I hate "immersion" with all my heart and soul. The day we decided to start chasing immersion in video games to the detriment of everything else made all discussion of the hobby into a fucking cess pit. Immersion is the main reason people want GenAI in their games now, and it fucking sucks

I've played a bit more, done some trials and stuff with it. The changes still feel bad, specifically Bloodfest Cartridge gain. Like, it looks bad, it feels bad to do, and I'm not actually using it? At least not on purpose. Managing 3 Cartridges isn't exactly rocket surgery, gang.

Really not a fan of these Gunbreaker changes so far. Like yeah it "Removes Friction" or whatever but idk, if you're good at the job, the friction diesn't really hurt, and god forbid that you have to actually manage your gauge. idk man, I don't want GNB to just become another Warrior

Tokusatsu is really just the vocal stim store for autistic folks. The last week I've been walking around the house just going "DESIRE DRIVER. SET. SET. DUAL ON. Get Ready for BOOST! and. MAGNUM!"

There's no greater display of mortal hubris in our modern times than Hovis 50/50 bread. All of the taste and decadence of white bread *and* the health benefits of brown? We are playing with Olympian Fire, and Demeter will not look kindly on our flagrant merging of her blessings.

I think I watched more @mbtyugioh.bsky.social slop than I actually played the TCG this year

I think the most fucked up thing (affectionate) about Diggy Doggy Hole 2 is that as an Area 11 fan that's so starved for content, it bears enough of the hallmarks of Sparkles*' songwriting style (and his vox of course) that it's basically a new AXI track in all but name.

Is this anything? #gundam

I'm building the High Grade GQuuuuuuX and fuck me this thing can *articulate* Seriously, it's like a bionicle or something, for Gunpla this level of motion is *really* impressive. If the whole line is like this I'll have to look into more of em 👀

I've sort of come to the conclusion that everyone I've ever cared about has eventually kind of just drifted apart from me. I know that's life, and that happens, but I'll be damned if I don't view it as some kind of moral failing on my part

When you next play D&D, if you walk into a room and your DM says "Everyone make a perception check for me", you should legally be allowed to eat their dice and punch them in the dick.

I built a cool robot and I'm being really normal about it

So I finished the game. I think Dispatch is quite good. I'm gonna do a second play through and make some different choices to see just how divergent everything is, but idk I still feel this way.

I have really mixed opinions on #Dispatch and now you all get to hear them. Lucky you. To be clear, I like it a lot. I'm engaged. The character writing is really top notch, it looks gorgeous, it's well acted, I'm having a ball. However, I'm struggling a bit with the choices I get to make as a player

Sure, Digimon Story Time Stranger is a great RPG and is the best Digimon game probably ever because of its great gameplay and well told narrative. It's also the best Digimon thing ever made because you can do this

The adult LEGO fan to Gunpla pipeline is not only real, it can happen to anyone. It happened to me. I got my first High Grade today and looking forward to putting it together! I'll keep you all posted 🫡

I'm not even sorry, I think this is going to become a King Ohger fan account now. I've started this series after getting mostly caught up with Gozyuger and FUCK it's extremely good. Gira is a character I really like watching, he's really well defined and likable with his whole fake tyrant act.

I'm doing some #Hades2 practice runs, y'know to get myself back in the saddle for 1.0 this week and holy SHIT this COOKED. That Omega Attack Damage really carried it for me. Some very good RNG I basically melted Typhon like he was wet paper

Did I ever tell you all about the time I almost called a customer a Good Girl at work? Woman comes in, most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life, and I was left on my own with her. As is literally my job I strike up conversation and she does the whole "Shall I be Bad and get a pastry?" routine.

So the autism hyperfixation has decided to split off from Power Rangers and has landed on No 1. Sentai Gozyuger. I've seen the first episode, I'm enjoying it! Is the 50th Anniversary season a good place to start! Probably not, but it sure looks cool.

So I'm playing the Time Stranger demo. English VA? A lighting system that doesn't make every character look flat and uninteresting? Holy shit, it's a modern video game? And doesn't feel like an RPG for the fucking PS3? We're doing it! A good Digimon game!

I know video games are different for all people and what some people think is hard is easy for others and stuff. But I'm convinced that "Okumura Persona 5 is the hardest fight in the game" is a Psyop designed to drive me, specifically, insane.

Trying to buy Silksong Steam keeps crashing Has this whole thing just been an elaborate Silkpost?

I'm continuing my stupid idea to watch all of Power Rangers because apparantly that's the flavour of autism I got. I did it on Twitter but lost that thread when i abandoned the platform. I'm about halfway through Lightspeed at time of starting this thread.

It's the weirdest thing in the world to use the Steam client to buy Hardware of all things. Yes please let me enter my shipping info into *Steam*?

Heads up, as my mental state deteriorates, I'm gonna end up posting more unhinged shit. Rest assured, I'm not gonna kill myself. I'm too scared, and also I simply cannot let Jacob Rees Mogg outlive me.

I've simply decided to stop being mentally ill, I'm actually so done with being mentally ill now

My favourite thing about progging a new EX is finding *that* prog point. I can do Necron EX Phase 1 with perfect clarity, it's at a point where I can autopilot it. Grand Cross? PF can't clear it. No matter what I do, people can't do shit. I hate body check mechanics with my whole soul

I'm rewatching A Series of Unfortunate Events because I'm deeply sad and I'm sat here thinking is there a name for this genre of thing? Like the whole thing is suffused with this saccharin darkness that's so morbid it wraps around to being funny.

Having ADHD and Echolalia be like having the gift of Prophecy but sometimes Apollo leaves the line open while he's scrolling Vine

Anyone who knows cosplay, can you explain to me why this mf is apparently impossible to get on model? Like no shade, cosplay is hard I get it, but I swear every single time I see someone cosplaying Jonkler it looks flat

I do genuinely worry I have no community. All my friends do is send me reels, which is nice but it's not a substitute for conversation. And the only time anyone wants to hang out with me is when im generating content for them and pretending to be a goblin. Idk man, I just miss talking to people.

Something pissed me off online and so now you all get to hear about it yay for you. I'm sick and fucking tired of people saying that critic is a pointless job because art is subjective and therefore someone telling you how they feel about something isn't a measure of objective quality.

Just lost to this fucking terrible pile of garbage. I drew one (1) piece of engine the whole 6 turn duel and my opponent's big play was "Normal Flamvell Guard. This is the worst deck i've lost to my entire career.

My hasty meme edit got a laugh react from everyone in the group chat and I think that means I'm not longer going to kill myself

Demon Days might be the album to come out of the 2000's and I don't even think it's a contest. Like it's that or American Idiot, I think.

Is this anything?

Worst thing about breaking my foot as that I feel like it's caused me and my best friend to drift apart. Like now I'm back at work and I'm seeing them again but something just feels off and I feel like I'm mourning that. But it's fine, I'm sure this won't cause long-term psychological effects

I just started writing out a plot for a deconstruction of the Isekai genre and got about 4 tweets deep before I realised I'd basically just written Megamind meets Truck-kun. I stand by it tbh

Really enjoying Dice Rally in Master Duel, mostly because people see 4 Generaider Tokens drop on their board and get scared. I played Generaider for a bit a couple years ago so I sort of know how to pilot the deck and it's so funny that I end on One (1) Negate and 4 1500/1500 tokens and people scoop

Once, a close friend told me during on of my darkest moments they were "sick of hearing me talk about this again" and told me shut up about it and now that's why I think I can't ever ask for help without feeling guilty 🙏

Something I love about Sonic and Shadow's appearances is that they change Sonic's sneakers a fair bit to reflect what he's doing but Shadow keeps his stupid fucking air shoes no matter what. It implies that they're optimal in all conditions which just isn't true

Had quite literally one hour of sleep tonight, seriously considering shooting myself in the head. I've had no sleep for days now, I've had enough 😭

I love Dropout with all my soul, it's easily the best streaming platform out there ATM. But I can't stand the fandom. Am I just old now? Like for the past 6 weeks, any time Walton Goggins comes up, someone has screenshot it and said "I thought it was Walter Groggins?!" Like that's doing anything.

Yeah, I love JoJo's Bizzare Adventures!

It's a rare thing to know a game is becoming one of your all time faves *while* you're playing it. Usually, I don't make considerations like that until after I've finished one. But Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is SUCH a good game that I can't help but knowing just how special it is

So given the news from the Supreme Court and the sweeping waves that Reform are making in the UK, we're pretty much guaranteed to be sliding headfirst into a fascist shit hole and I'm *scared* My partner is trans, what if they lose their healthcare?

Me, when I use my third wish to free to the djinn that's been magically entombed in my cock:

Since breaking my foot, I've had to play a fun new game I've never played before called "How normal can I be about the fact that all my friends are hanging out without me, thus creating new social paradigms that don't include me and will be impossible to break into when I'm able to see them again"

Any other neurodivergents know the feeling that when you're getting into a media franchise for the first time and you can *feel* the hyperfixation part of your brain nudge the special interest part of your brain like "hey wake up, you're gonna wanna see this"? Unrelated, I've started playing Yakuza
