#FLIPS A PS1

[2022dirt]

A truck full of broken PlayStation consoles for spare parts.

Giving Final Fantasy IX another go. I first tried it when I was sixteen, and I got up to disc 2 but probably not much further than that. I didn't really appreciate the world map enough (never even got Quina!) and the sluggish, slow combat kind of drove me nuts. However, I really liked the characters and the world that had been set up for me. I've restarted the game in hopes of getting further this time and so far I'm paying much more attention!

Sorry for bothering you but where did you get/find the songs used for Dayshift at Freddy’s? I know Henry’s theme is waltz in a minor but where did the other ones come from? Mostly “darxie land”, the hotel themes, and the flip side themesThey’re great and you definitely have good taste in background music if dsaf and dialtown mean anything

the music box covers are just edited midis of various songs to have their instruments replaced with music boxes and often stripped down slightly (aka, some instrument tracks removed). Some of these covers were made by me and some by friends. That's why 3 has 2 variants of hotel california.

The stock music is all Kevin MacLeod from Incompetech.

Dave's theme(s) were largely ripped from a Ps1 Rugrats game.

Steven's battle theme in 3 was made by taking Schubert's Serenade, replacing the main instrument with a ringing telephone noise and passing it through Wub Machine. Was basically just a spur of the moment idea that sounded too good not to use.

Some tracks (like the Flipside theme) were completely original and made by some of the people who worked on the production, mostly notably the Flipside theme by GlitchedPie (who did the flipside battle animations and a lot of the sprite overworld animation work in Undertale Yellow!) and Blackjack's theme, which was done by Roger's voice actor!

Game: Project Night (PC)

Seeing a Unity game in a CoG video is like being suddenly woken up from a long dream. Lost in a seemingly endless maze of PS1 era shovelware and bizarre passion projects, we breach the surface, gasping for air, only to find ourselves surrounded by mountains, spires of asset-flip games. Far too many to ever be counted. Cathedrals are everywhere for those with the eyes to see them and all that.

As a big backrooms fan who is sometimes a little disappointed with how it was handled, I want to share with you all the surreal stuff that backrooms fans need to see, what I'm giving you is not about backrooms, but it has a backrooms vibe and I'm sure you'll like it, with links

Yume Nikki (and it's fangames) - MUST for backrooms fans, if you want surreal experience with unusual worlds, those games will definitely deliver

LSD Dream Emulator (and emulator for it) - Another game with wonderful surreal worlds, this time on ps1!

ENA - This web-series would be awesome to check out if you want to see unusual characters in very cool looking places (also, Ena is absolute sweetie-pie!) Oh, and there also gonna be Ena game in future

Infinity Train - It's like a Backrooms... On a train, seriously though, Backrooms and Infinity Train are really heckin simular conceptually and plus, Infinity Train is absolutely great cartoon that more people need to check out

Flip Flappers - More symbolism, more surrealism, this anime is great and really underappreciated and each episode it's own weird world and this anime in general is great experience that I really advise to check out!

Sonny Boy - This one I didn't fully watched myself yet, but based on recommendations and on moments I did saw, it definitely looks and feels really Backrooms-like

Subway Midnight - Another surreal game... On a train, but seriously though, this game is good and can even scare you couple of times

Myst (and it's sequels) - old but famous games with really complicated puzzles, but with locations that really capture feelings of wonder and confusion

House of Leaves - This book WILL confuse you but, it also does a great job at giving you really interesting and good read

And this what I have for today, if you know more stuff I can add to this list, please share

Skater! Percy Jackson Headcanons

-Back when Rachel and Percy first started hanging out Rachel had just got a PS1, and let Percy play it. When Percy kicked her ass in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 it’s lead to a long standing feud. It remains unresolved to this day and spans across games like Skate 1-3 and the other Tony Hawk games.

-For a brief period in time Percy had the world record in Hall of Meat on Skate 3

-Annabeth had to instigate very strict equipment location protocols while designing Olympus. This is due to one time she saw Percy drop in from a crane, hit a 1080, land on Hermes’ roof, kick off into a Christ pose, grind on the bow of the Apollo statue, then stick the landing. Apollo and Hermes where entertained, Annabeth was not.

-When Piper first met him she tried to call him out as a poser, she stopped when she got crushed in a game of S-K-A-T-E

-Percy’s music and fashion tastes reflect his skater style, it’s one of the few things him and Thalia agree on. They will frequently go to shows or malls together

-Percy has a chronic lack of flannels, he owns like 15, Annabeth stole them all.

-Percy has tried to get Grover on a board, the incident has agreed to never be spoken of again

-Clarrise was PISSED one time when Percy wouldn’t fight her and just skated around her during a fight. Similarly related, skateboards have been banned from capture the flag since the time Percy cruised up to the l flag, broke one of the defender’s nose with his board, then skated away.

-Percy has, on multiple occasions kickflipped on top of a place he just killed a monster, to truly disrespect them. Or in the case of Chrysador, find where he was originally buried, then kick flip on his grave.

-Terminus has banned skateboards from New Rome after watching Percy shred on top of a Jupiter statue

-Sally has multiple times let Percy grab onto the rear bumper on her car while he’s on his board, It’s part of the reason she has the title coolest mom.

-Paul will occasionally kickflip or hit an Ollie in front of his class if they’re bored, Percy taught him how to do it.

-Percy has attended Halloween Hellbomb every year since it started, He’s gone as Hades, Poseidon, Aquaman , and one time on a dare Athena.

it is time to be old on the internet: TFP Ratchet's hatred of 2010 era human tech is hilarious

every time Ratchet complains about shitty human technology in TFP, it's so funny to me, that shit is so good

because, I mean, I grew up with the first computer in my house being a fucking Tandy 1000, which to be fair wasn't exactly the hottest model even then, but still LMAO

the first modem I ever messed with as a kid was the wood box phone receiver type, the acoustic coupler ones, which was my dad's, and he only had it because his job at a local university meant he could borrow one from their tech lab (so we didn't technically own it)

if I remember correctly, the one we had ran at 300 baud, which was fucking amazing for such a set up at the time. slightly later AOL dial up looked like lightning speed compared to that shit.

my first chat rooms were BBS/Usenet (whenever I could connect) and IRC chats. now everyone has Discord and I still don't understand how that shit works lmao but that's more of a me problem and less of an age problem, I think

we got dial up (in the "modern" sense of it being AOL dial up service with the infamous hell noises) in my household in 1994, back when it was pretty much a brand new thing (at least for AOL), and I remember the Eternal September Usenet rush, lmao

imagine if TFP took place in the 80s/90s, oh my god

(I'm assuming TFP takes place in roughly 2010 because that's when the show premiered, and Miko has some kind of Razr-inspired flip phone, so if we assume it's supposed to be based on the first model of Razr, then at the earliest that places the show in 2004)

Ratchet would have gone completely insane with old school internet capable consumer level human tech

Ratchet: "How do I look at photos on this monitor?"

80s Raf: "what"

Ratchet: "what"

oh god now I want an 80s/90s TFP AU so fucking bad. imagine 80s Raf. it's so good

oh god, IMAGINE 90s RAF. just getting traumatised by terrifying shitty mid-90s FMV horror games. this poor boy. but imagine his hype when the PS1 would come out in the USA in 1995. the hype would be so fucking real. lmao

also for those of you who are Younger and Blessed With Good Internet From An Early Age, if you want a good idea of old school internet shit, go ahead and watch WarGames (1983) and look up 2600 Magazine and Mondo 2000 if you don't already know about those.

(personally I consider WarGames and Hackers (1995) to be the two best simultaneously dumbest and best movie depictions of computer bullshit in their respective eras, although Hackers was more of a thing that informed cyber culture after it released rather than reflecting actual hacker culture as it was at that exact time but anyway, please watch them if you have not seen them already, you will love this shit lmao)

I assume almost all of you already know about this stuff, but just in case, I want to mention it. those two movies are really good. lol

anyway, Ratchet dealing with early internet. early shitty human tech. or at least the 90s shit. imagine Ratchet having to listen to the fucking dial up screeching. the kids having to look through geocities webrings to see if any images of the bots had been leaked on any conspiracy websites. just 10/10 lmaooo

"I hate talking to machines" Ratchet, buddy, you have NO IDEA how bad it could have been!!!

anyway I'm old, I guess that's the point of this post LOL

[lildoodlecat]

just realized leon is actually left-handed. how did i miss that

like i thought maybe he was actually right-handed in ps1 since he and stahn are both sword + shield there and stahn IS right-handed but i looked!!! and it's imposible to tell bc he doesn't have a proper left-facing sprite he just flips (unlike stahn who is clearly always wielding dymlos with his right and a shield in his left)

but considering leon has an off-hand dagger from dc onward i'm willing to believe he's just ambidextrous la;ksdjf;ls expecially since official art also can't quite decide. tho he IS holding chal in his left in his original art and in most other official art save a few (tales of vs, rays, and crestoria have him right-hand wielding)

so. left-handed.

however. this implies that he's fucking SILLY like sorey and belts his sword on the same side as his wielding hand???? at least sorey has a straight grip that can be easily flipped

OKAY PAUSE THE FUCKING POST i double checked his destiny dc sprite and he's definitely right-hand wielding Chal

which is it!!? and while we're at it why is chaltier's guard inconsistent also. shouldn't it be on the bottom??? wouldn't it get in the way on top????? it's literally a knuckle guard why isn't it over his knuckles in so many arts ;0;

i love you you look so cool but WHY is your sword like that. i knowww chal's a fantasy sword but he's literally just a mishmash of sabres. but you lose so much range of movement if the guard is bumping your wrist and especially the base of your thumb,,,

also like i was saying with belting it on the wielding side, how are you drawing and flipping your sword with a full knuckle guard? or are you swinging your whole sheath forward and drawing it behind you?? leon. my guy. what are you doing alskdjf;l

anyway im sure it's just like. artist error type stuff. rule of cool. they keep drawing his sword like that and now it's just how it is. sigh

[intertexts]

i do not need the miyoo flip. i have my 3ds which i can place a multitude of games onto. i have my gba. i have my steam deck. i do not need another little console even if it's cute and square and comes with ps1 and psp emulators built in too.

When you're having a bad day, counter it with B movies

WitchTrap (1989) is a film directed by Kevin S Tenney. Tenney directed a variety of shlocky horror movies in the 80s, though he's probably best known for Night of the Demons, or my personal favorite, Witchboard. A lot of them have very similar themes of the occult gone wrong. Seances, ouija boards, wizards, all that jazz.

WitchTrap focuses around a team of paranormal investigators being sent into an old Victorian (their words, not mine, it's clearly just a random mansion and some sets) manor by a businessman who inherited it from his uncle. He wants to turn it into a bed and breakfast but guests keep getting spooked out, and the final straw is a famous magician killing himself while staying there (we see a painting moan at him and he does a frontflip out a window and seemingly falls to his death. Or, more accurately, he lies there and someone pours blood from offscreen downhill at him). Going with them to prevent any further window-flippings are a group of skeptical, very ugly detectives that are there to protect the investigators.

As it turns out, Avery Lauder (the dead uncle and the moaning painting from earlier was an evil warlock who died in the middle of a satanic ritual. The researchers challenge him to "display his power" and he predictably takes the opportunity to go on a violent rampage to achieve reincarnation.

At its heart, this is a classic "people get stuck somewhere and die one by one" slasher, which is a subset of horror that lives or dies based on either how fun the splattering is, or how funny everything else is. The former category is... Not very strong here. Most of said splats are offscreen entirely, in fact, outside of one hilarious head explosion. They go for a Bay of Blood style chopped forehead but even it doesn't look fantastic and mostly occurs offscreen.

The story is nonsense and the characters are total buffoons. Usually in an amusing way, admittedly, aided by the fact that all of the audio in this movie is ADR (I think it was destroyed and rerecorded, a very Mystery Science Theater situation). The voice performances are stilted, floaty and confused to the point that they sound ripped out of a bad PS1 game. It very unintentionally gives the movie some personality and it's kind of fun. The sole exception to this is the main character, who is trying...Something? He feels like a very amateurish but fun attempt at trying to play Ash from Army of Darkness.

Most of this is a band-aid though for a slow and gore-light slasher, up until the end. The last 30 minutes or so begin to have some unique, weird practical effects and the plot starts to become a bit more exciting and unpredictable. The defeat of Avery as he bursts into fire and violently melts, especially, is really sweet.

I can't quite reccommend WitchTrap wholehearted,and it's definitely the lesser of Tenney's 80s stuff, but it's just fun enough to meet the qualifier of "funny bad movie". It's trying very hard at what it wants to do, and even if it doesn't quite succeed, I could see it being a fun time with some friends and a few beers.

The Omori timeline makes no sense

Hello, this is a way too serious post about going insane over the fictional timeline about the funny depression game.

Spoilers for some of the main route and all of the alt route.

The Basics

So when does this game take place? Faraway is a small American town with a population of whatever. People's favorite pastimes include listening to boomboxes, watching TV on huge CRTs, or playing baby games on huge old monitors for bulky PC towers.

I mean look at these locations!

Cassette players? Things that could be graciously described as NES and SNES systems (PS1 if you really push those pixels)? Earlyish anime posters that look straight out of the 90's? Wow! This is definitely certainly totally for SURE the 90's right?

The Not So Basics

Sure there's a lot of old stuff lying around, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the place is old. Maybe Faraway was hit by 2008 really hard and never recovered. So, what contradicts the 90's appearances? Sunny (or Omori) himself.

Of course dial up is still used in America, especially in rural areas or places that people (read, corporations) don't typically care about. However it has been apparently phased out in Faraway, this process started in the late 1990's early 2000's and dropped to roughly 10% in 2008. So, how important is Faraway? Well I don't know the economic status of a fake American town, but graciously we can conservatively say the earlier half of the 2000's.

Likewise cassettes were phased out in the early 90's if you're being extremely generous. Why does Kel have one? He's a hipster or something.

Jawsum hates Pluto and considers him a former planet even though that astronomers hate him and only did that in 2006. That's probably why he retired to do mini golf and various ball sports.

But Mari loved the Mets right? She has been in multiple arts doing the ball. And well you certainly get a baseball hat in the game.

Where do you find this hat? Oh simply in the Abyss where Abbi and other unpleasant memories exist. Mostly of a dead woman... well if Sunny believes that of course. But no the baseball hat is specifically dated for 199X. How will this discrepancy be fixed? Well it could be an old hat (boring answer), or if Mari was born in 1987 (yes that year matters) then she'd have the hat just in time to die for 2003. Oh, why is 2003 significant specifically?

It can all be explained when you look past the child's play and instead see the heavy hitters.

Why are these literal soft boiled enemies so important? Because copypasta was (unfortunately) coined by 4Chan in 2006 and creepypasta (tragically) by the same... people in 2007. Let's hope that Sunny didn't frequent that cesspit and say that he saw a creepypasta on the internet, perhaps with an online video sharing platform that was invented by 2005. Now Mari can die in peace knowing that the timeline makes sense if she dies in 2003. But with his box computer that would be hard as the unsaid video player would be intensive for such an old tower.

Except that Sunny knows roughly what a laptop is, especially a thin one that isn't at least 6 inches tall to cool itself. Granted, it's not in the real world so maybe Sunny just... looked at images of laptops longingly or something. However the existence of the slim jim is very strange, because why the hell is everyone still using CRTs? The first somewhat commercially available plasma TV was made in 1995. It's at least 2007, why does everyone have a CRT?

Was this game made by a person who put a window that clearly looks outside in opposition with the next room over, which is just a hallway? Is Polly's dialog just wrong? Do Aubrey and her gang drive their scooters through a forested area behind construction and warning signs? Does Omori do a flip on his whole character? Certainly not, I mean there's consistency with the characters and the items they can realistically get.

The Why Do You Have This

Sunny was bad, but a silver bullet in this weird timeline. And he's literally the person we view this world through. So who could be worse at knowing when this game takes place?

These two

These two lore breaking consistency smashing stability crashers ruin everything!

So how do they do it, first it's their characters with the fanbase and now they ruin time itself, how do they do it. Simple really, what's Basil's camera?

I mean it's a Polaroid right?

It's clearly a Polaroid, so no problems here. Mari, according to the wiki because I do not hold every single piece of dialog in my head, bought this and the photo album for Basil. Aw, how sweet of her.

What model of Polaroid

Simple, whatever came in the 90's right? Makes sense given how everything else comes straight out in the 90's. That's where you'd be wrong and my dissent into madness began. Because this model of camera wasn't made in the 90's, it wasn't the 80's, nope this camera was first produced in the 70's with this specific model being discontinued in the 80's. We are talking, of course, about the Polaroid SX-70 one step 1000 white rainbow edition. Not to be confused with all the SX-70 models that could fold, because Basil's camera clearly doesn't have a crease to fold on.

This bad boy is considered proper vintage circa a decade ago. So, how did Mari buy this for Basil? There wouldn't be any stores in the entire world providing this beast. Well, there was a certain invention made in 1995 which ruined everything like WoW auction house. Why we're talking about EBay of course, Mari could just jump on the old block PC and find the most expensive camera she wants. And I mean hey, her family can afford a grand piano... and a violin by doing "round the block money raising activities." So maybe she broke the bank for this.

So everything is solved right? Everything just magically falls into place because Mari bought a camera from the 70's that thankfully works and doesn't have any scratches or breaks or anything really on the chassis because wow that would be hard.

Well... how about that film?

I mean it's common knowledge that Polaroid died as it lived, standing and fighting inevitable change. And fight they did because film stopped being produced in 2008. Which falls right into the timeline right? Well yes, but there's another problem, supply chain distribution. Because no, you couldn't just walk into any store and buy the film. You probably could if you lived in a major city with an incredibly niche photography store. But for literally everyone else? No no no, you can only buy online and only at specific times where their 3 production plants could spit out the damn stuff.

So, when Basil clearly stated in the photo album that everyone (read, Mari and maybe Hero) chipped in to buy film, it was on a supply chain disaster. I called Kel a hipster before but no, it was Mari the whole time.

The TL;DR

This game was made by someone for sure. And Basil's camera ruins any form of consistency with the story. Because really, who has a personal computer in the 70's? Who has a SNES in the 80's? Who considers Pluto a former planet in the 90's? And who can afford instant film in the 2000's?

The simple search of what model Basil's camera was morphed into this, I am not sorry.

[thejokig23]

I have managed to beat Symphony of the Night (multiple times, I might add) and I do love it, what it does well it does better than pretty much most games I've played. However, it has just enough flaws that really hamper the experience for it to not break imto my top 10.

The aesthetic is simply fantastic, though I find the sparse use of 3D somewhat jarring. It works very well for a scarce few background elements, but it's somewhat distracting for objects or enemies you interact with. I have a handful of minuscule nitpicks as well - Alucard's attack and blocking animations are simply flipped versions of each other, and I sometimes find his after images a bit much.

The exploration and movement was fantastic, probably the best of any Metrovania I've played. While the reverse castle isn't perfect (high level enemy spam, wonky traversal, very little visual difference from the first castle), it does satiate a need I have in other adventure games - something to do with a maxed out character. A minor issue I have is that a couple abilities feel a bit pointless: the base wolf transformation (not counting glitches or exploits), the sonar power you use once, bat fire balls, and the base version of form of mist are all incredibly underwhelming. Still, every other power up you get can be pretty exciting.

The combat is... Serviceable. It's not the focus of the game, and I like the back slide, but it tends to frustrate me quite a bit. Contact damage really feels out of place in a game that has such great deliberate animations, shields are pretty dinky, and I find the weapon variety to be poorly balanced. The level up system also feels tacked on, and the Not Heart Containers feel much more in spirit of the game's core experience. The enemies and bosses are more misses than hits, as I find a lot of their attacks to be too quick or not telegraphed, while also not dealing enough damage to be a real threat, while at the same time being all too easy to cheese

The music is fantastic. I love any fantasy game that uses rock music unabashedly. My only gripes are that the Colosseum theme, while good, doesn't really fit a Colosseum, and that the inverted castle didn't hit as hard. The clock tower theme blew me away once it got going, and might be my favourite level theme in any game.

The PS1 voice acting is the most So Bad It's Good voice acting I have ever heard, and I don't think Alucard's voice fits his character. The PSP voice acting is much better, but it lacks a lot of the great lines. The delivery is much better, at least, and the lines are better written overall.

Definitely will replay it often, as the game lends itself to multiple playthroughs. I'd also highly recommend it if you like any individual part of the game.

HEY I PLAYED FNF AGAIN AND DECIDED TO JUST.. SKIP THE SPOOKEEZ FOR NOW AND I MADE IT TO WEEK 8!! IM FIGHTING TANKMAN!! i have questions you might be able to answer

what tf/who tf is Senpai? i had no fuckING IDEA HE WAS GONNA TURN INTO A BLOODCLOT!? HELLO!?

also has to do with senpai, but where is gf and bf during this? like... do we have vr handsets on orr...?

why is tankman so mean :(

is tankman voiced by the same person in fnf and in sm :O? they sound really similar (the hobomen yknow)

ok thats all :3 ive gotten the hand of it MY HAND HURTS

YIPPEE HEHE

Okay to answer all of these:

Senpai is just an AI. He isn't programmed to lose, so he flips his shit when BF beats him. The "bloodclot" is Spirit, a victim of Daddy Dearest's who was sealed into Senpai's game for... one reason or another. On that note:

BF and GF are IN the game world, straight up. Daddy Dearest was still bitter over losing to BF, so after seeing him and GF playing on her old PS1, decided to fuck with him by using demon magic or whatever to throw him into the game they were playing

Because it's funny! -- Tankman's entire Thing is being a funny jerk, though it's actually a bit exaggerated compared to the actual Tankmen shorts (only a bit tho)

Yeah yeah he is! The guy is JohnnyUtah, he also created the Tankmen series :]

Anyways CONGRATS ON GETTING TO TANKMAN!! Make sure to rest your hand!

The larxist manifesto ~ Greetings!

Welcome to my blog!! If you are reading this, you are probably one of my friends that I've linked to my new Tumblr blog. Blogging is a very new concept to me, so please bear with me as I find my voice and figure out formatting >w<

For as long as I can remember at this point, I've been typing long-winded rants on my computer about the random topics that are on my mind—from linguistics to video game reviews to venting about everyday annoyances. Until now, those were only available to myself in the form of my private journal. But after many Discord info dumps that I put way too much effort into, only to be scrolled off the screen in about five seconds of chatting, I've decided I wanted a more permanent and creative way of sharing my thoughts and interests with those I care about! So basically, if you've enjoyed me rambling on about random stuff in the past, you will probably like this blog :}

Oh, you're wondering about the banner and profile picture? The pfp is based on the box art from a game called Doga de puzzle da Puppkupu, an obscure PS1 game by a now-defunct game company called Argent. This company and the mystery around its existence has been a deep fascination of mine for years now. I've created a lot of stuff based on their properties, like my original character (OC) named Taizen Asobi. He's a Nintendo DS game case with eyeballs :3

My banner image relates to Argent as well—a welcome image from the old home page for the company, which also developed one of my favorite DS games of all time, Clubhouse Games. Don't worry, I'll explain all the lore more thoroughly at a later time.

As of right now, one of the main focuses of this blog will be the project mentioned in the previous post: GameGirl28. This challenge kicked off the whole idea of me blogging in general. I play a lot of video games. I love them as an art form, a social activity to connect people, and a fun pastime. Often, I will step away from playing a game and find my head absolutely swimming with commentary and criticism and highlights and funny moments to reflect on. Until now, I usually did all this reflection alone. But now, I have an outlet to share it all with my loved ones! Since this challenge is driven by a specific purpose and will indeed challenge me a lot, it's the perfect way to kick off my little internet journal here.

Also, I hope this will be a way to chat more with folks about stuff I'm interested in! So if you're particularly curious about the topics or what I have to say about them, always feel free to reach out to me! Anything from a Lincoln-Douglass style debate to hyper fangirling over shared media interests, I'm down for it!!

Get ready to crack open the manifesto! Flip through the pages of my deranged mind that the world wasn't quite prepared to witness... until just now. You are no longer safe from the influence of larxism. You will convert.
