#refining and finishing them is not :')

[waywardstation]

I don’t know if this makes sense, but the way you write Akari and Ingo reminds me of One Summer’s Day by Joe Hisaishi. This is a compliment. Maybe not a very good one.

Um. I like your writing!

Ahh I love that track!!! So nostalgic! Thank you so much anon ;w; I take that as a huge compliment!! I’m so glad you like my writing!!!

Here, take a sketch I did back in November. Never got to finish it for the holidays like I wanted to, but I want to finish it when I can!!

#Ingo give her the hat so she can finish her snowman #submas #Ingo #warden Ingo #Akari #pokemon akari #quilava #pokemon legends arceus #pokemon legends #PLA #Pokemon #wayward’s asks #waywardstationart #<- kind of #a more refined version will come at some point #I need to stop hiding unfinished work lol I can just post them as sketches #THANK YOU ANON ;w;

savor-edesign thoughts

#zeno's art #ocs #reassassination #dr savory #the reason i have to redesign him is because reassass' style has become more refined and diverse in face shape/size #that the adult characters look distinct next to the teens #but savory still looks like a teen in the style #and he js supposed to be 32 years old so i guess thats not good #really i just gotta stretch out his face a bit #also i have some oc sheets done and ready tp post but i want to finish them all first.... #or fuck it ill post it now actually

Okay so, yesterday I've been on my worst DRG mission yet xD

I am a very green-greenbeard (barely over 10 hours playtime), my fav mission type is Liquid Morkite mining (space oil mining, you need to build a system of pipelines leading to each morkite rift, which requires a lot of fun terrain-conquering problem-solving), because building pipelines is addictively fun. So, as a complete idiot, I see a mission with modifiers (this was a decision I would later regret-but not really) and get on it on a public server (meaning any player can join in, which normally doesn't take too much time at all).

The modifiers on that mission? Low oxygen and Cave Leeches (Cave leeches are enemy type that grab you and drain your health to zero unless somebody else saves you, Low Oxygen means precisely what the name implies, and you need to regularly come back to the mining station to refill your oxygen tanks.) Oh, and the Cave Complexity was 3 (which means, as I've intimately learned on that mission, that the map becomes much bigger, and more obstacles will get in your way, this pairs very badly with low oxygen modifier, as your mission objectives are placed further, but you constantly need to route back to be able to breathe)

So, there my lonely Engineer was, with my best boi Bosco (robot-companion while you play solo, he actually does what you ask him to so he is more useful than actual players xD yes but not really but yes), terrified of the amount of lootbug mess I just stepped into, once I logged in and realised what exactly all those modifiers meant.

I was terrified to explore, as it would be extremely easy to get caught by leeches and Bosco can only revive me two times, and this was only the prep step of the actual mission. Very carefully, I was able to find the first morkite well, and then the real issue arose. While, I am really glad I picked Engie for this mission, as his ability to create platforms is extremely useful when building pipelines, he also is one of the classes that doesn't have innate fast mobility options. In the context of a big map and pipeline building this meant that I had to: imagine the route I can build the pipeline to that particular morkite well, figure out how to mold terrain so the pipeline route would be actually possible to build, go out and mold terrain, then immediately route back because I have no oxygen left, rinse repeat, but switch 'terrain mold' to 'pipeline construction'. Very soon the time I spent getting to the construction point and back took most of my oxygen, so I could work like 30 seconds maybe on a pipeline, before heading back, otherwise my dwarf would suffocate. Also, somehow, Nobody would join. I think I spent around 30, maybe a bit more minutes just trying to build the first pipeline. I was terrified of going outside the tried and true routes because of the cave leeches, so I didn't even have any nitra for a resupply when my platform gun ran out of ammo. I started manually digging through the rock to build the second pipeline. I mean, I started digging for 2 seconds at best, then had to run back because of low oxygen, then back to mining for my two limited seconds.

For some reason, I persisted through this, and built two out of three pipelines. Thankfully, the best route I found for the last line went parallel to my first built line for a long time, so that eased the process a little, and the middle morkite well turned out to be closer than the others, so that was a break. I only had the longest pipeline to build, the one where I had to manually dig a tunnel to place, when, THANK GOD, another player joined in. It was a Gunner, he clearly didn't feel nearly as terrified as I was of the cave leech ambushes, was I bravery or stupidity I know not, but he found us nitra, and I was finally able to order a resupply. Things went easier after I figured out that his ziplines took less time to go up the cliff that pipeline surfing, and with my reloaded platform gun things got much easier. Then another player joined in, a scout this time, and it all went pretty smooth after that. The entire mission took me an hour and a half to complete, and for the most of it I was on my own.

Bosco, I will never forget the bond we built on that mission, robot-buddy my dear,

and the joined guys really saved my ass there,

I would never have finished the mission without them. Remember, if you Rock and Stone, you're never alone!

#sadly they left after the mission and I didn't even get to order them a beer at the bar #i did thank them extensively during the mission chat so I think my appreciation was communicated well xD #thank god it was only hazard 2 so we didn't have too much troubles with bugs #my main is driller but i am starting to really love the engie too i like playing support roles #and his platform gun is extremely helpful especially on morkite refining missions helps out a ton when pipeline building #still drg is great because every class is pretty much self-sustainable so any one dwarf can finish any mission #you might really wish for teammates in times like this tho so the coop aspect of the game really works wonders here #rock and stone #drg #deep rock galactic #i am not doing low oxygen missions on my own again xD #though it will be my duty from now on to join each one I can cause I really needed those teammates

#taz #the adventure zone #carey fangbattle #taz killian #team sweet flips #thats their ship name right...? #anw ooooof this cane around so quick i hope I can finish what i have planned #unfortunately had to trim down some ideas bc i do not have the time to fully execute them #what made me think 3 multi pages comics for three days was a good idea 😭 i simply do not have the time dnjddjd #but I do have the sketches for at least 5 days planned out and ready to be refined so I think I can get those done at least!! qoooo! #after this I should be able to get around to the requests I have in my inbox - which are also very exciting!!

Not that I’m the type of person to take advantage of a situation and milk it for attention...

but also I am that person sometimes

And because I know there is a small resurgence in the Ascension fandom I thought some people might enjoy a WIP of Aida as Wanderer Above a Sea of Fog. Hello friends!

#because some wips are eternal because I am slow #rinmaru ascension #larkylabs #I will work on this forever and probably not finish #because I always have to fiddle with something #I have a degree in painting #like irl painting i do acrylics #but this is what im doing #doing weird things with historical paintings is exactly in my wheelhouse and mimicking them used to be something i was really good at #fanart #visual novel #painting is fun because step one is make some blobs and steps 2 through a million are refine the blobs

Occasionally we debate on illustrating random bits from our Discord PMs that we find really funny but then we remember that we're, like, the physical embodiment of the "ace that makes sex jokes" stereotype and phrases like "iterator dick discourse" would both be remarkably difficult to illustrate and probably require us drawing something at least somewhat NSFW (we do not particularly care to learn how to draw this)

#we speak #realistically it would just require more specific tinkering w what we choose to include but we still think the dickscourse is funny #it's the image of a bunch of ancient monks gathering around to very seriously debate decisions with the upcoming iterator project #and then the whiteboard is just like. “ITERATORS: dick or no?” #(vital context: we got hung up on the semantics of people giving their iterators actual genitals in smut) #(as the existence of that on the puppet implies that someone had to design and manufacture and ship that shit for the finished iterator) #(and the general aura of the ancients instantly catapults this to fucking hilarious because it implies job titles like “dick director”) #(and work emails about iterator pipe written in the exact same cadence as all of the ancient correspondence we see in-game) #we dont think a lot of people designing iterators really Get the sheer amount of semantics and construction and effort and PEOPLE #that go into a project of the iterator's scale #especially when hundreds of them have been constructed! theres gonna be a whole ass trail of design changes and iterations! #youre gonna have hundreds of years of iterators being designed and technology coming into fashion and out of fashion #and things being integrated and things becoming obsolete and things being more or less practical as time goes on! #you cant really say that All Iterators have a trait because the sheer scale and timeframe theyre built on means thats near impossible #our windows 95 writing computer has different construction and deeply different design to a laptop from 2023 #despite them technically being the same type of technology #you expect tech developed hundreds of years apart to be The Same? absolutely not. theres gonna be eight trillion weird design quirks #accumulated both in the construction process and in the continued design refinement and improvement stage #...which is to say that you can and should write what u want but if youre gonna include pleasure inducing wires then we want like #a 40k word essay on how this got into the design how it wound up in future designs what function the wires perform that makes them Like Tha #and so on and so forth #we admire the confidence and ingenuity of the people who want to fuck the robots but we cannot get into their fantasies with good conscienc #we live in the same house as an engineer who manages largescale construction and we also know too much about designing technology #...we should segment these tags into a separate post or something. we've gone WAY off-topic.

i dont have anything at All for kagami week and i wish i did BUT… here's snippets from these things to prove that i AM writing it at a snail's pace

#i have other scenes with her but none of them are refined yet #so disappointing!!! arghh #at least now i actively want to work on it and i'm not avoiding it anymore... ughh #someone bully me into writing all 20-odd chapters plz #Maybe if i post snippets i can force myself into finishing one (1) chapter #indiposts #indifics #? i think thats my tag #ml #these things #not tagging with the ships even though this is a ship thing #You'll see. You'll get it. #kagami #felix is there too ig

I am famously bad at finishing projects #I wanted to do more scenes but I couldn't get them to fit right. but know that the intent was there #like rolan taking a hit for rand in the fight vs bug kian #and I wanted to draw them actually in the boat instead of vaguely in the boat but my hand would not cooperate unfortunately #anyway the thesis of this is about I give you my life.

i’m two thirds through s4 (finished ep 8 tonight, didn’t have time to watch when it was airing live) and... it’s kinda not very good :( there are some things that i love (abraham and his whole storyline, litten who i already loved in s3, some scenes here and there) but overall i’m not feeling it. i have a lot more thoughts but i’m just wondering what the consensus in the fandom is?

#babylon berlin #babylon berlin spoilers #s4 #i know i should finish the season before asking but i couldn't resist anymore #why are there so many uhm cringy scenes and dialogue #what's happening #all my conspiracy theories are coming true one by one but i can't be happy about it bc the writing is so lacklustre #once upon a time i thought this show would break the mold of german tv but it's been sliding right back into the fold #where the scripts are the weakest point of the whole production #some eps are better than others and it's not a total dud #but i'm so disappointed #esp since every review was hyping up the season as the best yet #and i'm someone who liked s3 just as much as s1/2 so i didn't expect the show to fall behind that? #they also got me all hyped up with the lubitsch and wilder inspo talk and it's been a massive overselling of what they're doing #like some of the whacky situations and charades are amusing but they have none of the refinement or wit of lubitsch and wilder #almost insulting to invoke them if this is what you're talking about #k that's my mini rant over :(

Whenever I finish building a unit (rarely happens) I would not stay satisfied for long even tho I painstakingly put time and effort to get good and premium skills for the characters I like

But then new skills are added and the skill set I have for them are outdated super fast and ahhhhh-

#yeyarants #fire emblem #FE #feh #fe heroes #fire emblem heroes #I swear #I not long ago finished building Scáthach and Altena and now i want new skills for them #like sure their skills are good but #I need them to be more broken #also painstakingly saving up orbs for good fodder #and the Gacha gods just do not want to bless me that day #fuck this #sorry for this rant #this is my opinion on the current units I’m building #like hello I just gave them all I had but then NEW skills come out #fuck off IntSys let me be in peace #also stop because they keep releasing new skills like pretty fast recently #other skills got outdated real quick #ALSO REFINES TOO #HOLY FUCK #ok I’m done
