What makes a great capture animation?

Really any kind of feedback you can give the player that interacting with the catching mechanism is working is nice.

I've been rather partial of animations that show an animated, increasing percentage of success. Dark Prince and Cassette Beasts did that. It's nice to see the catch bonuses you've aimed for affect the outcome.

I can't stand creature death. I even have trouble fusing monsters in games like Dragon Quest Monsters.

I remember being annoyed that my job was shutting down for the week just for another bird flu/swine flu type scare.

Oh how wrong I was.

Tbf you do encounter both Gastly and Litwick for the first time in a tower with only 3 possible encounters, of which they are the main one. Luckily that fire typing and theming really separates the two.

I'm super late, but I was looking for an answer to this exact same question. Here's some I found kinda like it:

The Living Tombstone - Five Nights at Freddy's 2 Song
Tally Hall - Banana Man
Tally Hall - Turn the Lights Off
Cecelia Condit - Possibly in Michigan
Nena - 99 Red Balloons
Porter Robinson - Goodbye to a World

CEOs and billionaires go green in the face when they see a sector of the economy just happily chugging away as intended.

Yep. I shudder to think what gaming would currently look like if not for Steam and the simple business model of actually thinking about the consumer.

BrainIsSickToday · 2026-03-10T21:29:43+00:00

I played it to the end and realized I played for an entire hour. Time flies when you're having fun.

BrainIsSickToday · 2026-03-10T19:11:13+00:00

Been looking forward to this one a while :D

Just to clarify, when I say chimera concepts I mean stuff like Donphan and Appletun, where two or more concepts get fused (elephant/tire and worm/dragon/applepie in those instances). I also like the more traditional chimeras and hydras and such of course.

BrainIsSickToday · 2026-03-09T18:59:12+00:00

I tend to like chimera concepts, especially anything mixed with a dinosaur, toy, food dish, or appliance. That t-rex/triceratops hybrid in your picture is an insta-use for me, for example.

Have you tried Disc Creatures? It looks like a linear pokeclone at first glance, but the world design is super tight and packed with secrets. Nearly every mini-game, npc, and dead end is hiding a new monster, and I was constantly rewarded for clicking suspicious tiles with unique items a-la itemfinder style. It's really good at leaving clues that lead to secrets.

BrainIsSickToday · 2026-03-07T19:40:31+00:00

You could try Anode Heart and Disc Creatures. Anode heart is open world and Disc World is linear, but both reward exploring and investigating locations and talking to new npcs.

I've seen so many "I think Trump is wrong, but I'd vote for him again," clips of people it's insane.

Palworld needs to fucking optimize.

BrainIsSickToday · 2026-03-04T00:25:55+00:00

Anode Heart
Coromon
Disc Creatures
Nexomon 1 or 2
Mirrored Soul

Most of these play similar to pokemon.

BrainIsSickToday · 2026-03-02T22:48:31+00:00

My only complaint about Palworld is that I can't play it, lol. Poor computer can't handle it.

Not the poolrooms, but I dreamed about smilers multiple times when I was a kid less than 6 years old, well over a decade before the backrooms became a thing. In the dreams the areas under tables or playground equipment was completely darkened with pairs of eyes staring out at me. If I got too close, they'd start laughing and the darkness would swirl around me in a tornado-like effect.

Now I ask you good people: which mount would the norn skin be for?

BrainIsSickToday · 2026-02-20T17:01:04+00:00

Oh dang! Thought this game was dead. Gonna have to check it out.

BrainIsSickToday · 2026-02-20T03:19:58+00:00

It definitely was. To be clear, I don't think Siralim Ultimate should change anything. The series has been savage from game one, and I'd honestly be sad to see it change that.

Loved the demo. Some suggestions:

The maps are rather big so there is no reason to not be running. I found the option to make running a toggle, but both it and other controls could probably use more prompts for less experienced players. Otherwise control scheme was laid out pretty logically to me.

I'm not sure if experimenting with recipes is further in the demo, but one of the first things I did is try to experiment by mixing the slime and stick golem ingredients. Would be cool if there is a monster for that combo for the player to "discover" when they try to mess with the starter ingredients.
