#PC Case Gaming

[corpseauthority]

Here's a quick lil video tour of the custom warframe corpus locker pc I built, showing off some of the stuff that doesn't really show well on photos like the glowy animated cable thing which is honestly one of my favorite parts on this build

I'm excited to announce my collab with V1TECH for tech and LED art prints! It was a lot of work but they turned out great! Designing the PC cases was a fun nostalgia trip since it was the closest I've come to doing 3D art since I moved away from Game Development. There are more designs to come in the future and a LOT more on their site.

Antec Aria Computer Gaming World - July 2004

First step for my Another note fan game!

The game will feature:

Items, puzzles, multiple choices, multiple endings, a special ending cutscene, game over screens (?), quick time events, and so on.

I wanted to re-use the DS sprites for the characters, but it felt wrong and lazy so, I decided to draw them in my style.

I gotta think about the other poses and expressions.

Something about L's voice doesn't convince me tho....

I think once I'll finish the game, I'll make it available on my itch.io profile.

What's interesting about Steam is that it started as a patch tool for Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2, and also a form of DRM as these things go. It was very, very poorly recieved at the time. It was very likely it could have failed, and the face of PC gaming would have been completely unrecognizible.

honestly part of the reason i've been really looking forward to finally playing light fingers (aside from the obvious horrors and whatnot) is because it, alongside bag a legend, contains a Choice™ i to this day am Extremely Torn About Making. like i've known for ages that the Choice™ exists in this ambition and STILL i am undecided about it. this Choice™ is of course. well. let's just say that by the time this ambition ends, caeru may not be the only catboy around town

My copy of KEY is still in Kansas. I reached out to FedEx and Her Interactive, and haven’t gotten an answer from either of them.

I’m not getting my game, am I?

The fact Shirou is muted by default is horrifying because of course most players aren’t going to mess around in the settings of a visual novel since people will generally assume there’s nothing that needs to be changed in what seems to be such a simple game. I don’t even want to think about how many people will just assume Shirou isn’t voiced because they never saw the voice sliders…

Of course, Fate wasn’t voiced originally but the voice acting for Shirou really does so much for keeping the player from trying too hard to project (heh) on him. And such an important part of understanding Shirou is not treating him as a player insert. The conscious decision to mute Shirou by default and lead the player into seeing him as a player insert is really unforgivable to me.

This is my digital fanart poster for Mystery Case Files 25: The Dalimar Legacy.

I did a remake on Emma Ravenhearst's character design I used all the Emma Ravenhearst references from the past games including the sketches from the first Ravenhearst game, the actress from RTR and EFR, and retained the blue dress and a tint of red hair of Emma from the Dalimar Legacy. I did a different rendition of Evelyn Ravenhearst as well.

As for the Spider-follower, I used the sketch of that robot as a reference instead of the 3D model. I kinda liked the huge menacing claw more than the small funny claw from the 3D one.

I retained the basic form of the Ravenhearst Manor/new MCF HQ, but I also retained some elements from GrandMa's design such as the bay window (which is blocked by the sail of the mini airship), the gable roof and its rakes of the forever home and the stone brick material finishes.

I appreciate the Dalimar Legacy's retelling of the Ravenhearst plot line. Aside from Master Detective, Charles and Emma, the main highlight for me is Angelica Morgan, an interesting character.

I might skip A Crime in Reflection fanart next and proceed with The Riddle of Mrs. Bishop fanart instead because that game sparked my interest once again, but might I still do A Crime in Reflection fanart if I have spare time and motivation, lol.

As for app/software/devices, I used Ibis paint with my finger on da smartphone :DDDD

You can watch the speed paint here:

Alright so ive been thinking about it (probably far too much) and want a second opinion.

Tears of the Kingdom and Baldurs Gate 3 were the same price.

TotK gave me a total of like. I think it was 160 hours to 100% completion (koroks ignored) in my case. And then i set it down and have had no urge to touch it again.

I'm about 120 hours into BG3 now. I have not completed my first playthrough, and I expect Ive still got some 30 hours left of it. I DO intend to play through it again, and I know that there are countless things left for me to do in it still.

And like. I ENJOYED TotK. It was a blast. But looking at BG3 now, complete with its 3 stage city map, like five other maps too, full voice acting, complex storyline, multiple endings, replayability, etc.

It has me realizing that TotK reused its old map. The only major addition was a procedurally generated single-biome underworld and a couple of floating islands (several of which were copy pasted around the map). Most of its gameplay was already built on the previous game.

So the thought I keep coming back to then is that TotK was fine. It was fun. But if BG3 is a 70 dollar game, then TotK has no good reason to be any more than $40.

But I think youre more into both games than I have been, so I wanna know your thoughts.

Sat on this for a little bit and...yeah. $40 is a good price for it.

Like, I'm not too mad about the map thing. BG3 was in production since BotW came out, while TotK started in 2019 and has to deal with a physics environment. I know what I'm getting into with a Nintendo game when I buy one, I know the level of writing and effort (and railroading) to expect. But the price thing has been a thorn in my side that I've ignored for...awhile.

I do think BG3 deserved another year to cook. Maybe two. I'm extremely GLAD it came out when it did, because I found it when I did, but the third act, for all its complexity, has a lot of loose ends that need tying together. Which, I also am not mad about. When you've had Pokemon-level writing for most of your life, and you connect dots in Zelda, literally any snippet of BG3 writing feels incredible. Even the worst bits of Baldur's Gate are so rich in comparison to the Nintendo games I play. But I DO think that they rushed themselves, and they definitely did it so as to not compete with Starfield.

Which is like...I've spent a decade evaluating whole wheat bread, and you've put a massive chocolate cake in front of me. I'm not going to care that the icing on the third tier isn't as fancy as the first two. I am kind of going to lament that the baker had to rush it out the door, though.

Also BG3 replayability >>>>>>>>> TotK replayability. Like, it's past Skyrim levels. I love games where my choices matter and aren't retconned.
