This is like the 5th indie game I've seen lately with space whales did someone popular do something with space whales so now everyone wants to have them?

90s kids who grew up reading Nintendo Power are doing their pre-mid-life crisis swerve into making indie games but are unable to actually create anything new and are just reiterating on the same few nostalgic touchstones.

That's been indie games since the oughties tho, just with other nostalgic touchstones.

Space Whales are not only extremely common but also cross-cultural. You can find them in sci-fi from France, Korea, Japan, and probably others I'm entirely unaware of.

It is because space whales rule.

The Taurus didn't offer much for drivers craving the sport sedan experience. That changed with the 1989 debut of the Ford Taurus SHO (for Super High Output), a Q-ship of the finest order that offered up a high-revving Yamaha-designed V-6 engine and a tight sport suspension.

Iirc, that's about as far as you can go in the main quest, after that it starts to fall apart at a rapid rate.

There was a lovely rip off of the crestfallen gamer zidance scene from FF9 after that but it's probably not active. Also after that point Cdwarf would keep contacting you through Chat Roulette and he would always be extremely paniced and disgusted about all the dicks he had to see before the roulette tuned into X1.

Hi guys I tried to play Barkley 1 recently on Windows 10 but it seems to have some weird issue where there is full screen purple flashing every second or so while walking around? Anyone here manage to get this great game working properly on a modern system?

I tried doing a "full playthrough" by connecting the missing dots and using the dev tools. It's really sad how bare the endgame content is. Cuchu is hilarious and the wedding quest is pure unadulterated 100% bball beef barkeley. I wonder what the cuica zauber actually sounds like...

I thought it was too sad (given the state of tog at the time I wouldn't have expected less), but Chandragupta's wise words still make me laugh.

The OG dialogue between X1 and bball dad is pretty good, too:

It's been like 1.5 years since I last touched this mess so I might be misremembering, but I think the progression was boring tutorial -> TNN -> Free roaming -> BCT -> Rebel missions -> Cdwarf -> Find the doodles -> Endgame

Endgame doesn't exist, finding the pieces of poo poo I think actually is there but I don't think that goes anywhere after you have them all, and everything after TNN starts to get increasingly more barren and unfinished.

The Mines might be the most finished portion in the game post TNN.

EDIT: Well, actually, if you go to the snowy fields and light up all the orbs you can go to Triskelion which technically is as good as it was ever going to get because it was me and gz spitting on the horrible rpgmaker games that you can find on Steam. But they at least were full games so who's laughing now, huh?

Hmm, looks like it's actually sort of complete scene. If you ignore the page flipping sound and put on some music it's almost like a real game.

I think because I always skipped all the dialog if I wasn't testing it out I never realized how grating the dialog tick sounds are. That was the real issue with Barkley 2. The dialog noises.

I honestly thought that Triskelion was finally cut and that whatever was left was just a placeholder. Everything makes sense now esp the part where you literally go to Barkley's apartment in B1 and find a dying Zalatar :smith: . Dojo Dad's whole saga and his mission to be as hilariously racist as possible and appropriate the dojo's culture is probably one of the funniest things I've ever read in a videogame. Props to the ghastly togster that wrote that one

It is a mess of several pastiches of vidcon tropes wrapped around a BAD VIDEOGAME. Most of the writing is genuinely funny, but gets very depressing/off by the point cboy and bort left :smith: Anyways, I still b11e/l11i/e2v3e
