I am looking to chat with people who have been disparagingly featured in Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt’s content. I would like to see how this affected you, especially if you can provide ample receipts and clear timelines. Please signal boost this anywhere you’d like, as I’m not on Twitter anymore.

the jibbitz are glued on (i kinda prefer the flat house to the 3D one tho?), they aren't platforms, and there's no AC logo on the inside for some reason lol. otherwise they're identical (including fit) to my adult ones of the same size, if anyone is looking to save a few bells if they restock

animal crocsing!!! 💚💙🏡 they're so tacky. i actually love them 😂 #animalcrossing i went for the Junior version over the adult as they were £22(!!) cheaper than the adult version and are the same size (they go up to adult 5 UK). the only differences seem to be >

The “British person” in this instance was me; I do find it deeply amusing that, as well as being extremely racist about British Indians and their role in British food culture, this America has managed to name the curry that was most famously created in Britain

The farther I get into Dragon Age Veilguard. The more I realize just how unfairly attacked and politicized people went ham on this. Games polished as hell. Tons of content. Great soundtrack. Fantastic atmosphere. Regardless my thoughts on how it all turns out story wise or my rankings of the series.

the VAs, though - they've only been able to talk about it for a few weeks, but the window has kind of passed, sadly... I still hope they get to talk about it some time!
Mad (@madzilla84.bsky.social) reply parent
they sure haven't, though it used to be a bit better - the DA community does seem to be pretty toxic in many ways, devs were bullied off the OG bioware forums, then twitter, then here... after how they were treated by EA *and* fans it's no wonder they aren't lining up to engage.
Mad (@madzilla84.bsky.social) reply parent
their hands were tied as the VAs were on strike from July '24, but they could have planned things out before that for sure... and it wasn't like they were much better for the prev. games (though a little bit), but then again they could have done plenty of *other* marketing and didn't do that either

ended up briefly on the DA subreddit because i was looking for a reference (where to find an item) and my goodness what a miserable, rancid place. negative post after negative post with very little else in-between. they're welcome to it honestly
Mad (@madzilla84.bsky.social) reply parent
interesting! I've done 2 shadow dragon playthroughs, saved Minrathous both times, and not had this happen. So I assume you need to beat everyone up in the bar in the beginning, since I didn't do that either time?

I hadn't considered that (not sure if I like it *only* because I don't know how well it scans for my rook), but I have thought about him receiving his first piece of mail addressed to 'professor and mrs volkarin' and having a Moment (or mr, or mx, as fits!)

it was definitely there! i remember because i was heartbroken i didn't get it in the base game after picking destroy (the weekend it came out), but then i played the galaxy at war app for a few days to get 100% readiness, played through it again and got it 😅
Mad (@madzilla84.bsky.social) reply parent
oh yeah, for sure! You'd hope that nearly a year on they'd have found something new to complain about, but no. 😒
Mad (@madzilla84.bsky.social) reply parent
It was in the original version, although a bug(?) on release meant that it was impossible to get it without playing multiplayer to raise your war assets. The extended cut lowered the threshold to be achievable in single-player only
Mad (@madzilla84.bsky.social) reply parent
like i know bg3 is orders of magnitude more successful/popular than ANY of the DA games, so i get it but also like. sigh. where is the DA cast playing D&D panel. where are the podcasts. the YT vid interviews. (also the strikes didn't help, of course, but even years ago there wasn't much)
Mad (@madzilla84.bsky.social)
i don't *begrudge* it or anything obv but i look at all the cool things that the BG3 cast have gotten to do (and are still doing) and i wish the DAV cast (or any of the DA casts, really) had gotten to do things like that

yeah, this exactly. i can't think of a way they'd do it and not ruin their story. they might surprise me I guess... but also a huge part of shepard's story is their companions, so if they aren't there either (except liara) i don't think i'd want to see that

my cables will not be "managed" I love all cables equally. each is empowered to roam freely in pursuit of self-directed goals, articulating a personality of its own. that's not a tangle, it's a statement. cable management is a tool of the oppressor.

Shitting on Dragon Age has become the move of the desperate. Desperate for relevancy, desperate for clicks, desperate for the 2cents they get from rage farming idiots on Twitter. Is your other content not doing well? Are you feeling irrelevant? Because that’s what it’s giving at this point 🤷🏻♂️

i also do want to do a quick 'fail' run where i don't do companion stuff and can see all the alternate villains at the end (and probably get everyone killed most likely). we used to call those a 'For Science' run to be clear you would Never normally do that but just wanted to see out of curiosity

not sure what to do after this PT is done ... i still want to try a warrior, and other factions, but i want to replay vida, but i've just done 2 mage PTs back to back... plus i also have to decide who to delete 😔 only having 3 chars is perhaps my least favourite thing about the game

"Obviously, if you have played the game and didn't like it for one reason or another, that's absolutely fine. I'm not here telling you that you have to like the game. Far from it, I just want people to give it a chance rather than saying it's a terrible game without ever giving it a proper try!"

it's happening again, it's emmrich week on twitter but lucanis week on tumblr, and emmrich week is in september there; not that it's a *bad* thing that there's twice as much content i guess, but it is very confusing (not to mention discords having their own fests and whatever tf happens on here)

i saw that the outline for the ME TV show still refers to shepard gender-neutrally, probably because they haven’t decided/revealed which it’ll be yet - but i think they should just go for it and make shepard NB in the show. because -

that's exactly what i'm doing! once i returned to the internet after my first (SD) playthrough, i saw SO many posts that had me believe it was the far superior option, which ngl made me kinda sad about my version, which i had so loved. but i think they're just different, not better/worse!

i have a lot a LOT of thoughts but it would be way too long-winded for a bunch of skeets at one in the morning, but the short version is that all the ways to romance Emmrich (or any of them) with *any* Rook are great! and which one you like most will just be down to personal preference and ~vibes~
Mad (@madzilla84.bsky.social) reply parent
hasn't been the case. it's been so so interesting to see the differences in dialogue and approaches to various things; some of it i like very much but other times i prefer the non-MW version of the dialogue. it's neat to have so many options for RPing though!
Mad (@madzilla84.bsky.social)
FINALLY started the romance again tonight on this PT. 🥰 it's been so interesting seeing the differences in dialogue between non-romanced/romanced/romanced MW... i was a bit concerned going in that it might end up making me like my main rook's non-MW romance with him less, but that > #dragonage

To disincentivize quote-dunking, early Bluesky users requested a “Detach Quote” feature, which the devs added. I’m not sure how many new users know about it. If someone quote-posts with something you don’t like, tap the … in the lower right and select “Detach Quote.” Easy.
