I still regret missing out on the Digiphile bundle that had Peripeteia, System Shock 2, Blood West and Shadows of Doubt.

Talking again about Tomodachi, I decided to fill my island with about 50 Miis before I stopped playing.

I actually had a weird-ish dream a few days ago.

I was in some sort of facility, there were a lot of big corridors and rooms with glass doors.

I was walking around, when I find this neat circular room. It had a very small staircase (like, two steps) that led to the center of the room, where a bunch of beanbags and sofas were.

Among the sofas, I find this neat little cat. I go and start to pet it.

Then I notice a shadow behind me and when I turn around, I am met by this absolute behemoth of a woman, towering over me.

That woman was like 2.5m tall, probably 3m. When my surprise subsides, I notice she isn't actually human.

Her head was human, but her entire body was clockwork machinery. She had this kind face that I can only describe as "motherly", with a silky shoulder height hair that parted in the middle, then curved upwards away from her body.

Her body was mostly metal, with some copper and gold colored bits. I could see her innards was pretty much entirely gears and wiring.

Her hands and her legs from the knee down were "human", but everything else was metal.

Then she was there just staring at me. And suddenly she starts to make small talk, how I was, do I like cats, nice weather today, then waves goodbye and I wake up.

I think she introduced herself as "Esther" but might have been "Aether", I can't remember.

This returned to my recommended videos recently

I yet have to get an invite for Deadlock.

Ok I changed my mind, this game fucking sucks.

Well, this time I got to the "ending" that is getting enough wishes to unlock the final Travel Ticket. So I started creating enough Miis to unlock the last island expansion.

Meet the final Rogues' Gallery:

First row: Joey Claire (Hiveswap), Super Ghostbusters (YOU NEED TO PEE), Jade Harley (Homestuck), Milk-chan (Tiny Boobs Giant Tits History), I. M. Meen (Game of same name), John Cruelty (Cruelty Squad), the Elf (Merrivius' Elf and Human comics), Roulxs Kaard (Deltarune), Reimu (Touhou), Pucca (Show of the same name), John Egbert (Homestuck), Siddhartha AKA Buddha (Saint Young Men), Cece (HellOnEarth's St. Denis webcomic)

Second row: Dr. N. Cortex (Crash Bandicoot), Zeld (Ronununu animations), ENA (Joel G animations), Cirno (Touhou), Hellen (Look Outside), Carl (Aqua Teen Hunger Force), Majima (Yakuza), Hank Hill (King of the Hill), Undyne (Undertale), Roxy Lalonde (Homestuck), Lammy (UnJammer Lammy), Dr. Weird (Aqua Teen Hunger Force)

Third row: Dave Strider (Homestuck), Dirk Strider (Homestuck), Void (OC), Red (OC), Kris, Penny (OC), Spamton (Deltarune)

Fourth row: Rochelle (OC), Liza (OC), Aurelia (OC) 

Well, I've played enough of the new Tomodachi that I believe I got most cutscenes.

Overall, its as fun as the 3DS one, I think the game has less scenarios. It didn't take long to see the same conversations and dreams.

I also haven't seen the song creator, even though the songs do exist in game and you can sometimes watch the Miis singing them.

Apparently the question game, the choice game and the rap event also didn't make into this game.

The Mii design is still rather limited. I wish there was a way to make custom face parts or at least more settings for the existing ones.

You can't position the eyes iris or change the color of the white part.

There is a lack of different kinds of beard and some hair styles don't have their parts as the front/back options.

The item creator is cool and all, but there is a serious lack of presets for clothes. You can only make shirts and dresses for tops, nothing that has a different model, same for bottoms with only regular pants and skirts, even though you can buy bell bottom pants and stuff.

All clothes also have visible seams that you can't get rid of and its hard to design stuff with skin tones because the only preview you get is with a gray dummy.

Makes it rather annoying to design clothes using a Mii skin tone.

No way to make custom gloves, shoes or different headgear too.

The face paint helps, but there is a problem where the lightning it uses is different from the Mii faces, and it also has a weird shading problem when using black colors. If you paint over a Mii eyes or outside their face, sometimes the paint goes gray.

Creating items also causes a problem with a massive overlook: the shadow quiz game. If you create a TV show, your creations can get thrown along other items that include the existing TV shows, so your choices will present two items with the same shape.

Married Miis still sleep in separate rooms, which is kinda a missed opportunity.

First row: I. M. Meen, John Cruelty (Cruelty Squad), the Elf (Merrivius comics), Roulxs Kaard

Second row: Dr. N. Cortex, Zeld (Ronununu animations), ENA, Cirno, Hellen (Look Outside), Carl (Aqua Teen Hunger Force), Majima (Yakuza), Hank Hill, Undyne, Roxy Lalonde, Lammy, Dr. Weird (Aqua Teen Hunger Force)

I think I have an explanation:

While I am particularly proud of this piece, I really hope people didn't give me extra points for the 12th or so version of my main OC.

Seriously, I made them as a self joke because I keep redesigning her. I reused 2 designs and created 5 more just for the game, without mentioning the unused ones.

Out of 96 entries (it was 98 or so before a few got disqualified), my dumb OC game got around 35th place on Joel's gamejam.

What the shit? I honestly didn't expect it to go above 60th.

Seriously, its just a walking sim with a bunch of my OCs and a lousy plot tying it together.

Hi, thanks for joining FrenJam! Your game was pretty freaking funny. It had a good vibe to it. It's clear you have talent and I hope you explore making something similar in the future! There's definitely the basis for a comedy game or comic or something here. You got a whole world that feels interesting. Thanks again for joining!

 

Very interesting with all the flavor text, nice story to follow along. Was fun bouncing around looking for everyone

My island is composed of a few of my OCs and then a bunch of characters from random media.

The new Tomodachi is kinda funny.

Microsoft can force updates through 3 different methods.

I had updates disabled and the download folder blocked to receive any files, yet now and then I would start my PC and get an update. Later I found there was a setting on my BIOS that let stealth updates be installed.

I think some stuff like Bing and Office also can force some updates.

Still talking about the shitpost I made for Joel's jam, I also want to post some of the drawings I made specially for the game.

What still amuses me is how some AI image generators are still plagued by the yellow tint due the sheer amount of Ghibli prompts causing the results to infect the sample pool.

Did it place a anthro pony due association?

So, about that Joel Frenjam 2 game.

I guess I did it.

It really sucks. Its my first time overall using GODOT.

And there is no pause button, so alt-f4, lmao.

Now I have a feeling of regret.

Why the fuck did I do this?

...

I had some fun though.

Cave Story+ on Steam is being updated with the console version features.

I'm thinking of making a dumb game for that Joel's Gamejam.

Anyone wants a cameo? Send me a design with some dialogue and I'll try to make an npc or something.

Good investment.

Although this is where I stop, because to get the others I would have to pay $130, plus another $140 for shipping, plus another 50% for international purchases taxes.

With that money I can do something like buy the entire Initial D + Jojo's collection and have some money left.

I got Beyond Citadel from a Boomer Shooter bundle at Digiphile (Yes), which are from some people that used to work for Humble, so I might try that next.

And coincidently, I also got the Boomer Shooter bundle from Humble.

I already finished Immortal Redneck and Shooty Shooty, I'm neck deep in boomer shooters.

I too have completed The Citadel now.

I agree with most of what you guys said.

Gameplay was pretty good, weapons felt punchy, most weapons had some use aside the ones with super rare ammo or that couldn't hit shit like the shotgun (before the narrow barrel upgrade).

Levels were mixed. While they were graphically boring, they had a lot of variation. I laughed a bit with the Wolfenstein/DOOM secret levels.

I didn't find the game too hard, even though I think I went into the hard difficulty from the start? (Jumped on the middle hidden path on the Quake-like level)

I increased the optional settings to medium and didn't feel much difference aside some enemies spamming more projectiles at once.

Leaning felt overpowered. Its like enemies couldn't see you as long you were leaning, even though your entire body was away from the wall.

I always had a lot of ammo on all guns, and that even before the game doubles then infinites your carrying capacity. I actually was selling ammo very often, I ended the game with around 15k money, even after buying all upgrades and the special weapons.

The last two bosses I had over 60 rockets.

And I think I cheesed the last level because I could shoot everyone with the sniper through the invisible wall.

The gore wasn't that amazing. Enemies explode into gibblets, but they come out so clean and with these random colors that they look like LEGO characters exploding.

Didn't find any lore to explain what was going on. So mostly confused on why everyone are anime kids.

My major problems with the game were:

- Lack of tutorials for some mechanics.

I get one upgrade that says that if I "over doze" on O2, I get bullet time. I use an O2 canister at max energy and... nothing happens?

They never tell you you can pick up discarded mags you drop from a quick reload.

Apparently getting food with a full bar upgrades your health?

You can hold your breath to steady your aim. I never found the button that does that.

- The ledge grab doesn't works half of the time.

- When you reset a level, some items don't return. I noticed that because when I was doing the tutorial, no bloodbags or O2 canisters were spawning until I died.

- WHY is there a hunger mechanic??

- The game started to randomly crash a lot during and after Act 5.

So, it guess its alright?

I'd say that humor started even earlier with Looney Tunes and MGM cartoons.

I've started playing this one called "Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion".

Its so dumb, I love it. Its like playing an old Nickelodeon cartoon.

I have now finished it. And I gotta say, I really liked it, so I am recommending it to whoever wants a comedy game with some action.

Its SO dumb and both the style and humor is Newgrounds levels, but it was a cool game.

It barely counts as a "shooter" game and the only reason it does is that sometimes you have a gun and sometimes you get to shoot it.

The story revolves around a team of jackasses that took me until the middle of the game to learn that 2 of them are supposed to be girls.

I wouldn't say they are relatable, but through their dumbassery they still somehow manage to be believable and show a nice evolution though the game, which surprised me because this is 75% a comedy game.

There is even an almost 30 minute ending if you get all the secrets, which gives you one of the most funny AND depressing endings I've ever seen.

The Spec Ops line, "Nothing of this would have happened if you just stopped", comes to mind, because everything could have been explained by level 3, but oh no, you had to get drunk and then have violent lesbian sex in the bathroom.
