed non-combat skills, tons of HP, some magic ability, and over 150 effective strength by that point.

Gothic 2 (with the expansion) was particularly good at delaying this kind of excessive power gain, pacing it around the game’s gradual introduction of more challenging enemies more carefully. By the time I was in chapter 2 of that game, I still needed to sneak around several parts of the world (particularly in the Valley of Mines) because unless you abuse some cheesier tools even basic orcs are still formidable enemies at that point, and the worst was yet to come too.

3. The journal is sometimes too helpful.

Most of the time the journal is fine. It notes things you have learned and where to go next. It has separate entries for each quest, and an entire tab dedicated to cataloguing non-quest information you encounter (such as blacksmithing recipes, lists of traders and trainers, teleportation circles you can access, and so on).

The problem is that sometimes the journal goes on to suggest things that the player may not have heard or considered previously, often because the writing slipped in introducing these ideas.

The worst example I remember right now happens when you need to get information out of a man to progress the main quest. He refuses to tell you anything and it seems as if you have reached a dead end.

However, if you open your journal, you will find the protagonist has actually come up with a plan to craft a poison, make the dude take it, and then extort the information out of him by promising the antidote.

As far as I could tell, nothing outside the journal suggests this course of action at that point. While it makes sense that the protagonist would write what he thinks should be done next here, I feel like the journal should not be the only place where you can learn such things beyond just blindly stumbling onto your next objective.

Fortunately events that bad were extremely rare but I still felt like the journal was often more specific about what to do next than the actual clues and hints I gathered had been.

On some level I understand why it’s like this. It can help less observant or driven players continue quests more easily. However, the increased guidance can also somewhat spoil the fun of figuring things out and there are some cases where the trade-off gets unbalanced.

Neutral

1. The game is more mundane.

The Gothic series has always been relatively grounded and immersive, however the games still heavily featured the supernatural.

In Gothic 1 the main antagonist is a demon worshipped by a mystic cult. In Gothic 2 it’s dragons in service of the god of darkness and death, and you have a divine destiny as the chosen champion of the fire god. One of your most helpful allies is a necromancer who regularly employs demons. The magical barrier surrounding the prison colony is one of the major details that define the setting of the first two games, with the consequences of its destruction at the end of the first game shaping much of what happens in the second.

In other words, you are frequently engaging with the setting’s more impressive fantasy elements.

In contrast, Archolos takes the realistic approach even further and heavily features conflicts between humans and human factions, as opposed to battles between humans and supernatural beings.

Or at least this has been the case so far, that could change in the game’s second half but so far it seems to be building towards a social conflict tearing the city apart instead.

Most of the problems you encounter in the game have to do with these conflicts and how they seem to be escalating as the situation on the island worsens. A lot of the quests are morally gray, many of the institutions and factions on the island are corrupt and decaying, and a growing movement of impoverished and resentful townsfolk seems to be about to make a move as the city’s power centers attempt to suppress it.

Some people prefer stories with more prominent supernatural elements like magic or dragons. While I wouldn’t say that more human conflicts are objectively better than that myself, they have a different sort of appeal that seems completely appropriate for the type of game this is. They can also end up feeling more real when properly explored in a setting rich enough to do that.

Anyway, having played this game for about 97 hours now (longer than the full length of many other RPGs) I still strongly recommend it, especially for people who liked Gothic 1 and 2. The game does have its railroads but more than 90% of it is very open, with branching paths and top tier exploration.

4/6/15

I found this note from 9 years ago. Huge trigger warning ⚠️

Saving this in my lil online journal to remind myself how far I have come in my mental health journey.

Continue reading at your own detriment.

I constantly wake up and wonder why. why i am so lucky every single fucking day. My mind is a hurricane going straight for a radiation plant conveniently located to a large city filled of hopeless people waiting for their demise. my emotions are like a menopausal woman's a/c unit. hot and cold. cold and hot. i want to run. far away from everything that reminds me of the shit person i have become, start anew. yet i want to stay...locked in my room with all the candy and video games a gamer could want. and just one sharp blade. a large bottle of motrin. maybe a gun would do it. i certainly couldn’t hang myself. i like the thought of a gun. to have whatever is left inside of my hollow emotionless body sprayed across the walls and ceilings. it could be my final painting i ever paint. a red painting of pain.

i say these terrible things to myself and i wonder. why do i have these tendencies? why do i want to die as soon as i am bestowed with the gift of life when i wake up from another sleepless night filled with tears and denial and regret and pain and hate. and yet i feel as though my days are like a sunny rainy day. have you ever been somewhere where its sunny with barely any clouds but it’s still raining? thats how i would describe my life right now.

i love my life and everything in it. my mom dad brother all love me. i have great friends also. i have 2 dogs that are my life. i am young and “healthy”. why isn’t this enough for me. why do i want this? why do i want this all to go away?

i am not afraid of death. is that why i wish it upon myself? is it because i cant handle living in fucked up society anymore? living to work, working to live? that is not the life i want. unfortunately that is the only thing anybody can do in this life. not so bad if you do what you love for the rest of your life right? but what do i love? i am such a wildfire and i am not consistent. only when it comes to anime but in other things in life i cannot seem to grasp something that keeps me grounded. that is why i am scared to try hard drugs cause i know for sure i would be hooked. same reason why i dont gamble. i love drinking too much and i dont tell anyone that.

i smile everyday and laugh. when really i want to scream so fucking hard my lungs fall out of my throat and i cant breathe anymore. every time i drive my truck i do a small prayer a drunk driver kills me. sometimes i drive super fast and take my belt off and close my eyes then take my hands off the wheel. sometimes i put the blade to my skin but people will notice so i just do a small one when really i want to know how it feels to be stabbed in the heart. i know i have done it to many unfortunate souls that have seen some kind of light in my eyes. sometimes i put a handful of pills in my mouth.

i wonder if im fucked up like this because of my past. my cousin raped me when i was young. i was like 3 or 4. i was too young to know what he was doing was bad. so he did it for awhile then it stopped. now i am fucked up in bed. i like it crazy. but deep down i don’t enjoy sex. it doesn’t feel good to me. but rather i enjoy the act of taking each others clothes and being bad. maybe thats my problem i enjoy being bad. but i know thats not it because i’ve never stolen anything in my life ha.

so what is it? why do you hate yourself so much that you want to die? i’m coo coo thats for damn sure. what i really need is to be locked up in a hospital so i don’t hurt anyone else. but hospitals give me horrible anxiety and the shrinks are just snitches with degrees and nice clothing. wolves in sheep clothing thats all they are. one of my shrinks wanted to send me to rehab. another one was turning me against my family, he sucked. if i ever go to a mental house i will definitely kill myself. or i will turn into all the people there. sometimes i feel like i belong there though because i don’t feel much of anything anymore just sadness. i am crazy on the outside but i am a normal moody 20 year old.

maybe i should do something bad so i can go to jail the rest of my life and be a loser. then piss off some lady named dorris and have her shank me with a plastic fork. yeah i’ve thought about that path can you tell? ‘damn’ you must be thinking. ‘what the fuck is wrong this girl’. i have no fucking idea and i wish i did.

my mom was such an amazing parent to me and i didn’t fucking deserve any of it. i don’t deserve it. i don’t deserve all the love that is given to me. at all. i don’t deserve anything, thinking these thoughts. i wake up and cry because i still exist. i cry because i hate myself. i cry because i’m so fucking worthless. i am such a piece of shit and i know it. i have more fucking issues than vogue. if i don’t kill myself now i will eventually do it. before i start to get wrinkles joint pain and go deaf i will.

i’m so fucking selfish to think these thoughts and praying to die when my mom is fighting for her life. she might have cancer again and she does not deserve this sentence. i am selfish for wishing i had it so i could die and finally leave this ugly universe. and all she wants to do is live. then i really hate myself for that and the cycle continues. and its like this everyday. i don’t know what to do anymore with myself i am so far lost i am beyond wandering or exploring. i am about to jump into the deep end and i will not know if i will make it out this time. i only stay alive for the sake of those around me unfortunately.

GAMING ADDICTION

The bulk of our lives has undoubtedly been influenced by video games, whether as a form of entertainment or a hobby. A video game is a digital interactive toy played on a computer, a console (such as the Xbox or PlayStation), a phone, or a tablet. Video games did me a number; I grew up too focused on playing games example is Crossfire. Crossfire is an FPS game that is only played via computer. Playing the game crossfire is so much fun especially when you're with your friends.

I didn't focus on establishing friends as I was growing up since I was too busy playing games, but that doesn't mean I don't now. I ultimately made pals who share my interest in the same things. While I was made fun of for playing games to win the attention of boys, I didn't really give it any mind because gaming is the only thing that keeps me occupied when the world is attempting to treat me badly. I became increasingly addicted to playing video games as the years passed. I get into a habit of buying skins that I like, a habit I can't break. Consider the video game Crossfire. The default character is a guy, and because a man's body is bulkier and more subject to damage than a woman's, I decided to purchase a character of a woman with my own money. This also happens in the mobile game called Mobile Legends with their skins. And with the game Genshin Impact.

It's possible for video games to be good or terrible. Anyone can train their minds to come up with original solutions to riddles and other challenges during brief periods by playing video games, which are frequently the cause for reasoning and problem-solving abilities. Playing video games has been demonstrated to help young people acquire literacy skills, boost their self-esteem in their reading abilities, promote innovative thinking in writing, support healthy relationships with close companions, enhance understanding, and support mental wellbeing. With a positive, there’s also a negative. Gaming industry can be toxic, kids might pick up some bad behavior or words and sometimes be the reason why a person is violent. A person becomes socially isolated if they play video games too much. Additionally, he might spend less time on other pursuits like reading, athletics, playing with the family and friends, and finishing his homework.

We are able to stop gaming addiction. Make careful to complete whatever jobs you have in advance. learned to set boundaries. In order to address any mental problems that might be causing the addiction, we can also seek expert assistance through therapy or counseling.

I chose this topic for my blog because as a person who likes to play games, I suffer from it too. I tend to neglect something and sometimes it’s becoming the reason my I isolate myself from reality. When it comes to perspective, Gaming is okay but make sure to put limits into it, gaming is both bad and good. This blog will help readers know that gaming can be something positive and negative. Gaming can help you think effectively and fast but it can also be a result of mental health conditions.

An individual's life may suffer as a result of the growing problem of video game addiction. While there are many possible reasons why people become addicted to video games, there are many different ways to treat this addiction and enhance general wellbeing. People can take advantage of the advantages of video games without developing an addiction by being aware of the hazards and adopting proactive measures to address the problem.

6 Ways For Helping Children In Coping With Stress

Unfortunately, even with our best efforts to shield children from the stress-inducing aspects of life, they may still have to go through it. Sometimes it’s personal fears; sometimes it’s just the competitiveness around them. Many young people — especially teens — feel pressure to find their place in the world. With so much happening around them, especially after the pandemic, they might feel lost and confused. This can result in stress, which may adversely affect their physical and mental health.

Though good grades are important, the stress some students feel about getting them may set them up for a lifetime of harmful effects. Many CBSE affiliated schools in India are taking a proactive approach to help students learn how to manage stress and teaching them relaxation and breathing techniques. Finding a way to alleviate stress can lessen its negative effects on your child’s health.

Young children might not know how to verbalize their feelings of stress. Some warning signs of stress are behaviors that you would not typically expect from the person but which happen when they are feeling stressed. If you notice it early, you can put in useful tips on stress management for kids and teens.

1)Take Time Out Together.

Whether it’s just one day a week or once every couple of weeks, make sure that you spend some quality time with your child. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy; even just sitting on the couch watching cartoons together can be enough to help your child relax and recharge.

2) Discuss What’s Happening in Their Lives.

Your kids may not want to tell you everything going on at school or with other friends, but try asking open-ended questions about what’s going on in their lives instead of asking specific questions that can be answered with a simple “yes” or “no.”

3) Make Sure They’re Getting Enough Sleep.

It’s tempting to let kids stay up later when there are things going on at home, but it’s not good for them. If you have an older teen who is busy with homework, make sure they get enough sleep so that they don’t fall behind.

4) Induce Hobbies

Help your kids find healthy ways to deal with stress before it starts to get out of control. Encourage them to listen to music, develop good reading habits, or play a game as a way to relax after school, for instance.

5) Regulate Their Screen Time.

We know that many parents struggle with this one. But there’s a reason why we have rules about how much time your children can spend watching TV or playing video games: too much time in front of screens can make children feel more stressed, not less. The same goes for social media, which is often used as a way to escape from real-world problems instead of dealing with them. So try to limit screen time to 30 minutes or less per day, and encourage your kids to use that time for doing something fun instead of just staring at the screen!

6) Teach Your Kids to Take Charge.

“I’m stuck” isn’t an excuse — it’s an opportunity! Encourage your children to take charge of whatever situation they find themselves in and learn how they can solve problems on their own so they don’t have to rely on someone else all the time. This will help them develop self-confidence and independence — which will make them feel less stressed when faced with new challenges later on down the road!

Stress and depression can be a big problem for students, so it’s important that they know the various ways to combat them. Your role as a parent or guardian is very important in helping your child get past difficulty days — just talking about it with them and providing support can go along way.
