I saw that movie as a kid and suddenly got interested in B-movies, leading me to Troma Videos. As expected, Olive Garden had a bunch of strange chemicals and no delicious meals.

They're mostly known for being the ones to give Jean Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, and Charles Bronson careers (and for Superman 4, the movie singlehandedly responsible for killing the Christopher Reeve Superman movies) but the B-movie poo poo in their margins is on par with anything Full Moon Entertainment will release for sheer batshit stupid amusement value.

Wow, that was a surprisingly heartelt scene with the Cellist given how oddball the rest of this game is. I am terrible at comforting people like that myself  It's 1:07am on a Sunday and I just pulled another batch of sticky buns out of the oven. These ones didn't have the overnight step so they did rise properly, but the rolls are much more bready and less like a brioche than my first batch (but still delicious). This, I think, tells us what the deep flavour magic achieves.

ArchWizard posted:I know this is a serious update but the phrase "weighted blanked covered in weed leaf decals" keeps making me laugh. I'm glad. That was the intent of the line - illustrate the seriousness while still being funny. (The Singer's writer also responded with "yo but I want that IRL though" and I can't say I disagree) I'll confess that this was the scene that terrified me the most before release, when imagining how it'd be received. I knew the end of his arc before I wrote a single word, but kept worrying that it'd be taken as a cheap swerve or that it'd be too heavy handed. The fact that it's by and large gotten the intended reception is the thing I did I'm probably most proud of in Jazztronauts, in retrospect. There was a lot of writing from the heart, and writing with the memory of people I used to know, involved in creating his arc, and it's pretty clear a lot of people who played the game could relate to him, or someone they knew like him. Thank you all for the continued kind words.

The only bad things about the game are the unintentional spelling errors and a sorely needed skip option for repeat quest dialog. I hit my head on the Mewseum glass so many times just to get to the end of that chain because I forgot who gave it to me.

they're good cats Also sorry not sorry work's been killer with all the typhoons and bullshit, but the schedule should be better from now on. Except for the part where I'm on travel until the 10th so no updates then either. I'll probably start only showing interesting maps or ones where I get the super rare stuff (Alyx) because I need to get through a lot of chaff to finish up these quests. We steal a t-rex, and get Singer's radiators: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClHk_ddXr8w Music: Woody Herman - Giant Steps Woody Herman was a clarinetist turned big band leader. He started off with a blues band but eventually moved into jazz and stayed there, and would be famous for including non-traditional instruments into his bands (i.e. bassoons (lol) and oboes) and including rock elements into his compositions. Like many from his time, he made the classic mistake of never paying taxes, resulting in owing millions to the IRS! This somehow never stopped him from performing though. Next Up: hiatus, vending machines, ALYX

So, just curious, are people making maps specifically for Jazztronauts objectives? It seems like the sort of thing that might happen.

There is a map that has all the objectives in the game. Are there any edits you can make to a config file or something to increase your multiplier? Scalding Coffee fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Sep 30, 2018 |

Scalding Coffee posted:There is a map that has all the objectives in the game. It's an entry in sv.db, like basically any other data Jazztronauts saves. You can change it with any SQLite editor. I'd tell you the entry's name, but I'm on a trip right now. We've reached the part of the game that has some unfortunate script errors, such as Cellist's quest for milk being fulfilled with a single cactus and needing to look for NUMBER items for the Singer. Or the Pianist's sudden interjection to describe something the Singer does. With more to come. They're all pretty minor issues and nothing game-breaking, but it could do with an editing pass. By the way, only cowards use the Jazztronauts objectives map. Returning to a map you've been to before also yields some interesting results. It's rare, but the TV can show you old maps because it's apparently properly random.

The cat was also grumpy, had almost the same coloring as the Pianist, and was pushing the hand away really firmly.

My experience was that she wasn't really any harder to find than Kleiner, but that she's on two very narrow types of maps: either HL2 fanfiction-ish stuff or My First Test Map. Kleiner you can find in the wild in rare lab/office maps if you're lucky.

I'm not sure why I waited so long to read this thread. It's a fun looking game, this is a fun thread. Kudos to the writer who popped in a while back and stayed for the ride, too. Top notch stuff and reading your behind-the-scenes thoughts is a treat. I had to wait this long to post this because its my day off tomorrow and that means its sticky bun day:  I couldn't find Rhodes rolls, so I went for the next-best thing: the actually many times better Sister Schubert's. Fight me.  This looks disgusting  This looks even worse, but it smelled fantastic  I must have accidentally hit the shutter button after this Hi, kitchen floor. I need to clean you. Hi, lovely kitchen corner turnstile shelf. Without you, my tiny kitchen would feel even smaller.  The glaze is super thick, but it spreads well.  Good night, sweet prince. Trip report in the morning, but for now I'll watch the next video that miraculously appeared while I was editing all these photos. Thanks, Atlatl. Thatlatl
