Chatzy Madness Volume 425: That's A Peko

Jumpropeman: right now, one of the biggest most important cards in the physical pokemon tcg... is budew
Gooper Blooper: let me look at one and see if I can figure out why
Jumpropeman: look at that MONSTER
Gooper Blooper: Well, if you need to stall against an opponent who can't fight back because they can't set up, that's pretty good, but one attack from just about anything kills it
Jumpropeman: the official pokemon website even made a page explaining it
Jumpropeman: i guess unless you also face a budew, you can set up your own crazy item strategies while the opponent is forced to just attack the little guy. 1 prize is a small price for getting something huge online
Gooper Blooper: "How do you counter Budew?"
Gooper Blooper: imagine the intense budew-v-budew lulls
Gooper Blooper: these thumbnails are spectacular
Gooper Blooper: another video description tells me that this is Budew's first card in 16 years
Jumpropeman: THREAT OR SAVIOR
Gooper Blooper: it was gathering power all this time
Jumpropeman: the funny thing is, it's so dominant, it might not be the last
Jumpropeman: apparently Tapu Lele was such an important card it gets thrown into sets now and then as a secret rare to pay tribute
Gooper Blooper: I know a lot of baby Pokemon took extended breaks from the TCG because they didn't know what to do with them
Jumpropeman: budew and cleffa show they are too powerful...
Gooper Blooper: Budew must have been caught up in that, made worse by being such an overlooked pogey, but... seriously, nothing for BDSP or Legends Arceus?
Gooper Blooper: found some guy's blogpost listing the top six best cards from the new set, and Budew is #1, but look who they picked for #2
Jumpropeman: THE BOY
Gooper Blooper: if your opponent DARES terastallize
Gooper Blooper: eat fuckin' three hundred and thirty damage
Jumpropeman: i love that the tcg can give underpowered pokemon their days in the sun
Jumpropeman: not sure if its outdated info but, looks like the highest natural hp in tcg is 340
Gooper Blooper attaches a single PlusPower
Jumpropeman: work your way up to this bad boy
Jumpropeman: then Regigigas smashes you to shards
Draco: Dang. 340 HP? That's almost enough to survive Base Set Charizard.
Gooper Blooper: 120 damage for one energy
Jumpropeman: at some point the card game realized getting a third evolution on the field can be pretty difficult so the energy costs went down for them
Jumpropeman: although that tyranitar's also ex tera so its even more overtuned

---

Jumpropeman: on pokemon presents, I was pretty excited when the mobile games were going by so quickly, leaving extra time for... announcing latin american spanish for like three minutes
Harpnaomi: yeah that was weird but i ain't gonna complain
Jumpropeman: its good, but it was part of me realizing how weird it is that pokemon presents has buttoned up businessmen talk so much
Jumpropeman: you'd think it would have a more kid-friendly energy or something
Harpnaomi: channeling their Larry energy

---

Harpnaomi: drg: anniversary event is live!
Draco: ROCK AND STONE
Jumpropeman: what's it entail
Harpnaomi: had to quit partway through a mining mission because i did not see any fucking morkite
Harpnaomi: do mission, get cool hat and materials
Harpnaomi: its a 4 mission assignment
Harpnaomi: also the pilot lost the fucking trophies again because OF COURSE
Harpnaomi: i want to see mission control fistfight the pilot
Jumpropeman: this guy
Jumpropeman: he doesn't know what a lock is
Harpnaomi: inb4 i make a plot about this guy
Harpnaomi: "help me collect all the trophies i dropped and i'll give you this jiggy"
Harpnaomi: oh god i found my mayplot already huh.
Jumpropeman: that's a real collectathon
Jumpropeman: collect thing to collect things
Harpnaomi: i have a cooler better idea for a mayplot than that but hey, nobody has a rule against having TWO mayplots
Draco: And then Cagliostro offers up a Jiggy to fight her...and nobody fights her.
Harpnaomi: only way you'll get someone to fight you is for you to be in the brawl
Harpnaomi: and even then...
Jumpropeman: everyone runs when they see cagliostro
Jumpropeman: turns out, it's never been about morals. She just has BO
Draco: Le gasp
Harpnaomi: shtinky

Draco: I HAVE BLOGGED. Do not ask me for anything until JUNE. Then you can ask me for something.
Jumpropeman: can i have a kit kat
Cornwind Evil: I want a drabble
Cornwind Evil: Can you tell me why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch?
Jumpropeman: can i have a blog from draco?
Cornwind Evil: I can haz cheseeburger?
Draco: NO. Not until JUNE.
Cornwind Evil: Good, I didn't want a cheeseburger anyway

---

Draco: Blog Cut Content: I considered writing a "Bad Ending" where everyone decides to fight Delilah and she gets defeated, Vyglass can't stop winning, etc. but I don't feel like it. :V
Jumpropeman: impossible, she had apollo on her side
Draco: That's why I don't feel like it! It'd be TOO implausible!
Jumpropeman: UNLIMITED POWER
Draco: Too OP
Jumpropeman: i love that it's attack is Slight Intrusion and does 10 damage to itself
Jumpropeman: what a powerhouse
Gooper Blooper: Well, I mean
Gooper Blooper: both of those clobbopus cards can oneshot Budew
Jumpropeman: counterplay discovered
Draco: Clobbopus stocks skyrocket 10000%

---

Jumpropeman: I have to give the creators of Freddy Farmer some credit. They liked and retweeted my review despite how overwhelmingly negative it was
Gooper Blooper: ahahah
Gooper Blooper: for some reason I had a bad feeling they'd barge into the comments to defend Freddy
Jumpropeman: waiting on mushrooms to waddle around is actually peak game design, dontchaknow
Gooper Blooper: "actually, you're just bad at freddy farmer" "literally number one in the world, sir"
Gooper Blooper: also, I could feel the Annalynn foreshadowing in that Freddy Farmer review
Jumpropeman: what other modern retro throwbacks could I mean...
Gooper Blooper: link
Jumpropeman: link link
Gooper Blooper: link link
Jumpropeman: anlyn
Gooper Blooper: anlyn

Draco: I went to see the new Gundam movie. I enjoyed it, but I'm still not thrilled with the random Evangelion-esque redesign of the titular mobile suit.
Draco: You:
Jumpropeman: the head confuses me
Gooper Blooper: "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX"
Gooper Blooper: Did someone fall asleep at their keyboard making the title of this thing
Gooper Blooper: Stay tuned for Mobile Suit Gundam kdsfbskfb sdfbadfkbkaf
Jumpropeman: GQuuuuuuX is my favorite alruthine
Draco: Yeah, I don't get the name either.

Jumpropeman: link
Gooper Blooper: the biggest, dewiest eyes and the sharpest, most horrible claws
Jumpropeman: get you the girl who can do both

(After JRM begins his "Month of Mario" Game Hoard review series with the obscure Mario's Bombs Away for Game & Watch)

Gooper Blooper: heading to bed, nite
Jumpropeman: night gooper
Jumpropeman: see you tomorrow for a mario game people have heard of-
Gooper Blooper: bing bing wahoo
Gooper Blooper left the chat
Jumpropeman: he speaks the ancient tongue...

---

Jumpropeman: I've seen a growing interpretation of the new Z-A hexy that I like
Jumpropeman: that it's not the original maniac aged up
hrapy: GOTH MOM GOTH MOM
Draco: Viola's mom shows up in Season 16 with Tenshi.
RubyChao: viola's mom has got it going on...
Ice Skating In Hell: She and Iliesh enter into a bitter feud
Ice Skating In Hell: Because goth moms operate under Highlander rules

---

Jumpropeman: just lean over and have her hair start spinning
Gooper Blooper: I do love a good drill...
Harpnaomi: BRRRRRRRR

Draco: link
Gooper Blooper: This gif in the related sidebar looks like it fell out of a 1999 GeoCities Pokemon fan page
Jumpropeman: cute
Jumpropeman: and you're right goop
Jumpropeman: it would be like, one of five handmade gifs on that page

Gooper Blooper: "Really had a lot of fun today and it was the most time I've sat down and purely dedicated to a video game in a long time. The game is very gripping and satisfying, and I really hope it finds its audience and grows from here. It's too good to not be recognized by at least a modest, dedicated fanbase.
Surely there's enough people like me out there who have been looking for a high quality, highly polished, well designed/balanced FPS game and who aren't particularly interested in the long running juggernaut IP offerings or the big F2P zeitgeist games either. This game, to me, is more compelling than pretty much any other mp FPS/shooting game out there right now. And it's such a bummer that it feels like people at large can't recognize its beauty."
RubyChao: so what's the plot twist
Gooper Blooper: They're talking about Concord
Jumpropeman: i had a hunch
Jumpropeman: you all will recognize its beauty during the plot this year
Gooper Blooper: stupid shower thought I had today: "I hope JRM doesn't make the Concords too likable so that there's more room on his roster for cute anime girls based on video games"
Yanked Across The Rubicon: What is the Concord plot even going to be about?
Gooper Blooper: We don't know
Gooper Blooper: that's the fun part
Gooper Blooper: JRM even said recently he hasn't been able to do a blog because his plans for the season are all over the place
Jumpropeman: who needs more video game girls
Gooper Blooper: My prediction is that Concord Plot will involve the Sony girls though because that just lines up too well with how the Video Game Girl Cycle usually goes
Yanked Across The Rubicon: It turns out we're just trying to help some people collect discontinued planes
Gooper Blooper: Meredith returns, now with an arm cannon
Jumpropeman: her new attack: she fires her book at people, then stresses a lot until she can get it back
Gooper Blooper: link
Draco: Gale's weapon: Meredith's cannon arm.
Jumpropeman: its always good to see a happy rachel
Gooper Blooper: and she's happy pretty often these days considering she gets to play video games with the love of her life every day
Jumpropeman: meredith has 24/7 access to someone to dork out with
Yanked Across The Rubicon: Dawn:...why don't you just load it with old phone books
Jumpropeman: because it wouldn't have SEGA POWER

(later)

Gooper Blooper: followup to yesterday: I skipped through the Concord forum thread I was reading that I got that quote from. Here's the same user upon learning of Concord's shutdown:
Gooper Blooper: "Matthew 7:6: Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces."
Draco: O_o
Jumpropeman: wait until that guy plays Any Other Game
Draco: So when do Mimi and R. Dorothy begin dating?
Jumpropeman: R. Dorothy is going to have to have a lot of patience
Jumpropeman: Mimi is still learning about the world
Jumpropeman: she thinks Concord is the best game for example
Gooper Blooper: He was legitimately getting to the point where he was claiming it was one of the best games ever made, yes
Gooper Blooper: Then he said he was so disillusioned by the gaming industry for what happened to Concord that after decades of gaming he was ready to just walk away from the hobby entirely. I checked the youtube channel he linked his Concord videos for though and he is still playing vidya to this day :V
Jumpropeman: im hoping its just a case of how on the internet, people tend to inflate their opinions. You can't just like or dislike, you got to love or hate

---

Gooper Blooper: link
Draco: ...is she okay?
Gooper Blooper: Jury's out.
Jumpropeman: she got hit by the zoomer ray

---

Jumpropeman: I'm getting a little worried for Gamefly. Almost all of the game in my queue are marked as Low or Very Low availability, even the weird games I doubt anyone else wants to rent.
Jumpropeman: of the 50 in my queue though, this one has High availability :V

---

Jumpropeman: BARAGON
Jumpropeman: ALSO ATTACK GODZILLA!
Gooper Blooper: Baragon: Capable of his own evil acts
Gooper Blooper: "When Mechagodzilla gets close to Godzilla he attacks the latter." As opposed to attacking himself.
Draco: I played that Godzilla Game Boy game. It sucked.
Jumpropeman: sounds like I'm in for a good time

(After JRM reviews Mario's Early Years: Preschool Fun for Month Of Mario)

Jumpropeman: AWW YEAH
Jumpropeman: GAMEPLAY
Jumpropeman: LEARNING
Jumpropeman: ANIMATIONS!
Jumpropeman: its worse than i remembered
Jumpropeman: only part of his mustache moves when he wiggles his nose
Gooper Blooper: Such a massive, bustling world this is, this Body World
Jumpropeman: that blastoise animation from the other day had more care put into it
Gooper Blooper: XD

(later)

Gooper Blooper: so JRM
Jumpropeman: ive thought about it... and realized how poor an idea it would be for my sake :V
Gooper Blooper: It's A Choice Of Parents World Wide!
Jumpropeman: technically more fun than an empty room!
Draco: One of the choices of all time.

---

Jumpropeman: wait
Jumpropeman: the main character of bocchi the rock is not bocchi
RubyChao: it's her nickname
Jumpropeman: okay phew
Jumpropeman: was worried she was about to fight aleins with Metroid and Halo
Jumpropeman: Bocchi's a pretty cool girl. She plays giutar and does afraid of everything
Draco: Bocchi has to go fight monsters with Zelda.
Harpnaomi: i mean naomi is very much inspired by bocchi's mannerisms
Harpnaomi: mostly because i like exaggerated anxiety/panique
Gooper Blooper: reminder that bocchi is kokoro's cousin-

(after a few days of JRM posting Peko pictures in chat, but only when Chao isn't around)

RubyChao: i'm gonna go to bed early to account for dst
RubyChao: night!
Gooper Blooper: nite chao
Draco: Bye Chao.
Jumpropeman: night chao
RubyChao left the chat
Jumpropeman primes the peko pics
Jumpropeman: link link link
Draco: The finest Pekos
Jumpropeman: white hair, red eyes, that's a peko
Draco: Truth.
Gooper Blooper: Wheeeeeeeeen theeeeeeeeee
Cow bites your neck and it sure hurts like heck
That's A Peko
(that's a pekoooo)
When you're good with a sword and beat Brinegirls with words
That's A Peko
(that's a pekoooo)
Jumpropeman: careful goop, chao might realize we like peko and bring her back next year!
Draco: Oh no :D
Draco definitely doesn't RP someone whose entire thing is selling swords to people with discounts to actual vampires.
Draco doesn't RP a down-on-their-luck farmer who needs someone connected to a magical Plantforce to save their soybean harvest.
Jumpropeman: are you talking about
Jumpropeman: Kirika
Draco: Kirika doesn't sell swords. She's a sellsword.
Jumpropeman: that's a peko is already trapped in my head
Gooper Blooper: good
Gooper Blooper: maybe your peko-loving mind will invent another verse
Gooper Blooper left the chat
Jumpropeman: how did he know I like peko...
Draco: Amazing...Goops is a psychic.

(later)

Cornwind Evil winces over Goops trying to rhyme sword and word.
Gooper Blooper: I am aware it was not a perfect fit but I did what had to be done
Brine: (that's a pekoooo)

Draco: Lobco will destroy us all.
Jumpropeman: unless
Jumpropeman brings out the butter

Jumpropeman: maybe one day I'll be able to listen to the terapagos theme normally again
Jumpropeman: all those emotions from the margit finale always well back up
Draco: Margit will fistfight Lysandre next year to save Yveltal and Xerneas or something. IDK.
RubyChao: aw dang!
RubyChao: sorry to hear that
Gooper Blooper: JUMPROPEMAN REUP
Jumpropeman: the real tragedy is losing videos like 87 Mudkip and 126 Bidoof
Jumpropeman: I reckon it was probably square enix who killed it, they don't like their final fantasy music online
Gooper Blooper: I've noticed they're even more ban-happy than Nintendo is, yeah
Jumpropeman: ive sometimes been tempted to make my own like, Relaxing Nintendo compilations, probably a good warning not to
Gooper Blooper: Not worth it, especially with Nintendo Music around
Jumpropeman: *opens Nintendo Music* *Sets Terapagos music to loop* *Dies from dehydration*
Jumpropeman legit wonders if I should add Terapagos theme to my Nintendo Music favorites
Harpnaomi: long as its not improperly looped
Jumpropeman: gonna wake up late at night like "Margie ; w ;"

RubyChao: irida was fun, it's too bad i never managed to work her into rp like i wanted to
Jumpropeman: oh, i didn't know about that
Gooper Blooper: can I show them, chao
Jumpropeman: she woulda said clovenix is a false god and be right
Draco: But then she'd also say Margit is a false god and need to be destroyed.
RubyChao: you can, goops
Gooper Blooper: link
Jumpropeman: egad!
Gooper Blooper: Chao had me draw her because he wanted her slightly redesigned
RubyChao: yeah, i had this concept where she'd use weighted bracelets as a fighting style
RubyChao: clobber people with extra heavy kicks and chops and such
Jumpropeman: the old version had too many noses
RubyChao: she was gonna be someone we found living in the far north, beyond the mountains
RubyChao: unfortunately i just never found the space to fit her in either year
Jumpropeman: aint that the way
Jumpropeman: she's dying
Jumpropeman: you think it's cute but she's dying
Gooper Blooper: I'm dying squirtle
RubyChao: can confirm goops, she would have still found it too hot sometimes
RubyChao: anyhow FREE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR
RubyChao: hope you enjoyed
Draco: What if...Irida vs Margit with their Pokemon ordering them around? XD
Gooper Blooper: I remember this joke with Margit vs Hazel
Gooper Blooper: Apollo and Gardetto wearing trainer outfits and doing charades to give commands
Draco rolled a die with 21 sides. The die showed: 14
Draco rolled a die with 21 sides. The die showed: 3
Draco: Margit wins.

Jumpropeman: ishmael looking like she's from a 2000s toy franchise

Gooper Blooper: new steam sale seemingly dropping tomorrow
Gooper Blooper: the Spring Sale to be precise
Jumpropeman: im not ready for her to be gone
Gooper Blooper: what will they use for theming without her
Gooper Blooper: link
Jumpropeman: what a friend
Gooper Blooper: link
Jumpropeman: precious
Gooper Blooper: link
Draco: Steam Delivery Girl will return in... Avengers: Endgame.
Gooper Blooper: It's easy to see why JRM likes her. She gives off heavy Miyoi vibes to me now that I think about it
Jumpropeman: miyoi's daughter-
Gooper Blooper: cute, friendly, brings you nice things, pink hair, animal-themed hat
Draco: Miyoi adopted a cute girl.
Jumpropeman: miyoi movie poster
Gooper Blooper: Miyoi Plot
Draco: Who are all those nobodies with her and Champion Marisa?

(later)

Jumpropeman: Steam had its most successful seasonal sales ever last year with a 10% increase over the previous year
Jumpropeman: I'm not saying delivery girl was responsible but...
Gooper Blooper: kek
Gooper Blooper: They've had artist spotlights for the big sales for a while now, but Steam Sale Girl was the one that really got traction and a following
Gooper Blooper: can't imagine why

Draco: Crim's favorite color is puce.
Phoneharpyz: Fucking disgusting
Phoneharpyz: its red actually but if you put a gun to his head and asked him… its still red

---

Jumpropeman: my dad gets packages of bakery samples (stuff like garlic bread and all) while he's away sometimes and I often need to put them on ice until he gets home. Today there was a delivery and the box was way too large for the freezer, so I open it to see what's inside and if it will fit individually and... it was golf balls. A bunch of packages of golf balls, and some backpacks. For some reason it was still marked on the box to keep frozen
Gooper Blooper: very important to freeze your golf balls
Harpnaomi: sometimes you need to keep the balls chill
Jumpropeman: the COOLest way to golf
Jumpropeman: I asked him about it and there's some sort of promotion going on involving golf but I didn't know that beforehand. Was legit wondering if they were like golf ball candies

Jumpropeman: "In this cyberpunk-themed linear visual novel, you take on the role of Jill the bartender during a 14-day time loop. While crafting drinks for customers is part of your job, the true challenge lies in unraveling the dark secrets hidden beneath this neon-lit world."
Draco: Jill, Professional Stingray.
Jumpropeman: in the future, all bars are run by a lady named Jill and named for mythological afterlives
RubyChao: time for my new bar
RubyChao: Field of Reeds
Gooper Blooper: wew lad, that looks really low effort...
Jumpropeman: "The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:
Drawing of vertical drawing using AI drawing. (Manual modification later)
Use AI for assisted text generation. (Manual proofreading later)
No Live-Generated AI content is used."
Gooper Blooper: welcome to elysium, we have a disco
Draco: My next bartender, Jill Sandwich.
Gooper Blooper: Nothing says cyberpunk like an ai-generated samurai power ranger
Gooper Blooper: there are certain games on JRM's steam wishlist I just can't bring myself to buy him because they don't even look funny-bad
Jumpropeman: i reckon many are halloween games
Jumpropeman: notably, i am not adding elysium to my wishlist :V
Jumpropeman: despite all appearances, i do have standards for it
Gooper Blooper: Yeah. Cinemoji: Halloween and Trick Or Treat are games I have scrolled past on many a steam sale
Gooper Blooper: "yes it's cheap, yes it's for haunted hoard, but... I just can't bring myself to give this publisher any money"
Jumpropeman: cinemoji halloween is there for the year I absolutely cannot find a game for october 31st otherwise
Jumpropeman: id probably buy the porn games before it :V
Jumpropeman: link
Gooper Blooper: When you said one of your Haunted Hoard rules was to always do a game with Halloween in its' title for the last review, I realized pretty quick from poking around that it meant you'd quickly be left with ending every Haunted Hoard with weak shovelware
Gooper Blooper: A lot of low-effort games use Halloween or Christmas in their names to attract attention from people searching those holidays in eshop search engines
Jumpropeman: it does make it exciting when I can find something like Savage Halloween instead
Gooper Blooper: Oh yeah, Savage Halloween and Halloween Forever were much more worthy
Gooper Blooper: but, of course, nothing beats
Gooper Blooper: King Of Halloween
Jumpropeman: you'll never believe how many bone puns this werewolf can make

Jumpropeman: my brother let my nearly 2 year old niece play her first video game
Jumpropeman: it was Banjo Kazooie
Jumpropeman: she enjoyed walking around Banjo's house, pointing at all the stuff in there
Gooper Blooper: On one hand, excellent choice
Jumpropeman: she managed to go outside twice, talk to bottles, then go back home
Gooper Blooper: On the other hand, I can't help but feel like someone young enough you could still talk about their age in months is going to get much out of it
Jumpropeman: he said mainly it was to see if she can start understanding the relationship between controller and on-screen visuals
Gooper Blooper: Tootie can wait until your niece is, like, five or something
Jumpropeman: like, if he told her to walk around, she would stand up and move in real life instead :V
Draco: I think she's ready for Doom.
Jumpropeman: play doom on the baby monitor
Gooper Blooper: Hey, JRM's niece! LET'S - GO - TO - BODY - WORLD!
Jumpropeman: she's going to love mario's """""stomp""""!
Gooper Blooper: "Touch your chin!" *one frame of animation ensues*
Jumpropeman: ARE YOU NOT AMUSED, CHILD?
Gooper Blooper: Well, if she's going to be PICKY, I suppose we can call on Shrek to teach her about diphthongs
Draco: Now get her to play that IGN favorite, Imagine Party Babiez.
Gooper Blooper: Another one of those lost games that JRM played too early to review...
Jumpropeman: if only I had never played any video games before starting the hoard...
Gooper Blooper: someday we'll get that Superman 64 disaster report
Gooper Blooper: we wuz robbed
Jumpropeman: Guy who has only played Imagine Party Babyz playing his second video game: Getting a lot of 'Imagine Party Babyz' vibes from this...
Gooper Blooper: XD

Gooper Blooper: still at it
Gooper Blooper: big as life

Gooper Blooper: they're expanding
Harpnaomi: ONE EIGHT SEVEN SEVEN KARS 4 KIDS
Harpnaomi: "voucher not available in oregon"
Gooper Blooper: FUCK YOU, OREGON

Gooper Blooper: I've been reading old Chatzy Madnesses lately and I have some updates on things we talked about five years ago
Gooper Blooper: Jumpropeman: you know
-Jumpropeman: in 5 years
-Jumpropeman: Madden 25 is gonna face the issue that there is already a Madden 25
-Jumpropeman: i bet they wont bother changing the name
-N Goat: Why is there a Madden 25?
-N Goat: Regale us with this tale
-Jumpropeman: it was the 25th anniversary of the series so instead of calling it Madden 2014 that year, they went with 25
Gooper Blooper: Next item: The Gentle Bear. This page on The Dog Island's fan wiki earned its' spot in Chatzy Madness for the very silly article image where someone MSpainted the butt of the bear because they didn't have a full body image
Gooper Blooper: As it turns out, though, the article originally had a proper full-body image, and a few years after this work of art was made, the picture was changed to another, different full-body image
Gooper Blooper: The body of the article, however, was perfect and so has received no changes in all this time (except to fix a link).
Gooper Blooper: You have honey !
Gooper Blooper: and finally, presented without further comment is this moment from 2019
Gooper Blooper: Harpy: ivel marry me
-Harpy: right now
-ivel: okay :U
-Harpy: just fuckin do it
-ivel: I do
-Harpy: I LOVE HOW NON-HESITANT YOU ARE
-ivel: of course :U
-Harpy: is a ring pop a suitable replacement for a wedding ring
-Gooper Blooper: XD
-ivel: for me, yes
-ivel: just don't expect me not to eat the ring
Jumpropeman joined the chat
RubyChao: hi jrm
Jumpropeman: ivel had to save up for the best ring pop
Jumpropeman: hi
Gooper Blooper: hi JRM, you're just in time for football and Gentle Bear news
Jumpropeman: Gentle Bear belongs in the Louvre
Draco: Football? :D
Jumpropeman: Madden 25 (2024) not Madden 25 (2014)
Gooper Blooper: yearly sports releases are a good example of "consume game and then forget about it forever"
Gooper Blooper: as far as EA supposes, there is no reason to ever even think about the 2014 edition of Madden ever again
Gooper Blooper: it's been replaced ten times over!
RubyChao: i've always been low-key interested in realistic sports games but it's hard to want to look into them when all the modern ones are busy being stuffed full of lootboxes and always online and the like
RubyChao: and i'm just interested in "can play football, but in video game form"
Gooper Blooper: Perhaps a Gamecube-era or 360-era sports title would work
Jumpropeman: before they plateaued
Gooper Blooper: we have to go back
RubyChao: yeah, maybe i'll grab a used madden '08 or something
Gooper Blooper: back to the 2000s...
Gooper Blooper: Chao plays Atari Football, flails at a trackball
Jumpropeman: accidentally reblogged the flat knuckles car to my pokemon tumblr last night instead of my goofy one
Jumpropeman: i hope they weren't too shocked
Gooper Blooper: Flat Knuckles Hot Wheels belongs in the Louvre right next to Gentle Bear
Jumpropeman: this is the only way to make him a car
Draco: "I don't feel so good, Doctor Eggman."
Jumpropeman: Knuckles car is relevant to Pokemon, both appear in a smash bros. Q.E.D.

Gooper Blooper: pfffft

Gooper Blooper: never forget
Jumpropeman: somewhere out there, she's adulting like a pro
Jumpropeman: just don't actually check in and prove that statement wrong
Gooper Blooper: *smash cut to Shimmer spinning around in her office chair while flailing her arms*
RubyChao: she is so adult
Draco: SO adult.

Hooded Pitohui: I've been enjoying the Month of Mario picks. Good, thorough reads
Jumpropeman: thanks! Glad to hear it. *adds Officially Endorsed By The Mario Wiki to the banner*

Gooper Blooper: Another old Chatzy Madness discovery: JRM, you've got competition
Jumpropeman: how dare

---

Jumpropeman: gentlemen
Jumpropeman: this is not a drill
Gooper Blooper: no fucking way
Jumpropeman: the original was published by beloved company GameMill, so it probably just took a small chunk of change to make happen
Gooper Blooper: and it looks like an exact port with no attempt to improve it at all
Gooper Blooper: Good.
Jumpropeman: I was a bit worried it might try to fix it, but one screenshot being the You're Winner! shows they know what the people want
Gooper Blooper: Imagine getting an early review key for this.
Jumpropeman: the trailer even shows them racing straight through buildings

Gooper Blooper: What a villain
RubyChao: i've pretty much given up on even trying to pretend ulimaroa central are evil
just gonna be totally open about this being more equal competition, opposing sports teams
Gooper Blooper: I'm taking a kinda-but-not-really similar approach with Horus Corp. It's definitely not the same because Hoshii is too entrenched in RP, unlike the Baron's group which doesn't have such deep ties to the Kobbers, but Ankha is not a villain, more of a sitcom arch-nemesis. Horus may not be 100% squeaky-clean but it's not gonna be an evil organization packed with baddies to punch. Maybe, like, two.
Gooper Blooper: and both of them are Lobco
Gooper Blooper: link
Harpnaomi: naomi will punch anhka if needed.
Portable Draco joined the chat
Portable Draco: Did someone say Punch Lobco? :D
Portable Draco: Punch Lobco to save our friend Griff?
Harpnaomi: i will murder griff with my bare hands
Portable Draco: But why? He's totally gone legit. :D
Harpnaomi: >:I
Portable Draco: :3

RubyChao: guys i think i know what this particular ufo 50 game is going for vibes-wise.
RubyChao: just a thought
RubyChao: a hunch
Draco: Looks like a spiritual sequel to Kong: Survival Instinct.
Gooper Blooper: Getting a lot of 'Imagine Party Babyz' vibes from this...
RubyChao: ahahahaha it even has overheated rooms
Gooper Blooper: chao was not expecting a new metroid in his latest game

---

Jumpropeman: i saw you were papering, please earlier
Jumpropeman: "4 mins played recently"
Jumpropeman: you played hard, chao-
RubyChao: been adhding today :V
RubyChao: and ufo 50 remains tempting
RubyChao: i'm trying to play things that aren't that but when it's a pile of games in one...

Gooper Blooper: heading out, nite
RubyChao: nighto
Cornwind Evil: Ugh. I thought I was awake, but I'm not, so I am also off. Later as well
Gooper Blooper: don't you hate it when you're absolutely certain you were awake but it turns out you were asleep the whole time?
Gooper Blooper: it's absolutely zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Marty-o Sheep joined the chat
Cornwind Evil: Sheep?
Cornwind Evil: You actually there?
Marty-o Sheep: No
Marty-o Sheep: You're still on the plane
Marty-o Sheep: Return the slab and end the curse
Marty-o Sheep: Yes, I'm here
Cornwind Evil: I returned the curse instead
Marty-o Sheep: :I
Cornwind Evil: It ended the slab
Marty-o Sheep: Darn. That was a good slab too.
Marty-o Sheep: Hard to find a slab of that quality.
RubyChao: hi sheep!!!!
RubyChao: sheeeep
Cornwind Evil: I said that because I recently saw something that made me go "This must be recommended to Sheep."
RubyChao: my beloved
RubyChao: my friend
Marty-o Sheep: Hull
Marty-o Sheep: -0
Cornwind Evil: Chao, he's won a Brawl, you don't have to pretend to care any more
RubyChao: but who will watch anime with me if i don't?

Harpnaomi: i am still trying to make up "the perfect beginning and decent pacing"
Marty-o Sheep: Perfect beginning, Harpy:

Harpnaomi: we're not doing that
Marty-o Sheep: I bet you're wondering how I got here-
Harpnaomi: >:(

RubyChao: Tenshi.
Marty-o Sheep considers Tenshi
Marty-o Sheep: . . .
Marty-o Sheep disregards Tenshi

Draco: Sheep is real?
Marty-o Sheep: The real sheep is in your heart
Marty-o Sheep: sucking on your nutrients

Jumpropeman: was looking up the bravely ost to listen to on youtube, but it was on the old laptop so the keys didn't work the best. My typoed version of Bravely Default turned into youtube thinking I was asking for "bevel dewalt", which apparently is a circular saw

Draco: Clownpiece from the Edgy Gothverse.
PURIFY WEIRD SOUL: Alternately the universe where the Lord possessed Clownpiece instead.
PURIFY WEIRD SOUL: She was such a hassle to possess it took him fifteen years to get his plan in motion
PURIFY WEIRD SOUL: Then she expelled him in the middle of it and ate him
PURIFY WEIRD SOUL: Lord: This timeline sucked
Draco: Clownpiece: I liked it.
Jumpropeman: claire sees that and thinks "that's hot"
Jumpropeman: clownpiece dancing with mr. chips-

RubyChao: switch nintendo direct tomorrow
Gooper Blooper: I feel like they should have done this last month instead of cramming it right next to the Switch 2 Direct, but Nintendo gotta Nintendo
Jumpropeman: keeping my expectations in check, by which I mean they'll announce the Pokemon Collection which contains every version on one cartridge
Jumpropeman: who's ready for Mario Sports Superstars 2?

---

Jumpropeman: oh wow, didn't know that was the splendid source
Gooper Blooper: Mimi gets a lot of hate and I understand why but
Gooper Blooper: she cute tho
Jumpropeman: when she first caught on she was everywhere, now we can only hope for the occasional fan art from time to time...
Gooper Blooper: I see new Mimis pop up pretty often but a lot of them are just "pose the 3D model, usually sexily" instead of drawn art
Gooper Blooper: she's got the intelligence, which I'm told is rare for her-
Jumpropeman: if she was supposed to think, she would have been a calculator

---

Jumpropeman: *searches rantabi food wars hoping for new fan art*
"Including results for: hentai food wars"
Bing pls
Jumpropeman: the funny thing is I have safe search on, so it then says "blocking some results due to safe search"
Jumpropeman: "we googled hentai on your behalf, then blocked it :)"
Draco: lol

Daganronpa:The Murder: Today’s book of the day is The Vagina Bible

Draco: Well, that's a new one for me, JRM.
Jumpropeman: old ads really went all out in the weirdest ways
Gooper Blooper: That ad is glorious
Gooper Blooper: love the old-school practical effects
Jumpropeman: they just kept introducing more and more aliens!
RubyChao: i did NOT expect that
RubyChao: i was thinking clothing for a while
Draco: I initially thought it was a toy commercial.
Gooper Blooper: I had forgotten that cigarette commercials were already banned by the 80s and thought maybe it was an ad for Marlboro because the lead guy looks like a cowboy (The Marlboro Man)

---

Jumpropeman: lately, i've discovered a way to have an even worse sleep schedule
Jumpropeman: the past few days, I go to bed at midnight, sleep for four hours, then wake up and then go to sleep at noon and sleep for four more hours
Draco: Nice?
Jumpropeman: it's working so far I think
Jumpropeman: it might actually be better for my caregiver stuff, but I also worry one day my body will be like "actually you've been sleep deprived the whole time, sleep for a whole day you doofus"
Draco: And that day will be JULY 10TH.
RubyChao: i've always expected that to happen to me jrm
RubyChao: i feel like someday i'm going to complete every task on my plate and feel like i have absolutely no expectations at the moment or anything to worry about
RubyChao: and then i'm going to keel over and sleep for thirty hours
Jumpropeman: they call that retirement-
Gooper Blooper: I like how the timing for that lines up with the Brawl. The Brawl is posted from 4 PM JRM time to around 11. So he would wake up, immediately start posting the Brawl, continue doing it for hours on end, finish, talk about it for a bit with everyone as we thank him and file out, and then flop back into bed
Jumpropeman: as long as I got all the scanning done beforehand, I'd be fine with that
Jumpropeman: some years I'm scanning like, a half hour before the show :V

---

Jumpropeman: link link
Gooper Blooper: JRM with Cordie is like when a cat doesn't want to go outside until you close the door
Jumpropeman: she will show up in rp next year and I won't RP with her at all, then beg for her to come back in 2026

PhoneJade: it was mothers day in da UK
PhoneJade: we took mum to a nice brunch place and bought her a bottle of rum
PhoneJade: it was a good experience
Cornwind Evil: Strange, wonder why it's at the end of March there
PhoneJade: it kinda just is
PhoneJade: idk some things diverged after y'all crossed the pond
RubyChao joined the chat 2 hours ago
PhoneJade: howdy chaody
Cornwind Evil: That reminds me of my dad recounting his first experience watching television
Cornwind Evil: Via the Howdy Doody show
Cornwind Evil: 🎵"It's Howdy Doody time, it's Howdy Doody time..."🎵
PhoneJade: unfortunately due to my terminal internet poisoning, THAT reminds me of a YouTube poop that opens on Robotnik singing the howdy doody show theme
RubyChao: i like how there's some youtube poop lines that remain in our heads forever
PhoneJade: absolutely
RubyChao: my personal one is that there's a final fantasy parody poop where at one point morshu attacks our heroes by dropping a bomb on them, while saying "BOMB? YOU WANT IT? IT'S YOURS, MY FRIEND"
RubyChao: and now that plays in my head every time i bomb something in a game
PhoneJade: I think the one I recall most often is just Robotnik yelling "SCROINDER, WHERE ARE YOU?" down a phone which I use with SK sometimes

Daganronpa:The Murder: So I was doing FFXIV daily’s with a friend and we were doing Neir Raids
Cornwind Evil: As opposed to Nier raids, where you collect inexplicably sexualized robots with blindfolds
Daganronpa:The Murder: Thanks CW
Daganronpa:The Murder: Anyways there was a mechanic were you had to transfer tethers to the tank.
Daganronpa:The Murder: I’m running around in a panic because I don’t remember the mechanic and manage to gather three tethers
Daganronpa:The Murder: I eat shit.
Daganronpa:The Murder: Unfortunately I am on stream, so several people see
Daganronpa:The Murder: One of them start laughing their ass off
Cornwind Evil: I am reminded of Sludgefist in WOW
Cornwind Evil: I really didn't like that boss

Gooper Blooper: I return with more five-year-old chatzy madness moments that are funnier in hindsight
Gooper Blooper: Monday Sheep reads Cats reviews...
-Monday Sheep: "I felt the light inside me slowly fading." says one review.
-Jumpropeman: sounds like its gonna be great!
-Jumpropeman: im tired of all this light in my soul
-Monday Sheep: I expect this film will have a cult following of sorts several years from now
-Monday Sheep: ...
-Monday Sheep: SEVERAL years from now.
-Jumpropeman: prepare for the ironic memes in 2025
RubyChao: Monday Sheep: "I felt the light inside me slowly fading." says one review.
-Jumpropeman: sounds like its gonna be great!
-Jumpropeman: im tired of all this light in my soul
RubyChao: I love how every time I read this part speciifcally in the voices of Sam and Max, respectively
RubyChao: It feels like a genuine interaction you could see in the game as they read a funny background newspaper
Gooper Blooper: I remember the first time you made that observation, I think I'll see it in a later madness
RubyChao: ha! nice
Gooper Blooper: (after Stella's debut in a blogpost)
-Jumpropeman: ok cat boomer
-Jumpropeman: goop gonna rp the entire valhalla cast
-Jumpropeman: sei confirmed to exist, we're in best timeline
-Morag Sheep: At last, the true hero cat appears.
-Gooper Blooper: The true hero cat is Fore.
-ivel: I thought it was Maple
Jumpropeman: when maple used to mean a cat in rp, not a pancake
Gooper Blooper: and, of course
Gooper Blooper: Jumpropeman: when does Marisa appear in RP again to try and REALLY make her mark this time
Jumpropeman: and we never saw her do so
Jumpropeman: really, sounds like I need to make more predictions
Jumpropeman: Ankha is going to last five years in rp as well-

---

Jumpropeman: pls nerf
Draco: No can do. That is a CANON POWER and she'll use it someday.
Jumpropeman: at least she doesn't have a book-like aura
Gooper Blooper: What about Daiyousei's new lore tho
Cornwind Evil: I wager Gloria has a book-like aura

---

Jumpropeman: how she gonna kiss
Jumpropeman: she has no mouth
Jumpropeman: I Have No Mouth and I Must Kiss
Gooper Blooper: how about a kiss, for luck
RubyChao: you've GOT to be kidding
Gooper Blooper: :3c

Jumpropeman: here's a blorg
Harpnaomi: Crim has a competitor?!?
Jumpropeman: a competitor who can be hired by antagonists
Jumpropeman: probably not straight up villains though
Harpnaomi: finally, a worthy opponent
Cornwind Evil: Dawn: -immediately hired Concord so she can test them against the first big danger that shows up-
Harpnaomi: Crim: ...Really?
Brine: The heroes Ulimaroa needs!
Jumpropeman: *all sixteen members die to Meanest Wiener Senior*
RubyChao: understood, Ulimaroa Central will hire Concord
Cornwind Evil: Dawn: YOU are established. I know you're quality. I just want to see if they are
RubyChao: Pure evil.
Cornwind Evil: Dawn: You can't be in two places at once, after all, (Crim's real name that I forgot)
Cornwind Evil: Dawn: Plus, I'm doing it with Kobbers. I trusted you and (damn it who was Crim's water fairy friend my brain keeps producing the name Hannah who is the Brinegirl)
Harpnaomi: He didn't tell her.
Brine: Crimbert
Harpnaomi: But out of character its Zamir Hakeem
Harpnaomi: He's Crimmothy, sir
Cornwind Evil: Ah. Dawn considers real names respectful, but if he's the kind that keeps that card close then yes, she'd just call him Crim.
Cornwind Evil: Crimey Crim
Cornwind Evil: Good at invading palaces
Harpnaomi: He's very particular about his real name and he only gives it to people he truly trusts
Cornwind Evil: (Mixing Tiny Tim from Scrooge and 'nasty crimeboys' from Persona 5)
Harpnaomi: that list includes Fiona, Pearls, and Sivvy
Cornwind Evil: Dawn: I trusted you and Fiona (I am fairly sure it was her) with that druid and that dinosaur. The last one alone, even.
Cornwind Evil: Dawn:....sorry about that
RubyChao: unforgivable
Jumpropeman: making a list of ways to blow her up
RubyChao: and wow nobody's done fanart of Fredrick's faceclaim
RubyChao: my chain... broken...

(later)

Jumpropeman: my next megaplot
Jumpropeman: PS5 sees the ad, pays for six months arcade protection-
Gooper Blooper: She feels incredibly drawn to them for some reason
Gooper Blooper: "Girls... this is the future of PlayStation."
Jumpropeman: Fiona taking notes for the inevitable ultimate I Told You So
Gooper Blooper: link link
Jumpropeman: come on sony, you brought morbius back to theaters for the meme. do it for concord too
Gooper Blooper: link
Jumpropeman: petition clearly from that one guy who thought concord was the game he finally needed
Draco: LOL

Gooper Blooper: link
Draco: lol
Jumpropeman: it's called nintendo switch 2, so it should be 2 dollars
Jumpropeman: its just good advertising
RubyChao: i still like the theory that switch 2 is named switch 2 because nintendo looked at the wii vs wii u confusion and went no
RubyChao: Not Again.
Gooper Blooper: gotta sell the system at a loss and make it up with games
Gooper Blooper: Apparently the Switch 2 was almost called "Super Nintendo Switch"
Gooper Blooper: The official line for why they did not use that name was "but Switch 2 can play Switch 1 games, and SNES could not play NES games"
Gooper Blooper: a very nintendo reason
Jumpropeman: people would have called it Super Switch
Jumpropeman: which sounds like a name for a fairly oddparents episode

Gooper Blooper: fun fact: today broke a 34-day streak of Game Hoard reviews (Feb 28th, Month of Mario, JRM always does an extra review on April 1, and then April 2's normal review)
Jumpropeman: i definitely felt it. Kept feeling like something I forgot to do today
Jumpropeman: maybe Year of Games wouldn't be so hard
Gooper Blooper: Just do what you just did except 11 more times
Gooper Blooper: easy peasy
50 Shady Graves: I feel we wouldn't get brawl though
Gooper Blooper: by the end of it a delirious JRM is resorting to posting reviews for individual Sonic McDonald's LCD games and Maractus' Blooming Blossoms
Jumpropeman: a lot more game and watch reviews that year
Jumpropeman: I usually have around 100 reviews in the chamber at present, but like, right now I'm playing an rpg so that slows things down
Gooper Blooper: the sakuya dab game AND the nitori cucumber DLC getting a separate review
Jumpropeman: i need to find that one european soccer game that had a unique release for a bunch of different soccer teams. Play it once, name swap for each team

Jumpropeman: link
Gooper Blooper: It's so weird that Flintstones became associated with vitamins. Like normally this would be one of those brief promotions where the vitamins change shape to a new Current Hotness licensed property every few months
Gooper Blooper: But they just... stuck with Flintstones. Forever. Decades past their relevance.
Jumpropeman: kids surprised the vitamins and cereal cavemen once had a show
Jumpropeman: beloved mascot
Gooper Blooper: creative name
Jumpropeman: they made sure to reserve that copyright
Jumpropeman: people were gonna be all over him otherwise
RubyChao: flintstones...
Cornwind Evil: Some things just stick
Cornwind Evil: Eggo Waffles has never changed its tagline, for example

---

Jumpropeman: must've been one heck of a slip
Cornwind Evil: He slipped and fell into a blender
Jumpropeman: supposedly it was going to be part of the title sequence before they thought better of it
Jumpropeman: you don't need to see him get maimed every week
Gooper Blooper: brown bricks
Jumpropeman: why goop
Cornwind Evil: Brown bricks?

Jade HAS the Swoo: i preordered switch 2

Gooper Blooper: Jumpropeman: huh
-Jumpropeman: apparently the Sega Nomad is uniquely American
-Jumpropeman: it never got released elsewhere
-Jumpropeman: no wonder there's no Hard Girl for it :P
-Draco: Better ask Goops to make one for you.
Jumpropeman: it took a while but he delivered
Jumpropeman: be still my heart
Jumpropeman: that one would be easy enough to edit into a rachel

Gooper Blooper: link
Jumpropeman flips through the rolodex to see who would date a cute miner
Gooper Blooper: Lennox
Jumpropeman: lennox going to be beating the girls back with sticks
Jumpropeman: because they're trying to kill him on sight-
Draco: Nobody can date Momoyo. She's already in love with Pepsi.
Gooper Blooper crosses "Cordie X Momoyo" off the potentials list
Jumpropeman crosses Pepsi X Phil off the potentials list
Gooper Blooper: I legit did consider seeing how Cordie and Momoyo would gel last year when planning a Cordie return
Gooper Blooper: then JRM fell head over heels in love with her
Gooper Blooper: now it's Cordie X JRM-
Jumpropeman: c'mon
Jumpropeman: I'm not down that bad
Jumpropeman: unrelated
Gooper Blooper: this is where I would post that spongebob meme of him showing Patrick five million dirty diapers except it's pictures of cordie

Guns Dont Go There: Besides May, have any other Guilty Gear characters been claimed
Jumpropeman: faust, kum haehyun
Jumpropeman: baiken
Guns Dont Go There: I am surprised by none of these
Guns Dont Go There: Actually, why hasn't Bridget been claimed yet?
Guns Dont Go There: Or Elpha? They're the cutest girls in the whole roster
Draco: That big guy, Potem-something. The guy who can't stop winning.
RubyChao: the main guilty gear person here is sheep who is not driven in the slightest by cute girls
RubyChao: that is why
Guns Dont Go There: The one who I was shocked to discover has a face
Jumpropeman: goldlewis as well
Guns Dont Go There: Yeah thats totally a sheep charcter
Jumpropeman: goldlewis was draco!
Guns Dont Go There: Nevermind
Jumpropeman: admittedly, you ain't wrong :V
Guns Dont Go There: I should note my current fav Guilty Gear charcter is Bedman
Draco: Sheep would RP Goldlewis if he weren't so busy being Goldlewis. Or something.
Harpnaomi: i'm a sucker for sol badguy
Guns Dont Go There: we can tell
Guns Dont Go There looks at Crim
Harpnaomi: that was actually unintentional
Harpnaomi: but thats how it worked out
Gooper Blooper joined the chat
Gooper Blooper: Ramlethal wasn't mentioned in the guilty gear RP roll call so I'll mention her here
Guns Dont Go There: That makes sense
Gooper Blooper: she's one of mine, currently active even
Jumpropeman: i didn't even realize how many there were
Jumpropeman: probably because ive never played guilty gear
Jumpropeman: now if you asked me for every Princess In Love character in RP, I got that covered
Cornwind Evil: The fact that Goops mentioned some girl was mad that her anchor was stolen and I went "May from Guilty Gear?" shows I know way too much about random video games
Cornwind Evil: Also I used Robo-Ky as a faceclaim for a Beckett robot clone but he only appeared briefly so Robo-Ky itself is still theoretically claimable

Jumpropeman: where game devs basically ask people to roast their game to help with development
Jumpropeman: not sure I like the hostility of the comments, but this does have that energy of that hypothetical guy every company should have who just comes in and can be honest when things look bad
Jumpropeman: or alternatively, the five year old who points out the obvious thing everyone else is missing
Jumpropeman: was hoping to find cool indies here but it seems like a lot of untitled projects or wips
Gooper Blooper: "Drive with precision, jump and speed up your way on this exiting conveyor-belt platformer."
Gooper Blooper: Exiting.
Jumpropeman: the follow up I never expected to see
Gooper Blooper: OH MY GOD
Gooper Blooper: I thought of the possibility, but like, as a joke
Gooper Blooper: and then I clicked the dev's name
Jumpropeman: you know what they say
Jumpropeman: Everybody Loves Skeletons!
Draco: The dev is...DEL? I dunno.
Jumpropeman: "Everybody Loves Skeletons is an interesting platform, that has a fluid handling and invites you to play it, as the only thing is that it has no history, they should add a small one, history would add more interest to future buyers."
Jumpropeman: I hope Bony Odyssey has more history
Jumpropeman: Everybody Loves Skeletons gave us beloved Salvager, Skeleton in a Hat
Gooper Blooper: He was part of Claire's anti-Lord gang, the gang that all died except her
Cornwind Evil: Lord: So you can thank ME for your wife, clown dragon.
Cornwind Evil: Lord:...AND STOP CHEWING ON ME I'M RETIRED
RubyChao: hey now
RubyChao: paintmaster sheo survived!
RubyChao: but not the Drifter
RubyChao: alas......
Gooper Blooper: RIP
RubyChao: if i hadn't killed him off I would have absolutely had him show up in whalestrand at least once
RubyChao: just for the similarity
Draco: These days, the Lord calls the Sugar Mages to save him from Clownpiece.
Cornwind Evil: Remember when the Sugar Mages beat up Ash?
Cornwind Evil: Pepperidge Farm rememebers
Jumpropeman: there is something beautiful about this developer coming back 6 years later to make a similar game
Jumpropeman: he really wants a hat wearing skeleton platformer game to work out
RubyChao: honestly, i really hope it's good and successful
Gooper Blooper: they're gonna get it right this time
RubyChao: i want to see those six years be their training arc
RubyChao: we may poke fun at many games that are not good, but many of them were made with passion, and if that passion inspires a second pass that's all around better
RubyChao: i think that's a good thing
Jumpropeman: I remember being a little giddy when I was playing the second Case Files game and being like "dang, the creator actually learned their lessons from the first one!"
Jumpropeman: link link
Gooper Blooper: Yeah, there's a big difference between games like, say... Nicktoons: Freeze Frame Frenzy, where it's a shoddy product meant to get money from kids and parents who see licensed characters they recognize and going "I know that show!"
Gooper Blooper: and games like A Dream Of Burning Sand, where the dev poured their heart into a passion project, it's just that it wasn't very good
Gooper Blooper: to use two examples from JRM's hoard library
Jumpropeman: I'd definitely like the Dream of Burning Sand people to give it another go

Cornwind Evil: "Napoleon Bonaparte's Imperial Guard regularly went into battle while singing a jolly little song about onions."
Cornwind Evil: Loosely translated, the song went: "We love onions fried with oil, let's charge, the onions change us into a lion, let's charge, but no onion for those Austrian bastards, let's charge."
