RIP Joey you will not be missed

oh boy Butcher Gang poster, immediately makes me think of that scene in Chapter 3 w the jumpscaFUCK

oh god he actually has 3D intestines hanging out now…and his arm stump has a bone sticking out of it..

(Ngl I’m kinda sad that they got rid of Piper’s plunger leg…the metal pegleg is cool n all but personally I feel like having that bit of silliness in his design actually Adds to the creep factor?? Like it reminds you that these guys are supposed to be cartoon villains, they’re meant to be “evil” in a harmless n goofy way, not mindlessly trying to rip you apart…but I digress)

BAD BUD LOUIS

Once again, BIG fan of how you can go back and view all of your collectibles in the menu, this is a massive boon for my ADHD ass who wants to know All The Lore but usually has to resort to the Wiki for transcripts n stuff

Am I tripping or does this layout feel familiar…?

IT DOES

Bird?? There’s actual animals in here now too?

HEYYY CHARLEY

ok that slow mo moment was actually sick as hell

OK JUST PUNCH THRU THAT SHIT LIKE DOOMGUY

Oooh upgrade time

God I hate this corridor, what’s with the Ambience and all the weird organic-looking strings(?) hanging everywhere–

I’ve never heard of ami bourguignonne before but now I really wanna try it

Joey you cheap bastard lmao

Mmm trash can snacks

[Two hour break for dinner + (sparingly) watching letsplays bc I had No Idea where to go next n didn't realize that there's an open gate at the end of the room]

Oh NOW Audrey starts doing the Protagonist Monologue to herself jddkhxd

YUP CALLED IT, we gotta loot that guy's corpse for the Gent pipe (still not sure if they'll turn out to be Porter though)

MY GAME LAGGED I CAN’T TELL WHAT’S HAPPENING OR WHERE IT CAME FROM BUT IM GETTING MY ASS BEATEN

Oh I see. They’re in the ceilings.

Oh god I hate stealth in horror games

Time to crouchwalk Literally Everywhere

Is this guy…a health inspector who got inked? and he thinks he’s still doing his job?

OH JESUS THAT LAUGHTER-

DUDE SOUNDS WAY TOO HAPPY ABOUT BASHING MY SKULL IN

*cue me mixing up the Jump and Sprint buttons in my panic and unintentionally LEAPING over the counter*

welp I’m dead

……….so That’s what those Linker(?) pipe things are for. Grand.

#dizzyisms #bendy and the ink machine #batdr #batdr spoilers #bendy and the dark revival spoilers #my biggest takeaway so far is that I have the survival instincts of a mouse or perhaps a shrew #my fight or flight response defaults to Flight every damn time #with an occasional Freeze #dizzy plays #this is spliced together from multiple sessions from the past few days #bc I keep taking breaks and/or fear-quitting lmao #also sorry not sorry for fixating on all the Little details instead of actual plot stuff hdjsbdjdbx

a fun thing you can do when you're a grownup is buy a bunch of ingredients and make 6 litres of spaghetti sauce in a big pot and divide it up into a bunch of containers and put it in the freezer!

#food #I used 4 cans of tomatoes and 2 small zucchini and a pound and a half of ground beef #and 3 bell peppers and a bulb and a half of garlic and 2 thingies of mushrooms and I think 5 onions? #I'm spaghetti sauce rich! I can have easy spaghetti occasionally for many weeks to come! #I was going to make it yesterday when I bought most of the ingredients #but then I realized the 2 cans of tomato I had in the cupboard were probably not enough #highly recommend making a lot of a freezable thing and freezing it! future me is going to be glad to have so much sauce! #cooking #I wish I had a cheese grater. I must get one

I know I've been making 'we are fucked' posts all winter whenever it crests 50 degrees but the amount of people who are under the impression that climate change just suddenly got 10000x worse from last year to this one is kind of worrying.

I mean I guess it's not a bad thing if it catalyzes increased public reckoning, but we're still going to see 'normal' winters happening throughout our lifetimes, we'll still see abnormally COLD and snowy winters, and that can't be mistaken for things suddenly getting 'better'. It's critically important to understand climate change as a shift in overall trends and not something accurately reflected by year to year variation

#This may be a small comfort but even in the unlikeliest absolute most We Are Fucked scenarios we're still going to see like... #Seasonal Variation. Temperatures below freezing. Etc #In the far more likely bad case scenarios you're still going to at least occasionally see winters as cold and snowy as you remember #for the rest of your life. (Broadly speaking though like maybe not universally due to varying geographic conditions) #No offense intended to the OP of that post btw it's just something I've been seeing a lot

[lesbians4scully]

me, at my day job (preparing The Horrors), up to my fucking elbows in Viscera and Blood: teehee this is so faith the unholy trinity core

#to clarify i have to prep dissection material occasionally so like. eyeballs lungs hearts occasionally kidneys #i have to individually bag/freeze/defrost/etc them #shits FUCKED #well actually its sorta interesting #apart fron the eyeballs Blech #faith the unholy trinity #faith game

[anormalkidingotham]

gotham finally has (regular) electricity again and i feel like we've really missed out on a lot while basically being cut off from the rest of the world

#this time it lasted way longer than usual #but at least it didn't happen in winter this time #no electricity is much easier to deal with #when you're not literally freezing #and when the sun at least comes out occasionally #on another note #i heard that crime went down while the power was out #probably because most of those silly schemes require way too much energy #and because batman seemed to be exempt from the whole no electricity thing #poison ivy probably had a great time tho #only in gotham #just gotham city things #unreality

[machinerot]

there are beasts trying to emerge from under the kitchen floor

#my pipes burst due to freezing temps and now the water damage is causing mountains of warped wood #we love to see it !!./../;';. #like 12 inches of warping up and down. across the entire kitchen #kim.......i need your help. even if just to stand there making the occasional judgmental commentary while i figure it out #please #it would help

[fivepebble]

the durability of electronics made before 2004 is something i miss. when i was 8 my DS flew off the top of a moving car, hit the ground so hard the cartridge popped out and rolled down a hill of concrete and it still works fine

#fptext #the cartridge was fine too btw. it very occasionally freeze-crashes when playing that game

[craycraybluejay]

people think i'm "rude" for being too blunt/too honest but if i took some kind of uncontrollable truth-telling serum i would be actually suicide-inducingly horrible to be around. i'm honest but trust that i take care to be much more polite, fair, and controlled at most times than I want to. you could not take 5 minutes of me blurting out everything that goes on in my brain in gruesome detail, especially pertaining to You specifically. kindness and courtesy are neither a weakness nor proof of some inherent purity. they are a bore of a chore. and while it is an incredibly irritating chore it is required in order to exist (less) hassled by society.

idk. it's truly annoying to spend much effort and energy on all of everything alone. and after accepting no help will come your way, no ackmowledgement or reward for your work comes either. and not only. instead comes punishment. punishment for the grave sin of not being good enough at pretending like i love small talk and not being good enough at kissing ass and not being good enough at neither keeping my head down and doing nothing nor making waves. not being good enough no matter which way you turn, what weight you pull, how much pain you opt to ignore in favour of pushing onward. there is no prize, no safe space, there is only the anger in the meaningless and base fight to survive. hatred, death, despair, the deep wells of agony. and within it all a part of you screams itself hoarse and then quiet to break the dam. at such high capacity, it doesnt matter of its toxic sludge or just water. "just water" kills everything in its path. tsunamis, typhoons, tropical storms, rainstorms, deadly hail... a little bit builds up and in the right place it can be cried out, or redirected, or simply evaporate in the warm, kind, invigorating rays of the sun. but what then if there is no place for that kind of thing. you are the river above a city and you grow and you grow and come the next storm you may just flatten it all to nothing with everyone inside. the dam allows no space to move or grow smaller. you grow so big you don't know if it's even a river anymore. what you are is some strange unnatural body with a riptide so intense it rivals the wildest ocean tides.

i remember the time i almost got swallowed by a storm riptide clearly. it took just a touch of the water and i am being pulled by a force stronger than anything i have felt before or again, something wild and so much bigger. a storm that no longer wants or has any purpose or even one clear cause... without reason, it doesn't *want* to destroy ships and tug people to their crushed deaths. no. it just-- will. it will do that. it has no will but it will kill you. it will destroy everything. what a beautiful terror. but why in me. tugging tugging tugging. sometimes i wish my weak little kid body got seized by the riptide and that i could not break free at all. that would be an epic death.

#rambles #someone promised me a visit to a rage room!!!! they must deliver!!!!!! #i must admit i do look down on the one that rages like a traumatized little bitch-- dog #at every little thing #the one who-- in the real world-- is too angry and stupid even to shut its mouth when it kills itself #here i am with all this anger you put inside me and its enough to genuinely want to wipe our planet dead #and here i am calmly listening to you air your pathetic grievances while i think of smashing your skull in with this hammer #and you. you... like a little baby given power. #and here i fucking am taking it and trying so hard to maintain. as if it wouldnt be such a relief to just let go #as if i havent envied you for your senseless retarded pursuit of being so unapologetically terrible to people #as if i wouldnt do anything to trade our minds and places and be the stupid eternal toddler #people think the things i occasionally say or do are anger. it is not #how many switches will you flip and buttons will you push until you choose the wrongest one yet #how much longer must i withstand this pressure with my hands under me and my teeth pressed firmly together #how many more times do i have to stop in the middle of acting on instinct. instinct to survive and fight #instinct that will destroy indiscriminately. #if its like this for long enough... do you think water can become fire? youve heard of hell freezing over but have you heard of earth #becoming hell? #again i cant sleep. the energy is suffocating. i need to be held tightly and to tussle till my body gives out #no i need to feel bones crack under me.

honestly after having played hwbm i feel like halimede on twitter and the reputation/fanbase she's accrued really downplay how much of a comedic brat the character is

#“chased too hard and fumbled a dykey trans girl” does not properly convey the reality of them dating on and off for an unspecified while #because Halimede was too liberal for Luna-Terra's what-if pipe dreams and too tame for her troublemaking tendencies #but down bad too hard to stop taking her back whenever they split #and when they broke it off for good she entered a “occasionally yearntexts LT but doesn't expect a reply and freezes if she gets one” era #AND when they run into each other she gets uppity and petulant about how LT should feel bad and how she'll never forgive her. like ok dyke

[corset]

Would love to use this app actually but given that the ads and recent updates make it literally unusably laggy I guess that isn’t happening.

#I literally can’t scroll for more than a minute or something without it getting the point where I’ve got a 2 frame per second dash that will #occasionally just freeze entirely for like 5 seconds.

[gothamgaslightgatekeep]

Me: I like using the BG3 character creator as like a d&d version of the sims

Brain: download the sims

Anyway, the last time I played the sims was before I even made Cadmus as a character so GUESS WHO I MADE

Miss Bisexual Actress Witch & Mister Genderqueer Con Artist Magician

#tmi #anucad #i have soooooo many cc mods #like. apparently i had over 400 the last time i played on my shitty laptop #i started going through & sorting them & redownloading in case they've updated #& of course while figuring out where tf i even got many of these i ended up downloading more #& eventually i said “fuck it just stick the unsorted mods in their own folder inside the mod folder” #anyway. i barely even play with the sims i make. i just love character creation #like. according to steam i've got 22.4h playtime on bg3. ~8 or 9 of that was when i tried on my laptop & it was super slow & kept freezing- #-& crashing. roughly 3 hours is actual non-character creation playtime. the rest is me fucking around in the character creator #i have no idea how much time i've sunk into gaia online's avatar builder but it's probably well over 100 hours #Love Nikki probably over 1000 #i need y'all to understand. i love character creation. when i'm drawing a new oc my brain is flipping through what design things to give- #-them like a goddamn dressup game. part of me wants to try doing character design professionally but the problem is... #...if you look at all my OCs they're mostly basically anime girls. i'm bad at making myself diversify my characters beyond occasionally- #-giving them black/brown skin. i need to make more fat characters. and more darker skinned characters. & more other things.

[shouts-into-the-void]

I have a freeze response anytime I hear someone talking/moving around in another room due to ~trauma~ and my downstairs neighbors are making for the most uncomfortable form of exposure therapy

#pretty sure they are a married couple and by pretty sure i mean if they are they need to not be anymore #they constantly yell at each other and stomp around #occasionally this also happens when they are outside the building so i can hear it *even better* from below my windows #childhood trauma #freeze response #exposure therapy #noisy neighbors

a thing i have JUST realized, isn't the human brain amazing lol -- is that we talk about izzy's thoughts and feelings on ed, on blackbeard, about how he serves one but not the other, etc, etc, and how it means he never loved or even respected the True Man Underneath It All but rather the bloodthirsty legend of a pirate--

e x c e p t izzy is not the first person who makes the distinction between edward and blackbeard. it's ed himself, when he says "actually, i want to be called edward from now on".

before, when he was with stede, it didn't bother him at all that the crew called him blackbeard. that was his name! he was blackbeard, what else would they call him. only stede and izzy got to "ed" or "edward" him, because they were closer -- stede was his first close friend, izzy was his friend and first mate for decades. (note that fang was with ed the longest, but he doesn't call him by his name! you gotta deserve it.)

izzy doesn't do anything inappropriate or out of proportion when he snaps at the crew to call him blackbeard or captain -- that's who ed is, is supposed to be, to them. they're not friends! they even call stede captain, and have you seen that guy?

it's ed that makes the connection between his current state: draped in fuchsia robes, singing sad songs about how sad he is, showing his vulnerable and emotional state in front of people who are supposed to respect and trust his authority. and by that he splendidly loses that authority, to the point that wee john calls him ed, and when izzy snaps at him for disrespecting his captain, ed goes no, actually, yknow what, do call me edward! and then he goes on to encourage the crew to sing as well and hey, actually, why are we being pirates! we should do a talent show!

the distinction is clear here. before all that, in izzy's eyes, his boss was blackbeard, captain, ed/edward -- different names for different occasions, but one and the same guy. but now? this guy singing songs in a pink bathrobe doesn't want to be called blackbeard, he's edward! ed time now! we're going to eat marmalade and express our feelings in front of everyone! and hold talent shows! Ya Hoo !

yeah, it's no wonder izzy doesn't want that. he wants his competent captain back, and this current dude, edward? he's not him. so, uh,

#shrimp thoughts #AND it's not izzy that's the final nail to magenta ed's coffin. it's the lads calling for EDDIE to come and sing for them again #right after izzy -- his first mate! the guy who followed him for all those decades with only mild complaining and an occasional #fed up tirade here and there -- tells him he has no reason to respect him the way he is now. if that's the way with izzy -- then fuck! #what about these guys? those basically strangers to whom he stupidly bared his soul? who are treating him like a source of entertainment? #man's just lost izzy's support. he doesn't have stede (the guy who has the sort-of loyalty of the crew). and the crew respects and admires #blackbeard -- but ed? eddie? uh oh. #look at his face and body language before and after the 'hey eddie give us another song!'. before: he's clearly upset by what just happened #but he starts to fix the robe on himself. starts trying to deal with it and stuff. but the second he hears that one sentence? he freezes. #he turns his head towards the source of the voices -- the crew chanting his name -- very slowly. his eyes are barely moving #this is not to say that izzy's words had no effect on him because they clearly did! but he did not go full kraken to make a point that izzy #is wrong and actually pink and karaoke are good. he goes kraken because attack is the best defense. and it's so fun when #everyone laughs at your jokes and claps when you sing! it's just that people are fickle as fuck :/ #tl;dr the bekrakening is a complex process that doesn't have its source in one grumpy first mate who just wanted everyone to do their jobs #but rather in a fuckton of factors from which one was -- yeah -- stede abandoning ed after he bared his feelings to him. leaving him a #confused raw wound. which would be fine if ed was a teenager but unfortunately he's a scary pirate who loves a good maim #this post is soooooooo long oh my god i could have fit it in three short paragraphs probably

[ravenwolfie97]

anyone else experiencing glitchy behaviour in the Hills of Barsom? i've just been trying to get a dendroculus and fight a camp of treasure hoarders but after like a minute or two my game keeps freezing

a thing i noticed though is that the pink flower petals in that area keep flickering into a bright green texture? i don't remember them doing that intentionally so idk if the texture is corrupted or something? or maybe something is just weird with my computer there now idk, i don't think it's overloading with stuff cuz even before i started fighting the guys and was just wandering around it still froze up. so like idk what's going on

#genshin impact #a thought might be that i have had like this. gaming app called omen on my computer keep popping up? #whenever i wanted to play genshin it'd be like Hey do you want me to run too #so now i just let it and somehow it opens up the RAM for like a gig and a half of extra processing space? #or something idk #maybe that's the issue but i've only had it seize up on me once before and that was in a scripted scene #and even before that was allowed or even before it started popping up my computer would freeze in genshin occasionally #but this is. very consistent. i've had to restart it like six times now
