i finished otokonoko fishing after finding out you can in fact use consumables and this is how you tank the unavoidable damage when taking on the last fish, a dunkleosteus. cutting it up you find your missing big brother in a wedding dress with all the fanfare of a gacha game ssr pull. amazing. anyway, from all the fishing games iâve played (this and legend of the river king) you always need to have a sibling in trouble who can only be saved by catching the baddest fish around right? is that how fishing adventures work?
i donât think this game is all that good, but like⊠i think i stuck with it for the âbitâ and because i can forgive a lot when putting boys in dresses. sorry. just how it is

Finished The Saboteur. It was pretty ok. Overall an interesting and mostly worthwhile game. Much more cinematic and better written than GTA but that isnât exactly saying much. The protagonist is really dumb though.
I think the gameâs choice of 2 weapons and limited ammo is what keeps the gunplay generally interesting - my main complaint is you canât really make a loadout before starting a mission. You can totally go to a base to outfit yourself but itâs really inconvenient. You could call in re-enforcement squads but I never did either. There is like a whole tech tree in the game that I didnât really engage with because your base starting point can get you through most of the game and little additions donât really make much of a difference.
A lot of the cars in the game are old-timey race cars, like theyâre over represented despite civilian cars taking up most of the vehicles you see on the road. The vehicles all have a problem where on certain slopes they thrash between gears because itâs going fast enough to upshift but slows down enough to downshift. Their center of gravity seems to be the center of the earth the way that they never tip over. All these are problems Iâm very familiar with. The camera also pre-tilts up and down when you go up and down hills so you can see where youâre going, roughly.
This game also has some very good junky cars lmao. Thereâs several variations that are beat up and hauling a bunch of luggage and boxes on them and itâs such a good touch.
I do think the best missions are where youâre clambering on rooftops and shooting dudes, but a lot of them are 3rd person cover shooter fests. Cliffy B probably ruined a whole generation of games that had to have a little bit of Gears of War in them.
Anyway, tanks should be easier to hijack, there should have been a few tank rampage side missions or something. The sheer amount of nazi infrastructure there is to blow up is overwhelming so the odd watchtowers I take out never feels like it makes a dent in things.
Well thatâs it! Videogame!

Do they do anything noteworthy with the protagonistâs Irish identity or is it just kinda set-dressing? Was always morbidly curious about it because of his bad fake accentâŠ

he has some interesting conversations with an English priest about England vs Ireland. and a bunch of British spies where itâs clear he doesnât like them. They donât do much else.

just finished a short adventure game on the spectrum based on the cabinet of dr caligari, the 1920 german expressionist film. video games can be about anything.

More FF1 pixel remaster with boosts because I donât have unlimited time to grind out levels and gold. A lot of this game feels inscrutable without a guide. No wonder I never got past the chaos shrine when I was a child in the early nineties.

Steam kept pushing this game called Drive Beyond Horizions and by all appearances it seems to be âThe Long Drive, but made in Unrealâ and Iâm a bit let down at how much of a straight adaptation it is of The Long Drive, which has some neat ideas, but doesnât really add any of itâs own. The main selling point is that itâs The Long Drive but the physics arenât wonky, so you can put physics objects in the trunk and they wonât glitch out, things of that nature. Thereâs also 4 player co-op which might be interesting? For some streamers maybe.
After getting the starter car running I found a Nissan Skyline and got that running, and basically drove from one building to the next, and was really bored. Thereâs zombies in the game but they arenât really a threat. Thereâs meters for hunger, drink, and piss, and they donât really add anything to the game. There was one time I was really âthirstyâ in game and found a can of pop in the middle of nowhere by a billboard but that was kind of weird. You can get vessels of water but you canât drink any - itâs for the carâs radiator.
You can get a backpack but it isnât clear how to add stuff to that or if you can or if itâs cosmetic. The player character is really ugly - maybe theyâre so dedicated to recreating The Long Drive they had to make them ugly as a meme or whatever.
Car parts you can mix and match, but they are required to be on the car for it to function. Like if you donât have a brake pedal your car just does not have brakes, if you donât have a shifter the car will be stuck in first gear. Generally thereâs enough scattered parts to make one functional car, but IDK if that adds anything to the game.
The game looks great! The world generation is way better than The Long Drive, except I would say The Long Driveâs starkness and longer draw distance gives the game a different feel. It has a generic Unreal 5 look to it, which isnât anything actually spectacular or whatever?
I want to like this game but the entire time I played it iâm like âwhat ifâŠI refunded it, thereâs nothing really new hereâ and judging by the roadmap all theyâre going to add is new points of interest and cars and scenarios, but thatâs really it soâŠwho knows? The game has one scenario right now which is âkill the aliens and discover the truthâ whichâŠalright. Maybe Iâll check that out.
What do I want out of a road survival game? Towns. Better systems to get you to drive from A to B. IDK. There are a few other games like this on Steam and instead of taking the idea of Unlimited Terrain + Driving mechanics + Survival systems and running with it the game is just âtack goofy shit on your car + memesâ
With The Long Drive it takes a bit of luck to put together an actual car with stuff and be able to drive a considerable distance because resources are scarce and you have to transfer fluids carefully using a siphon, and if you tip over containers the fluid falls out. This leads to lots of scavenging for gas in huge tankers that have mysteriously run aground and hoarding stuff in your trunk.
So yeah, IDK if I have a real point here. Wishing developers would discover graphics donât actually make a better game but the game has a ton of steam reviews and therefore sales, and seems to be positioning themselves as streamer bait so whoâs to say.

Dev who made Make Ten last year released a deluxe version with 30-some often bizarre variants, even the free browser demo version has some utterly kooky ones like âMake 42â. Was probably my favorite time waster from last year.

Pokénotes:
this was the first time in like a fuckin decade that ive done a vanilla playthrough of Blue, which was not only my childhood First Pokémon Game but also My First JRPG! i remember seeing maps of Mt. Moon in Nintendo Power after watching the anime and wondering where the heck all the Pokemon appear or how battles feasibly take place in them, cuz the concept of a random encounter was foreign to me
it is an enjoyably plain JRPG, like an early Dragon Quest or FF level of simple resource and party management. the MOTHER influence is more blatant to me than itâs ever been. Khan has some great posts about generation 1 in a past iteration of this thread that i had in mind while playing, i specifically recalled his point that TMs and moves in this generation are akin to finding a slightly better sword or piece of armor, which tracks with how incredibly barren the move learnsets are in this gen. The only TMs you can just buy are self-damaging moves like Double Edge or stat boosts like Reflect/Double Team. which tbf having Double Team on most of your guys is a pretty winning strategy; accuracy/evasion is really punishing thanks to the one PokĂ©mon at a time turn economy and seems especially busted here
but of course itâs far from the only thing busted this generation heheh. My ridiculous inflated wallet (nicenice64) is of course courtesy of the MISSINGNO. dupe glitch, which i use more out of tradition than necessity. (I actually sequence broke this time around, heading for Fuschia City ASAP to collect Surf and going south from Pallet Town to unlock Cinnabar on my flight list. real heads know) but there are ways these games are broken i wasnât even aware of until this playthrough. Like did you know that every other badge in this generation gives you a whooping +12.5% to a stat? thatâs why your monsters can be 10-15 levels lower than the Elite Four and still be competetive. BUT ALSO, every time your stats are buffed OR debuffed in battle, the badge buffs are reapplied cuz they are of course glitched to hell. also the badges donât actually boost the stats the gym leaders say, cuz of course they donât. Oh Game Freak, i love you guys
to give myself a little extra challenge i avoided using any of my favorites from previous playthroughs (Sandslash, Persian, and the Char-line were in 90% of my champion teams when i routinely replayed the game in my 20s). i also avoided having a psychic-type, since you can basically solo the game with a Kadabra (not even an Alakazam). I also changed my team around in general A LOT trying to keep at least 1-2 PokĂ©mon who still had evolutions & moves in the party. This is a lot closer to how i traditionally play SMT than PokĂ©mon, where my team tends to coalesce early on and stay consistent. and it ended up being a really fun way to replay, though my ridiculous inflated hour count came from a lil bit of fast-forward grinding at a few points (itâs really not that necessary though, you get so much more EXP from battling trainers and there are SO MANY trainers in this game lol, presumably to balance out the fact that you canât rematch anyone except the Elite Four)
so at age 34-going-on-35 i have finally completed Pokémon Blue Version with all three starters lol
note that while i pushed for my Dragonair REALLY hard i still didnt get a fully evolved Dragonite until after iâd caught MewtwoâŠ
OF COURSE my PokĂ©mon journey doesnât stop here. Iâve been itching to replay Crystal for a long time. and ive just discovered that the mobile emulator im using lets me trade WITH MYSELF so rest assured that Sweetpea the Dragonite will see the light of a Johto sky 
in factâŠ
with this knowledge it might be kinda fun to use Red Version as a New Game+ of sortsâŠ

After buying it on release day and playing it off and on without any serious hiatus since then, I just finished Elden Ring⊠lol. I did do Erdtree too, to be fair.
Who was it here who described that game as âtoo much cakeâ? They were right. Great game on the whole, but I hope they do something more tight and focused next time.
Now that Iâve finished it, I want to watch a lore video, but this game is so long even the lore videos are hours long! That Ranni questline and ending was sick though, I want to know what her deal was.

The last couple days I thought it was just because I was distracted and missing clues, but I think Marioâs Picross might have finally ventured into Battleship territory at last half way through the star batch.
I guess it makes the ticking clock a bit more immediate if you know youâve got to potentially cash in six or eight minutes on a coin flip that doesnât go in your favor.

I also played Elden Ring recently (although I started and finished in like 2 months or something lol) but if you check the thread someone linked me a series of these archaeology videos that are really incredible on like deep backstory suggested by architecture, geography etc. If you want a more surface-level read of all the characters and their interrelations I guess VaatiVidya is that guy (but, spoilers, itâs aliens).
