my favorite thing ever is immortal characters getting stabbed/disembowled/otherwise fatally injured and treating it as like a v minor inconvenience like “dammit not again fuck”
Cuphead (2016): A single player or co-op “run and gun” platformer, heavily focused on boss battles. Inspired by 1930s cartoons, the visuals are hand drawn and inked and the music is all original jazz recordings.
I love heist movies. I also love video games. I have no earthly idea why it wasn’t until last week that I tried playing a heist video game. The Marvellous Miss Takehad been on my wishlist for a while now, partly because it looked fun and partly because it appeared to be a video game starring a woman. The price was the only thing holding me back, but when it showed up in a Humble Bundle, I finally pounced on it. And, quite swiftly, fell in love with it.
The basic story of the game centers around a young woman named Sophia Take, whose late great-aunt’s fabulous art collection has ended up in the hands of vile billionaire Ralph Blackstock due to some dodgy business surrounding the will. What’s a girl to do? Well, steal it all back, naturally! Gallery by gallery, Sophia sets out to reclaim all of her great-aunt’s stolen art, and picks up a few sidekicks along the way: Harry, a painter turned gentleman art thief who has a few tricks to show her, and Daisy, a snarky teenage pickpocket who couldn’t give a toss about the law. (Did I mention they’re in London?)
The trio’s members only ever work solo, so there’s a lot of replaying the same levels as different characters, but their vastly different abilities and objectives remove any sense of repetitiveness. Yet despite this separation, the brief, humorous speech bubble dialogue between heists gave all of the characters a surprising amount of charm and depth. I quickly fell in love with this little family of friendly thieves.
me,the first time I read smut: okay, the door is locked, the curtains pulled, the shutters closed, my back is to the wall and I will close the tab at the first sound I hear! *blushes through two paragraphs of pure vanilla*
me reading smut now: well, this bus is crowded, and it’s a long ride…. I know just the fic! *poker face through 20 chapters of kinkfest.*… Nice.
