raocow's talkhaus

I should probably also post about this here... folks have been revisiting SANICS and playing through it day by day, with at least one person doing it for the sake of the "Pointless Authenticity" joke achievement. And as cool as it is that folks are enjoying Calleoca's adventure again, they...

For some reason, I forgot that "Pily" was pronounced as "Pilly" (rhyming with "Silly"). All this time I've been saying it in my head as "Piley" (as in "Smiley" or "Miley Cyrus"). I haven't forgotten but I do need to keep mentally correctin...

I can't believe raocow's finally going to play Shrek SuperSlam for the nintendo ds

Tiki, you’re completely undercutting your apology by going all “you should be grateful I’m continuing to derail the thread” (edit: actually I got the order of things in your post mixed up in the process of trying to track down the images for mine, that’s not even really an apology. you just tacked o...

I don’t think Denmark’s exact diet was ever established but I can say with 87% certainty that would be an unpleasant experience for both of them anyhow, crossposting my thoughts on this game from the spotzone: camwoodstock called this game a cryptid in the thread so now as far as I’m concerned the p...

iirc a while ago Grant was complaining about getting “cancelled” for supporting the Harry Potter franchise so… yeah. Shame to hear about Wise though, was hoping at least one kong-related composer from my childhood wouldn’t turn out to be a chud. But then these days it seems like every other big game...

I mean, I wasn't responding to the tweet alone but the combo of it and "either way pixel art has specific rules and you're clearly not understanding that aspect of it" + the resulting discussion. It seemed like a 180 from your stance about people being dogmatic about game design...? I will...

He already confirmed during the

will come after he's done with the Sonics.

Yeah, like... not gonna lie, this seems like a weird double standard to hold between level design/gamedev and pixel art. Regardless of the medium, there's never any one "correct" way to make a work, and the fun and personal satisfaction of creation should ideally take priority over some ne...

You know, if folks want to see raocow play a more traditional-style visual novel, there's always the option of downloading Ren'py and making a ( short! ) one for this year's advent christmas thingamajig. Here's some prompts to get the creative juices flowing: Mishi's Zoo Misadventures, Mega Man Goes...

THEREFORE. WE CAN. CONCLUDE. THAT SUMBARINES. ARE. A COLLECTIVE HALLUCINATION.

Yeah, they're meant to be homages to Phoenix and Winston, not full-on cameos.

...wait.

I just don't understand why you brought up IP rights anyway, and followed it up with preferring "devs that have the owner's/original creators' go-ahead", if you find it completely inappropriate or malicious to respond to those parts. How am I supposed to talk about this part in a way that...

You were responding to half of a statement in a way that misrepresented the statement. They are doing something that not just Sega doesn't want, but the Sonic fangame community overall . There's a whole other conversation to be had about IP and if we were to dig into that you'd find I'm far from the...

the Omens devs knowingly and repeatedly try to monetize their project against the terms of the IP owner [...] which is, at the very least, a jerk move rethink this You know, Leet, a part of me still wants to give you the benefit of the doubt that you're arguing in good faith, but when you cherrypic...

I mean, I wasn't trying to be alarmist. I just shared the Sonic Adventure Central tweets because I remember seeing them at the time and I think they sum up the situation with Omens decently well. With that said, Nintendo (not The Pokemon Company, Nintendo ) does tend to only go after fangames that e...

Sonic Omens, isn't that the one that... ah, yep.

If it helps, raocow, the limits on when you can ghost are probably at least partly the result of scope management and technical restrictions. If you were able to interrupt every transition characters take between different states of movement/animation, that'd require designing and programming things...

Marvel: "Avengers Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover event in history"
Hololive EN literally an hour ago:

(and, obviously, it's unfinished and hasn't been updated in over a year). I mean, fwiw, about four pages ago I did share a pretty recent tweet by the P-06 dev on the status of a new demo https://twitter.com/ChaosX2006/status/1420793608425426947 Granted, who knows how long that'll still be... but th...

oh gods that was unfortunate :atsy: I think up until yesterday you'd always been saving just after hard changes of time or setting -- as in, immediately after jumping to the past, right after returning to the present, after you regain control upon arriving at a brand new area, and the one time at th...

imo the cartoony "hand puppet" art style has its own charm, and there's always ways to expand and improve on aesthetics like it. I do think some of the Reignited designs are marked improvements over the originals, but for a lot of them the choice to tone down more exaggerated proportions a...
