[Shenzhen IO] > Your solution sucks ass. Is that OK?

The results graph in Shenzhen IO. My solution has a cost of 20 yuan (mode is 11), power usage of 907 (mode is about 800), and 34 lines of code (mode is about 25)

[Technomage] Love how judgemental this sounds

LOOK at these tasty nuggets. These make a satisfying sound when you collect them so they're extra good

[DQMJ2] I fuckin love snail slimes. They're so shaped I'm sad that I haven't seen them in any games outside the Monsters ones, as far as I can tell

A screenshot of Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2. I'm fighting some snail slimes! They're slimes with a spirally snail shell and they have the classic doofy slime smile, but even more dopey.

[DQMJ2] The game just gifted me a great argon lizard that's just called gr. What the heck. Like I didn't catch this, this is a reward for having caught a lot of species and it's just called gr

The great argon lizard is called gr. Lowercase g, lowercase r.

I wanted to make some changes to my design but I don't have the energy for a new drawing, so I made some edits to the existing one!

It's me! An anthro brown-furred goat in a white shirt and grey skirt. I have a strand of long dyed hair running down to my shoulder, and my left hand and right foot are dark brown sockpaws.

[Nioh] This is SUCH a mood whiplash. I felt like I was playing Dark Souls and suddenly I feel like I'm playing Monster Hunter. What the heck

This game's writing is REALLY bad but like, in a fascinating way sometimes

The reason why us goats aren't usually allowed to have canines is that otherwise we'd be doing this all day

A sketch of me, an anthro goat! I'm biting one of my long ears.

Ma'am I don't think that's a closet

The dialogue box says "For a closet, it sure feels drafty", but I'm interacting with the bed

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be bundled with the RTP, so it won't work for people who don't have RM2k3 installed, I think! I would install it myself but it's not as easy using Wine.

A Wine error box: "RPG Maker 2003 RTP is not found."

I don't think it came out all that good but: here's a sketch of Willow from @studio.bugsaretasty.dev 's Catamyst!

Oh yeah I relate. I bought this Platinum guide as an adult so I didn't do that with this but I DID totally do that with these PSX magazine things I somehow got my paws on

Two Spanish magazines with guides for a bunch of PSX games, ranging from well known like Tomb Raider or Spyro, to fucking. Technomage

Okay I got the platinum Yeah I'm pretty sure Youmu's stage is my favourite, I LOVE the way it uses the actual mechanics of Touhou 7 in a way that also matches the music. So clever
