I went and bought this game cause of this LP. It is very good.

The creator is really chill and humble unlike this other developer guy y'all may have heard of.

Andrew definitely became my most useful party member, he certainly made grinding a lot easier. That being said, I could never not use Helga, she is absolutely vital. Lars is also a great sponge and undulate + counter has saved my rear end plenty... But if Buck is available then I'm picking Buck, sorry. He's my favorite character.

Whatever.

I must've been playing wrong because generally, Jimmy was the least useful member on my party. What should I be doing with him? I still have post-game content to tackle, so it wouldn't hurt to optimize Jimbo a bit.

Oh word, I didn't know Jimmy received permanent stat bonuses from leveling imagination. I thought those were just stat increases for that particular form. Well, don't that beat all?

Buck is an incredible character and there is just... so much going on for him. I say Johnny is my favorite all the time but I don't think I can write rambling paragraphs about his character like I can with Buck. It's extremely hard to decide who is my favorite.

Anyway,

There's something about this that hurts me.

Very good post. Buck is amazing and his reaction to his brother's illness is so realistic.

There are a few scenes later that recontextualize a lot of what Buck tells/asks of Jimmy and it breaks my heart

I expect all future episodes will involve GrandmaParty and his guests weeping out loud, honking their noises on tissues etc

Well, I feel better that I wasn't the only one itt who cried cause of this game. To be fair "sweet child with cancer" is a low hanging fruit when it comes to ejecting tears. But because this is a Good Game, it actually does a great job successfully balancing the different moods.

I actually really appreciate that this game is fairly direct about the premise and that it's not buried behind subtext. Like, everything is pretty much laid out on the table. Of course, I'm not referring to the symbolism wrt bosses, locations (especially nightmare zones) and the like, because there's plenty of that to think about. Instead of focusing on the premise (go beat up some cancer and win), we're instead given an inside glimpse of how a family might react and how each individual member goes about dealing with things.

It makes sense to me that Lars is actually the best equipped to deal with loss and deals with Jimmy's illness more maturely than the rest of his family.

also i was totally jimmy as a kid minus the whole dying shtick

Mod edit: big spoilers.

OP edit: i am dumbe

That's the next episode.

I'm trying to figure out how best to rob that house in Legato. It's nasty in there.

I miss Helga

I love that sprite of sad Helga so much but I don't love that Helga's sad.

I love this so much??????????? and this is so oddly specific but thank you for remembering that hair also grows on the lower back like on andrew there. i see so many artists who are like AW YEAH IM GONNA DRAW A HAIRY GUY and they forget that hair grows on more than just the Usual Places

inspired by this one guy I saw one time who was hairless except for the small of his back, which was loaded like you wouldn't believe. What purpose does that hair serve? To capture pollen? Were we once bees?

get that OUT of my face posted:

Does anyone else imagine Lars's dialog as being voiced by Jon Benjamin? His delivery and voice fit perfectly.

Yes. We've covered all the family members.

He's voiced by Droopy Dog. Imagine droopy dog's voice explaining the virtues of Asian women.

Just catching up on the LP.

Oh, Grandma, you cannot take back a woof. Once you woof, it is out there forever.

edit - wow, I imagine that's what it's like teaching a real life grandmother how to use Growlr.

This is the part that killed me during my playthrough. Seeing small bald Jimmy, Buck begging Jimmy to get stronger while hugging him.

Imo bashing that dog was the correct thing to do.

You're going to get a drawing of Moon Baby, Grandma.

I haven't watched anything since Hellstream because I don't want it to be over.

I wanna try drawing the family too. This game needs fanart. That's right. It's time to talk shippings.

I'm watching it now. LPs are great to have on while working on projects or just doodling.

Also Grandma looks very close to how I imagined. But that's only because his personality reminded me of one of my cool friends and said cool friend looks like Grandma.
