glitchthe3rd's Tulpaforcing Misadventures

Yeah you don't get far when you're driving a fucking school bus.

[Guest applesauce99]

Is Motorstorm like some kind of simulation?

[ThatOneGuy]

I'm pretty sure it's just a pretty great racing game >_>

[Guest applesauce99]

Well yeah, but I was wondering if he set up a bunch of NPC racers or just imagined the whole thing :3

[ThatOneGuy]

I'm thinking that he set up NPCs and shit. That's what it sounded like to me.

[glitchthe3rd]

Yeah you don't get far when you're driving a fucking school bus.

 

In Motorstorm, everyone's top speed is 120 km/hr, so you can win with even a crappy vehicle. Also, there's a certain element of strategy involved: Big Rigs and Monster Trucks can plow through mud and deep water no problem, but they aren't as agile as the smaller vehicles and can't fit down narrow pathways. Conversely, if you're driving a smaller vehicle you'll want to steer clear of mud, water and racers that are much bigger than you.

 

So yes, you could win with said school bus, it just takes some skill. Also might like to add that monster trucks are a little OP, if one gets in front you can pretty much kiss first place goodbye.

So I guess Elise got sick of being treated like a child, so she made herself six years older. She's taller now, and more developed in... places..., but otherwise looks more or less the same as before.

[glitchthe3rd]

Well, I'm going to be leaving for some amount of time between five days and six weeks. Some stuff came up at home, and once again it falls to me to deal with it. Of course I have my tulpas to help me, so it's not all bad.

 

I will say that I've been able to trust Saria more, though she seems to want to leave and never return, rather than stay with us. I can't force her to stay, but I gave her until the end of summer to reach a decision. In any case, she seems to be making preparations by passing along my final instructions to Elise, and has instructed us to not mourn her or even think about her after she leaves. She also appears to quite literally have a piece of me that I'm unwilling to let go, a glowing white shard of... something... embedded in her chest. She proposed a trade, the shard in exchange for access to my memories, provided she decides to stay.

 

As for why she feels useless and generally wants to die, I think it's because she perceives herself as a third wheel of sorts, someone who had a use in the past but has since been outmoded. Presently she doesn't seem very useful, mainly just hanging around in my wonderland and not saying very much. Indeed, letting her go could very well streamline things in my subconscious.

[Avalanche]

Tell her about Ellenore, Sock's tupper.

[glitchthe3rd]

I did, but she still wants to leave the planet and never return.

 

mfw:

 

But yeah, basically she's upset about her whole existence essentially being a science experiment. I tried to make things right with her, but she'd rather die anyway, so meh. At least this way I don't have to feel bad about letting her go.
