HELL YEAH!!!!!

it's the most game of all time. it's a Choose Your Own Adventure text-based RPG - but it has very good sound design, it breaks up the text into chunks so it's more accessible, it has an animated map, animated fight sequences, mini games, and other things to help it feel LESS like a text game. you play as a sorcerer (hence the name) going on a long journey to retrieve a magical crown that was stolen by an evil archmage

you go through a bunch of cities and wilderness and meet a TON of interesting characters and EVERYONE and EVERYTHING is trying to kill you and you meet an assassin and he's your rival but you're also canonically in love with each other and depending on your choices you can become lovers - regardless of the player character's gender

the game mechanics are challenging and fun and there's TIME TRAVEL and you can TALK TO ANIMALS and you can choose to be REALLY EVIL or do your best to be a pacifist. you can completely mess up and get stuck in an area, unable to continue, and have to rewind back REALLY far. the game can be VERY cruel to you sometimes - you can fall in water and loose all of your food. you can blunt your sword and lose attack power.

it's legitimately challenging and fun and the game actively encourages creative thinking and choices. in a swamp? you can try floating, or try becoming a GIANT so you don't get stuck in mud. once i was attacked by a flock of evil birds and instead of fighting them, i cast two spells. one to talk to them, and one to control them. then i ordered them to carry me across the map. no birds were harmed and i got to where i needed to go MUCH faster.

the 3rd chapter of the game features TELEPORTATION and magical beacons that you can use to go between the past and present - it's WILD.

that's the one i'm on right now. there's 4 chapters in total. they were released as separate games, but you carry your save data over. there's Sorcery! 1 & 2 (one game) and then Sorcery! 3 and then Sorcery! 4

highly, highly recommend this game to anyone that likes RPGs. it very much feels like a one-player DND session. you can even use spells like SUS to sense danger, ask questions

i actually got introduced to this game because Jerma played it??? he played it over several streams (60 hours worth of footage) and someone pared it down to 10 hours. I let it play in the background while I was playing Animal Crossing, actually, and I realized I was so into the game and the story that I wanted to play it myself

Hi there! I’m a big fan of Peaky Blinders so solidarity there, but I do recognize it has issues.

As far as I’m aware, the word was written in the script by a gadje, or non-Romani, man, and the word is spoken by a majority of gadje actors and used specifically as an insult. Perhaps the producer wanted to make commentary on that antiziganism that is perpetuated in the UK, but it’s used so frequently and he even peppers in some other slurs too and as someone that is a part of that group it does make me uncomfortable when it comes up.

Jewish people and Roma have always been close as we have faced similar issues together. I would say, thank you for tagging it with a warning, but I would suggest censoring each word, or removing them please. And if you would like to go an extra step, I would put a disclaimer somewhere on your fic saying that it is a slur, and that even though it is used in the show it does not give others permission to use the word freely.

AHHHHHHHHH, you’re too kind, I’m so glad you like them,💖💖💖💖 they’re really fun for me to do! Also, hope you don’t mind me answering this publicly, in case anyone else might be curious!

Also I would have had this answered a lot sooner but my internet takes after me, aka, it’s fucking useless.  In terms of editing software, I use a less than legally acquired version of photoshop cs5, which I got from here; https://completeresources.tumblr.com/post/142196357299/psperfect-link-to-download-photoshop-cs5 

*I checked and it doesn’t seem to work anymore; this is their tag with alternative downloads; https://completeresources.tumblr.com/tagged/photoshop-download I’ve had it downloaded on my current laptop for a while so I can’t guarantee it still works. One of my friends recently tried and said it didn’t work for him. So, be aware of that and as with any download on the internet be wary. If you don’t want to use that and take the chance or don’t already have photoshop, I’ve heard good things about gimp, that it can open psds and do clipping masks (so long as it’s not an older version of the software). But it’s not one I’ve fiddled with much personally. But here’s a link to that, if you’re wary of downloading less than legal files;https://www.gimp.org/downloads/

Beyond that, I use this template for all my moodboards, https://www.deviantart.com/anotherworldmp3/art/Moodboard-Template-755678573, 

You can put the photos in the layers, above the square you want it and then do a clipping mask. From there it’s just shifting it around to fit it how you want, coloring, and of course working on composition for how you want it.
