#this is so unoriginal and uninspired

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

Since your most likely not gonna continue Lights Out, could we get some of the lore for it you haven't gotten the chance to reveal?? If you still wanna keep it on the down low that's understandable too!

hmmm i don't know! i wouldn't know where to Start, not that there's all that much... by the time i stopped thinking about it it was still full of holes and a bit Vague plot-wise for a solid chunk of it

#'stopped thinking about it' i will admit. #i have been thinking about what i would change given our updated knowledge #but like. there's not enough to Fix The Problems! #so. putting her on a shelf! sadly! #lights out is reserved for my indulgent brain thinkings #bedtime story... #wh lights out au #rambles from the bog #some lore some lore... it was rather uninspired looking back on it #very basic i think! which is part of what disheartened me - it was just... unoriginal and boring to me in the end #but hm... what could i say that would Not inspire a slew of asks about it... #well my initial butterfly howdy thoughts were For This Au for one #ummm Home sacrifices itself for Wally. uhhhhh #eddie has to learn how to use the internet.... sally made wally a heart-shaped rainbow patch for his missing eye <3 #hm hm hm. the pit was a portal activated by sunlight #etc etc there was a lot </3

It’s funny (not actually) how in 5x18 Buck finally defines what love is, seems to have a good grasp of it now, as well as perfectly describing what his relationship is with Eddie (that we the audience can clearly see). This was honestly a great set up to bring Buck and Eddie together romantically in season 6, and yet. 

Instead by the end of season 6 they shoved Buck with, as far as we were shown, someone who - sure granted has only been on maybe 4 dates with Buck - but doesn’t actually seem to understand Buck at all. We also, let’s be honest, don’t know anything about Natalia beyond her job. And Eddie was shoved with someone he met on a call and helped him find glue in a hardware store. Wow, such fun and compelling romantic stories, am I right? 🙃

#911 critical #9-1-1 #wow I'm still glad there is a long break #until the new season (as long as nothing is canceled b/c of corporate greed) #don't mind me just still feeling salty 🤙 #the current 'ending' for Buck and Eddie #is so uninspired and unoriginal it's. wild #911 salt #<-- I'll use this tag as well I guess

just got off the phone with my oldest and dearest friend and we had a great talk bc she's engaged! and then she recommended me carry on 😭 girl...there is literally nothing appealing to me about a rebranded drarry/destiel fanfiction im sorry

#besides my dislike of both the peices of media its based off #all of the characters involved #AND the author for being a bad writer and atrociously racist #the setting is deeply uninspired and unoriginal #literally another wizarding school? if you're not uklg then leave off #and I don't CARE about chosen one stories I think they really suck. #the worldbuilding does something slightly interesting ig but it would never stand up to serious interrogation #and I know now that it gets ableist in later books #and there are so many works on my to-read list for real books and for fic and for manga #like. actually good stuff #cor.txt

It's a mix of The Truman Show / Stepford Wives. It has been done before, so you're right in saying that!

exactly it’s okay to have references in your film when they’re artfully and meaningfully done but this is soooooooo similar like did any creativity go into the production at all??

#it just feels so unoriginal and uninspired in a frustrating way #there was potential but i think they pulled too much from films they were inspired by making it just. a mess #anonymous

In the fastfood zosan au, Sanji only works there because Zeff thinks he should get some work experience before he makes him a cook at hos restaurant.

Zoro knows first hand how amazing his cooking is but the girls don't. Still, they decided to humour him one time while he was flirting with them, and accepted the invitation to dinner. Nami brought her girlfriend Vivi and Robin brought Franky.

They all say on the table, waiting for Sanji to finish up his dishes. They chat for a bit and Zoro mentions that he hadn't eaten lunch so he can have more room for Sanji's cooking. Nami is surprised because in her mind his cooking would be like in the fast food place - bland, basic and uninspired. But when she said that, both Zoro and Franky looked at her with such offence she was shocked.

Sanji finally came out of the kitchen and with three swift back and forth's he set the table. It was the single most delicious meal Nami had tasted in her life. She wanted to compliment him on his cooking but it seemed every time she looked at him he was occupied with his boyfriend.

First he was nagging on him about his table manners. Then he was wiping his face with a napkin. After that it was him just straight up feeding Zoro as if he couldn't do it himself. She was scared how much it could escalate so she decided not to bother trying.

Something she couldn't help but notice was that at some point a black haired kid who's name she thinks is Luffy came over. He started eating everything as of someone would take it from him. And then little by little the rest came.

A short child named Chopper joined. Everyone seemed so happy to see him, it was almost contagious. Then a ridiculously tall skinny man, who looked way too much like The King of Soul - Brook. Turned out he was also a musician... odd coincidence... A guy Nami had seen around a lot - Usopp joined a bit before another oddly familiar face came along. Someone who looked a bit like a politician from the neighboring county that retired a while ago, Junbe she thinks was his name.

Suddenly, with all these people cramped into the small appointment, it made sense to why Sanji made this absurdly large amount of food. And of course, Zoro used the excuse of not having enough place to sit to pull Sanji into his lap. It was an obvious and unoriginal trick but it worked...

During the loud dinner, Nami found out a couple of things. For one - Sanji was actually the foster child of the thrice Michelin star awarded cheff Zeff. Luffy had to pay bail for Ace after he destroyed some guy's car for disrespecting his parental figure. Zoro had asked Zeff for Sanji's hand the very first time they met and he refused to give his blessings ten times before agreeing on conditions that Zoro promised to keep secret. She also found out that the kid in question - Chopper had skipped three grades and wants to go to med school.

Most of all, she was amazed at how homie and welcoming these people were, even though she met half of them for the first time that same night.

“You really thought you were so smart.” Villain circled the Hero who could do nothing but dangle from their bound wrists. They snatched slips of paper from Hero’s pockets, looking them over with a grin, “Blueprints, statistics, research papers… even the schedule for guard shifts. You were truly prepared.” Villain tsked, “It’s a shame it was never enough.”

Hero’s eyes narrowed, “So what now? You’ll keep me hostage, torture me?”

“Oh please. I would never be so unoriginal. Uninspiring. Y’see Hero, there’s one thing about me you can’t quite seem to grasp.”

“And what is that?” Hero jerked away from the Villain’s touch, though failed to escape the hand that closed around their throat. A choked gasp slipped between their lips, much to the Villain’s amusement.

They leaned close, breath hot against the Hero’s ear as their grip loosened ever so slightly. “The files you were looking for- the proof of all I’ve done- it’s in the third filing cabinet on the fifth floor. There’s a code to unlock the drawer, that being my date of birth. Inside is all the information you could ever need.”

“Why would you tell me all of this?”

“Because,” the Villain chuckled, “it will die with you.”

At this Hero’s eyes widened, though even their rising panic couldn’t stop the fingers that tightened around their neck. Their fingers flexed helplessly in their cuffs. Desperately Hero trashed in the Villain’s hold, gasping if only to steal another breath. Their lungs burned and they felt their eyelids grow heavy.

“N-no” Hero wheezed. Their skin had gained a bluish tinge and their arms strained above them as their body grew heavy. Eyelids fluttered and Hero fought back the wave of drowsiness that threatened to pull them under. It was no use.

Villain released the Hero just as they went limp. Another secret, buried along with the one who had tried to take it.

I guess one could argue that penne holds sauce the best, but it loses points for being unoriginal and uninspired. So what you're a tube. Where's the flair. Rotini all the way baby.

[md-confessions]

this may be a scalding take or a lukewarm one idk but in my opinion, i'm not that fond of Nori and Uzi being almost exactly the same. like yeah it's cute that Uzi takes after her mom, but now that we've actually met Nori, it makes Uzi feel like she never had any actual personality of her own. her signature "bite me" catchphrase isn't even hers either, she got it from Nori. the sass, the edge, the style, the interests, it's now all Nori's to begin with and Uzi just got it from her. it also feels a little lazy, like instead of making Nori unique and giving notable differences between her and her daughter, she's basically just Uzi but older. i don't *hate* the fact that they're so similar, but the problem is that they're *too* similar and that, in the end, blurs the line between them, making them both feel unoriginal/uninspired. ofc Uzi is still my favorite character and i still like Nori too but...idk, there was just so much more that could be done with Nori personality-wise but instead they just made her Uzi 2.0

We asked around about Up and coming artist snottynep / “Nep” and yep she’s fake and manipulative 

Nep full name Nikki Anderson is a female musician who has recently become semi- popular in the music industry. Unfortunately, her fame is undeserved. Her music is vapid, unimaginative, and unoriginal. It lacks the depth and emotion that true music should have. Nep's lyrics are shallow and often lack substance. Her songs lack the poetic depth of real lyricists, instead opting for simple rhymes and cheesy hooks. Her music is often repetitive and monotonous, and it fails to capture the listener's attention. Furthermore, Nep's musical style is uninspired and formulaic. She has no unique sound or identity; instead, she seems content to follow the same trends as other popular bedroom artists such as Clairo and has been accused of stealing Claire Cottril’s whole image and flow. She has failed to create something truly original and instead relies on the same tired beats and melodies that everyone else is using. Finally, Her lack of stage presence and authenticity makes her feel like a chore. Nep is a prime example of the type of artist who is popularized solely due to their looks and not their talent. Her music fails to inspire and lacks any real emotion. As an artist, she has failed to create anything truly unique and memorable. 

We asked around the industry with people she’s worked with and talked with in the past to see if she’s really nice like some blogs claim and it’s really just something she does for show she’s a fake nice girl it seems she has mentally abused male and female artists she worked with and used them once she gets what she wants she ghosts people and moves on to the next person 

people like this in the music industry absolutely sicken me I wanna thank everyone who brought this to my attention and other media outlets her hype will hopefully simmer down in 2023. 

i did wanna add that we don’t know about the integrity of her music stats she seems industry plantish to say the least her music on Spotify does decent and SoundCloud is dead so I won’t include that platform but those are the only two platforms she’s doing well on. Audiomack Youtube,Deezer really all other platforms she has no presence for someone with almost 40k ig followers while I was writing this at the time it’s very suspicious to see an artist with under 800 subscribers on YouTube and under 10k views on YouTube???? I don’t know one year wonder maybe? 

My Advice to her would be don’t burn bridges the same people you spit in the face of on the way up are the same people you see on the way down 

and even though it seems big the entertainment industry is small and once you have a bad reputation no one will sign you or work with you

"Truth or dare!"

"...are we really doing this?" Laura asks incredulously and Trish rolls her eyes, "C'mon, it'll be fun!"

"Yeah! Besides, it's kind of a camp tradition!" Bruce adds excitedly, "About halfway through the season, all the counselors," he gestures all around them to signal to the fact that, indeed, they're all here, "sneak away after the kids are asleep and we play!"

"Okay, but you also said it's a camp tradition for the last counselor who shows up to go swim naked in the lake." Laura glares at him when she says this and - apparently - this is news to everyone present as they turn to Bruce with scowls.

"... can't blame a guy for trying." He admits softy and Nancy swats out at him, earning herself an 'ouch!' one she rolls her eyes at, "I barely hit you, you baby!"

"David, your girlfriend hit me!" Bruce whines.

"That wasn't a hit." David argues before unceremoniously hitting Bruce upside the back of his head to get an even louder cry of pain, "This is a hit!"

"You bastards!" Bruce cries and Vicki edges closer to him, "Aw! Poor baby! Let me kiss it better!"

The baby-ish voice she uses makes Laura's nose wrinkle in disgust almost as much as the kiss Vicki delivers to Bruce's cheek does. Trish pointedly clears her throat, "ANYWAY, the skinny dipping might be bullshit, but the Truth or Dare isn't, so - Laura, Truth or Dare?"

Laura looks at the group around her and lets out a defeated sigh. She's sure she wouldn't have had to do something so cliche at the summer camp in the present - if she'd been able to go to the summer camp in the present. Still, she relents, "Um, truth?"

"Do you have the hots for ol' Trav here?" Trish forks a thumb in Travis's direction and Travis looks as if he's been slapped, eyes wide circles, cheeks bright pink.

Oh no, Laura's not falling for this (And it's not as if she's unsure of the answer... because she totally is! She knows how she feels about Travis and - a few kisses aside - it's not that) and she quickly changes tack, "Okay then, dare."

"Oh ho, ho ho! And I thought I got hit!" Bruce cries as Travis deflates and Laura feels like shit and hates that she feels like shit only for Trish to counter with, "Fine then. Take your panties off and give them to the cutest guy here."

"Trish!" Nancy hisses, scandalized, and both David and Angela look disapproving. Vicki looks ecstatic and Bruce has one of his hands held out, clearly expecting Laura to deposit her underwear in them.

And Travis?

Travis looks sad. And small. And all because Laura tried to side step the truth question.

...goddamn it.

Laura shoots daggers Trish's way but Trish, if anything, looks as if Laura's reaction is just what she hoped for, "I mean, you don't have to...if you're chicken."

The last is such an unoriginal, childish, uninspired insult. Laura could care less. Vicki's added chicken clucks and wing flaps more so. Fuck this! Laura should just leave! Just walk off!

But Trish just looks so boastful and Bruce (hand still out) so smug and Vicki so vindictive and the other three so sorry and Travis! Travis is the worst with that hangdog expression that somehow manages to pierce the armor she thought she had around her heart to the point where Laura just throws up her hands and cries, "Fine!"

The word thunders out of her even as she leaps to her feet and charges off into the darkness of the woods behind them. Laura doesn't even struggle much with her shorts or her underwear, just quickly peels the two pieces of clothing off and puts only the one back on before marching back towards the campfire.

Bruce's open hand does the 'gimme' gesture even as Laura approaches Travis and, with a heavy sigh, she reaches down and grabs one of his hands. Travis's eyes shoot up to hers, even wider than before, his round glasses almost highlighting their size as she pushes his fingers open and presses her panties into his palm.

Travis holds them as if, with the slightest movement, it'll spell danger for him. As if they're a bomb with a hairpin trigger, his whole body rigid, even as Laura turns to Trish and asks acidly, "This answer your truth question too?"

Trish preens, clearly thinking she's clever.

It takes all of Laura's willpower to remind herself that she's only a murderer under dire circumstances. She turns her attention to Nancy, "You can have my turn."

Nancy just blinks blankly and then clears her throat, "Oh! Um? Travis?"

His wide eyes swing to her.

"Truth or Dare?"

"Ah? Dare?"

"I dare you to return Laura's property."

Laura recognizes Nancy's intention and appreciates it. She appreciates it even more when Travis holds his hand up, his expression meek and apologetic and so stupidly cute that Laura can't help but shake her head, her voice soft as she says, "No, Travis. You keep it."

She curls his fingers around it, almost holding his hand as she does so, "I dare you."

Travis swallows thickly, Adam's apple visibly working and this is exactly why the kisses keep happening. However, Laura resists this time, retaking her seat even as David nudges Travis, "Hey man, it's your turn."

Travis holds the panties closer, a tic in his jaw and a sudden light in his eyes that Laura recognizes. It's one his older self would occasionally carry, one that hinted to his temper but she knows it's not directed at her and the heat of it...

...god, she's so fucked up! The way she finds it attractive...

Especially when it's turned in Bruce's direction and she hears, "Bruce, Truth or Dare?"

Bruce, clearly not thinking Travis is capable of anything truly terrible, crosses his arms and boasts, "Dare, baby! I'm no chicken! I'll do whatever you want!"

"Good. I dare you to go swim naked in the lake."

(A mixture of ideas from my post asking for inspiration! Might add more to this to do more of them 😍)

[1-up-chump]

Hello, I share your indignation about the new part of MK. Everything was changed too much and strangely. Can you write down the moments you didn't like? For example, I’m not happy with this whole situation with Kuai Liang - Scorpion, Tarkata - a disease, Raiden - Liu Kang 2.0, Fujin - Raiden’s sister, who is Kung Lao’s lover, seriously?

I WILL STATE that i have not bothered to look at everything myself but hear from reliable sources of the basic information of the game so i cannot give a full and fair critique. And i will not give this game anymore attention than i already have given it since it is just NOT a mortal kombat game.

Lets talk about the reasons you listed bc i agree.

Kuai liang as scorpion and in role reversal:

I am not a fan of this even remotely being "canon" Although the idea should be explored by fans WHO UNDERSTAND BOTH KUAI LIANG AND HANZO HASASHI AS CHARACTERS ORIGINALLY. It completely disrespects hanzo as a character and erases his connection to scorpion being a "gimmick thing to slap onto someone" as a title rather than a personal journey of meaning. And kuai deserves more respect as well, originally being an assassin whose clan tried to "modernize" by removing free will of warriors to ensure obedience and make their spirits and talents disposable. Trying to fight against that. It seems ironic in the end his fate is nothing more than to be toyed with by this unoriginal and uninspiring "role swap au lolz"

The tarkatan race being a disease:

I shouldn't even have to clarify how fucked up this is. Right after in mk 11 we saw tarkatans just being another race living in outworld minding their own business, and kotal fucking up (kotal khan is a wasted character but thats for another post) so we got what was once a "bad guy evil race" to something better. AND THEN THEY FUCKED IT UP AGAIN like isnt that, at best, the most tone deaf shit after what happened in real life with a certain disease and people being uber racist??? And dont get me started on how they messed up mileena with that too. (God damn the writers fucking hate her just as much as kung lao)

Raiden role reversal:

Let me tell you as a raiden enjoyer i fucking HATE them making him a basic ass protag like they did with liu kang (i love liu but lately they just removed all personality from him) its so fucking uninspiring and boring as shit AND THEY MAKE HIM CHAMPION INSTEAD OF KUNG LAO???? THE ABSOLUTE DISRESPECT WHAT THE FUCK i love raiden but he doesn't deserve champion title, that belongs to KUNG motherfucking LAO.

Fujin being a sister????:

Listen i havent seen it but this is the dumbest ass shit i have ever seen in my entire life. As if they couldn't show how little they actually care about fujin......

And the shallow fans who care little about fujin other than a "pretty fuck toy to do teh yaois with uwu" which is also what they did to shang tsung now which is like YOU FOOLS! CARY HIROYUKI TAGAWA-SAMA IS RIGHT FUCKING THERE!!! YOU SEXUALIZE HIM WHEN HE'S AN OLD MAN TOO OR YOU'RE A COWARD AND A SHAM!

And then there's the absolute nothing plot that really shows they ran out of ideas and just slap together bullshit. The villains arent really villains and they suck, its just "stop evil shang tsung but hes not actually evil bc theres this other timeline-" ITS FUCKING LAZY AND PATHETIC WRITING it shows that they want to have it all just to appease fans to take their money. Thats it, thats all this story boils down to. A shoddy scam to bullshit a story to take people's money. I mean you cant even get shang tsung or marjory of fan desired characters without dlc and the base game is like 60-70 bucks like the fuck????

As a regular fighting game? Mid but enjoyable i guess. But as a mortal kombat game? No, thats not even mortal kombat thats just some dumbasses wattpad fanfic after they watched avengers endgame in their crusty batman shirt

I'll end this with a small side note: if my opinions offend, I'm sorry im passionate about a series that was a part of my childhood and made me appreciate Japanese and Chinese culture and kung fu cinema in general. Im sorry if the memories of playing a fun game and caring about the characters having strong bonds of friendship in a violent world designed to be a "kill or be killed" system and despite that choosing to do the right thing in their mind.

Sorry if i seem to be playing a different game bc i am.

Its mortal kombat: shaolin monks for the ps2

-gets head ripped off-

#plz play it its legit fun and stupid as hell #its not the best mk in terms of plot but its got so much love and soul into it #also play mk deadly alliance too its fun #rant #and watch the shitty defenders of the realm cartoon it has the best raiden and nightwolf is in it too #and watch the 95 movie NOW for the best raiden shang tsung and liu kang #and watch conquest if you want to stomach through late 90s tv cringe and for the best raiden ever in the history of ever

5 Songs Tag - QL Shows Edition

Tagged by @lurkingshan who seems content to torture me in to picking favorites.

Rules of the Game:

When you get this, list 5 songs from the Asian QL shows that you actually listen to.

🎶They do not have to be custom-made for the series. 🎶Non-western tracks only. Let's support Asian music and languages! 🎶Feel free to tag anyone who may be interested in participating.

🎶Add #5qls tag to your post for others to find the new favourites!

Unfortunately for everyone, I'm not the best person to do this challenge, as I think 3/5 of the songs I tend to listen to on repeat are My School President songs and that feels uninspired and unoriginal, so I'm only going to pick one of them and figure the rest out.

เพลงรัก (Hook) by Gemini Norawit- My School President

There is just something about this song that itches part of my brain. I get hung up on it, like I would have to listen to it about four times in a row before I could listen to anything else. It's so fun, and I love that there are so many plays on other songs in the lyrics. Hands down my favorite My School President song and definitely the Asian QL song I have listened to the most.

เพียงไว้ใจ (Free Fall) by Slot Machine - KinnPorsche

This song is the other Asian QL show song that I love, honestly I think this one is fully my favorite to listen to, I just have Hook first because I listen to it more often. But let me tell you, blasting this song in my car and headbanging to it before or after I drive somewhere is SO. MUCH. FUN. I have 300% headbanged to this song as a form of stress relief and would highly recommend others try it.

遠い国 (Tooikuni) by Daiki Ueno- Our Dining Table

It's just so sweet, I like the melody and also Our Dining Table is one of my favorite shows, so it is nice to have this song as a reminder.

너와 나 우리 (You N Me N Us) by Wetter - The Eighth Sense

Honestly, the entire soundtrack for The Eighth Sense is a bop. They do very successfully create the surfer vibes with their soundtrack.

รักคุณยิ่งกว่าใคร (Ruk Koon Ying Gwah Krai) by NuNew [originated by Got Jakraphan] - Cutie Pie 2 You

Thanks to @recentadultburnout I have learned that this song is a type of Thai country music called phleng luk thung (เพลงลูกทุ่ง). When I heard this song for the first time, I was struck with the realization that I might never have heard a song of this type or style before and I thought it was so interesting and fun. I love the runs that NuNew does in this song, and honestly I might try to seek out other phleng luk thung songs just to see if this is a style I enjoy. Because I certainly loved this song.

Tagging @so-much-yet-to-learn, @neuroticbookworm, @waitmyturtles, and @recentadultburnout

[struggle-but-its-all-ocean-floor]

Golden review, let's go:

3D (Feat. Jack Harlow) - Just hearing Jack Harlow's voice along with Jungkook's gives me the creeps. God. His voice is so boring and he's so boring and gross. Ugh. The alternate version is a million times better, it's embarrassing for Jungkook to have such bad judgement. 7/10 because Harlow ruins the song so bad, and maybe I'm being generous.

Closer To You (feat. Major Lazor) - Jungkook's English accent is particularly noticeable in the beginning. It's a pretty meh song, basic and repetitive, but at least it's short. The instrumental should've been stronger. I'd say the chorus is the best part - it's pretty. 7/10

Seven (feat. Latto) (Explicit Ver.) - The lesser of the Seven versions but might be the best song in the album after the clean version. The instrumental is really pretty. The cringe lyrics, though, are really not it. 8/10.

Standing Next To You - Eh... I like the novelty of hearing Jungkook sing differently like this, but it's also like he's copying someone else, and not finding his own voice like he has mentioned he wants to do - it feels like he's not trying out genres as much as imitating other popular artists in order to be popular as well. The song is MJ coded in a way that's both gross and extremely unoriginal. His "uh uh"s in the end are awful. Also, the lyrics are meh too. 7.5/10

Yes or No - Typical pop crap. Except for the humming at the end, the vocals are particularly underwhelming. 6.5/10

Please Don't Change (feat. DJ Snake) - how much boring EDM does this album need? The chorus is somewhat interesting but the instrumental is just too basic. 7/10

Hate You - Oh, a pretty song in the album. That was unexpected, but I don't like the chorus. It was so good until the chorus. The verses are nice and I like Jungkook's voice, but sadly the song never developed properly 7.2/10

Somebody - This song is nice, Jungkook's vocals are different in the beginning. I like the chorus. Might be my favorite bside for now. 7.4/10

Too Sad To Dance - It's nice and has PTD vibes, but it's not really my vibe either. It's somewhat refreshing in the album. 7.3/10

Shot Glass of Tears - Typical pop ballad... But from 10 years ago? It does build up nicely and get much better over time. But it's nothing special either and the end is a bit anticlimactic. 7.3/10.

Seven (feat. Latto) (Clean Ver.) - Still probably the strongest song in the album. At least it stands out. The clean version is 0.5 points superior to the explicit one, minimum. 8.5/10

Overall, I couldn't be bothered paying attention to the lyrics, because they were pretty uninspired in general and I don't care for romantic lyrics. Also, Jungkook's accent was pretty solid but sometimes it wasn't easy to understand what he was saying. The album had an adequate flow, but the songs weren't great. Nothing about the album stands out. It's a pretty basic album. 6.5/10

I'll listen to the album again after I sleep a couple more hours. I'm not disappointed because I didn't expect much, but in many ways this is the worst chapter 2 album.

i think my hot take was a little too hot for wizard101 twitter

anyway, the references take me out of the immersion and so many storylines in the game rely on existing media and feels unoriginal and uninspired

#wizard101 #w101 #wizzy fandom #wallaru #twitter #like am i the only one who isn’t a fan #i enjoy some of them #but it just feels so forced and awkward #just tone down the references for like five minutes

If you had to recommend one activity/interaction for people to have during their playthrough of Disco Elysium, what would it be and why?

I feel like Disco Elysium works best if you roleplay while surrendering your control to the dice and committing to the bit. It's a way to play it and there's no right way to play it, but it helps

My favorite moments in the game are mandatory as part of the story (the rooftop where Volition senses betrayal or the events on the island) or aren't too difficult to get

For instance Harry decided he wanted to do karaoke on my first morning and so I made sure I did karaoke and it was fulfilling!

I hate to be unoriginal and uninspired but the church quest was my favorite in the game even though we're pretty vocal about not liking The Pale

So the benefits of committing to the bit and trusting the dice is that you'll fuck up and just play your Harry based on that fuck up-- luckily your conscience, Kim Kitsuragi, is always there to help you if you feel too bad by being impressionable and letting people talk you down some bad paths

I keep finding new things every time I play the game this way because try as I might, bits of me pour into my characters in immersive RPGs-- I can't play FONV and side with Caesar, I can't do it-- I can't play VtM:B and let Heather Poe die (I mod my game specifically to avoid it, even)

With Disco Elysium failure is built into the mix and to embrace that is to allow yourself to become a unique and inimitable version of Harry rather than let Harry become you

Even then I still mess up-- I have never allowed Harry to abuse drink or drugs in my runs because of my personal hang-ups (an issue I have in FONV too) and I can't do the dialogue options that leads to Harry threatening the union workers by putting a gun in his mouth

I have limits sadly and in a world of options I just can't pick some of them because of who I am, even if I find the writing behind that scene or Kim scaring the racism out of the Icebreaker to be objectively hilarious

To answer the question in full:

Do the payphone, that was likely my favorite optional moment in the game and it stung in a beautiful way

Do the church quest, no matter how difficult it may be

Do karaoke because Harry really wants to do karaoke

Kuno is the best and we love him, but you're a stronger person than we are if you can stomach getting the Kuno ending
