raocow's talkhaus

raocow can we call you LP-zo from now on

Deepnest, too, is a sort of dream, albeit of the twisting, claustrophobic kind where the out-of-focus world is not blurred by a soft fog, but by blackness and cold stone, a place whose angles seem to bespeak a certain structure, yet one which dissolves and reforms (but not before your eyes, never be...

You know, bugs make some pretty nice-looking cities.

"So the sign shaped like your weapon indicates a shop where you can upgrade your weapon? Good luck figuring that out!" - raocow (paraphrased).

I'm so glad it's the lazy games that we get to see twice. It's raocow's determined to put in the effort where the creators just couldn't be arsed.

I'm not sure exactly what the point of having Tengu Man in this game is when he doesn't shout "HERE YOU GOOOO!"

Man or Astro Man just isn't the same without Space Magic.

Ah, jazzy tunes and eyeball monsters...could there be a more perfect combination?

X8 did not exist back then. Zero's ending from X6 directly sets up MMZero as those games were developed concurrently, and it's shown there that X6-design Zero seals himself away to later be awakened by Ciel I know about the BIG Zero 3 spoiler but that doesn't change this at all . There is no reason...

In case someone not familiar doesn't know, Zero isn't supposed to look any different in-universe, it's only the art style that has changed. So in-universe, Zero looks he did from the X series. As many people have said, this is basically just another artist's lens into the world of Megaman X/Zero, s...

Oh, Hobo Sigma, you're still the hobiest. And a perfect metaphor for this game. For that reason, you will always has a special, half-completed place in our robotic hearts.

Probably all the dying

Youtube keeps recommending a video for me called "What Celeste borrows from Mario". Never mind that the entire game is basically Jumper-flavored Knytt Stories, or that this level here in particular borrows its central concept from Final Fantasy Legend, noooooo, it's always just Mario.

I'll say this for Ground Scaravich's level: they certainly chose the appropriate boss motif for such a stage.

There were something like 180 entries, so yes, there's a huge swath of mediocrity in the middle. I don't know what you're talking about; I'm sure spamming tile 1F0 like it's 1990 and the future still means flying cars is all you need for a fun and interesting level filled with Big Larfs TM and I do...

Yeah, so this game is literally "What if the Jumper dude made Knytt Stories?"

Also, I hear those blued-out strawberries are actually turnips

Phun historical linguistics phact: "laguz" is a Proto-Germanic word meaning "sea" or "lake" or other body of water (It is also presumably the name of the L-rune, ᛚ, in the Elder Futhark, called "lǫgr" in the Younger Futhark and "lagu" in the Anglo-Fr...

Oh, like Dr. Cain could ever keep his identity secret. Why, he can't even utter five words without throwing in the odd "Dr. Cain!"

Oh, mamma mia.

Can we declare this to be Luigi's canon voice now? I think we can.

Silly raocow, languages tend to diverge over time rather than congeal. The future is unlikely to be exempt from this rule, scifi clichés created primarily by Anglophone monolinguals aside. Even if you were to start a new society on the moon with just one language, it would almost certainly diverge i...

Much like the sun rising in the west, it's good to see that thorn dawn still follows day and precedes night in raoland.

You know, I was a bit skeptical about the use of Super Mario Advance voice clips in this game at first, but with respect to Mario clipping through the ground and plunging headlong in to the abyss today, I must concede that the words "Ooooooooh, mamma mia!" were never more on point.

Bit of an updraught on Mario's cape there.

Justice Man has seen better days.
