Lonely

Oh Mister Lonely

I have no tears left

To spill them for you

Because when your mothers

Your sisters and brothers

Wanted freedom and safety

What did you do?

So Mr Lonely

When you realize they only

Care about their agenda

And thing nothing of you

Then my poor Lonely

When you are truly Lonely

Then maybe you’ll realize

You’re in Hell with us too

danse macabre is actually europe’s answer to the monster mash

if you listen close it’s just a song about the danse macabre, we never hear the actual danse macabre

I need @dropoutdottv to cut ties with Wizards of the Coast/ Hasbro so that we can get a CEO Of video

Please it will heal my soul to hear BLEEM like “LITERAL Pinkertons? How did we even contact literal Pinkertons”

Thanks

Gin and tonics are the best cocktail because they can cure scurvy, malaria, and being boring at parties

Just me explaining the deep lore of the Flavor of Love Cinematic Universe to my husband and realizing this is my roman empire

Playing Baldur’s Gate 3 as an ace person is wild because like instead of using my companions as flesh pawns to experiment new kinks with like God intended I’m instead forcibly subjecting them all to my found family narrative and my power fantasy of making sure my friends are safe and supported

[scorpioandthefrog]

So far Baldur’s Gate 3 is just six hours of me gentle parenting my companions

Wonderful update I am now co parenting with Karlach

Astarion is our perpetually mildly discontented geriatric cat

Lae’zel is our reactive rescue pit mix

So tumblr served me a post quote “based on my likes”, and it was a BAM MARGERA thirst post

What even is this site plz

“Let’s start by recapping the events of the last session” = stuffy, unoriginal, boring

“Here’s what you missed on Glee” = punchy, topical, everyone is furious

[scorpioandthefrog]

Listen I’m absolutely furious about Bioware unceremoniously firing a whole team because they are expensive and unionized. Obviously furious on behalf of the workers, but honestly selfishly upset that I won’t be able to play the next game of THE series that I absolutely obsessed over back in college

But honestly? It would have sucked even if they hadn’t fired all the creative people responsible for making it good. Bioware never understood what was good about the games in the first place. Inquisition was so goddamn gorgeous, but it completely lacked the charm of the glitchy, ugly first game

No matter what, Dragon Age 4 was always going to be full of soulless “swooping is bad” callbacks and “well… that happened” style humor

[scorpioandthefrog]

So I guess the youths don’t know how to read analog clocks anymore and I’m already packing my bugout bag so I can just leave the country when daytime talk shows find out

Not to be dramatic but if I see one fb post about “kids these days- back in my day we learned penmanship and hoop and stick” I will simply not survive it

Bioware just announced it's canning another 50 employees, including Mary Kirby, and I'm just miserable about what that means for the state of the games and the future of the studio.

[anneapocalypse]

For the record I feel like saying "Dreadwolf is going to suck because they laid off Mary Kirby" is like... really dramatically missing the point of what's going on here.

The next game has been in alpha for nearly a year now. Kirby's work on the game as a writer was probably mostly finished. Which does not make this better. If anything, it makes it worse.

The layoffs aren't terrible news because a game we're looking forward to might be worse because of them. They're terrible news because people who have devoted years of blood, sweat, and tears to making the game good (including the person who wrote one of the two characters on which they've been hanging the entire marketing campaign for said game thus far) have been axed now that the company has decided it can probably get by without them.

The quality of the game when it finally comes out is irrelevant here. If it's amazing, it won't make this any better, and if it's awful, it won't make it any worse. What matters is the people whose labor made it exist at all are profoundly undervalued, the industry as a whole is broken and frankly abusive, and I wish everyone in it some good labor organizing.

Why is there no VR game where I’m sitting in a big cloud, drifting through the sky like it’s a lazy river

Or a cottage deep in the Scottish countryside that I’ve inherited and can decorate to my liking

Plz I love video games so much, but I am TIRED

The worst part about being a good midwesterner is that sometimes you meet people for the first time, and you have to tell them “so nice to meet you!! :)” at the end of the interaction even if it was NOT nice to meet them
