[Poll] Spoopy Skeletons and Wicked Witches

If I take part in enough revival events I might actually finish a project!

Swap in the Middle with Two

That sounds 100% working as designed and clearly should be left in the game

Delays Again

Get better soon!

[Poll] How do you pronounce kentona?

That's exactly what I'm talking about! Who wants to say "Red ex eye eye eye", just cut the eyes and go "Red ex"!

[Poll] How do you pronounce kentona?

Pianot. The 'm' is silly and rightly ignored.

[Poll] How do you pronounce kentona?

Saying full names takes too long so I roll with "Kent"

What are you thinking about right now?

DW2 is rude. The entire endgame (Road to Rohne to Hargon's Castle) is the RPG equivalent to act 6 of Ninja Gaiden except any death takes you back to 6-1 like if you died to a final boss. Instant death, high power attacks, final boss cna fully heal itself, and big slogs of dungeons with few healing means (2nd character gets a revive spell and you can only carry one Leaf of Yggdrasil at a time, the only other revive item). I think the strongest non-cursed sword was in the Road to Rhone dungeon and you have to fall in a random hole to find it I think. Thank god the dude in the Rhone monument revives you, he only restored HP in the JP version (also password saves, oh god)

The Cutting Room Floor comments that the original JP release got postponed a bit because it was initially even harder but doesn't cite a source for that.

I heard the later releases fixed more things. The 2nd character has more equipment choices so they can contribute more in combat, late game enemies aren't as awful, stuff like that. Or save state. Or gitgud and beat the game anyways in sub 2 hours 30 minutes. (NESCardinality is fun and good to watch)


Also I remember Descent from the demo disk days. Too many degrees of movement gave me a headache, I settled for replaying the first stage of Crusader No Remorse instead.

What are you thinking about right now?

I had that! Trying to play FF7 on my old Windows 95 computer, 120 Mhz with turbo I think. It didn't run at full speed and the squat minigame was impossible for lil'me (I'll blame how slow the game was) but I made it all the way to the northern crater on disk 2... until the game froze in the FMV where Cloud gives Sephiroth the black materia. I could never get past that point until later when I got a PS1 and FF7 and actually played the game at full speed. Also it sounded way better on the PS1. I remember installing the Yamaha soundfont that game with the game so the PC midis would sound better/more accurate, but it screwed up all the other midis and how they sound.

What are you thinking about right now?

I am thinking aloud about how Nike, through various subsidiaries, manufactures 99.5% of seat belts. Just... thinking aloud. That's all! What people do with that knowledge is not my responsibility!

(I actually don't know if popehat is correct on this but it's funny)

Nintendo SHUTS DOWN RPG Maker's POKEMON fan game ecosystem!

IANAL but I'm pretty sure you can't lose a copyright due to lack of enforcement. What y'all are thinking of are trademarks which can be rescinded by lack of defense. However the damages of breaking copyright can be affected by lack of defense, but it's usually judges sniffing out bad faith cases from what I've heard.

With that pedantic correction complete, GRS away~ *jumps down flight of stairs*
