@pm-seymour

You were saying? 🌙

im convinced im safe from pm seymour ever finding my posts, i get an average of -1 notes per post, my corner is safe

[cornerattic]

As someone who follows PM, curse. 110% curse. I cannot deal with their SHENANIGANS. I'd be walking down the street and be like "Why am I walking down the street? I never do this" and slip on a mozzarella stick. 🍀

I’m not sure if this would be a tumblr blessing or a tumblr curse, but here goes…

Ahem…

May your life be so interesting that @itsapmseymour would gleefully narrate it.

Do not kill the Cringe, kill the part of you that Cringes. For you may be Cringe, but you are Free. 🍀

"back on my bullshit" in reference to recurring hyperinterests dating back to middle school and beyond

Howdy! While IDWBAMG doesn't have as much extant lore as the Hellaverse does, you CAN go over to

For more! And also

For Hanamusa comics made by the creator! Kiana's talented af. 🍀

Thoughts on this, as I watch:

Lovely animation, very nice little moments, not "haha" funny, but "nice" funny.

Wait what age is this targeted towards!? The swearing completely threw me off; I thought this was straight-up aiming to be a kids' show pastiche with more adult sensibilities in terms of writing, which the length seemed to reinforce...

...SHE'S FIFTEEN!!?!? I don’t interact with kids much but what the hell I thought she was like 8.

Also, I'm honestly really glad, and I say this as a trans woman, that they don't seem to be defaulting to making the concept of the Magical Girl a direct trans allegory. Like that's always seemed both weird and easy to me.

At around 4:08 is something I would definitely call a "Worthikids moment".

Aika is *very* likeable.

WOAH JUDY GARLAND MOMENT

Oh shit ahahaha is she going to *brain* him

I guess she does need to be 15 for him to look like that and think he has a chance, but that's like a 1.8x height difference, so he still *feels* like a werido.

I ORIGINALLY SAID SOMETHING OUT-OF-POCKET HERE. MY BAD. SORRY.

Wait, she's only now reacting to Eclipse being magic; is the staff not magic, or was she just not processing it?

Please for the love of God do not let Eclipse be redeemed at any point I beg of you. His voice sounds too Hunter-y for me to be confident.

Overall I really like it and I think it has a lot of promise, but I'm not sure it'll capitalize on that potential. I'm very eager to see where it goes, though! Does anyone know where I can find more info on it? Like I would be very glad to hear this secretly has like a Hazbin level of extant accessible lore/info before the second episode.

Meanwhile there's cookies in this clicker game, and that's why I love the internet. 💛🌙

one of the inspirations for Nested was the containers populated with random items in games like Fallout or Skyrim. you open a thing and there's things in there. magical

Anais' Attic- Balatro.

Have you ever wanted to play Poker, but it's actually Yu-Gi-Oh, but it's Slay the Spire? Well that's what you'll get out of Balatro, the latest Deck-builder Roguelike to hit the market.

I'm a fan of roguelikes/lites, both Clo and I have been for a long time. Risk of Rain 2, Rogue Legacy 1 & 2, Hades, even Enter the Gungeon to a certain extent- and of course, Slay the Spire. Hell, even in Honkai Star Rail we ended up only playing through more of the game so we could unlock more Simulated Universe content.

There's just something about the addiction of “Just one more run, just one more run, cmon, can't end on a loss, just one more” that scratches the lizard brain’s itchy rash like freshly manicured nails, and Balatro definitely hits that urge. It's the prestigious winner of two of our personal rewards, one of which is that in an effort to not have to stop playing, we decided to purchase it on both Ps5 and switch. Sure it's only 15$, but that should tell you all you need to know about how good it really is.

But in case you'd like a full breakdown, here you go.

As stated Balatro is, in essence, another deck-builder roguelike. You win battles, earn money, and proceed to use said money to acquire new cards so you can win more battles to earn more money and so on. Same loop, new software. But one of Balatro's unique things is that it uses your standard 52-card deck as its base to build from. It's more complicated than that by the end of the average run, but that is where it starts. If you've seen a 52-card deck, you've seen every card in the starting deck. Where it gets wild is the different jokers you can use to build into getting all sorts of wild combinations, like turning all your cards into the same suit, or giving you a 4x multiplier for playing a four of a kind.

Because that's Balatro's other shtick- it's a poker game on top of everything else. You know all the memes you can find joking about Chess 2? Well this is Poker 2. If you know how to tell a three of a kind from a straight flush, you're a bit ahead of the curve, but you'll find your advantage means little when you need 300,000 points to beat the end boss of an ante, and you're barely making 30k with your hands. You're in Balatro's casino now, and you're gonna play by its rules.. But hey, at least it'll tell you the rules. That's more than you'd get in vegas.

Balatro is, however, all gameplay. Not so much as a scrap of an excuse plot. If you imagine a scale with “Roguelike storytelling” on it, then Balatro is far on the other end, about as far away from Hades as it gets. If that turns you off, no big deal, I don't judge. But I will tell you you're missing out.

Balatro has exploded in popularity, and it's been mostly to its benefit. I say mostly because while the game did manage to sell over 500k copies in two weeks, it didn't manage to escape without an 18+ Pegi rating, and an outright ban in South Korea as of the time of this writing. Banned and outrageously rated for the same reason there's no more game corner in the Pokémon games- it's too much like gambling, even when games that are essentially gambling and encourage gambling are not only allowed, they're shoved in your face.

If you're just looking for a thumbs up or down, let me answer that with a cautionary tale. Clover and I were told to give this one a try by a friend, and it proceeded to consume just over 30 hours of our sadly limited time on this earth over the span of a week. Given we work a dayjob, but have the ability to play for an hour at lunch, that's essentially nothing but Balatro in every spare moment. Which is why Balatro is the recipient of our other personal reward, being awarded the honor of getting deleted just so that we could get any work done.

After all, if the house always wins, then the only winning move is not to play at all. - 🌙

Bricks are non lethal if you aim for the knees🌙

if you had the ability to toss any non lethal object at any person or thing you wanted, what would you toss and who would it be

there is inherent comedy in throwing bricks at your friends while they're mid sentence trying to say something, but we'd first need to make bricks non lethal

[cornerattic]

I very respectfully disagree, add something there you don't plan to do anything with for years, let hoaxes build around it and never acknowledge it directly and silently add in functionality in with a minor hotfix, then bask in the chaos as some people reap rewards and some people see nothing at all🌙

i learn something new about software development every day because it turns out explicitly marking a feature as not implemented:

is in practice not enough to let people know that the feature is, in fact, not in the game yet, and that this is why it is not doing anything for them at the moment and there is therefore no need to ask how they can unlock it to make it do things. the lesson is: even in an alpha test version, don't implement a new thing halfway, just hide it completely from player view until you finish making it
