not so brief skit of a "friendly" conversation between Benny and Archibald.

benny: alright, you want to talk. the other 2 have passed out and zashchitnik is in their own dimension.

archi(pouring a glass of wine): good good. brief starter question, do you drink?

benny: nah, literally not allowed to by any of my family. and cham started agreeing with them after i introduced him for some reason..?

archi: hmm.. i'll have to look into that later...

benny(pouring a glass of water): if i hear from any of em that a gopher harassed em i will start "messing up" on tech i give you.

archi: and here i thought you were done with pointless threats!

benny: no, i'm giving you a chance while still being ready to make stew.

archi: make stew...? never mind. i have different questions, and things i've noticed.

benny(finally taking a seat): like what?

archi: that for one, your pain tolerance is high only because you've been hit and torn apart so much you can't feel low pain levels. and-

benny: blah blah, i already know. and you were going to say i wasn't letting that jake kid heal me because then i would feel things.

archi: hmm.. good you do have some sort of awareness.

benny: please. this is a skit done by someone that draws me as a dog getting the absolute garbage beaten out of it.

archi: ... i swear you make no sense...

benny: if only ya knew..

archi: anyways, in that case... why do you keep calling yourself the "pillar of morality" if you have almost no morals of your own.

benny: ...

archi: glad to see i found something you didn't-

benny: you do realize that someone out there was always the first person to come up with things. our group was not the first one to say killing was immoral.

archi: ... i may need more info than-

benny: like there is a chance some more specific morals are made from specific occasions. for instance don't cheat at cards then run away bleeding out while being hunted only to get found by a blob who will later have your location, cause otherwise you'll be dealing with all kinds of goons from there.

archi: that is... really specific.

benny: but the more vague ones... what could they mean? no killing.

archi: no killing isn't vague-

benny: some children find joy in watching ants get burned, or those really bad villains suffering off screen.

archi: well-

benny: and we generate cells that die in... like 3 years? did i get that right?

archi: now let me spea-

benny: you don't know either you just searched it up and it said 100000 cells die every second? oof. guess we'll never know!

archi: who are you talking to???

benny: continuing! we kill plants so we can nourish ourselves. my point is, murder is more specific because that means something that means something died.

archi: ffffffffffine i guess you're right. but that doesn't change the fact the only reason you have "morals" is because of the others.

benny: yeah.

archi: just.. just "yeah" is your answer????

benny: let me explain it in a way i've scrapped together. i am a code.

archi: ???

benny: each of my morals are a different kind of code. people are connected to bits of it. you take out a strip of code and the entire program will either still work without it, or it'll be reduced to a functionless mess.

archi: well... i guess that does make sense.

benny(glaring at archibald): which means, if you kill enough of the right people, i will lose those morals. eventually deciding to just delete all of them, and gutting whoever decided to get on the wrong side of me or anyone else in the sharp tank.

archi: you're so problematic! yet you still don't tell the others..

benny: if you want to tell em, be my guest.

Raygun Gadabout - explore and fight on Kickstarter

Raygun Gadabout is a puzzle platformer now on Kickstarter for Linux, Mac and Windows. Since gameplay focuses on exploration. The crowdfunding campaign is 12% funded with a pledge of CA$ 25,000 goal. Which is a relatively reasonable goal. This also includes a Demo, with Linux support. So there are two main components: Planet side and galactic travel. The goal is to give you the freedom to explore. While doing some platforming, solving puzzles and blasting hostile aliens. Sounds like my typical Tuesday. Also equipping new abilities as you seek to liberate the galaxy. Working to overcome the the clutches of the Space Gopher Empire. Grab your raygun and board your ship. Since players will have to use your ship to travel between planets. While exploring exploring the cosmos. Discovering spatial anomalies and derelict ships.

Raygun Gadabout Kickstarter Trailer (Linux, Mac and Windows)

Features:

Dynamic Combat: Adapt to your enemies, switching between ranged and melee attacks. Defend yourself with your shield and reflect enemy attacks back at them.

Discover New Powers: New abilities allow you to explore previously unreachable places. Bring the fight to the toughest foes with equippable perks like improved shield reflect damage, health regeneration, charged shots and many more!

Meet the galaxy’s colourful cast of characters: Encounter friendly aliens, cold-blooded space pirates, merciless bounty hunters, and fascist space gophers.

Download the demo (Linux Mac and Windows)

Either directly from Itch or Gamejolt.

The demo plays pretty well on Linux. But if the game hangs, which it could. Checkout the Windows build via Wine. The menu system for Video hung for me and had to restart the game. Hence a Unity 3D creation in it's early form. The combat is built around shooting and melee. So you need to switch up your tactics depending on what enemy you are fighting. You have unique abilities to help you deal with the lasers, deadly raptorial limbs, gnashing teeth, and toxic bile blobs that the galaxy’s denizens will hurl your way. Shielding is a great way to stay alive. What's the fun in cowering behind cover when you can jump into the fray. Reflecting enemy projectiles back in their ugly faces. A handy feature. Raygun Gadabout has 25 days to go for the crowdfunding campaign. So check out the Kickstarter. Since the platformer is coming to Linux, Mac and Windows in August 2019.

"... that... Okay, I have seen some wild stuff in my time, but that takes the cake. Gopher with a raygun... I've met a talking dog and that still beats it. Anything really is possible, huh?"

"Yeah, not as cool as a gopher with a raygun. They wear a classy little three piece suit. And yeah, he most likely would. He's very grumpy...but from what I hear about his origin, it's explainable."

[figitorynonsense]

just finished watching "gopher with a raygun"

and

harhahrhar

basically benny and champagne's date.

champagne: did- did a rodent spend more time learning about things i hate than my job??? i mean it's still throwing those things at me, but at least that would be intentional.

vasilia: sneaky sneaky we gonna go save my idiots!

benny: hfffffff.... we gonna die, this is gonna be my fault, and hell he might not even really be wanting to do this at all, and i'm just dragging him into trouble- no no no, c'mon! snap out of it! we gonna make it out alive, just gotta figure out how to- that's a big one...

archibald: frickin- DIE ALREADY YOU PRICK!!!

heath: zzzzzzzzzzzzz

[therummonster]

Benny: i don't got kids myself-

Everyone: Bullsh*t.

a couple of them have videos tied to them, others don't. top left: post multiverse melee. bottom left: ai dragons.

i hope this is pretty good, and i didn't have any references besides for Tayrun and Astra. their outfits are weird! and i love em.

i also want to give a special little bit for just for the amount of detail i like to put into blood, which shows in the top left. there's some scrape detailing on the palm of his hand, bandages with blood soaking through, along with more seeping through the jacket. there's also neck bandages which correlate to the scar in all of the other pictures!

EATING THESE UP LIKE A 5 COURSE MEAL-

also, number 2 is the most perfect summary of gopher with a raygun

Lol, I love finding fun art bases. Almost as much as I love champagne, 🤖🤡x🍾🦖

[therummonster]

it's the fancy rat itself! always making sure to dress appropriately for crashing dates and tossing into dimensions filled with the acid trip monsters and dinosaurs.

we got a scene from "Gopher with a Raygun" where it makes a very clear threat. (top right)

a post truce gopher threat (bottom right)

(top left) getting pets from a lobotomized murderer that escaped from an interdimensional prison

and finally waiting for Vasilia and Heath to stop flirting with each other so they can arrive on time.

[therummonster]

not only have i found out that these lovely people let the GOPHER WITH A RAYGUN keep its overseer powers, but i have managed to confirm a theory of mine, slightly.

Dresden is mentioned pretty early on i'd say, if you listen to the first 2 minutes of the dragon fusion brawl, you'd hear Astra talking to an overseer named Dresden.

Astra mentions a type of robot, which lead on to their interest in Charlie during the start of battle for the beast world.

The reason i bring this up, is because Dresden is the name of the backcells overseer.

so! Charlie was created by Dresden. this good robo boi got evil in him!
