watching ytp’s, thought i’d try drawing link meeting his cdi and dic counterparts. read the alt text i worked so hard on it

game link (zelda 1&2 due to the stripe on his hat and cross on his shield) meeting his cdi counterpart, holding a “smrt” sword, and for whom the inner machinations of his mind are an enigma. in the background, super show link is saying his iconic catchphrase as spryte is barely constraining the sheer lust she feels for her link at any given moment… navi is also here, and confused as all hell

"Autogynophilia" is a term coined in a pseudoscientific study commissioned by Congress back in the 80s, to pathologize being trans as nothing more than a sexual fetish. It's a big part of why Conservatives still stereotype transgender people as predators and conflate gender identity and sexuality.

so altogether we have gamedev themed rpg mechanics that fit the world, a magic sex change, a skill progression arc for our protag, and a lucky break to explain how they start off so ahead of the curve. all without relying on Gaben’s original sin (gacha/lootboxes) (6/6)

so job relevant loot, for a game dev, is basically free unity asset store stuff, with rarer items being stuff like features or even game templates, but the actual process of making a game is just like it is in real life, so you can’t just slap together an asset flip and get 5 stars. (5/6)

our protagonist goes to a plastic surgeon have their character customized after graduatingas a deb(read: magic sex change) saints row style, and blunders into a stash of rare candy style level up items, which gives them enough stat points to be a one woman dev team (4/6)

so the game dev job is based around all the creative skills (art, music, writing, design, etc.) as well as tech skills like coding and quality assurance, so most people would prefer to specialize in subclasses like sprite artist or level designer. (3/6)

now, with your job, everything you do gains job-relevant stats and resources passively, and doing things related to your job increases it more. also job relevant tasks are rewarded like they were battles or quests, complete with job relevant loot. (2/?)

EarthBound/Mother 2 is actually a pretty scathing critique of America at the local level. Most of the governmental figures are easily controllable, bribable dipshits. Of course the Stoic Club bit is there too. Mother 3 is just the even more woke option

made something for my oc. it’s an item he finds late into his story that ends up being the most powerful of his gear. it might seem like a certain barely functional gimmick riddled game controller, but it has some… “adjustments”

an image of mark lash’s inventory screen (mark is the original character in my pfp who the main post is supposed to be from)
the item description reads:
“super power glove:
multipurpose gauntlet, grants
wielder telekinesis, electric
blasts, and game pak based
