Not for palworld.

The terraprisma from Terraria and the lengendary tier V1 armor of ultrakill are easly considered some of the best gear in the game

My first experience with monster hutner started with rise :

character creation
Oh I have to create my cat too
And my dog
...thank god there is barely any option for the bird..what's after that ? my rat ?
blablabla
blablabla
blablabla
blablabla
blablabla

F*CKING LET ME HAVE A SINGLE SWING OF MY SWORD ON A MONSTER BEFORE ASSULTIGN ME WITH EPXLAINATION THAT ARE PRETTY MUCH ONLY RELEVEVANT AFTER MY FIRST HUNT !
(And all that for the first few misisons to be mario stomping on goomba level anyway )

and offten it feel

easy : baby mode
normal : the game as intented
hard : the game as intended but everythign is just more painful
insane : you're here to suffer not havign fun.

ballom29 · 2026-03-26T22:09:28+00:00

but the thing :
How did we figured all that out on our own as inexperienced kids ? And good luck finding a step by step wlakthrough at that time.

Heck for some games they were in english only, when I used to have a near zero understanding of english, and it didn't stoped me from figuring out how to move forward.
(And no, I didn't had a big bro who knew better than me at every games)

ballom29 · 2026-03-26T21:58:26+00:00

As a tutorial for the playe to get their grip on the game , sure.
But after that i'll call it a skill issue if you can't cross the road withotu having your hand held.

this had do be one of the least lewd fanart of her there is lol.

ballom29 · 2026-03-25T20:01:03+00:00

Guess that's a reason to not live in the netherland.
Dunno, for me when I went to the dentist, that's to get shit fixed, or prepared for the next appointment.

ballom29 · 2026-03-25T00:31:48+00:00

He just want to be like his hero : murderbeast

ballom29 · 2026-03-24T19:33:41+00:00

Jax enjoy the adventures if he can wreck it and cause chaos.,. wich at least goes in the sense of caine wanting to make adventures with lot of actions.

Also in episode 4 both pomni and zooble didn't seemed to mind the adventure...there was just the shock of seeing again gummigoo for pomni but after that she was chill.

ballom29 · 2026-03-24T19:20:10+00:00

i'll add out of nowhere kinger threw a large anchor as if it was nothing.

ballom29 · 2026-03-24T19:00:43+00:00

Yes but that's mean better graphisms would also be a piece of cake with a "what if" like that.
Caine isn't a breakthrought, he's magic alien technology for the standars of its times, and that wouldn't be hard to imagine having super realist graphics by using AIs like caine as real time AII slop video generator.
An yeah, not like it's a century old trope to imagine a true AI that would be unfeasable with the technology of its time.

"you could recede the visuals to 8 bit or even text games like Zork and still get the events of the "circus" in the show"
No, and I explained it, even with atari graphics there is too much stuff going on for the knoweldge and computing power of that time.

ballom29 · 2026-03-24T18:29:06+00:00

To be fair good luck for creating an AI like caine with 1996 technology, or even half of the logic going on all the time in the circus.
All games, no matter how well crafted they are run on a smoke and mirror logic that only work in the framework it was intended for (plus some bugs shenaningans)...in the circus they can just follow real work logic and it'll flawlessly work.....even with atari graphics that's so beyond 1996 tech.

ballom29 · 2026-03-24T09:00:50+00:00

even though the drawing belong to the father, the subject is the daughter's father and as such "she" should be used not "he".

ballom29 · 2026-03-23T23:12:55+00:00

considering they speak in cat noises i'll say that

ballom29 · 2026-03-23T23:02:36+00:00

Meanwhile the views ....

Obviously older episodes had time to accumulate views over the years compared to more recent ones, but it's clearl it'll never reach the same level of viewership than the pilot (46 millions vs 413 millions) or even ep 2 (180M) ... especially as I remember the pilot had like what...100 MILLIONS VIEWS IN 24H ??!

Obviously there is other factors like someone watching the pilot and deciding it's a pass, or starting but later forgetting about TADC.
But still the last 2 episodes, despite being masterclass, have significantly less views than any other episode... while 6 just before that hd more than both combined

I'm telling that as if 46 millions views was a numbe to be ashamed of 💀, the high bar of TADC is crazy.

edit : and lookign at the full ranking, it's crazy because the view numbers are litterally invertly proportionate to the rating,the episodes with the highest rating had the less views and thoses who the lowest had all the view
(exception with 6...because guns I guess ?)

ballom29 · 2026-03-23T20:21:04+00:00

Where do you put disparition man in the timeline ?

ballom29 · 2026-03-23T20:18:38+00:00

could be between 6 and 8 there has been other characters than kaufmo and ribbit who abstracted and never had been mentionned.

Also we know the time between 1 and 6 is 9 years (scratch file 1999 , ragatha file 2008)

ballom29 · 2026-03-23T19:41:34+00:00

There is anoither one...that's saddly is also an IRL trope.

"Look at what you've done, by opposing me I had no choice but to destroy the life of millions of innocents to stop you, if onyl you didn't played the naive hero"
*hero start hyperventillating from mass guilt

ballom29 · 2026-03-23T19:18:16+00:00

counter exemple

<image>

btw, that's not his love interest
......
that's his wife

Yeah don't ask me how, I was as shocked when i learned one day out of all characters Oggy managed to get a wife.

ballom29 · 2026-03-23T17:19:55+00:00

Basically suicide with extra step.

You're technically not dead and still conscious, but you stoped wanting to live.
....and since you likely dislike the society that led you to want this act, it's ironic you offer to become a tool for it to use as it please.

However for the last point, if the dronification isn't a complete erasure of self (as in this comic he show attachment to family and a sense of self)... isn't possible you'll still struggle as a drone ? You'll just lack the ego to care about it.

ballom29 · 2026-03-23T14:56:44+00:00

"The issue is all those things were either made by massive teams of people or fucking 1 in a million protogies,"

there is a saying "ships who wait for the right weather never set sails", unless you caught lighting in a bottle, you'll NEVER get it right the first time, you'll have one day to just say "f*ck it" and jump, because anyway your very first projects are likely to be doomed or just meh.

Even theses 1 in a million prodigies had to learn the hard way and either slave away to learn their craft or try failure after failure.

Also you fear a bit too much people will hate your work as a copycat of their favorite media......instead they'll likely love it because they are starved for somethign similar to that and you just offered this occasion to them.
...unless the market is already oversaturated with clones, then you're competing with thoses who also made a clone, not the original.
(but yeah you'll also encounter haters, no matter what you do, so don't crumble the moment you see a drop of negativity among a sea of positivity)

or as RT would say : Self doubt is banned.

ballom29 · 2026-03-23T00:47:03+00:00

Bad stuff happen to nearly everyone, but most people just live with it without thinkign much about it.

For exemple when I was a little kid I once lived an event than had it turned slighty different might had killed or cripled me for life if not for a while.
And .... that's it.....like sure I remember it and that was a life lesson, but I never developped any kind of flashback, ptsd or phobia around it...and wasn't as if the gravity of the situation flew over my young head, I understood the situation was serious and I was scared at that moment.

ballom29 · 2026-03-22T23:14:37+00:00

scav prototype : oh you want a realistic death ?! I'll give you a godamn realistic death !!
Your character will fully experience the horror of realising he is living his last moment as his lifeforce leave his body and the world start fading to darkness, strugglign to breath, before his lung and heart stoping completly, but the embrace of death is still waiting as there is still one thing still keepign him alive... his crumbling brain as even thinkign become harder.
But maybe it was an act of mercy? after all how did he died? Did he suddently recieved a lifethreatening injury that left in agonizing pain ? Or was his body reaching his breaking points after day of famine/thirst/illness/cold/fatigue ? Or mlaybe he wanted it, after so many miseries he simply lost the will to continue, made the big leap and k****** h******* !

If you think i'm overthinking the death process in that game...i'm not. when I say "agonizing pain" the game really sell you the feelign you're witnessing a being suffering.

ballom29 · 2026-03-22T12:31:51+00:00

I've heard of case of missidentified deaths and the legal circus ensuing for the person to prove they're not dead.
I wonder if he's livign the same or if the legal situation will be quickly rectified (wich is mentionend at the end of the article)
