raocow's talkhaus

Say question: Was creating a species with the acronym ABCD a reference to the A-side, B-side, C-side, and rare D-side of raocow's let's plays?

Serac is what you'd get from combining Cackletta from Superstar Saga with Neptune from Hyperdimension Neptunia. I like her. I also am reminded of the "Therac 25" radiotherapy machine that killed people due to a software bug. This is a fun spin on a town, I laughed when the rinkah scored a ...

As someone noted in the YT comments, the ABCD Uncles all fit a particular archetype of uncles: Broadsword was the "cool" uncle that takes you on epic adventures, Denmark is the rich uncle that isn't close to you but brings epic christmas gifts, @sbestos is the beleaguered uncle too overwhe...

That was one intense marathon! Feels like quite the difficulty spike though, and raocow sounded rather frustrated by the end. Glad all the characters got a time to shine. Gotta say though, given how cheery and close-nit the Krew usually is, it felt jarring for Iris to suddenly insult raocow, Kood, a...

Pumpernickle's boss fight was one rad brawl, the animations and sound effects are beautiful! Feels disappointing Broadsword was not involved at all though. Do I hear small ethereal snippets of Ievan Polkka in that "End of Time" soundtrack e.g. at 28:31? Love that this game has a concept ar...

Oh my some fear of controversy is there? Well, my two cents: I didn't feel issue with how Rewind's racism is portrayed. Mainly because even before he is explicitly revealed as an ABCD supremacist, he's already established as someone who would consign untold souls to temporal oblivion and potentially...

Portal huh? That's a fun game. Have we seen raocow face down 3D physics puzzles before? I'm curious how that'll go.

That was an intense level, suitable for what's at stake. But having Regulus's boss fight only take half his healthbar and then be just jumping on him in place... a choice alright. And man, he becomes a bigger jerk every time we see him! At least Broadsword remains a barrel of laughs, the joke where ...

How important IS "The Artist" to established canon? While y'all note ASMT's lore was not taken seriously, they are mentioned in Demo's bio in this game. Is that just a throwaway throwback reference?

The minigames programmed into this platformer never disappoint. Also, is Pop'N TeeB the first time raocow has played a touhou-like bullet hell on Video? Raobot is my favorite boss so far! Also the NPCs in that city are based on one of those oughties social sites aren't they? They've the vibe, but I ...

PLOT PLOT PLOT PLOT PLOT I loved the final level of the epoch, the sudden swapping between different funky effects is fitting for the climax of the glitch world! But man the real that Broadsword was horribly neglectful, borderline abusive, towards Iris puts a huge damper on the heartwarming moment f...

I did not expect such tragic feels in my wacky raocow romhack. Poor Broadsword. Man, A Super Mario Thing lore is dark. I wonder, when Talkhaus first started making a game about Demo fighting King Charlie, did they envision that Demo and her closest friends would be among the few scenarios of genocid...

"The Ups and Downs of a Demo"'s puzzles seemed overwhelming at first with all those moving parts on screen. I figured it out eventually, but I am seriously impressed raocow figured it out so quickly. Especially given how clueless he can be sometimes. Also yeah the Epochalypse has a LOT of ...

With the hallucinogenic effects and nighmares of your loved ones becoming enemies, ANMT reminds me of Tanetane Island from Mother 3. Also, why does raocow call that nightmare face the 'platypus god', is that a reference?

I didn't expect a Yume Nikki/Cat Planet(/Dangan Ronpa?) crossover with influence from the Scouring of the Shire in this wacky Mario hack. The vibes were great, though the level was a little lacking in actual gameplay. Regarding re-entering the sheriff's building, were there plans for Uboa to do thei...

That moment in the cutscene where Iris gets suspicious of Denmark, and because she's in her cat costume she rears up her posterior on the 'narrowed eyes' sprite.... I love it so much, it's fascinating how expressive getting turned into a quadrupedal cat lets the ABCD be!

Dang you can tell Kood's glacial speed of pulling up meat really messed with raocow's muscle memory in that tight spot. Playing as Kood in a turtle-themed level makes sense and it was a fun level in general, but it's disappointing there were no visible sea turtles in the level itself. Unless Kood is...

Hot dang those cat "costumes" are really impressive transformations! How long does something like that take to make? After 'yall said you decided against making super crown transformations because they were too much work, I figured that alternate costumes that complex were not viable to ma...

raocow's water level looks really fun! Guess our bovine can make levels after all. And man, raocow's in game sprite looks so cute and happy!

Boy the devs of this game sure like experimenting with different sorts of darkness mechanics huh? Well, I'm not complaining. And they looked cool this time around! The non-newtonian "quicksand that's solid if you move fast" mechanic is cool on paper, but the enemy placement seems tailor ma...

That raocow toad costume is so cute I want it!

Anyways, having world 3 be split into two sub-world linked at the hub town is interesting. And we learn where the Chronotons come from. Why did they leave though?

That engine revving sound was INTENSE, really made the military vibe feel more serious than cartoony. In a world of vegetable-hunting cyclops demons, world-hopping Canadians, stupid horses, and shelled blob monsters, Garish feels unusually grounded as a political satire about the evils of anti-commu...

Whoa raocow made us some intense Bullet (Bill) Hell! That touhou influence huh :3 And what a coincidence that the project ended up with so many military-themed snow levels that an entire world about it could be made! All this talk about A2XT2's spaghetti code, I guess that comes with the territory o...

Damn that was one action-packed finale!

I'm glad raocow introduced us to this great game. Makes great use of webbing mechanics, while being a cute insect experience. And lasers. A labor of love indeed!

I know the flopping raocow loading screen is supposed to be a reference to that old bouncing touhous meme, but I can't help but think of Here Comes Niko and how raocow took to traversing by belly-flopping across the land at speed.
