[bosmerbitch]

Hey ho! My name is Sky and I am here to play videogames and write videogame fanfiction like a proper adult.

My current hyperfixations are Deltarune, Skyrim, Animal Crossing, and BG3

I have a Undertale fic series (Sans/Reader) here.

My current BG3 fic is A Collection of Honest Compliments, wherein Sephina (Tav) and Astarion find their footing together and become a ridiculously sappy yet insanely dangerous power couple! Read it here!

Here’s the OC lineup under the cut

Sephina

- tired of dealing with the party but is the only adult with half a braincell so she ends up being the one to make the most decisions

- insanely, nearly toxicly loyal to a fault to two people: her adoptive sister Lya and quickly Astarion (he reminds her of Lya and thus he has an easy in)

- she’s super normal and not at all hiding anything whatsoever. Haha 😳

- uses a mask of indifference to come across as neutral when in reality she’s actually rather ruthless

- “murder’s fine if it’s the best option”

- “can everybody please just get along” (← does not give a rat’s ass about anyone except two people and actively is ready to kill everyone else if they get in the way too much; understandably does not want people to know this, but is also getting a headache from all the bickering)

- compartmentalized trauma so often that she seems okay and well-adjusted until suddenly she really isn’t

- Anger management issues but like for actual reasons outside of her control

- just as fucked up as her adoptive sister and hides it under the mask of flirtation

- her and Astarion are too much alike in many respects and so they turn into 5 year olds pulling pigtails

- “fucking try me, asshole” (← will actively murder anyone who gets in the way of or hurts herself or her sister)

- impulsive but like she gets a pass because her life fucking sucked. And still sucks

- Actively freaking out at all times that she will lose her only family left in her life to a fucking tadpole of all things, not doing great

- Karlach is so very much her type that she can’t help but want to fuck her, but also hot tiefling is A+ distraction from certain doom

- the pairing is technically straight but they are Most Definitely Not and it Shows

- tadpoles have fucked with certain things that have to do with control; Astarion’s is the impulses he has to touch her, and thus an agreement between them is struck that touching is ok. Snowballs from there

- smitten best friends that disgust and confuse the whole party with their weird touchy-ness and habit of whispering and laughing like mean girls in highschool to each other

- we’ll admit how fucked up we are to each other but no one else. Deal? Deal

- hi I would kill for you :3 would you like me to? Is this person bothering you? Can I murder them? Pwease 🥺

- power hungry man meets powerful shortie who’ll whisper sweet nothings in his ear and make him actually interested in sex again because all she wants to do is make him feel good. Through cute bonding moments, plus murder and mayhem of course

- somehow the most romantic gentle couple even though they are. So fucked up. Like SO fucked up

Study finds nearly every pre-2010 video game is unavailable

Games from older consoles are being made less and less available to the point so much of the industry's history could easily vanish without

Vimm's Lair: Preserving the Classics

Preserving classic videogames from consoles past.

I'm just gonna slide this on in here for anyone that is interested in preserving old games. They take it very seriously too, they want an archive of every single game. Like, they have lists of every game ever released for a system, and once that system gets old enough, they add it to their archive and start collecting. Their latest addition was the Xbox 360, they opened that vault up in September 2022, and proudly announced they'd finished their collection of games for it back in April.

Also, while their game archives are almost entirely complete, they've got another project of archiving the manuals that came with those games, and that is... considerably less well filled out. Their collection of Xbox 360 manuals is especially rough, they've only gotten manuals for three games. So if you've got some Xbox 360 games kicking around, and the manual's still with them, please consider scanning them and submitting them to the site!

Game preservation is important, but people rarely consider preserving the manuals as well; I really respect Vimm's Lair for being so thorough in their archival work.

I've been using Vimm's Lair for years, I have yet to see a single bad link or virus on the entire site. It's arguably the safest and most comprehensive archive of video games in existence. Preserved history
