@InspectorCaracal i'm going to blame vampires for this
either that or this is like the anime equivalent of that one ancient chinese general where everyone was all "oh shiiiit you guys he's really good at tactics what's he gonna do" and what he did was he rode out and started just juggling
and everyone was so wigged out thinking that this was the first part of some totally bonkers plan that they ran the fuck away
there was no plan. (except juggling)
@InspectorCaracal yeah i think it went pretty well!!!! honestly i'm just excited for fucking VALIDATION, like... yeah shit was fucked up ins and now i got the pictures to prove it
in which a wigglytuff grumbles about post-op pain med
i think doubling up my cbd dose and being really diligent with ice packs and naproxen are going to get me through but i am a little YOU GUYS. at the doctors honestly
like GIVE A BITCH A BREAK Y'ALL
in which a wigglytuff grumbles about post-op pain med
i'm holding out as best i damn can and i think i may be able to make it, but they uhhh didn't actually give me ANY increase in pain medication for post-surgery
i was on oxycodone 5mg handling my base pain, now i'm on... percocet 5mg
so like
same thing
but with tylenol in there too
@InspectorCaracal AND. UNLIKE SKYRIM. your horses won't run off without you to kill something. AND if your horse dies you can go revive it at a special shrine. but honestly none of mine have died yet.
the one black mark against botw is there are dogs and you cannot pet them. but you can feed them treats and then they follow you around happily or maybe show you where some treasure is, so it all works out
@InspectorCaracal after all, the environments are basically "the kingdom got all but wiped out 100 years ago, so now there are lots of ruins. but there are still villages, and even in the ruins you can see how nature is rising up to reclaim them, and life goes on." there's that line of like... comfort yet loneliness, loneliness yet comfort in it all.
also you get a hang glider which means climbing up shit and jumping off is fucking rad
also you can tame horses
@InspectorCaracal IT'S A REALLY FUCKING GOOD GAME.
gameplay wise like. i never really understood people who were all "omg i can play skyrim for HOURS" because it quickly loses its shine for me.
breath of the wild tho.
botw is what skyrim wants to be when it grows up. they have done really canny gameplay shit to make exploring be addictive and rewarding.
also there's this sort of... quiet melancholy to it all that's very tender and emotional.
@InspectorCaracal is it majora's mask where you're stuck in a time loop trying to get the moon to not crash into the earth? i think so
anyway, link is screaming at the moon At This Moment
@InspectorCaracal honestly the awful fic idea is already tied to the moon cycle, which in-game means every time there's a full moon all the enemies respawn and the princess is all LINK WATCH OUT
i feel like between that and majora's mask, the inevitable conclusion is that a small elf muscle twink goes out to scream at the moon a la https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7_pVrIshxA
