So my internet is out, for a few days(we apparently actually broke ATT's database). On the upside, the time I'm not spending dicking about online I can spend produotively!
...
Or I can watch animes I downloaded and never got around to instead.


Today: "Gamers!".

I expected a bunch of jokes about retro PS2 games. Instead I get a romantic comedy where everyone canonically has no idea how relationships work. Seriously, an entire episode was dedicated to all the characters trying to sort out the potential ramifications of a multidimensional love polygon that only exists in their mind. It was funnier than it had a right to be.

They can't do that. They need lots of temporary little privacy boosts so they can continue to generate announcements about new privacy features.

I'm playing Blaster Master Zero Two, which is up there on the "comically bad names" list.

I am enjoying it a good deal. It is more challenging than Blaster Master Zero(which was a walk in the park for the most part), and some of the mechanical changes they made seem like a direct response to complaints I had with the previous game(most notably, the new behavior on the weapon energy meter does a lot to keep most every tank scene from being "just spam homing missiles until everything is dead").

The map is no longer one contiguous world to shoot through. In theory, this is annoying as it turns the entire game into a collection of bite-size minigames. In practice, it isn't really that different. Just means that when backtracking from Area D to Area A, you don't have to actually fight through every single enemy in between. The world isn't actually SMALLER, and each area seems to be roughly the same size as a Zero One area, if not a bit bigger. It is still basically "Metroid with a tank".
...
The instant-death forcefields in Area F are NOT FUNNY, though.

Nine of ten stars.



The plot is more personal, which is an interesting choice.
In Blaster Master Zero One, your dude found an alien jumptank and uses it to kill the evil mutants and save the Earth(and also save his alien robot girlfriend(long story)). Good ol' video game heroism through unmitigated violence, nothin' new here.
In Blaster Master Zero Two, your dude built a new jumptank that can fly through space so he can take his space robot girlfriend home to get treatment for her space cancer. No, seriously, that's the plot. Space girlfriend is gravely ill and needs to go home for medical treatment before she dies. If your dude just HAPPENS to wind up saving a bunch of other planets from mutants through excessive force along the way, well, that's a nice bonus, but it isn't really the goal.





And as an important side note, Inti Creates put an appropriate amount of thought into the differences between the Famicom game Metafight and the Nintendo game Blaster Master before they set out on making a remake. Blaster Master Zero is canonically a remake of Blaster Master, but a sequel to Metafight. And I love this detail.

I've always used the lock aim button when I needed a diagonal. I assume the difficulty is going to depend greatly on controller.

Ah yeah that's a feature where old threads get a warning on the newreply page about bumping it, and really old ones get autolocked. It's set to six and twelve months respectively. Let me just change that to six and 999 and unlock it for ya.
But what if I REALLY NEED to bump an 84-year-old thread?

Regarding Christmas in Australia, I always thought it would be weird having it in the middle of summer, but after all the leaves remaining on the trees last year and the record highs this year I am no longer left wondering. I hate it. :-)


It's kind of surreal to be singing carols about sleighs and TV movies about snowmen, while sipping a refrigerated beverage in a tank-top with the air-conditioner on full-blast to escape from the sweltering heat outside.

But since I grew up in Australia, it's been that way all my life and it seems perfectly normal.

The perpetual grey-orange smoke haze is new, though, and I don't like that at all.

Climate change sucks.


Oh my, yes.
It isn't sweltering here, but it is up in the 70s, which is pretty hot for dead of winter, even by Texas standards.

'S supposed to be about 40 degrees and raining!

So this guy captured himself playing Synth Rider. Which is a synthwave pseudo-80s-styled VR music game.
...
And he decided to go all-out and dress the part of an 80s rocker, and do some 80s-style music video editing of himself lip-syncing along and playing air guitar.

I can't decide if it is genius or insanity, but I respect the effort made. The video is presented as a work of art.
