>>1047434 >Other way is for giant squids with psychic powers. Having tentacles aside, did you imagine using telekinesis, or mind controlling other species into manual (heh) work? >inb4 Yes.

>>1047712 I didn't think about mind controlling psychically. I did think about a parasite attaching itself to the nerve system of another species. That feels like cheating as well though.

>PLAYAN Factorio. Reloaded and redesigned twice until I finally got a platform that works. >WATCHAN Dragonsteel convention stuff. Kinda meh this year. >LISTENAN Final Fantasy XV soundtrack. >READAN Finally got Graveyard of Demons, my latest dose of blood and death. >EATAN Homemade taquitos, pretty good. >DRINKAN Just water. >FAPPAN Zelda and Link tied up together. >FEELAN Better, low on sleep 'cause of work issues. >>1047467 "There she goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die." >>1047327 Not sure I'd call Cinder cute, but certainly beautiful.

>>1022880 >PLAYAN <Monster Hunter GU Got this game to burn time until wilds came out. Damn this game is way more vibrant than world and rise and there's tons of monsters in here that I'm just dumbfounded at the variety and why the hell they haven't come back, especially for how simple some would be to implement like Bulldromes or how cool some are like Nibelsnarf. Also don't get why people were pissing their pants about the loading screens, it's the same length as the area transitions in the 3D zelda games, just an actual loading screen instead of hid behind an animation. Barely a bother. Aerial Gunlance is also very, very fun. Hunter arts and styles in general is a pretty neat system that doesn't seem like it'd be too out of place in something like World, definitely wouldn't be as horseshit as clutch claw was. <Outer Wilds I finished echoes of the eye. I think? That ending had me moved to tears for what was effectively just a slideshow, but I wonder if I can do it without dying to get past the alarm bells and there's one last thing to do. I can say that the last thing I was expecting to find in that vault was what was actually in there, though. poor guy, but it's due to him that the game's events were set in motion, so freeing his soul is the least we can do, in that sense. Pic 2 is from someone else's run since I was too into it at the moment to get a screenshot. <Granblue Fantasy VS: Rising Last thing I expected was for this game to show up in a Sseth video, even if it was just typical GBF fan degenracy in the message book. Still playing the sheepy, I've been using a skin lately that I thought was based off of an alt of hers, but might just be based off that Vtuber sheep. Watame? I'm not sure, either way I'll keep using it or the gyaru one. It's a good color combo. >WATCHAN Nothin, too busy playan. >LISTENAN Random music, nothing in particular, some christmas music too. >READAN Not today. >EATAN Chicken nachos. >DRINKAN Water and Baja Blast Mountain Dew. >FAPPAN No >FEELAN Very very good. Finished my semester and now I have an associate's in cybersecurity. Now comes the hard part of getting my certs and finding a damn job so I can stop this nightshift hell. Or fully commit to it at least. >>1047467 Beautiful little birdy. Interesting that she lived so long. Maybe when she finally passes we can study her DNA to see if she's just really lucky or some rare mutation caused this. >>1047434 Don't feel too bad about it, you're still creative enough even if your ideas aren't entirely original. It's human nature to derive things from what we know and modify and improve upon them. There is nothing new under the sun, after all, so, don't shit on yourself for that. Truly foreign ideas aren't necessary for a good story, either, and can often be to its own detriment, as can be seen with the dozens upon dozens of examples of subversion or novel ideas cratering a story throughout media. Humans crave some familiarity after all. Take outer wilds, for example, the creatures presented in it aren't new, and are basically just four-eyed elves, three-eyed goats, and owl people with light eyes, but it's the way the tale of their old civilizations fall and you trying to solve and fix things based off what they left behind that makes it truly marvelous.

>>1047467 Her longtime mate Akeakamai is believed to have passed. Her current mate, whom this hatchling is their first child together, is now much younger than her. Here he is grooming her while they incubate their egg together.

>>1047738 >Not sure I'd call Cinder cute, but certainly beautiful. Yeah, but "beautiful" doesn't work with the meme. >>1044956 >futa on male Also promotions

>PLAYAN Atlyss, The Binding of Isaac, Noita >WATCHAN Moetan >LISTENAN nothing, at the moment >READAN Story about a fortune-telling viking traveling to Japan to fight yokai, while slowly falling in love with a kitsune. >EATAN Off-brand oreos >DRINKAN Coffee that I fucked up >FAPPAN https://exhentai.org/g/2395558/8cf7ef89d3/ "Mayonaka no Yoruko-san" Lolidom doujin that reads sort of like The Laughing Salesman, wherein an enigmatic fox monster loli travels at night and makes men give in to their worst urges. Pretty good read/fap, all things considered. >FEELAN Not bad. Not all that good but not bad. Once again I've added to my beyblade collection, but since I can only really play against myself, it's more of a collection than anything. Trying to find a game that gives me the same feeling I had when I first played Legend of Mana, with mixed results.

>PLAYAN Synthetik and Breath of the wild. Did play it a while back, but ended up dropping it after finishing o w of the divine beast. It's fun. Been thinking of gifting synthetik to a workmate for doing me a huge favour. >WATCHAN Nothing >LISTENAN One of those guys on youtube reading reddit AITA or relationship advice posts and it's updates. >READAN Ladies on top, a lewd female dominance (not BDSM) manga. Female smut >> male smut. >EATAN Had a potluck lunch at work, I gorged myself on spring rolls, focaccia, moose sausage among other things. >DRINKAN Beer and white wine. >FAPPAN Nah >FEELAN Okay. Did finish my Christmas gift for my nieces, 5 and 3 years old. Each of them will receive ten buttons with different images on them that they can attach to their clothes, bags, ect. I really need to practice on my yo-yo skills, last time I meet them, this summer, they were very excited about me bringing along my yo-yo and showing off my skills.

>PLAYAN Just about to travel to Vulcanus in Factorio >WATCHAN Deep Space Nine >LISTENAN C&C >READAN Almost done with Graveyard of Demons >EATAN Baked ham >DRINKAN Just water >FAPPAN Not sure where the sudden bounty of bondage maid Zelda came from, but not complaining >FEELAN Better 'cause it's the weekend

>PLAYAN Master duel still. Fuck this game. I have had more success with the madolche cards in the duelist cup but playing the solo mode is either 2 easy because Madolche op, or it is too hard because the loaner decks are garbage. Why am I playing this instead of tag force? >WATCHAN I watched rank10ygo. >LISTENAN Something I cannot remember. >READAN Card text. >EATAN cereal >DRINKAN milk >FAPPAN I did do that today. Tracer is awful but I love seeing lesbians getting raped straight. >FEELAN It is 03:15 saturday and i cannot sleep. I wish I could sleep but I cannot. I just know I am going to wake up at like 1pm tomorrow and look like an idiot and miss the delivery man. Feeling stupid because I should have fixed my sleeping problem a whole ago but I didn't.

>PLAYAN A bit of Turtle WoW earlier. Managed to hit 60 with a good day and some change to spare before I "needed" to do it. I played pretty sub-optimally, in part due to playing Alliance instead of Horde, but overall, it felt pretty good, especially after getting deep into the talent tree. With that done, I might end the night on some Pokerogue or something. >WATCHAN/LISTENAN Probably some Oneyplays. >READAN I should do that more. >EATAN Cheddarwurst and egg noodles. I've never had the former before, but I can say it's fucking delightful. If I can snag it on a deep markdown in the future, I'll probably grab and freeze a good couple. >DRINKAN Milk and water. >FAPPAN thick 3DPD >FEELAN Calmer than I was earlier. Work ended on a less-than-ideal note today, but I was able to take care of the stress buildup in fairly quick order. Gonna enjoy my weekend off before the pre-Christmas shitshow.

>>1047645 >PLAYAN <Bo 6 I finished the EE of the zombie map, so I already deleted that shit from my PC <Genshin Impact I want to secure Mauvika, so I'm shooting for Neuvillette to lose the 50/50 and be able to secure my waifu <Smite & Smite 2 I only play them to get the cosmetics for the new TLOTR movie, other than that, the truth is I haven't played these MOBAS much <Vampire Survivors I came back to play this game since I bought the first DLC of the game, and the truth is anons, I have been enjoying it a lot, in a few days I plan to buy the rest >WATCHAN <The Salvation This movie is one of those poorly made things but that gives it a peculiar touch, a movie that I sincerely do not recommend <the boy in the striped pyjamas The truth is I had seen this movie as a child, and now as an adult I really liked it, I really recommend it >LISTENAN I still listen to rock from the 80's and a little bit from the 00's >READAN I spend every day the Bibles that my girlfriend sends me by message >EATAN Quesadillas >DRINKAN Watuh >FAPPAN Not in the mood >FEELAN Lately I have been feeling down, the truth is I don't know what to do with myself anymore, every day it becomes more difficult to get out of my bed, one of you anons please kidnap me and make me your sex slave

>>1022880 >PLAYAN Genshin Impact (I wanted something like BOTW and this is that, but not as good, but with cute anime girls) Diablo 4 (can't afford the POE2 EA right now so I'm soloing with a necro on hardcore, fearing the moment I hear "FRESH MEAT!") >WATCHAN Secret Level >LISTENAN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihw6VMU17r8 this popped up in my feed just now >READAN D&D PHB, rolling new characters for the new year >EATAN Butter chicken with garlic bread >DRINKAN Water, and Pepsi Max >FAPPAN NA >FEELAN Good!

>PLAYAN <Granblue Fantasy VS: Rising Ran some sets with some friends. Ended up getting a double KO for the first time. I thought this wasn't possible in this game, but it can happen when far-reaching moves interact with projectiles, causing a double counter-hit at the same time when the projectile user extends their hitbox as part of the animation and gets hit right as or just before the projectile comes out, which then counter-hits the person hitting them. Also had a really funny set where I won by pure luck when my opponent dropped their combo. Avatar Belial is stupid strong and can delete you from pretty high health thresholds, but if he fucks up he's basically dead due to super low max health and draining his HP with all of the moves he has to use to combo. Kind of interesting character that gets to be a bit more broken in exchange for that heavy drawback. Sorry for the quality being ass, the game is very VFX-intensive which makes it need a higher bitrate for smoother videos, which I can't do while keeping it uploadable here. <Outer Wilds Well, I finished the game. I get it now. Or rather, I already got why people had so much enjoyment solving one big super-interactive 3D spess puzzle, but I get why people praise the ending so much. Thinking back over the whole experience, especially with the DLC planet, I think it goes in my top 5. Probably in fifth or fourth place, but still, top 5. Give it a go I say if you like puzzles or are a lorehound like I am, which was my main draw to this game considering the whole archeology bend to it with discovering secrets of a long-dead race. I'll write a more formal review for the review thread over the weekend. Few games can move me to true tears without cheap tricks, but this game managed to do it with that ending, and in a fucking freeform adventure exploration game of all things. I never did figure out how the Nomai died though, but I had it spoiled to me when reading the comments of the vid I got that pic from last time I posted here. Fuck that stupid comet anyway I'm not doing trial-and-error-sliding-puzzles for one lore tidbit even if it adds a bit more to the ending and adds to the slideshow "ending" of Echoes of the Eye when sharing memories. Don't know if I'm going to go back and do all the achievements either, since most of them are just for doing funny or stupid BS. I might do it for fun though since there's a really cool one I want to go for that you get for riding the flood wave when the dam bursts in the Observer. Provided you can stay on it for 15 seconds.. Most of the others are stupid bullshit like going around the observer in 90 seconds or interacting with some random technology in funny ways. Or tedious bullshit like landing the model ship on the moon. Seriously, give it a pirate if you're remotely intrigued by the concept of the game. <Enotria: The Last Song Really enjoying this soulslike. Managed to reach the final boss as well but was too fatigued to sit down and beat him, got damn close though. After doing everything there is to do in the game, I think, except maybe collecting the last few lore notes I missed, I'd say the game was pretty good and it's worth a play. Though be warned, parry-focused. If you didn't like Sekiro for the parries you'll hate this game. Oddly enough for the final boss I'm having an easier time fighting him by just running out and in and getting stray hits, aiming for poison as I'm using a status/elemental build, rather than actually learning all his parry timings for his longer move combos in phase 2 and 3. I get less ripostes but I use a ton less healing items and get to the final phase faster. In his last phase he does this one strong "finale" attack of sorts though that gave me too much trouble where he summons eight orbs that then fire bullets at you. I wonder if I can sprint it instead of trying to parry it. >WATCHAN Nothing, too busy playan and I'd rather be playan than watchan. >LISTENAN See watchan >READAN Not today. >EATAN Spicy chicken nachos again from the same place. Though it's not the exact same as they were out of spicy chicken, so instead of getting chicken thoroughly mixed in with the spicy sauce they use they just put lots of the sauce on top of the normal chicken and apologized for the inconvenience. Tastes almost the same, but not quite. >DRINKAN Too much soda. >FAPPAN No >FEELAN GOOD. Being done with my finals and in the Christmas season with all this cheer has really lightened my mood. Feel kinda bad for missing all the Uncommon Time streams due to work or other factors though. I'll get the summer ones and winter ones for sure in 2025 if things go to plan though, since I'll be off nightshift by then, I fucking hope. Hard for a white guy to get a job in this economy. Still have to do all my Christmas shopping but since none of it is mail order I can just get it all knocked out all at once on Monday. I know a certain family member won't return the favor due to hatred of me and my 'tism and related behaviors, but it feels nice to give anyway and indirectly say you love them regardless. >>1050488 Nice dubs, anon. I'd be willing to comfort you but I'm not making you a sex slave, an indentured housemaid perhaps though, you have to put in some work now, anon. In all seriousness it'll get better. Trust me I know. You just have to pick yourself up, as damn hard as it will be, and keep going and aim to improve. Try writing or drawing or another creative hobby to get your mind off things. Something to do with your hands to help your mind be less idle and have less time to dwell on such awful things. There's no cure-all for despair or sadness, of course, but you can do many things to help alleviate it.

>PLAYAN Girl's Frontline 2 >WATCHAN Saw a video about Google's quantum processor. Looks very impressive. >LISTENAN nothing >READAN Looking on information to buy equipment to unyellow plastic from my controllers and consoles. >EATAN rice with turkey >DRINKAN Coca Cola Zero >FAPPAN no >FEELAN A bit frustrated because my custom paint job on a GameCube controller shell got a little crappy and I have to sand it like hell to do it again. I've been trying to improve my spray-painting skills for a while and testing some colors to see how it looked on plastic. I've also been searching for a color that resembles the Emerald Blue GameCube controller that released exclusively in Japan. Of course, I have one that I bought on Ebay, but I wanted to get at least a color that matches that turquoise-looking color for my future controllers.

It's my birthday. >PLAYAN Dunno, we'll see. I was playing pokemon diamond for the first time but I wasn't really feeling it at the moment, still deciding on what to play next. I found it mildly amusing that I unintentionally was very close to copying Cynthia's team exactly for my squad. Guess we have similar tastes. >WATCHAN stupid vidya shit on YT (mainly pokemon and OSRS shit at the moment, ive been on a pokemon tear as of late). Anyone got any interesting long-form vidya content to watch? >LISTENAN See above. >READAN Pokemon wikis and old smogon shit I guess. >EATAN Ate some Thai food yesterday with extended family, celebrated my cousin's graduation. >DRINKAN Water and apple juice. >FEELAN Meh. Its kinda nice but also annoying to see extended family. I'll be going back home soon to be with my immediate family over Christmas and New Years soon so that'll be nice. This year has been up and down all things considered, I have a lot to think about. It's strange. Turning 29 and there's a lot I haven't done yet. It's frustrating to have life pass you by without realizing it.

>>1050797 I've never seen one that color before. I looks like it's made to play Wave Race with.

>PLAYAN Just played some Breath of the wild, did a few shrines. >WATCHAN/LISTENAN One of those guys who reads up stories from reddit AITA and relationshipadvice with updates as "background noise". >READAN Nothing >EATAN Had some pizza earlier, making an omelette so I can bring along tomorrow when travelling >DRINKAN Diluting juice and beer. >FAPPAN I did, although I don't remember to what. >FEELAN Good. Leaving town tomorrow to spend Christmas with my parents. They have said they'll take me out to a fancy Indian restaurant when I get there.

I'm helping a friend write stories and helping him with characterization. That's pretty cool. I want to take an edible tonight, but I won't.

>PLAYAN Some Firered, but I don't want to be up too late. >WATCHAN Probably also pokemon-related stuff as background noise. >READAN Probably not at least until my work week ends. >EATAN A meatball sub. The ones I have in my freezer expired a lil while ago, so I'm trying to burn through them. >DRINKAN Eggnog. I tried it for the first time the other day, it's very okay, but not something I'd buy at full price. >FAPPAN Not really horny at the moment, and I don't foresee that changing. >FEELAN Not bad. Still trucking through work, but the next few days are going to be rough. Fortunately I think the bulk of my Christmas stuff is all but taken care of now.

>>1052836 Now, I'm not saying no, but why this book in particular?

>>1052856 No special reason, however I found it enjoyable.

>>1052861 But what did you find enjoyable in it?

On a lighter note, I've put together my first "meta combo" for beyblade and this shit is kinda nuts. It's Cobalt Dragoon on Elevate. Basically a "vampire" combo.

>>1022880 >PLAYAN Borderlands 2 (meh), Eternal Destiny (neat), Saints Row 4 (fine).

>>1052942 I really enjoyed SR4. Sort of like the Crackdown sequel that we deserved but never got.

>>1022880 >>PLAYAN WoW classic.

>>1050488 >PLAYAN <AC Valhalla I said I would drop this game, but I got the drip and the truth is it makes me want to keep playing it just to see my character showing it off <Genshin Impact Shoot 50 times to lose 50/50 and get nothing, the truth is I don't know whether to keep shooting on this banner or wait for Mavuika <Fortnite I still play it alone with my girlfriend, and anons, the master chief returns on the 23rd and I won't be able to afford it because I will have to buy gifts for all my brothers, sisters and nephews for this Christmas <Smite & Smite 2 Dead ass games <Minecraft With the latest update, the truth is that it makes me want to start a new world and dedicate time to it <Fallout 1 I have been doing small runs with different types of builds, it's a shame that the combat in the Mariposa base always screws me up, the knights of the brotherhood always end up becoming hostile towards me, and killing the master without a charisma and intelligence build is not the same. allows me to kill him easily >WATCHAN A little bit of Mexican cinema >LISTENAN Boney M >READAN Nothin >EATAN Tacos and candy >DRINKAN Watuh >FAPPAN Probably in a few moments >FEELAN My head is spinning and I'm dizzy

>>1052996 I thought the first crackdown was such good fun as well. I did not think too much of SR3 which is why SR4 was in the backlog for so long. Pleasantly surprised.

>>1053023 >I did not think too much of SR3 which is why SR4 was in the backlog for so long. Pleasantly surprised. I know, right? SR3 was like an okay-ish GTA parody but for SR4 they said "fuck it, let's make what Crackdown should have been".

>PLAYAN Elebits. It helps me get into the Christmas spirit, and the Wii is already hooked up. >WATCHAN A stream of Werster speedrunning Pokemon Stadium. It brings back such vivid memories of my 90s best friend, I can recall the smells of his house. God rest that merry gentleman. >LISTENAN My Winter music playlist, mostly comfy/bittersweet music that fits the feelings I get watching the snow fall. >READAN Nothing for now, too busy. >EATAN Soft tacos and salsa for dinner, Cinnamon Toast Crunch with whole milk for a snack. >DRINKAN Dr. Thunder. >FAPPAN Hottest Sonic girl. >FEELAN Tired, I shorted myself on sleep, but I got a lot done today. >>1052814 >Reload Any chance you'll play FES on PS2 at some point?

>>1052861 Got it, thanks! I'll add it to my list. I'll be frank with you though, I've got a huge backlog.

>>1053023 >>1052996 The biggest gripe I have is that you can't jump and shoot a gun at the same time in SR4.
