oh my god i missed drawful nooo
Has anyone here played Drawception?
There were a couplea months about seven years ago that I was really into it. But eventually anxiety about drawing overtook me.
It’s possible to do, like, walled-garden games with just people you know, exchanging text and image prompts. It might be neat to do an SB-limited set of these?

I suck at drawing but I love drawing games. I just like party games in general I think.
My mom’s up sewing masks so I went into her room at 1AM and said “Hey Mom I beat Zelda” and she said “try on this mask” and it didn’t fit so it’s her mask now.
I said she should get some sleep and wished her sweet dreams and then she texted me congratulations on beating Zelda.
I had a good time re-playing a Link to the Past, which is a game I was never that big on. I still think it ain’t the best game, but it is a very good game. I just can’t think of many other games I’ve played so often where so little of it’s stuck with me – this is a very attractive game-world but there’s something about the way it’s laid out that makes me not want to put any effort into navigating it. I know where everything is but there’s a twisty-ness to the way you route through it – combined with the one world laid upon another aspect – that my brain just rejects.
But it’s a good time and I am probably going to make another thread about it soon. I am also going to replay A Link Between Worlds, which I hope I still love cuz gosh…that was maybe the biggest surprise of last decade, to me.

So I was curious what the last line of this meant. I couldn’t figure it out for a few runs.
Every time I talked to Dojima, the conversation would go like this:
- DOJIMA: It’s great we aren’t in debt
- ME: Yeah
- D: I’m never going into debt again
- M: Yeah, haha, like, what if you made a golden statue. That’d be the way to go into debt for sure.
- D: Yeah that’d be dumb.
Finally I picked the option that made him build a golden statue. It drained MY ENTIRE BANK, 89k worth of sick Katana Kami coins, to make a statue out front. It looks like this.

It changed all pray statues in the dungeons to the same model too, just for kicks.
So now I have to pay off the debt to save Nanami again. It’s only 15k though, which I can get in like… one day. Depending on what I send her while the debt is up, though, changes her appearance. So in a very oblique way, the game’s tooltip was right, and punked me good.

Speaking of getting punked…
To marry Nanami (and I think unlock the last dungeon), you have to find a legendary sword in a Sword Cave. You fight to floor 30 of Ghostly Metropolis, fighting a bunch of difficult enemies (including one which CURSES YOUR SWORD if he hits you!) and beating a two-phase boss.
You finally enter the cave… and this is what greets you.
Every single sword is unidentified. They all have identical models. And only one is the right one.

Truly! A bunch of sort of unrelated “dungeons” and puzzles I was doing just suddenly fit together in a lovely way which brought some sweeping changes to the game world. Suddenly it feels like the adventure has all this new momentum and I’m having a lot of fun.
Frustrations do exist - platforming is simultaneously too easy but too flaky. Honestly, if you die platforming I feel like it is 75% the game’s fault. Combat feels sort of like filler, though I’m happy there aren’t any bosses. A lot of the game is sort of following quest markers on the map but you do have to figure out how to get from A to B which isn’t always completely obvious. I still think a lot of the upgrades are kind of superfluous.

Does “Galaxie 5000” count as a Galaxie 500 reference?
