Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door.

This is who it was:

dishonored 2 has its flaws but it definitely has its unforgettable moments. such as the luca abele painting

btw by I don't understand I mean I don't know enough in a theoretical/scientific/statistical way about player behaviour or frustration tolerance or learning curves this Isn't to say "well I just don't get why this is an issue" or something

I'm alright at dark souls 1 now (not great but alright) but I'll have the people know I've only learned to parry everything once I've seen a video of someone doing it. I had to be shown what animation and frames are what and then I'm golden

especially when it's something I'm by default quite bad (management games + adhd bad attention span + general forgetfulness) and YET I learn to be better at it from observation. isn't it cool

I don't really understand game difficulty discussions but I personally think it's very fun and cool to learn advanced game mechanics or just general good practices by watching other people. I've gotten passably decent at frostpunk by watching people play it like I could feel myself get better. neat

I should in fact get better at things by never doing them because I'm afraid to fuck them up ๐Ÿ˜ค

interesting how painting more makes you more competent at painting. strange phenomenon (this is a dig at myself)

Been working on a werewolf horror story (a horror story for werewolves) and have been working on the wolf lore (werewolf lore). This is LONE WOLF, one of our protags, and she's about as pleasant as she looks ...

unfortunately i don't have any funny hospital stories barring the time they did my elbow surgery and wheeled me out with me still loopy as fuck from the anaesthesia and apparently i said to the nurse "ok can i draw now" to which she said "i think you should sleep first"

i don't remember being in hospital for the burn things but i was young and tbh there's like months i don't remember there so i like to joke they were just like eh it's fine put some sour cream on it at home (WHICH apparently people have to be told not to do with burns??)

it's kind of ironic that i had to spend more time in hospital for having my elbow surgery than the top surgery. i mean from my silly layman's perspective it's just an elbow cut the bits out bandage it and lemme go home

person in this video is talking about not having a room to themselves in the hospital and i'm like ๐Ÿ˜ถ i've never been in a hospital room with less than 4 beds (no complaints no shade i just never thought of it)

This is absolutely stacked with great art and writing inspired by the best game to ever do it, AND it's free. You should download it right now!!!!

I do feel bad for people though who have no choice but to be involved in making these bigger media titles because well. bills money, and who have to watch the reception and backlash. sucks. wish we all had it better
