i’m not wild about the implicit comparison to a literal alien, but it’s also… fine. it feels a bit othering in the kind of way like, the owner wishes political dialogue wasn’t constantly about trans people (… which i agree with!) i think they’re probably not transphobic, but i would also hazard a guess they don’t really Get It, either

need to keep this image on deck lmao

speaking of yaoi, is there any yaoi out there which doesn’t feature / almost exclusively depict non-consentual / unwanted sex? it’s, quite frankly, a horrible fucking turn off, and i feel like i’ve run into it every time i’ve read any yaoi (not boy’s love)

check out monster hunter (world/rise/wilds) and hop on bow, light bowgun, or heavy bowgun. expect a steep learning curve, but it shouldn’t be bad if you’re used to soulslikes, monhun is just precious with iframes, so it’s a lot tighter to iframes through moves than it is in a typical souls/like

if you pick it up and end up needing a hand, hit me up! always happy to teach people how to hunt

shoutout to demon’s souls for its cracked out magic system, it goes hard lmao

Rule

i also miss cohost…

yoooo nice, yeah finding the collectibles in khazan has been kinda tough… i just wrapped my piss (friend group name for lies of p lmao) ng run and now i’m gonna do ng+ with plc… it took me like a year to finish piss LOL, i was really slow on it but i’m cooking now because of my friend group

anyone here on khazan aka HOT GUY SOULS?? great blend of fast paced combat, broken combos, and a varied and expressive defense game. and the protag is a hot guy. really really enjoying it, including the over-the-top korean revenge plot

that’s what happens when you start to push your skills to see as far as they’ll go

although it seems like you may not have realized that skill is just a function of your natural ability, the people around you who might have taught you (or not) and… time invested

i think it’s harder to view your skill as a part of your identity, once you realize that. like, i am very good at soulslikes / monster hunter, which is cool and flashy, but also… i’ve been playing them for almost ten years now, and games as a whole my entire life: of course i’m good at them

on the other hand, you might struggle to learn something despite your time invested… then it sucks, because you’re probably missing something, or just not very naturally inclined towards what you’re trying to learn. but you there’s nothing you can do about that but seek out teachers and continue to try

at the end of the day, all you can really count as a merit for or against yourself is the time you’ve invested

…

all that said, we all recognize we each have inherent worth on the basis that we exist and we’re alive… right? :)

can a brotha get a sound warning on this piece?

turned my volume up bc i thought it was gonna be a quiet fox noise and got CLANGGGG 💀💀💀
