On one hand, I really like shaking things and I love that Kasey put it in and everyone's got unique shaking dialogue. On the other hand no one likes getting shaken and I'm a monster. Moral quandary.

Something kind of fun that you can do - if you press the form action button as base Jimmy you get to see his thoughts on the area you're in. And some people do like being shaken, like Mr Marvelous. Since there's no way you can tell who likes it before doing it, you have to do it to increase net happiness in the world.

So if you talk to Mr. Beaver when he's still working on the wall, he'll say something like this: "This green-haired guy said he'd give me a knuckle sandwich if I didn't build this wall here. I've never had a knuckle sandwich before, but it sounds tasty. And if he's willing to give me that to not build a wall, imagine what he'll give me if I do build one!"

Just put in a sound clip of Marina from Mischief Makers saying "SHAKE SHAKE" if you want to put in anything. It's short and to the point. I never noticed the jacket design before you pointed it out. It does kind of look like a phoenix.

The battle system is quite reminiscent of LISA, with the reliance on status effects/conditions. Hopefully it doesn't reach the levels of stack buildup and management in endgame LISA.

I’ll put my hand up to do a commentary, if only just to prove I am not totally fuelled by anger. If you still need one and the time distance (Australia) isn’t too much and honestly if I can get the fortitude to stand my recorded voice. Either way, Pulsating Mass seems to be going in a lot more better way. Which is not a high bar but it seemed to have at least octupled over the bar. Out of curiosity, which status ailment is the worst in your opinion? Or is there just one that is the most awful in general?

Terminal definitely kills you in 3 turns which is probably the nastiest. I've got you on the list! I just did it with Ibble who's in Malaysia so no worries. We'll do it on a Saturday/Sunday morning/evening Let's take a look at our new form. quote:Let’s Get to Know You, Low-Level Goon!

Ennui and Terminal are definitely the most debilitating status effects, Immunodeficiency would be there too if it weren't a "common" ailment and thus easily treated by items or abilities. Sleep is pretty brutal because not only can you not act if you get hit it does double damage. (I'm so excited for this LP because this game rules a lot and I can't wait to see reactions)

Jimmy's stealing lets you steal some really out there things, as well as make combat easier. It's actually the best stealing ever in any RPG because it thinks outside the box and lets stealing actually matter beyond "i got an item"

On my first playthrough, it didn't occur to me to steal anything until about halfway through. It's pretty handy for some enemies and not recommended against others.

Something I like in this game is the Personality trait mechanic. Not only Jimmy with his Empathy, but Buck Also has a personality trait that gives him a 25% chance to attack a second time in battle, which happened a few times in the last video. Put it in spoilers because I don't know if GrandmaParty is simply waiting to talk about that later.

Episode 3 is up! I gotta drive an hour in the morning. Special Guest: Ibblebibble, who is running the Girls Frontline thread here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3885085 and co-commentating on a Dragon's Dogma thread here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3889074 This is a real cultural episode. We learn things about Malaysia. And what people eat in Malaysia. And how Southeast Asia, when looked at correctly, looks like a cock and balls. And where Malaysia is on that cock and balls. And we learn what bees do to flowers. Finally, I start doing what I do best: Stealing everything that isn't nailed down. I steal a tasty apple out of a dogsquirrel's mouth and make my brother eat some. I also steal a stuffed animal from a real animal. Cutscene Commentary On  No Commentary  Some quick discussion: 1) Since Ibble was up late and is 13 hours ahead, we had to record at a weird hour. Scabs was asleep. After I made fun of Katherine for feeding a bee out of a teaspoon when it was tired and motioned for her to squeeze a cat, she poked her head out of her computer monitor and gave a real smug nooooooooo headshake. I learned it meant that the cat was sleepy and did not want to meow instead of vengeance. 2) Good news: the next episode is loving phenomenal. Like gameplay wise it would survive without commentary. Bad news: I have laryngitis and cannot talk and do not maintain a backlog. I'm going to work on getting better but I have to talk for a loving living.

BioEnchanted posted:I know how you feel, I work in a call centre doing tech support. Oh God. That's all day talking. I can't imagine how bad you have it. I want to talk about the sunflower fight as good game design. Basically, it outheals all the damage you can do--but it's slow. And it also shows its strength as a character in it's heals. So one, you've got to burst down the poor bees. Then the thing keeps outhealing your damage unless you taunt it, which you can quickly figure out because you've got four abilities. Big fan, man. Plus Helga's bee story. Seriously love her. We've seen her for three minutes and already have an idea of who she is. G-Mawwwwwww fucked around with this message at 04:46 on May 13, 2019 |

Put that in front of me now, plz, kthx. My ex used to make baller chicken char siu, which isn't the same as that dish, but, "savory af Southeast Asian street noodle recipes," is one of the very few things I miss about him. Dude is white/Native American/Jewish, but grew up considering Thai his comfort food, and then spent a couple years between China, Cambodia, and Kazakhstan learning how to cook from locals, so his cuisine is strangely legit. That and his sweet mango black sticky rice with coconut cream, unf. The internet tells me it's called khao niew dam mamuang, if that means anything to anyone else.

Hey, I'm playing Jimmy ahead of Grandma, and I'm gonna let you in on some stuff he'll probably leave alone in his videos! So I double-checked, and there's something Information Guy didn't tell you about the Imagination system. Not only do you unlock active and passive skills at certain levels, you get stat increases every single Imagination level, depending on form. Blob gives +1 DEF, Goon gives +1 LUK, and Flower gives +3 HP and MP. Here's a description of what all their abilities do (with passive skills in italics): Revolting Blob: (Lv 05) Sticky Phlegm (3 MP): Cover the enemy in viscous goo. Damage the enemy and lower their agility by 50%. (Lv 10) Antibodies: Years of toxic buildup are paying off. Immune to sick. (Lv 15) Solidify (3 MP): Reconfigure your body structure to a solid state. Guard with 150% more DEF and MDF. (Lv 25) Resilient Body: Poke it, punch it, slap it, just jiggles back to its normal shape. DEF +50%. (Lv 40) Toxic Sludge (15 MP): Hock poisonous scum onto the enemy. 600% physical damage over six turns. (Lv 50) Undulate (3 MP): Waver your gelatinous body temptingly. All enemies attack you for five turns. Low-Level Goon: (Lv 05) Bully (5 MP): Utilize your brawn to hide your low self-esteem. 150% physical damage. (Lv 10) Clean Getaway (1 MP): True heroes don't retreat, so no problems here. 100% chance to escape. (Lv 15) High Five (10 MP): Give a friend a high five to boost their confidence. Heal 50% of max HP. (Lv 25) Beginner's Luck: Come on, just one more hand of blackjack--I'm on a roll! LUK +50%. (Lv 40) Grift (0 MP): Separate your enemy from their personal belongings--being lucky helps. (Lv 50) Business Savvy: You might be starting from the bottom, but you'll work your way to the top! Enemies give twice the money. Happy Little Sunflower: (Lv 05) Mental Clarity (5 MP): Focus your mind to purify your body. Heal common status effects to one ally. (Lv 10) Sunshine (8 MP): Bathe your opponent in warm, dangerous UV rays. 150% magical damage; double damage to undead. (Lv 15) Pep Talk (15 MP): Talk excitedly about life. Recover an unconscious ally to 25% health. (Lv 25) Comforting Smile (15 MP): Show the party that everything will work out. Heal 25% of the party's HP. (Lv 40) Positive Work Ethic: Chin up! You'll get stronger if you try! Jimmy's Imagination gains 50% more EXP. (Lv 50) Nourishing Roots: Absorb vital nutrients from the soil. 10% HP regen. There's also the matter of Jimmy's clubhouse. In addition to an ATM machine and heart fountain, it has a jukebox where you can play music tracks you find, eight furniture slots, and a billboard telling you what set bonuses you have active. That's right: set bonuses! Jimmy's furniture isn't just decorative; it provides stat bonuses and other benefits, especially when you coordinate it well. Most furniture is divided into four categories, depending on what set bonuses they offer. Common Sets come in four pieces, and are usually bought in stores. Monster Sets come in five pieces, and are stolen from various monsters, so be sure to check what your new enemies have on them. Rare Sets come in six pieces, and are usually found in toy boxes, along with a handful of Other pieces. Here's what GrandmaParty has access to so far: Rustic Set (???) -Windmill (+1 AGI): Makes you want to play mini-golf. Buy from Ms. Robin in Smile. -Barrels (+1 ATK): Filled with odds and ends. Buy from Ms. Robin in Smile. -??? -??? Fuzzy Set (???) -Stuffed Skitter (+2 AGI): Made from synthetic materials. Steal from Skitter in Giant Garden. -??? -??? -??? -??? Floral Set (???) -Happy Little End Table (+3 AGI): Now you have one of your own! Find in Giant Garden. -??? -??? -??? -??? -??? Would you like me to repeat that?
