Mums – Legs(Society Of Losers / Hex Records)
It’s been seven long years since Mums released their debut ‘Land Of Giants’ and in that time, they’ve got a new drummer, two thirds of the band got married and one third of the band actually became a Mum!! So with life seemingly heading in the right direction, the trio are ready to explode back into our ears with their long…
Marrying Carter in Harvest Moon DS Cute! (North American version)
oh… sorry no not the archaeologist, i mean Pastor Carter from Mineral Town!
(or is it Pastor Curdy….?)
teeechnically his descendant, and it causes a game over… but this is the only time we’ve been able to marry him right?
so in the girl version of HMDS, there’s two “secret” Mineral Town bachelors that you can marry by talking to them enough times on the phone. one is Mason, the guy who runs May’s Tailoring… but the second, Pastor Carter, is a bit more obscure…
i couldn’t find them uploaded anywhere so here are his 2nd* thru 10th conversations+his proposal+proposal rejection in english! if you want to see it on youtube instead here you go
*i failed to record the first conversation when it happened, and there’s no way in hell i’m resetting my whole game again (…yet), so…just know the first one was like “oh you want to talk? what should we talk about…….. …… ….. …. i can’t think of anything. well see ya………” extremely riveting stuff
he’s so obscure that i didn’t even realize that he was a bachelor until i found out about the mechanic from this japanese wiki!! (here’s an archive link to the page on him in case the page doesn’t work) all i did was test whether it worked in english since i couldn’t find any english info at all mentioning it. i’m sure others have found him… right……..
in case the links above don’t work, a small guide to holy matrimony below the cut since i can’t find one in english
it works essentially the same as the Mason marriage (so it’s just a game over, sadly…), and the steps are pretty tedious and counterintuitive, so you’re unlikely to just stumble across it… but you too can get a priest to break his vow of celibacy for you or whatever!
you will need:
at least 2,050,000 G
20 cursed tools/accessories
if you really don’t want to dig up 20 cursed things you can substitute 100x “remove a cursed tool/accessory” for blessing a cursed tool…
but, including all the cursed tools and accessories, there’s only 16… which means you will need to go dig up 4 duplicate cursed accessories using this method! yay!!! extremely pointless since you can’t sell blessed accessories until after marriage in DS for girl (at which point you can’t trigger pastor carter’s proposal)
you unlock a conversation with cardi when you spend at least 205,000 G. which means the quickest thing to do is to order removal of a cursed item five times, then bless 2 cursed items.
**be careful when blessing accessories to only equip one at a time!!! if you equip a stack of duplicate accessories, blessing that stack destroys the duplicates!!!! :( so just take 1 out of the stack and equip it!!!**
you also can’t unlock more conversations until you’ve seen the one you unlocked, so like even if you spend a million G you’ll just unlock one conversation, and you’ll need to finish that conversation and then spend 205,000 G to unlock the next one…yeah….
on the tenth conversation he abruptly reveals that he’s fallen in love with you and asks you to marry him! it ends your game, but….! on the bright side, it ends your game!!! you’re finally free from Hell Simulator!!!!
if the theory of sam reich being replaced by .. evil wizard dalton reich (and i cant believe i am partaking in this discurse) is true..
i've seen some people asking the question about what those childhood tapes mean. Well i am one of the ancient ones that owned vhs tapes and you know you could replace whats stored on those tapes with overwriting it with new material but it would slowly degrade the quality as the magnetic tape the information is stored on isn't necessarly made to be re-recorded on indefinetly which would also explain the degrading quality of the gamechanger episode.
So my theory is that dalton reich wants to erase sam from history and to do this he is slowly erasing any proof that could hint on sam and dalton being two different people. One thing he appearantly needed to do is overwrite these old vhs tapes of sams childhood.
Watching TMNT Next Mutation Episode 7 (when I really shouldn't be but... eh.) 😅
Ramblings under the cut.
Sewer rays? OK.
Dude's riding a motorbike through the sewer. Raph just makes it look so cool he stated a trend huh?
"Do I wanna meet the NYPD? Hmm... naaahh, absolutely not!" Same Mikey, same...
Big monkey. Who is his voice actor? He sounds familiar...*
"I can't believe this! I've been dissed by a gangster ape!" Mikey bro this is like a regular Monday for you surely?
"Certified turtlefied!" Adding that to the List of Things I Can't Believe They Say
"Cops in the sewers? They don't sell donuts down here!" Raph providing the obligatory donut jokes 👍
"I dunno what you been eatin'. But I want some." Why don't they believe Mikey about the monkey dude? Like literally they are talking turtles. If anything a talking ape is less weird
These gangsters are all dressed like they're cosplaying alt- design Joker Funko Pops. Or they got lost on the way to audition to be in the 60s Batman TV show.
"We're ninja - not the Power Rangers!" Yesssssss they're crossing the streeeeeaaaamms!
Raph 'n' roll honestlyyyyyyy that's a catchphrase?? Raph buddy...
"That's team leader" 😤 Aw Don Don, you don't deserve this disrespect
"EY BAWS" hoooooo my god
"The schnooks" OK Venus.
"Battlin' crime is FUN! Heh heh I feel like Batman!" Yeah that'll be the knockoff Joker suits.
Also like... the guys are acting like they don't fight crime? But like... they fought the Foot before? And I know that was bc they were an evil ninja clan specifically but you can't tell me they weren't Doing A Crime every now and then? And that was probably why the turtles fight them, at least sometimes??
The TA DAAAAA sound effect again 👌
All the money flying out of the back of the van this is genuinely the cheesiest live action cartoon
God I love how completely done Donnie is today
Mikey that was so fruity (affectionate)
Oh that's convenient. They moved most of the gold in Fort Knox to NYC for a bit. Of course.
The turtles just so happen to be living directly under half the gold in America right now. Of course.
"Translation for the thick of skull" oof Donnie he's your brother! Or not. So you all have a free pass to hit on your sister Venus.
"I suggest big caution" Leo providing much needed representation for people who can't words good (me).
NUCULAR?? DON WTF YOU ARE NOT HOMER SIMPSON
Isn't there a super villain who's a big monkey dude? I can't remember rn and its winding me up**
Honestly these accents... I could've been a VA on this show. I can butcher an East Coast accent with the best of them
Was I supposed to be able to see that wire??
Oh no they've trapped Venus in a classic Thunderbirds episode!
No genuinely though this could be pretty exciting if it wasn't like 3 minutes from the end of the episode...
Raph is very worried. "Whadda we doo just stand around and PANIC??" He's so relatable
Aw Don...
Aw they're crying 😭 bless them
It's a good job Donnie and Venus didn't die, the other three have to share one brain cell and I'm not sure Splinter could handle that alone
The code was Donnie's birthday asdghghfgdgk
*IT WAS GARY CHALK! I knew I knew that voice! How's a guy get typecast as a talking gorilla, anyway? I really hope that whoever cast him did that intentionally, and if they did I hope they also know that they're a legend.
"You me with the monkey and it gets funky" this dude is legit a Power Rangers villain
I'd never heard of Autoclave, although I certainly heard of Mary Timony, Slant 6, The Casual Dots, and Ex Hex - all associated with Autoclave. I learned about the band through the Bandcamp article on Christina Billotte.
This sounds like the 90s - it seems like Autoclave should have played at the International Pop Underground Festival in Olympia - I mean, many of their friends including Fugazi and Nation of Ulysses did. This sounds like the perfect collaboration between Dischord and K Records (which the first Autoclave 7" was). The 7" is reasonably priced on Discogs. Let's hope Dischord will reissue this compilation (last reissued on vinyl in 2019).
Here at Birthday Cake For Breakfast, we like to get to the heart of what an artist is all about. We feel that what influences them is just as important as the music they make. With that in mind, ahead of releasing their new album ‘Legs‘, Widnes’ best noise trio Mums talk us through their influences of late. Take it away, Mums…
