    It's a single person designed 16bit inspired jrpg. Biggest inspiration is Earthbound.


    I only played for an hour but it's already nicely written, and it has a very unique take on classes and abilities.
    You play as a kid with Imagination powers. Basically you learn to mimic some enemies as you encounter them. Your big brother has bully powers.

    It has a certain dreamlike quality to it.

    I get nervous for a Japanese game with "pulsating mass" in the title.

    Is there a different rule number (instead of #34) for "if there isn't an adult patch for the game, there will be the next time you look"?

    Changing tack:

    I finally tried out Everspace over the weekend, and this will probably be my new chill-out game during the week. Also the FTL feels are real(!).

    I still haven't made it to/through a jump gate (end of a sector) successfully, but I'm enjoying how this is playing out. I also haven't made good sense of the right way to upgrade the ship/perks this early in the game, so there will be a lot of poking and prodding blindly until something feels good (hey, it's 11th grade all over again....). Beginner guides don't really help.

    The key point is I'm having fun.

    It's been so long since I've had a spacesim that's actually done well, I may have to (finally) install Elite: Dangerous for longer form content.

    It's 2007 again and all I can do is mod Oblivion, think about modding Oblivion, talk about modding Oblivion, and occasionally actually play Oblivion.


    (PS: This game, modded up, still looks really freaking good. Especially for its age.)

    I finished another game! Injustice: Gods Among Us was pretty sweet. I suck at fighting games, so I only played it on easy. But, as a superhero fan, the game was just beautiful! The models were fantastic, the moves looked great, especially the ultimate moves! Not only that, the story was actually quite good! I'll have to go back from time to time just to see the ultimate moves. Thanks again to @akajaybay for the game!

    I'm so disappointed in the mess of pricing structure Injustice 2 came with.

    This was made in the US, but it's heavily reliant on jrpgs so I went with that for the description. (I did doubt wether to call it that....)

    That reminds me that I need to pick up my Oblivion playthrough. Mine was modded to the point my reasonably modern system with a 970 could just barely play it comfortably. Unfortunately, when the spectre/meltdown patches came out Oblivion was pushed past the comfortable point. I suppose I'll have to try demodding it before trying again.

    At one point over the weekend, I was getting 15 fps in places... with a 1080. I may have modded it to the very edge of breaking... :lol:

    (actually, I'm pretty sure the fps issues have way more to do with pushing the game engine to its absolute limit than any actual strain on my hardware)

    So I'm still playing Final Fantasy 14, but the plan it to put that back on hiatus shortly, I may try and juggle it in the background but I've never been good at that. There's some PS4 games I want to play in the next couple weeks. Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Spider-Man. Plus I'm still sitting on an unplayed Banner Saga 3 for Steam.
    My plate is more than full.

    But I just learned that this is a thing that exists and it's out real soon. On Steam as well.

    At this point, I'm holding Battle Royale games to the same standard I hold Minecraft-likes: I promise not to roll my eyes if you can do something interesting with the concept.

    They are not. And hearing it's from the Depth devs just makes me sad. I found the game listing earlier today and was making fun of it in chat.

    On the other hand, this looks adorably charming.

    Oh? Hmm, I'll need to look into it myself. I'd eventually be interested in 2 seeing how enjoyable 1 was.

    the real ending...
    When the darkness said, "IT DECEIVES YOU" I thought to myself who else is in here....

    I was worried about how the character creator work in a first person game, but it's good to see you still get to see your character in cut scenes.

    I'm light years away from playing it, but I would find it hilarious to play a character looking like Maisie Williams with a list of dead enemies almost as long as her list of lovers.

    Hoi boys and girls. I got my next Twitch Bounty, it's for Battletech. It's been a game that I was looking forward to but just sort of forgot about as release got closer and closer. I know it's popular around these parts because MECHS. As far as I know, I believe you can create your own team of mechs, so I'd like volunteers from the thread and I'll try to do my best to recreate the mechs based on avatar palette and style if customization allows.

    If you'd care to watch my bounty stream, I'll be going live around 5PM EST. Thanks, friendos. <3

    I feel like it should be a requirement that everyone's mechs be colored following the PA color scheme.
