Replayed Undertale... It's a product of its time. In comparison to Deltarune I think it's better handled when it comes to ACTing where you have to figure out the monster's personality for sparing it. In Deltarune it's more straight-forward. Otherwise everything feels more basic and empty in Undertale. It's the first game, I get it and I don't hold that against the game. It's quite the miracle it got so successful.

I don't know what the hell Patreon is doing but I am absolutely ready to quit over it

I used a save file editor for Deltarune because I accidentally gave the TV to someone in chapter 4 instead of bringing it to school. I have no time to replay two chapters because of a brainfart.

"Played" Dispatch. I mean it is more of a watch than a play. I feel I would have been ripped off if I paid full price. Better: I paid nothing and used Amazon's Luna gaming streaming service as a prime user. It's a bad game but a good show.

@adiwan I got it as a gift, so I have no cost/value analysis on it, but I really enjoyed Dispatch. Definitely, it's more "interactive fiction" than game, but I did enjoy the actual dispatch parts of it (and would frankly appreciate something like a standalone maybe roguelike kind of side project focusing just on that)
-
@scribus Yeah. The actual "game" part is rather basic. It's similarly complex as the cabaret club mini game in Yakuza 0 and Yakuza 2. As a mini game it's fine for what it is, however for the main course it's severely lacking in depth in my opinion. Yeah. I got you. It could be fun as a resource management game to dispatch heroes according their strengths but this ain't it. For that I expect to assemble my own team and recruit more heroes and shuffle my team according to the current villains terrorizing the city. Also the hacking was rather meh. I get why it exists, as Robert sits at the PC with his Mecha Man experience. Hacking mini games were never done right as far as I know.

Animating a teenage girl snorting coke got me very motivated to make stupid little cartoons again. I can’t fight it folks, I think I gotta embrace the edge

Wanted to buy lavender seeds because they are great for bees. I want to make them come often to pollinate my tomatoes. However it's disgusting to see how many seed seller are using AI images for their product "shots" and other promo material on the shop/article pages.

I couldn't be bothered enough. I got really far on that fight. I edited my save file and gave me 1000 more hp and it was plenty enough to beat it. If I died in the end again I'd flipped out. Only two attack patters were insane.

The hidden boss in Deltarune Chapter 5 is kicking my ass. It is fiercely difficult. Not impossible. While frustrating it is an apt challenge. In contrast this fight is less punishing than any fight in Mina The Hollower. I can almost immediately begin the fight anew instead of backtracking and gathering resources with the risk of losing all of it, including the time.

My D&D group is getting old. We talk more than we play and the time between sessions are getting long. The last three sessions were HALF A DAY in game.

It's not the same online as in person, but the Amoeba Music experience still totally entails going in to get a copy of RoboCop on DVD, and walking out with that plus an Alice Cooper live bootleg. Except instead of walking I'm waiting on shipping. And I didn't even get around to browsing for Jandek.

Chapter 2 finished. It took me 10 tries to defeat Spampton Neo. I had to gather as many heal items as possible because some attack patterns were overwhelming me more than they should. I literally did the last bit of mercy with only a few hitpoints left.

Yay... I broke my fan. More specific: the plug. I stumbled over the cable and the metal contacts of the plug broke off. At least the repair is easily possible. Just ordered a bunch of replacement plugs. Who knows what I break next?

On the other hand I have played so many garbage tier DOS games, I cannot comprehend how I had *fun* with them. For example I had this stupid Tom & Jerry "game" https://archive.org/details/msdos_Tom__Jerry_Cat-astrophe_1990 .

If "Backlog" were a game . . . hell I still probably won't have the high score lol

@scribus My backlog is so big I would need to go into retirement now in order to play them all before my death.

I gave in and bought DELTARUNE. The Spampton Neo fight in chapter 2 is impossibly hard.

"Maniac Mansion" had a better point-and-click interface on the NES, which didn't even have a point-and-click peripheral available!!
about 11 days ago from web-
@scribus I liked the Simon The Sorcerer 2 interface the best for Point & Click adventures. It's slightly sleeker than Monkey Island 2 with icons instead of words. I don't like MI3 or Full Throttle's "coin" nor Sam & Max's where the functions have to be cycled through with the right click. Maniac Mansion 1 is definitely the worst with too many verbs and too much tiny text.
-
@adiwan Yeah, "Day of the Tentacle" did a really good job cutting the verbs way down without losing any functionality, and those others I unfortunately have not yet taken the time or had the opportunity to experience.
