What’s a popular movie that you’ve never seen? A lot, this is the first that comes to mind.

I know it depends on the individual what you can comprehend most easily and you might struggle with text for a health reason. But I find text way easier. Alternatively, someone face to face, actually answering my questions about something, not just reading really fast from the instructions!

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

that makes three incidents of sudden hailstones Hugo is very nope.

cat limbs, how do they even work

when considering whether to play deltarune or ys book 1 and 2 for the turbografx CD, it's important to know the facts

Are you ready to enter the Tomb of the Golden Skull? A new Fighting Fantasy gamebook is on its way, written by Sir Ian Livingstone and illustrated by Karl Kopinski. More news coming soon... officialfightingfantasy.blogspot.com/2021/07/arti... #fightingfantasy #gamebooks @ian-livingstone.bsky.social

I saw The Sheep Detectives tonight 🐑 🕵️‍♂️ it was fun and surprisingly emotional. I relate to the sheep who was like 'wtf why has everyone forgotten this happened?'.

KITTY AND BIRDY I like Utarerumono zan 2 already. (It was a pretty safe bet, I've enjoyed every utawarerumono game up until now)

I forgot two important factors of Metaphor: pro: hairy Scottish battle daddy 😍seriously though they nailed the accent con: they changed all the SMT spell names into weird variants. not actual words, different fancy-sounding spell names to learn. it reminded me of phantasy star online.

a lot of really bad shit happened to me kinda mid 2016 - early 2017 that was the year of the Undertale incident AND the ticketed Ragnarok incident

looking at the listing for Death end re;Quest: Code Z highlights a trend I really loathe in game advertising: just calling everything a damn Bad Ending I hate it equally as much as advertisers calling everything AI when they mean, like, your TV adjusts the picture automatically

decided to buy myself Utawaremono Zan 2 to cheer myself up. I've been good and written a lot today. the image I'm using for a reference XD

I've been told Metaphor needs to be as subtle as a sledgehammer so that some people can get it. I'm also told council tax is necessary so the Council can afford to empty all the bins they never get round to emptying. Congrats? your game reminds me of council tax.

things I like about Metaphor so far: - some of the characters and other art is really pretty - so is some of the music - you might be powered by music? - the monsters succeed at being creepy as hell, and I want to know the story behind why they get called Humans - a turn based RPG by Atlus

I, too, da Hobbit

Kinda not sure what to do with myself as I'm not sure if I actually like Metaphor refantazio.

We've had a look at Metaphor Refantazio and I have mixed feelings about it, but will probably continue some more when I'm in the mood. I want try out another game that I was gifted for my birthday - V-11 HALL-A. www.twitch.tv/doan2300

This expression is amazing 😻 Thank you so much!!

In a few mins I'm going to try streaming Metaphor: ReFantazio, a game I've never played before and know very little about. No spoilers, hints or backseating, please! www.twitch.tv/doan2300

I wrote down the dream I had about Surtr. Nothing sexually explicit, just my usual style of kinky and slightly creepy. No spoilers as its just vague Norse mythology inspired generic fantasy. archiveofourown.org/works/84967476

My results. Adol would have been higher if that wasn't ys 7 Adol, the ugliest Adol. There are two Belgers on there for some reason. There's kind of a mix of judging people by personality, looks and which game I like best. Also no 5, strategy or online as I've barely played them.

The ys sorter can pose very difficult quandaries. I'm not sure which is harder, deciding whether I honestly like Little Paro or Hugill more, or deciding which I hate most out of Pim or Riche Pendleton.

Tried a little more Traysia. Worked out the bit I was stuck on. It's a door that doesn't look anything like it should be a door. Because it always fucking is. Regardless of the era of game.

www.sporcle.com/games/RadSha... I can't identify most of them tbh, nor can I get the quiz part to work, but an unintended side effect is that my cat loves the songs 😸eepy tunes for eeoy kitty

Today's another nice day.

We probably won't stay in Muspelheim for long because it's too hot. Even for disembodied people in a dream. True we just feel like the sauna is turned up way too high and we need to leave right now, rather than instantly immolating, but it's still unpleasant.

I finished the last Notebook I was writing in, so now I can start my official Bracer one.

Muspelheim is... okay? its just a time attack mode. but the important thing is that the idea of Muspelheim inspired me to reconnect with one of the entities I enjoy talking to in a dream. and that ys x is still awesome the second time round <3

AAAAAAAAAAA FINALYL GOING TO MUSPELHEIM

Did you know? Panzer Dragoon Saga is being worked on as a PC port by a fan. It is in its early stages but one positive is the audio. It sounds extremely close to the original. He's working on regenerating all of the assets without the game code that's allegedly lost. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlMN...

'Harr be praised' 'Loto be praised' Surtr be praised, bitches. He even gets to keep his real name in an Ys game!

OF COURSE THAT CHARACTER'S SECRETLY A MERMAID I agree with people who say Dana should have been a mermaid and also Ys just needs more mer people. Adol's association with surviving shipwrecks constantly comes into a new perspective when he keeps making mermaid friends everywhere.

oh wow I'd forgotten Rollo was that hot...

oh I forgot this bullshit part of the plot that makes me want to bite people there's nothing wrong with not wanting things to change! things can be good and not need fixing! it's the people that insist they change for change's sake who are ruining the world. #bethefuturerefusetochange

Surtr: *laughs his ass off at how often Doan falls off platforms in late game ys x*

I'm now 5K words into my stupid Kincaid/Lechter fic. Maybe time for some Ys X soon? It is @hystericmoon.bsky.social fault that whenever the game talks about Rollo, I think of a certain elephant. Actually no its not, it was a stupid name anyway and I'd just think of the chocolates otherwise.

QTP with the Pokémon that runs your account. ⬇️

I have time off work today and tomorrow so gonna try and get some exercise, get some writing done and finish ys x.

Surtr and dark Savior may seem unrelated but they did try and imprison him on the Island. He kept defrosting from carbon freeze and going on a drunk-on-Bilanium-fumes arson spree. And that's how he ended up in Shining Wisdom

Surtr's probably just happy I got rid of spiky nipple dragon. She was weird weirding him out. And getting SNOW everywhere. In HIS VOLCANO.

Hi there Surtr I see you in my dream looking awesome and final boss like🙃👋🔥 I should just point out I've been asking for some kind of divine sign PREFERABLY FROM CLIMAX JAPAN for ages now and the nearest thing that shows up is fecking Surtr. Deities are worse than sheffield city council.

SPIKY NIPPLE DRAGON DOWN

OK the boss of the entire late game sidequest story is a little easy... oh its only the first form... OH GOD WHY DOES THE SECOND FORM HAVE GIANT SPIKY NIPPLES

random thought about Ys X Proud Nordics Oland Island stuff: *SPOILERS FOR PROUD NORDICS ADDED CONTENT* - - _ __ _ _ is Ragnar the Red (and maybe Adol) related to Ragna from Zwei 2? if so, that would explain the similarity between ys X and zwei. and also link it to Gurumin. *END SPOILERS*

Before you call someone cringe for loving a game too much, remember: You don’t know what that world got them through. You don’t know what that character helped hold together. You don’t know how badly they needed something to look forward to. That’s not cringe. That’s survival with the volume up.

One of the everyday things that remind me I'm not the same species as the intelligent bipedal creatures around me: Everything makes me motion sick. Except virtua hydlide. Which makes everyone else motion sick.
