Big day. More to come... 🔮

All of the games looked pretty good or cool in some way or another, actually. The ones I listed I either already had hype for, sold me a reason to be hype, wasn't expected but very appreciated, or was hoping for but wasn't sure if it would happen any time soon.

wound up watching the indie world presentation cuz i'm waiting for my transient college to get in touch with me. i'm about to start spam calling the office though, tbh.

highlights for me: Mina the Hollower (Switch 2!), Neverway, Is This Seat Taken?, BALL X PIT (Amos Roddy w!), Caves of Qud, UFO 50.

also, more album work.

but first, dying of feeling remotely ill, water, coffee, protein shake, short walk. idk

good morning. no i’m actually not awake early for the indie world showcase. i’m up cuz i gotta get registered for one class as a transient student and i’m not allowed to register myself, so i have to call an academic advisor, and then i also have to pay for the course today. yippee.

SynthV, Vocaloid6 and other “AI-powered” singing synths are to music what digital watercolor simulation is to digital art. Human input and skill is still required to produce the end product, but the algorithm/AI just replicates the original tool (paint, voice) more naturally.

gonna be canceling my weekly streams until august 27th- really gotta focus on album work

a braincell told me to

Nintendo and the Switch 2 - Forgotten Kirby World Edition + Land-Crossed Star

salmon with whole grain avocado toast and pickled red onions

the first post is a half-joke but also my next album has a turn-in deadline this month, so new music very soon lol

-dusts off the mic-

sorry i haven’t released anything in a while, i’ve been spending the past year trying to get shredded and huge

my persona has been ripped and swole for years, it’s time i caught up 🏋️‍♂️💪

to that end i’ve officially lost 100 pounds from 313 last July.

this method is killer. didn’t have any jalapeños for this purpose but i popped in some black peppercorns i guess LOL

...i might need to swap to that method LOL for some reason it's taking a long time for my dishwasher to finish the sanitizing cycle

gonna try to pickle some red onions today

never done this before have no idea what to expect LOL

the jar dad got me is... apparently -not- heat-resistant so i need to be very careful to heat it slowly and then do the pickling while it's hot

Thank you!! I’m actually not sure how much I’ve gained, especially since the caloric deficit I’m on is on the extreme end, but the lost fat weight certainly makes up for that. ^^;

i’ve still got a good ways to go to my first goal of ~160-170 pounds (it shifts as i get more data from my scale) but i’m pretty proud of how it’s going. i’ve certainly gotten stronger (despite a fairly heavy caloric deficit)!

i didn't even realize i could change the graphics priority mode until you mentioned this.

i reopened the game and swapped them on and off. i think the increased sharpness / "fidelity" isn't worth the lower framerate- it looks like flickering to me.

Will absolutely be leaving my feedback when the survey hits my inbox though. :) I think it has a lot of potential tho!

Aside from warping or dashing with Faie, there is no dodge mechanic beyond walking around as Elliot; so blocking and perfect-guarding is pretty important.

That's... kind of it. I gleamed nothing about the game's story from the demo. But the game itself felt pretty good!

Notably, the boss gating the end of the demo caused me to game over several times with all the upgrades and items I could find.

There is a certain lack of clarity regarding the game's perfect guard mechanic; while I think it's more generous than others, it prefers earliness over lateness.

I played through the game on Hard difficulty (the options are Normal and Hard). "Normal" is intended for players newer to action games, and "Hard" is for players with more experience. I generally found it appropriately challenging, but I found the demo's two boss fights a touch difficult.

HD-2D looks just about as good as usual, but I think it has a habit of flickering unpleasantly in a way that is typically ignorable, if I'm being honest, but I found kind of distracting this time. The game itself seemed to run at mostly 60 FPS, with some stutters here and there.

Magicite varieties and effects are based on the equipment they apply their passives to, and can range in power level for a single effect (the demo lets you get varieties at a max of 2-Star power level). Power level seems attached to magicite rarity. Perhaps rare magicite might have unique effects.

Magicite, as a system, is comparable to any game that allows you to equip any number of passive traits given the points to spare- see Paper Mario, Expedition 33, and so on. But it's weird that aside from some magicite you acquire as a reward, the main system to get new options is a gacha.
