You can find me mainly on discord (dm me if you're a mutual and I'll probably share my username)
And also 🟦⛅ at falconsquill.bsky.social
I also have a tumblr with the same name but tbh I don't use tumblr much anymore.

One of my friends from uni has degenerative blindness and had a very difficult time with FF15 because the font size is so small. My brother has cerebral palsy and can't hold a controller at all. Even when an accessible one's available, games often demand too-quick inputs.
nobody ever mentions epilepsy, migraines, and motion sickness when talking about the playing vs watching for story video games debate. that should be the first talking point

Already seen some fuckwits pull the "Omg you people can't do anything" like this is their first day alive and the idea that some people cannot physically play (at least some) video games is revolutionary

But then again, this is the Gaming Community™️ that starts throwing tantrums when games add *optional* accessibility options that make their games playable by more people, because how dare they have to share their hobby with disabled people.

I'm sorry this entire debate is stupid:
Yes, in a MODERN era, pirating games is an option for MOST people! However, if your PC or phone cannot run a game you want to play? A playthrough is a good alternative to understand the story/charactersl

Also if playing a game yourself is necessary to comprehend the story, then a lot of gamers need to go and play their entire library again because a lot of them do not actually understand the games they're playing. 100 hours in a game means nothing if you don't pay attention.

Some of the worst and most inaccurate video game takes I've seen have come from those sorts of gamers.

I'm learning that according to Twitter I might not be a True Gamer because the only consoles I owned until 2016 were a PS2, a 3DS and a family computer from 2002 that ran Windows XP, so I had to settle for watching Let's Plays until I could afford a PS4/5 and PC myself.

And tbh, even having a PS2, 3DS and old computer were lucky. Plenty of other kids I knew hardly had even one of those things.

"There's no excuse for not being able to play video games because you can emulate them on your phone"
So as a Certified Gamer™️ my phone has only 64gb of storage and most modern games release with at least a 50-100gb file size. A phone with enough storage/power is like $1500 .

Gaming is expensive, what part of that do people not understand? A PS5 costs $800, a Switch 2 costs $700, a middle-ground gaming PC can still be over $1000. Games themselves cost anywhere from $70-120 . Even many online services cost money.

Twitter when people can't afford to spend $800 on one console, and then $90-120 for every new game that releases on it and an additional $700 for another console that has an $80 exclusive game on it, or buy a $2000 gaming pc, so those people decide to watch Let's Plays instead:

I have a gaming pc, I own a ps5, and I sometimes buy some new games that sit up around the $90-110 mark. I haven't bought a Switch 2 yet though because I can't afford to drop $700 on just it right now (no games included). Before I could afford any of this, when my most current

console in 2014 was a PS2 and a 3DS, I engaged with vise games that were current at the time by watching other people play them. Gaming is an expensive hobby and so many people forget that it is.

New/current video games regularly cost $100 AUD (and go up to $120), which is over a third of my weekly rent. I'd be stupid to drop that much money on a game that I'm not certain I'll enjoy (or I just may not be able to afford it atm). Watcing playthroughs helps me decide.

I was lucky enough to have enough money to buy a decent/good gaming pc about 6 years ago, but when my gpu died two years ago, that was an $800 fix/upgrade. A Switch 2 costs $700. A PS5 costs $800. A gaming pc can easily be $1500. You get the idea

You're finally awake! You hit your head pretty hard there.
Collab discourse? Simulators are cheating? What're you talking about? C'mon, we've got to deliver this dagger to Fufulupa in Horizon. There's a Fate on the way, too! We can do it together!

Yes, you can be polyamorous. No needing an entirely new save file just to romance another character (or being forced to cheat)
Genuinely this is such a nice game and I'm glad I've followed it through its early access
Celebrate love in all its magical forms ✨💕
Share a kiss with someone special in Fields of Mistria 1.0, coming August 5.
