#The Hato Parable

[vellichorom]

now we get to the stuff that makes people look at me weirdly BUT I'M HAVING FUN SO WHO GIVE A SHIT

featuring things that- MORE OR LESS REVOLVE AROUND @xaq-the-aereon's crossover game The Hato Parable ( which you should totally play ), ranging from legitimate fanart to AU stuff directly inspired by it- including various bird designs for the narrator - from a raven/crow, a chukar partridge, to finally - a grey partridge;

( ALSO FEATURING !!!!! @singalongpokey's hiyoko design & @indigo-art's narrator arthur! or a rendition of him as a bird, anyway )

[sunnytheopossum]

Just finished this sketch page of my favorite guys from my favorite things before leaving to get my wisdom teeth removed <3

1: Three - The Murderbot Diaries

2: Tim / “Masky” - Marble Hornets

3: Stanley & The Adventure Line™- The Stanley Parable

4: N - Pokémon Black & White

5: Ryouta & Anghel- Hatoful Boyfriend

6: Isaac & Hector - Castlevania

7: Wander & Agro - Shadow Of The Colossus

8: Uta & Yomo - Tokyo Ghoul

9: Freckles the Jelly Bean Puppy & Kyan the Peace Puppy - My Webkinz

I was also planning on including Erza Scarlet and Freed Justine from Fairy Tail, Wes from Pokémon Colosseum, and Connor from Detroit Become Human, but I ran out of room, so maybe next time! Also please ignore what I’m sure is a plethora of wonky proportions. I did this in a real life sketchbook (and then moved around the drawings a bit in Clip), so I never flipped my canvas, and now I never will because I’m scared.

Hatoful Boyfriend does my two favorite things in a VN.

Pathways lend to telling one overarching narritive.

Story decisions impact more than which route/ending you're on.

That sounds so cool, I never knew that about the pigeon game!!! :0 I rly love choice based games (Walking Dead, Life is Strange, Stanley Parable), is my favourite kind of game, so that sounds right up my alley!!! :3 ✧⁺⸜(●˙▾˙●)⸝⁺✧ʸᵃʸ 😁 (*ˊᗜˋ*)ᵗᑋᵃᐢᵏ ᵞᵒᵘ I definitely put on my wish list ^^

[necromancy-enthusiast]

@atomicniire Well, since you asked:

1-10 (which, aside from the first four, are in no particular order):

Final Fantasy X

Fire Emblem Awakening

Pokemon Sapphire

Earthbound

Hatoful Boyfriend

Slay the Princess

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe

Gnosia

Undertale

Dynasty Warriors 8

11-20? (none are in any particular order, I haven't even decided on them all yet):

Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Kingdom Hearts 2

A Dark Room

Dynasty Warriors 3?

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword?

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages? (I kind of want to limit each series to having two places at most on this list)

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days?

Kid Icarus Uprising?

Animal Crossing New Leaf?

Cult of the Lamb?

The World Ends with You?

Shovel Knight?

Sly Cooper 3?

Long Live the Queen?

I really love roguelikes so I want one to be on here but I'm not sure which... Not Hades though, because even though it's a great game the way they treat Hypnos like crap basically for being autistic-coded annoyed me so much I gave up about 30 hours in. Maybe the original version of the Binding of Isaac or Faster than Light?

???

Older video game fans (~10 years older than me usually, so people in their late 30s and 40s now) hate me because my top 3 favorite games all presented notable tonal and/or mechanical shifts that they consider 'divisive'. Well I'm joking, largely, but in my experience people who insist that pokemon stopped being good after gen 2 and Fire Emblem fans who are snobby about casual mode are the worst overall. Final Fantasy fans tend to be more... Diplomatic about it, or at least they're more diplomatic about ffx specifically. For a lot of them I can see the light fade in their eyes a bit when I say ffx is my favorite, and then they say something like 'I mean, I like ffx, but-' or 'It was okay.'

But I'm kind of the same way about Dragon Age Origins albeit I try to not be snobby about it, so really, it's hard to be truly and fully objective, and where you start with a long running series is probably going to have a big impact on how you view the other games in it... But my first pokemon games were gen 1 so at least with genwunners I can be like 'well ackshually I've ALSO played gen 1 as my first pokemon games and I DO like it, so I think I can say your nostalgia goggles are on a bit tight-'

I play a good number of games that aren't made by Japanese or American devs, but I do play more Japanese games than anything, so them taking up a majority of the real estate on this list makes sense. I should try to look more into games made by devs from other countries more.

Finally figured out all of my top 10 favorite video games list but none of them are entries from Kingdom Hearts, the Legend of Zelda, or Dragon Age, and that feels wrong since those series have been so important to me, so I guess now I have to do top 20 or something just so I can have Majora's Mask, Kingdom Hearts 2, and Dragon Age Origins in there.

Like I'm sorry Hatoful Boyfriend beat you all but alas, I must follow my heart.

[dishesoap]

games i love and u should play, in no particular order:

chrono trigger

an old jrpg from the 90s, chrono trigger is a fantasy/sci-fi game about time travel, magic, and robots, with a fun plot, good gameplay, incredible characters, and one of the best soundtracks ever written.

youll find chrono trigger on best video game lists for a reason. its old, but its great. in fact, chrono trigger was the start and the inspiration for a lot of both jrpg mechanics and other games themselves.

ct is just one of those games You Should Play if you like video games. the base plot doesnt take forever - estimates are at about 20 hours, but you can speed through way faster - or, take the time to get over 10 endings, finish side quests, and have fun.

the beginners guide:

you know the Stanley Parable? this is the same creator.

the beginners guide is a short, introspective game i think everyone who creates content should play. its narrative, a man walking and talking you through short strange little games that his friend coda made. its about the process of creation, the reason, the rewards. the setbacks.

this is one of those games i had to sit quietly for a little bit after playing and feel some stuff. i try and replay it now and then, just cuz.

hatoful boyfriend:

okay. yes. i see all my friends groaning. youre about to as well. but hear me out.

hatoful boyfriend is a japanese dating sim with a twist.

you are a high school age human girl.

you go to a school for birds.

also, you live in a cave.

hatoful boyfriend is one of those games you think is a joke parody - and youre right, mostly, except if you stick with it long enough you stop laughing at the silly photorealistic bird jpegs. usually this is because youre either screaming or crying, but hey.

get through all the base routes and youll unlock the True Arc, which happens to be a murder mystery - and also explains what the fuck is up with the birds. and the human.

just. yes, the bird dating game (and its sequel, holiday star) has a plot. it has a lot of plot twists. some of em youll see coming. some of them you most certainly wont. listen, if you can barrel through the weirdness of it, its a fun, wild ride, and it has what is probably my favorite video game protagonist of all time.

(you, the player character, have base stats of 1 wisdom, 5 charisma, and 800 vitality. you run around screaming things like "MY HUNTER GATHERER BLOOD BOILS" before drop kicking your classmates, your heart is the size of the sun, and you wrestle buffalo for fun. this does not even begin to describe hiyoko's strangeness.)

undertale:

youre reading this on tumblr.

you know what undertale is.

just ignore the fans and the fandom and youll have a good time.

breath of the wild:

you probably know this one too. one of the more recent legend of zelda games, botw is an open world jrpg about a young hero waking up in the wild with no memories, but a huge responsibility.

listen. listen. i dont like games with fighting mechanics that require me to respond quickly. i am slow and bad at games. i also dont like games that are easy to get lost in, bc i am very easily lost, and botw has a HUGE open map. but this is probably one of my top three favorite games ever.

botw has it all - and all of it is amazing and unforgettable. characters, plot, gameplay, music, scenery, heartbreak, comedy-

this is another game you could blow through pretty quickly, or you could do what i did and finish every single sidequest and shrine and upgrade every piece of armor and then track down all 900 korok seeds. its up to you.

night in the woods:

indie side scroller/point and click about a 20 year old coming home from college to her hometown, a dying ex-mining backwater place called possum springs.

nitw is a mystery game, but its also about friendship, mental illness, the supernatural, and the slow, steady, inexorable decline of poor towns and the people in them as jobs disappear and the world crumbles.

its also really, really funny.

nitw also has two little side games - longest night and lost constellation - that are good!

stardew valley:

this is just a cute little farming sim. its well made. its fun. its addicting.

inherit a farm from ur grandfather as he dies on a fucked up bed, then escape to it from your menial soul-sucking office job to grow parsnips, raise cows, pet dogs, be gay, fall in love, make jam, fall down mineshafts, hit slime with swords, and buy probably-not irradiated sprinklers from a blob man in the sewers.

i have too many hours in this game.

pokemon mystery dungeon: explorers of sky

i am very tired of pokemon main games. i have been for years. i firmly advocate that the side games are where its at - and pmd:eos is The Best pokemon side game.

you are an amnesiac human-turned pokemon alongside your best friend, as you join an adventurers guild to explore new lands as well as rescue pokemon in need. but somethings going very wrong in the world, and you might just be connected to it all.

explorers of sky is like, the final version with more stuff, but time/darkness are both versions as well.

even when the plot twists are pretty foreseeable (this is a game written for kids, its pokemon) theyre still really good. i remember being a kid as my sister and i played this together and we both sobbed our little hearts out.

the soundtrack is phenomenal, and the gameplay is fun. its just a good game, yall!

off:

off is a french rpg with a free english translation available for download.

off is weird. you, the batter, are on a mission to purify the world. you travel through the zones of the world, defeating spirits and learning more and more about the strange, anxious drone-like inhabitants, the intimidating guardians, and the weird little side characters you meet - and, eventually, the strange child at the heart of it all.

off is slightly spooky, with a plot that that takes a bit to unravel, but its definitely worth it.

monster prom/camp:

a very lgbt+ friendly series, monster prom is a single or multiplayer american dating sim that really digs into the whole monster schtick. you pick your avatar from a list of monstrous choices, and then increase your stats in hope of being cool, charming, smart, etc enough to pick the right dialogue option and woo your intended monster beau.

monster prom is crass and heartfelt, with numerous wild and wacky endings. play it in a group, play it alone, but its funny and sweet either way.

summon an eldritch deity to watch naruto with you, aid your demon boyfriend in his quest to punch the sun, learn the meaning of life with a computer, get really high on illegal and dangerous substances with a ghost, and so much more.

inside:

spooky little puzzle side scroller/platformer

you are a little boy and you are trying to go somewhere. the world is grey and is trying to kill you.

something is very wrong.

[vellichorom]

did you know i ALSO dabble in spooky monthifying all KINDS of characters? at the PEAK of last october, i spedrun through drawing canons, fancharacters, & OC references in the spooky month artstyle for a thing between friends & DAMMIT I'm STILL PROUD of them!

so here's me flexing a little;

FEATURING! @thedoodlecorner's OCs as WELL as @tomiechu's !!!!

[autoplaysdigimon]

Gonna put a read more because I KNOW I will make this far longer than it has to be:

Part of my list is kinda cheating, but whatever.

I've got all five Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People games (I think that makes me attractive?) and I've only ever finished the first two or three, so at least I know how long they generally take.

Undertale and Psyro 1, I know backwards and forwards, so I know that I can do them in under a day. I've got Spyro 2 and 3 there as well, but I'm fairly sure they take longer since they're slightly more complicated than 1. Ah, well.

Then, there's a few Steam entries. There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension, Papers Please, The Stanley Parable, Long Live The Queen, Hatoful Boyfriend, Monster Prom, Monster Camp and Dude, Stop. I plan on not using any guides for any of these, so this should be interesting. (I'm maybe gonna count any ending in LLTQ as a win, otherwise that's gonna be a lot of trial and error and time lost.)

Pokemon Snap, I know I can take out quickly. Digimon Rumble Arena 1 and 2, I probably can. (I'm counting unlocking all characters as completed.) Same with Super Smash Bros, which I've in fact never played, so that's gonna be a fun time to find out.

Portal 1 is probably one I can do in under a day? Who knows! I'll find out! Definitely not Portal 2, so that's right out.

I've got LeafGreen on there, since I know that's generally recommended as one of the easier Pokemon games, but I'm thinking that one of the newer ones with Exp Share might be quicker. I'm not doing a challenge run or anything, so fuck it!

Now, this one is cheating. I'm counting Deltarune Chapter 1 and 2 as two seperate games, on the basis that they were released at different times. That counts, right?

I put Oregon Trail on the list, because fuck it, why not. And then, Organ Trail??? Spore is probably pretty beatable, considering how unfinished it ended up being. And then, I've got some old DS game called My Little Pony: Pinkie Pie's Party. (Not the FiM generation, sadly.)

I'm planning on having some friends over to play some Jackbox games on my actual birthday, so I guess this is my fucking #theme. That's cool.

So. I've got a particular milestone birthday coming up in just under a month. Had a thought tonight, what if I tried to beat 30 games before then? Thematically appropriate, definitely my kind of thing, sounds like a blast, and I'm unemployed, so free time!

I'd like to keep my progress tracked on here, because why not? If anybody has any recs for games that can be theoretically beaten in under a day, let me know! I've managed to scrounge up exactly 30 games that I'm reasonably confident that I could squeeze in, like Spyro 1 and Undertale. Most of them are games on Steam, which means that I can take screenshots easily.

(I considered putting Heavy Rain on the list, since I know I could power through it, but A: it's not super feasible to hook the PS4 up to the laptop right now, and B: No.)

2 very different rec requests (no hurry on these):

1. a game with a good cooking mechanic that isn't Just a cooking game like cooking mama (not botw, i know about botw)

2. a horror game like ddlc, ie starts out in one peaceful genre and turns into horror either suddenly or gradually (there are a few itchio and game jam games like this, but i'd prefer something longer and more fleshed out)

thanks!!!!!

I've been thinking about this one for hours.

1. Cooking games are really hard. Like, you have fun stuff like Overcooked and Cook, Serve, Delicious, of which I hugely rec Overcooked if you can get literally any other person to play with you. You also have a lot of fun games with abstracted cooking mechanics, but my favorite is far and away Battle Chef Brigade. It should still have a demo, so try it out, it lets you play a big chunk. I found it incredibly charming and fun.

Also I hear very very good things about smaller vignette games, like Hot Pot Panic. But for cooking, you'll mostly find that as a small part of a much larger game, yeah. Out of these, I'd look at Battle Chef Brigade.

2. OH DEAR YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE WRONG PERSON. I haven't played DDLC, I probably never will, but I know a lot about it at least, so lemme see...

If you want another dating sim, I would consider Hatoful Boyfriend actually. After you do all the romance routes, you unlock the Hateful Boyfriend epilogue, which is a shockingly good horror story that uses everything you've learned about the universe so far and expands on it. I'm also fond of the Holiday Star DLC/sequel which has similar tone shifts.

If you liked the way you "solved" the final conflict of DDLC, I would look at Pony Island, which has some similar vibes and mechanics, and is very good.

If you want to try more of an RPG that gets meta and spooky, look into OneShot, which everyone I know played and every one of them deeply loved it.

ETA: OH MAN YOU MIGHT LIKE THE OG OF THE SPOOKY INDIE RPGS, THE UR-EXAMPLE. See if you can find Off. I feel like if I know your vibes, you would really fucc with Off, if you can get into the gameplay loop.

And to my surprise, if you can do an FPS game at all, maybe try out SuperHot. I did not expect that game to go where it did, honestly.

OH OH OH AND THE STANLEY PARABLE AND THE BEGINNER'S GUIDE. Both are horror games, in their own sense.

Hopefully something from that list works. XD
