Oh my god I haven’t posted here in three months.
I’m still alive, just metaphorically lying face down on the floor.
Var got lessons from the Jovial Contrarian on how to eloquently annoy the fuck out of everyone. God help anyone they decide they want to roast.
It was a reward for the previous mayoral election. I think it will be available for Fate during the next one.
Notability is the absolute most dumbass grind I’ve ever done in a video game, shame on me for deciding to make it narratively necessary for my character to overcap their Watchful
[Screenshots show the text for drawing Slowcake’s Amanuensis card and reaching Notability 15 - There is a scattering of typographic eccentricities beside your entry, but who cares? The important thing is that you have a COLOUR PLATE!]
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
The Amanuensis can KISS MY ASS
Next stop, capping Var’s Watchful to 215
I haven’t been posting because I’ve been playing a lot of Sunless Skies and also trying AGAIN to get to notability 15. This time, this time I’ll succeed.
I extremely love that there’s one Officer storyline with echoes of Weekend At Bernies or at least general ridiculous corpse comedy.
I extremely HATE the Undeparted, which make awful noises and attack in hard to dodge ways and are hard to hit and chase after me.
Totally unrelated to any of that, how’s the font size on my blog? Is it alright for you all? Including the tag size and the colour contrasts? I want people to be able to read it comfortably.
I appreciate the fact that Failbetter Games seem to have incidentally gained a significant queer following for their stuff in the beginning because of the Fallen London gender options along with having dalliances with NPCs open to all player characters, and as far as I can tell, sort of Ran With It and built on that, and now there’s all this lovely LGBTQ representation in Fallen London and Sunless Seas and Sunless Skies
(Partly because of the LGBTQ Sunless Seas and Skies backers who had their characters and own portraits added to the games, of course!)
It’s also great that it’s something FBG continue to work on, for example by doing a consultation session on trans and non-binary representation while making Sunless Skies
It seems to me like a very good example of a positive feedback loop between a fanbase and an indie games studio, and it’s meaningful to me because it’s created a setting that I’m excited to engage with as a non-binary person
#one of my good friends writes for failbetter games #and is one of the gayest humans i know #and he’s super into like #adding nb characters into the stories he wrote for sunless skies and stuff #so like YES this is all true :)
Thank you for these great additions to my post :3c
Please let your friend know that I, a rando on tumblr, would like to thank him for his good writing and for furthering the Gay and Trans Agendas
Side note would you believe that I made a Fallen London account in 2011 with the mysterious and indistinct gender option before I even figured out I was non-binary, forgot to use it at all for four years, and then unearthed it and started playing in 2015 after figuring my gender out
I made a non-binary player account under my own name before I realised I was non-binary
Prime trans egg behaviour right there
