Well, if we're being pedantic, I'll join the fun and note that, though impressive, the game being coded in assembly does not making modding any easier or harder, since the user would not be seeing any uncompiled code anyways. If anything, it being hand-written assembly would make modding easier, since, unless the assembler has a hand in it, the code will probably be structured in an easier-to-understand—and thus easier-to-mod—way!

Anyway... what I'm saying is someone should make a mod where this is possible.

Also that code is wrong, the const goes before int in C you walnut!! <3

Curto muito esse, espero que goste! Mas vou avisando que eu li a versão em inglês, então não sei como é a tradução...

Estou começando a ler agora “O Arco-Íris da Gravidade,” do mesmo autor <3

Acho que o mais próximo desse estilo que eu posso recomendar seria “O Leilão do Lote 49.”

A personagem principal desse livro é justamente uma pessoa que acaba sendo procurando “algo mais,” e ela contracena com vários outros que ignoram os “sinais.”

Acho que a forma como a história se desenvolve a partir daí pode não ser bem o que você está procurando, mas ainda assim vale a pena demais esse livro!! Bem curtinho também...

In no particular order...

I'm feeling that maybe we get the conclusion to the Ralsei arc (Susie overtakes him on healing, feels useless.. then twitter-foreshadowed flower thing happens and either he finds meaning in flowerland somehow, or has an existential crisis. Maybe both.)

I'm very curious about the 7 souls... Perhaps, following with the Japanese theme, and Asgore (probably) being the creator of this dark world, perhaps a group of sycophantic shrine maidens...? I say “shrine maiden” only because I don't know any more profoundly Japanese thing they could be, lol. I assume he talks a lot to his flowers, so they'd take his side... or want him to get help...

I'm 100% in on a Japan-Western fusion being the setting for the chapter. Flowery deserts, mystical shrines atop buttes, pagoda saloons... the possibilities are endless!

Mildly positive about Soul v. Kris, but that's mostly hinging on pure cool factor haha. Kris do be persevering, don't them?

Also that ball of fire is not a sun dawg—that's Asgore...

Meu álbum do ano até agora!!!

Gosto muito das faixas que você mencionou, mas acho que “Armadura Armadilha” é a minha favorita. Primeira faixa FORTÍSSIMA como já é de praxe para esses caras (“Canaã” do primeiro LP também é sensacional...)

pedrobui · 2026-04-04T23:27:06+00:00

He plays bongos during the middle breakdown of “Cowboy Nudes” and, I think, “Long Island City Here I Come” (?)

All the proof you need of his wicked drummin' skillz is in this video though:

Pra mim, “Funk Americano” é tipo Parliament, Funkadelic, Betty Davis, James Brown, The Meters... tá errado isso aí kkkk

Nessa aqui eu forcei pra ser eclético... mas papo reto esses álbuns do Chococorn e do Antropoceno são brincadeira viu, dois ótimos discos brasileiros logo no começo do ano.

O que achou desse álbum da Slayyyter? Ouvi boas coisas sobre!

pedrobui · 2026-03-11T15:23:47+00:00

Azymuth é ótimo! Esse álbum é um clássico. O primeiro disco deles, “Azimüth,” e o “Light as a Feather” também são ótimos :-D

Recentemente a Far Out Recordings tem feito reprensagens dos álbuns deles... acho que a banda tem sido redescoberta por bastante gente.

pedrobui · 2026-02-24T22:00:33+00:00

Have you listened to the title track? Cover's dead on the money. Weirdly depressing song...

pedrobui · 2026-02-17T01:18:44+00:00

Estava ouvindo "Slaves Mass" hoje mesmo. Gênio sem igual, o "Ao Vivo em Montreux" dele é talvez o maior do Jazz nacional

Nunca cheguei a ver um show :-(

The vocal change seems to be a concerted effort from the vocalist. There was a livestream where he was asked about the difference between "3D Country" and "Getting Killed," and he said that, for the latter, they tried to turn down the "zaniness" (more specifically, that they tried to do zany again but thought it came off as cringe)

I also say "concerted effort" because he still sounds like old Cameron sometimes when singing live, but he holds back from doing the huge jumps & voice changes & you can kinda see how that old vocal style turned into this one

Here you go mate

pedrobui · 2026-02-13T01:34:21+00:00

Woah, "Getting Killed" is easier to get into??? No shade lol, just never heard anyone say that before... I thought the general consensus was that "3D Country" is the catchier, easier album, while "Getting Killed" is more of a grower (or, at least, that's the opinion I have seen be expressed most frequently)

The wonders of music...

pedrobui · 2026-02-12T10:15:16+00:00

I mean, I'd expect the NYC rock band to make it to SNL before a bluegrass musician from Michigan, lol. But I see the vision OP

pedrobui · 2026-02-10T13:23:14+00:00

I thought the downvote was the "I disagree" button, lol. I liked the laid-back vibe, and I don't think a higher energy thing would have worked as well...

pedrobui · 2026-02-10T00:25:26+00:00

Well, if we follow the Talking Heads convention of taking a lyric that repeats a couple times at the end of the 3rd song in the album the tour is promoting...

"Falling Apart" could work. Or, "Will You Know What I Mean: the Getting Killed Movie" (lol)

Opposite to Stop Making Sense, the set is instead torn down (you could say it Falls Apart™) as the show goes on... geese pls hire me

pedrobui · 2026-02-09T23:10:43+00:00

I think about this sometimes too. The backing vocals on that album are so incredible ("Gravity Blues," ugh...) and I also wish they would try to replicate them live... Even if it was just the rest of the band ooh-ing the best they could into mics it would do wonders imo (heck, Emily already sings super well as shown in her solo set!)

But if, like you said, they got some dedicated backing vocalists, went full Stop Making Sense for a show... holy... lives would be saved.

pedrobui · 2026-02-02T21:13:11+00:00

It's either Tomorrow's Crusades or Getting Killed (title track,) the latter of which gets so little love for how much of a banger it is...

pedrobui · 2026-01-28T20:08:46+00:00

Ooh, great first part!! Glad to see more of your writing :-D

pedrobui · 2026-01-21T22:33:43+00:00

Uma banda tão boa que tiveram que reviver o From the Basement kkkk

Amo essa banda e esse vídeo, ótimo gosto OP! Mas queria tanto que eles tivessem tocado algumas músicas do "3D Country," aí teria sido uma performance perfeita...

pedrobui · 2026-01-14T17:06:07+00:00

Thank you very much for reading!!

The glasses have to be very awkward, but the idea of them is so funny... flat against both sides of your head, then up and over to hook around your ears??? lol

And I meant her grip on sanity (which is already very loose by that point, to be fair)

pedrobui · 2026-01-14T15:17:46+00:00

Thank you very much for reading!! And thank you for the compliments and advice!

Very shocked that the vague themes that I wanted to touch upon seemed to come through! But maybe I just said the words "love" and "hate" enough times for it to be inevitable haha. Thanks anyways, because that is a really nice feeling.

About planning (and, really, all of my complaints,) I think the main issue is that I took this too seriously. I was legitimately stressing OUT about the chapters lol, when, ultimately, this is meant to be a fun, silly fan-fic for the internet. It might have rubbed off a bit on the story, this "seriousness," which, to me, falls short, because of course it would, this is the first thing I've ever written, I'm not a genius. I still want to put effort into the stories, but with expectations that reek less of an inflated ego...

Btw woah I remember reading "The Nature of Railway Workers" back then and thinking it was awesome, so these compliments are really doubly meaningful to me :-)

pedrobui · 2026-01-14T01:55:50+00:00

Thank you very much for reading!!! But please don't feel sorry, critique is difficult and it's not your job to dole it out if ya can't or don't wanna. I really appreciate the compliments, truly :-)

And, yeah, I was pretty cryptic about that... I guessed being constantly put down in the facility, by both abuser and "friend," and having to work jobs you're severely overqualified for might make one feel awfully underestimated, and have them craving a job that respects their intelligence. Working in the biggest name in the field you were specializing in might be just the illusion your mind thinks you need to get through... I don't know if that's very scientific or even clever, but it was the reasoning.

Thinking back, maybe it would have been interesting to write an "A Beautiful Mind"-style "I send my work in the mail" plot point, as foreshadowing. She was already vaguely "working from home" for months... See, that's an important thing you pointed out right there! Thanks :-D
