  • Holy freakin moley that sounds exhausting. Is there a word for slander when it actually works to convince people of untrue things about you? Almost like gaslighting but for everyone else instead of yourself.

    I can’t even imagine the absurdity of being caught in a one-sided arch nemesis situation where someone has dedicated their life to destroying mine with zero interest from me except for watching The Monarch and Dr. Venture on The Venture Bros.

    I’m glad you’re free from such insanity and I really hope the damage he caused isn’t enough to stop you from having an enjoyable life.




  • Last time was way more detailed. It was sprawling with mass participation from so many communities that the more you zoomed in and looked, the more cool, creative and diverse stuff you’d find.

    This time looks like a completely bare bones shell of the handful of communities that even thought it was worth spending time on. It’s not even close to the same glorious effort that it was before.


  • He decided to give that person a horse with a loan

    I know it’s a typo but that sounds like an awesome start to a western video game, regardless of how it’s interpreted – either getting a horse and a loan for supplies, a horse that needs to be paid for later, or a horse that took out a loan by some kind of paperwork error and now has more money than you. I’d play any of those.

    And also I’m with you, I think the funny jokes about Tom Nook took off into a smear campaign. Having no time limit, interest free, and also being in a world where money is everywhere and literally grows on trees makes it an amazing deal.




  • Fair enough, I totally get that! I’m just on the other end of things – I feel like Toby Fox is saying that you can always choose to be better or you can ultimately make a turn for the worst, sometimes you change in time for it to make a difference and sometimes you don’t. Since Deltarune actually has multiple save slots I’ve found it easier to do a Sliding Doors kind of What If…? scenario where I can see how things are different depending on what choices I make.

    I confess I can’t go truly evil without feeling awful but I am curious about certain things like how I decide to help a certain character, who I encourage, if I want the main character to be an independent single type that cherishes their friendships or what if I choose to give one of those love interests a chance. I could only do the two intended playthroughs of Undertale with the single save system and how long it was to go through the entire game twice. With the multiple save slots in Deltarune and the fact that I have plenty of time in between chapters to play through each one through two alternate saved paths is what actually makes it possible for me to see what could have been if I’d chosen differently the first time instead of having to look it up later. The chapters are actually pretty long so it’s hard for me to imagine playing through the entire game multiple times without these long breaks in between.



  • This may be their first internal development but they are a fantastic game publisher already! They take a lot of chances publishing weirder stuff and it pays off a lot of the time. My favorites are:

    • Outer Wilds
    • Journey
    • Stray
    • What Remains of Edith Finch
    • Donut County
    • Gone Home
    • Kentucky Route Zero

    I kind of look at them as the A24 of games (nevermind that Annapurna Pictures is a thing) where they have excellent taste in choosing what odd features to publish and give a chance despite not creating them themselves. It at least suggests they care about the artistry of the product to a point where I’m expecting that same standard in their first hands-on development.






  • If this is OC, try using “rewards” to get him used to brushing! Taking a few pieces of kibble and giving him one at a time while brushing and one immediately afterward will help him tolerate it. I’ve known a few dogs with contact sensitivity where brushing isn’t their favorite thing, but is happy to let me gently get all that excess hair off in exchange for some treats!


  • This was what I was looking for, the intro to Peacemaker never fails to brighten my day! It’s easily the most James Gunn thing imaginable and it’s brought to life for all to enjoy. I added so many songs from that show’s soundtrack onto my workout playlist, all starting with the intro song.

    It is so completely perfect that I’m really curious what they’re gonna do for the Season 2 intro with new incoming characters in place of the leaving minor characters since they brilliantly used even actors in small roles as part of the big dance.
