I think we haven’t had anything from Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina before. The artist deleted this, though, and as far as I can tell, this artist doesn’t post anywhere else. Green Man Gaming doesn’t count.

I like chess, but I can’t think that fast. At that speed, I can only do !anarchychess@sopuli.xyz : push pawns, fork things with knights, always take en passant, and try not to blunder away the queen.

Welcome to the real world.

Look, I come from fighting games and not racing games, so this actually looks OK to me. The goal is to win the race by hook or crook, and you are expected to use every means at your disposal to win. It’s dirty play, but it isn’t against the rules, and you should expect all of your serious opponents to ram you in this situation.

It’s like snaking in Mario Kart DS. It’s a weird counter-intuitive mechanic that makes you go faster by powersliding constantly, even on straightaways. If you’re playing without snaking, you’re not really playing Mario Kart DS.

You know what? I thought Wish was an OK movie. Walt Disney Animation Studios experimented with making a CG movie look and feel like their classical era, adding these flourishes that look hand-drawn. It had mixed results, but I want Disney to experiment with this more. We found out a year ago that originally Wish was going to be more daring. Star was going to be a shapeshifting humanoid Jack Frost/Peter Pan-style magical force of joy. It seems the staff didn’t want to write that kind of romance into the movie, so Star Boy got downgraded to a magical critter. What could have been, though…

Me too! My weekly stream is becoming more of a yearly stream. My work schedule doesn’t really allow for consistent streams, but maybe that’ll change soon.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, practicing the any% route so I can play it onstream soon.

That’s when I’m not distracted with !Balatro@lemm.ee on my phone.

It doesn’t sound right without that loud game start sound at the beginning. I tried to find it, but the Internet Archive is still mostly down and I don’t know where else to find the game nowadays.

This was actually created for a book called Everyday Scenes from a Parallel World, and I bought it. Sometimes I put my money where my mouth is. It’s got pretty slice-of-life art, but also this.

Hey guys! Hey guys! I just got back from my local fighting game group in 2009 and there’s this game I’ve got to show you.

DragonBlast is a pretty solid 2D indie fighting game with 3D models. Usually, the characters are muscular furries. Well, in this video, there’s a joke version called Nico Nico Fighters (ニコニコファイターズ) where all the characters are 2000s-era Japanese internet memes! I’d kill for someone to leak that build to the Internet so I can play it.

Hey guys? Guys! Oh…they left me again.

Another rare work-safe thing from a NSFW inflation artist. Mechrot is basically the only reason I still visit birdsite outside of finding sources for Floating Is Fun posts. Birdsite’s idiot CEO is funding fascism now and I don’t want them to make a dime off of me. Sometimes Mechrot uploads things to DeviantArt, so I should probably just follow that instead.
