@profdekarios @PaladinFeora Reminds me of this video 🥲 youtu.be/aJX4ytfqw6k?is…

@PaladinFeora yeah and like who cares sksks we’re all here because in theory we like the same gameslop

listen i get that as fans we’re trying not to add to the hate bombing and all that, but i do think it’s kinda odd that i know multiple dragon age fans who are lowkey scared of giving their actual assessment of datv because people within fandom Will jump for their throat

@aakashgupta At this point, the only thing he hasn't done is to go on a podcast with RedLetterMedia.

The math on William Shatner’s existence is hard to process. He was born closer to the Civil War than to today. Montreal, 1931. His father manufactured clothes. His first acting role came in 1951, the same year color TV was introduced to the American public. Star Trek premiered in 1966. It lasted 3 seasons and got cancelled. The first rerun aired before humans had walked on the Moon. Those reruns are still generating licensing revenue 57 years later. He’s been famous for 60 consecutive years. He survived being typecast so severely in the 1970s that he did convention appearances for grocery money. He survived his third wife’s death. He survived Hollywood writing him off as a joke. Then he weaponized the joke. Priceline commercials. The roast. Spoken-word albums where he recites Elton John lyrics as dramatic monologue. Every project that should have ended his career somehow added to it. At 73, back-to-back Emmys for Boston Legal. At 90, oldest person to fly to space. At 94, a Super Bowl ad. At 95, 4.3 million people watching him smoke a cigar on X. His career has now outlasted the Soviet Union, the Space Shuttle program, Blockbuster Video, MySpace, and the first three generations of AI models. He’s been working since Truman and he’s posting through the Claude era. The compounding is the point. 75 years of showing up created a distribution moat that no amount of talent alone could replicate.

@_TsNika Yes, thank you 👌✨️

A post about Solas eyelashes

@werecock Yeah... 😌 "I am dying, but no matter. If there is any hope, any way to save them, my life is yours." Gives me chills every time.

Why is blighted Solas in Hushed Whispers kinda........

@kalaelizabeth If you're into weird little Indie games, "The Dream Machine" is an episodic point & click gem that permanently altered my brain chemistry. The ending is such a mindf*ck, I still think about it all the time. 😂 It also looks so unique, literally made out of clay and cardboard. ❤️

Without spoilers, what video games do you think have the best narrative? Doesn't matter the genre, just want a good story. Looking for new games to play.

@capslokbitch @northgalis Yeah, all of this 🥲 I didn't need my theories to be true! But they somehow answered every big mystery in such a poor way *while also* dropping so many threads completely that I eventually stopped caring cuz I felt like I was giving it so much more thought than the game ever did.

@LoeBadger @northgalis like my au fic is full of my theories and hcs, its obvs not 'canon' but the beauty of old DA was that everyone COULD theorise. DAV just left me w a sour taste in my mouth. a million routes to take and they went.... with THAT one.

why did they even raise the question of the Veil in the first place

@capslokbitch @northgalis I keep thinking back to how the "Elvhen/spirit connection" theory (tumblr.com/mrs-gauche/755…) made SO much sense to me, given all the flippin hints, I was confident that's the direction they would go.. 😅 (Continued in screenshots, because screw it, I need to vent I guess lol)

@northgalis the veil, the blighted underground city from dao, the dwarves et. all, the elves of the tirashan, the cure for the blight, the architect/other magisters sidereal, sandal et. all, the importance of the OGB, the well of sorrows, the chant = titan's song?, WAY MORE STUFF than this

@northgalis When the game is called The Veilguard and the Veil is never addressed in any meaningful way

@northgalis Sometimes I look at all the stuff Bioware posted before release, my (more or less) stupid theories and think "oh sweet summer child" 🥲 And then I genuinely wonder, why did they even phrase their promotional stuff like that? 💀

@wildheartthe2nd @northgalis "Fear breeds a desire for simplicity. Good and evil. Right and wrong." To think that this line from Solas was written by the same people ten years ago. The tragic irony of it all. What happened.

@northgalis Something something fascism makes people retreat into simplistic stories with good guys and bad guys with hero worship

uplifting good hopeful writing is when nothing bad happens and bad things are obviously bad and good things are obviously good and they never meet

@Dayi37381334 Edgeworth and the stuffed bear (and every single fanart of it)

What is your favorite AA meme or repeated joke? For me is this

@RynthlenHid What if there was an even bigger Scooby Doo plottwist where, after Solas is exposed, Charter does an uno reverse and removes her own mask, revealing it was actually Lavellan all along. lol

The concept of the Inquisitor being the one to face and unmask Solas during the spy meeting of “The Dread Wolf Take You” instead of Charter in Tevinter Nights.

@aceattorneygame I still love seeing people's reactions whenever I get the chance to say that the desk lamp from Ghost Trick has one of the saddest backstories in all of gaming and that desk lamp WILL make you cry. lol

This month marks the 15th anniversary of the Japanese release of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, but today is also the 2 year anniversary of the revival of Shu Takumi's classic mystery puzzle game! Celebrate with us by sharing your Ghost Trick art, cosplay, and memories!

@northgalis I'm still in Act 1, just met Esquie! ❤️ But yes, it's absolutely beautiful in every way! Love the aesthetic, the story, world, characters, the music, the mystique, everything. Truly a work of art (quite literally 😁). Can't wait to see where the story goes!

clair obscur so good I feel sorry for people who don't play video games

@unifadewalker Yes, or when you use the flycam at the Well of Sorrows and not only gets Solas visibly nervous as he watches the Inquisitor step into the well, but also the way he rushes in to see if they're okay. 😂🥹❤️

Yes! Yes we can!! If you watch him throughout the game, he’s the first person to check if the nameless NPCs are ok, if the common folk need help, his body language is always turned towards inky, I adore this man!!

@_coromoor Yeah, the contrast is fascinating. 😂 Rook is like so happy-go-lucky and so oblivious to the gravity of the situation, they only get the haunting bedtime stories to remind them of what's at stake. 😖

@LoeBadger ahh that’s a lovely post & also IMMEDIATELY brought to mind the contrast to the stories solas told rook which were all horrific about lost spirits with their names burned away, elves turned into animals but still conscious… desperate times call for desperate measure huh?

man just thinking how horrifying it must have been for solas to be trapped in uthenera for 1000s of years, only able to see the world through dreams… the HORROR of seeing the 1st blight start through the nightmares of the people caught up in it & not being able to do anything 😭

>They call her Osaka-sensei Guys...she did it. I'm going to weep.

HOLY FUCKSHIT! OSAKA (yes, the Ayumu Kasuga) IS IN THE NEXT YOTSUBA CHAPTER. These are just Korean leaks, but they seem about as legit as they come. This is MONUMENTAL.

@northgalis They took that "Now he alone is left in the world" of Dalish legends about Fen'Harel a bit too literal. 💀💀💀

lrt just imagine if the game that came out after DAI didn't allow you to speak to a single normal living ancient elf besides Solas, wouldn't that be such a nutty direction

@elfbotanist The Inquisitor was like "Mission accomplished" 🥹🥹🥹

they cooked so good when they wrote callback chapter in tevinter nights regret demon basically saying that solas could have told his friends, could have worked with them. He regretted using the inquisitor AND his friends
