Whaaaaat

That's really cool... Really like the design of these cards too. Looks like there are a couple more cards than Discord statuses, though... what are those :3

Also I would definitely be feeling and fidgeting with those cards too if I got my paws on them x3

Hey You Should Play Cobalt Core!

I've liked to describe it as cozier FTL, though, it also has a lot in common with Slay the Spire and has a cute cast and fun dialog. The soundtrack is also really good, so I also recommend checking that out at least if you don't play it.

Oh I hadn't heard of that one at all! Looks lovely, looks creatureful, that's going in my wishlist.

I just realized this thread is jul 202*3* oops ha

Yeah I decided to remove the necroposting warnings for a while after trying to revive the forums so people don't get discouraged by the big scary red text at the reply form

My current major project is a vacuum forming table

What's that?

I will bite whomsoever does it

Whoops, sorry i aws one of the new users without posts :-[
i felt like i needed to draw a new icon for myself before posting, for no good reason. but that's been a thing for me since i was on touhou forums in 2012

Personally I keep digging up old ones to use  :D

Oh yeah I've wanted to change the emote text to a more familiar :emote_name: but I keep forgetting to do that.

The ranks are all based on post count, they don't really do anything other than change the color of your name. There are such ranks up to 1000 posts, but nobody got that far yet  ;)

Oh that's odd. all the pages load near instantly for me, I wonder if anyone else has that problem but hasn't said anything...

Woahh... Can you Imagine the coolness factor you'd exude from gaming on this thing on a subway train or sommat?
Older folks from peak Gameboy era would get a kick out of it especially with how it's laid out.

Yeah! It looks so cool, especially with the transparent shell, which is the option I picked especially because of the coolness factor. There is also a SNES-style color scheme and one that directly references the original Gameboy.

It also feels really sturdy and solid, it could probably survive a substantial fall (but I'm not willing to test that theory)

@revoblam doing this for you btw
maybe i can use the forum games board to organize some sort of RPG campaign based on Atrea but i'd need more people 4 that

During the whole time these forums were dormant I did not even get to post about my hyperfixation over the Powkiddy V10 and the Nintendo 2DS XL I bought over the last year.

They're actually so much fun in their own different ways. The Powkiddy V10 is, like many devices of its class, meant for retro emulation for consoles up to the PlayStation, and its aspect ratio of 3:2 is perfect for the Game Boy Advance specifically, where it can perfectly upscale by 2x with its resolution of 480x320... but it is an ARM Linux machine, so you can plug a keyboard and tap away at the terminal, and you can run Linux native games as well, which allowed me to port a game I made in 2019



The Powkiddy does not have Wi-Fi built in, which is kind of crazy in $current_year, but you can plug a Wi-Fi dongle onto the USB-C port and that actually allows system updates and this little thing called PortMaster, where a bunch of people already put in the work into getting games like Balatro, Celeste, Deltarune and a whole lot more, working on these things.

I only found out about these devices and the fact there is a whole community dedicated to them last year. I am kind of itching to get a few more, different models, of these kinds of devices soon, they're a lot of fun to play on and hack into.

I've been playing ATLYSS again lately, since it's gotten an update... Made a new character after the patch, and she's already my highest level character, a Lv. 25 Mystic. I also finally beat the Colossus, which I hadn't been able to do yet...

It's a lot of fun! It's become another one of the games I play to pass time while I listen to podcasts in the background. It's really easy to get in a flow state while playing, really great.



Still didn't get to explore much of the new content in this latest patch. I did fish for a while with some friends, though the fishing mechanic seems a little superficial... It's not the new Webfishing for sure ;D

When I'm playing brain-turned-off games, I usually listen to podcasts and the sort, usually news commentary, but given The News these days, it's not always ideal to just listen to those sorts of things :-[

A couple days back I stumbled upon the Adventure is Nigh! series, which is a D&D podcast, and those tend to be fun, and indeed I quite liked tuning into the first few episodes.

I'm still searching for more sources of background noise for my future gaming and perhaps artistic endeavors, what do you usually listen to?

I'll use this thread to notify of changes, since those shouldn't warrant new threads every time.
