# About me

Hello, hello~

I'm a student studying something non-art related. I art when I can. Here you'll find original stuff (eventually) mixed with some fan art (HOO, Avatar etc.). I hope you like at least some of it!
I work traditionally because digital art is terrifying~
Please enjoy!

What do you mean you've had about 4 different games? I've had my PS3 for a few weeks and I already have 11 games for it.

You should play it. It's really fun. It's sorta like a Sci-Fi version of GTA.

Ah thank you, I just wanted to make sure. I mean there are always some funny names for things over there. Like calling a zip code "post code". Oh us Americans could never think of something so delightfully absurd.

...About four different games on Skyrim. As in, with four different characters. I think we have over 20 games for the PS3 in general? I dunno.

Mayhaps I will. Mayhaps I will...

You're welcome.

You know, I still don't understand why you call it a 'zip code'. Why do you do it? 'Post code' makes so much more sense!

Nope. Never played as an Argonian. I don't really want to, either. They creep me out.

On my first game I was a Nord. I also have an Orc game, but my current one is as a Khajiit. :3 Maybe I only have three games after all...

Granted, they're not the most attractive looking species on the game, but they're attributes and stuff match the type of character I tend to play as (the sneaky archer type), so they suit me fine~ :3

Ah, it's what the Khajiit trading caravan owners say when you engage them in conversation. That and things like "May your roads lead you to warm sands" after you trade with them.

It's boring, I have no idea where to go, other games get you into the action immediately like Saints Row IV and Resident Evil 4.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Squiddy-chan In reply to DigbyTheGoat [2014-02-22 21:38:37 +0000 UTC]

And Skyrim doesn't get you straight into the action? You're heading towards your own execution, you get attacked by a dragon, you have to try and escape a burning town being ransacked by a rampaging winged reptile, you get to kill things within the first five minutes and you hear spectacular voice acting. If that's not getting you straight into the action, I don't know what is. I mean, sure, you have to make yourself first, but that's part of the fun. Your game is unique to /you/. No-one else anywhere is going to have exactly the same character as you. The whole 'not knowing where to go' part is great to. You can go wherever the hell you want. Any place, any direction. Don't want to do the main quest straight away? That's A-OK, go in the opposite direction and find another one. There's so much freedom to the game it's almost unbelievable. There's a whole world at your fingertips and you can go anywhere you want. What's boring about that?

(I will defend this game to the death. Don't think I won't.)

DigbyTheGoat In reply to Squiddy-chan [2014-02-23 00:02:34 +0000 UTC]

Yea that's pretty much just a cutscene. You don't get to fight the dragon or anything.Β 

There still needs to be a way to fucking know what you're supposed to fucking do. "Go to Whiterun" Simple enough. "Talk to the Jorl of Whiterun" Okay, who's the Jorl? Is there any indication? Any? At all?Β 

Look I'm not saying it's a bad game, it looks good. I'm just legitimately infuriated by how unclear it is with it's quests. In a more straightforward game like Saints Row IV, they give you a minimap PLUS directions to where your next quest is. So you can dick around and still be able to find where the stuff is.

Squiddy-chan In reply to DigbyTheGoat [2014-03-02 19:36:19 +0000 UTC]

All in good time. All in good time.

There are arrows that tell you where you need to go on the little world map at the top of the screen. They're the white ones? Just follow those. Of course, you have to have the quest activated in your journal in order for them to show up. But there are definitely things that tell you what to do/where to go. (Also, it's Jarl. I'm sorry.)

Hmm... are you sure you've selected the quest you want to do in your journal? If you go on the world map, it'll also tell you where you need to go.

DigbyTheGoat In reply to Squiddy-chan [2014-03-02 19:47:09 +0000 UTC]

Yea but that's good time that could be spent playing a different game.

Yea, but how come I have to keep checking the map every time I need a direction? In any good game there's a mini-map in the corner of the screen so you don't have to tediously go back to find the map. (You should be sorry, seeing as how I already knew that.)

I couldn't tell anyways, I can barely read the small-ass text on my shitty 7-year-old, standard-definition TV.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Squiddy-chan In reply to DigbyTheGoat [2014-03-02 20:08:53 +0000 UTC]

Perhaps. You fight your first dragon fairly early on, though, and from that point on they can turn up any place, any time, completely out of the blue.

There is a mini map. It's the long, thin bar in the top middle of the screen that has lots of icons (that tell you what locations/places you're close to), letters (that tell you what direction you're facing/are headed in) and arrows. Just turn around until the white arrow is in the middle of the bar and start walking in that direction. It's relatively straight-forward.

Ah, well. I can't help you with that.

Well that's a game mechanic that seems incredibly flawed.

Are you kidding me? Why is the fucking thing one-dimensional? 2 DIMENSIONS ARE NEEDED FOR A MAP.

Can't help me with my TV, can you? Can you help me with my E.D.?

Nah, it's great. They're not common or anything, which is why it's a very "oh, crap, it's a dragon" moment when they do turn up. It's fun. :3

Idunno *shrug* It just is. It takes a little while to get used to, but after a while it's fine. Or at least, it is for me and lots of other people.

Alas not. E.D.? Am I supposed to know what that is...?

Bethesda, they program the largest fucking game ever and yet they can't handle two dimensions for their mini-maps. I'm going to kill them.

Squiddy-chan In reply to DigbyTheGoat [2014-03-03 21:39:51 +0000 UTC]

Technically, yes. Which is why it's a definite 'ohcrapit'sadragonrunawayreallyfastaaaaaahhhh' kind of moment when one turns up.

Mind you, there are different types of dragon that have different levels of difficulty to them. If I recall correctly it goes Dragon, Frost/Bronze Dragon, Ancient Dragon, Named Dragon (Odahviing, Paarthurnaax Alduin etc. I'm pretty sure I spelt the first two wrong...).

Aww, Bethesda's cool. They made Dishonoured. My Dad likes that game. :3

Not entirely true. Granted, some of them are fairly foul, but that can be said for any group of fans.Β 

Ah. Clearly you've been listening to the wrong kind of metal. European power metal is where it's at, my friend. That and Die So Fluid. They rock.

I happen to quite like some forms of country music. The TV show Firefly uses it excellently.

Well I don't voluntarily listen to heavy metal. It just happens to come up. Die so Fluid?

Country music is just... it's horrid. Just... I mean I hate everything country. Western movies are the worst too (besides chick-flicks). And Firefly... I don't even know what that's about.

Mmm. I presume that's MLP-related? I don't watch the show (or know anything about it), so I'm in the dark on matters concerning it.

Ah, but why not? It's wonderful. Power metal is, anyway.Β 

M-hm. Die So fluid. They're a British rock band. Take a look:

I've never bothered with the show, so I have no opinion whatsoever. Besides, it's hardly ever on over here anyway, so I've never had chance to.

Eh, fair enough. Your loss, is all I can say.

Ah, but that's just the thing. The show doesn't have enough fans! I mean, sure, the ones it does have like it a lot, but we're the cool kind of fan. Besides, it is a seriously good show. I think you'd like it.

It's not all like that, you know. Over in America it might be, but here in Europe it's much more diverse~ I tend to stay away from Black/Death/Screamo metal/rock anyway. It's just taking it too far, in my opinion.

Ah, well. I tried. I've never watched it either. I have a fear of TV/film/game zombies (they're way too icky) so I steer clear of stuff like that. Books zombies are fine, as long as they aren't described in graphic detail. Heh. ^_^;
