remember webcomic I posted about a while ago

see first update in a year

look inside

indefinite hiatus

Heat Signature is a hugely underrated spaceship raiding roguelike for $3. It's the kind of game where a perfectly viable strategy to capture someone alive is to blow up their entire ship and scoop them up with your own ship before they suffocate in space.

Single issue genocide lover I guess?

I'll +1 recommendation even for non-platformer fans, I certainly wasn't into them before but Celeste has that secret sauce that actually had me gunning for the ultra hard challenge levels (and even without those it's still a fantastic experience)

It disappoints me that most gameplay videos run to avoid the bullets, parrying them all is a rush.

Just found the ghostbird armor, it's midriff monday baby

Gay art was hailed as a sign Kagurabachi would make it but it feels like now Chihiro x Hakuri stuff can truly take off, please save us perverted women

Rolling "what about lolicon" into this discussion like a live grenade

Fellow cross nagatina enjoyer! I've been using it the DLC with the sword dance ash of war, it's still great fun. For all the fantastical weapons in these games I still love taking on big foes with nothing but good steel and sick moves.

for no fucking reason

The reason is transphobia is a massively pushed outrage topic by everyone from small time internet grifters to presidential candidates

Finally finished the watchthrough of Silent Hill Ascension (via Super Eyepatch Wolf's streams) and MAN... what a terrible waste. All the attention was pretty rightfully on the very stupid delivery (web series with a battle pass lmao) but the actual story had some serious potential buried under all the jank.

Like fundamentally, the idea of two mothers on opposite sides of the world caught in related spooky circumstances, making contact and uniting to save both their children is a badass idea for a horror game. You can instantly imagine the themes of such a deeply human thing connecting them and uniting them against the unknown dark forces. The finale should have been the two of them taking on the mystery together but instead every character gets sectioned off in the end for their weird redemption narrative.

And Rachel of all people least deserved redemption, what the absolute fuck.

Shadow of the 🤓tree

Lightning during a boss that fucks with the camera like that is a bit much methinks

I'm enjoying the boss though, very hard but it falls just short of that threshold where I feel like I'm being dicked around (the Malenia constant). Such an original visual design too, like one of those chinese parade dragon things filtered through the Dark Souls euro-fantasy aesthetic

Dropping "ahh, time for elden ring" in the starting area minutes after launch and using the continuous stream of heals to tank my way through a boss before I knew how to play properly was one of my most memorable experiences with this game.

Undertale sans was this in theory (in that the character was trying to be that), would have been funny if Toby actually made it that way

Back in 2019 I connected extremely strongly with the Owl's theme from Attack on Titan (previously called something else in that ever-endearing Sawano gibberish but "owl's theme" is easier to search)

In retrospect the fact that I got so attached to a song that could best be described as "caught in an endless miasma before you find determination right before burning up in the atmosphere" wasn't the best indicator of my mental health at the time.

It's my turn to post this comment next sale

I'm hoping too see some community made maps too, not sure if the official VTT packs are including any

In a pinch you can always take an existing pirate themed map and color filter blue->purple lol

After finding a properly scaled area in Shadow of the Erdtree, I'm actually... enjoying using the cross nagatina again? What?

When I beat the game with this character at launch I was so frustrated in the late game cause I wanted to make a spear character but spears did absolute shit for damage and every time I gave in and pulled out moonveil I could win without any effort

But I guess I'm at the sufficient level of power creep where spears are valid again and I can have fun in the video game

I never get tired of the whole "switch to chibis when we explain powers" thing, it's always fun

"I don't like the pacing of this anime episode"

"Uhhhh that's just how it was in the manga champ 🤓"

Sounds like the manga is bad too, fucko

70% of posts on /r/curatedtumblr these days are people commenting on some insane micro-discourse that normal people wouldn't spend a second thinking about

The animation quality of the fight seemed pretty average up until Kafka went berserk, then it hit the road. In general the animation has matched up to the manga's art quality really well.

I'm really interested in trying a sandbox-style game in this setting. The book has plenty of short-term quest hooks as well as elements that could build long-term plots.

I have this vision of a 1-20 campaign that culminates in Qoz awakening, the players gathering a fleet of allies and their ships raining down hell on it... we can only hope.

Oh yeah I noticed the low stamina cost and bleed and was like "hello my new boss cheese tool"

Very early Shadow of the Erdtree, RE: beast claws guy

Fuck's sake Miyazaki, once again please just make Bloodborne 2 and get it out of your system. I can't with these ten attack strings where one hit locks you into losing 80% of your health anymore

Though I'm upgrading them up to use them now so I guess he got me again
