#these two play word games all the time

[mister-eames]

sitting here thinking what made eames snap at arthur “your condensation AS ALWAYS is much appreciated arthur thank you” what’s the back story what’s the hidden angst I’m dying here

This, reeks to me of at least one significant incident in the past of one of them shooting down the others idea shall we say 'gently, with a chainsaw.'

Maybe their last job together, before the Fischer job. Arthur was having a bad day, you know, like a rare and real Bad Day. His brain was too loud, his back was in pain, he had a burgeoning migraine, their extractor had fucked off so now Arthur was trying to fill two roles, his mom is very sick, and he has calculations of her medical bills interfering with actual calculations for the job. You know when you're at peak stress? Like you have 18 things to cross off your list before you can even think about a food break, and you just don't have the time to consider taking a breath, or delegating the tasks, you just have tunnel vision, your blood sugar is low, you just need to get through this and you need a radius of silence around you? I think Eames got in the way of that. He was probably trying to help Arthur out and volunteered an idea for the job and was shot down gently, with a (metaphorical) chainsaw. Arthur probably felt bad for it by the time the job was done and paid Eames some pithy compliment like, 'you did good' and Eames, who has been subjected to a terse and surly Arthur for a week thinks the compliment isn't genuine, is forced, hence the 'condescension' remark. Eames shrugs it all off. He doesn't need Arthur to stroke his ego, he knows his worth. It'd just be nice, is all.

Also, this may sound weird, but I also think it's also a very cute kind of thing that they do. They pick something to attribute to one another and it almost becomes a game. "Your sarcasm, Arthur, as always, is much appreciated." "Your inane ramblings, Eames, is much appreciated, thank you." "Your lack of enthusiasm, is much appreciated." "Your tardiness--" 'Your stubornness" -- and perhaps it slowly, slowly it starts to get kinder. There's a few "Your resourcefulness is---" and "Your creativity is---" until, until.....

#i am so sorry it took me a hot minute to respond #i was in le hospital for a no bueno weekend #anyway #this was a thought provoking ask and it kept me distracted so thank you! #inception #arthur x eames #these two play word games all the time #they get worked up and do nasty things with each other over crosswords and scrabble and wordle nolan told me so #dont know why my brain went there but its canon now

i think, and this may just be my zekrom bias speaking, that if someone wants to experience the full value of bw's story it's better to play through white first. black has the issue of coming off as very dismissive towards plasma's legitimate and well-founded claims that pokemon abuse DOES occur (and it does! from the kanto games' marowak to bw2's liepard there's instances where it's put in the spotlight, so it certainly does happen)... by assigning the protagonist to truth, it feels pretty evident that n's beliefs are "wrong", and the game just seems to brush any questioning aside.

on the other hand, white giving n the hero of truth role means we're basically forced to think about what that means for the relationship of people and pokemon at large. to translate a point n makes in chargestone cave: if you allow people to coexist with pokemon, even if the majority of trainers treat them well, there will always be someone somewhere out there who abuses or neglects them instead. are we okay with that? should those pokemon still be allowed to suffer, just because what they experience is an outlier to the general rule? while not outright stated, zekrom's association with hope and the strive for the ideal suggests that we don't brush off these facts, but instead take them into consideration, and aim to change the world based off of them... like how in bw2 society in unova puts a lot more emphasis on the bond between people and pokemon, and on pokemon as equals (see: iris's dialogue before entering your team info the hall of fame).

i think black version has its own unique avenues to explore, but on the surface level, it's a much more cut and dry, "no, you're just wrong", type of story that kind of makes you work harder to fit it into bw's overall theming of "the world's not black and white, there's not a singular objective right or wrong perspective."

#text #pokemon bw #this is inspired by a few posts i've come across over the past handful of months including a poketuber's who completely missed the point #i think black version should've been handled with as much care as white. because how gamefreak did it was kind of.. well lazy #and downright mean at times (white getting way more version exclusives due to white forest + black 2 making black city an empire of greed #with kinda. i don't know. depressing visuals like route 4 being turned into suburbia) #(oh and leaving in stuff like thundurus's cry over tornadus's + the castelia city paintings still being 'ugly truth and eternal ideals') #it may be too much to hope that there'll be some reworking in the inevitable remakes #that gives more credit black versions telling of the story but i doubt it. this is modern tpc we're talking about #ANYWAY yeah i think if you want to engage with the plot white version is the more rounded of the two. and i've played all 4 gen 5 games so #i was able to get a pretty good comparison between my experiences with the version differences #and oh for the record this is not a diss on anyone who takes the wrong messages from black becausefrankly black presents the wrong messages #even if it did not actively intend to. turns out just changing the word 'ideals' to 'truth' is not enough to be compelling

I AGREE its so crazy how zap gags weren't a thing.... like TTCC really popped off with that one! i understand TTR is moreso sticking closer to the way TTO was but WOW zap just feels so natural with a REALLY good mechanic that uses strategy in using squirt and its just so good.... also my favorite track

YEEEPP!! That's how I feel about it. Squirt and zap just mix well together. I also think the addition of an 8th gag track was also a good move, allowing for a nice rotation of combinations (like how lure-trap and throw-drop are together as a combo). And also its a nice even number. I also think it helps utilize squirt, idk just feels good to do in general. Of course, I don't really have anything to compare this to and it's just me speaking as a player of (currently) one server, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

It's my favorite too, zap warriors UNITE!!

#clemask #clemramble #this is also not me hating on tt r either #actually i probably dont have to space that out because this is going to appear in word search anyways but still #i know sometimes there's a little bit of competition (is that what youd call it)? between the two servers. i want it to be stated that #i do not care about server comp. play what you want. who cares. i think both servers have their pros and cons and finding value in what YOU #like is more important than which one is the “”best“”. I think TR does an amazing job of taking TTO and transforming it into something more #while also staying true to the original game. i love the fact it brings some of the old concepts that were originally scrapped or lost #i also like the toon events that they have. like there was the halloween one and if i believe correctly it had a parade in it? #SUPPPERR COOL. i shouldve atleast played a little during that time just to experience it. but to be fair during the school year my #playing in general is toned down a lot. im sure everyone reading this knows how it is #and obviously i like ttcc. it has mac and winn. i mean what who said that.theres a ghost in here.... #and i can understand why people like or dont like each server. they all have pros and cons. but to me its like the two cakes image #sorry i felt the need to clarify bc i know im kindof exclusively a ttcc guy and me going 'ummmm well tt r doesnt have zap' might sound #like im hashtag hating but im not. tt r is awesome ok. i need to try it out one day. #i just really like zap as a gag. like anon stated i think it just really feels natural to the game #that water electric combo does wonders

#i had a hangman/swerve fic started that i actually didnt hate but im not gonna finish it for tonight and posting it after makes no sense so #sweeping all that under a rug i guess #cause fuck me trying to do anything anymore #i was pretty happy with the progress too but. its just not happening #i just cant make anything. i cant and trying is not worth it #and i hate fucking saying that cause i know in like two days im gonna go back on that word and start making something again #cause making anything is the only way i feel alive anymore. but then the loop starts all over again and i cant ultimately break it #i dont know what im supposed to do about this. or what i can do. probably fucking nothing cause lbr i just fucking suck and its hopeless #whatever. sorry im just being a bitch once again. im resisting so hard of just deleting everything right now #instead im gonna go be fucking useless and waste time playing video games. cause thats a better use of my time i guess #i fucking guess #night is an absolute mess on main

[phantastragoria]

do you have a favourite portrayal of a character in the gotg game!! who is it and why <3

Oh I think they're all great honestly!!! Part of why I love the game so much is that genuinely, the whole team + supporting characters are written with such obvious love of the source material and equal attention between them all. When I see comments of people saying who their favorite character was from the game and the answer always being different from each person I'm like!! That's how it SHOULD be!!! They're the Guardians of the Galaxy (plural) the focus shouldn't all fall on a singular character like most other GotG media usually ends up as 😭

The two (sorry I can't pick just one) whom I think benefit the most from the game though are Drax and Gamora because they're almost always sidelined both in-and-out of universe by most of the various writers (especially as of late) and in turn the viewers/readers. I've been told plenty of times that they're the most boring members of the "main" team, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY! The amount of love the game versions get (by the few who've played it at least) proves that 🥺

I've never really liked 616 Drax shifting to being a complete clown during the 90s and such (and even less so when the MCU followed along 💀) So I appreciate the game taking a bit of his seriousness from the DnA run and just making him struggle with nuance and context clues in a less exaggerated way (autistic Drax I still believe in u) and I feel the focus put on him and how losing his original family + the aftermath deeply affected him hits pretty hard here because it's treated very seriously and shown in depth, especially with how his family (wife) gets actual focus. I cannot tell you anything about Yvette in comparison to Hovat, who actually seemed to have had a personality lol (AND she was on their village's council like omg imagine having more to you than just being The Housewife) Though I will say I flip and flop on my thoughts about Heather being disconnected from Drax's life in this universe... The TLDR is that I think his arc here specifically works stronger when he has to come to terms with losing his entire family and accepting the life he currently has with the Guardians. BUT!!! I very much appreciate that Heather is still confirmed to exist within this universe, even if that means her dad issues would have to be dealt with in a different context if we ever get to see her.

Also? Shoutout to the writers actually bringing up the intense paranoia that always kneecapped 616 Drax but having that be a turning point in his backstory here, with that conversation he has with Peter where he talks about how he was becoming so paranoid of everyone being a chitauri/Thanos conspirator to the point of literally turning into an obsessed maniac like Thanos, and realizing that he desperately needed to turn his life around, it's so ough.

Out of the already many great conversations throughout the game, I think the ones with him are the most poignant. My favorite scene in the whole game is Drax and Pete's little moment on Knowhere... makes me go wahhh

(l also love that out of everyone on the team, it's his headspace that we quite literally get to go into. You KNOW that if this was any other media it'd be going into Rocket or Groot's head and likely treated as a joke.)

And oh my god, Gamora...

I find it so extremely refreshing that her role in the plot doesn't revolve purely around the men in her life, and instead, it's nearly exclusively her connection with other women. Or in the most direct obstacle she has to deal with, being how she starts projecting to the millionth degree on Nikki's situation for reminding her of what happened to her and Nebula. I find that infinitely more fascinating as a reading of her character rather than just dating drama or her arc getting completely overtaken by a man's instead.

And especially in her friendship with Mantis, who, despite having all these futures she's constantly seeing and having to navigate, still makes time to do her best to help her 🥺 From saving her life and being the one who put her on the path to healing on Lamentis, to getting her to join the Guardians and still checking in on her when she's able 😭 Friendship between women can be so powerful... u love to see it (🏳️‍🌈)

I also find it nice that there's this emphasis on her recovering mentally, and the comparison between Thanos essentially teaching her to just Deal with the shit in her life through very simplistic meditation versus the priests of Pama actually teaching her something to help soothe the mind :^( and that she still has moments of relapsing essentially. I find that to be a realistic take on recovery because that's just part of the journey since healing is not linear... and I think it's very sweet that she finds comfort in collecting something ---girly--- like dolls. Love to see a person reclaim a part of their childhood that they weren't allowed to experience. And how she's allowed to make BAD JOKES?? Imagine a woman being written to have multiple dimensions, crazy and absolutely unthinkable, I know.

There's this extremely specific theme in relation to Gamora across media that's been rattling around in my brain since first playing the game. When near the end during the revisit to Knowhere, she's about to completely lose it when Peter tries talking -for- her on what she's so upset about before immediately shooting him down, and she explains what happened between her and Nebula and she starts crying. It really struck me right then that she's never given a moment to cry elsewhere (or in the 616's case, the quite literal inability to.) aside from her shedding a Single Manly Tear (Original Sin) or a single moment out of legit fear (MCU 💀) because she's a hashtag Strong Independant Woman who can't be vulnerable etc etc. But for her to cry in front of the people she's come to care about, It gives her a moment of true vulnerability that I don't think she's allowed ever in most other media.

That and all of the above hits hard and is what makes me genuinely believe that the writers cared about her in the narrative and tried to do right by her when every other bit of media really hasn't nor cared to the majority of the time since the 90s :'^/ Brings a tear to my eye that she's allowed to just... exist in the narrative on her own merits and not on what she can provide to someone else's story.

#lex thoughts #gotg thoughts #universe: eidos game #gotg2008 #sorry for asking for a question then immediately disappearing for a month 💔 I'm on the most stressful roadtrip ever #i 🫶 you for asking about them though the Eidos gotg are my everything and i won't shut up about them if given the chance #very funny to me that all these important moments happen on Knowhere. Strange things can happen at the end of the universe. #The end page of W&tIW 09 is the only other Gamora moment of vulnerability across media that i can specifically pinpoint #But it's more self reflection in a way of a heavily traumatic experience that I don't feel ever truly got resolved within the 616 IMO #And I find it a specific point to be made when Gamora is/isn't allowed to feel or literally denied things that are stereotypically- #-categorized as -feminine- (which is dumb to assign gender roles to a simple human emotion such as CRYING.- #-But you get what I mean I hope) We play fast and loose with gender around here pardner I think all of the gotg should cry more #but in Gamora's case specifically it Hits Different knowing her past and treatment throughout media #i could also heavily go into the way the game adapts Peter's character in relation to his element guns but that's an essay for another time #just because -i- find that extremely fascinating doesn't mean i think he should particularly be the main focus (and he isnt) #bc pete rocket and groot are the ones that already get all the attention (even if i dont agree with how they're written elsewhere) #i just find it more engaging for the other two main characters of the team that always get sidelined by the writers actually being put in- #-the spotlight with equal attention given to them for once to be sooo -shakes fist #sorry for the intense word salad i hope i make sense lol ESSAY/RANT OVER .🤐

[asexualdreammorpheus]

the first sex scene with fane is so much funnier as an undead instead of him feeling weird about that thing the godwoken does with their tongue he feels weird about what the godwoken did with their tibia

#divinity original sin 2 #the game sometimes misses out on remembering your character is undead #and treats it like you've got a regular character #but sometimes its fucking gold mines like these moments #ah the yuthul gor split its one of your inventive tricks #it probably sounded horrific just two skeletons uh......boning #for lack of a better word tbh #so disappointed i let fane down this was for science #well multiple tests must happen of course that's how it works for scientific results #wait until he finds out what the godwoken can do with her cervical #like shucking an oyster never fails to crack me up #im getting very mixed messages from fane #he doesn't have the desire to touch you or even talk to you #but suggest a mating ritual and he's all too eager #ifan and the red prince just standing there like fine whatever #its rivellon anything goes #i absolutely have to play as fane next time just to see what happens

Explain disco elysium to someone whos never played disco elysium

if you have played this game you will know what an impossible question this is to answer. but i can try

you're an amnesiac detective with the dual tasks of solving a murder and solving the mystery of who you are, why you're here, why *here* is *like this* and why *you* are *like this*, and whether the answers to any of those questions are related. it's a dialogue heavy tabletop-inspired open narrative rpg with a lot of chance elements and a lot of freedom in choice. you can build your character to be a cocktail of many different traits based on your decisions so your interactions with the world are very meaningful and will shape how you move forward. the setting is best described as magical realism; there are a lot of things parallel to our own world, as well as some supernatural/magical elements that are worked into the narrative in such a way that they hardly even seem like magic. it's a well-built world that feels very real, which is important because the setting has such a profound impact on the characters and story.

as for the meaning of the game, the takeaways are so deeply personal and also dependent on how you go through it. politically it calls out the sheer ridiculousness of fascism, the cruelty of centrism and the evil of capitalism, while also addressing the failings of contemporary communist circles- most notably its favoring of intellectual debate rather than direct action. it addresses the fallibility of human beings in all their aspects: how relationships fall apart, how even the best intentions lead to terrible consequences, how sometimes trying your best just isn't enough. it also addresses the beauty of humanity, of how people make beautiful things out of the ugliest parts of life, of how there will always be one more chance to try again, somewhere. it's about death and how to live in spite of it. it's about the stubbornness of life and how to die, regardless. it's about futility, and the inherent hope in hopelessness: if nothing you do matters, focus on the *why not* instead of the *why bother*. it's about making joy where you can find it and embracing pain where it comes to you. it's about unfairness and inequity and the apathy of circumstance, and knowing that it will never ever change, and knowing that regardless, you have to try. it's about fighting back and giving up. it's about being presented infinite choices in a singularity. it's so incredibly meaningful and everyone is going to get something different from it that reflects what they listened to most. it's genuinely a work of art.

it's also a dress up game.

#words fail to capture this game. the official trailers and box art info and stuff literally do not explain it at all #it's such its own thing. my advice to anyone actually new is to watch a clip or two of gameplay and decide based on that #but also it belongs on girlsgogames dot com #it's soooo fun and it's hilarious but it WILL sucker punch you many times before it's over #come closer. wouldn't you like to play as the funny sopping wet middle aged bisexual communist man w/every mental illness? #it's a normal game i promise i promise i promise you wont have your entire chemistry altered for ever and ever #kiwipost #im soooooo normal dont look at me #ask

sleepy mr baby + other random misc images

#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that -- #1. Interesting formations in the bottom of a cocoa powder container #2. more pressed four leaf clovers for the year. found all in one day #3. The picture is so blurry it's hard to tell but it's a DOUBLE clover! I've found multiple 6 leaf clovers before but usuall #y they're connected much higher up where the leaves are and sort of look like one clover.

without fail my favorite threads to laugh at on the warframe feedback forum are any that start with something like: "I'm a veteran player, 96 thousand hours of play time, L2 rank"

It doesn't always include every part of that, usually they just say "veteran" or they say "I'm L2" because both of these things clearly mean they know what they are talking about.... right? Right?!

#warframe #These threads are statistically the most likely to have the most uninformed takes possible by OP #The two most recent threads I read that started this way were saying 1) Trinity is the worst frame- no survivability or synergy #and 2) Archons are actually impossible and can't be beaten and I lost x times in a row and DE should remove them #'''''''''''veterans''''''''''''' #a word that matters #ohoh 3) someone claiming they have done every conceivable thing in the game so DE MUST give them more kuva because riven rerolls are all- #they have left. Like. Bro. Just go play another game for a bit. Literally why would you keep playing every day if you have nothing to do #Congrats I guess

#actually thats not TOTALLY true. i have some basics of javascript for some ungodly reason #but for renpy i'll have to start from scratch LOL pray for me #played too many tiny indie games recently. will never fault them for their use of default ui....BUT #playing planetarian reminded me what i want in VN UI and now im feeling like i need to take things into my own hands #list of things i think are vital in vn ui: #1) 4 by 3 that aspect ratio #jk jk #you dont HAVE to........but i think u should #EVEN if ur not 4:3ing it I DO GENUINELY think you should make your textbox narrower #also dont put too much words in ur textbox. use nvl mode if you need more than two short sentences #also fonts with more generous spacing blease #that ones another one just for me. but i think itd help a lot with accessibility #also more feedback. put a little sound in ur button presses. also sound in general is often neglected i think #they started as 'sound novels' after all #its not vital but i think adding some auditory feedback can help with the tactility of the game. ive always found renpys default ui very...s #slippery? im sliding around here #but basically my only desire is to recreate the UI of early-mid 2000s vns in renpy. my only desire #well actually i dont mind the spacebar functioning as an extra enter button in modern games #we dont really need the old spacebar-hides-textbox situation most of the time #also maybe having proper options menus is better than just right clicking and going through a dropdown LOL

The con of liking more than one anime thing is that all the voice actors are the same and you're constantly like "this voice is familiar where do I know this from"

#stuff sarah says #forever dying at komaeda and adrien sharing a va #apparently dr reuses the same va's all the time and i #im like YOURE SO FAMILIAR WHO ARE YOU and its a guy from the last game #also getting vibes of a totally dif anime from a dude leading me to favoring him over others #and i find out they share a va and im like shut up #tho that was the english version. i only ever watched the sub of the anime #and i played the bits with the chatacter in question in japanese bc i prefer the japanese voices #but i cant handle the words in this trial being all over the screen without hearing them in english #and ive replayed the other two in english bc im playing them with a friend and i need breaks for my voice gjjfhd

if i ever play d/isco elysium....well you know i will be drawing that fellow with the gloves and his big hairy friend by golly....

#i see harry n kim on my dash all the time they're like my distant friends. I dont have time to start a new game right now but i think . #eventually i might play it. i wasnt sure i could but actually looking at it my pc should be able to. i mean its pictures and words #and some animations . if my pc cant do pictures and animations game we're in trouble. #anyway sometimes i look at those two and go you belong on this blog i think.

sighs in contentment......

#shut up danni's talking #hi yes i always feel happy as FUCK when i read a v long fic but doubly so when i realise that i caught up before the end #i have spend idk how long maybe 4/5 days reading a 700k+ word fic #w only two more chapters left and i just. oh BOY #i cannot even begin to get into all the details i adore about this fic #and yes i am absolutely talking abt mortified #i spent the majority of the time listening to it via text to speech while playing mindless games #but when i got to the parts i hadn't read before (like the last 50 chaps i think) i had to give it my full attention #i just. there is so much i love. #it just adds so many aspects of world building that feels so right that its almost unnatural when i see things that goes against it #i just. #also theres no shortage of pride in there too bc wow 700k words in under a week? deffo good #HOWEVER my goal w listening to it rather than reading was hopefully something that'd take longer #considering how i read faster than it takes to speak things alas i'll have to wait for chapters again which is weird #i have been behind on it for so long #i have this mega word doc summarising the fic that i was working on to help me keep up w plot threads #and im not joking abt the mega its mammoth and i gave up in parts #i'll probs work on it as i reread it again at some point #its deffo smth i'm gonna share when its done bc i it is LONG and i know ppl don't have as much time as i do #but i want the opportunity for ppl to not balk at the size of the fic to not even attempt to read it #or if they want to read it but can only read a chapter a day so they'll need a reminder #one of the things i'll always be thankful for in fanfics is when ppl bookmark fics with a summary of the plot #its just. its reassuring to me to know vaguely what's going to happen #esp bc some plot elements will always instantly call to me #i can't begin to tell you how many fics i've ebbed and erred on but were ultimately swayed by bookmarkers' summaries #also i like to reread seconds of fics if i don't reread the whole thing #so knowing where those sections are located is v v helpful #anyways thats my lil fan project for mortified lol #always get a lil flustered when i interact w the author bc WOW the skill????? the dedication??? always a lil in awe #now to zone out and stare at my ceiling trying to process that masterpiece

Joe Zieja on stream playing Three Hopes voice: the only good dad

don’t take this seriously in a way that harasses joe even indirectly where he may never see it or im going to put the bottom of the aegis shield through your head

#Fire Emblem Three Houses #Fire Emblem Three Hopes #Three Houses #Rodrigue #Rodrigue Achille Fraldarius #Three Hopes #FE16 #you all rly thought i wouldn't take sev up on that offer? #tossing love for characters into tags? throwing love around bc it's nice to have??? #and yes I am in fact quoting Joe Zieja when I say the only good dad in his exact words #hey look maybe he was half joking but considering he comments regularly while playing on all the dads he thinks are bad dads #im pretty sure to some degree he actual meant yes this is the only good dad in two playthroughs of houses and one playthrough of hopes #and he did play felix's paralogue in houses so he has met rodrigue to some extent #and considering like 75 percent of the fanbase behaves like joe z's opinions and thoughts are word of god. well. #anyway joe z is a cool human being and im chill with him and he's fun to play jackbox with #yes i will take his comment about this old man seriously bc it makes my heart happy and fluttery to hear anyone say such nice things abt him #JUST for this nice comment he made about rodrigue i'll forgive him for the time he accidentally murdered yuri #and was going to continue playing the rest of the game with yuri dead until his whole chat was like #no go back bc he also killed judith in that map run. oh and he literally didn't care abt killing yuri so like #listen. that comment abt rodrigue is the level needed to make me overlook such terrible things #NOT MANY THINGS WILL MAKE ME OVERLOOK A HEARTLESS MURDER OF YURI SO THIS WAS IMPORTANT #joe has since completely neglected yuri tho btw smh joe why are you like this #why do you love balthus and constance but you won't even glance at the prettiest boy #wife hapi also doesn't seem to be on his list of import. joe how could u my guy #joe we play jackbox together and write dumb answers together how could u do yuri lovers like this #but i'll let it slide bc u said something nice and just abt rodrigue #yeah this has like very little to do with the post anymore but hey at least the yuri shenanigans are fond joe z memories now #this post is like half a joke but also not a joke u kno??? one of those kinds???
