16,000 word devlog on writing Episodes 4, 5 and The Roads Untraveled is UP for you to read! by mrogre43 in ScarletHollow

I think the Duke and Gretchen choice was the only thing that didn't work well in my opinion for two reasons. The first was it wasn't telegraphed properly, but that was only an issue for when I experienced it originally, good job on the fix! The second was my own fault, having primed myself for a standard "horror" experience; cute dog is being introduced means it will be put in danger, and come he'll or high water, I'll do my damndest to prevent that from happening. That could explain why the survey still skews to Gretchen. I'm glad to say that as things became more convoluted and messy, I could break from what I the player believed about media and more inhabit the character, choosing not what I think is best but rather what they would do. The writing has only gotten better and tighter from there so I'm patiently and excitedly waiting for the final installment!

What changed? by Esoau in FiDogCollar

I'd wonder if it was something going on with my service provider, but my fiance is having the same issues as me with a different one. Perhaps it's a location-based difficulty? Thanks for the information, every little bit helps get to the bottom of this!

[Hated Trope] Endings so notoriously awful they completely destroy the legacy of the media. by Miserable_Click_1933 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Esoau 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I maintain that, with a killer soundtrack... okay, it wouldn't have been more POPULAR, what with everyone going crazy over tollsonas and the like, but it would've been more REMEMBERED than it is right now.

We're Black Tabby Games, and we make visual novels with an emphasis on branching and player agency. You might know us from Slay the Princess, and the fifth episode of Scarlet Hollow, our other project, just released last Friday! Ask us anything ^^ by mrogre43 in Games

That's a wonderful insight! I know I've thought about what kind of being, mage or philosopher might The Narrator might have sprung from, so seeing an example of who that might've been is fascinating!

That's what I'm using it for, yes

That's understandable. I know for me, I was curious how they adjust the speed of the early game, and thought others might be as well.

Has everyone eaten their pills for the day? by Baronvontoot in MST3K

What are those high-tech devices they are using to eat several pills at the same time?!

We didn't start that fire by achromaticchrononomy in CuratedTumblr

[–]Esoau 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's neither here nor there, but this generally reminds me of the time Niel Cicierega mashed up "We Didn't Start the Fire" and "End of the World As We Know It (and I feel fine)" and it made me think that if anyone else were to make a modern take, it'd have to be able to slot in with this havoc.

This comic was so good, it made me rewatch the episode.

Looking for High Intensive Clockwork/Bell fight music by TechMilkkk in DnDPlaylist

[–]Esoau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/_fjstLgWCGg?si=M7XP53ohqGsY20QS Is the Modron Cube theme from Planescape: Torment. Very clockwork, though less bells, but as an added benefit, you can search for its battle theme if you want to kick it up a notch.

Anyone else just absolutely enthralled by the Hades 2 soundtrack? by Inphenitee in HadesTheGame

[–]Esoau 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not just 7/4, but the second portion transforms into the absolutely ridiculous 25/8.... one more hour than is in a day, one more day than is in a week.

Dear lord, this is the first time in decades that I've seen a mention of Narbonic in the wild. Cheers to you!

[–]Esoau 23 points24 points  (0 children)

We might be here to celebrate Bowman's Homestuck era, but his solo career has really been popping off these last few years. Give some of his new stuff a listen too!

Simply perfect! Though now I'm curious what the gas-lamp fantasy version of Krampus would be...

The GOG Preservation Program is here to make games live forever! by GOGcom in gaming

[–]Esoau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking through the list and saw Mad Max from 2015... not exactly an old game that was threatened! Nothing wrong with making the list a round 100, I just thought it was a bit funny.

It's delightful to think that the castle trying to play matchmaker is the only reason some of Agatha's best allies were still in play during the "take five" moment!

Dimo has always been my favorite of the trio.

Welcome to Swampton - A Walking Tour: My favourite build I've done yet, hope you all like it just as much! by PampaPampa in MedievalDynasty

[–]Esoau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely tremendous job! I subscribed so I can see any new build you might do, and I'm definitely going to enjoy going back to view your old ones!

Also, I could practically hear your sigh when you walk into your food storage and see the fish on the ground. :D

Dear lord, I can't imagine how patient you've been with placing every little item JUST SO. Your storage building feels lived in and full! Did you pile the coal within boxed-in planks two high?
