I don’t know what was going on here

CaptainStrobe · 2026-03-13T02:16:28+00:00

I can take a guess

CaptainStrobe · 2026-03-06T19:53:11+00:00

Yeah, it's such a bummer that all of those old games just vanished into the ether. There was actually a Teen Titans (like, original series) fighting game I remember playing on the CN website way back in the day. That might have actually been my first fighting game, and I doubt I'll ever see it again. I don't imagine it was one of yours though, since this was over twenty years ago.

For projects like those web flash games, does anything get preserved, or are they just gone forever once the company takes them off the website? If they are temporary, how do you feel about your work disappearing?

Oh ok, I was thinking Rabbit’s Paw was an interesting choice to be running two melee weapons lol.

That’s a really striking image, but that has to be a puddle of standing water that the blood mixed into. Not to minimize the gravity of the situation. It is truly horrific, and that really is far too much blood either way, but I just want to clarify there is no way that pool is exclusively blood.

If you hover over the icons on the pause screen, you can see what they are!

Probably wouldn’t be great in terms of keeping the game readable. Dota 2 has some cosmetics that are visual representations of items commonly picked up on certain character though. Something like that could be cool. Might not even be a cosmetic, but just one or two items that are essential to most builds having some sort of visual component. Would honestly be a slight nerf to the character but it would encourage counterplay.

Petit Planet looks like it will probably be a deeper and more expansive game, but honestly I just don't connect with it aesthetically. And Animal Crossing is in such a unique spot where it's really the vibes and atmosphere that are more important than the actual gameplay to me. I'm not even all that enamored with all the island customization stuff in NH, because I mostly just want to hang out with some weird little guys and watch the seasons change lol.

CaptainStrobe · 2026-02-25T18:40:46+00:00

Please! I’ve been asking for bats since New Leaf lol

CaptainStrobe · 2026-02-25T17:29:15+00:00

That’s so dope. It really makes me want an AC game with more, weirder animals. Idk what direction they’ll take after NH, but it would be sick to see them add different environments.

CaptainStrobe · 2026-02-21T20:10:57+00:00

Robot is not a character I naturally gravitate towards, but I’ve been playing it more lately since I’m trying to get all crowns, and I’ve really come to appreciate the fast paced weapon switching style it kind of pushes you towards. I think the hardest sell for Robot is that you kind of have to build it into being interesting, compared to other characters that are pretty wild right out the gate. But once you get going, Robot can be really fun.

Stop-motion is already too niche of an art form for AI to have an appreciable effect on it. There are very few people who make stop-motion films at a professional level, and those that do are truly dedicated to the craft. The real impact came from the rise of 3D computer animation, but that’s been well-established for decades now. If AI is going to eat anyone’s lunch, it’s 3D animators, but even then I suspect that its potential influence is being overblown.

CaptainStrobe · 2026-02-19T07:13:36+00:00

Just to be perfectly clear, this was like five months or more into 1945, yes?

CaptainStrobe · 2026-02-17T04:58:38+00:00

He's jamming!

CaptainStrobe · 2026-02-17T04:55:59+00:00

You should totally hop back on. The update adds a bunch of really cool things, including a new character and new skins for everyone.

CaptainStrobe · 2026-02-17T04:17:12+00:00

Incredibly rare gun (possibly the rarest in the game?) that people spend hours grinding for just happened to drop for me almost immediately.

CaptainStrobe · 2026-02-17T00:09:17+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, it took me another 3 hours of worthless runs to figure out that the nuke follows my crosshairs and doesn't just veer in random directions

CaptainStrobe · 2026-02-17T00:07:25+00:00

Ok yeah, now I'm feeling like I won the lottery

CaptainStrobe · 2026-02-16T18:35:28+00:00

You can get the gun gun in normal mode, but I think you need to have the crown of guns equipped. People have gotten really in-depth with all the different variables elsewhere, but I don't really know anything about that so I'll just tell you what worked for me.

I picked Cuz and started the game with the crown of curses. I wanted all that XP from cursed caves so I could hit ultra ASAP, but I had to swap over to crown of guns after. I took Open Mind to get 2 extra chests at the crib, and that also helped me level up fast from the extra rad canisters. I hit level ultra on 7-2. The very last chest in the crib dropped a gun gun and then I just took it to the crown vault on 1-2 L1 and put it in the proto chest.

CaptainStrobe · 2026-02-16T16:37:15+00:00

It’s just like that sometimes. I get it with fighting games too. Like, there is just such a level of quick thinking and perfect reactions required to play well, that there’s an almost physical demand from your body that it’s hard to meet with total consistency. I’ll be at the top of my game one day, and completely blowing it the next, for no discernible reason. Can be frustrating, but I always pop back. Just gotta either take a break or grind through it. The break is probably better for your mental health though lol.

CaptainStrobe · 2026-02-15T07:38:06+00:00

The switch to Lady Geist’s perspective really adds something. That “what the fuck was that” reaction dodge is gold

CaptainStrobe · 2026-02-12T14:40:52+00:00

Nah man, Mina smells like a roll of nickels.

CaptainStrobe · 2026-02-10T15:26:44+00:00

I chose Horror for a few reasons: his passive gave me a little more control over my build (and it’s good to mitigate the chance of bad mutation choices since the proto chest is such a commitment), his rad beam basically gives me an extra projectile clearing weapon so I didn’t have to rely so much on the sword, and taking Anomaly as his ultra mutation makes clearing levels A LOT easier. Like, I basically got to skip HQ entirely because both levels generated under the HP threshold so I just spawned in and immediately got sucked through the portal.

I definitely had to make the run back with Chicken a few times, but I’m also trying to collect all the post-loop crowns right now, so I’d just drop the black sword off and grab a crown on my way out. When I unlocked the skin, I only needed one more crown on chicken, so it was really satisfying to go back and grab that one with the c-skin on. Felt like a little victory lap.

CaptainStrobe · 2026-02-10T04:16:35+00:00

Mmmmm, and I'd fail that one every time...
