It's Critter Time!

Something I've enjoyed recently is Hello from Halo Head , a webcomic about various aspects of someone's mentality personified as an angel and demon coexisting in a colorful, cartoony environment as they process trauma. It stays pretty goofy but occasionally dips into some darker themes and emotional ...

kind of stunned at the new deltarune chapters on several levels but just in general how clearly toby fox grew, and matured as a composer since making undertale. this song in particular was just just so cool to me. the odd meter stuff is used really effectively.

I have furry webcomic suggestions!

Preeny Has to Repeat 6th Grade is insanely cute and funny and furry about a cat named Preeny. Nearly all the characters are adpots from DeviantArt, which means a lot of sparkledogs and sparklecats in the cast.

Arboreal is a webcomic with a conlang and cool ...

And some Tim Follins NES bangers. Pictionary goes hard .

He had no right to go that hard with Pictionary!

On a similar level of SNES songs that had no right to go as hard as they did, here's the Plok boss ...

Now that the game has been out for a few months, it's time to talk about it. Please, keep spoilers minimum for those who might not have played the game yet, and for those of you in that category: play this game!

I think this is a contender for game of the year, easily. A new studio's first work ...

Had a breakthrough in Wacca tonight. Unlocked super hard mode, got my first triple S. Missless across all three.

Me and my brother have also re-experienced Castle of the Winds in more ways than any human should have. A Win3.1 traditional roguelike from 1993, it's extremely cheeseable and breakable in so many ways, the player character is SO strong and gets infinite tools, so by modern sensibilities it is a ...

All the (non-X) Xenoblade Chronicles games have amazing soundtracks, and this is the tune that is forever associated in my mind with running around a huge, open world, just exploring.

Oh man, Xenoblade music is so good! The chain attack music from ...

Surely we have some audiophiles in the audience.

What's your current set up?
Do you prefer downloading lossless formats or buying physical media?
CD Players (both home and portable) or Vinyl?
Old iPods/MP3 Players/ FLAC Players
Headphones (both seeking and recommending)

Talking about battle themes, I gotta share some of my all-time faves, though some are a little controversial.

All of Oxenfrees soundtrack is bangers tbh but this one has such a capital V Vibe to it I’m always coming back to it

there are tracks with more going on so to speak but this is a good one


I only played through half of this and then dropped ...

As always, you've got great taste, Micolithe.

I got to have a good conversation with a random guy who stopped into my shop about the influences on our musical tastes, and it's still fresh in my mind. I was one of those types that was "Linkin Park only until exactly age 15 then everything exploded ...

shocking we've had no mention of Car Seat Headrest here yet - i may be a bit biased as i've played Bodys with the frontman to a packed room full of folks but i genuinely think the band version of CSH is one of the best working rock bands in the USA and in the world at large. while over the years ...

Also gotta post one of my favorite indie game tracks of all time from Sayonara Wild Hearts . This is the track that plays as you're finishing up the last level, so if you like it, please do yourself a favor and get the game. One of the best, coolest, flashiest, and heartfelt genre-defying indies of ...

I wanted to be a fox and had made my own fox tail before I even knew what the fandom was. I thought I was totally weird (I mean, I am, but you know what I mean.) I'm not sure why I wanted to be a fox so much but I think it stemmed from Starfox Adventures and wanting to have the tail really badly ...

I've always had a habit of inventing a character to represent myself, growing beyond them as I gave them their own personalities, and eventually shedding them as an OC and grasping for the next thing myself.

Was recently introduced to something.
It's... kind of a webcomic? But also a visual novel. It's an online text and image based multimedia thing.

Feel free to yell at me if it doesn't count, but only after you've taken a look at it.

Same Old Story, Cassette Beasts This game frankly does not get enough love from the furry community. Critter TF via cassette tape, what's not to love?

I just started it and finished the "prologue." I'm finishing up another game first, but it's next on the list! Been meaning to play it for a ...

Oh yes, this is my JAM! I can talk about video game music for hours! I'll start with something a little more gentle though. One of my favorite indie game soundtracks of all time: A Short Hike . I'll still put this on for a bike ride on a beautiful day, or on a hike in the Rockies near me. It's just ...

Wanted to hop in with something way more off the wall but that might still be of interest to some: Magical Destroyers . It is technically a magical girl show, but with a very unusual vibe and absurd story about an evil corporation trying to take over fan culture and different flavors of otaku ...

For long-form video essays about games, I have to recommend Jacob Geller . Rather than focusing on individual games, he focuses more on overarching literary and social themes that connect various games, how those games express them, and how video games are another medium for expressing human thought ...

WILD ZERO

One of my favorite B-movies of all time, it's an absurd romp about love, zombies, and ROCK N' ROLL!! Staring the actual garage rock band Guitar Wolf, it follows the young wannabe punk Ace as he discovers the true meaning of love and rock in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. One of the ...

Dillon's Dead Heat breakers is a game I only seem to remember. part of the problem is that it was a late late 3DS title, and it was eShop only in the US.
