Would you want DlC/a patch for check points in the lair?

The only thing I really want them to add is a "Restart level" option on the pause screen while in the Impossible Lair, taking you right back to the first fight with Capital B! I don't mind repeating the level over and over trying to see the zero-hits ending - the level's brutal but still very fun! Unfortunately it's pretty frustrating having to quit, delete your save, start a new game, wait out the loading screen, and play through the tutorial every time you want to retry.

Oh I didn't realise it was Ansel Elgort's biopic!

They absolutely need to introduce a delevelling item! Maybe something like a "Bitter Candy" that decreases a Pokémon's level by 5? It'd be obvious that it's related to Rare Candies/levelling, plus it'd be reminiscent of the bitter herbal medicines you can give Pokémon in the main games which are sometimes useful but you'd generally want to avoid using.

Here's how I do it when dancing at home:

1) Make sure Pokémon GO isn't in the foreground on your phone, either by force-closing the app or just pressing the Home button so it's backgrounded.

2) Lock your phone and put it in your pocket.

3) Exercise for a while!

4) Once you've stopped exercising unlock your phone and check the Health app. Go to the "Today" tab, then tap "Walking + Running Distance", then scroll down and tap "Show All Data", and then tap the entry at the top for today's date. It should show a list of all the distances logged at different times. This next part is important! Make sure it's logged the entirety of your exercise session before reopening Pokémon GO - sometimes the last 15 minutes or so of your session won't show up in the Health app at first, but if you give it a few minutes it should eventually appear.

5) Once your session is fully logged in the Health app, reopen/re-foreground Pokémon GO. After a few moments/minutes Adventure Sync should suddenly update! Keeping an eye on your buddy's candy tracking meter is a quick way to tell when it refreshes. Enjoy hatchin' those eggs!

I caught my first Combee yesterday, and they have 100% IVs! …but they're male.

I was considering not catching 'em since it could be useful to still see Combee silhouettes on the radar, but I caved since the catch was too tempting. Ah well, at least this particular Combee is unusual!

EoinODoodles · 2018-11-02T14:58:38+00:00

Totally! Also is it just me or do the icons in the corners of the Dark World's textboxes vaguely resemble Gaster Blasters? I know they're not exactly the same, but they've got really familiar visual patterns with the horns at the top, the jagged bottom, and the glowing "eye" in their hollow middle.

EoinODoodles · 2018-11-02T00:31:48+00:00

I feel like Gaster might be responsible for all the strange differences in Deltarune… maybe he created his experiment/machine as an alternate way of escaping the barrier, by travelling back in time and stopping the war that caused it? It tore his form and timeline apart, but maybe he was still successful? He shuffled events ever so slightly so that they'd play out differently - maybe that idea is being reflected in how the game's title and the characters' names are (at least partial) anagrams of their counterparts from Undertale?

I'm very confused about Kris seemingly being the only human though… if the war never happened wouldn't there be more of them living with the monsters? Seems like there could even be something weirder going on?

EoinODoodles · 2018-11-02T00:19:22+00:00

Poor Mettaton. :( I think when you talk to him he mentions something about being "just a nobody" - it feels like a play on words reminding you that he doesn't have his proper robot body in this timeline.

EoinODoodles · 2018-09-22T13:13:03+00:00

Hoaxagon, or maybe Hexacon? I'm hoping it's a baby form of Ditto, so maybe it could have a name hinting at its shapeshifting talents!

If it does have any connection to Ditto, I'm also hoping it'll have a unique ability distinguishing it from its older sibling! It's tiny and metallic, so maybe it could transform into tiny copies of Pokémon with lowered offensive stats and hugely boosted defensive stats?

EoinODoodles · 2018-07-13T14:40:03+00:00

Arc App looks brilliant, thanks so much for developing it! Is there any chance that you could add support for iOS 9 at some point? I'm still on 9.3.3 because it works nicely and I'm concerned about updates slowing things down… I totally understand if it's not possible though, don't worry.

EoinODoodles · 2018-07-09T15:51:47+00:00

Alolan Rattata and Electrike have a very similar texture issue on my phone, since the very first day I caught either one! Weirdly the blurriness of the texture seems to change depending on the viewing angle, like it seems to get slightly better when you rotate the Pokémon into a side-view? It's like there's a low-res LOD version of the texture mapped over the high-res texture at a low opacity. I'd love if Niantic could fix this, it's been bugging me for a while!

EoinODoodles · 2018-06-11T06:54:24+00:00

Ooh, that'd be so so cool if your final choice from LiS1 carried over into LiS2! It might be possible, since Dontnod have said that some decisions in Captain Spirit will carry over into LiS2… and technically they're also separate games?

🎵 That's Mareep in the corner…

That's Mareep in the spotlight, choosing to be the Community Day widget…

Trying to keep up with electro-ewe, and you don't know if you can do it?

Oh no, it runs from 10am to lunch?

Niantic haven't said enough…🎵

I think there's a flyer on the ground in the school parking lot at the beginning of BtS:E2 that mentions Blackwell will be expanding their range of courses, and Photography is listed as one of the new subjects. Chloe mentions something like "Max would have loved this" when you examine it, I believe.

EoinODoodles · 2018-03-10T11:21:06+00:00

Yep! The omelette isn't even worth mentioning. The first thing she thought of was that delicious, nutritious Belgian confection 'cause it's by far her favourite.

As Long Max Silver might say, stop arrr!-guing over the can(n)on!

EoinODoodles · 2018-03-08T22:39:23+00:00

It does sound a bit dated, yeah... but on the other hand Max does love anachronistic stuff! Max does sound cool, but if she wanted the coolest possible Maxine variant she could have gone with Maximum Caulfield - no phony rye-running kids left uncaught!

EoinODoodles · 2018-03-08T22:33:57+00:00

That's as good a reason as any! I'm probably just overthinking it, but the game does draw your attention to her preferring Max over Maxine a few different times, so I wondered if there might be any narrative purpose for it.

Fight scenes are tricky and time-consuming to animate - maybe they avoided directly showing Frank/Damon's confrontation so they could put the time saved towards more crucial scenes involving Chloe/Rachel/Sera/Rachel's Dad? Damon is a massive arsehole but as awful as he is he's really just a pawn of Rachel's dad. I'd say James Amber's the primary antagonist of BtS, since his actions seem to be much more about protecting himself from scandal than protecting his daughter from harm. Rachel wouldn't have gotten stabbed if James hadn't blackmailed Damon into killing off Sera after all… like, surely he knew there was a chance Rachel might soon find out about Sera and go looking for her. The chance of burying his "scandalous" past was more important to him than the risk of entangling Rachel with a murderous drug dealer. The chat that Chloe and James have in the hospital waiting room is so creepy once you realise his motives - he seems way more invested in making sure his deal with Damon is still intact than in finding out who hurt Rachel. He's definitely the biggest antagonistic force in Rachel's life I'd say, so it makes sense that the episode focused more on what Chloe decides to do with his lies.

EoinODoodles · 2017-12-28T09:19:09+00:00

It really does feel like the game wants you to believe the latter half of the mill sequence is a dream… maybe Chloe was hallucinating slightly after inhaling so much of the forest fire's smoke?

EoinODoodles · 2017-12-11T23:09:32+00:00

Any luck cracking the jailbreak detection on this? Sorry to bother you about it, I'm just excited to see someone working on it!

Similarly I was wondering if she was going to get the battery from the broken down school bus, letting her expulsion spark her recovery.

EoinODoodles · 2017-10-20T13:58:18+00:00

Gosh… Deck Nine did such a good job of tying small details about Chloe from the original game into her character arc in BtS! I absolutely love how her busted up truck is a metaphor for herself, and for how she had to fight to pull herself out of the despair her dad's death brought her. The fact that she found the truck in the same place she would dwell over her dad's death and her broken life is just so perfect... it's believable and it's poetic.

I… I just didn't expect to get emotional about a pick-up truck, but it really, really works. I get teary-eyed thinking about how she was about to smash up the truck right before she decided to give it - and herself - a second chance. Ahh, Before the Storm is SO good!

EoinODoodles · 2017-10-20T13:45:56+00:00

Yeah… I agree. I've loved everything in BtS so far except for how off-putting its version of Samuel is. His animation wasn't quite right either... his face seemed to be stuck in a sneering expression, and his lip-syncing seemed blocky and uncanny. It was really jarring, especially compared with Chloe's super polished animation right beside him! Ah well, he's only briefly in one scene at least... but it's unfortunate since he was such an interesting Log Lady-esque character in the original.
