What’s up! I haven’t been around today because I’ve been very busy with work. I miss anything?

Also

I had a VERY BAD Subway experience today. I don’t want to talk about it
For my first job out of high school, I was a "sandwich artist" at subway.

Within those first few days, one guy ordered a sandwich with basically every topping you could think of. After I finished making it, I asked if he needs any chips, drinks, etc. Then he said "five more of those sandwiches" -- the line was already very long...

A few days later, a guy came in and asked for a pizza. He was genuinely shocked to find out we didn't have any. My manager had to explain to him why we didn't sell pizzas.

Anyways, I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience -- but your post just reminded me of those days.
 
Ugh when you’re used to 5%, 80% humidity is hell. And the power was out from 6-10:30 last night so no ac either. My head is trying to split in half. Monsoon season can be rough. Least I have nothing on the agenda today so I’m gonna chill and game. Not sure if I’m up for starting xbc3 tho
 
I would like some help naming my weird little gumdrop bird people species for Grögol Bonanza

so far I’m working with…

Thoughts?

It looks pretty sweet and as long as the Castlevania franchise stays put on ice, any Castlevania-like is more than welcome.

Also, this game is apparently a spin-off of THIS

And that in itself is freaking hilarious.
 
Late to the party but I bought Xenoblade 3. Two days left to finish Future Connected.

My sudden transformation into a XB fan has been

FYI it’s a prequel to Gunvolt too. All the Inti stuff is connected. And those 2 were the presidents faves

I just realized that we have already got a release date for Sonic 3 the movie which is releasing in 2024 while for Sonic Frontiers that should release this year we only know it should release during holidays. I know this is due to the differences between industries but still feels so weird lol
Yeah we got two Sonic movies and the release date for the third, in the gap between Forces and Frontiers. 😅

I live in a place where summer lasts for like 5 months and we have several months straight averaging over 100° and I hate it with an absolute passion, but no humidity. I'm fighting to move to a place where highs are generally about 30° lower (sounds good to me) but people say it's humid as hell.

And I'm honestly kinda scared that even with highs averaging in the 70s and 80s in the summer, the humidity will kill me like the heat does here.

thanks gang, I’m definitely leaning towards Twerps, Tweeps, or Chirplings

@Skittzo I love your suggestions. think I’m gonna dodge the duck angle though to preserve a bit more implied variety in these weirdos. plus there’s a little duck and goose saturation currently I think

Loonies is also tons of fun but I’m trying to avoid easy Canadian joke overload — I’m already pushing it with the key ones I have (the map you travel is New Birdswick and one character references being the scourge of some place called “Zambonia”)

there aren’t any like urban-dictionary-esque bonus meanings for “twerp,” right? it’s not some kind of fucky codeword?

my main reservation is that it sounds TERF adjacent and as a chaotic trans person making a chaotic game that is the LAST association I want

but Tweep is a little… twee? but I like it? but tbd?
 
So I just learned that Alone in the Dark, of all things, is supposedly coming back in some form. I guess the timing would make sense, since THQ Nordic owns the IP and they have a presentation coming up soon.

If it turns out to be true, I wonder if it will also come to the Switch. The IP had a couple of titles on Nintendo consoles in the past, so there's some precedent.

Maybe Birdlers? Birds who are battlers?

Flighters? Ornerds (ornery+ornithology+birds+nerds)? Squaklets? Pecklers (peck+heckler)?

you can definitely understand why I don’t want to call any of ‘em Birdler

plus I don’t want them to be defined by Grögols and what they choose to do with them. These creatures have only existed in their world for 100 years. and there aren’t that many people deeply invested in their existence!

it’d be like calling all humans “gamers”

Gotcha. So strictly bird related.

Pecklins, Pecklings, Pecksters
Aves Sapians
Avioids
Ornioids


Man I really like Feathren, too masculine for a whole species name though.


I wish my game had abyss-driven creativity for the setting and characters and shit. All I have is intentional cliches like organized religion = bad and witch towers and

and random-ass JRPG attacks.
 
pros for tweep
  • refers to a sound birds make
  • refers to hostile assassination by the US government or military
  • can be shuffled close to Peewit, which refers to several different types of birds
cons for tweep
  • apparently the worst kinds of people sometimes use it to refer to twitter followers
idk it’s really close to what I’m going for… thoughts?

also sorry for chewing on this so scattery, lemme uh talk about video games people play without grögposting or getting spicy about current events

mmmmmmmmm mario a lago

oh god dammit

all those twerps will be lost in time, like raccoons in rain…

still like it but I think “twerp” in a vacuum might feel a little meaner than anticipated, especially if kids play this

why yes I am considering drawing the line at “twerps” and not “horse incinerator,” “soul oil,” or “federal assassination”

I do not think kids should play this, but I also think the kind who would would not think "twerps" is too mean
 
They need to hurry up and put P5R on the coming soon page of the eshop so I can stare at it

It's kind fucked up that Gandalf endangered the lives of the people living in Minas Tirith by using the city as a distraction to clear the way to Mt. Doom for Frodo.
I'm not familiar with the books so much but isn't the whole thing that if the ring is destroyed Sauron is just gonna wipe out everyone anyway?

So either he uses the city as bait or they all die anyway.

Wasn't one of the things about the Maiar that they couldn't be directly involved in events that shape the world as their role was to guide and influence the actual peoples of Middle Earth instead?

So like, if Gandalf sees this really bad shit coming, he can't actually do anything about it, he's gotta wrangle up actual people to do the doing. And Minas Tirith is basically the front line, so, who else?

I might be grossly misinterpreting the lore but unfortunately I lost Colbert's number so I can't call to clarify.

I kind of get that but I don't think it would necessarily mean the end of the world. In the expanded fiction, Sauron gets his ass beat quite regularly. Even before the Ring is destroyed, they pretty much defeated Sauron's armies and allies. Gandalf could have also chosen a less populated area to lure the enemy to.

I don't know much about the rules of the Wizards but if he's not supposed to intervene, well he sure does a lot of leading and fighting.

Yeah we're getting into "books vs movies" stuff here. Gandalf was definitely not, like, martial artsing orcs with his staff in the source material. 😅 But the movies were made in the early 2000s, where if someone was handed a stick they had to Donnie Yen that shit.

not so much like at the kids

like… hmm… I don’t know how to explain exactly my feelings on it well

I don’t want them to feel like the game or whoever made the game dislikes the characters, you know?

and like there’s much worse abuse to be sure but if you grew with a parent always putting you down, including far more mild instances in passing (as part of a pattern of abuse) like calling you a twerp — seeing that even sideways in media as a kid reinforces that this is the way of the world and your parents are right

I know perception is entirely out of my control, of course

but I want to make my little world feel like the characters are existing by virtue of existing. like they’re just being, and that’s a good thing. I’d rather have a silly name for them than one that could potentially feel mean or like I don’t give a shit about them

if you talk to people in the game, I want it to feel like there are a lot of different ways to live a life and everyone really is trying their best.

rivals have different interests but want to see if they can win against you. most characters will be knee-deep in something that calls to them, living lives, trying to be good to each other. most of them will like you, help you, and stick up for you — even if they were tough opponents in the diamond

the worst people in the game are the ones who really wanted to do something good but got so obsessed that they lost sight of the point — to help people. or ones who are so wrapped up in themselves that they treat you like you’re not worth anyone’s time.

and I’m not “nerfing” their personalities by any means. there are grumps, jerks, weirdos, all sorts of people up to all sorts of things.

but I want people to get the impression that most people just want to live, and want to support you even if they don’t always understand you, and will have your back if people in power are trying to make your life hell

at the end of the day you can still choose to destroy their world if you’re intent on doing so

but my hope is that you find wonder in people, and kindness there, and beauty in just living a life

my hope is that if you choose to destroy it, the decision is harder than you thought

The dev interviews when this game hits are gonna be inspiring as fuck, goddamn
 
Many hours spent playing this game

I rented the Two Towers game a few times but never owned it.

Also I can't believe that EA actually made a Lord of Rings turn based RPG with mechanics inspired by Final Fantasy X. What a different time that was.
