I don't agree with them at all. I think your protagonists are whole people, sometimes prickly, sometimes overwhelmed and kind, sometimes cunning and careful, but people. I never feel like your protagonists don't want, don't pursue, or don't feel.

Mostly in words (mostly my own voice). For someone who doesn't listen to much music, a lot of old songs running on repeat. Images supplement! they only take over if I'm falling asleep or very tired.

Hm hm. I suppose it depends on whether the absurdities of Oblivion made it special to you. For me, yes, it's nostalgia - these are games I played with my siblings. The ridiculous bits were jokes we shared (and still share). But also, Skyrim didn't supersede it for me!

Fortunato for @wickedbaggins.bsky.social
Thank you! He was a real pleasure to draw.

You know I love your stuff. I have another OC I can commission.

Law of Vengeance Sixteen year old Zhou Hao is one of fifty new initiates to the Seven Striking Thunder Sect, seeking to earn the ultimate prize: living godhood. But what Hao - actually Zhou Hui Ying, youngest daughter...

Interested in a story of vengeance and cultivation? Zhou Hou joins a demonic sect to pursue immortality...or so he claims. But she is truly Zhou Hui Ying, and what she wants is revenge on the elder who killed her family, even if she must become a living god in an all-male sect to find it.

A person with dark skin and darker hair looks pensively over their shoulder, jacket slung over a white tshirt. Kingfisher's hair is long, caught half in the wind and pinned with beads like beatles.

Total pleasure doing this drawing of @wickedbaggins.bsky.social 's Kingfisher.

This has been a real fun late October for video game releases. World of Horror and Slay the Princess are both real swell and delightfully gross. (although with slay, come for the gross, stay for the Complex Feelings.)

Honestly, I often prefer that pacing.

Misericorde, a kinetic novel about a Murder Mystery Among Nuns, has a soundtrack which is totally a bop. Just so y'all know.

well, I hope you enjoy it! ten hours of Halloween vibes!

Finished The Quarry! Spooky interactive movie. Not nearly as scary as Until Dawn, but arguably stronger character writing, and hey, the black kid and the Asian kid had stuff to do. Some fun gay flirting and some elevated writing with the tarot go pretty much nowhere, but at least they're there.

I love it, I do, but it's a hard sell. You're actually rolling for each hit. Takes a while to manage common bandits. You have to click and drag things onto your paper doll to eat or equip or read anything in your inventory. I think it's at least a bit simulationist, but it's kinda work to play.

On the OTHER hand, it's also clear in the first half hour of Morrowind why I can't get anyone new to play this clunky thing.

On the one hand, crawling into the first little Morrowind dungeon is an Experience. Combat is a frantic scramble where only every other stab lands. You peel pieces of chitinous armor from the smugglers you have slain, you steal their valuable smuggled drugs, you free their slaves. You muddy out.

I've never done 6 or Kiwami 2, but that sounds amazing. Eating new food in Judgment is still a method of gaining XP! And often the restauranteer will ask for your advice on this or that.

I still need to finish Judgment! It's been a wild year for my gaming attentions, but it is so charming. Sitting down at every restaurant, sampling all the food, triggering multiple culinary quests -- THIS is what Starfield lacks. Right here.

Cornered executive sweating profusely.

Every time I play The Fabulous Fear Machine, I feel like I'm reading an issue of EC Horror Comics. Even when there's nothing happening but tense dialogues.

Still failing to get back into the movie watchin business, but December's gonna be good. Just look at it! The Boy and the Heron, The Color Purple, and Poor Things.
