I've spent a lot of time organizing my walkthroughs (and livestreams) into playlists!

YouTube doesn't have channel-wide playlist search and scrolling through 500 of them is insanity, so I've made categorized spreadsheets sorted alphabetically so that you can find up-to date videos.

TL;DR the experience would be similar, but the battles would take longer time. Things would get more annoying and longer on Scavenger and higher.

I'm not interested in making challenge run videos, but Bounty Mode might be even easier, as you get free goodies for M4A1 early on, like Hammer, that outright stuns golems and a lot of common ANMCs. You also get Pyke before a boss that is very weak against it.

The boss and common enemy attack patterns remain the same, with anecdotal evidence that some uncommon attacks appear more often, but dodging techniques do not change between difficulties, but the damage output of Aya is lower.

Assuming you're being genuine and not rage-baiting, here's a good video on the subject: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHSs...

Good selection of videos!

It's disturbing to see repeat corporate apologism, when it's never been more clear that the price and amount of success does nothing to make the lives of developers any better, with the way how things with most publishers are.

Actual thing that happened at work today
#chipwisemanart

Illustration.
A woman holding her phone says "Oh Charlotte, you know anime. My son's dressing up as one for Halloween, see if you know the character..."
I, sat at my desk typing, turn to face her, saying "Sure let me see-"
In a thought bubble next to my head are some cool anime guys like Goku and that guy with the blindfold from Jujutsu Kaisen.
Close-up on the phone, it's an amazon listing for an Astolfo cosplay. Like, Astolfo the trans woman from Fate/Apocrypha. Crop top, skirt and all.
I look at this image with an expression of shock, shakily uttering "y.. yeah, i know that one...."

An in-game model for PS2/SH2 graphic text I did w/ the lead & graphic programmer Norihito Hatakeda, which I sculpted for the 1st time. The in-game models, Maria, Mary, Bubble Head Nurse, Angela and even Pyramid Head arms were based on this model. Also this was eventually called Fukuro Lady.

It is time to paint witches!! 🔮🌙

watercolor and ink painting- a witch stands facing the viewer. She is wearing an outfit based on traditional Scandinavian dress, save the witch hat of course. She holds a staff in her hands that has a sleeping moon on it and a long red banner. She stands, a vignette, in front of an archway made of entangled trees.

Cloud from FFVII edited into a photo of Margaret Thatcher's grave. He's standing in front of it. The photo has been manipulated to look like a grainy PS1 prerender. A dialogue window reads "Cloud: Did Sephiroth... do this?"

PE2 doesn't have that many direct connections to the first Parasite Eve game, aside from the intro, the mention of NY incident. Then there's the sudden, out of nowhere Daniel roast.

There's been Bounty Mode progress, but I also now have a request!

Parasite Eve 2 PlayStation 1 video game screenshot via DuckStation.
Aya is in the shelter, exploring the storage room, examining big canisters of ketchup. It reminds her of her former colleague, whose cooking she proceeds to roast.
Text: "Daniel's terrible homemade spaghetti! His son didn't like it either."

I'm not too familiar with the PSP lineup, so it's a bit surprising to see more of Kurushi.

Despite the extra intimidating atmosphere, it's one of the rare puzzle titles that made me study the rules by playing it over and over, as reading hints without language knowledge was out of the question.

Saw a post on tumblr that said “Think I need a motivational poster of one of Saejima's big soft cat-looking smiles that says: "Never let an unkind world make you an unkind person".” So I drew this 🖊️🦑

An art nouveau-style illustration of Tyranny from Critical Role. Tyranny is a pink-skinned tiefling with yellow goat-like eyes, upright horns, claws, and a devilish tail. She wears teal-blue robes with ruffles and celestial embroidery, as well as a matching headdress. She has straight white hair that flows past her shoulders and short bangs. In the frame behind her are motifs of the lunar cycle, a sun, and flaming hearts wrapped in thorny vines with arrows through them.

The first impressions of Tricephalos was that the buffed version of it sure it difficult due to the ability of being one or two-shotted. There's no room for mistakes, and there were plenty.

Crocipedia, the preservation of all media related to Croc.

Updated control scheme, which is a notable accessibility improvement for those that struggle with original.

Funding the remaster efforts for Croc 2, and maybe more for the future.

Wider availability, beyond PS1 and PC.
