That makes sense! I've never seen a cat look so ORANGE unless he was directly under a sunbeam. Increased reds would totally account for that, and now that you mention the greens, all of those plants are crazy vibrant too. Well composed pic!

Wow that's some crazy colouration. Did you edit this to increase the warmth, or is their fur just actually that vibrant in natural light?

I've been hearing a lot of hype around this one, everyone I've seen play it says that there's one game in here they would've considered their GotY 2024 on it's own. So here I am to see if it's the same for me- but I kinda don't like retro games?? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIUS...

D'aw, thank you so much for the shout out! I had a blast playing the demo, I can't wait to see how the final game turns out. I'm confident you'll be able to polish it up into something incredible!

Altune @alexplswhy.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

Depends on the game and how much of a buy-in I have. Usually a long RPG needs to be restarted, but something a little more arcade-y or like a shooter I'll just roll from where I was and hope I can pick it back up.

I really hate in writing discourse when someone is like, "the author really messed up with the focus of this work, they should've just done these genre tropes". People are out here making Art and some dudes are honestly mad that the same seven stories aren't being cynically rehashed year after year.

I'm a little hesitant to download an exe from a Discord server, but once it's live on Steam in two weeks time I'd be happy to give it a go on camera so you have more data on what's working. The game looks very charming and I'd like to help it be it's best self!

Getting into a long running manga or novel series feels so daunting at the start... so why do I feel dread instead of triumph when I realize I'm about to catch up...?

000

Altune @alexplswhy.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

At least the fan art requires you to be plugged in to stuff outside the game to notice. Digimon Survive spoils some stuff for you if you just observe the menus and character profiles too closely.

Number 3 and number 10 are really just management trying to train staff into being more submissive and exploitable. Your employee is agreeing to give you their precious time, that doesn't mean you own them.

Altune @alexplswhy.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Both games I'm playing now have serious gap-moe. I Am Future is a cozy game about being the last survivor of a horrible apocalypse. Digimon Survive is a mascot game about watching everybody around you fucking die. They both have the opposite of the expected tone and I love it.

I'm so deep into being a shitty boring adult that I just got a hit of dopamine seeing the garbage truck pull up, because I know my bin is completely full and it was almost a problem.

What an amazing collection of creature designs. 20+ years of playing RPGs and I can honestly say I've never seen anything like some of these. Big nozzle handed mech with the pneumatic legs is particularly awesome. I wanna see him waddling along on those lil' thangs so bad.

Seeing someone take inspiration from Eizouken always sparks joy in my heart, especially when it's from our girl Kana-money. Such a distinct look and vibe.

010

Altune @alexplswhy.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

I don't really understand why I like I Am Future as much as I do. It's mostly just a bunch of chore loops waiting for enough resources to build an incremental upgrade to your tools that allows you to clean up slightly more of your roof and OH MY GOD LOOK HOW MUCH SPACE I HAVE NOW!

Been a while since I made a "Going Live" post, but I'm very excited about the game I'm starting on today's stream, in just ten minutes! We'll be playing Digimon Survive! Ah Digimon, my comfort series, I can't wait to get attached to a whole new cast of tamers. Surely cozy awaits!

Arx Fatalis is a bundle of cool ideas held back only by the limitations of it's era. I'd love to see a modern take on it's magic and crafting systems. If the symbol recognition, enemy AI, UI design and quest guidance were just sliiiiiightly better, it'd be a top shelf rpg.

Altune @alexplswhy.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

But streaming is just Different in that regard, because sticking around is completely voluntary/not a requirement to participate in some other activity?

000

Altune @alexplswhy.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

I'm... Not sure? It just feels different from chatting in a group setting? It's like... if I'm boring or if listeners don't like what I have to say, they can just leave, so I don't feel as embarrassed yapping? When I catch myself talking too much I usually feel like I'm holding conversation hostage.

Smartphone design peaked in like 2015 and we've been going downhill ever since. Bring back removable batteries and textured backs, they're making our devices into slippery little grenades now and I hate it.

This is cute! I love the sprite set you have of them pulling themselves up on top of the box, and then the little leap off to get back down. Simple art styles lend themselves so well to detailed motion.

Like, the endgame here is DIRE. Pokemon owns throwing things to catch monsters, Monster Sanctuary owns monsters dropping eggs, SMT owns monsters asking to join you after a battle, Bandai owns giving monsters gifts to recruit them... Pretty soon there's no way to do a monster taming game.

000

Altune @alexplswhy.bsky.social · 08/11/2024

I don't give a rat's how you feel about Pokemon or Palworld. The idea of a company winning a lawsuit based on protected gameplay mechanics is bad for video games. We want MORE iteration in gaming, not less. The idea that a company can "own" a core system is bad for gamers.

Altune @alexplswhy.bsky.social · 05/11/2024

Not usually a horror game fan, because most of them live in the realm of boring stealth mechanics and cheap jump scares, but the We Harvest Shadows demo is incredible in how it builds up and pays of tension. Incredibly excited for the full experience when it launches next year.

Because they're a Japanese company and Christmas doesn't mean the same thing for them as it does for us. It's basically just a holiday for couples to them, and they're making content for MMO players, so very little conflict there...

Silly as they all are, Kamila and Lynne probably won't notice anything is up until they're like 40 and he's still going strong. And if he's with them when they pass, the radiation around him will awaken them to their own powers of the dead!
