I have a few that are my favourites right now. Not because they are outright scary, but rather because they pretty much do horror storytelling right and have depth to that storytelling as well. They're also just made in a top down RPG maker of some description. No over the top flashy graphics and just use what is necessary to tell a story and offer an experience. The games are Ib, Misao, Mad Father and The Witch's House. They all focus on exploration and puzzle solving in terms of game play as well as surviving whatever they throw at you. Ib You play a little girl that visits an art gallery, that soon finds herself in a more cursed version of that gallery. The art pieces either serve as part of the puzzles, offering clues to progressing throughout the gallery in search of a way out. Or they serve as hostile entities that are out to harm you. So expect to be chased around in a dark room by crawling portraits hanging out of their frames. It doesn't rely on blood and gore, but instead focuses on the basic fear of uneasiness and the unknown. The antagonist is also complex as it isn't outright evil. I really wanted to see the antagonist get their wish, because I found them relatable. The Witch's House Now this one is definitely a change of pace in terms of horror as there are ways to meet many horrible and bloody fates. In this one, you play as a young girl venturing into a house in the woods that belongs to a witch and as you would expect, is cursed with all sorts of horrors. The things where you can meet your demise, can range from your average perils to the strange and disturbing. Also, the story has an interesting twist, depending on a certain item you obtain before the ending. Misao This one has more story depth to it. It revolves around a high school girl named Misao who goes missing and curses her school. You play as one of her classmates who wants to find Misao and help her. It touches on subjects of extreme bullying and you learn more about what Misao went through and what the others did to her. It all leads to a rather disturbing turn of events as you learn her whole story and what happened. You're not too heavily pursued by threats in this game, but the setting is a massive threat of it's own as interacting with anything remotely innocent leave you meeting a horrible fate in some way. Some bloody and some disturbing and weird. But you do get an achievement list of all the deaths you "collect". So if you're not afraid of the morbid, it can be fun to see what horrible ends you can meet. Mad Father From the same creator as Misao and with some connected lore to Misao that doesn't affect the story or gameplay as such, but is a pretty big Easter Egg. In this one, you play a little girl in Germany who lived with her mother and father. A perfect little happy family living in a mansion filled with dolls of all sizes. However, the father, who is a scientist is always shut away in the basement within his laboratory, the daughter, completely oblivious to what he does in there. Additionally, things aren't as happy in the family as they may seem. The father is having an affair with his assistant and the mother knows of it. At some point, the mother had passed away and later, a curse is placed on the mansion. The dolls that fill the mansion come to life and become hostile. The game revolves you playing as the little girl, exploring the mansion and her father's laboratory with the objective of saving him. But as you progress, you discover a lot of disturbing truths about the father's work. So yeah. I definitely recommend these if you like classic horror storytelling, exploration and puzzle solving.

Misfits, oddballs, outcasts, eccentrics... You know. Awesome people.

I feel that they don't really matter.

I used to identify as bisexual. But these days, it's more accurate to say that I'm pansexual.

It can sometimes leave me between two extremes. One is a feeling of utter disappointment and pity. The other extreme is the need to smack the world over the head repeatedly with two cafeteria trays.

Pretty much this.

Seeing as it's now December and to get myself into the Christmas spirit, I'm currently listening to a Halloween mix of Touhou song remixes from the year 2013.

My axe.

I always go out of my way to be friendly. But I'm a complete sadist towards evil people.

Bourbon cream biscuits. Because I haven't been bothered to make breakfast yet.

In terms of acting, because they can be fun roles to play. In the terms of the more real. It can be a case of one person's hero being another person's villain. But if we're going with villain in the sense of a morally bankrupt, corrupted, principles free individual, then I have no idea why anyone would choose that as a conscious decision. The only people that seem to go down that road are people who have no conscience and way too much ambition.

Colder than a penguin's backside.

For me, it always comes down to context. Regular vocabulary can be just as offensive and aggressive as cursing or swearing. It all comes down to how words as a whole are generally used. It's possible to be polite and to swear at the same time as it is to be rude and not use swear words. The perception of it all also comes down to psychology and sensitivity. There's no denying that angry and aggressive people tend to use more than their fair share of curse/swear words. So if someone has been in a constant environment with someone like that, then it can leave an impact that has them associating those words with someone who isn't very nice. On the other hoof, you can have those who use them in a jovial and friendly manner where they come up to you, and give you a hard pat on the back and ask you "How the fuck are ya, my friend? Standing strong against the world's shit? " in a joyful, almost sing-song sort of voice full of affection. I never used to swear, due to school and strict surroundings, because I was taught that it was "vewy vewy baaaaad" by, quite frankly a bunch of hypocritical, condescending cretins who have the usefulness and self awareness of a fork in a bowl of soup. Ironically, I started swearing because of said useless cretins. Because there is only so much a girl can take in terms of patience. And I think 15-16 years of my life holding that patience is pretty good. Considering that I was sharing my company with people that had the charm and sophistication of a wounded moose strapped to a Ferris wheel.

A friend has pushed for me to get one, if I ever become rich and end up with a property that warrants it. But I would want one that would be to me, in the same way as to what Sakuya Izayoi is to Remilia Scarlet in Touhou.

Ever since I got a Cirno fumo, I've had the yearly tradition of sticking her on top of my tree.

Xellos from Slayers.

Yesterday when I suddenly thought back to an anime named "Anohana - The Flower We Saw That Day". Never has there been an anime that has made me ugly cry so hard more than that one has. Just thinking about it sets me off. Edit: Okay. Now about 4 minutes ago. I just HAD to think about it.

Right now, it would be a maid costume that I used for a Black Lagoon cosplay of Roberta.

Only when it comes with leaves in it.

Whatever version that doesn't randomly destroy itself in the background.

I was working on some artwork, but now taking a break before I do some story drafting work.
