man people REALLY can't tell when larian is full on joking in their patch notes, huh? the gale thing was a legitimate bug and people are crying that they changed him as they did lae'zel. reading comprehension these days is abysmal.
I can't be surprised, though, because back when astarion's kiss animation was bugged, I saw discussions that it was "suspicious" that his kiss animation wasn't bugged for the default guy body, but was bugged for the default gal body. you know, as if larian somehow fucked up their own game's code on purpose, specifically to slight women who want to romance a canonically bisexual man that has flirtatious dialogue with the lady companions regardless of your tav's interest in him. totally checks out.
the complaints about changing lae'zel are entirely valid and I agree that her personality should not be toned down to appeal to the delicate sensibilities of the heterosexual man. I'm fairly certain that lae'zel's change was actually the only one that intentionally altered a companion's dialogue to be less abrasive. the alleged change to shart was also a bug fix, not an attempt to alter her character, if I remember correctly.
but by all means, let's accuse the devs of "ruining the game" every time they improve it. even better, let's all campaign for the addition of another romance! solely so that we can have sex with a popular NPC! rather than, oh I don't know, putting more pressure on them to add more material to the stories of wyll & karlach!
I swear, some people really do NOT know what it feels like to play a game where the devs truly and honestly are not listening to the playerbase...or where it takes literal YEARS for them to respond to even a fraction of the players' reasonable concerns & feedback.

so. it has recently come to my attention that "Midnight Murder" is NOT a game that everyone grew up playing and is instead a game that was probably made up by my family.
but im curious anyway
"Midnight Murder" is a game that's a hybrid of "hide and seek" and "freeze tag" with the one extra requirement that it MUST be played only when it's dark outside.

Sometimes I wonder what weird archaic stuff is still rattling around Arasaka’s corporate structure given it’s been a zaibatsu for like 100 years or so. Mostly I wonder what network ghosts and other haunted technical infrastructure they have because lemme tell you, hypercapitalist sprawling tech companies have some Shit going on in the background and it never gets fixed until the people thanklessly duct taping it back into place give up or die. Imagine the technical debt going on in like the HR system while R&D gets all the shiny new toys, and then someone has to make all these systems talk to each other.

The Smiling Critter PJO AU Nobody Asked For!
Except me. I wanted this.
So, let's start with the goodest boy, Dogday! Named Daisuke and a son of Zeus, a natural-born leader, with all the weather manipulation and everything a child of Zeus can do.
Catnap is a child of Hypnos, named Cassander. He eepy. Able to induce sleep, manipulate dreams, shadows, and even create illusions. So, not too different from canon!Catnap, except he's not evil, just eepy.
Picky is named Pauline; her friends call her Polly. As a child of Demeter, she always has some snacks on her, which she grew herself.
Bubba is now Berthold, son of Athena. He's Daisuke's go-to for strategy in a fight or games. He's a crafty one.
Kickin and Craftycorn are now Keith and Mariah, respectively, as the only siblings* in the group. Both are children of Apollo, with Mariah having an affinity for art in all its forms and Keith being more of a healer and musician.
Bobby is a child of Aphrodite named Rosa Maria. She's not too different from her canon self, except she can Charmspeak and isn't afraid to throw hands with anyone messing with her friends.
Last, but certainly not least, is Hoppy, now Hope, a daughter of Hermes. She's really more attuned to the athletic abilities she's inherited from her father, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have some thief aspects to her. Both Keith and Rosa have complained about her stealing their stuff.
*The only siblings that are blood-related; Cass and Polly are step siblings.
And that's it, for now! I just wanted to get the idea out, because it's rotting my brain.

tagged by @whamss i’m currently not doing anything so i will do this.
last song: i was thinking about heathers musical last night and put it on to loop while on a mad surugaya shopping spree. i was imagining it again earlier today and put on the end of our love is god just to listen to that part where kurt gets shot. i don’t even like the whole song that much but i kept looping some of the fun motifs from it in the other songs with my mind radio.
favourite colour: uhhhhh pfffff kinda suuuck at choosing one favourite colour but i vibe with this soft green #cccc66 that’s the colour of this little water bottle i got, and also the awesome yellow #e4bd18 on the cute crossbody itabag i also got.
last movie/show: when i watch shows or movies it’s usually with note who’s been busy with granblue relink as of late so i’ve just been catching up on connor vods (last one i watched) (what i'm watching right now) an actual movie or show I last watched…… i swear it must’ve been episode 5 of scott pilgrim from november last year with note? this was before i strapped in committed to making that video, and then travelled afterwards.
sweet/spicy/savoury: idk i like treats of both the sweet and savoury variety (separately) i think this is a weird question for me to answer. actually buying nice treats is costly so most of the time i’m just eating savoury for sustenance? preparing something sweet myself is a hassle.
relationship status: single and fine with it.
last thing i googled: this sucks the last thing i looked up was “sustenance” to make sure I got the word right, my last few searches have also been “episode 6 scott pilgrim” “episode 4 scott pilgrim” “granblue relink” i’m literally going through my history right now and everything in the last 24 hours is just me checking what i might be saying or checking what i was buying from last night.
current obsession: i’m not deeply obsessed with it right now but my active interest is still durarara at the moment, still thinking of and not finishing a bunch of things i want to do for it and last night was a deep shopping spree for mostly durarara merch. i do get like, pretty invested in some of the games connor plays in the moment though, like super mario rpg went hard (such a charming game) and still thinking about detective grimoire which he played for like 10 minutes i wish he’d play for more. i do just watch that guy a lot. i’ve also got genshin back in the schedule again (sorry) and am pretty into the card game, which oddly enough is making me feel like reading some fic.
i am afraid to tag mutuals that apparently follow me because i barely post anything on here like you said but we should harass @euclidpaws more into posting too because i haven’t seen them say a word. @rosa-maltz @stray-tori i talk to you guys enough and we are registered mutuals you can do this if you want.
