After a period of trial and error, I have attained the Torch God's Favor!

Speaking of the Nurse, I love her line for when she's not particularly satisfied or dissatisfied with her housing:

"My vital signs are normal, if that's what you're asking."

The Nurse: *does the /mad and /curse emotes back to back*

I have officially turned my Terraria character into Black Mage Final Fantasy.

Ah, good to know.

Also I think this implies that Ch. 4 takes place on Saturday, which means that the Hometown Church holds its mass(? "meets") on Saturdays which is interesting, 'cause for me it was always Sunday.

Unless they moved that week's congregation back a day 'cause of the festival.

Losing it at folks in the quotes calling ostensibly good, or at worst fine, games the worst they've ever finished. Please play actual dogshit to recalibrate your tastes.

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

What were the Egg Seller's hints again?

On Thursday(?) he goes to the bake sale, on Friday (?) he goes... somewhere? On Saturday, he leaves it(?) to cool, on Sunday, he...?

just in case anyone needs the confirmation - our class had an editor from a well-known comics publisher come in today and told us she won't even look at the dead bird app anymore when they're looking for artists. hosting your own website for your art (or here on bsky!) is the best right now.

None of the gifs loaded so I really hope this is the right one.

It's supposed to be a gif of that one guy going "Oh shit, a rat!" as he hops around.

"Planet Ticket"
A ticket with a design of a ringed planet on it.
Turning this in guarantees that the next Challenge floor will host the "War Against Zero" event.

Zero the Black Mage @zerothefool.bsky.social · 18h

Random game idea I had last night:

Some form of wave-/round-based top down beat-'em-up.

Can save between rounds (or maybe every 5th round?)

Different "challenge" waves every 10 rounds (boss battles, no shops, etc.)

One of Amy Rose's sprites from Sonic Advance (2? I don't remember which game I took it from), with her fur hue shifted to be green.

An arrow labelled "Poisoned" is pointing to her.

"Zero's Hundred-Round Havoc" for a working title.

Name would be "Zero's (something-or-other)", tying in with other side-projects of mine

Has an Etrian Odyssey-/7th Dragon-style character creator (choose a class, portrait with pre-set color scheme, and name)

Could RPG Maker be used to make something like this? I mean, probably, but...
