oh mein gott... is that my dear mutual... SOLARDRINK? kissing miette and running away !!!

HIIIII HI HI HIIIII SULLY :3C

yes! yeah so i'm working, very like... slowly but i'm chipping away at it, at a one year post canon dgs2 fic! it's filled with most of my headcanons (though after reading some damn good fics now all my headcanons are changing so 😭 its one of my Many interpretations) and i left off at that scene :3c

Looking for games to get into for the future, and what better people to ask than people I'm friendly with?

hiya hiya!

so my favorites tend to be more story-centric, not sure if that's your thing but i'll recommend anyway.

What Remains of Edith Finch - linear story game but with a lot of walking around exploring sections

Firewatch - linear story but also mixed with a (constrained) open world & interactivity

The Stanley Parable - story based game but with MANY different endings, kind of absurdist surreal humor

The Beginner's Guide - linear story based game w/ a narrator

Child of Light - story based game w/ combat features & exploration in it, it came out ages ago and admittedly some parts of it are less fleshed out than others (one storyline kinda got dropped for some reason :/) but nevertheless i do like it a lot

hiya! nice pfp omg we are handshaking on the pride flag nitw character icons

i don't think this has been asked actually! for me it's kind of a close run between Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations, Apollo Justice Ace Attorney, and Investigations 2.

I love T&T because it feels like a really satisfying end to the main trilogy, bridge to the turnabout is a work of art and i really do like 98% of the characters you interact with. Godot is my 2nd favorite character in the entire series and it's really cool seeing how Mia defends vs Phoenix, and I love Dahlia a lot. Iris is also another favorite character so, yeah. T&T is just a really well executed game with a lot of satisfying parts imo.

on the other hand... okay Apollo Justice is not anywhere near as satisfying, the Jurist System doesn't really make sense or even exist after the game, the character writing of Beanix is... questionable at best, et cetera. however I ADORE the characters and think that the game has some of my favorite actual trials? Like, I adore Turnabout Corner SO much I know it's one of the most forgettable cases but it's so funny to me because it's just... Apollo having the worst fucking week of his life. Plus Turnabout Serenade has like one of THE FUNNIEST trials and it's kind of Klavier's version of Worst Fucking Week. Klavier is my favorite character (so mad we don't get more of him in later games) and I like Kristoph a lot as a character too. Trucy is so fun and I love Apollo (espec bc this precedes his fifty tragic backstories arc, etc.) All in all just. Yeah! i like it :D it makes me happiest and I think I'm more fixated on this game than any other game in the series.

Finally, investigations 2 which is just. One of the best objective games. Disclaimer that i didn't see like every single case and I mostly watched parts of it with my sister, but I did see the entirety of the final case and HOLY SHIT. I think T&T does a good job wrapping up the entire series, but Investigations 2 is even more incredible with creating a game that concludes so so neatly in the most bizarre way. I love Franziska's characterization in thsi game more than any of the other games in the series, I really like Sebastian's character, Justine Courtney is also really amazing and I love her as like a rival. Simon Keyes is ANOTHER favorite character of mine and I genuinely think that the culmination of the final case is the best reveal of a murderer that the series has ever had. Like Godot was good but the way that I2 ends is like... its SO good. I love it so much. There are parts of the game I don't like as much -- I hate the Kay amnesia plotline in case 3 (?) it was really annoying and also my first exposure to her character so I hated her for a bit -- but overall love love love this game
