Post-gamedev nap with Kabe

Working on a very basic visual novel script system and parser for it. :3

I haven't had much gamedev time so I had to spend a bunch of time remembering how to use my own game engine T_T lol

Hypnospace Outlaw is on PlayStation?? :o
It's $6 right now...

The Time Splitters games are $5 each.

Nostalgic.

Dishonored is $5 but I also don't buy Microsoft. 😜

Ass Creed Origins is 90% off - $5.99.

Too bad I don't buy Ubisoft anymore, either.

Oh I haven't finished Vanisher's Ghosts of New Eden, which I put down in 2024 before mom was diagnosed with cancer.

I want to complete the story but this one might be hard to get through without crying.

I guess I could trophy grind Fantasy Life i, Harvest Moon Winds of Anthos, Visions of Mama, or Hades 1.

Pffff those early-30s babies. So young. Not an old late-30s person like me. Darn kids. Meh!!

Anyway yet another game where I'm older than all the protagonists 🙄 lol at least they aren't high schoolers though. I'm just 4-5 years older than they are.

I'm confused about the math in Expedition 33. If the counter goes down each year, and the current year is the # of people affected by the curse thing, then mathematically couldn't someone have been, say, 33 LAST YEAR when the number was 34, then turn 34 THIS YEAR and avoid the targeting of 33 […]

I'm wondering if we're only gonna have 4 characters throughout the game. If it's gonna be 1 dour stubble man and 3 ladies, might as well had just made it 4 ladies. Make the lead a sad lady who is missing her girlfriend. Make it like a girl version of Final Fantasy 15. Girls road trip. ;P

- I HATE modern interfaces that just "zoom" in the current selected item because it's not visually distinct enough. Put a glowing border around it or something.

- I hate a list where you can't press "down" from the bottom item and get back to the top instantly.

- PS5 complaint, games choosing […]
