Personally, I don't know what Halloween is supposed to be other than a product that is sold to me. Nostalgia for childhood experiences I didn't have? It's bad enough that christmas products are in stores already, I don't need to also see jackolanterns all month.

That all sounds great! But finnish people don't have a whimsical bone in their body, especially the goths and metalheads. Myself very much included.

If anyone is looking for something cute and calm to fill their time in the next while, the Finnish public broadcaster just started a 24hr livestream of a litter of 11 English Springer Spaniel puppies for the next 8 weeks. You can watch here: areena.yle.fi/1-76362374

Muru synnytti 11 tervettä pentua. Miten sujuvat pentujen ensimmäiset tärkeät päivät? Kahdeksan viikkoa kestävässä suorassa lähetyksessä seurataan englanninspringerspanieli Murua ja tämän pentuetta.

Glory of Heracles. Love me a Greek mythology RPG writtten by the FF7 writer. Optional touchscreen minigames to power up your spellcasting is cool.

Suikoden Tierkreis is much better than its reputation. Streamlined, no strategy battle / 1v1 fluff, no prior series connection. Has voice acting! On DS!

Musical artists, I'm begging you to announce your shows at least a week in advance. That's the bare minimum. I'd love to see you in Helsinki, but I need more than two days to sort travel arrangements and change my sleep schedule so I can attend. Why has this happened twice since last month?!

"Shockingly short"? It's 5 chapters, like 10-15 hours. It's fine! Other first person dungeon crawlers might take longer, but I wouldn't see that as a positive if it's all grinding and mitigating bad luck and cheap traps. Arcana is fine. Nothing shocking about it.

The solution here is to start looking forward to Kingdoms of the Dump. store.steampowered.com/app/2159270/...

Kingdoms of the Dump on Steam

Oh absolutely, 100%. And the breaking free of a predetermined path works more strongly if it's not just of the dragon's tradition, but of the nightmare's scheming and manipulating since the start. Barubary is the only one to say "destined child" before Valerie, it needs to be a factor the whole way.

Allon Bachuth @allonbachuth.bsky.social · 18d

What you're saying makes sense logistically, but thematically everything to do with the "destined child" seems too important to be a backup plan. Easier for me to imagine Barubary using Habaruku as a pawn.

Did Habaruku ever know Ray was of the dragon clan?
Was it so that Habaruku was only concerned with the seal on the surface and planning on killing the dragon to break it, while Barubary was grooming a destined child to open the inner gates, even if it meant Habaruku's death?

Allon Bachuth @allonbachuth.bsky.social · 19d

If they knew they needed dragonblood, did they not know Ganer's late wife was a dragon worshipper? Was the intent not to gain access to Ganer's kids? Barubary had already been making contact with Ryu in his nightmares. Was there no coordination between Habaruku and Barubary?

Overthinking #BreathOfFire 2; What did the villains know at the start of the story?
Did Habaruku know that Ganer was a powerful magician, so they needed him in the machine? Did they know the seal was weakening? Why not break the seal instantly then? Did they not yet know they needed dragonblood?

I'm taking a break from streaming at least for the month of October. And I already can't believe how I'm working so much more every single day of my "vacation." I have so many appointments, so many unfinished projects. The 4-5 hours I save per day not streaming vanish in an instant. I hate it.

Hey do you remember how the BoF2 fan translation is Bad Actually but modders still use it as their base for their new Definitive Editions and reddit still recommends it for first time players?
Love to run into anachronistic Strong Bad references. (Pictured: Sumner, the Music Test tenant.)

That I can help with. In the Valerie flashback, she receives the pendant from her father Martin when she's ready to leave Dologany for the surface. She then drops it when she transforms into a dragon, and little Ryu finds it and Ganer recognizes it.

Hi, excellent thread you've made, glad to have found it.
I'm 4,400+ words deep into a first draft of BoF2 story analysis essay, excluding crossreferences to the sequels and literature cited in the game. Would you mind sharing some of your thoughts on the dragon tear? I've barely mentioned it so far.

After spending decades shitting on Banjo Kazooie from afar, I have finally beaten it. I can now confidently say it sucks from close up, as well. Terrible game.

Lifehack: If you don't quite hear what someone is saying, respond as if they said the most flattering thing that lets you talk about the stuff you're interested in. Maintain control of that conversation!
This also works if you do hear them but you'd rather talk about anything else.

Worth pointing out this was a conversation about Trails, a series primarily defined by some of the largest wordcount in gaming. They are functionally books. Would you start reading Lord of the Rings from the point of Return of the King because it's the best one?

I am rather interested in Silent Hill f as something outside my gaming comfort zone, but not 80€ interested. I could buy ten ten games off my wishlist for that kind of money, even when they're not being discounted.
