Anybody got a set-up they need flavor for, or just feel like helping me come up with the mechanics for a game I've already got flavor for? Also, hi, I'm back.

EccoRaven posted:hello PMush how are you doing? how is your times and happenings? tell us stories. So, as a bit of background, I worked at McDonald's until last week. It was alright, but I was slowly getting frustrated with their refusal to promote me or pay me more than $.25 over minimum wage at part time, so I'd started looking for other work. (Well, that and that the job had been the cause of two panic attacks in the last three weeks.) That's not the point of the story, just some background. Sunday's the General Manager's day off, so I went in on Sunday for a long-ish shift, 11 to 8 or something. I was pretty ready to quit already, since I've gotten a new job lined up and things were not getting any less stressful. But I don't want to burn a bridge I don't have to, so I'm toughing it out. Over the course of the day, we have four people missing. Three of them are just straight-up no-shows. And we're a smaller McDonald's. 4 people is like half the loving staff. We call the GM. He's insistent on not calling anyone in who'd be put over 25ish hours, because at 30, they'd have to offer them benefits. He also declines to come in himself, because it's his day off. Right around 5 PM, one of our other managers comes in, stays for about half an hour, and then walks out because "nobody cares about getting this place clean". Keep in mind, we are down to HALF our normal (already pretty tight) staff, so yeah, things being dirty is to be expected. All of us stay, of course. I work through my whole shift, until another manager comes in (half-asleep and in jeans, but by god, he comes in to help), then clock out, and immediately turn in my uniform. I don't remember quite what the note said, something like "Thank you for the work opportunity. I hope your new staff is more forgiving." After the fact, I found out that basically everyone is quitting. So, that's the story of how I have a week and a half off before I start my new job (a night shift at Waffle House, but it's full time with benefits, so hey!)

Blue Lips is really good, but I always associate it with this one Homestuck video, because that's how I was introduced to it a few years ago. How's your summer vacation going, Ecco?

My top five albums, without repeating artists, in no particular order... Gorillaz - Demon Days Protomen - Hope Rides Alone (self-titled album) Alice Cooper- Brutal Planet Pendulum - Hold Your Colour If it counts, my #5 is the Donkey Kong Country 2 OST by Dave Wise. But if not, then... Halestorm - The Strange Case Of... Halestorm's songs in particular have helped me through some rough patches, and The Strange Case Of has most of my favorite songs, though the middle of the album itself isn't really my thing. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Jul 19, 2015 |

I will absolutely admit that DKC2's difficulty makes a jump once lava starts showing up in regularity, and then another pretty significant jump right around Krazy Kremland, and I could never really get past that as a kid.

EccoRaven posted:I mentioned ocarina!! majora's mask was only okay for music though despite being the artistically way more interesting game. I never played wind waker as that's about when we all lost interest in consoles and became socially very different people. TWIST! What is the worst video game soundtrack? It has to be a reasonably high-budget or high-profile game, no trotting out shovelware you got in a bargain bin. Personally, I'd say that Shining Force 2, despite being a much better game in general, had way worse music. And that's saying something. Shining Force 1 had very NES-ish music, but that had a certain charm. SF2 just sounded like they let somebody play with a synthesizer and recorded whatever sounded like music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97K0D13VL40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enxyTeZ_i-c girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 09:56 on Jul 19, 2015 |

Look Under The Rock posted:I would really like to talk to you about it. The best analogy I can think of is that it's like selling wheelchairs to people with injured legs/spines, and insisting that's all they'll ever need, thus keeping them from ever actually getting physical therapy or anything else that could end their dependence on the wheelchair. Except they don't charge you another $80 each month to keep a wheelchair.

My first game modded was a nine-player set-up with two SKs and no skum. My second was Mafia Fortress 2, and then I jumped straight from nine-player games to Pokemonfia.

Hey, I've talked to you guys about some of my game design stuff in the past, and I've got a new project I've been pecking away at. (It's actually why I haven't been in the thread as much recently. It's been eating most of my free times.) Kind of a love letter to NES RPGs, especially the Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest series. I've got a lot of half-baked ideas, but no real idea how many of them are any good, so if anyone wanted to fill out my lovely survey I threw together about it, that'd be rad as gently caress.

One of the really genuinely cool things about the internet is that people can easily find out about stuff like this now. They can find out where these genres of music actually come from, instead of just assuming that rock was invented by Elvis and the Beatles.

Thank you for filling out the survey, nerdfriends. The info confirmed things I suspected in a couple places, but really genuinely surprised me in a couple others. But most importantly, it galvanized me into making a big leap I kind of knew I needed to make in the first place. The short version is that instead of taking a couple great ideas for each of two separate projects, I'm picking the absolute best ideas from both and working as many of them as I can into a single project. Edit Also, I just finished Episodes 2 and 3 of Life is Strange and holy poo poo. When I said I was hoping it'd serve as another helping of Telltale Walking Dead greatness, I had no idea that I would be provoking this drat game to gutpunch me as hard as possible.
