#persnaps !! 🦀

[codecicle]

HELLO !!!! Wondering what. Ur favourite video game is rn. And persnaps🦀 things in it u enjoy ??? (*^_^*)

OHHHHH THANK YOU FOR THIS I GET AN EXCUSE TO TALK ABOUT SUBNAUTICA >:DDDD

Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero will be my favorite set of games forever and ever man. Mentally I'm still there and I will never leave those games gave me my passion for both robotics and deep-sea travel/creatures in real life its what made me as insane as I am today ^_^

The Reaper leviathans (and all the leviathans in the game for that matter. reefbacks are peak fuck the haters 🔥🔥) always have a little compartment in my brain and I will never shut up about their design and how effective they are when it comes to horror. The way they're introduced AFTER the player runs into the completely friendly reefbacks so their fear of "loud noise/big = bad" is subdued and broken down so their guard is lowered right before entering the dunes and feeling true primal fear for the first time apon seeing them is just executed SO perfectly I've never seen something come even close to comparing. I wouldn't say they're my favorite thing across BOTH games though because oh my goddd that spot is definitely reserved for AL-AN

Him and his whole planet will forever live in my head rent-free (both because I'm not a landlord LMAO and also. Insane about him disease) every little detail about him makes me so insane. The fact that his species is mainly robotic and mechanical so he doesn't understand a majority of Robin's feelings and experiences that she's been through, the way they built apon the original virus on 4546B by explaining the way it showed up and mutated to annihilate every species on that planet was BECAUSE of the very architects that meant to protect it. Them having to build the original quarantine system that crashed Riley's ship (The Aurora) because their bodies weren't entirely mechanical, and all of their biological components were made out of the most efficient and compatible parts of 40-ish species which means once they caught the original disease, every other species that they pulled from could now get it. That only makes them trapping the Emperor Leviathan so much sadder because they didn't realize she could communicate with them and actually give them what the whole planet so desperately needed because they talk through entirely closed off mental frequencies, so even their bio components couldn't let her talk to them. AL-AN being one of the few to try and go against the current and felt bad about what they were doing to the queen is just so in character for him, especially with how he acts to all "lower" lifeforms that Robin runs into. Him being cut off from his entire family and neural-link is just so fucking devastating and him finding that comfort and connection through Robin, going so far as to rescue her and take her off-planet with him once she builds his body will NEVERR leave me man godd what an ending

Speaking of his body, I've gotta say it's the single coolest alien design I've ever fuckin seen. Look at this shit

like oh my god??? what the fuck right??? everything about it makes me so insane. NOT TO MENTION this concept art (which IS his final design btw just not 3d rendered yet) is made by Pat Presley, who also ended up making concept art for all the other Archetects that we haven't met yet and will meet in Subnautica 3 (whenever the fuck that will begin development LMAO)

like look at how different they are from him. how much more mechanical and less colorful, more hivemind-esque and lifeless they seem. even just down to the pose he's standing in gives off so much more life than they do and it makes me INSANEEEEE his time with Robin absolutely changed him and his physical form reflects that. He is such a combination of all the other archetects while also being NOTHING like them at the same time. The fact that he is literally able to move and change the shape of his arms and be fluid the same way he is fluid and willing to change unlike all of those on his home planet is crazy to me.

Speaking of his home planet too, it's also sick as fuck and I just need to show this finale screenshot real quick because oh my GODDDD I'm losing it. You have no idea how hyped I was to watch this shit when the full game released

AND ONE MORE THING!!! speakkkinnggg of the full-game release, the game actually released in beta testing with a different opening than the final version!! and in the beta testing, you started out in the final area where the finale takes place in the final release version. Visiting that old station again at the very end of the game feels like such a nice nod to the beta-testers that feels perfectly planned out. It really makes the game come full circle, even if you don't have the context of the beta testing version to appreciate.

Subnautica is (either story or gameplay-wise) probably the objectively better game imo, but Below Zero holds such a special place in my heart for the AL-AN story line alone. Godd he makes me so insane I love him sm <3 <3 rant over thank you for the ask

#i make yet anothet post just for me 👍 #we have mail :] #oh btw!! youve gotten me to start saying persnaps all the time now #its gotten so bad ive infected felix and i feel insane about that #persnaps !! 🦀

ashton swagaythor codecicle i need ur help. im rotating around a qslimecicle disco elysium au but i cant for the life of me think of what his skills would be. im thinking maybe paternal instinct as one of the psyche ones and wordplay as one of the intellect ones but aside from those im stuck

i know nothing of disco elysium but I looked through a few wiki pages i hope any of this makes sense o/

for a physique trait I think it would be something similar to pain threshold, but instead of being able to endure a ton of damage (he sucks so bad he dies all the time) it plays on his code infection making his arms permanently numb and feeling like pins and needles so all pain is absorbed that way. not to mention his self-sacrificial tendencies when it comes to family and how he let's himself get hurt for them all the time (the bombs going off and killing him when he went on the first rampage, codeflippa painfully corrupting him but him just turning a blind eye, things along those lines ^_^)

and for motorics i think a trait similar to interfacing would work really well for him. he works with bombs and guns mainly, and even though he doesn't work with the create mod the way everyone else on the server does it would still be a nice nod to the code taking over his body being machine-like. also im just bullshitting here because i really know nothing about this game but persnaps 🦀🦀 before the code infection he would've had something similar to savior fair, but mainly focusing on body strength acrobatics and dancing since he spend so much time grieving flippa on the stripper poles in the dance club. and also charlie slimecicle's general build <3

#i make yet anothet post just for me 👍 #we have mail :] #GOD i hope i understood these traits correctly. also i need to play this game so badly #good luck with the au soli o/ AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHOW ME ANY OF IT. EYES WIDE OPEN STARING AT YOU I WOULD LIKE THAT ^_^ #no pressure though :D
