Why do I tell people to play indie games?
K' so you may have seen that post I made a little while ago asking people reblog and put into the tags an indie game that they did NOT like.
I made that post because I wanted to hear about what indie games people had bad experiences with. There was another post I made saying "Tell me you don't play indie games without telling me you don't play indie games" in response to a ton of youtube videos saying modern video games are no longer fun. A lot of tags would say, "Well indie games can suck too!" This response was extremely silly to me and I wanted to know what games they could be talking about.
I didn't ask for it, but so many people starting explaining why they didn't like a certain game. So I decided to make a little pie chart with the reason people would give in the tags
Tumblr media
There are some outliers not here. There were 5 tags saying a game offended them and some responses that were too specific to really count. Half of the posts also gave no explanations so I'm not going to act like this is representative of every response on that post.
Okay so what's the point? Why did I do this?
There's this one 30 minute video by Josh Strife Hayes that does a super good job showcasing all of the bad practices that happen with modern gaming. He talks about each issue thoroughly, but I'll list them here:
Microtransactions, Limited Progression, Invite Boosts, Premium Currency, Loyalty Programs, Selling Power, Battlepasses, and Selling Progression
He doesn't even mention other issues like games releasing in clearly unfinished states, games that are clearly chasing trends, and game developers being restricted by their publishers.
Why is this significant? Well answer me this: Was there a single tag response in my post that complains about an indie game doing these things?
Say what you want about indie games, but I bet you didn't pay $60 and got psychologically manipulated to spend more on that game. I bet you weren't getting manipulated by some free to play model to spend more money than you would on a normal game. I bet the game actually released in a finished state and even if it did, the game clearly communicated it wasn't done.
Sure, you could give me examples of indie games that do have those bad practices, but I guarantee you that you cannot prove that most indie games do this.
So yeah, play indie games. Don't support corporate bullshit unless you know the game was made with the player's best interest in mind.

Werewolf AU for Halloween but it’s Francis and Matthew because they both fucked up but what else is new. Okay, maybe this one is, aside from Frank not expecting there’s children almost being eaten to nothing, and he ran out of bullets amidst this God damn freakish attack (also, by the way, how the hell is that thing still moving even after I threw grenades at it many times? FUCK.) AND of course Mr. Martyr Complex kept insisting he’s faster and he’s wearing a thick full-body armor so he’s going to distract and hold back that- whatever that huge wolf-mutant thing, so take the kids and get the hell away, Frank! Go! GO!!! 
Because the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen is going to be fine. Melvin’s suit will protect him. Nothing will get through easily-
(He ended up getting mauled half to death, so he’s not fine, like, at all. Alas, but at least he found out that he can eat a whole farm - just the animals, by the way - without having to season and cook them first, and it’s enough to stifle this clawing irrational hunger inside of him whenever full moon arrives.)
His only problem now is probably that the punisher thinks he owes him his life, somehow. Which leads next to Frank tempting, coaxing, even begging at him (can you believe the punisher begging at him?) to eat at least a couple of these criminals he dragged back alive to their safe house, like a cat with a bird in between its teeth, because The Devil’s growing weak each passing time, and Frank believes it’s most likely because of Matt not actually eating like a werewolf (since that’s what he is now. Jfc.)
Anyways....... ID: An Illustration of Frank Castle and Matt Murdock standing close, chest to chest. Frank Castle is beaten up, looking tired, face mostly covered in blood, holding Matt’s wrist because Matt is about to turn into a werewolf and desperately wants to get away from him. Matt says, before he bites his bottom lip until it bleeds, “GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME, FRANK!!!” to which Frank responds morosely with, “Listen. That guy is a piece of shit, Red. You gonna die if you keep being like this-” but Matt quickly cuts him off with, “Oh, I’d rather that than eating a living person, Frank.” End of ID.

Prompt ask! 😍
"I need you, though"
guess who went to the zoo today i went to the zoo today so this is the premise of my zookeeper au in ficlet form
(1.6k) (warning: himbo obi-wan)
Obi-Wan Kenobi is leaning against the post of the goat pin, watching him.
Anakin doesn’t quite know what to do about that, and he decides to table the issue until he has  a moment to shoo the man away.
What he can’t figure out is why Obi-Wan Kenobi is here. They’ve never talked. Until this very moment, he hadn’t realized Obi-Wan Kenobi even knew who he was, but when he turns his head slightly to the side to peek over at him, it’s definitely him that he’s looking at.
Of course he knows who Obi-Wan Kenobi is though. He’s one of the best zookeepers in the Coruscant Zoo—and probably the most recognizable. After all, he’s the head of the team that works with the big cats, and everyone comes to the zoo to see the lions and tigers be fed and sleep. And whatever else the lions and tigers do.
It probably helps that the guy feeding them and playing with them is undeniably also probably handsomest man in all of Coruscant.
Maybe not, Anakin doesn’t know.
What Anakin does know is that it’s very hard to look in Obi-Wan’s direction without imagining beard burn on his thighs, a fact of life that’s thus far not mattered much.
But now he’s surrounded by little children, exhausted moms, and goats, sheep, rabbits, and ponies. Arousal is not one of the feelings he should be having at this moment.
He throws the fresh hay down by the stable and wipes the sweat off his forehead. He needs to get Obi-Wan Kenobi to leave because he probably has—like, an actual job to do. He’s wearing his zookeeping jumpsuit, which means he probably should be on the other side of the zoo, prodding sleeping lions or petting tigers.
He’s probably scaring the bunnies, smelling all like big cat and predator and sandalwood cologne with just a hint of spice—
Look, it’s normal that Anakin knows what Obi-Wan Kenobi smells like. They’ve passed each other in the hall before, at work events. He’s pretty sure Obi-Wan Kenobi has come out of the bathroom right before Anakin went in a few times too, so it’s not like it’s abnormal to know how the guy smells.
And the most important thing is he can’t be smelling like that around Anakin’s babies, because they’re probably terrified and they have to put up with enough with all the snot-nosed brats that come in and try to pull their tails or ears.
On his way over to Obi-Wan Kenobi, he sees a little girl in a princess dress doing just that with Cinny-Minny Bun Bun, which is a crime too grievous to go unpunished, so he redirects his body immediately to snatch the poor bunny away from the girl’s grubby little fingers. “You’ll hurt her doing that,” Anakin chides in a perfectly polite sort of voice, cuddling the bunny to his chest. Cinny is quivering. “What if someone came up and pulled on your ears? How would you like that?”
The little girl looks at him for two seconds before promptly bursting into tears. Internally, Anakin rolls his eyes. Kids cry about everything, but they especially don’t like being told that they can’t torture small animals.
Psychopaths, all of them.
He keeps Cinny against his chest as he turns away from the kid and finishes his trek over to Obi-Wan, who is giving him a very unimpressed raised eyebrow.
“You can’t be here, you’re scaring the animals with your—big cat scent,” he says once they’re face to face, separated by the posts of the fence around the petting zoo. 
“You’re scaring the children,” Obi-Wan Kenobi points out, which may be the first words he’s ever said to him directly.
Anakin scowls and adjusts his hold on Cinny-Minny. “Children are the worst.”
Now Obi-Wan is smiling slightly, which is a really good look for him. “Your job hinges upon being able to work with animals and children, and—and, Mr. Skywalker, that was a very disappointing display I just witnessed. I understand thata you’re still grieving the unexpected loss of your wife, but you have to keep your personal life from affecting your work, or we’ll be forced to terminate your contract with Coruscant Zoo. I’ll be making a note of this incident in your file for your performance review at the end of the month.”
This is all said very sternly and with a self-assured yet disapproving tone.
But Anakin thinks he’d probably notice if he had a wife and also if she died tragically. He blinks at Obi-Wan and wonders if the man is having a stroke. He’s also pretty sure Obi-Wan can’t actually fire him.
He could probably sic the big cats on him though, which is less than optimal.
“Uh,” Anakin settles on saying.
Obi-Wan’s eyes dart away from his face and then back to him before he breaks out into a grin. “Sorry, the mother of the child you traumatized was coming over looking rather unhappy. I thought if I told you off for your outlandish and boarish behavior, she wouldn’t feel the need to. And she’s turned back now, so. You’re welcome.”
Anakin blinks. “Me and my dead wife thank you,” he finally says. “You need to go though. They can probably smell Split Pea all over you.”
“I don’t actually roll around with the lion as much as you may think I do,” Obi-Wan says, and both of his eyebrows are raised.
“Oh, of course. That’s just the tigers.”
“Chowder and Gumbo enjoy my company, but for the most part I do stay out of all of my enclosures. They’re big cats, not exactly petting zoo material.”
“Which is why you need to leave,” Anakin says again, in case Obi-Wan didn’t hear that part. “You’re scaring Cinny-Minny.”
“Cinny-Minny.”
“Cinnamon Minerva Bun Bun.”
Now it’s Obi-Wan’s turn to blink. “Ah. Of course.”
“All your animals are named after soups,” Anakin says defensively. “Don’t throw stones.”
Obi-Wan looks amused, which is also a very good look on him, the fucker. “I didn’t say anything,” he points out.
Anakin scowls and clutches Cinny close. He’s ninety percent sure she’s fallen asleep.
“You need to leave,” he reiterates. “I need you though,” Obi-Wan says, and then looks slightly horrified. “Your hands. No, sorry. I mean—” it’s the first time this entire conversation that Obi-Wan Kenobi has been flustered, and Anakin would be enjoying it a lot more if he could think past all the mental images of what Obi-Wan could use his hands for.
“That,” Obi-Wan finally spits out, looking mortified as he rubs a hand over his face and uses his other one to gesture at—
Anakin blinks down at Cinny. “My bunny?”
Does Obi-Wan think the petting zoo animals are like class pets that the employees can go home with? How did he get such an erroneous conception and also why is Anakin sort of jealous of a rabbit right now?
“Yes,” Obi-Wan says. “Well, no.”
“Thanks for clearing that one up,” Anakin says gamely. “Want to try again?”
Obi-Wan sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose, like Anakin is the one being difficult here. “I…am in need of your expertise.”
“My expertise. In…bunnies?”
“Yes,” Obi-Wan snaps. Anakin blinks at him. “I—my friend is out of town for a month, and he asked me to pet sit for him. And I think I’m killing the rabbit.”
This is pretty alarming actually.
“What?”
“It’s not eating anything and it just—sits in its hutch. I haven’t seen it eat any of the food I’ve left out, and it’s like. Shaking?” Obi-Wan crosses his arms. “I’m worried I’ve given it a terrible case of seasonal depression, honestly, but my friend’s daughter will literally never forgive me if I kill her rabbit.”
Anakin thinks he probably agrees with the friend’s daughter, and something like that may flash across his face because it’s Obi-Wan’s turn to scowl.
“I’ve tried everything that works for my cats,” he says. “Nothing. I’m running out of ideas, Anakin.”
This is the first time Obi-Wan’s said his name, and Anakin finds himself half-distracted by how much he enjoys the way it sounds in his voice. But more importantly: “Wait, sorry, did you—did you, what, give the bunny extra bloody meat? Put the food on a stick and wriggle it around to encourage its predator instincts to come out and play?”
Obi-Wan’s silent for a moment too long.
“Oh my god,” Anakin says before bursting into laughter so fierce that he has to shove Cinny into Obi-Wan’s hands just to clutch his own stomach.
Obi-Wan holds the bunny like he’s holding a lit stick of dynamite, and it only makes Anakin laugh harder. This is a man who routinely walks into small spaces already inhabited by clawed and fanged predators and scratches them behind the ears, but the fluffy bunny in his hands looks as if it may break him.
“Alright, thank you,” Obi-Wan says, sounding more than a little put-out and ticked off. “Alright.”
Anakin’s laughter finally peters out, and he takes Cinny Minny back from Obi-Wan before he can give the rabbit PTSD or anything. “Okay,” he hears himself say, which is weird because he hasn’t thought at all about the actual request, unable to think past the mental image of Obi-Wan trying to find a bunny the way he feeds his lions. “Yeah, okay. Do you need just like—advice or. Pet websites? A blog forum?” “Come over,” Obi-Wan demands. “I learn best through hands-on demonstration.”
Anakin doesn’t say any of the five things that come to mind because they’re all a bit sleazy and he’s better than that. “Okay,” he hears himself say again. “Yeah, okay.”
“Excellent,” Obi-Wan smiles at him before reaching out and using two fingers to gently pet the space between Cinny’s ears.
It’s probably the most attractive thing Anakin’s seen in the last month.
He doesn’t want to think about what that says about him.

The Fifth Day of Britannicus
Today I'm doing Nero in Da Domus! Those comics were hilarious and always near and dear to my heart.
It seems like drawn depictions of Brit hardly go wrong. Of the five different drawn versions of Britannicus I know about, I really like four of them but I dislike the fifth one probably because it's in an anime style and I'm not used to that. And every single drawn depiction of Britannicus I know about looks young. They all look Brit's age. Artists are just so good at this.
Anyway, the tumblr of Nero in Da Domus is @neroindadomus. And @owlask is the person who made it.
Tumblr media
I personally love this Britannicus. Maybe I'm a little biased because I do love this comic so much, but they did Brit well and did not make him look like he was 30, which is a plus. He's cute, he's Brit. I think his hair suits him. Very nice.

What the fuck are you talking about lol joe doesn't give a fuck about what taylor writes on her album. I think you think too much about him let it go babr it's been a year move on
hello! i was just making a comment about what his publicity team said regarding ttpd!
Tumblr media
(link)
so it doesn’t seem like he does care a wee bit. but if you think it’s stupid of me to do that then i’m going to tell you a little secret that’ll blow your mind. okay, are you ready for it?
if you don’t like my post you could’ve easily just blocked me instead of coming onto my blog and telling me so.
it would’ve, in fact, taken less energy! but you obviously cared so much about what i posted about, on my own blog, that you just had to come in here and tell me it’s stupid of me to comment on this! which, maybe it is, but again it’s my fucking blog so i can do what i want.
anyway, fuck off. i’m seriously not in the mood for shit like this cause i have more important things going on it my life to care about what others think of me on the internet. but since you apparently do care about me in some capacity, i’m going to give you a little word of advice:

Only reinstalled the hell app to post this bc I didn't have enough time to say everything I wanted to in my last posts. I'm not checking notifs or messages. I haven't seen anything posted on the last few posts, so if anyone is waiting for a specific response, you won't get one for a while. I'm done posting seriously or talking about anything until I heal and my family is better. I wish you all the best. Thank you to all the friends I've made here, everyone that treated me kindly, my great anons that kept me informed (and humble 🤡), and the talented people keeping this community going.
To people like Sara, Ki, Viper, Nes, Api, Wolfgang, Weepy, Blue, Moon, Twink, Van, and many many more- you made my time here great & regardless of anything that's happened now I still appreciate you and all you did to support me when I was hurt. To all the server members in general and my followers- I'm sorry for the pain or loneliness anyone has experienced from me not being able to be here to handle this issue. As well as to anyone that felt alienated or uncomfortable as black members of the server; being black myself, I should've been more aware and never allowed that to happen to you. Some of the members that expressed this, I considered close friends, which means I should have noticed even quicker and didn't. And when I was informed, I was too overwhelmed to do what I needed to reassure and protect you. Dollie/Corpsetrait may not be in the server any longer, but rot was there when the right choice would've been to remove rot until I had time to investigate all the claims, at the very least. That's what I've done now- too little too late. I know I could've done better, especially for my friends' sake and the server's, and I'll learn from that to make a better environment when I return. Make sure you keep all those receipts for me to put in my thinkpiece then- it's in the works, don't worry.
Finally, to all the people I disagreed with and shit talked in the past- no hard feelings. Keep fuckin' it up and I'll see you next time. ✌

How to fix the reblog to likes radius
1- Go back to your likes, select a post and hold E + put your pointer over the rb icon, choose the blog u want to rb to n press it (this is the fast rb, it takes less time n energy than the traditional method) 2- do that in Many posts (even if the post it old, specially if its art. many ppl will be surprised, but happy) 3- remember that you can always edit rb's if you want to leave commentary or organize with tags (there's never a time limit to add tags) 4- if you dont want to clutter a blog with random stuff/want to keep that blog a specific aes or theme/are afraid someone will judge, make a sideblog 4-1 like literally, you dont have to organize Just with tags in one blog if you dont want to. just make a sideblog 5- Try to make going into your likes an habit. (if it helps, keep a tab to your likes open and pinned. if you get bored doing something you can procrastinate in your likes <-does that) 6- [This next one if Completely a suggestion] if youre now checkin your likes regularly, i recommend taking the like off after you rb 6-1 this is so the rb radius increases 6-2 also if you think of rebloggin in general, try not liking if the likes are already a lot more than reblogs 7- remember that you can rb one thing to as many blogs you like 8- remember you can like once, but you can always rb multiple times, and multiple versions of one post
Reasons to rb: -a reblog with a tag (and luck) in your blog is easier to find than a random like in a sea of likes -if the original post is deleted, it will still be up in your blog with a rb, while in your likes, if you like the original post and not a rb, will be lost for a good while -tumblr has a culture, a culture based in the fact that sharing, even in silence, is better than just leaving a like, As Likes Where Added After Reblogs -this is not instagram or twitter, the only algorithm here is bare-bones and mainly Not connected to likes (check the Reblog Graph at the side of likes in a big post. if you dont have it, turn the thingy on in settings -> labs. it shows best how reblogs help) -with reblogs you can basically create a time capsule of interests in your blog. your blogs have something called Archive for a reason -also youll make someone really happy, even if you dont leave tags
