Hey if you all in Bsky land are craving some chiptunes today, consider listening to my original Mega Man concept album!

It'd be the coolest if you did 🙂

I don't like being negative but I wanna share my thoughts on Mouthwashing...

The graphics, the atmosphere and the imagery were great.
The story on the other hand really left me wanting.

Most of the extreme horror felt forced too. Like bad trips meant only for shock but plotwise were unimportant.

Oh 100% they did. Say what you want about gameplay (it's fine) but those designs are filthy with tons of direct rip-offs

I played a lot of the PS2 original but I heard that the remaster was a huge improvement

Agreed, "reactions as a service" is one of the weirdest genres of video content. I mean y'all know they are faking the hell out of those reactions, right? Like this is their whole schtick. It's called acting folks.

Okay cool this looks pretty fun and like the action is quick paced!

8-Bit Alchemy @8bitalchemy.bsky.social · 19h

Hmm that is tricky isn't it? I know about Alundra 1's gameplay but I'm not that familiar with Alundra 2

There are not many games that make you feel as cool as Otogi does

Hey, you got grit Jeff, don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise

That color match to your outfit is sick

I was totally surprised by a few NPC kids that were running around the city with their Pokemon following them. They were moving in a way that made me think they were player controlled somehow, and I was like "Uhhh this game doesn't have that though, right?"

8-Bit Alchemy @8bitalchemy.bsky.social · 19h

Played this for the first time a few years ago and thought it was a lot of fun. Never did no 2/3 loops though!
