When I saw that the remake of Trails in the Sky would have a costume option I thought I would never use it. Usually I don't use those in games as they always feel too silly and out of character for me. But then I started putting Kitty Ears and Tail on Estelle […] [Original post on gamepad.club]

A screenshot of the remake of Trails in the Sky.

Estelle, Joshua and Kloe are on the second floor of a shop talking to a man in a labcoat called Karl.

Estelle is wearing clearly fake orange cat ears and Joshua fake black cat ears. Kloe is wearing glasses with blue rims and a dinner outfit that is white and black.

Their facial expression is that they just talked about something awkward.

The man in the labcoat is called Karl and he says "Hah... Ha, I-I see..."

There are times while playing House Flipper Remastered that a job makes me go "What the heck?!?" and amuse me at the same time. This was one of those times. #HouseFlipperRemastered #VideoGames

Screenshot of a fancy dinner table made out of dark wood with some white plates on it. There are napkin holders in the shape of a vampires teeth with some red napkins.

The walls look like they have some fancy dark wood paneling on them and the table is surrounded by fancy wooden chair with red couching. There is also a candle stick with some unlit candles on top of the table.

My Steam Replay for this year. It is pretty much what I expected: Visual Novels, JRPGs and No Man's Sky. I am surprised 30% of the games I played were released this year though. I guess I am getting slightly better at playing games as soon as I buy them […] [Original post on gamepad.club]

A rectangular building made of stone on a planet with some orange-ish grass.

It has some walls on the exterior part surrounding an empty area where some big green balls (the curious deposit) are located.

On top of the building there is something that looks like a radar antenna, a pirate flag and some solar panels that rotate according to the sun's position.

To the side of the building, on the exterior, there is a spaceship stationed on a black landing pad.

A picture of the interior of the building. The walls are made of beige stone. There are a couple of black leather couches with a red rug in the middle and a round table between them. On top of the table it looks like it has a fancy copperyl bottle.

On the background there is a window with a wooden counter under it. On top of the counter there are various nick knacks.

To the right of the window there is wall rack with some guns on it. Below the wall rack is a white counter with some drawers on it.

To the right of the wall rack are a couple of futuristic grey metal safes that go from the floor up to the ceiling.

Another picture from a different angle. Again there are couple of couches with black leather and a rug in the middle. Between the couches there is a round wooden table with a coperish bottle on top of it.

On the background, near a beige stone wall, there is No Man's Sky base computer and a save computer near it. On the wall there is a black poster with an red outline of an astronaut outfit with a yellow skull.

Near them is a circular futuristic sales terminal, a futuristic first aid station and a another futuristic looking yellow device.

After that is portal that looks like a big metal circle with some blue swirling lights inside it.

On the other wall there is a window with a long wooden countertop with lots of nick knacks on top of it.

Another corner of the interior. The walls are made of beige stone.

This one shows a industrial-looking small furnace. Near it there are what looks like of a couple of some futuristic containers. Those are No Man's Sky medium refineries.

On the other wall is a brown door. Near the door are some shelves with a bunch of nick knacks and on the floor near the shelf is a metallic box.
