02:57:31 Devastator: got updates to write today.
02:57:44 Devastator: and wrote a bunch of self-indulgent RP in solar.
03:11:23 Devastator: card game up. I'll do Ascent in a bit.
03:57:12 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:00:13 MidJag: What've you been up to
dev?
04:01:25 Devastator: did download a couple more SNES games.
04:01:47 Devastator: everything's working in the shop.
04:01:56 Devastator: so I pretty much have afternoons off.
04:02:22 Devastator: and added some self-indulgent RP to
NJW's solar game.
04:02:26 ER: ok but what if priscilla were gf
04:03:08 Devastator: size differential might be hard. ;-p
04:04:37 ER: yeah turns out she's really big
04:09:39 MidJag_ has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:11:37 Devastator: going to try for a stream,
MJ?
04:11:41 MidJag_: I'll try it once, if it doesn't work then eh.
04:12:12 MidJag_: I was thinking slay the spire, since for whatever reason my stream seems to hate that game least
04:12:22 Devastator: mmm, need a fresh link.
04:12:28 Devastator: low video framerate?
04:13:00 MidJag has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
04:13:49 Devastator: still middayjunglecat?
04:14:15 MidJag_: Getting everything set up
04:14:40 MidJag_: Oh wait, OBS needs to update
04:17:08 MidJag_: okay it should be going
04:19:09 Devastator: framerate's pretty bad, but it works.
04:19:18 MidJag_: Yeah, not sure why that is.
04:19:27 Devastator: I've seen it, but don't really understand it.
04:27:06 Devastator: fuck fighting with 4 HP.
04:34:31 ER has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
04:36:00 Devastator: always bet on the meme.
04:47:44 Devastator: these bird cultists seem hardcore.
04:48:10 Devastator: FEAR OUR POINTY STICKS
04:52:11 Devastator: those "boys" seem less than impressive.
04:53:32 Devastator: outside of the 420 HP.
04:55:40 Devastator: it did 18% of his HP!
05:04:36 Devastator: looks like the endboss from EVO.
05:04:59 Devastator: Yeah? You've actually played that?
05:05:32 Devastator: maybe not that much damage, but you seem ok.
05:08:09 Devastator: now this guy's a tanky boy.
05:17:56 Devastator: is this some kinda doom rock?
05:22:56 Devastator: no ultra bonus boss?
05:23:17 Devastator: oh, I thought the ultra bonus boss was the boss behind this one.
05:23:28 Devastator: so the secret boss is slotted in before the final boss?
05:24:07 Devastator: and I was jokingly asking if there was a -second- secret boss.
05:26:57 Devastator: mmm, Bird cultists Plus boss.
05:27:38 Devastator: also it has a chest ankh.
05:28:15 Devastator: ahh, I see it now, that's a hilt.
05:31:56 Devastator: that's a good generic boss name.
05:33:49 Devastator: although mind you your claws don't reset.
05:34:16 Devastator: well, I think you need to heal up.
05:34:47 Devastator: sooo close to one-shotting the boss.
05:35:10 Devastator: just needed 17 more HP saved.
05:35:16 Devastator: anyway, mind if I go next?
05:35:46 Devastator: could play the SNES racing game with better music than the last one, or one of the worst games ever made.
05:35:57 MidJag_: I'll watch the worst games ever made one
05:36:16 MidJag_: Though I can't stay up too late.
05:37:52 MidJag_:
Dev could you turn the volume down on the music? I can barelly hear you
05:38:58 MidJag_: Much better, with occasionally going into ear rape territoes
05:39:26 Devastator: just ditching the mike.
05:39:40 Devastator: but basically, you jump on a paper and pick which hellscape minigame you want to play.
05:40:04 Devastator: this is the only decent one.
05:40:37 MidJag_: I see, it doesn't look too terrible. Just flying aorund in a ripoff of ever side scrolling space shooter ever
05:41:10 Devastator: although the slow movement, varying depending on which way you're moving, and the physics-controlled bullets are both remarkably bad choices.
05:41:52 MidJag_: Also weird enemy choices based off my limited knowledge of the simpsons.
05:42:33 MidJag_: God this looks terrible
05:43:24 MidJag_: That's so weird, your most protected slight forward and down because that's where your bullets drop
05:43:59 MidJag_: Also just kinda lame music
05:44:08 Devastator: you chose the bad music one.
05:44:14 Devastator: and yes, I have to spam press to shoot.
05:44:32 MidJag_: I figured that just came with the territory of terrible game
05:45:34 MidJag_: Heh, like 3 fights in and they're already reusing bosses
05:45:44 Devastator: there's only one more boss.
05:45:54 Devastator: and it does save progress.. if you re-enter the level you do so after the last boss.
05:45:58 Devastator: the last boss is insane.
05:46:36 MidJag_: God those bullet physics are weird
05:47:18 MidJag_: How the hell do you even hit him?
05:49:05 Devastator: that was about as well as I've ever done it.
05:49:17 Devastator: ..that was also one of only two pages I can get with any reliability.
05:49:37 MidJag_: I mean if you said this was the only semi decent one that makes sense
05:50:09 Devastator: here's the other one I can get.
05:50:16 Devastator: it's.. because the minigame is trivial.
05:51:26 MidJag_: What the hell is this minigame
05:51:44 MidJag_: Your like dig dug killing people
05:52:21 MidJag_: Huh, is there even a way to lose that minigame?
05:54:12 MidJag_: Can you die in the overworld?
05:54:22 Devastator: game over is if you die in the overworld.
05:54:27 Devastator: you lose a minigame, you take.. one hit.
05:54:57 MidJag_: So what are you trying to do?
05:55:06 MidJag_: In this particular section
05:55:16 Devastator: walk around until you find pages.
05:55:26 MidJag_: God that's a bad mechanic
05:55:37 MidJag_: So they just generate?
05:55:50 MidJag_: There's not like things you can do to spawn them?
05:56:12 Devastator: sometimes a mailbox will tell you which way you need to walk to find one.
05:57:05 Devastator: two pages, not enough points for another bonus point.
05:57:13 Devastator: hang on, I wanna show you a really bad minigame, so lemme restart.
05:58:14 MidJag_: This looks difficult to describe levelsn of terrible
05:58:21 MidJag_: Did they even finish this gaem?
05:58:27 Devastator: No, I don't think so.
05:58:35 MidJag_: That would explain some
05:58:37 Devastator: the controls for this one are animation based, like that prequel run game.
05:58:49 Devastator: down shoots things flying forward below you.. after a delay.
05:58:58 Devastator: b shoots tanks in front of you, after a delay.
05:59:08 Devastator: forward shoots planes coming from the front of the screen.. after a delay.
05:59:15 Devastator: up and down shoot buildings for bonus points.
05:59:23 Devastator: and a shoots oncoming trains.. also for bonus points.
05:59:32 Devastator: you walk automatically, but can stop by holding left.
05:59:41 Devastator: there's no healthbar and no explanation of the controls.
05:59:44 MidJag_: How do you win or lose?
05:59:55 Devastator: you eventually take enough damage to get kicked out of the minigame.
06:00:09 Devastator: you can theoretically win by walking far enough, they zap you with a shrink ray, you get a page, and move onto stage 2.
06:00:22 Devastator: last week I save-loaded my way to brute force this minigame, and it's beyond insane.
06:01:48 Devastator has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
06:02:08 Devastator has joined #einsteinianroulette
06:02:19 Devastator: you climb a building and fight ape-homer at the top.
06:02:21 Devastator: it's not trivial, but it's both better than the first half, and not difficult.
06:03:04 Devastator: orange is Indiana Bart.
06:03:10 Devastator: you jump by pressing left, right, up and down.
06:03:21 Devastator: you whack your whip at things by pressing the buttons.
06:03:42 Devastator: it's a sort-of puzzle, but they kill you at barriers with no indication of the safe way past.
06:03:49 MidJag_: Who made this game? And were they actually human?
06:04:59 Devastator: one of those four spaces in front of the maggie statue is safe.
06:05:02 Devastator: the game doesn't tell you.
06:05:09 Devastator: you have to retry until you find it.
06:05:14 Devastator: there's like five of them.
06:05:31 MidJag_: This game truelly does seem terrible
06:05:49 MidJag_: Oh yeah
Dev have you ever watched terrible old games you've probably never heard of?
06:06:10 Devastator: because I've probably heard of them.
06:06:14 Devastator: this one could be on that show.
06:06:19 Devastator: oh, yellow's the last minigame.
06:06:30 Devastator: after those other two, yellow is theoretically beatable.
06:06:32 MidJag_: And yes it probably is
06:10:12 Devastator: I have actually beaten that one.
06:10:24 MidJag_: Good god, that game is truelly terrible
06:10:28 Devastator: Oddly, there's an actual itchy and scratchy video game for the SNES.
06:10:34 Devastator: I owned it.. it's very much playable.
06:10:49 Devastator: I should dl it, it's obscure.
06:10:52 MidJag_: I guess rushed license games are pretty mcuh eternal
06:10:55 Devastator: anyway, five minutes of the racing game, okay?
06:11:00 Devastator: no, it's something about the simpsons.
06:11:07 MidJag_: Sure, but after that I'm going to bed
06:11:10 Devastator: all simpsons licenced games, other than Hit the Road, ar terrible.
06:11:24 MidJag_: I see, I've never played any, so I can't say
06:11:33 Devastator: they're like remarkably bad.
06:11:39 Devastator: and there's like a dozen.
06:11:53 Devastator: Interplay / Blizzard Entertainment.
06:11:59 MidJag_: Hmm, maybe the license was really expesnive so they never have any money for the game and assume it will sell itself?
06:12:46 MidJag_: Seems odd to be sure, very popular recongizable franchise, you'd think it would be easy to make a non shit game.
06:13:10 MidJag_: Wow, there is no way this game had the licesne for any of these songs~
06:13:47 Devastator: Interplay // Blizzard Entertainment, when both were good and blizzard was just taking off.
06:14:32 MidJag_: That's impressive that wouldn't have been a cheap license.
06:14:47 Devastator: more impressive part.. recreating them on a SNES
06:15:33 MidJag_: They're actually really recongizable, it's really well done
06:16:51 Devastator: the gamplay is also quite, quite good.
06:17:31 MidJag_: And
dev when you said it had better music you should have lead with they put Black Sabbath in an SNES game~
06:18:35 Devastator: I think there's a couple more tracks.
06:18:50 MidJag_: Seems so, not a bad selection given it's an SNES
06:20:47 MidJag_: Oh yeah, I was reading an interview with Terry Prachetts daughter, she's apperntly like a video game writer. Was an interesting read.
06:22:45 Devastator: what was that show you recommended?
06:23:01 MidJag_: Terrible old games you've probably never heard of
06:23:15 MidJag_: It's a youtube thing, run by a guy named ashens, very entertainig
06:24:36 MidJag_: I honestlly feel like if your dad was prachett and you went into writing it would be like if einstein was your dad and you went into a patent office, there are going to be some weird expectations~
06:24:50 Devastator: but yeah, I see where you're coming from.
06:26:54 MidJag_: I'll have to find the article, it was intresting
06:28:46 Devastator: okay, I think I might watch that show a bit more, unless you want to see more of this.
06:30:37 MidJag_: Nah, I think I'm going to bed
06:31:00 Devastator: just two quick words.
06:31:07 Devastator: if you do play this, don't put it on the hardest difficulty.
06:31:18 Devastator: and Tarquin's the best racer who isn't the cheat racer, Olaf.
06:31:33 Devastator: and if you buy upgrades, some of the enemies will have that one too.
06:31:42 Devastator: it's a net improvement because they wont' all have it, but some will.
06:31:54 Devastator: so better to buy the car and things like weapon shots.
06:32:11 Devastator: I should check out that itchy and scratchy one.
06:32:19 Devastator: it was very obscure, I think I had the only copy I've ever seen.
06:33:43 MidJag_: Welp, I'm going to bed. But lemme know if you find that itchy scatthy thing, I look forward to all the new excitiign ways it's terrible~
06:34:26 Devastator: apparently it was generally considered shit.
06:34:41 Devastator: I liked it, but I'm weird.
06:36:21 MidJag_: Well lemme know if you stream it sometime, sounds like fun to watch
06:36:23 Devastator: also bart's nightmare got high scores.
06:36:45 MidJag_: I want to know what the reviews were on, because it sounds like some good shit
06:36:45 Devastator: It's not that interesting.. IIRC, most of the fun came from map exploration, so you could find the good weapons.
06:36:57 Devastator: yeah, I mean.. even back then it was obviously terrible.
06:37:26 Devastator: and you know my love of exploration games.
06:37:36 Devastator: well, exploration platformers.
06:37:46 Devastator: although, oddly, I don't like the meteroids.
06:37:55 Devastator: probably because they're based on movement options.
06:38:28 MidJag_: I really enjoy some kinds of exploration games, but I get really annoyed with games where you have to do things like hit every single wall to look for hidden walls.
06:38:44 MidJag_: I do enough fruitless searching in real life I don't neeed it in a game~
06:39:25 Devastator: nah, it's more like 'you have to work your way through a series of challenges to find the big weapon that knocks off a third of scratchy's health, while he's chasing after you and stage hazards are shooting at you.
06:39:38 Devastator: otherwise you can basically whittle him down, but it'll take forever to do it that way.
06:39:54 Devastator: so you have to look about for good weapons, and then make them count.
06:39:57 MidJag_: Neat, so breath of the wild~
06:40:17 Devastator: but not everyone liked that then, and the game really did take forever if you tried to win with the default mallet.
06:40:24 Devastator: it was like 25 charged hits to kill with that.
06:41:06 Devastator: oh, so it's one one hour show?
06:41:12 Devastator: I though it was like a regular feature.
06:41:51 MidJag_: Nah there's a couple of them.
06:41:59 MidJag_: The book is a collection of several.
06:42:10 MidJag_: and the one hour feature is I belive highlights?
06:42:16 MidJag_: It's been a while so I can't really rember
06:42:58 Devastator: I'm gonna go DL it to see if it really was shit and I'm being nostalgic, but I played that quite some time before beating it.
06:44:51 Devastator: ooh, yeah, he's going way back.
06:46:00 Devastator: ahh, the pre-youtube internet.
06:48:03 Devastator: some things are just happiness.
06:48:42 Devastator: These were the people just a couple years older than I.
06:54:26 MidJag_: Alright, I gotta go to bed. But watch that hareraiser video, the last one I sent you, also about and obsruce terrible video game
06:54:33 MidJag_: And just really intresting story
07:04:36 Devastator: also gave that like a five minute play. It's fairly simple, but not really tedious.
07:04:45 Devastator: I know the later levels get significantly more complicated.
07:41:24 Devastator: there was a third alien wrestling budget game that I remember for the genesis.
