A Little Sip Of Coffee For Scolipede Please? A Little Sip Would Not Hurt Scolipede. Please Put Cup On Snout For A Little Sip For Scolipede Just A Little Taste

Enormous alpha Scolipede in Pokémon za looking down at my player character’s outdoor cafe table in the silent imploring way only very big dogs are able to do, staring down silently, being Very Good about simply not leaning down and grabbing it

Are the people of Lumiose City okay

*sigh* Another day of not being reincarnated as a Pokémon...

Kid: "What's more important? You loved ones or you Pokémon!?"

Parent: "You can't just ask someone that kind of thing!"

Old man: I only want to eat tasty food. Who knows how many meals I got left?

My bed's nice and soft, so I let my Pokémon sleep on it. I get the hard sofa.

Metroidvanias are either Protestant or
Catholic. Castlevania? Catholic, of course. Metroid? Protestant. Blasphemous is Catholic. Dead Cells, Protestant.

Hollow Knight is Protestant, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is Catholic. That's why people are complaining the game is hard.
Cause it's Catholic now.

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. "
"You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

> the worst game you ever finished

i don't finish many games i dislike, but of the ones i have, i'd pick frogger the great quest. glitchy gameplay and aggressively annoying soundbites. only upside is it's easy to complete in under 2 hours

👻 eldritchkraken 🎃 @eldritchkraken.bsky.social · 1d

i'm 5 hours into the mosaic of the strange demo. it keeps giving me new puzzles lol

(3/2) oh also wanted to add mosaic of the strange has some bitchin' music. very x-files/twin peaks-y vibe. definitely wishlisting this

👻 eldritchkraken 🎃 @eldritchkraken.bsky.social · 2d

(2/2) * hidden cats: beautiful pixel art, but not a lot to do. i finished the demo in <10 minutes
* mosaic of the strange: another picross/mosaic kinda game with an alien/fbi flavoring. extremely generous demo they let you solve a ton of puzzles, im not even halfway finished after >1 hour.

(1/2) my delve into #steamnextfest continues:
* seance of blake manor: love the setting, very intriguing mystery solving mechanics, something between a point-and-click and danganronpa. had some graphical bugs
* berserk b.i.t.s: this has been on my wishlist a while, cool megaman.exe inspired idler!

A Procreate doodle of Lieutenant Columbo, piloting his own version of Mega Man's Rush Marine, that consists of his basset hound Dog. There's a tiny floating cigar near Columbo 's mouth, and it's very likely it's filling the cockpit with cigar smoke.

(2/2) rita: nice cozy game, the secret worlds reminded me of mario odyssey/sunshine. the details newspaper photos filling in as you accomplish things is really cute.

planning on getting to the demos of seance of blake manor and berserk b.i.t.s tomorrow!

👻 eldritchkraken 🎃 @eldritchkraken.bsky.social · 4d

(1/2) played some #steamnextfest demos last night, some opinions:
* cinicross: picross meets dungeon crawler, cool idea as a picross enjoyer myself
* heaven does not respond: im a sucker for these retro desktop type games, love the idea of decoding the vids. coulda done without the self harm imagery
