raocow's talkhaus

Dang guess I'm never playing Nier Automata. There's no way I'm slotting it into my schedule so time to finally experience it the rao way. Also kind of shocked DMC1 didn't make the cut, but at least Poyo did.

7. The Iterators *Warning, additional spoilers for those learning about the world via these posts: Given my understanding isn't the rain usually a lot... less destructive? I'm pretty sure there is a specific reason why this area of the world has such particularly devastating rain. Anyway, thank you...

Oh great, now look what you did raocow:



It wouldn't be a raocow LP without mid-LP updates, I-I guess.

farm arrays is the worst region because even when it does work and you know what to do, it's a coinflip between being boring or frustrating. waiting: the region!! also i'm realziing i forgot to update the map, will do that lol I said it was realizing the depths of what the lore quest asked of you t...

0. Pretext: So. It’s been long enough. What the HELL is happening in Rain World? Who built all this stuff? What are those weird alien robots? Why is the rain Like That? Those are good questions! They’re gonna take a while to answer. Obviously, everything in this and future lore logs is going to be,...

As someone who played pretty recently, I'm interested to hear this area was added in the DLC, because it was my full assumption that this was always the "intended" route to Five Pebbles, connecting shaded citadel to that area. If this didn't exist in the original, how were you meant to ge...

I wish them the best, but honestly having played Penny's Big Breakaway that game feels a lot more in line with what I expected from this game in terms of "highly technical momentum-based 3D platformer," and would probably prefer watching raocow play that before another string of one tile p...

When's the 5th Cousin Thrice Removed whose name is just a bunch of unicode symbols

Stay tuned for the hit new ABCD, 彁!

You clever 挧.

Not that I can blame raocow for being in the situation he is thanks to the overseer being Extremely Helpful, but I find it a little funny to imagine the intended path of the game being Outskirts -> Follow the path to this calm blue alien-like being -> go several blind directions and descend into he...

I am aware this is a zero spoiler playthrough, but I just realized a concern that I'm not sure if it should be followed up on or not: I recall doing some reading that the colored gems like the one raocow found today will be permanently lost if you drop or otherwise lose them outside of depositing t...

Those are some massive birds. Probably have an official name somewhere but I like Vultra / Ultra Vulture. Thank goodness that thing was focussed on the floaty squid things. Funnily I also dubbed them "ultravultures" at the time. I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks there's somethin...

I have no recollection of this place but when I gave up on Rain World I was in a completely different place. I don't know if you can go more than one direction from the start or if they updated things or if my memory is just bad. There's two primary exits from Outskirts that I'm aware of, and raoco...

"A nimble omnivore, both predator and prey. Lost in a harsh and indifferent land you must make your own way, with wit and caution as your greatest assets. I've found it low-key hilarious that raocow ended up making a misassumption about literally the one thing the game actually tells you about...

Having completed the Survivor story, I can see why the game has the reputation it does. I look forward to coming back to it once other commitments have freed up, but man is it one of the strangest games I've ever played. Absolutely gorgeous and designed perfectly for what it aims to be, but what an ...

raocow should play blood. it's old as fuck (from like 95????) but i think he'd vibe with it a ton. i'd royal it eventually but i'd rather force him into sophie's choicing a garbage jrpg (i'd take care to not make him play a grindy menu simulator like draque ofc. im not THAT mean) Of all the classic...

Personally I just enjoy the extreme juxtaposition between the way A2XT2 handles the perspective change and the way Betterified did just a few months ago.

A pre-emptive tip for the comet for raocow to open if all else fails:

Now that the game is over (save for the ending with additional gameplay content if raocow chooses to pursue it), I think this is some interesting thoughts and lore on the fae from the developers: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1772830/view/5710059703145895039?l=english A neat and interestin...

As a Nintendo baby, Halo was a series I never had access to, so it'll be quite interesting to experience it in the only correct way: From the third game with no context. I did some reading into how the HP system works, since it sounds like the game will never give you hard numbers. Basically: Intern...

The threat of impending LPs has finally pushed me to play through Rain World, and I have to say the game has been quite a journey so far. I've gone out of my way to avoid learning anything about the story or gameplay in the years since I first heard about it, and what definitely lives up to what lit...

I respect how this game goes all in on "hey we have a weird gimmick that's kind of hard to use but feels great if you can master it. You wanna master it?" It feels reminiscent of the kinds of strange games you would find online back in the 2000s. The fae lore is pretty neat as well.

A few days ago I finished 100%ing Little Goody Two Shoes, an absolute gem of a horror game with life sim elements. I checked it out on the strength of its promotional material alone, and the opening is probably a good indication of if it is up one's alley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Eri-A4pvc8...

I've been really looking forward to this one. The common criticisms of Galaxy 2's story stand, but as a game I think the game is a straight upgrade over the original. Galaxy 1 has some individual highs, but 2 imo is a much more consistent. Probably my favorite 3D Mario game, even if certain aspects ...

I'm going to assume things went exactly as expected, honestly. I was expecting this to take Furi amounts of decimal videos to finish, but if raocow didn't we might have a bad time coming.
