Deka Fumo Death Cult

Gonna go for a tourist next.

EZPZ ascension. The scroll shop trivialized the early game and then an extra WoW was just icing on the cake.

Early HoOA let me wish for the MKoT but I lost in in the quest when my nemesis first hit stole it lol. The Helm still made the ascension run super easy tho.

Very straightforward run overall

Ooh round 3 going super well so far. Shaky start dealing with lycanthropy, bur already have MR and a +6 Excalibur. Early scroll shops are the best. -9 AC and a uni horn have me decently safe. Just gotta avoid getting one-dunked by poison or something stupid like that.

Ate a chickatrice thinking it was a pyrolisk. Run would have been free too. I’m so stupid lmao

Round 3. Knight 3.

Accidentally wielded my blindfold instead of wearing it before attacking a floating eye. 10/10 would play again.

Round 2. Another knight.

Gonna document my TNNT runs here just for the hell of it.

1st run of the year, as always, we enter the dungeon as a knight.
Not gonna try too hard for any conducts since I haven’t played in a year.

#DekaTNNT2025

We’ve got Oh My God! this week, a matching colors games not that far off from Columns in its matching rules. What sets it apart is basic piece placement: you control pieces like in Snake, having to wind around to find the optimal position and deal with longer pieces

Time to lock in for TNNT. I wonder what kind of ascensions I should go for this year.

Also wondering if IRC is the main way people find a clan.

The game was horrendously balanced but got some patches that drastically shifted things around.
At launch, because of the way damage worked, it was impossible to kill the ghostlop characters with pressure and they were also way better at quota because the linepull button hadn’t been implemented yet.

It’s been a while, but IIRC they even did the whole “and the matchup is absolutely not balanced” thing too lol
Magdrop V was such a mess

For better or worse, the saturday morning staff at the bagel place greet me by name now.
The logical result of getting a saturday morning bagel 16 weeks in a row, I suppose.

You ever think “why isn’t Puzzle Bobble more violent and disruptive?”? Well, Azumanga Daioh Puzzle Bobble has your back

In spite of being based off the slice of life series, you can do some real mean spirited things with the ability to shoot into your opponents playfield

You ever play Puyo and go “wow, these little blob guys don’t hug each other enough”?. Well, Deroon Dero Dero has you covered, with pieces reaching across the board for mind bending chain theory

Plus there’s a burst. That’s always neat

Wretched creature give me strength in this VSP bracket

Watching through umamusume’s anime as part of book club and it’s kinda funny to learn that S1 and S2 have just been dramatizations of the irl horses’ racing careers.

TL;DR, don’t look the real life horses up if you care about spoilers lol

My brain automatically parsing “vanquisher” as orange rank in Tekken makes all of these rank brag posts incredibly funny

And I think this nicely accounts for why genre/series diehards tend to get so upset with games that stray really far from the “standard” level of difficulty despite cases where it leads to critical acclaim or financial success (i.e. the games are “good” by any other metric)

In the wake of MH Wilds, I was musing with some friends that, at their core, games are just a mechanism to provide friction between a player and an endstate, and almost every gameplay flaw boils down to straying too far from the amount of friction a player expects.

Despite not playing (or really even following) the game, I find myself oddly invested in the upcoming Strive patchnotes.

There’s a VSp regular who smokes everybody with Suija. He’s probably won more of the weeklies than anyone else at this point. This character is a menace.

Called @ratttz.bsky.social with the plan of quickly recording some gameplay footage for our Puzzle Touchdown pitch deck, but we ended up playing for an hour because the game rocks.

I present to you 90 seconds of absolute IPTD nonsense.

developing puzzle touchdown is the most exciting project i think i've had in my life, i can't wait until you get a chance to play it

I love that the only time it remembers how to save window sizes is when you misclick and make it some awful, unusable aspect ratio on accident

No, it’s the CGDCT anime about Bowling

Okay, Turkey might actually be one of the most unhinged anime to air in years

I threw something like a 3W and found:
(3) 1 woods
(3) 5 irons
(2) 8 Irons

Hole is a lot like Japan 16 if it had a huge thorn bush on one side of the first hill. Whether you lay up or run it, it’s in the way, but apparently I’m the only person silly enough to actually go into it for a lost disc lol

Discs have drastically different flight characteristics based on the rim shape and type of plastic, so while I did find some cool stuff, I’m still gonna have to replace the one I lost. 😞

Got greedy on a drive and threw one of my discs into a thick ass bramble bush. 45 minutes of crawling around through thorns later, I emerged with 8 discs, none of which were the one I lost.
