i mean honestly, if a video game doesn't let you get many pretty dresses, why is it EVEN under consideration at ALL to play
tbh i think i would really enjoy red dead redemption 2 if i got into it but "you have to play as a dude" is such a high cost of investment that it's going to take so much more to get into it
ngl i'm still tempted to see when it goes on sale... .................so i can just play red dead online and just. pick flowers. pet my horse. get pretty dresses.
ok so maybe one sit is "harp you fucker, you can't just subvert that bit of redwall by awkwardly inserting india into this now, you odious curryboo" and to that i say
uhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuck you jerboas are cute
no lie i get the strangest nostalgia sometimes for music because other people will go "oh man, i loved tomb raider/final fantasy 6/etc etc, such a fantastic game, this tune really takes me back"
...
and it totally takes me back too, but back to those geocities redwall roleplay sites where every location had its own little page with a midi autoplaying
tomb raider? what? no that's mossflower woods smh, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONrDrRVTKLU
@InspectorCaracal listen, we're going down together, i say as i get all nostalgic about those oldschool redwall roleplay sites on geocities where it was a page for every location in redwall or whatever and of COURSE you had a midi autoplaying or else you weren't getting the full immersive roleplay experience
@bryn it's just such a perfect summary of how noodle dogs be
@bryn i love so much that the image caption ends with "she's not hurt or anything, just weird"
re: maybe embarrassing
@monorail srsly tho, if you wanted a base to DIY off of, aliexpress has some knockoff heeleys with LED lights that are still... substantial, but not totally bank-breaking - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2019-New-Kids-Roller-Skate-Shoes-Children-Light-up-Shoes-Glowing-Girls-Boys-Sneakers-with-Wheels/32993953010.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.154.146a72e2wS8aGt&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_4_10065_10130_10068_10890_10547_319_10546_317_10548_10545_10696_453_10084_454_10083_10618_10307_537_536_10059_10884_10887_321_322_10103,searchweb201603_52,ppcSwitch_0&algo_expid=0a1496d3-ffb7-4e26-8767-15c4664be63a-20&algo_pvid=0a1496d3-ffb7-4e26-8767-15c4664be63a
i don't know if you could preserve the LED lights - but the key functionality is the heely, well, heel, right? perhaps that mechanism could be transplanted onto other shoes? 🤔
(note: i've never owned heelies, so idk, i've got crap balance lol)
re: maybe embarrassing
@monorail extremely bougie solution: save up a stupid amount of money, present Son of Sandlar https://www.sonofsandlar.com/ bootmakers with this problem, ????, cruise through every renfair with your fucken sweet heelie boots that will be passed down in the family for the next 5 generations
re: maybe embarrassing
@monorail fug
...honestly makes me wonder about DIY shoe-cobbling tho
i mean the bits that fit over existing shoes seem exploitable, even if they only go up to men's 12, on account of straps and shit. that could be a base i think... 🤔 or if you found a pair of size 12 heeleys and then used those soles as a base...
maybe embarrassing
@monorail hmm, what's your size?
tbh sometimes it's worth looking a aliexpress for Totally Not Heely's Men's Roller Skate Sneaker, but i will admit that chinese sellers don't do much by way of larger foot sizes.
there are some things i've seen people mention that are like heely wheels but able to slip on over existing shoes? i'm not sure if they go past size 15 tho
