Personal Apocalypse

No spoilers:

- The opening views of Midgar's upper plate are really fantastic.

- These game developers have got to learn that not every change in expression has to be accompanied by a sound. There are a lot of scenes where the look of dismay on a character's face would've been enough to express dismay. The grunts and giggles are not always necessary.

- Barret sure did order the Large Ham.

- That said, seeing how he could easily climb and descend ladders with one hand was impressive.

- Also Barret was the best-looking out of the characters, easily. I do wish they'd gone with a different voice though. I can see why others are upset about it.

- Why did Barret keep calling Cloud "Stamp?"

I legit forgot I was doing this.

3. What is your current OTP and why?

For SWTOR? I have not seen them all. So far I feel like Vette/LS Sith Warrior is a favorite, but once I catch up on the relationship with Lana that may change.

Will add the why when I get home.

I'm doing this for Star Wars: The Old Republic specifically this month, because why not. I may not finish it within the month, but I might keep going if I don't.

The first question is short so I will use the cut tag to list the rest of the questions. They're on my journal elsewhere, but I don't want to have to search for them every day.

1.How did you get into this fandom?

I first played the game in 2013; I only really knew about it because I remembered some comic talking about Bioware planning to create a Star Wars MMO, and I'd enjoyed a lot of their other games, so I decided to look into it. I didn't get involved in the fandom that much back then, just enjoyed the game with my boyfriend and played through some of the story. After my computer at the time auto-updated itself to Windows 10, though, it wouldn't run the game worth beans, so I just stopped playing it for several years.

I believe I picked it up again in 2017? Maybe 2018. I was definitely back in college again, and my boyfriend mentioned he wanted to play an MMO again and suggested it. (We'd been playing a few other games before then. Neverwinter, for one, which I remember enjoying.) He didn't stick with it; I eventually stumbled into a guild, then started RPing in-game and on Discord, and eventually (probably 2019 or so) started looking for fanworks about it on various sites, mainly tumblr.

That's about it. Easy one for today.

I have not been writing as much as I used to. Writing feels odd after coding for a long period of time. But I have a few things, mostly from Star Wars: The Old Republic, so I figured I'd post a few things here... haven't done that in a while.

( Five bits and pieces of things I might finish eventually. )
