It's Critter Time!

Gundam Evolution

Was it the most sterling and amazing game ever? No, god no

It was Overwatch with a Gundam skin. But it was competently done enough and was an actually decent Gundam Game and was done in due to Bandai Namco's terrible management. It's telling that the second the game was set to be ...

SILKSONG
IS
REAL

Been trying to learn Strive again, playing with a friend who's just as clueless as me is FUN

This has also been getting me to think about a game concept I've had in my mind for a while

I want to see if the crazy mobility systems of Anime Fighters can work as a control scheme for a Metroidvania ...

The itch to learn fighting games has returned

DAMN YOU SOCIAL ANXIETY WHY WON’T YOU LET ME PLAY ONLINE WITH RANDOS?!

A Metroidvania based on the Secret Level episode on Pac-Man

I’m curious about it actually

I have sword autism. Specifically HEMA Autism.

I love the look of European Longswords and I actually managed to take HEMA classes for a few months before life got in the way (I want to resume so badly).

Also Ed Boon still defends the animations of modern Netherealm games, saying that they're perfectly realistic and people who say they look bad are "too used to cartoons"
So I would say it's not a purposeful "legacy art" choice


i don't think we can take ed boon seriously

terminator low kick ...

I feel like what makes fighting game animations cool or impactful is that they look unrealistic. Characters don’t move like humans so naturally they have to move in ways that are more about feeling right to a player and for gameplay. Realism should take a back seat to game feel imo. Real people ...

Not gotten around to the videos yet, but I was discussing this with Jennifer a while ago, I hadn't seen MK for a long time and after tuning into a tournament ('cause Sonic Fox), boy, the animations look rough .
They look like they purposefully tried to model them after the clunky motion captures ...

I want to share some videos on what I find to be one of the most interesting topics of Fighting Games
The animations

How to express character through actions alone, all while being fast and readable

I've yet to play Deltarune past chapter 1 when it first came out, I need to get on it

And I'm in the camp of "Undertale was a truly excellent game, but nothing formative or truly life changing"
However, for what it represents, being a story that can only truly be experienced as a game and how ...

You should check out the Devil Gundam from G Gundam, it's a hell of a time


I know about the Devil Gundam but it's just not quite what I wanted.
Not overtly flesh since it's mostly nano machines that end up looking vaguely flesh like at times

And it's autonomous and possessive of the pilot, and ...

I want Gundam to tackle Biomechanical Horror so much

We already have several examples of neural interfaces (Iron Blooded Orphans, Thunderbolt, G-Witch)
We already have several examples of souls trapped in machines (Blue Destiny, Narrative, Iron Blooded Orphans and G-Witch again)
Hell even the ...

Been rewatching Den-O by watching it with a friend to introduce them to the franchise.
Now I chose Den-O because they're plural and as I started to learn more about DID from them, the more I noticed parallels with Den-O.

The most surprising thing is how well the show works as a DID metaphor ...

You got two hands don't you?

Originally I gave my sona Two Heads to show my, at the time, gender fluidity. One person, but one side more masculine and the other more feminine.

Then I became fully transfem so now I have two heads just for cuteness

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)

Let's blow out our eardrums ...

Kamen Rider and Super Sentai are two of my favorite series, my faves are W, Fourze, Ex-Aid, and Build for Rider, and Shinkenger, Gokaiger, Zenkaiger, Donbrothers, and Gozyuger for Sentai :3


Excellent choices for Kamen Rider, what about OOO since it's kinda part of a trio with W and Fourze ...

A bunch of previously Chinese exclusive MG recolors are now available on Premium Bandai and I'm AAAAAAAAAA

My Dad bought it at launch for full price
Pretty much just used it as an overbuilt DVD/Blueray player honestly

I am interested in trying its catalogue though, specifically Armored Core For Answer and Demon Souls

And for fun I want to mention the Condor Cluster, a Supercomputer built by the United ...

You have two hands. I have two heads. Petting perfection

Gonna be self indulgent here. I'm a big two headed dog and having an extra head is just FUN. New possibilities (and limitations) galore in art!

I played almost all of my time in Armored Core 6 on the thing

Got very noisy, very warm, and drained the battery quickly. But I don't remember suffering any performance problems.

As I've been doing watch parties with a friend to introduce her into Kamen Rider, I wonder if it's possible to do it on a larger stage with more people.

Either just a few episodes since an entire entry would be impractical, or maybe the Shin Kamen Rider movie by Hideaki Anno, the product of a true ...

Metroidvanias are my favorite genre of game (though ironically I still haven't played the original Castlevanias or most of the Metroid catalogue) due to just how alive their worlds can feel when done right.

While I've already made a thread on Nine Sols, I found it to be less of a Metroidvania and ...
