I feel kinda sad that Starfield seems to have crashed because I really did like the "NASA-punk" thing they had going on. Unfortunately it was not only boring but every part of the game has a cutscene. It's crazy. Instead of flying through endless space it feels like you're flying through Star Wars transition shots.

Like most nerds I've also dreamed up about my perfect space game and something I knew even before writing a single line of code is that you can't have a space game if you don't pilot the ship. The space aventure fantasy, as unrealistic it might be, is about being like A Guy who sits on a cockpit and flies from planet to planet. If you're not gonna have that at least commit to realism and have you be a passenger in other ships, like a Star Trek officer, you don't pilot the ship but you do Trek the Stars. But letting you have a personal ship and NOT letting you pilot it from surface to orbit is nonsense.

In fact, Bethesda could have done something unique. The holy grail of space games is to let you seamlessly depart from a planet, fly around and land anywhere. Even if the planets were mostly empty, it would be so cool to fly around icy moons or vast oceans. No Man's Sky lets you do that. There is nothing more relaxing that flying around in No Man's Sky. Bethesda had all the resources in the world but instead they made Fast Travel Sky. See this is why FTL methods are your most important sci-fi worldbuilding choice.

#cosas mias #I curse my computer that lags with No Man's Sky #because it's truly a fantastic game and while popular it deserves to be more known than stuff like Minecraft #it's a really great game

GOD VS GOD-COMPLEX

"For I am the One,

The True Source of Light;

Greater than a mere star,

and the most Honored.

Brighter than the Sun,

if not the Sun Himself,

I am to become."

another impromptu verses to accompany the drawing ⎯⎯⎯ while it might have started with good intentions, I believe that Resh's ultimate goal was likely to overthrow Megabird and take her place as the source of Light, as he judged that her light was weakening. he comes to believe that he is the only one from who emanates the Light, and who gives life to the Kingdom. Basically that nothing could live or prosper without his existence.

Can you tell I have an obsession? Eh? Okay

Chapter 27: The Holy Lament & The Good Night Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death Additional Tags: Linked Universe (Legend of Zelda), Alternate Universe, Character Study, War, world building, Trauma, Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Political Intrigue, Found Family, Angst and Humor, Warriors is a very complicated person, Warriors also does not know Time is Mask, Warriors (Linked Universe)-centric, Canon-Typical Violence, Heavy Angst, Manipulation, Morally Ambiguous Character, Please read content warnings before each chapter, Abuse, Emotional/Psychological Abuse, Physical Abuse, Implied Sexual Content, Power Imbalance, Implied/Referenced Torture, Blood and Injury, Disabled Character, Dead Dove: Do Not Eat Summary: “You are going to hear a lot of terrible things about me. Most of it is going to be true.” Being the hero who saved Hyrule from a bloody war was a thankless job that left Warriors with more regrets than he cared to remember. He only started to heal after meeting his fellow heroes from across time and joining them on their quest to defeat the black-blooded monsters. But when his time-hopping journey takes him back home, he finds his kingdom on the brink of war once more. This war threatens to ensnare not only Warriors, but his newfound family as well. Warriors will do whatever it takes to keep them safe, even if that means becoming a traitor to the kingdom he gave up everything to save. But the harder Warriors works to protect his family, the more the secrets of his dark past come to life. Who is Captain Link Walton, the Hero of Warriors? What happened to the two other heroes he had once fought alongside all those years ago? When this is over, will Warriors even have a family left to save or is he doomed to repeat his past mistakes? (Once, there were three brothers: the captain, the engineer, and the child. Their story did not have a happy ending.)

If I didn't force myself to post this now, I don't think I ever will. I have not been so nervous about a chapter in a very long time.

Does that bode well for me? No. But I will march on nonetheless. Insert joke about this chapter is already over half a million words long and all the rights it gives me to do whatever the hell I want at this point.

In this chapter of--and I cannot stress this enough--my incredibly niche fanfiction:

Link has a fun night out on what is totally not the Hylian equivalent of Halloween

Ganondorf is here, and you know what that means! Keeping Up With the Harkinians is back!

And... uh... what I can only describe as the stupidest decision I have ever made (yay)

Here's some cover art for @saturdaysky's dark and compelling character study, poisoning the well, in which Caleb receives a Sending from Trent Ikithon while the travelling through Aeor with Essek and the rest of the Mighty Nein. If you enjoyed their other works Rare Gift or fulcrum, check this out! As always, mind the tags.

A few stills below the cut; I like the middle one as a nice visually balanced cover:

#sky that fic is so eerie and fantastic #i hope you enjoy my attempt to illustrate it!#i still have mostly an enemies-to-enemies relationship with CSP animator #but we came to an understanding #and I'm very pleased with the results!#i did try to animate the water ripples too at one point but I had to give up - but I think the stillness contrasts well with the words #you win this time CSP animator #cw: flashing #flashing #(just in case)#ariadne draws cr #caleb widogast #shadowgast #essek thelyss #fic recs #critical role #c2 #op #fanart

have you talked about fern leaf yet by any chance? i love her a lot :3

Fern Leaf's one of the few things that's enjoyable about those last two books lmaoo, but the thing that ended up happening was that BB!DOTC got MASSIVELY overhauled. It's the arc I'm not honoring fully; and a big part of that is making the main books JUST be about the formation of the Clans.

It's what I wish the arc had been. Watching the actual dawn of the Clans happening before your eyes. Seeing how the naming system, the customs, deputyship, and the groups themselves came into existence. BB!DOTC is about the period BEFORE the Clans are officially formed.

So to do that, instead of the First Battle happening in Book 3, it's now in the LAST book. THAT is the moment when the Clans are officially formed. Slash has been cut completely. One Eye is now the major antagonist of Thunderstar's follow-up SE.

Aaaaand Fern Leaf is kind of up in the air because of that. I could just shuffle her in as a member of one of the proto-clans, but she feels too special for that, you get me? It's why I haven't talked about her too much, PLUS Milkweed, who is another cat who owns my entire heart.

I'm hoping that when I get deeper in the re-read I get some more ideas... I have a bit of a fixin' to maybe steal some of the Slash drama and give it over to BB!Clear Sky. He has the range.

#Better bones au #BB!DOTC #Something about writing BB!Sky is just absolutely fantastic. He's like a disney villain #For the record though I am actually writing from a very real place for him though #I jest that he's a monster but I do have an emotional core to this character lmao #In canon he's a deadringer of a person I know. It's literally like reading their texts sometimes.#So in BB I just let him be more played up

almost a full year after its release and i gotta say. i think my biggest tears of the kingdom hottake is that i still love it just as much a year later

#if it came out closer to the time of bg3's release it could've had a VERY serious shot at goty. hell it did already #yeah it's just botw again. yeah a lot of the added gameplay stuff is pretty much just unnecessary clutter #yeah the depths and sky islands are pretty empty overall and yeah the story continues to be ramshackle as hell #but god. tears of the kingdom man. i cannot lie and say it is not a fantastic game #yin-thoughts

slash did disrespect the dead but at least he's not leaving the bodies out to rot like a spectacle for all to see. HORRENDOUSLY low bar, i know, but ... eugh

Like... he left Misty's corpse out there for at least a day, maybe longer. Wind Runner and Gorse HAPPENED to find it, and that lead to the Bumble death scene. Clear Sky disrespecting the dead was a relevant plot point.

But the team doesn't remember their own books so they've just totally forgotten that!

#The thing i keep circling back around to is how PAINFUL it is that they cannot have villains with nuance #You're either Evil or Misguided #Slash is a BORING villain. He's flat and one note. So badly written that I hope they are ashamed of themselves #Clear Sky is what real monsters and abusers ACT LIKE #He's a FANTASTIC villain. He's absolutely terrifying in how he is forever framing himself as a victim #He forces the world to move and calls its screams of pain an injustice to his heroic heart #But the erins swoon at it and buy his justifications wholesale #The 'redemption' was just EXONERATION #APOLOGIA #And it ruins him. Makes him the absolute worst character ever put to pen in this series imo #Dotc hate

video games need to stop straight up telling me things abt the story. i rarely ever want a solid answer in a game that i'm playing ever. stop giving me story beats that i don't have to work for. stop rewarding me for not thinking after not giving me enough time to think.

give me lore morsels out of chronological order. give me unreliable narrators. give me shuffled perspectives. blur the lines between protagonist and antagonist and between past and present. give me confusing as fuck plot elements and force me to put the pieces together with my own bare hands or die trying. cryptic story lovers rise up.

#yes hollow/knight changed my life and im gonna be annoying about it forever. yes i played it like four years ago. doesn't change the fact.#it wasn't FANTASTIC but i just finished dredge recently and i had so much fun with it. love that it barely tells you anything #and the stuff it does tell you either isn't helpful at all bc the npcs don't even know or you don't really even know if you can believe it #because. the npcs are insane. its fun #game design #i guess? idk im just talking @ the sky here

I know this isn't part of the prompts thing technically, but I was wondering about your opinion on this:

Ordonian Folktales: The Tale of the Stáblad & the Twisted Capaill

It's just a folktale I thought up to try & flesh out the culture of Ordon a bit is all.

I'd really like to see something on Twilight telling the story to the other Links, but again I understand if you don't. Perhaps with Twilight as the blorbo & horseshoes as the item if you're willing to stretch the prompt a bit?

If all I can get is your opinion/critique on it or even just a polite, "sorry, not doing it." Then, I'm more than okay with that.

So, yeah. If you're not feeling up for it, that's fine.

Twilight watched Warriors take an all too eager swig from his flask. He ignored it once, twice, thrice as he scraped some caked in mud out of his Epona's horseshoes. Then he noted, "You know, there's a tale in Ordon about a stable boy who liked to drink too much."

Warriors glanced at him in profile, eyes simultaneously teasing and curious. "Oh? Are you going to impart some country wisdom on me?"

Sky burst out laughing, his cheeks far too flushed. "But you two only got Courage from the Triforce!"

Twilight gingerly reached over and plucked the bottle out of Sky's hands. "That's definitely enough for you."

Time sipped his own flask slowly. "Go on, rancher."

Watching Warriors in particular, Twilight explained, "A stable boy used to steal moonshine from his boss. Never owned up to it, always enjoying getting drunk and having fun. One day he had to hide the stash from his boss, and he panicked, dunking it into the water trough. The boss' prized horse drank it and started to dance."

"Dancing horses is fun!" Wind piped in.

"Yeah, but she fell and broke her legs. They had to put her down to end her suffering." Twilight continued.

Wild's head shot up. "I don't like this story."

Warriors sighed. "Yes, yes, slovenly drunkenness is bad. We all can see the lesson here."

"The stable boy didn't own up to it, though," Twilight continued. "So the horse god punished him by turning him into a horse."

Sky hummed, eyes wide with wonder. "I want to turn into a loftwing."

Twilight laughed, reaching over and pulling the younger hero to him in a side hug. "You're a mess."

"Stuck as a horse forever, huh," Legend yawned, laying on his back and stargazing. "Kind of a nice amount of freedom to that."

"Oh, no, it doesn't end there," Twilight continued. "The next stable boy had the same vice and made the same mistake. When the first boy drank out of the trough, he danced and broke his legs as well. But he confessed his crimes before they could put him down, and for that he was transformed back."

Warriors finished off his drink, leaning against a rock. "Well. For starters. I wouldn't steal alcohol. I can just buy it."

Hyrule barked out a laugh. Twilight rolled his eyes.
