I’ve been playing Dragon Quest 8 again and no achievement has provided me with such joy as what I just managed.
Killing a Metal King Slime with normal damage.
No critical hit. No Instakill effect.
Just hitting it enough that it died

ok so. i named my character Tavzee which ABSOLUTELY dates this game and what era of my life it was in. be nice to me i was a kid ok </3
artie never finished this game lol. hes kinda still in mid-early game i think? he also doesnt remember what hes doing in here. i think hes planning to restart his save file or make a new one.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
oh fuck yeah gravity falls. it was arties first big tv show hyperfixation and were thinking of rewatching it soon :) also when you select the game on the ds menu it plays the last few seconds of the opening theme which is cool. also holy shit we havent played this since 2016 so i started a new save file to preserve that one. i know 12yo artie had a lot of fun with this game :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
interior design is my passion. artie named his character after an old name for one of his ocs which dates this massively lmao. what also dates this is the old lesbian and aro flag in the custom designs. also peep the transhet flag he made. we really loved this game

クリアしたゲーム/2022-9月
26. ドラゴンクエストVIII 空と海と大地と呪われし姫君(2015) Nintendo 3DS
Tumblr media
購入日:2022年8月3日 3,289円 ※セール価格 クリアした日:2022年9月1日
元はPS2で2004年に発売されていて、ドット絵ではない初の3D視点のドラクエでした。
当時、グラフィックも綺麗で新しいドラクエにわくわくしながら始めましたが…クソザコ三半規管持ちな為3D酔いがひどく、ドルマゲスを倒したあたりでやめてしまっていたはず。
一昨年あたりに昔途中でやめたゲームを集中的にやっていましたが、このドラクエ8もいつかやりたいなあと思っていました。
なかなか中古価格が下がらず、PS2はご臨終になり…3DS版をフルプライスで買うか悩んでいたところ、3DSのeショップの閉店セール的なので半額になっており衝動買いしてしまいました。
3DSになって追加されたのは新しい仲間と声優によるフルボイスと追加ダンジョン、追加イベントや3DSのスクショ機能を利用した写真クエストなど。
とりあえず一回普通にクリアしてから、追加ダンジョンをやってミーティアとの結婚ENDを見れたので満足しました。ふつうに感動しちゃった。
気が向いたらゼシカと結婚ENDもやってみようかな。

The Great British Blorbo Off Begins Shortly....
Thanks everyone for waiting so patiently while I take my time sorting this all out! I'm pleased to announce that I've decided on everyone that will be in the tournament, and we will be starting next Monday (16th)! So, here's how it's going to work:
There are 128 characters overall, and I have split them into 4 brackets with two rounds each.
I will be posting 8 polls (1 round) a week, and will reblog them in the middle of the week and at the end of the week.

Winner becomes the new queen of England <3

If you've submitted a character from a book then I will just be using the front cover of the book they're from as their image, so let me know if there's a TV/film version or certain cover you'd like!

Tales From Elsewhere

La Parque et l’ange de la Mort/The Park and the Angel of Death by Gustave Moreau
Eldorado
Gaily bedight, A gallant knight, In sunshine and in shadow, Had journeyed long, Singing a song, In search of Eldorado.
But he grew old— This knight so bold— And o’er his heart a shadow Fell as he found No spot of ground That looked like Eldorado.
And, as his strength Failed him at length, He met a pilgrim shadow— ‘Shadow,’ said he, ‘Where can it be— This land of Eldorado?’
‘Over the Mountains Of the Moon, Down the Valley of the Shadow, Ride, boldly ride,’ The shade replied, ‘If you seek for Eldorado!’
—Edgar Allen Poe

La Palme by Odilon Redon
Elaine
Oh, come again to Astolat! I will not ask you to be kind. And you may go when you will go, And I will stay behind.
I will not say how dear you are, Or ask you if you hold me dear, Or trouble you with things for you The way I did last year.
So still the orchard, Lancelot, So very still the lake shall be, You could not guess—though you should guess— What is become of me.
So wide shall be the garden-walk, The garden-seat so very wide, You needs must think—if you should think— The lily maid had died.
Save that, a little way away, I’d watch you for a little while, To see you speak, the way you speak, And smile,—if you should smile.
—Edna St. Vincent Millay

Boat in the Moonlight by Odilon Redon
Merlin and the Gleam                
   I.    O YOUNG Mariner,    You from the haven    Under the sea-cliff,    You that are watching    The grey Magician    With eyes of wonder,    I am Merlin,    And I am dying,    I am Merlin    Who follow The Gleam.                   II.    Mighty the Wizard    Who found me at sunrise    Sleeping, and woke me    And learn'd me Magic!    Great the Master,    And sweet the Magic,    When over the valley,    In early summers,    Over the mountain,    On human faces,    And all around me,    Moving to melody,    Floated The Gleam.                   III.    Once at the croak of a Raven who crost it,    A barbarous people,    Blind to the magic,    And deaf to the melody,    Snarl'd at and cursed me.    A demon vext me,    The light retreated,    The landskip darken'd,    The melody deaden'd,    The Master whisper'd    "Follow The Gleam."                   IV.    Then to the melody,    Over a wilderness    Gliding, and glancing at    Elf of the woodland,    Gnome of the cavern,    Griffin and Giant,    And dancing of Fairies    In desolate hollows,    And wraiths of the mountain,    And rolling of dragons    By warble of water,    Or cataract music    Of falling torrents,    Flitted The Gleam.                   V.    Down from the mountain    And over the level,    And streaming and shining on    Silent river,    Silvery willow,    Pasture and plowland,    Horses and oxen,    Innocent maidens,    Garrulous children,    Homestead and harvest,    Reaper and gleaner,    And rough-ruddy faces    Of lowly labour,    Slided The Gleam.—                   VI.    Then, with a melody    Stronger and statelier,    Led me at length    To the city and palace    Of Arthur the king;    Touch'd at the golden    Cross of the churches,    Flash'd on the Tournament,    Flicker'd and bicker'd    From helmet to helmet,    And last on the forehead    Of Arthur the blameless    Rested The Gleam.                   VII.    Clouds and darkness    Closed upon Camelot;    Arthur had vanish'd    I knew not whither,    The king who loved me,    And cannot die;    For out of the darkness    Silent and slowly    The Gleam, that had waned to a wintry glimmer    On icy fallow    And faded forest,    Drew to the valley    Named of the shadow,    And slowly brightening    Out of the glimmer,    And slowly moving again to a melody    Yearningly tender,    Fell on the shadow,    No longer a shadow,    But clothed with The Gleam.                   VIII.    And broader and brighter    The Gleam flying onward,    Wed to the melody,    Sang thro' the world;    And slower and fainter,    Old and weary,    But eager to follow,    I saw, whenever    In passing it glanced upon    Hamlet or city,    That under the Crosses    The dead man's garden,    The mortal hillock,    Would break into blossom;    And so to the land's    Last limit I came—    And can no longer,    But die rejoicing,    For thro' the Magic    Of Him the Mighty,    Who taught me in childhood,    There on the border    Of boundless Ocean,    And all but in Heaven    Hovers The Gleam.                   IX.    Not of the sunlight,    Not of the moonlight,    Not of the starlight!    O young Mariner,    Down to the haven,    Call your companions,    Launch your vessel,    And crowd your canvas,    And, ere it vanishes    Over the margin,    After it, follow it,    Follow The Gleam.
—Alfred, Lord Tennyson, from Demeter and Other Poems

Dragon Quest VIII, Journey of the Cursed King, was a major touchstone for the series. Stateside we saw a serious attempt to market the series and push this as an on-ramp to something with a legacy. Bundled it with a Final Fantasy XII demo. This would be the first since the Square Enix merger, DQ was the banner series for the latter if you didn't know. We also get Level-5 as a developer hot off of one of my all-time favorite games, Dark Cloud 2/Dark Chronicle. Man that game is amazing. And so is Dragon Quest VIII, one that will top many favorites lists though it'd be a middle tier one for me.
First, we're in the PS2 era so this is a huge graphical step up. Having Akira Toriyama on board as an art director really gets to shine from here on. Cutscenes are fully voiced and have a lot more movement. There's a double-edged sword here though. You're only going to have a preset four-member party. The story is solid but pretty pedestrian. Like, by this point we've had some solid subversions of the hero's journey. Felt like they just wanted to play that side safe. Yangus, Jessica, & Angelo are all fun though. The skill point system gives room to customize as well.
What you do get to expand on is your monster team. On the overworld you can see some dudes wandering around. They're stronger but you can recruit them. Run them through team battles in an arena and call your team into battle for a few turns. This is not optional; you will need a good one to handle some later bosses. Excellent mechanic. You also get a rudimentary crafting system. IX is going to expand on this a lot more but it works here. All in all, I like VIII. Just wish it would have taken a few more chances.
