Calling all fans of colorful chaos and pulse-pounding platforming! A vibrant new title is poised to take the gaming world by storm – Rakugaki, a single-player 3D platformer set in a dazzling cyberpunk metropolis. Developed by Wabisabi Games and published by Gearbox Publishing, Rakugaki promises a captivating journey filled with speed, style, and a whole lot of artistic rebellion. This article delves deep into the world of Rakugaki, exploring its captivating features, potential influences, and the reasons why it should be on your must-play list. Rakugaki A World Drenched in Neon: The Cyberpunk Setting of Rakugaki Rakugaki transports players to Cap City, a once-vibrant metropolis now choked by the oppressive rule of the B Corp. This megacorporation has sapped the city of its life and color, leaving behind a dreary landscape dominated by concrete and steel. But amidst the bleakness, a ray of hope emerges – the RKGK crew. This ragtag group of rebels, led by the spirited Valah, aims to reclaim Cap City's lost vibrancy. Their weapon of choice? Graffiti! Players take on the role of a member of the RKGK crew, wielding paint cans as powerful tools of resistance. By splattering the city with vibrant colors, they fight back against B Corp and restore life and joy to the citizens. A Symphony of Speed and Style: Rakugaki's Gameplay Mechanics Rakugaki's gameplay emphasizes fluidity, speed, and creative expression. Players will navigate through Cap City's intricate environments, mastering a range of acrobatic maneuvers. Expect thrilling wall runs, gravity-defying jumps, and stylish grinds as you traverse rooftops and alleyways. But Rakugaki isn't just about flawless parkour – it's about leaving your artistic mark. Throughout the levels, you'll encounter designated areas where you can unleash your inner street artist. Here, the game transforms into a creative playground, allowing you to paint murals and graffiti art, bringing color back to the once-bleak city. The emphasis on speed and agility is reminiscent of classic titles like Jet Set Radio, promising a fast-paced and exhilarating gameplay experience. Whether you're dodging B Corp security forces or weaving through a bustling marketplace, Rakugaki keeps you on the edge of your seat. Beyond the Paint: Enemies, Allies, and a Rebellion Brewing The path to artistic liberation isn't without its obstacles. B Corp has deployed its enforcers – a ruthless group led by the enigmatic Mr. Buff. These robotic adversaries will attempt to thwart your efforts, requiring skilled platforming and strategic use of your paint-splattering abilities to overcome them. But you won't be alone in your fight. The RKGK crew is a team of diverse and quirky characters who will offer support and assistance. Expect witty banter and humorous interactions as you team up with these fellow rebels to liberate Cap City. A Celebration of Art, Rebellion, and Creativity: Why Rakugaki is a Must-Play Rakugaki stands out from the crowd for several reasons. Here's what makes it a title worth keeping an eye on: A Breath of Fresh Air: The vibrant and stylized cyberpunk setting offers a welcome change from the often-gritty and grimdark portrayals of the genre. Rakugaki injects a dose of color and humor, making it a visually stunning and uplifting experience. Gameplay with Heart: The combination of fast-paced platforming and creative expression offers a unique gameplay loop that is both challenging and rewarding. A Story of Hope and Rebellion: Rakugaki's narrative goes beyond just splattering paint. It's a story about fighting for freedom, individuality, and the power of artistic expression. Get Ready to Unleash Your Inner Artist: When and Where to Play Rakugaki The wait is almost over! Rakugaki is slated for release on Steam on May 22nd, 2024, priced at a budget-friendly $19.99. If you're a fan of platformers, cyberpunk aesthetics, or simply want a game that's bursting with creativity, Rakugaki should be at the top of your wishlist. FAQs Q: Will Rakugaki be available on platforms other than Steam? A: As of now, Rakugaki is set to release exclusively on the Steam platform, but there may be plans for additional platform releases in the future. Q: What sets Rakugaki apart from other cyberpunk games? A: Rakugaki stands out for its unique blend of vibrant visuals, intuitive gameplay mechanics, and immersive storytelling, offering players a truly one-of-a-kind gaming experience. Q: Can players expect DLC or expansions for Rakugaki in the future? A: While no official announcements have been made regarding DLC or expansions for Rakugaki, it's possible that additional content may be released post-launch to expand upon the game's world and narrative. Q: How long is the gameplay experience in Rakugaki? A: The length of gameplay in Rakugaki can vary depending on individual playstyles and completionist tendencies, but players can expect a rich and engaging experience that offers hours of entertainment.

paul byron's been there

[patrocles]

seeing non-stop photos and videos of palestinians dying, bombs exploding, cataclysmic destruction, people finding their families in the rubble, doctors holding traumatized babies and toddlers, people sending farewell videos out begging not to be forgotten, the entire health sector of gaza collapsing, israeli government officials bragging about doing the genocide

only for biden to fix his mouth to say “they’re lying, dont trust them” has truly broken my brain

[grimalkinmessor]

Half the conflicts in this show wouldn't even exist if people would just be nice to the thirteen-year-old. Or even just not actively mean to him. Leave him alone he's living his life 😭

[wcrpbubble]

like for a small thing.

Hey thats very sweet but if ur not @cyco-dyko or @so-thursday-bingo you should know im taken by the aforementioned queers

[kissingwookiees]

not enough discussion about how ar/rrowver/se absolutely fucked most people's perception of the dcu if that was their initial introduction

[abyssalfaith]

Astro moon obs :)

As I have known many of them, aries moon can be very childish, they kind of have the emotional capcity of a 3 years old. That being said, they are extremely loyal in friendship and love and are a ride or die.

Gemini moon often are multi langual. They are very smart in the learning of langage and new discipline. The fact that their head is in constant turmoil make them able to multitask a lot. Multi tasking is also often a way to avoid their emotion.

Pisces moon can be a big no if the chart is bad aspected. If it is the case, the native can be prone to mental disorder associated to mood swings such as borderline or bipolar trouble (please if you feel like your emotion are too much, see a mental specialist, do not stay alone :) <3 )

taurus moon love langage are often cooking or gifting things to the loved one. Their moon being rules by venus they constantly need to spoil the other one.

Sagittarius moon are feral. Black humour, sex and racist jokes, very judgy but they often do worse than the object of their judgement. As a gemini moon, the opposition feel funny to me because we are very alike, i looooove them lmaooooo

I do not know a lot of aquarius moon, just one, and he is an aquarius stellium. I like him platonically but i am not able to get him, what he is up to, what does he like ? He is a fog for sure... aquarius vibes for sure.

Sorry to the scorpio, libra, virgo and leo moon : I do not know these placement enough to speak about it...

Capricorn moon can be considered stern but often they are the most joyful poeple ever ! I think that it's due to the hardship that often happen to them, they know that life can be harder than what they have, I see these poeple enjoying every little think because they know God can take it any moment.

Cancer moon are often mama's boy (men and women), they need to stay near their family, being helped by them or being a help to them. Family anytime and anywhere, at all cost ! (Can be too much)

12th house moon : daydreamer and escapist, can be prone to be delulu because they live too much in their head. Derealisation can be a problem,

10th house moon : obsessing with work, workalcoolic, delulu about their capacities and their ambitions. YOU NEED TO LET IT GOOOOOOOOOO.

Share your placement :)

Love, Abyssal Faith

== Love Notes ==

Hey there lovelies. Wow. This has been a hell of a year so far, huh? It's only the 15th of January, and yet it feels like it's somehow in June or July. Please remember to take some time to yourself today, whatever time it is now.

I think we all could use a break, whether it be from work, or stress, or bad news. This is just a little reminder that our brains like to retrain themselves when things continue to happen. They see bad things, and so they start expecting bad things to help us cope. If you have a moment, be sure to break up that cycle for your brain. Doesn't matter what it is, it could be very small -- buy yourself that fancy coffee or treat, just take a moment to step outside and just breathe in the air for a few minutes where it's calm, or ask a friend for a hug. Hell, go check your folder of fanart or rhys or taika or whomever pictures and just bask in the glory of it all for like 1 whole minute. Just do something small that makes you happy. Try to do that a couple times a day, or even once a day. Your brain will see that good things can happen, and recognize that not everything is awful, and the more you do those little things, the more your brain will trend back towards hope and things going the right way too.

I know this quote is going back around the last couple days, and I think it's really important:

FRODO: What are we holding on to, Sam?

SAM: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for. Just a gentle reminder, you are the good in the world. Don't forget that. Sending love Crew.

With A Series of Dusk revealing the Scorching Heart ritual is used to eliminate any field investigators who may disobey or betray the Foundation (used as a last resort, otherwise its the Razor squad) I wonder if it is a ritual placed on the investigator then who has it?

Would it be everyone? Or those more dangerous? Because if it's all field investigators then people like Windsong and Marcus may have them but I highly doubt this ritual could be both applied on mass to every investigator of all levels. I suggest it comes down to danger and threat level/ how the Foundation can control the person mentally before any physical action can be taken.

For Windsong and Marcus I don't think they have the ritual one them, both are fully willing and committed to the Foundation (I think its the supervisors who are given the ritual to apply it, idk if this depends if they are an arcanist but deffo Greta would have never implied a ritual on Marcus), and for Windsong if anything the Foundation can hold the Rayashki kids at SPDM hostage.

If the Foundation cannot control the individual, say if said individual had nothing to lose then the ritual is considered and used: Semmelweiss.

But what I want to know is Vertin and Sonetto, Sonetto I think likely has the ritual or at the very least would be subjected to it if the Foundation saw the Timekeeper as a genuine threat to the Foundation (consider it a hostage situation if Vertin begins to act independently to their wishes, someone higher up than Constantine, maybe the Doves of the White Marble House).

Maybe Vertin herself has it, we do know she was experimented on for a time, the only person to be successfully immune - we dont know the full ramifications of these experimentations yet (was the scar something she was born with or the result of one of these tests?). As someone who is Storm Immune her flexibility is a liability to the Foundation if she ever bretayed the Foundation.

Now to the person who uses the ritual, for Semmelweis it was her supervisor Madam Lindsay. For Vertin this would either be Madam Z but ofc she would never use this in any capcity on Vertin and Constantine (who would never end to resort to the ritual since she alr knows how to one up Vertin in multiple ways).

Much of this is speculation but the reveal of such a ritual is scary

[autistickfigure]

ok so i took a bath which is my measure of time SO today i will be playing peggle and pikuniku at the same time. i do not know what that means just yet but i will get abck to you maybe

BUT WHAT first.. 🤔

[waywardsou2]

Crosshair Brain Rot

Guys I cannot get over this...I have been on the Crosshair brain rot for a week straight and I just need to word vomit about this.

@miss-musings said it best but I want to say it again.

Crosshair was abandoned by his brothers. NOW BEFORE YOU GET MAD HEAR ME OUT!

This is not me shitting on the rest of the batch, this is not me saying "teehee I'm a Crosshair girly aha 😍" (I can't believe I just wrote that) This is me explaining my point of view about what happened with Crosshair and his little excursion with the Empire.

First things first. Yes - Crosshair was gunning for them, Yes - Crosshair was trying to get them to join the Empire. Was he a bad guy? For a while, yeah. If you don't acknowledge that then there is no point in defending him at all. He was a bag guy, accept that. But then he did better.

But let's get to the bulk of it. The rest of the Batch never went back for him, sure they told him to "come back to them" whenever they did meet up, but they never actively went looking for him like they did with Omega and Hunter. They never went to find him, to save him and knock some sense into him.

They just went "he made his choice...oh well"

Crosshair actively sought them out several times. I wasn't just when he was ordered to. If they were ever hinted about - he offered to take the mission, if they bumped into each other (like on Ryloth) he tried to talk to them. Sure, he was asking them to join the wrong side. But he still wanted them to be together.

He wanted them back, he felt abandoned.

Yeah he made the wrong choice siding with the Empire but I get the feeling that that was to do with the fact that he was afraid of losing his purpose. He saw what was happening to the Clones and he knew that he had to continue to be loyal and useful if he wanted a purpose as a soldier.

I think the idea of being useless frightened him. Which is why he stayed with the Empire.

Eventually, when he was joined on Tantis by Omega I can assume that she ended up visiting him almost every day (based on the way they talked inside and after Tantis) He was quite mean to her considering she was just trying to seek comfort and stick to the only person she could trust in that place (that is another can of worms I don't have time to open). He constantly was mean to her, rude, saying horrible stuff to drive her away.

Why?

Because after all he had done he didn't believe he was worth her time or the risk. He didn't think that after all he had done trying to kidnap her and gun for his brothers that he deserved her kindness.

But Omega is just that awesome that she clung to Crosshair anyway, she knew he was worth it despite everything.

No, not even despite it. She loved him anyway because he was her brother, and she knew what he must've been through to get to where he was now. (Omega is a queen)

But again, this actually shows how much he cares about his family because he's like "I made a mistake, I miss my family, but I don't expect them to ever want me back" (which falls in line with his argument with Hunter later down the line)

There are several other things he did to show that he cares about them

Getting ready to defend Omega whilst she was gambling with that officer

Despite her giving him all the money he still went and followed her to where Batcher had been taken

He made sure that no matter what she got back to Hunter and Wrecker.

When CX-2 followed them to Rex's secret base and they were running through the woods he made sure that she was keeping up, had her gear on her and was prepared.

Like it's obvious how big his capcity to care is.

Then after his fight with Hunter he says this

Crosshair: Hunter? I... I thought I knew what I was getting into with the Empire. I thought I was being a good soldier. Hunter: Nobody really understood what was happening back then. Crosshair: I've done things. I've made mistakes. Hunter: I have regrets too, Crosshair. All we can do is keep trying to be better. And who knows? There just might be hope for us yet.

HE ACTIVELY ADMITS HIS MISTAKE!!! Yeah, he was an idiot choosing the Empire, even despite what I said about him being scared, he chose the Empire. BUT HE KNOWS WHAT HE DID, HE ACKNOWLEDGES IT AND HE APOLOGISES.

This is more of a head canon than anything else but I still think it has some truth to it. Crosshair struggles to convey his emotions and he doesn't know how to directly say what he means. So things get lost between his brain and his mouth and it come out in frustration and his brothers take it as anger or an attack.

Him saying this was a huge step considering he's never said anything in such a sincere manner before.

Anyway I've rambled on long enough but I needed to say this because its been on my mind for ages.

Wayward out!

[xulips]

Can we get more papahane plz?

(Love your content btw keep it up)

AGAIN SORRY I DON'T THINK I HAVE THE CAPCITY TO DO REQS ATM BUT THANK YOU FOR LIKING MY STUFF (AND ALSO PAPAHANE)
