I would have made so much fan art of Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass already if I had an ounce of artistic skill. One of the other Twitch streamers I follow also played it and put some cool art of an upcoming boss on the side of his second stream.

TODAY'S GONNA BE A GOOD MOTHERFUCKIN' DAY!!!
Jimmy looks adorable as a grumble bear.

Okay, now let's talk about the full party we've got going.

Jimmy
I am eight years old. I like video games, coloring, and Mom, Dad, Buck, and Uncle Lars.
Personality: Empathetic. You can be like others if you know how they feel. Allows use of imagination abilities.
Imagination: Six customizable ability slots, two of which carry over to all of Jimmy's forms.

Everybody except Jimmy gets two slots for Manuals, which allows you to customize their fifth and sixth abilities. I'll talk more about Manuals when we get some interesting ones.

Buck
Buck listens to music that hurts my head. Buck works out and can pick me up with one hand.
Personality: Brash. Sometimes you just can't stop punching. 25% chance of hitting twice when attacking.
Nerd Bash:
Bully (5 MP): Utilize your brawn to hide your low self-esteem. 150% physical damage.
Insult (0 MP): Target an enemy's feelings. Startle the target for one turn.
Inner Rage (5 MP): You can only be pushed so far until you snap. ATK +50%, but you can't control your actions.
Magnificent Combo (15 MP): Perform a magnificent combo! 300% physical damage; two-turn cooldown.

Helga
Helga is my mom's name. She is pretty and has a pretty singing voice.
Personality: Optimistic. Never let anything get you down! Immune to common status effects.
Mothering:
High Five (10 MP): Give a friend a high five to boost their confidence. Heal 50% of max HP.
Comforting Smile (15 MP): Show the party that everything will work out. Heal 25% of the party's HP.
Mental Clarity (5 MP): Focus your mind to purify your body. Heal common status effects to one ally.
Pep Talk (15 MP): Talk excitedly about life. Recover an unconscious ally to 25% health.

Jonathon Bear
Jonathon Bear lives in a forest with his animal friends. Jonathon Bear is filled with stuffing and can talk.
Personality: Supportive. You care about your friends more than anything. Doubles the effects of items.
Funducation:
High Five (10 MP): Give a friend a high five to boost their confidence. Heal 50% of max HP.
Sunshine (8 MP): Bathe your opponent in warm, dangerous UV rays. 150% magical damage; double damage to undead.
Natural Alarm (5 MP): An early riser has no empathy for those who sleep in. Wake all sleeping party members.
Energize (? MP): Convert your mana to usable energy. Give 50% of your current MP to an ally.

And of course Jimmy has a couple of new forms to play around with now:

Red-Billed Squawker
(Lv 05) Hyperactivity (5 MP): Use your God-given right to go nuts. Doubles Jimmy's agility and MP cost for one turn; instant.
(Lv 10) Natural Alarm (5 MP): An early riser has no empathy for those who sleep in. Wake all sleeping party members.
(Lv 15) Early Riser: Every day you get up at the crack of dawn to annoy your neighbors. Immune to sleep (other than self-inflicted).
(Lv 25) Flighty: Sometimes you don't know where you're going, but you'll get there fast! AGI +50%.
(Lv 40) Elaborate Dance (8 MP): The unpredictable movements make you a hard target. Dodge all attacks for one turn; one-turn cooldown.
(Lv 50) Annoying Squawk (0 MP): A loud shriek that's so annoying that the enemy can't think. Startle the target for one turn.

Instant skills take effect immediately after you select them and don't count as the party member's action for that turn.

Grumble Bear
(Lv 05) Afternoon Nap (8 MP): Battles are tough--how about a little break? Heal 100% of own HP but self-induce sleep.
(Lv 10) Rampage (10 MP): A physically taxing attack. 500% physical damage; self-inflicts stun.
(Lv 15) Fierce Growl (10 MP): A primal roar so loud it injures your opponents. 100% physical damage to all enemies.
(Lv 25) Sharp Claws: Great for cutting fruit. Terrible for picking up potato chips. ATK +50%.
(Lv 40) Head-on Collision (10 MP): Literally slam your head into the enemy. It hurts. 300% physical damage; takes 10% of your health.
(Lv 50) Juggernaut: Destroy the enemy regardless of the consequences. ATK +300%, MDF/DEF +50%, always attack in battle.

Bird form gives you +1 AGI for each level, and Bear form gives +1 ATK.

Blue Staff River and Fermata Forest Enemies
There's a good deal of overlap between these areas, as well as the water temple hidden in Blue Staff River.
Mid-Level Goon will bully you for 150% physical damage. When he smirks, he'll deal 200% physical to all party members the next turn. You can steal his Work Ethic to make him Sleep.
In order for a Low-Level Goon to graduate into a Mid-Level Goon, it's said that they have to spend at least 1,000 hours shaking people.

Hypnopottamus will play a lullaby every other turn to put a party member to Sleep.
There used to be a Hypnopottamus exhibit at the Legato Zoo, but it kept putting all the kids to sleep.

Bagspider can inflict Sick with a venomous bite.
A Bagspider's web is plaid. Since it's not very well-hidden, it doesn't catch many insects, so Bagspiders often have to hunt on the ground.

Bagspider Cocoon will take the place of Bagspiders in autumn and winter. After one turn, it will burst open and replace itself with one to three Bagspiders.
Bagspider Cocoons are equipped with tiny televisions so that the spider babies inside can watch cartoons while they grow.

Treeman will change form depending on the season. In spring, it can release spores and make your party Sick. In autumn, it starts the battle Sick and wastes turns coughing. You can steal its Health to make it cough more often. In winter, it will bite for 125% physical damage, but become weak to holy attacks.
In more arid regions, treemen have evolved to look more cactus-like, and they don't change with the seasons.

Metrognome will also change form based on the season. In spring, it will throw sparkle dust in your eyes to Startle you, and hum a tune to restore 25% of all enemies' HP. In summer, it will bully you for 150% physical damage, and chant to make all enemies Motivated. In autumn, it will spray mud on the party and make them Sticky (lowering their AGI), and raise a barrier to make enemies Guarded (raising their DEF/MDF). In winter, it will freeze the air to deal magical damage to you, and chant to charge up a blizzard, dealing 300% magical damage to all party members the turn after. It won't use its secondary abilities until it gets below 95% health. You can steal 150 dollars from it in spring, and a Barbell in summer.
In their youth, it's not uncommon for Metrognomes to be mistaken for leprechauns. They don't have a pot of gold, but I hear they've got a few bucks set aside for a rainy day.

Bosses
In Blue Staff River, the Petty Thugs will use the same attacks they used in The Wilting Lands, with a few tweaks. DeeDee can now slam into a party member, dealing 250% physical damage at the cost of skipping her next turn, or kick your whole party, damaging and Startling them. Big Enormous can now play a sad song to Unmotivate your party. Johnny Knives can make you Sick with a poisoned dagger; if he cackles for two turns, he'll slash hard three times for 200% physical damage each. If Punch Tanaka scratches his head and looks confident somehow, he'll either use a magnificent combo or counter the next turn.

Grumble Bear has three phases for each third of its health bar. In the first phase, it can roar to damage the entire party physically, or rampage twice for 150% damage each, at the cost of skipping its next turn. In the second phase, it can bite for 125% damage; its roar will inflict Unguarded and its rampage will hit three times. In the third phase, it can slam you for 150% physical damage; its roar will inflict Unmotivated as well as Unguarded and its rampage will hit four times.

You guys were talking about cockroaches in the last episode, so I want you to go look up palmetto bugs. They're quite common in Florida, and they're basically cockroaches that can fly. And they're rather big. They're so much fun to deal with.

In NYC, we call big cockroaches "water bugs" for some reason. Maybe because they tend to hang out around the drains of sinks and showers. But a roach is a roach and a roach is the worst.

Also, don't let them crawl into your ear. They can't move backwards so they'll be stuck there until you get it removed. I thought that was some poo poo my dad made up to be a wiseass, but it's apparently real.

Montana is immune from the horror of wild cockroaches, thankfully, though we do have monstrous spiders, weird stinky beetles, and most of the wildlife will go full Australia on you given the opportunity.

But I did do a project in biology where I tried to train Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches to run a very simple maze. I goofed by not realizing up front that MHCs are nocturnal, so all of my mid-afternoon experiments failed because they were asleep, but I still got to give my tri-fold presentation at the science fair. I had nice little cartoony illustrations of the roaches, which are kind of inoffensive looking compared to most weird bugs. But the piece de resistance was one of my actual subjects, who was as long as my hand (and I have big hands) and quietly sat between my cupped palms while I gave my presentation to other kids' parents.

One mother asked me what they look like, and I said, "Well, they look like this!" and held up my roach.

I have never seen someone accelerate that quickly out of a crowded space. The dad apologized to me and my roach.

Herr Tog joins me! And he thought we were still doing the Yiik LP. And he sees this and is like "Holy poo poo, this is actually a good game! And like most of these videos, I made a new friend :D

Scabs was howling at Katherine in the shower so no scabs. I'm gonna fix that soon.

A couple things:

1) Ebeezil is really nasty. That's why I ground encounters. Unfortunately, he died really fast when I put balls on his face. Woops.

2) I cannot for the life of me figure out what the metaphor for this nightmare zone is. Is it fear of sleep? Is it fear we are the figment of something else's imagination?

I'm unsure. Talk to me about it. Because that place freaks me the gently caress out.

3) "I would die for Grooky" is a Danaru joke. Sorry Dan. See, Yiik? This is how you accredit something. I'm sorry for stealing your joke, Dan

Enjoy the worst rendition of Shake it Off that has ever existed.

Ebeezil is a real bitch at this point in the game. On my first playthrough I found this dungeon much later, but if I had tried to take him on when you're supposed to, I probably would have given up. On my current playthrough, I somehow I beat him without a Caffeinated Inhaler, which allows you to keep two party members from falling asleep instead of just Helga.

Ayndin
Mar 13, 2010

If I had to guess, Ebeezil is maybe the fear of going to sleep and then never waking up? That sounds like a common nasty childhood fear.

Also Grooky is the best, unironically (but the other new starters are also great so everybody’s a winner :buddy: )

Excuse me? Everyone I've talked to has loved the legendaries, and I think they're great. It doesn't hurt that Sword Wolf is basically Sif from Dark Souls. Also, don't you dare talk poo poo about Sobble, or I will cut you. Corviknight is also amazing, and he's our taxi service, and Wooloo is adorable. Everything about the new Pokémon games looks great, so far.

I respect what Pokemon is going for and I understand the hype, but I haven't played it since Gen 4 and I don't feel like tripping over myself in an effort to get it. Maybe I'll change my mind once it comes out.

It's obvious to me that Sobble was the result of somebody at Nintendo or Game Freak noticing the shocked Pikachu meme and saying, "Make something like that." I'm all for it.

I just beat this game. I'm very glad I avoided spoilers, since this game is a crazy ride and you never know what to expect next.

I do wish it was better documented, though. There's a huge amount of hidden areas, sidequests and optional bosses, and very few guides out there to find them. I found out about two new ones thanks to this LP!

I feel as if that whole area is some sort of existential terror, the kind you often get in dreams. In this case its perhaps the fear that you might die in your sleep and not be able to wake up.

this is why I keep going back to the Yume Nikki comparison. Yume Nikki has a lot of fangames but this one is one of the few that really does its own thing enough to have areas that evoke those kinds of feelings insterad of just mad libsing random things into Yume Nikki's established patterns.

That's probably the correct answer, especially since you'd immediately die to most enemies if you went asleep. Fun fact: right now, only Jimmy can fall asleep. And it's as a bear.

So what Ebeezil does is every five turns, he'll put everyone in the battle to sleep, including himself. Not only can he still act when he's asleep, but his attacks get very sicknasty. When I fought Ebeezil, I hadn't prepared as well as I could have, and could only choose between waking the party and waking him. I don't think he can actually instakill your sleeping party members when he's asleep himself, though, so I chose to wake the party.
