Wife Guy Cyrus (And Dorian!)

Lots of love from me and Steve!

Thank you Steve, I needed to hear that.

Everyone go look at Aster's new birthmarks and say thank you to @roira.bsky.social for making it happen.

Saw some Mina deadlock fanart and got inspired

Honorable mentions go to Sam & Max (like..pick a game) and Megaman X.

Megaman X was one of the earliest Megaman games I remember playing. It's comfort food.

Sam & Max - love the humor and its one of the games that really spoke to me when I was younger.

This is the game I met my husband in. This is the game I find myself going "okay what content have they put out that I haven't touched yet". Don't get me wrong, it has problems. It has lifestyle updates I wish it would make. But at the end of the day, I can always find something to do in 14.

FF14 - Obviously. This is THE GAME for me at the moment. I'll admit I didn't really get into the story until Shadowbringers because I skipped everything my first time through in order to roleplay with my group at the time. I enjoyed it more on my second playthrough.

It just does so much right that I love when it comes to MMOs that I find myself bringing up when I have complaints about other games. An account-wide glamour dresser and dye system. A gameplay system that rewards you for exploring instead of just doing mission after mission. Loved playing it.

Guild Wars 2 - The MMORPG that got me to build my own PC just to play it. No joking by the way, I build a "junkyard scrapbox" PC with parts thrown out from my first job just so I could play this with my coworkers. It is the longest running MMO that I played, even if I stopped after End of Dragons.

There is something about being a private detective who shows up on the first level because he accidentally launched himself out of his apartment window. The writing is great and I would gladly play this game over and over again.

Gunpoint - This was the game that really showed me what Indie games could be. I originally bought it (like so many of my steam games) for the TF2 hat. After I played it though? There is a reason why I had a "hammerhead snark" emote. Love this game to bits.

Team Fortress 2 - The first competitive game I ever played. I liked it enough on quickplay but my 2 years of playing 9v9 highlander as my team's spy? I loved every minute of it. Especially when I got good enough to play the other team like a fiddle. Probably my favorite competitive game.

Between the 4 different armies you could play as, the different maps, the campaign, the unlockable upgraded weapons? I loved it. There is some sick pleasure my brother and I got out of trying to 2-man defend Hoth as the Rebels on the hardest difficulty. And don't forget the hero-fighter mode.

Star Wars Battlefront - Okay this one is a bit of a lie, they didn't have Battlefront 2 on the site (the older version not the new EA one) but I'll make due. Battlefront was the first game a friend of mine really got me that was a shooter. I played this before I played any CODs or Battlefields.

I started with Treeko but I've played the game so many times that I could beat it practically blindfolded. Diamond and Pearl were up there too but I fell off the series after that because I didn't have the money to keep playing.

Emerald will always be my go-to game.

Pokemon Emerald - This one really sparked a joy that I hadn't experienced before. I had liked Pokémon enough growing up, but I grew up with Yellow and a busted copy of Blue that didn't save properly. Emerald was the first Pokemon game that I was old enough to sink my teeth into properly.

I still play Age of Empires 2 when the feeling hits me, or even the third one. It's comfort food that I can lose hours in. Same with Civ but Civ just doesn't hit the same way.

Age of Empires 2 - Age of Empires was a game that my dad taught me how to play the second I showed an interest in strategy games. I played the first one with him when we were camping and when the second one came out, we both launched ourselves into it. I had the portable version when that was out.

With Spyro, it was hours of fun in a single player game where I really started to fall in love with videogames as a medium for story telling.

With Crash, my brother and my dad played with me and we had years of bonding over it. My dad yelling "TROPHY'S MINE" in a funny voice lives in my brain now.

Spyro and Crash Team Racing - This was one of the earliest sets of games I remember playing. My Uncle went blind from diabetes incredibly early in my life and when he moved to the area I grew up in, he gave my brother and I his Playstation and all of his games.

Right, I'll add my memories to the comments in the order I played them when I was a kid! This is noticeably not the order that I have them listed in.

So I saw a mutual do this and I'll just post mine before I get into it.

Here is the website: my9games.com

well, hello to you too, handsome.

(with the wonderful @dawnmakers.bsky.social 's x'vett! ♥)

Yep, you can spearfish collectibles from it

A mutual was saying the same thing earlier, they fixed it by closing and reopening the game.

I get that.

For a VERY long time, it was one of the biggest creative struggles I had until I just stopped posting. I wish I had an easy answer for you, but I don't....but if you want to talk about it, I'm around!

I can tell you that people care, even if they are bad at showing it.

With Dorian, I wrote him to be misunderstood. He used to put on a smile and a devil-may-care attitude to mask the tragedy that his life was at the time. I was more upset when people didn't dig past the surface because I put so much more work into the stuff beneath the surface.

As someone who has written 2 very different characters in roleplay, I see both sides of it.

Cyrus is and was very hard to misunderstand so I do worry when he is misunderstood. He's the type of person to tell you exactly how it is and misunderstandings with him are typically "I meant what I said"

no way @cyrus-starcrest.me and I got the secret path in 3 LMAO

if anyone has experience making their own tattoos please help LMAO this shit is confusing but i'm at that point at this point. i'd say 'let's draw scars' but uh. that's More Trouble Than It's Worth.
