some things I’ve said before dying in a video game

I just wanna see what that is

I’m saving my medkits for when I really need them

I can survive this jump

And: I should save, but I’m sure it’ll be fine…

Need for Speed PS4 Gameplay

[lekosis]

The Fandoms as People Who Showed Up At Your Beach Party

Marvel: Looks like a jock but is actually super chill once you get to chatting.  Wears a backwards baseball cap.  Brings the keg.

DC: Marvel’s goth buddy.  Always seems angry about something.  Starts the bonfire and stares at it for a really long time.

Mass Effect: Their significant other died tragically a few years back and they’re not really over it yet.  They try to put on a brave face and they’re always telling jokes but when the booze starts flowing they get real quiet and sad.

Dragon Age: Showed up with Mass Effect a few parties ago and hasn’t left the group since.  Hipster, life of the party, super comfortable with their sexuality and ready to fight about it.  Might have a little baggage, and sometimes gets high with Mass Effect and just repeats, “Fuck, man.  I mean, fuck,” over and over again.

Star Wars: Coordinates the beach volleyball game.  Laid back.  Loves people in spite of their flaws.  Gets hit on a lot.  Has kind of a shitty home situation but works hard to be happy in spite of it.  Gives really good advice to people who have trouble with their parents.

Elder Scrolls:  Has a killer sword collection at home.  Goes to Ren faires.  Spends most of the party getting stoned with Mass Effect by the shore and staring at the stars, occasionally whispering, “whooooaaaa…” 

Fallout: The local phone-jailbreaker.  Jury-rigs a makeshift grill from abandoned car parts when everybody else forgets to bring stuff.  Really good at cooking meat.  Like… eerily good at it. 

Pokemon: Somebody’s kid brother they couldn’t leave at home.  Runs around on the beach finding snails to shove down people’s pants.  Bonds with one.  Cries when they have to leave it behind at the end of the party.  Everybody watching becomes oddly nostalgic for their lost youth.  They remember when they were that innocent.

Adventure Time: Funniest person at the party.  Talks to their dog like he’s a person and got everybody else to start doing it too.  Gets really happy when drunk and passes out candy.  Drags the sad people out of their shells with screaming hyper laughing energy.  Leads the group in song.

Stephen Universe: Takes their food really seriously, wears a look of intense concentration on their face as they arrange grilled stuff on their plate.  Laughs at EVERY joke.  Even the dumb ones.

Dishonored: Spends literally the entire party staring out to sea, looking for whales.

Star Trek:  The chill older dude who owns the beach house and lets you use it for parties.  Looks intimidating at first glance but sells weed to all of your friends.  Makes sure everybody who shows up is safe, and gives fantastic relationship advice.  Has seen everything and just likes to see the young people having a good time.

list of nice let's players

idk i’m just gonna make this list so that people can enjoy watching someone play a video game without being upset. it’s hard to find nice let’s players sometimes. 

this is a list of let’s players I know of who either i’ve never heard use oppressive language at all, or when confronted at the use of hurtful words, respond kindly and just don’t use those words anymore. (the list is going to be pretty small right now, but it should give you a lot of material to watch if you’re into it. i’ll update it as I follow more people. I watch a lot of let’s plays.) please note that this list is obviously not a conclusive list, and that, of course, i haven’t seen every video by these let’s players, so i can’t vouch for everything they’ve ever made. if you hear or see something hurtful, let me know and I’ll try and check it out and update the list! if you’ve recommended someone and they don’t show up on the list, it’s probably just because i haven’t had a chance to check them out. also, most of the let’s players on this do use casual ableism, although a couple are trying to get out of the habit. 

ANYWAY, on with the list!

I appreciate this list. I personally seek out such types.
