[Updated Pinned Post, October 2024] You can find me mainly on discord (dm me if you're a mutual and I'll probably share my username) And also 🟦⛅ at falconsquill.bsky.social I also have a tumblr with the same name but tbh I don't use tumblr much anymore.

It was so liberating when I realized this debate is meaningless and doesn’t matter very much

@UkeCreature Estrogen forces me to endure extremely worsened mental health due to pmdd every month, and that's just one part of it. Props to trans people who like estrogen and what it does for them, but it couldn't be less fitting for me

uke creature🇵🇸🚩@UkeCreature·18h

a trans man saying “estrogen is poison” makes perfect sense to me for the same reason a trans woman saying “testosterone is poison” does. in both cases it causes unwanted, highly distressing changes to the body. of course i’ll empathize with my fellow trans people

But then again, this is the Gaming Community™️ that starts throwing tantrums when games add *optional* accessibility options that make their games playable by more people, because how dare they have to share their hobby with disabled people.

Already seen some fuckwits pull the "Omg you people can't do anything" like this is their first day alive and the idea that some people cannot physically play (at least some) video games is revolutionary

One of my friends from uni has degenerative blindness and had a very difficult time with FF15 because the font size is so small. My brother has cerebral palsy and can't hold a controller at all. Even when an accessible one's available, games often demand too-quick inputs.

nobody ever mentions epilepsy, migraines, and motion sickness when talking about the playing vs watching for story video games debate. that should be the first talking point

I'm sorry this entire debate is stupid: Yes, in a MODERN era, pirating games is an option for MOST people! However, if your PC or phone cannot run a game you want to play? A playthrough is a good alternative to understand the story/charactersl

Some of the worst and most inaccurate video game takes I've seen have come from those sorts of gamers.

English

FalconsQuill@FalconsQuill·13h

Also if playing a game yourself is necessary to comprehend the story, then a lot of gamers need to go and play their entire library again because a lot of them do not actually understand the games they're playing. 100 hours in a game means nothing if you don't pay attention.

And tbh, even having a PS2, 3DS and old computer were lucky. Plenty of other kids I knew hardly had even one of those things.

English

FalconsQuill@FalconsQuill·13h

I'm learning that according to Twitter I might not be a True Gamer because the only consoles I owned until 2016 were a PS2, a 3DS and a family computer from 2002 that ran Windows XP, so I had to settle for watching Let's Plays until I could afford a PS4/5 and PC myself.

English

FalconsQuill@FalconsQuill·13h

@p5q9r8wnk @AlamoIqbal @BiXolotl But if people want to play anything more recent than something that came out 20 years ago, emulating on a phone won't cut it. If they can't afford current consoles/PC's then of course Let's Plays would be easier for them to access

English

Marqeuse@p5q9r8wnk·13h

@FalconsQuill @AlamoIqbal @BiXolotl Don't buy the laptop and get a Chinese android phone, always lunch above their price point. Any $300 Poco will emulate up to PS2

English

🪶MrBlueCat🪶@BiXolotl·23h

Man I would have loved to play god of war, but I couldn’t because I didn’t have s PlayStation or pc as a kid. So I had to watch people like jacksepticeye play it because I couldnt afford a console. To call someone a larper for that is honestly classist and privileged

Gaming is expensive, what part of that do people not understand? A PS5 costs $800, a Switch 2 costs $700, a middle-ground gaming PC can still be over $1000. Games themselves cost anywhere from $70-120+. Even many online services cost money.

English

FalconsQuill@FalconsQuill·13h

"There's no excuse for not being able to play video games because you can emulate them on your phone" So as a Certified Gamer™️ my phone has only 64gb of storage and most modern games release with at least a 50-100gb file size. A phone with enough storage/power is like $1500+.

English

FalconsQuill@FalconsQuill·14h

@AlamoIqbal @BiXolotl A cheap, basic laptop costs about $300 AUD. A PS5 costs $800 and each game released is usually $90-120. Even a PS4 was $400-500. One is a lot more feasible for someone to afford than the other.

@BiXolotl If you could afford a device to watch someone play it, you could afford a device to play it on, larper

@_rhodetodell Outside of that he'd be a wanderer, hunting dangerous predators, monsters or voidsent that had started to throw the local area out of balance. As WoL, he loses sight in his right eye due to Light/Shb but non-WoL, it's because he suffers a major injury there instead.

English

FalconsQuill@FalconsQuill·21h

@_rhodetodell Ra'shan would eventually become known as an elite adventurer with a lot of knowledge about voidsent and ancient methods of casting magic, on account of his vieran elders teaching him. He'd occasionally even assist the Scions with problems concerning those things.

@_rhodetodell There are too many to list honestly. Thancred/Urianger, Red Hot/Deep Blue, Hector/Retsarra, Jullus/Zero, Sadu/Cirina, and so many other good ships

@sammylee_0 FF12 is also rated very highly and so are the first two of FF7R trilogy

English

FalconsQuill@FalconsQuill·1d

@sammylee_0 My first was FF15 and honestly, it's still one of my favourites because of how real and human the main group feel. FF14 is my top favourite now but 15 is still very high up there
