What are you thinking about right now?



I leave for work again at 5 AM tomorrow morning. Switching job sites is kind of exciting but fuck, I do not want to do a three week shift.

The gam mak starts soon. Soon. Practically the only thing keeping me through this stuff.

You know what turns me off? When I click "images" on a gameprofile and see a bunch of RTP-looking green.

I the same feeling whenever I see generic fantasy/animu bullshit. In fact, those things and bad RTP are usually found in exactly the same place.

I feel you, man. We're getting unusually good weather out here (that is to say it isn't snow + wind). What makes it hurt all the more is that come Wednesday morning I'll be on a plane heading towards fucking Alberta.

You can never escape the cold.

booze is good for a cold, right

Booze is good for all problems

We've cracked 2 million downloads threshold :o

Pom must've helped quite a bit- not like I really need to say it.

ITT: We take things way too seriously

Toilet overflows, flooding on three floors, electrical and water damage, visit from the fire department. Good morning so far.

I actually did get pretty soggy.

I just make my own battle backgrounds. Also, I could 1up Mr D in the creepy avatar department easily (while remaining SFW) but I'll spare everyone the agony of seeing the skimpy swimsuit shit that I have.

I like it! Nice and simple. You are still going to have a walkable world map though, right? Instead of going for a screen that just shows locations and paths with this as the backdrop. I would hope so, anyways. A lot of RPGs that don't take place over the whole world seem to take the route of dropping the map screen.

By the by, what did you use to make this? Just photoshop? I've been having some trouble updating the world map for Neo Lescia for a while now- every time I try to redraw it I end up ruining the shape of the continents or misplacing them. If I could put together something like this I might be able to build upon what I already have laid out a little better.

The 'NO FUTURE' attack from the final boss of T260G's plot of SaGa Frontier is infinitely more intimidating than FF7's Super Nova. Youtube it and check it out. It's an interesting case study on subtle vs. flashy in presentation in games.

FF7 has a pretty crud final boss anyways. Bizarro Seph is cool but the One Winged Angel thing always felt phoned in to me. If I had the time to sit down and think about it I could probably find tons of cases where a final boss was way scarier because of what it could do.
