if my liver fails ily all
this man made undertale. this man made deltarune. this man permanently rewired my brain chemistry at the age of 10. this man made me cry over a fictional goat. this man is a talented pianist/composer. this man got the music he made arranged by an orchestra. this man is responsible for inspiring hundreds upon thousands of indie devs to create.
and you're FUCKING TELLING ME HE MADE HOMESTUCK MPREG????
Upon further listening, this is really funny. Like yes this is Homestuck mpreg, but it’s clearly done as a joke. The script also helps.
After learning that Toby reused the last track for a Pokemon game, I think I have come to terms with TBIY's existence. It is neither clever nor witty, and that is where it gets its charm.
The baby was me all along.
it does suck that “person who hates tiktok, genshin impact and league of legends purely on the grounds that they’re afraid the ccp is going to steal their information” is such a large population considering all three of those things suck for an infinite amount of reasons that have nothing to do with the fact they’re owned by a chinese company.
actual reason to hate tiktok: I was bullied off of there by receiving a million comments a day calling me antisemitic and transphobic slurs
not an actual reason to hate tiktok: racism against chinese people
some day “milf is a slur” discourse will break out and there will be no survivors
good news OP, quite a few people were upset that we called our yuri milf game a milf game, and were even further scandalized to learn it was for a “yuri” game jam because yuri is a bad word also now, too, for some reason
!!! @xekstrin you can’t just mention a yuri milf game and not gives us links to plug it!! I want to know!! I want to know about the yuri milfs!!!
It’s called Love On The Peacock Express you play as a cocky detective on a train full of milfs who have mysteries to solve
I didn’t know @tealesbian was a game developer
I was onboard for that until I learned that the game was funding baby-murder :(
this post really has everything huh
The notes on this post are like the elephants foot
Great post guys
this site is god’s little gift.
You may not like to hear this, but Cruelty Squad is the best cyberpunk game out there. All your Cyberpunk 2077, and Stray, and Deus Ex games, plated in shiny chrome, don't grasp the core essence of cyberpunk nearly as well as Cruelty Squad, a game made of filth and disease. It's barely even cyber as well, it honestly leans into biological augments more than cybernetic ones.
But that doesn't matter. Because the absolute core of Cruelty Squad, is that the world is a sick, corrupt festering thing, twisted by greed, corruption, and unrestrained capitalism. Human life has no value, and this is explicitly seen in the narrative and in the game mechanics. And the thing that really stands out is that it deliberately tries to shock and disgust the player.
Sure, many cyberpunk games purport to engage in those themes, of greed, corruption, etc. But there is a dissonance. We are told narratively that this world is horrible, but visually, we see a cool, technologically advanced world, where people are badasses. And the problems in these settings are close enough to our own, real life problems, that a slightly enhanced dystopia might not seem so bad, when it comes with such technological advancement.
Cruelty Squad does not do that. There are no badass characters in the game, rather a series of pathetic, pitiable wretches who act in despicable ways, lacking empathy or humanity. The augments are horrific in such a way that the player does not fantasize about having them in real life. All of the textures are disgusting, and deliberately so. The sounds are abrasive and offputting. Even the UI is hideously ugly. It isn't poorly designed of course. But rather, designed in such a way that the player should never develop a hint of sympathy, longing, or good feelings for any aspects of that world. The underlying assumptions underpinning the cyberpunk genre are not to be romanticized, but rather exposed as a viscerally loathsome thing, which makes one reluctant to touch any part of a world tainted by it.
There aren't a lot of games which linger, and occupy headspace. But Cruelty Squad is one of them.
