Terribly Abnormal About Robots

He/Him I like and reblog lots of different shit, mostly stuff I either find funny or that's related to one of my many obsessions (usually stuff about Mecha, video games, freaky robots and general sci-fi stuff) *Usually* nothing NSFW but watch out for The Freakster Legally allowed to do sex, drugs and rock n roll, now in the US too!

Dark Souls 3 is kinda perfect.

The game has issues but complaining about them feels frivolous in the face of how definitively well executed everything about it is. In a way it's the perfect sequel to the first game, visually, thematically and gameplay-wise.

If I were around that sphere when DS2 came out I would be really disappointed because the original intention of that game was to reinvent the series with every new entry. New feel, new mechanics, new worlds and stories, an infinite adventure, ten thousand sequels each with their unique feel of combat, genuinely no stone was left unturned in the development of Dark Souls 2. In a world where DS3 never happened, we probably would still have Dark Souls sequels.

But Dark Souls 3 reigns it in. The series is immediately wrangled back to its roots, everything about dark souls 3 is rooted in the first game, and it all serves one singular purpose: to deliver a message to all who fell in love with the first game. The message being: This Series Has To End. Now.

And what would be a more perfect way to deliver such a message than making a story about a dying world that is tired of existing? Make your fans face the corpses of their favourite characters. Put them into the ruins of their favourite areas, covered in ash and dust and poison. Make I all staggeringly beautiful in a macabre kind of way.

Have you ever had a favourite game series that started out brilliantly but then was bought or the devs just completely lost the plot, so after a few new installments it feels less like the game you once knew, and more like it's corpse being paraded around? I've heard fans of the original Fallout games complain in that manner. I'm not one of them but I can see where they're coming from.

Dark Souls 3 seems to be doing something like that on the surface, but instead of a parade, it feels more like a funeral. It's a beautiful funeral, but the reality hits you like a sack or bricks: this world is dying, and then the credits roll, the casket will be closed. Do you still want to go on this journey? Yeah, I do.

Perhaps one day Dark Souls 4 will come out. I have a small sliver of hope that maybe someone at fromsoft figures out what this series might still have left to say. Dark Souls 3 is probably the most ended game to ever end a series. It ended so hard that I feel like if Dark Souls 4 hits our shelves after a decade, everyone will just look past it, thinking they might've seen a ghost.

[huggingtentacles]

I do wanna fuck that ghost though. Badly.

Frankly, I think companies presenting basic health and consumer safety information as "boring," "uncool," and "not worth your care" should carry a hefty fine based on the revenue that company generates

can you imagine tho if Eridians discovered radiation years and years after the Blip-A left

and they're just absolutely horrified because now they know why the Blip-A never returned, they sent them all to die, now to save their sun they have to redo the entire program all over again and Adrian is devastated -

and then three Eridian years later Rocky shows up with his pet alien and a ton of taumeoba all I LIVED BITCH

[stealingpotatoes]

i can't stop thinking abt this post so

[buttastic]

I see so many people saying shit like "the way fandoms behave makes me really nervous to write the story I want to write, what if my fandom sucks" and I just want to sit down with all of them and be like it's ok, you don't have to worry, you're not going to be famous

i love aus that bring tessa back as a drone, but the idea of a tessa who "lived" as a small part in Cyn's consciousness, similar to how she was depicted in the "Forever" music video, is just too good for me. Couldn't die, every waking moment filled with agony within Cyn's consciousness. Now she's in a new vessel (Uzi) and still can't die. Everyone's so attached to her that they won't let her die. Actual hell.

CHUG CHUG CHUG !!!

Do you think J would be good with kids? Not just her own kid in your AU, but like kids in general. I feel like this would be a hidden talent of hers, but I can't quite articulate why I feel that way.

there’s a bit I’ve had for a while, that I’m still not sure I’m going to keep it still- but I’ve rotated it in my head.

in the midst of Tessa and J not on speaking terms, there’s a moment in time where J gets put on involuntary vacation by Khan. With nothing to do- one thing leads to another- J ends up at one of the robo equivalent of a kindergarten, or “egg garden”.

for the DD’s it’s a bit puzzling. the colony is the first place they’ve really encountered UNN’s (outside of eating them, rip), or “growing” drones lol.

So the kids take one look at J and just think she’s a real character. incredibly endeared and amused by the way she talks to them like little tax paying adults. J is equally smug about the fact she has a squadron of little drones following her around doing whatever she says. (They think it’s a game) egg garden workers are in awe.

Yes I think she’d be good with kids, in her own unique way lmao
