Doll Under The Christmas Tree

looks like you did, good girl!

[an image with two sides that are both an unreadable barrage of explosions and point indicators] In both images the same enemy is destroyed at the beginning of stage 3 whilst in Zesshikai. Left: Zesshikai Level 0. Right: Zesshikai Level 1. The multiplier in the left image is a flat x15 across all bullets (the few x19 are from a zako in the back being destroyed), and the multiplier in the right image starts at around x6 and increments up to x40.

seriously what the fuck is going on in the sequel's shmupwiki page

i will hopefully have the energy tomorrow night to get MAME set up and see if the first one is a vibe

espgaluda is like "use gems to enter a mode that slows projectiles and auto-bombs for you. if you run out of gems, projectiles speed up instead and enemies drop valuable items. use both states to your advantage!" and espgaluda 2 seems to have about 200 mechanics whose names are all written in kanji

"It is too difficult to understand, I don't know,"

yeag. was not joking with this one

#opmeg

that's what i've been doing; i'm self-conscious about my progress or lack therof, and my knowledge or lack thereof, so i've not been talking about it at all but i've been bouncing between rsg/zr/blue revolver and intend to get espgaluda 1 in the mix too

mmmmwa!!! 💕 #oc #gl #yuri #ocsky

What's [RADIANT SILVERGUN] about?

(a picture of my pfp, framed in a shrine) "It is too difficult to understand, I don't know."

It kept playing that game until it died at 94,

"I am counting on you to get the 1cc."

got filtered pretty bad by radiant silvergun but it made me immediately understand what zeroranger is going for a lot more and got me to give it another go. shmups are still not a genre i'd say i'm comfortable with but seeing the broader intertextual structures woven into the genre is helping a lot

bern leaning into lambda a little bit as they peer into the opened gaiwan

the woodiness is starting to creep in and the astringency is growing draining rather than invigorating after four steeps but holy shit this was a delight. the girls agree

it's like earthy and subtly sweet and has this warmth and velvety texture. closest note i have is a spongy cake with just enough spice to perceive but not enough to define, maybe? but even then that's not really accurate at all, this puerh is its own thing. lovely!

it's difficult for me to get a coherent flavor note out of the first two steeps, it's entirely a sensory experience. this is a tea that appeals to my sense of touch and keeps a poker face for my sense of smell. woody, savory, subtly floral? an all encompassing energy is felt that can't be conveyed

Lambda and Bern enjoying some ripe puer

last night was the cake of raw puer and tonight's the ripe. god DAMN this is a thick ass brew. decadent and smooth and shocking amounts of mouthfeel for tea

i'm not going to lie i don't think this is the discourse to pin on gaming journalism/editorial being incompetent or colluding with valve when IGN itself has been covering this extensively

internet truly is the great equalizer

oh my god I didn't even realize that I was telling the fucking former EIC of IGN current director of programming at the LA Times that he needed to either log off or type "loli" into steam's search

bugaboo is nestled on the opposite side of the bed from me and is successfully transmitting cozy radiation directly into my body

usually leave work feeling drained or demolished but i think the word for tonight's mood is "devastated" tbh. regret getting in an internet slapfight for the last hour cuz it didn't help me stop feeling crummy. will try to post puerh in an hour when I get the will to walk again

I would really, really encourage you to mute every single post related to this original skeet and just block people you disagree with if you don't want to acknowledge people who actually are trying. It's frustrating to see you ignoring every good-faith post and exclusively reply to dunks.

And, yes, when they are effectively the PC gaming industry (and their bans lead to other delistings), we should ask if it's their right to dictate this. "Tastemaker or unmoderated" is the struggle that's defined Steam since its inception and one look at the forums makes it clear which they prefer.

"I'm havin a breakdown," says one crudely-drawn stick figure to another. "You'll be OK," says the second. The first stick figure exclaims, "AGGHHH", and collapses. His head and outstretched arms and legs spell out the letters O-K.

You’ll Be OK

Valve may have a legal right to refuse whatever they like according to their values, but if they're not applying those values fairly (and one look at the search results for "loli" on their platform makes it clear they don't even have a basic wordfilter) does that mean they're above critique?

I think the intent of the replies to your post were much more interested in asking what the difference is between them.

of the Devil is simply way too up my alley but Kemono's a really strong second place. it's an episodic game so it might shit the bed but its grasp of tone, style, and character psychology is insanely fucking good

oh god a hater post is catching on quick here's a thread of some shit that i liked from this year i promise i'm not too cynical i pwomise

the developer just followed me

AAAAAAAAAAAA
