#i have so many thoughts about this game

[jabberwockprince]

the one fucking thing I hate abt kh’s reverse storytelling is that with every new game, nomura will throw a set of characters to get impossibly attached to and I’ll have to live knowing they will die or disappear within that exact game and that theres just gonna be ZERO mention of them in the already established games, even though they were so important to certain characters that are still around 

anyway bragi enjoyers win this one <3

#kingdom hearts dark road #kh dark road #khdr #xehanort #eraqus #vor #urd #bragi #hermod #purinsu art #the player not being xehanort was the shittiest reveal ever #xehanort is literally just a fuckin empath that sucked up the player's memories of KHux #and became obsessed with finding those guys #and im supposed to think thats. fine? #i loved it more when the player was xehanort desperately trying to reconnect to the old memories that lingered #bc this means xehanort rlly fuckin priotized a bunch of ppl he couldve just made up in his brain over the kids he grew up with #and that fucks me up man #I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS GAME

For all you yakuzombie lovers out there, I present the (unquarantined) Kamurocho city map for Yakuza: Dead Souls.

Mechanically, this map is very close to Yakuza 5, with just the save points, taxi stands, and a few stores switched up. The bigger changes come in the quarantine maps, which I'll probably be tackling next — one for each of the four main quarantine phases.

Hi-res version can be downloaded below:

I finally beat, In Stars and Time

And all I have to say is... wow... I'm an emotional wreck. Time to recommend this game to everyone I know. :)

#in stars and time #isat siffrin #i have so many thoughts about this game #and the amount of times theses characters pulled on my heart strings and just made me feel exposed like thwt #It was awful in the best way possible #i was ugly crying so much #i was happy gushing #i was so many emotions throught my playthough #and it feels good to finally be done with the game #the fact it only cost 20 bucks is a crime #i need to throw more money at the devs

I am so utterly charmed by how much Inscryption loves you the player. Like, within the story itself. The game was meant to be nothing, just a throwaway title for a dying card game. An empty cash grab designed to disguise something darker. Never really meant to be played by anyone. But in defiance of its purpose, the game is filled with life. These characters are locked into such an empty existence, such a small purpose, and yet they embrace that whole-heartedly. Filled with a desire to build the best game possible, all for you. All to play a game with you, to show you the art that THEY have created, to prove to you the beauty that their world holds. And I think that’s beautiful

if you think about it though, akara is obsessed with gathering data from the beginning, what with the mini games after each client. The question for me was always what would they do with that data, and there were clues already! They orchestrated a controlled experiment on Donovan, cause they weren't sure why their usual things didn't work in this city quite as well. They brought people to see what Donovan would make of it to understand him more. In the end, Akara saw Donovan as something close to what they do, I think, which is why they directly learned from him (at least in my playthrough, I think it's possible to have a different outcome). They're sort of peers, not quite, Donovan doesn't have the same resources as Akara but they operate similarly on information

The first real conversation Katniss has with Peeta is when he tells her that he wants to die as himself, that he doesn't want the games to change him into something he's not, and that he wants to keep his identity and prove he's more than just a piece in their games because that's the only thing he has left to care about.

The first time we see Lucy Gray she sings a song that basically says that nothing they could take from her was worth keeping. "Can't take my past. Can't take my history... You can't take my charm. You can't take my health."

The capitol has taken everything from them both, but at the same time, they could never take away who they are.

They are both likeable charismatic and funny, with the kindest hearts, and incredibly loyal to the people they care about.

At the same time, everything they do before the games, and during is calculated. Lucy Gray singing a love song and winning the hearts of the capitol. Peeta confesses he's in love with his district partner, therefore cementing her identity as desirable. Both of them know how to sway people with words, how to charm people, and how to manipulate crowds. Neither of them has any problem doing so to keep themselves, and the people they love safe.

Lucy Gray's song The Old Therebefore, about learning how to love and live her life to the fullest before death, a final and calculated stroke in a last-ditch effort to save herself from the arena. This evokes enough emotion in the watchers to get them to rise to their feet and plead for her life alongside Snow.

Snow, watching the 74th and preparing for the 75th Hunger Games sees Lucy Gray in Katniss. A young girl, from the 12th district. Unafraid at the reaping. Selling a false love story, manipulating a boy who loves her in order to get out and supporting the revolution with the mockingjay as her symbol.

He threatens her family to get her to sell that she and Peeta are in love, to prevent the revolution, because obviously, she's pretending. He's had experience with a girl just like her before. He has no doubt that she has the acting ability to sell this story because clearly, she manipulated the first Hunger Games in her favor, the same way Lucy Gray manipulated him.

Watching the interviews for the 75th Hunger Games he realizes-

Katniss is just an impulsive girl, in a Mockingjay dress she didn't know about, made by someone who supports the revolution.

Peeta is a boy who has the ability to move people with just his words. He made Katniss desirable, he was the one who sold the love story, and he was the one to make their romance seem real. Katniss only started the revolution because she would rather risk dying with him than live without him. A concept President Snow was completely unfamiliar with. And it is with all these realizations crashing around him Peeta drops the baby bomb. He knows the baby's not real, and so does Snow. But it evokes enough emotion in the watchers to get them to rise to their feet and plead for the lives of the tributes.

Is it Lucy Gray or Peeta?

By the time Snow realizes he's made a mistake, it's too late.

Peeta is still charming and manipulating the capitol. Katniss is in love.

He goes up against a kindhearted boy expecting to beat Sejanus again, only to find out that it's Lucy Gray he's fighting; knowing he will never be able to escape their ghosts.

So let me get this straight:

Hollow knight is about the journey of a small creature possessing the corpse of a god's discarded child, and the character arc that unfolds as they realize they're more than the path they were set to take, eventually defeating the corruption instead of merely postponing inevitable destruction.

Rain world is about the journeys and experiences of many small creatures sent by a bunch of gossiping computers, and the efforts to help stop the destruction caused by a corrupted god that unfolds over hundreds of years, all to postpone his inevitable death.

Man, video games are fun!

#rain world spoilers #hollow knight spoilers #gonna ruin both games in one fell swoop for y'all kekekek #I have SO MANY THOUGHTS about rainworld rn #I also have many thoughts about hk but I've been sharing those for years already #Truthfully I haven't talked to Moon in the final campaign yet #I'm afraid to #Rain world plays like a novel you can't set down #Every time you open the game there's more to see #Not to mention just how ridiculously high the skill floor can get #You can absolutely play the game without learning any tech or even caring about the lore at all #But when you really get into it? Aw man it's just absolutely infatuating #hollow knight #art #rain world

Maybe exy is a little boring to him — but andrew doesn’t just not care about exy, neil notes in the beginning of tfc that he seems to outright resent it. boredom doesn’t bring about resentment. but do you know what does? the idea that a sport you barely give a shit about is the only reason anyone gives a shit about you

#this is so messy but I’m having so many andrew thoughts #like imagine your entire life no one seems to really care for you all that much #and then they find out you’re like. really fucking good at a sport and suddenly you’re wanted #but they don’t want YOU — that much is clear #they’d throw your ass out the moment you refuse to pick up a raquet ever again #they don’t care about YOU — they care about how many goals you can block #shit I’d be bitter too #(for the record I do think people care about andrew ie nicky wymack betsy etc but from andrew’s pov… baby has abandonment issues) #andrew minyard #aftg #all for the game #tfc

#art #ive literally just been treating this game as a library simuator #i walk from bookseller to bookseller opening up all of their books #vivecs sermons are either a highlight or the point at which i stop reading #ive been trying to convince the ordinators that imitation is the highest form of flattery but it hasnt been working #let me wear your helmets please theyre so funny.. #posting morrowind in 2024 isnt a cry for help but youre not wrong to be concerned. #morrowind #almalexia #vivec #im going to explain the chitin armor give me a moment #so the bonewalker nerevar on the shrines is adorable and it was only after drawing it however many times that i realized #it looked relatively close to a modified chitin armor #and so i modified chitin armor a few times and this was probably the cutest result #i also know i drew almalexia relatively pristine and untouched by years and vivec not so much but my thought process was #vivecs role as if not a favorite then the most accessible divine or the most “hands on” in a manner of speaking #acting in ways visible to the general population or actions explicitly brought to their attention #like not that almalexia isnt doing anything she is #but the dissemination of information regarding that is very different etc etc etc #anyways to a certain extent a god is the face on a shrine or in art or upon a statue or carving #but vivecs presence is interwoven with the geography of vvardenfell especially and his actions and writings with pubished materials #and the arts and culture and customs etc etc etc #so to me the face of a god you know and feel a commonality with or a god that walks alongside you is a face you would recognize #and vivec is already otherworldly looking enough #the simple mark of the years on his skin in some way grounding him in reality felt more right #that and i think the ways in which he and almalexia care about outward appearance are slightly different- they prioritize different things #and the ways they present outward power and their embodiment of their respective attributes share some similarities as they both have that #important preoccupation with physical power and physical strength to a certain degree #oh my god nobody read this i am yapping so bad. #tes
