Enemies in Castlevania Bloodlines do not die if brought to 0 hp. Their health value has to actually drop below 0 for them to be defeated.

quick thought about Absolum after completing my first run:
as one progresses through the game it improves as a roguelite and worsens as a beat-em-up.

I don't like to weigh in on fighting game shit anymore but joining a beginner bracket on an alt account is grounds for an irl ass-whupping and you can report me for that I do not give a fuck and could probably use a break from here anyway.
if anyone is trying to kill Karnov's Revenge atm it's 100% hibachifinal. falling off the game is one thing, but
-going around telling people not to play the game
-blaming me for killing it
-entering the upcoming beginner bracket on an alt
-after a similar incident w/ Clayton started a whole thing

we gotta do something about all these retrowave games coming out that are allegedly "inspired by 90s arcade games" but don't have a scoring system.

This is a great day to give trans people money.
We are trying to play 3 shows next September (Denver, SLC, Seattle), and it's going to cost us--there's no way we'll even break even. So sales count a lot until then.
8 releases for less than 20 bucks is a steal
