“S M R T… I mean S M A R T”

I’m still extremely sour about having one in my cart within 30 seconds of the page going live but the checkout process just failing.

I had fun with this. It’s not perfect by any means but well worth that price. But don’t just take my word for it!

Ugh. That really sucks. I was just thinking about Gus Johnson the other day. I stopped paying attention to him several years ago but I always thought he was pretty funny. That’s such a bummer to hear. Looks like I won’t be revisiting his stuff.

Agreed. The trailer emphasizes “player created chaos”, so I wonder if they’re holding back the reveal of a level designer or something. Full 3D tracks probably wouldn’t work with that.

It’s interesting to me that this IP is still around. I remember the response to the original being completely lukewarm after some massive hype during development. Then like 2 years later there was a 2D platformer that I never heard much about. It just seems kinda random that here it is again, 7 years later. It would make more sense to me if they were all 3D platformer collect-a-thons, but each new entry is a different gameplay genre. Do people just really like the characters then?

None of that is meant to sound negative. I remember the first being a labour of love from ex Banjo Kazooie devs, so for their sake I hope these games do well.

I miss the dankchristianmemes subreddit lol

Same. I’ll take a stab at it without doing any research.

I’m guessing Clavicular is a person, perhaps an influencer. I believe the implication is that the old crone he rated as a 4/10 was a witch who cursed him to wake up without a jaw because that would be ironic given his name.

How’d I do?

Just finished it again the other day playing via Dusklight. I agree, I have a lot of complaints, but somehow it still hits pretty good. I think it feels a lot more like a direct sequel to Ocarina of Time. If I played them out of order and you told me Wind Waker came out first I wouldn’t believe you.

I have a touch of the stupid. Is the implication that the mother ate half of it, or that something else did and she continued protecting it despite it being dead?

Possibly, but there’s a weird line across his shirt too in the same place. It reminds me of a bad panorama but that wouldn’t make sense here since it’s vertical.

mfw the guest doesn’t like spicy wings

Are we going to talk about the smiley Eldritch monster in the corner or nah?

Heh heh, yeah once…

Looks like it could be pretty good. The trailer doesn’t reveal much, but it seems like they are taking a similar approach as Lies of P: a traditional but solid soulslike that sells itself on the immersion in a uniquely dark take on a classic story.

Serious question: is this as big of a deal with lesbians as it would be for gay men?

This is an ice cold take that was outdated 15 years ago, but boy am I sick of new installments in a franchise just omitting the number from the title despite not being a new continuity. It feels like a marketing choice and just really annoys me. I fully acknowledge that it is completely inconsequential, I’m just petty about it for some reason.

I am disproportionately angry about this for some reason. This has happened with several concerts I wanted to see, too. “Oh, you want tickets to an even marginally popular artist? Fuck you.” Then factor in how fucking expensive computer parts have become since all the AI shit a while back. I’m just so goddamn tired.

At least my beloved Pebble watch was resurrected.

It went on sale at 1:00 in my time zone. I had it in my cart at 1:00 and was trying to checkout before it ever hit 1:01, but all I got were errors when trying to continue to payment. Then out of stock. What a bunch of fucking bullshit. Like seriously, what the fuck else was I even supposed to do?
