i know you're joking but hatred is nigh unplayable, even if you're into edgelord shit. distinctly remember /v/irgins on 4ch saying that it played like absolute ass on top of having a ridiculous infantile premise. just play postal

Rasmus does do something fairly important, but I think for your playthrough it's best not to worry about that and use whatever mask you like.

As someone said in the comments, Rasmus just makes the pixels float a bit so you don't need him but uh, damn, that sure was a purple pixel against a purple rug huh.

Before you get excited about Earl I think he might actually be bugged and not work? It certainly used to be the case, and When I took him for a spin recently I didn't feel any more hardy.

just has weird nuance as to what shots you can soak and what are instantly-fatal regardless.

There's another, later mask that can soak one shot that woould be fatal to Earl, but dies to two shots that won't kill Earl. This is a conveyance issue.

i mean, from everything i've heard, hatred isn't JUST bad because it's made dudes who were racist even for the racist part of the internet they inhabit, it was also just a really bad game.

I feel like raocow is best advised to stay away.

Dang. After episode 3 I was hoping raocow would continue his streak of "find a reason to replay the entire game up to this point from the start" every single episode.

I figured it might be something like that, but my thinking was "Okay, does each pellet of the shotgun count as one shot?" And also "Is the machine gun so fast that soaking two shots doesn't help that much?"

Youtube recommended me this custom level, so I figured I had to share here. An old meme, but still one I enjoy. :slow:

So yeah, I played this recently. I may as well throw some important deets out there:
  • Given you understand what the purple/pink pixel is, you don't need Rasmus at this point. Rasmus doesn't reveal the pixel, it merely makes it more visually obvious. Once you know what to look for, it you can just spot it easily without Rasmus. His only other use is better showing off where hidden masks like Earl's is, and unless you're also going for that (which I don't suppose you are? Especially because there's one mask that's rather stupid to get that I think you already missed?), it's kind of a waste.
  • The purple/pink pixels save after you leave a floor/stage upon clearing it. I would recommend simply making a mental note of where it is, clearing the floor, then getting the pixel. Or be like me and just clear the floor then find the pixel. It's less of a hassle.
  • If you see a gangster crawl around after you take him out, you can "finish" him with a final attack by pressing A. It's not that much a big deal, it simply adds to your final score and your grade for the chapter. Worth noting that doing this drops whatever weapon you have, so just be careful when you do it.
A worthy thing to note: The two tracks I think you like a lot, raocow—the song at the title screen, and the song you hear at the start of each chapter—those are by the same artist, Sun Araw (and the first you see in the music credits when you quit the game...you should show that off at some point). I'm quite familiar with the guy, he's a big collaber with a lot of artists I used to associate with in the more fringey synth and psych scenes back last decade. Nice dude, good music. He hasn't been active since the pandemic began (then again, a lot of those scenes collapsed due to COVID), hopefully he's all right.

If you want to listen to the albums those two tracks came from, here you go:

I guess I just don't know how long hotline bling is.

Not much to add to the video, just that yeah, this level went by pretty smoothly.

The drill is sadly underwhelming. It only knocks people down, and then the execution is really long and leaves you wide open.

Well, time for tomorrow's level to suck (for some people, I thought it was fine on my end once I figured out the real gimmick)

Okay, you and I both took the same (original) route. I never saw the keycard, and I never went back to the level (because by then I learned about the purple pixel and had gotten it).

One thing that I like to think was a gimmick to the level: The more your screen wobbles as you walk, the less visible to doctors/cops you become. It may not have been, but I'd like to think that this was the case, since much of the game post Chapter 7 has you

suffering hallucinations caused by the stress of being blackmailed into performing these massacres

, and the fact that the chapter "ends" with you changing "the channel" by changing your clothes.
