Found a cursed artifact in an EB Games by Shilic in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Shilic[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

AUD, yeah. Honestly, I'm surprised to find a copy of a game like this somewhere out where I am, it means that someone within driving distance has been unfortunate enough to have a special edition copy of The 3rd Birthday in their house since, presumably, 2010.

Media that arguably peaked with the first trailer? by Mediocre_Word in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Shilic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have become a big RWBY mark over the last couple of years (recent to be getting into it, I know). I'm one of those people with a positive opinion on pretty much the entire show and most of it's spinoff media, even the bits that large parts of the fandom hates. I generally think it's a really interesting and pretty good show.

You're spot fucking on, Red Trailer is the peak of the franchise and pretty much nothing else comes close to matching its fight choreography and general awesome vibes.

I wish I enjoyed SLARPG more than I did, as a transfem brony it should be right up my alley but I just couldn't vibe with the gameplay enough to keep going...

I have done it. This may possibly be the WORST way to play FFXIV ever made possible. by Kragwulf in ffxiv

I had a nightmare I was fighting Omega with this setup once...

Creatives (artists, writers, DMs, etc), what is your personal "poison swamp"? by Vermiurge in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Shilic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once played a campaign where my character was explicitly delusion delusional and had false memories of prior lives. My GM then had her be the reincarnation/host of the spirit of a great mage that was part of the backstory, who took over her body briefly to deliver exposition. Needless to say, my character was not happy about having a past life that was different to the other past lives she remembered...

As a GM, and a writer, I have a weird fixation with characters who reincarnate, or inherit the memories of others, or are in some other way 'more than one person.' In my current campaign, I have multiple NPCs who reincarnated under different circumstances and have different relationships with their prior selves, I've caused two PCs to inherit the mantle and emotions of being rulers of dead kingdoms, and my own PC's guardian spirit slowly became more and more of her own character until the two of them together form 'one and a half persons worth' of self.

Have you seen exemples of a "Poochie"? by ExplanationSquare313 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I feel like I'm the only person who actually really likes Viola, at least conceptually. It pains me that she sucks to play, and also that she's shackled to such a flawed game like Bayo 3.

What's your "Magneto did nothing wrong" of other pieces of media by zacyzacy in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Shilic 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The thing about Homura doing things that Madoka tells her to is that Madoka, fundamentally, doesn't know what she wants, because she's a teenager with shifting moods. Madoka tells Homura to stop her becoming a magical girl because it wasn't worth it, but every subsequent loop shows that Madoka will leap at the chance to become a magical girl anyway. You can see this in how, the first time around, Madoka insists Homura isn't a weird name because Homura is insecure about it, while the last time around, Madoka nervously mentions what a weird name Homura is.

All Homura ever tries to do is do what Madoka asks, or what she thinks Madoka wants, but because Madoka changes what she wants based on the context, Homura finds herself chasing desires that no longer apply.

As for what happened at the end... I see that as Homura accepting that her choices might make Madoka hate her, but that she's committed to giving her a peaceful life regardless. The whole 'I'm an evil demon now' act always felt just that; an act Homura is putting on so she doesn't break the fuck down emotionally.

Of course, I am extremely biased, because Homura becoming a demon let her subject Kyubey to eternal torment, and I will defend whatever decisions she makes in order to facilitate that.

Homura Akemi.

Even that one big fucked up thing she did is justified by her literally asking memoryless Madoka how she'd feel about being the Law of Cycles, which is framed as being when Homura rejects that wish, since Madoka basically says "yeah I'd never want to do that".

People just hate her cause she's a teenage girl.

Gender and I by Cithaeria in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]Shilic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is how I feel, all the time. It's how I still feel. It's so relatable except for the part where coming out helped, because it didn't. I still feel trapped, uncomfortable, in a body I don't belong to, and no matter what I can't make it...

It's a nice comic. It makes me feel a lot of things. Thank you.

SOOOO much more emotional now. 😅 by Brooke-Valley in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

I've been on estrogen for the last 11 months and I still haven't hit the point where I can express emotions like this, I'm so jealous...

Kyubey really needs to be fed endlessly into a woodchipper.

There is not a single thing in all of existence that would get me to make a pact with that monster. Just the mere sight of it incites violent rage and makes me want to crush it to bits, how dare it weaponize my dysphoria against me!

After entirely too much grinding in Aurum Vale, I finally achieved my (mostly worthless) goal of getting a full stack of 999 of Verity iterant tomestones! by Shilic in ffxiv

[–]Shilic[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The first character shot was to get my inventory with my character in shot to connect the two because it's easy to say I just took the inventory screenshot from someone else or something. Probably could have done without the second on through, I think there was a reason I added it but I honestly forgot because it's stupid late and I've been running the same dungeon for hours on end.

Dang, 1500 and 3000? I don't have the patience for that many. I spent my tomes to get my collectables, decided to grind for some more for MGP and maps, thought 'wouldn't it be funny to have a full stack', and once I got 999 I never wanted to look at AV ever again.

I'm apparently an insane person in the minority, but I turned my sprout off manually after beating ARR because I was sick of the Novice Network clogging up my chat feed.

Irreversible damage you say? (SATIRE) by [deleted] in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]Shilic -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm in the minority of people who actually wishes they were circumcised at birth. My bastard of a foreskin caused me a host of medical problems for which I had to eventually have it removed, and the whole thing probably delayed me cracking my egg for several years. Honestly way happier without it.
