Named NPC

Normally eels are a pain because they break your line or fold themselves into a pretzel, but this one was kinda cute and chill

It's a small event at a local venue that's open to the entire Hawaii FGC discord server that I frequent, but I think we're expecting around 20 attendees? It's like an event where we give people poker chips to money match each other with, and at the end people can trade in their chips for cookies

Ooh thanks! Lately a lot of my free time has been spent on organizing an FGC event and playing Arknights Endfield, but I'll add these to my list!

The local kitty at the harbor was uncharacteristically friendly to us last night while we were fishing

Forgot to post my first catch of 2026: a big ol' porcupine fish

so insanely fucking real for this

demonschool extremely a game written by people who are "on line", but in a way that's genuinely charming more often than not.

I made a joke in my main Discord server about DOOM E1M1 being in a major key and @abigbagofkeys.sickonedude.com actually made it. Jesus fucking Christ listen to this hahahaha

I haven't checked out the latest update at all so idk what's in it exactly, but I've heard that a lot of things have been added. I only know for sure that there's a new career scenario that introduces new mechanics or something

Lately I've been trying to beat Absolum on a file without any tree upgrades, and tonight I beat Azra! Now I can begin the real grind for true ending. orz

And I’m listening

A build so broken that not even Azra can prevent it. This has to be the dumbest Absolum run I've ever had

Wow, sounds like it's a solo dev working on this according to the FAQ. Hopefully the project makes it completion since it looks sick

Yeah, it's just kind of a "Congrats, you did it!" which I suppose is similar to how old school beat 'em ups are, but it does feel anticlimactic for a roguelike. The devs did say that they plan on releasing more content/patches though, so maybe in the future more replayability will be added

I shouldn't say that there's a "lack" of meta progression, but rather you naturally unlock every upgrade just by putting time into the game, and once you do that then that's it

The lack of meta progression or a mechanic similar to heat in Hades makes finishing Absolum runs hard sometimes. I've been cleaning up the last few achievements I haven't done yet in the game, but often that means just abandoning runs once I make quest progress because I get nothing for winning

Third attempt at uploading this because this site sucks and raises my video audio to unbearable levels for some reason (possible audio warning)

So I had rituals that let me spawn skeletons that would drop bones whenever they got hit. This room had several waves of enemies, so I made a bunch of skeletons and at the end had a lot of bones. On top of that, I had the ritual that let me dash over throwables and turn them into those homing darts

Got my first full clear in Absolum with this funny build

I only played a bit of online in the demo and not in the full game, so idk what the current experience is like. I'm hoping they kinda rebalanced things when you have a partner though since the co-op experience was a bit too easy before

Yeah, in the demo of the game that was actually the strat, but it got nerfed in the full game via the repetitive mechanic and now I think it's not really worth it

Cider can also do a bicycle kick in the air by inputting up and light attack. This will send the enemy outwards, but it can't really be followed up unless the enemy hits the wall. It's still potentially useful though if you'd rather stay up in the air to combo rather than spike the enemy downwards

On Cider you can hold heavy attack to pull enemies towards you instead of jumping to them, which can be useful for air combos. Cider's grab is unique in that it can be done by jumping onto enemies, and you can pummel enemies by pressing attack without any directional input before slamming them.

I like Cider the most, but atm I've only won with Galandra. For Karl, I know he can walk around and jump while holding an enemy, which lets him dunk them downwards. Brome can hold jump to float in the air, but I haven't found a good application for it yet outside of just moving around

Hard to argue with steam reviews like this
