✨Pinned post, don’t reblog✨

you can call me dae. i like video games and talking very loudly about them. and drawing stuff about them too.

Desktop theme by @walnutcookie​ , OTH edit by @magicalboycupid​

For a general DNI, it’s all typical criteria. No bigots no creeps no one here just to put anyone down. I block relatively liberally.

I consider my account 16+. General warning for... anything present in the games i like. Given TBoI, House of The Dead, Yames's creations and other assorted horror or otherwise grim games are all on that list expect sensitive topics here and there, all tagged to the best of my ability

Open to chat and answer questions but I answer at my own pace and I clam up sometimes.

Everything is ok to reblog unless otherwise stated. I’m fine with ppl reblogging with kin related tags unless I specifically say not to tag as kin on certain posts (for instance, ones with my ocs). Any of that sort of info will be in the tags. Also, please do not post my art elsewhere! If you really want to use it for something please ask me for permission beforehand. Exception would be if you're the recipient of a gift or Art Fight attack.

I tag triggers and certain content as “tw [thing]” and “cw [thing]”. I try to use tone indicators and image descriptors when I can. Please tell me if I need to tag or add anything to a post.

for those not on desktop: about * tags * other links

anyways do you think the bounty hunter thought of lizzie as the skrendel brothers fell one by one and they saw terror and rage grow in the skrendels' initially near-unreadable expressions?

we need legislation banning games >100GB

[xenasaur]

OPTIMIZE YOUR SHIT BETTER THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR A 150GB GAME!!!

[xenasaur]

upon reviewing the notes I'm changing my position. games must be <50GB. no more mandatory 8k uncompressed textures!!! I don't believe in 8k I think it's fake

[xenasaur]

to be clear games really ought to be around 20 gigs or less. but I think in the spirit of generosity and mercy we won't criminally prosecute the developers until the file sizes breaks 50

Helldivers 2 heard you and went from 156 to 23

[xenasaur]

wait is that real

just looked it up. holy fuck. they did it by de-duplicating assets. I'm just. my jaw is on the floor. supposedly duplicating assets helps load times on HDDs but. holy fuck at what cost

[somespicycheese]

it's worse than that: The Helldivers devs were told that duplicating assets would help HDD load times, but then they actually tested it and it had basically zero effect on load times!

So they had more than sextupled the size of their game by following industry standard practice that actually did basically nothing!

I'm serious when I say we gotta give Temmie Chang half the credit for Making Undertale (and Deltarune)

She's got an animation degree, I know the art in Undertale gets underappreciated sometimes because it's trying to evoke an older simpler style, but the art in Undertale is legit amazing and without Temmie, none of Toby's ideas would have been able to be realized (without finding some other artist and animator)

She deserves more flowers for being the one who made the vast majority of the art assets for an entire game that is one of the most commonly cited games as an influence on others (her style is so beloved and recognizeable, there's a fully complete Undertale fangame emulating it)

[magicalwarriordiamondheart]

if you ever thought "wow i wish there was a game where you play as a cute black magical girl and everyone around her wants to kiss her so so so badly" then you should play Magical Warrior Diamond Heart

it;s about Valerie Amaranth who is the prettiest and cutest girl in the entire world. She turns into a magical girl and sometimes I throw her and her friends into the torment nexus but it's okay 🙏🏽

maybe wishlist it.. tell your friends… the 8 hour monstrosity im calling a demo is straight up just the first half of the story :o It's on steam, itch, and google play tgnak you 🙏🏽💕

[ur-favorite-fishgirl]

tbh i do think we need to differentiate between

trans headcanon (i believe this character is trans, but in the story is an egg and hasnt realized/acted on it yet)

trans headcanon (i believe this character is trans, and in the story has fully transitioned to the point of fully passing)

trans headcanon (i dont believe the character is actualy trans or has transitioned, but i feel that their storyline and themes relate to the experience of an out trans person, even if theres no way in universe they could have transitioned to their current gender)

because people use the term "trans headcanon" to refer to all of these and it leads to a lot of confusion

Can anyone stop being an anti black racist for a moment? I want a chance at enjoying things again

[vithcy]

I'm not even kidding it's so clear that everyone sees black people and especially black women as some sort of alternate species. I'm getting into doll collection & customization videos because I've been getting into collecting myself and toys and art are supposed to bring me happiness and even there I can't escape the anti blackness. Like... you're lucky if you find a character or doll that's consistently brown skinned and carefully designed in popular brands. Collectors will always favor light skin or fantasy colors anyways. I had to watch a white creator call a custom Garnet doll "dummy thicc" and describe her in progress proportions as "female rappery" why couldn't just have said curvy? You're not funny or cool and I'm very tired

Tips for Writing Injuries

✧ Broken ribs suck. You don’t just “walk it off.” Breathing hurts. Laughing hurts. Existing hurts. Characters with rib injuries won’t be doing heroic sprints.

✧ Concussions aren’t instant naps. Dazed vision, nausea, dizziness, maybe even personality changes, but they’re not going to collapse neatly like in the movies.

✧ Blood loss is sneaky. It’s not just about dramatic pools of blood. It’s dizziness, confusion, and the body getting cold as circulation tanks.

✧ Adrenaline lies. Someone can take a serious injury and not feel it until the fight’s over. That “I didn’t realize I was bleeding until later” trope? Very real.

✧ Twisted ankles are brutal. One bad step and suddenly running is off the table. Even walking hurts like hell. Perfect way to ground a chase scene.

✧ Burns linger. Even small burns hurt more than most people expect. Blisters, infection risk, constant pain, it’s not just a cool scar later.

✧ Dislocated shoulders = useless arm. Characters can’t keep swinging a sword or firing a gun. They’re basically fighting one-armed until it’s fixed.

✧ Shock is a thing. Pale skin, trembling, rapid heartbeat, and eventually disorientation. A character might not even realize how bad their wound is.

✧ Stitches aren’t magic. Getting sewn up is painful and recovery takes time. They’re not instantly battle-ready after a needle and thread.

✧ Scars tell stories. Some fade, some don’t. Some stay sensitive forever. Don’t forget the aftermath when the wound becomes part of the character.

my pet theory is that there is a fairly significant percentage of people with brains primed for analysis of one kind or another but who lack the necessary framework to do so in a productive and meaningful way. maybe they grew up in an area with little educational opportunities or struggled in the conventional modern school system. no shame in any of that since no one is born with an innate understanding of ontology and epistemology but it does mean that a lot of people are the equivalent of an understimulated border collie in a studio apartment, brainpower-wise. and sometimes you see someone neck deep in meaningless internet discourse and it’s like please pick up a philosophy textbook you will love it i promise
