My Beloveds

@sproutheals @LizzieMarbach Sprout about to get knighted an honorary homie. Crazy that some people just don’t like that my hobbies include something other than doomscrolling TikTok til my brain melts or staring blankly at the tv with a beer in my hand til I pass out

@LizzieMarbach I think generalizing what is attractive to all women is very unattractive of you as a person.. What is wrong with a man playing video games? It’s a hobby. Just like anything you spend hours doing for fun. Let a man decompress after work with his friends playing games. Jeez.

I know this is unpopular, but it will always be unattractive for a grown man to play video games. Some women might be understanding or pretend like they don’t care that you spend hours playing, but they do. It is extremely unattractive to women and will never not be. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@E_Cypher017 @sproutheals Probably. I have an Oakensoul build I use for 80% of the content I do. Since fashion is the endgame, I like running quests and zone achievements for dyes and other things. Currently those areas are not hard, so you can get away with a very suboptimal build/playstyle

@HighRoadSoIdier @sproutheals Is the light attack weaving still a thing? Cause my god that's annoying af when LA is not your playstyle 😂

the current WoW story has me wanting to just go play swtor to feel something 💀

@sproutheals @E_Cypher017 I recommend giving ESO another shot. It has a new game lead that seems to genuinely care about players. They’ve revamped a lot of systems to make it more respectful of player time and effort and changing systems that feel extremely outdated

@E_Cypher017 I was thinking about giving ESO another try!

@sproutheals @xternalsin Why isn’t this being liked more? Don’t have a good day, have a great day 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@xternalsin I love my country. Have a good day 🇺🇸

“I wish we could hangout.. but how unfortunate that you live in such an ugly country!” What the fuck? Quickest unfollow in my life. What is wrong with people? Have respect for people and where they live, better yet if you don’t… just don’t say anything?

@LostHistory9 Fëanor, what’s your take on the first Fable? That to me is a much truer “classic”

Skyrim is "classic" now, apparently. That game was made fun by the modding community, not because of anything cool the devs did. *Side quests were boring and repetitive. *The main villain was weak sauce compared to villains in previous installments, particularly Morrowind. *The whole main story was a boring slog until you got to Sovngarde. *DLC questlines had the same issues as the main and side quests in the base game. *Giving players choice on things like the civil war or joining the Dark Brotherhood threw a wrench into planning stories for future installments. *Armour and weapon selection was hot garbage until the modders got a hold of the game. *The only redeeming quality the base game had was the soundtrack. ES6 is gonna be, in all likelihood, a dumpster fire that'll unfortunately make a ton of money because, like GTA6, there's a metric ton of hype and speculation surrounding it. And of course, the modding community will come in to save the day, and Bethesda will have learned nothing.

@LostHistory9 The issue I think lies with the major plot points of each book, how long each is going to take, and then realizing you don’t have a runtime that can include all of it. The entire runtime of Fellowship could be burned up by the time Frodo even gets to Rivendell

@LostHistory9 Do you think another director/studio would have done a more faithful adaptation? And how many films would they have had to do to get it all in there in your opinion? There are some things about the films I prefer, for instance Aragorn’s stance on being king.

I rip on the Jackson films for how inaccurate they are, and will continue to do so. But there's no denying that Weta did incredible work.

@AlexTran677026 The movie is Inception, and this clip does not do the scene justice in the slightest. The pinwheel is just the icing on the cake, the real substance is in the conversation Fischer has with his father before opening the safe.

Robert Fischer Jr. (played by Cillian Murphy) opens that safe, finds the paper pinwheel — the one memory his father secretly kept — and everything changes. Murphy’s voice‑less breakdown in that moment is pure acting at its finest. With Hans Zimmer’s incredible, time‑bending score behind it and the greatest director, Christopher Nolan, 15 years ago, giving the world a cinematic masterpiece, this scene still makes us feel something real. 🔥

@Simon_Hypixel It’s easy for all of us on the other side of the curtain to forget that the biggest fans and supporters of Hytale are you guys working on it every day. The frustration we felt being gaslit into believing the new engine would be a good thing must only be amplified by the team

People ask me how I feel about getting Hytale back and getting closer to release. Honestly, the transparent answer is anger. The game has insane potential, but four years of engineering went into rebuilding the engine rather than gameplay features. That leaves us with a four-year gap and a lot of catching up to do, and that rebuilt engine is never gonna be used. When you don’t invest in gameplay, you don’t just lose time. You lose momentum, iteration, and player feedback. Now the focus has to be on gameplay first and rebuilding trust by actually shipping things at a rapid pace. It’s a damn miracle we were able to salvage Hytale. It was barely playable. All basics were broken. Camera, movement, combat, crafting, building, gameloop, sounds, rendering. Everything, everything was wrong. It should have taken years to fix, but within weeks, we got the game into a playable, fun state. And now, instead of slowing down or celebrating a release, we have to keep pushing for years to make up for the time that was lost. So yes, I feel anger. And I’m turning that into focus and execution. I’m committing more money, more time, and personal sacrifice to deliver the game this vision deserves.

@Simon_Hypixel Is this new music? It sounds incredible. Really hoping there’s an OST available to buy at launch so I can listen to the music while I work

I love Hytale

@Jodi_Realm @not_mynes I do agree, and I do love Minecraft and had many enjoyable memories and years playing with my cousins, but I’m excited for Hytale because it offers something that Minecraft at its core lacks: adventure. The Skyrim level adventures with the Minecraft level home to come back to.

Sadly, even if I'm not personally interested in Hytale and such Many people aren't choosing to see Hytale as a cool new game they can play but instead "Minecraft replacement because we hate Mojang!" so they'll only ask for stuff that's in Minecraft This same mentality applies to plenty of other game series, some other examples: Pokemon and Palworld Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves The Legend of Zelda and a bunch of other RPGs Any sort of console war As much as the game should be treated as it's own thing, people are gonna just compare it to Minecraft and play it like it's Minecraft purely for the sake of not playing Minecraft but playing a game like Minecraft. It's the biggest "I actually like the game I hate, but I won't admit that so I'll find similar games" out there I wish it wasn't like this man

"is there keep inventory" "is there a peaceful mode" "is there redstone" "what does Hytale's enchanting system look like" Do you guys want a 1 to 1 Minecraft clone or an actually new and innovative game in the genre. Not EVERY feature from Minecraft needs to be in Hytale

@Simon_Hypixel will there be an OST releasing with Hytale’s early access, especially one for sale on streaming platforms? I buy all my music, plus it’d be a nice way to support development even more 👍🏻

@RinoTheBouncer Fable! Really hoping the reboot does well and captures the same magic as the first one, though the first was lightning in a bottle so I’m not sure if I should get my hopes up

Name it!🚀

@garethcoker Thanks for the response. Sorry to hear about that, hopefully everything is okay. Your soundtracks are my favorite part of any ARK release so a few days before the date I start checking the store for them. Take your time though, family stuff is certainly more important!

@HighRoadSoIdier I've been dealing with a severe personal / family issue for the past month (basically while writing Lost Colony) but I expect into have the OST up next week sometime. I usually try to get them out the same day but it just wasn't possible this time.

@garethcoker Is there a timeline on when soundtracks get released on streaming platforms after the game/DLC releases? I’ve been anxiously awaiting the Ark: Lost Colony soundtrack but no luck on the Apple Store yet…

@AtypConclusions @PaulTassi I second this. Should be AI inspiration, human finishing touches. 100%

Goddamnit I did this in ten minutes. I genuinely didn't think it could. It's even thinking up somewhat plausible perks? Jesus Never believe another leak, I'm serious. Goes for all games

@Fullautomania1 @TheOnlyZanny I’m a simple man. I see Fable, I like.

@TheOnlyZanny on pc it brought me to a website to cancel and it was slow as well

send me screenshots of your cancelled Game Pass subscriptions, it brings me much pleasure

@_middleEarth Gonna second the comments here, I absolutely need to know where these are and who the artist is. Not only would one of these become my new phone background, I would very likely buy prints of these. Please and thank you!

@hawk_tjc @tipsformenx This is the winner. Always got me compliments when I wore it.

@tipsformenx Whenever I feel like it. -Signed, a normal middle class Dad
