Overwatch PvE
Mar. 24th, 2024 10:41 pmWell, Overwatch PvE is officially dead. No one is surprised and I can't say I'm even that bummed about it anymore. It's kind of nice to have the confirmation it's definitely not going to happen. (I didn't even buy Invasion—a paid version of an Archives mission doesn't sound that fun?? Like, I enjoyed Archives but I didn't enjoy it enough to pay extra for it.)
Has any other IP been fumbled THIS badly in proportion to how good it was? Because Overwatch was lightning in a bottle when it launched and it fizzled out in such a sad way!
But anyway, the gameplay is still fun, and still nothing can really come close to what it does! I've tried other games to try and replace Overwatch, but nothing hits the same, so as disappointed as I am with Blizzard in general and with how they mismanaged this game in particular, at least the PvP is still great, and with the changes to Competitive I'm back to playing that mode again, too!
I've picked up Lifeweaver and Illari as new mains, and I'm excited for Venture and the Mars support!

A video game TCG?
Mar. 16th, 2024 11:26 am
Hello! Is anyone familiar with virtual trading card games? There's
colors_tcg on Dreamwidth for example, and there are games like Sakura and Sidequest on their own sites!
But what I've been wanting is a video game TCG here on Dreamwidth...so I've been making one! Would anyone be interested in being a mod for the game? Or even a co-admin?

I've done a lot of the foundation work for the game, and it's time now to get others involved and work toward the prejoin event and grand opening! (: The community is at
There are various mod tasks available!
- running services like masteries, currency shop, level ups, etc.
- running the weekly and biweekly games
- modding the discord (if we decide we want one)
- deckmaking! (if you enjoy making icons or graphics, you might like making decks!)
There's a wide variety in terms of work load as well, so if you're interested in helping but don't have a ton of time, go ahead a join, too!
(And finally if anyone is interested in playing once the game opens, but doesn't want to mod, membership at
( I'll put some info on the game under the cut! )
Video game werewolves and witches??
Sep. 21st, 2023 02:19 pmQuestion for anyone reading!
What are your favorite video game characters who are WITCHES or WEREWOLVES?
I need to start making the Halloween decks for
ggtcg and I thought a deck dedicated to witches and werewolves each would be fun! But these are multifandom decks so if I go with games that I know myself then it won't have a good variety!
Drop me the names of your fave witches and werewolves in video games and if you have a favorite picture of them, even better!

video game TCG - a followup!
Sep. 13th, 2023 10:21 pmA bit ago I mentioned that I was messing around with a potential TCG for video games...and I have got a lot done since then!
Firstly, here's the final designs for most of the cards:
Here's the design for DLC decks. These are decks that are multifandom or multicharacter!

Also! All the important parts of the website are functioning. The game will mostly be played here on Dreamwidth, with the website providing additional support.
Here is the page with the cards decks listed by category: https://ggtcg.online/cards.php?view=released
And here where they will sort by fandom: https://ggtcg.online/cards.php
EVEN BETTER, the randomizers are working. These were critical, as mods will need them to generate random rewards for activities and games.
Here are the general randomizers, which can generate from all base and DLC decks or separate by category. I've also devised a method for random foil drops to occur with appropriate rarity in the basic randomizer: https://ggtcg.online/randomizer.php
And this randomizer will drop only specific classes! (Every character deck will be assigned one of 10 classes, in keeping with the gaming theme): https://ggtcg.online/classrandomizer.php
I have also made the community for the game,
ggtcg which has some preliminary info there on possible game schedule! The community is joinable if anyone wants to keep an eye on development, but not open for posting yet obviously.
NEXT TASKS
- MAKING DECKS. So many decks. And hopefully finding people willing to make decks with me or at least donate deck images.
- Documentation! Lots of write ups still to be made.
- Finding people who might be interested! Once more decks are made, I might start posting to some promo or gaming communities to see if there will be enough players for this to eventually launch.

A Video Game TCG?
Sep. 2nd, 2023 08:50 pmToying with the idea of making a video game only trading card game here on Dreamwidth, in the tradition of Lifebottle, Colors, etc.. This one would be ONLY video games but ALL video games, which is a niche I haven't seen in any of the current active tcgs, especially the ones attached to Dreamwidth.
I've been making practice decks for Overwatch at the moment while I work out how the game would play. Here's some examples!
A Sombra base card:

And Sombra foil card:

Sombra's mastery card (for when you collect her whole deck):

And her foil mastery card:

One potential problem is just that I don't know a lot of people on Dreamwidth, so I'm not sure how I would get the word out to other people who like playing TCGs on here! But for now I will keep making decks and working on the backend stuff and we'll see how it goes! (:

dusting off DW + Flight Rising art
Aug. 2nd, 2023 04:12 pmI went ahead and reorganized a few things here, got my tags in order, and found several new journals to subscribe to. With the platform that used to be called Twitter going down an odd path and reddit likewise, I've been using DW a lot more!
Here is a Flight Rising portrait I have yet to post here.

Things I'm Loving About Overwatch 2
Oct. 13th, 2022 02:10 pm- The new voicelines and interactions!! Reaper telling Sigma to get back in his cage. Jack and Sigma! Jack and Widowmaker fighting over who loved Gerard most??! EVERYTHING Junkrat says. As mainly a fan of the lore and characters, I am eating well these days.
- Some of the redesigns are tight.
- Junkrat stopped setting his head on fire long enough for his hair to grow back, I'm so proud of him.
Mei will appreciate how well he cleans up. - PING SYSTEM
- I can passive aggressively spam my respawn timer while the DPS who refused to protect me asks for heals while I'm dead.
- It's nice to flex queue and not endlessly get tank time after time.
- Mystery Heroes got promoted to the QP page.
- Mercy's movement feels really good.
The Youtube is in full swing!
Mar. 3rd, 2022 12:03 am I have somewhat quietly launched the Youtube channel over the last couple months, and it's going well! So it's time to share it more widely!
So far I've got one complete Let's Play series for Carrion. Here's the first episode!
And we also have ongoing videos from The Isle, which are definitely the favorites on the channel! Here's one of those:
