Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Kid Icarus Uprising

I will not address the elephant in the list

FAFO and cosmic holes were obviously bad but I downloaded them for fun. sadly FAFO wasn't even funny bad, just ai art and lots of boring words. cosmic holes was UE5 portal, but I don't know if the dialogue was funny because it was russian. it was janky and I managed to softlock myself

it was pretty fun, but also a little simple, so it'll be interesting to see where it goes in the full product. as for the other games in the list I didn't mention, they were mostly fine but just didn't really hook me for whatever reason, but might still be worth checking out when they're done.

future knight is a very... unique game that is stylized to look like an old LCD game, not quite sure what I think about it but it's definitely memorable. and goblin village plays like classic doom, but you're grabbing items to throw at a goblin fighter to keep him going while he fights adventurers

bombun is another 3d platformer with a focus on reaching a goal quickly but has 3d bombs like bomberman 64, cursechapter: dawnthief was a 2d platformer with some fun movement, minishoot' adventures is "what if zelda 1 was a twinstick shooter", and under the island was a more traditional 2d zelda

alabaster dawn is an action/adventure a la lttp with combos, upgrades and good art. blast cats is a 3d platformer with a ton of variety (I spent 90+ minutes in the demo and didn't do everything!), and schrodinger's call and inquisitor shepherd were very different but very visually striking VNs

the ones that stood out the most were alabaster dawn, blast cats, inquisitor shepherd and schrodinger's call. bombun, curse chapter: dawnthief, minishoot' adventures, and under the island were also p good. future knight and I won't let you level up in my goblin town were very unique and interesting

finally finished all the next fest demos that caught my eye. initially I didn't have a lot, but I went through the list again a few days later after things had more time to float to the top and looked at some threads. I think some of these aren't exactly "next fest" demos but they're in here anyway

I have done the research, these are the 9 best video game names
🥇 Blomby Car
🥈 Kickle Cubicle
🥉 Bumpy Trot
4️⃣ Tinkle Pit
5️⃣ Bubble Bobble
6️⃣ Kiki Kaikai
7️⃣ Libble Rabble
8️⃣ Plump Pop
9️⃣ Chack'n Pop

Yeah I assume it’s more like “the Japanese company that owns food fight just learned dailymotion exists”

Woke up to two copyright claim emails… from dailymotion? Apparently I had uploaded the 9 episodes of food fight @clydemandelin.bsky.social translated and they finally noticed nearly 20 years later…

gfdi turns out apparently my phone was set to use my email as the sender when I start an imessage conversation, so suddenly I'm talking to a new guy about work with my fucking starmen email and he's very confused

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony
It's funny how much of a jump in quality there is between 1&2 and v3. I wasn't a huge fan of the ending back in the day, but I've softened on it a bit over the years. Still really like the rest of it though
(he bailed on 3 after a couple eps lmao)

The only thing I’ll give it is splatoon worked better on the Wii U being able to easily see all the ink all the time and jump to allies with a tap

Also the better tick rate but that has nothing to do with the Wii U itself and more just ninty never making good decisions when it comes to online

It’s real good and so fucking long for a demo. Any game soundtrack with some delay lama can’t be bad

what's that? it sounds like someone with less score is trying to speak to me, but I just can't hear anything from how far ahead I am..........

poki decided to put every course into one big round, so after 27 holes of golf, I am the king of golf

Yeah I could get an Amex card through my investment account with Schwab, but it’s easier to pay things off when it’s right there in the bank app when I deposit my checks. And I am lazy

and she's just like "yeah you don't have enough credit to get the good offers, they want at least 3 lines of credit with several years of use on them. have you heard of a secured loan?" wtf, why do I have to jump through all these hoops all of a sudden for this shit!!!!

but I realized I didn't have any points/cashback so I tried to figure out what happened and it turns out I've been given a "credit building" card with 0 incentives attached despite having had my old cc for years and a monthly fico score just below 800. so I scheduled an appointment with the new bank

I changed banks a while ago because wells fargo is a greedy evil company, and I opened a cc with the new bank so I could keep doing what I've been doing: putting everything on the cc and then paying it off every week so I get the cashback but not pay interest

Lady, go dive-a
