a dyrwoodan lad with a lust for little men @glintsbf - Tumblr Blog

🧷

this is my gaming blog. main is @best-scapegoat. i love visual novels, isometrics, and life sims.

my title's a reference to Pillars of Eternity(hiravias' line about wanting to find "an aedyran lass with a lust for little men") and my URL's a reference to Baldur's Gate 1(i'm glint's boyfriend).

i've been replaying the fallout games and i'm not usually a remake guy but i 1000% get why people want a new vegas remake. the strip alone suffers more from engine limitations than the entirety of the capitol wasteland.

#new vegas fans DESERVE a glitzy strip that contrasts the rest of the wasteland's general sense of scarcity.#i also deserve that because i like pretty lights and want to see shiny new securitrons.

this isn't very independent vegas of me but i'd be okay with yes man staging a coup if he kept courier six as a pet. "now that i'm back online, i think maybe i should make a few changes to how things are run around here. if you want to leave, now's your chance! buuuut if you'd rather stay, i promise i'll take great care of you. i mean, the suite's pretty useless to me, but i could make it really special for you- and you'd have an army of robots ready to fulfill your every whim. well, some of your whims. okay, just the ones i think should be fulfilled, haha!"

#suggestive #i guess. i'm definitely musing about yes man in a horny way here. i'm not the first to do so and i won't be the last.

i respect the effort that went into the woljif romance mod and i'm glad it exists but i do have some gripes with the modder's interpretation of him. mostly with how he pushes the commander away- woljif can be cautious but he's also desperate for companionship in any form, the loneliness clearly wins out over past experiences. this is the man who risked outing himself as a fraud to violent cultists in the hope he'd save a guy he knew for like 2 days. one of the first things he does is ask the commander to run away with him and start an elaborate grift instead of leading a crusade. i just can't imagine he wouldn't latch onto the smallest crumb of affection and fall hard and fast.

i don't think it'd occur to him to hide, or hide from, his feelings either. he really does try to make things work with people, he talks to deval like they're actually friends and reaches out to arueshelae in the hopes she feels some kinship with him. i don't think he'd be quick to confess or overtly flirt, but he doesn't strike me as the type to lash out because he doesn't get why the commander's being nice to him. maybe if ygefeles manipulated him into thinking they were fucking with him, otherwise he'd just cling to the feeling of being wanted. imo

#the thought of learning to make a mod myself did occur to me but it felt a little dickish.#also i'd rather deglove my hand than play through the abyss again. i hate that funhouse nightmare of a map.#''oh if you turn the camera a little to the left the doorway vanishes!!! hehehehehohohoho'' fuck off

the desire to scrap all my original projects and instead make a fallout fanVN is like my own personal white noise, just a constant buzz in the background of my usual thoughts. and like white noise as soon as i acknowledge it it becomes the only thing i can focus on.

#trying to work on background art and it sucks(the work itself i mean) and i'm second guessing everything i've done so far #and all i can think about is those gay brains in their little color-coded jars. they'd be so fun to write.#don't get me started on all the threads you could pick up from dead money. not to tie them up but to further unravel them.#dog/god/their merged self going to jacobstown and trying to find an identity outside of trauma.#dean figuring out how he fits in an unfamiliar world after 200 years in the madre. christine's decision to stay there.#can you tell i don't want to figure out how this old-timey tavern sign should look lol

#baldur's gate #bg1 #siege of dragonspear #shitpost #i said it on my old blog and i'll say it here: it's so funny when my GW only shows interest in glint and somebody else shoots their shot.#there's a certain j'gnome sais quix nobody but him can bring.

#flight rising #he hatched in 2022!!!! the name was randomly generated!!!!!!#the twins have truly poisoned my brain. i can't see the traditionally edgy black/red combo without thinking of them.

oh captain my captain

this was my first time crocheting a plushie like this, i've followed a couple simple amigurumi patterns but that's it. i'm pretty happy with how he came out.

#not happy with the nightgown though. i spent most of the day handstitching that and it's kind of shit.#oh well! curly's cute and that's what matters. maybe eventually i'll get him some doll clothes or something.#mouthwashing #mouthwashing game #mouthwashing curly #curly mouthwashing

i can't wait until the tomodachi life hype dies down and pre-owned copies start selling for like $20

#it looks SO FUN. i can't wait to have an island that's just me and a bunch of cute gay gnomes.#and my OCs of course. the ones that don't use mobility aids anyway- feels weird seeing pasha without a wheelchair.#i should get a cheap pair of wired headphones too since the goofy voices and chill music are part of the experience.

REALLY loving the angle of "being plagued by demons who just want to crash at your place and watch you make art" that scriptorium goes for. way more fun than taking a more grounded, non-supernatural approach to worldbuilding or making the demons outright evil.

#i laughed harder than i should've at boruta's antics.#''this portrait will show who legally lives here!'' [5 minutes later] ''ignore the fact i scribbled in a random demon haha :)''

i liked the first date with death but i felt like the sequel demo was all exposition, arguing, and quips. maybe other people are super into reaper lore and i know stories need sources of conflict, i just found the dialogue dry and the humor forced. that could be less of a problem later on once the writers feel the world's sufficiently established and the boys build a rapport, only time will tell. also the lack of diversity's a glaring issue when there's a bunch of (presumedly recurring) side characters. all of them seemed to be men and all but one of them were white. you could write it off in the first game since we only saw one character but it gets more uncomfortable as the cast expands.

#and i feel like 0204 and 5012 are kind of a bad primary cast. they both came off as really jaded just in different ways.#i think they'd be fine with a more earnest character to balance them out. not necessarily another LI; that could've been MC's role.#unfortunately MC makes jokes instead.#no no that's mean. you'll probably get more opportunities to characterize MC later on and a lot of people'll like these boys.

a minute in and i hate this guy already

glintsbf

is anyone here likable

#sorry sorry i'll stop. if this wasn't a sequel to a VN i liked i would've already bounced. the cast and the quippy amnesiac MC... eugh.

a minute in and i hate this guy already

#he's smug in a cutesy way and i don't enjoy it.

epic pentiment reference in kropotkin's the conquest of bread

#i'm joking obviously but this excerpt really fits andreas.#honestly there's such an overlap in themes wrt pentiment and the conquest of bread that i wonder if jsaw's read kropotkin #or if it's just that kropotkin's work so succintly describes the values of community-minded folks that the parallels crop up independently.

what a testament to pillars of eternity's writing that after watching a 5 hour video essay twice all i can think about is wanting to make my own 5 hour video essay because i feel like so much got glossed over or entirely missed

#truly *the* games of all time. to me.

i'm interested("excited" feels too strong) to see clint's new heart events whenever 1.7 drops. him totally getting over his crush and befriending emily, showing that he sees her as an admirable human being instead of a trophy to be won, would be great. i imagine there'll at least be an event where he apologizes to her for being kind of weird/juvenile about his feelings and it'll probably warm a lot of players to him.

#concernedape said he tries not to add in content where mods exist so i'm not super surprised it's clint and sandy.#honestly with how wizard fans have been talking about shane my vindictive ass is going hehe about romanceable clint #i had no skin in this game. i'm still happy about 1.6 and marnie finally acknowledging when i romance shane.#i think clint's a fine option! as a fat man i like seeing fat romance options and i like more characters in stardew having arcs.#not enough arcs for my taste. as a vanilla player. i'm sure there's mods that add some depth to townies.
