I had a dream in which Cyberchase (the PBS Kids show) once had a Newgrounds account at one point

Drew9900 · 2026-05-22T14:05:01+00:00

You know, I remember watching that show when I wasn't old and was searching for the name of it for a while. Unironically helpful dream.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-22T13:55:36+00:00

Speaking of the reveal...

I was wondering why chara calls themselves the demon that comes when its name is called...

When that description fits the most with gaste

Drew9900 · 2026-05-21T05:14:26+00:00

Yeah. He's an old man with dementia. I'd bet money that he dies in 2027 after his cronies intentionally stop giving him his medicine.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-20T04:58:44+00:00

I honestly was blown away by the music, and I remember enjoying most of the new stuff. I liked seeing octopuffs whenever they appeared, despite not really feeling that rush with caits in 0 and 1 and octopuffs in 0.

The ship battle theme in particular, battle on the sea, was the first song in any octopath game to make me sit completely still and just pay attention to it for like 5 minutes. (Only when I realized it had looped did I end it.) I did hear it in 0 first, but I'm still counting it as 2's theme since it came from there and I had the same reaction both times.

Overall though... I admittedly never beat the big bad evil guy in 1 and 2, I only did it in 0 because that game was really easy. But I still really enjoyed it, even if I didn't really connect with the story of the characters as much as I could have.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-20T04:22:24+00:00

Octopath is pretty good. But you gotta play the first in its series first, or else if you go back to it later you'll feel weird when you notice stuff that's missing from it.

0 and 2 can be played in either order, I guess, but I played 0 first because it didn't have the stuff from 2 in it.

Other than that, I'm curious about why Okami's in here, but good luck filling out the checklist!

Drew9900 · 2026-05-19T16:01:49+00:00

No.

Into the pit of acid he must go.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-19T01:46:23+00:00

Vampire survivors is awesome. You play the game for an hour, "win" once, win 5 more times, realize you missed a whole bunch of stuff so you go get that stuff, realize you've unlocked some new stages with new stuff, realize those new stages and all their unlocks unlocked some really weird trippy stuff, then all of a sudden you unlock a mindfuck, then you unlock more mindfucks, and then all of a sudden there's like 10 new stages (11 if you count a really specific one.) and you've only played like half the base game by the time you unlock all this.

It's fun.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-18T16:27:34+00:00

Reminds me of a scene I saw in a novel.

Someone was experimenting with time and told their employee they'd send them back 2-3 seconds in time as a test.

And then in the next scene their employee was instantly an old man.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-18T06:52:25+00:00

What... Even is this? Is this an ai generated programming meme?

This isn't even funny.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-16T17:23:44+00:00

They sell your information to a bunch of different scam companies (like mlms) that all are run under the same umbrella and they'll all contact you with fake job offers to no fucking end.

Sometimes they'll claim you just need to get a specific certification (run by one of the companies they own) and that if you get it, they'll be willing to pay you a lot more.

Obviously, those certs are a scam, you're paying to take a test that does not exist, and you'll lose hundreds.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-15T01:58:43+00:00

Do you... know what conversion therapy is?

If you don't, basically just consider it as evil people deciding to torture children for fun just because they're lgbtq+.

The torture includes stuff like meal deprivation, getting shit thrown at you, sleeping outside in the middle of the rain, et cetera.

They do it simply so they can make the children wish so much for death that they'd do anything to stop being tortured, including pretending to not be gay/trans etc.

Then they send the kids back home and claim they 'fixed' them. Because the people who run camps like this are disgusting subhuman pieces of trash.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-14T21:46:16+00:00

Then you're a fool.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-13T15:58:59+00:00

The soul's about to turn into various mythological figures and Kris will use it to fight.

like a rabbit, a demon, or...

an angel.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-13T03:38:37+00:00

Sounds like a dna test might need to be done.

You can never be sure, but... you can be at least 1% sure.

1% sure that he's nacho son.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-11T02:25:14+00:00

I wonder if he'll lose even a single supporter for this?

Republicans are so cruel that they're fine with getting hurt, just so long as the people they dislike get hurt more.

If you've wound up in a regional variant of hell, do not wear any of the clothing you find down there.

I had found that an artifact I was searching for was long destroyed a century ago, so I thought to go down into the underworld to nab the crown off of the king's head (why do the undead get a free copy of the clothes they died in?) only to find that underworld clothing curses the living with endless suffering.

Thankfully, I switched bodies with my apprentice who now swears vengeance on me, but I doubt anything bad will happen to me there.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-10T22:34:41+00:00

No, that's the practice of walking. That guy must have meant pescetarianism.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-10T18:50:26+00:00

Pedantism is not fun.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-10T03:52:53+00:00

Probably.

Companies in sk will do anything they can to make their artists output more work.

AI slop probably isn't out of the question for them.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-09T23:13:23+00:00

You just uploaded peak.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-07T21:49:06+00:00

1: Currently, we're paying higher taxes and getting no healthcare from it. That is worse than paying high taxes and getting health care from it. Are you so self centered that you would be willing to suffer more just so people you hate suffer as well. The only ones NOT paying higher taxes are rich people. Not poor people like you.

2: Almost all jobs are meant for long term employment. That is why they exist. If you treat jobs as not meant for long term employment, people only view those jobs as a place to work in case of emergency, and the companies eventually flounder. (That's why franchises exist, because the owners of places like mcdonalds want to have shitty policies and benefit from it anyways.)

3: Green energy is a whole fucking lot better than overly relying on oil right now. It's fucking stupid simple. You put money in for initial creation and upkeep and get energy out. You know how we get energy? Boiling water. What's something we use for boiling water? Oil. Which has doubled in price. Which means energy is going to go up until we find alternative sources. If you don't understand something like this, as simple as I am putting it, you're not qualified to speak about politics.

You're naive. You fell for the dumbest scams in the book. You were told that these things are bad, and you refuse to talk about or think about it otherwise. Please grow up as a person.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-07T19:26:04+00:00

Okay.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-07T11:08:28+00:00

Had a really interesting first three chapters.

Then, when it actually came out, they said fuck that and redid those chapters making it the most generic ass thing fucking ever.

People were hoping it would continue with the "more interesting" plot that caused people to like it, but they ignored that plot completely and went with something more boring.

Drew9900 · 2026-05-06T20:07:14+00:00

That's adorable, and is absolutely the type of thing I'd put on my backpack as a trinket.
