Peglin (Steam, iOS, Android, Switch)

Just released 1.0 a month ago. Simple enough gameplay loop. Throw orbs at pegs on board to fight enemies. Go down different paths on a map until you reach the boss fight at the bottom, upgrading and getting new orbs and relics along the way to help. Repeat 2 more times and you win. Has 20 levels of increasing difficulty after beating your first run, but locked behind standard progression.

Dungoens and Degenerate Gamblers (Steam)

Released beginning of last month. Play Blackjack against opponents, but you each have a life bar. Score higher than opponent to deal damage equal to the difference in your scores to them. Various non-playing cards and other nonsensical cards will appear as playable cards. Things like a get well soon card, SD card, a flat out 21 card, a birthday card, and many more can be found. Go until you either lose all your health or beat the final boss on one of two different routes to be taken.

Desktop:

Windows. Got the thing a few years ago and didn’t bother installing Linux since I was still new to it and didn’t have the drive to learn enough about Linux to go through with it. Haven’t done it now because I’m probably upgrading in less than a year and no point since I can just use it for experimenting with server stuff.

Laptop:

My last couple laptops have ended up with Linux on it. On my absolutely shitty pawnshop laptop I broke something in windows, making it so I couldn’t do a lot of admin things since there was technically no admit account. Didn’t feel like paying for a fresh installation on the shitty thing, so I instead switched it to Ubuntu, which I had in a thumb drive because I was trying to follow a guide telling me how to fix my windows issue, which didn’t work at all.

My current store bought laptop runs a Debian fork that I wanted to try, MX. I quickly ran through the win11 setup process before removing that bloatware OS off it. Now I have things set up in a way that works just right for me, despite not being able to figure out why the headphone jack has a problem where it’ll only play very staticy, very low volume sound at max volume depending on how loud the original audio is. I’ve given up on that, though, because I’m not smart enough to figure it out and have already switched to a wireless bluetooth set that works.

The funny thing is I just installed the Proton Pass deb on my laptop in the middle of English class. Don’t have much experience with it, but from what little experience I have, it is fine enough for me since I don’t need anything super fancy.

Never gonna happen because I’m white and look absolutely nothing like him, but I wouldn’t mind having Jam Hsiao play me. Don’t know if he’s done more than Green Door on Netflix, but I’d still absolutely enjoy it.

Though, if it was animated, I’d want kid me voiced by Cree Summer because she is my all time favorite voice actor/actress.

Outside of home, no. At home? Just my room where I can relax and snuggle with my stuffed animals on my bed.

Don’t know about gb/gba titles, but for PS1 there’s Devil Dice. Probably might get a little repetitive after a while, though.

I personally don’t mind them, but I personally think the best kinds of random encounters are ones like pokemon randomizers where you step in the grass in a modded gen 3 game with every single pokemon in existence in it and it randomly pulls from the list of 1000+ mons in order to give you a feeling of true randomness in team building. Especially since you aren’t able to predict which creatures you will get.

Having a random table containing only a few different encounters isn’t anywhere near as fun and exciting as randomly having gods spawn as your enemy as a beginner in a randomized game followed by the weakest creatures in the game a moment later.

Sadly reaching the end of Pokemon Unbreakable Ties beta 4.

Also ended up downloading Frogatto recently because I’ve heard some good things about it and so far a couple levels in it’s fun enough. Not fun enough that I’d be giving it glowing reviews across the board, but fun enough to play on occasion.

I wish I knew my first ever Dead Money playthrough that I could spare Dean. Didn’t know that he’d get pissed off if you pass any skill checks with him. I was kinda surprised when he wanted to kill me because I clearly didn’t pick up on him wanting me dead.

The only time I actually care is if it’s an indie game. If I like it enough I’ll buy it because I’m all for paying indie devs.

It’ll be hard to see that when their vision will be blocked by stacks of yen.

The problem is they’re such a large and recognizable company that they could probably switch to making and selling malware and everyone would still buy it without thinking twice. Humanity is full of idiots.

It can definitely work if you’ve trained it right. It’s how I discovered many of my now favorite vocaloid/utau/deepvocal/whatever songs, amongst other groups outside of that vocal synth genre. It definitely isn’t doing me super dirty in the music department.

In a way, this sounds similar to someone using a DiffSinger or ENUNU voicebank to make music, but without having to write all the lyrics word/syllable for word/syllable on individual notes and change the notes they’re on individually because you pitched them wrong. Also without the backing track too.

Either way, interesting enough that you can even do this kinda stuff. Especially since any time I’ve played around with that kind of AI, it’s always never turned out even remotely halfway decent in any way.

Any sort of jokes about hoarding toilet paper or anything else ridiculous during the pandemic. I’ve always thought they were already cringe to begin with, but I assume that if society doesn’t completely collapse before the 2030s that people will hopefully look back and call those cringe.

I don’t believe it’s cursed at all, but my parents and older brother believe some small Japanese statue doll thing of a geisha (supposed to be holding a shamisen, but it’s missing) that they ended up giving to me to store in my room is cursed. Since I don’t think it’s cursed, I have no issue holding onto it.

Showed up one day on the dinner table one day and I’m fairly certain my brother got it and was either too drunk or high on weed (or a combo of both) to remember picking it up while he was out. I don’t believe him when he says he doesn’t know where it came from.

Nobody is calling either game GOATs, but I personally really like Sonic Riders Zero Gravity and Cartoon Network Racing.

Either that, or they got enough refurbished ones to sell. Either way, a great device either LCD or OLED.

This is one of the absolute greatest reasons to support opening most everything in a new tab (as long as you don’t end up like my mom who at one point had over 100 tabs on her phone). Doesn’t matter if it’s a link from the same website, from a search engine, or whatever else there is. New tab.

Definitely gonna start looking there.
