Elizabeth DeLoria II: THE GHOST DIMENSION

Re-doing my intro post! I'm Elizabeth. I'm a Melbourne based writer who does everything from narrative to dialogue to localisation. I also put pictures of my butt on the internet, and I'm a singer in my free time (mostly jazz.) I have no shame. I also collect 50's/60's Las Vegas stuff. Minors DNI.

........Okay but can you imagine how fucking fire a Vatican produced Dragon Age would be??????

BREAKING: BioWare bought and revived by the Vatican; Pope Leo - “I think everyone should feel the Mass Effect or, as I call it, the sacred ritual of holy communion.”

[To the tune of Monster Mash]

Its my son's half birthday today and I gave him some chocolate for the first time. You could literally see his world opening up in real time.

A fun thing no one warned me about motherhood is that you end up averaging one meal a day because if the baby is awake, you're focused on the baby. And if he's asleep? You have to clean the house.

Okay, I found it and it looks incredibly easy to make story mods, which is great. Just... gotta do the art... which means... setting up the drawing tablet... and crying a lot...

The words "less is more" still haunt me and make me avoid "loud" lipstick colours -- and I fucking went to makeup school!

I wanna revisit Andromeda but the opening sequence tends to drag on a bit on subsequent playthroughs, which is a bummer.

Does anyone have a link to the dressmaker modding discord? I REALLY want to make a story mod but I cant find a link for the discord anywhere and that's where the best guides are.

Not only an incredible talent, but a rare talent who also thought it was funny to just voice random memes every once in a while

As a former fan (I watched for Frenemies, which was really just Trisha Paytas mentally torturing Ethan for fun,) its like the dynamic of workplace downtime conversations when you have a pretty good team. Would you hang out with them outside work? No. Were they fun when locked in with them? Yeah ok.

One thing I banged the drum on HARD at Blizzard and people seemed to just not believe me: gamers want to know the people behind their games. "But teams led by divas are terrible." Yes. Do MORE "meet the devs". "People who end up in video game press are insufferable" Yes, do MORE "meet the devs."

I am very glad I have not seen this. These are not serious people

Yeah, it's gotta be earnest but not sanctimonious, in the way that MacFarlane really wants to make Star Trek that happens to be funny. Tolkien would never fit ME3: Citadel.

No because why do I look so good in the Lois Griffin fit

I think what a lot of people misunderstand is that Mass Effect needs to feel more like Star Wars co-written by The Orville writers than it does Star Wars co-written by Tolkien, and that was something BioWare really nailed at it's best.

The big secret to auerteur theory is that it’s more about how the same people working together end up having a signature touch. It applies to games as well as film and acting like swapping those people out you can retain the magic is anti-labor.

Seen a lot of people say that they want Larian to buy Mass Effect but honestly? I think they're done with big licenses for a hot minute, given Hasbro's torment nexus.

I'm going to be honest - if the BioWare devs who were developing it aren't making it (dream scenario is another studio buys it and hires on any former BioWare devs who want in,) I don't fucking want it. BioWare devs ARE the secret sauce.

I love being reminded that the audience really doesn’t give a shit about the developers. Like, forget that one of the most influential studios in our industry was just executed by its publisher, just make sure the product continues on the assembly lines!

Write a short story in the robust world of Heaven's Vault! For the sickos out there, you're even allowed to use Ancient.

Oh man. Colloquially some gamedev friends and I call this kind of "you can kill who you like and the world will keep moving anyway" freedom as "killable Caesar" design (you know why) and its such an exciting thing to see any game go for. This is such a fucking tragedy.

A deep dive on the backend of this would be soooooo good, I bet kotaku.com/mass-effect-...

lmfao

"I-I-I don't know, I guess I'm not woke. Ok? Fine! You win, with your gay stuff! That's what you want, right? To win?" This is, like, my favorite costume ever.

Out family Halloween Costume this year? It insists upon itself.

Sis took one look at the state of things and peaced tf out lmaoooooo

He literally owns his own digital retail platform for games lmao

Cyberpunk 2077

Call it an Ethan Kleinup

A very common thing people do when having affairs is demonise their spouses so that they can justify the affair to themselves, which often leads to them outright resenting their spouses while cheating on them and doing this shit knowingly to humiliate them.

Ethan Klein dressing up his wife and mistress as Thing 1 and Thing 2 while he was Cat in the Hat for Halloween and knowing his wife didn't know is a level of evil that almost enters the same zip code as his wife leaving a desk job to terrorize Palestinians

My first movie was The Lion King. I was a VERY, VERY small baby and apparently I did an insane shit that went everywhere and my dad missed half the movie while he dealt with the aftermath. The first one I REMEMBERwas Thumbelina. That sexy ass frog changed my brain. It's a miracle I'm not a furry.

we should all be pissed off at this btw. if not because sex work is legitimate work and should be treated with respect, then because you should be concerned at attempts to gentrify online spaces as pretext to court investors and force out minorities so those spaces can become part of a portfolio.

I think we found the worst animated thing ever

Let me share some positive news for a change: Despite all the gloomy headlines today, my understanding is that there are multiple paths actively being explored that would save Arkane Lyon. Anything can happen during negotiations, but at this point I'd be surprised if the studio is shut down.

I hope Trisha Paytas is having a wonderful day with her husband and three beautiful children right now. I hope she had a gigantic bowl of buttered pasta and gets to watch the Donny Osmond production of Joseph at full volume. No reason. :)
