Yo whaddup, what are you fav dreamcast games? I picked one up a while ago and have been looking for good ones, but there are so many that look super good it’s hard to pick what to burn CDs for

if you like fighters or shmups alone I can see you using a whole spindle up so I'll just say the first 10 that come to mind in GIF form :) and every DC Capcom / Sonic Team / AM2 release is a hit so gotta make sure you get all those and the few but A++ RPG's Skies of Arcadia, Grandia 2, Phantasy Star Online and Shenmue 1+2 (which really is just it's own thing and not for everyone).

Tech Romancer (Capcom)

Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future (Appaloosa Interactive)

Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram (AM3)

Rez (United Game Artists, same team of Space Channel 5!)

TrickStyle (Criterion Games)

My personal opinion on Sunday is that while he is by no means a saint, everything he's doing is motivated by his love for his sister and hus grief over her death (if she's actually dead, at least).

I agree with u anon!!!

You can really tell how much Robin’s death has affected him. Especially when Welt and Acheron go through his office and find all those documents…

Lists of suspects, files of past guests’ experiences with “death”, more papers of research regarding the meme… he’s really losing himself over it. It’s affected him so much that the other Family Heads have noticed and Old Oti told him to cut it out. Even the Dreamaster is getting upset.

But he still didn’t listen despite the risk of impeachment. He’s got tunnel vision.

Had a cool dreamast night that I tried to put together after waking up. Now and then I dream things that could be turned into actual books... And I'm honestly thinking about working on this idea more.

12082024— media consumption diary #3

1) Manga — Oversleeping Takahasi : Read the 1st chpter, i like it so far (the art, storyline). It's abt mc, takahashi for some reason always late to school for every day and his go-to excuse is oversleeping. Turn out dude is a chosen hero, is given a power to fight ghost around the area that for some reason like to appear at morning instead of mghrib or malam lol.

The mc is kind-hearted warm that cannot stop helping people and there's this girl also (the heroine i think idk) she's giving teruhashi i love her already hshhshs.

2) Honkai Star Rail — I BEAT AVENTURINE BOSS (YIPPPEEEEE). Thanks to Kafka and mc for main dmg dealer, gepard for the thick shield, and my newly build healer, Natasha 😭😭😭. Bro only has 2 phases but it's a long fight tbh. (My mistake for increasing the equilibrium level right before fighting him lolol.)

Repeated process of 2 basic atk (to save energy skill) > enter that annoying aventurine's gambling atk > spam clicks of natasha/ gepard ulti (whoever available)> use skill for kafka n mc > sacrifice natasha n gepard over the one shot atk > repeat. Natasha died tho at 3/4 health Aventurine but we wonn.

(SPOILER WARNING) Then the story proceed by him tryna nuke the whole city (he made it as flashy as he can) , get slashed by Acheron, Aventurine move on to his next plan, Sunday went off to Gallagher- get killed, Acheron is exiled from the Penacony, Boothill's crashing to our train (team up with Danheng to go inside Penacony) move on to us meeting Firefly n knowing abt SAM as stellaron hunter, went to other side of the dreamscape, meeting everyone (trailblazer team, Robin, Sunday, Gallagher, Firefly n Misha for some reason) more detailed lore about Watcmaker, the Families, creation of Penacony are revealed, getting ready to face Dreamaster and etc etc.

Also i love Sunday and Robin as in character design omg. Two talented n pretty orphan siblings get adopted by a rich family and become influential enough to be at top position of the family only to betray them back. Robin is so soft im crying and Sunday???? Go off Tenshouin Eichi. They're like Ayato Ayaka hsr version but more doomed(?).

Penacony story is so long istg it's been weeks 😭😭😭. But i enjoyed it so far. Nice.

3) New offline farming game, Anna's Monster Farm. It's about building a farm and monster village that has been destroyed by human then take revange when we have enough resources. Bole la utk bazir masa.

I dreamast night that I was transforming into a bubbly snail. And It was everything I ever wanted. And I was so happy and content. And then I woke up. But at least I woke up to my favourite person in the whole wide world.

Phantasy Star Online 2 Closed Beta Impressions

Home is a feeling, not a place. This is where Phantasy Star Online 2 fits in my life. There was a huge gap in time since the original release back in the year 2000 and then the Blue Burst release on PC back in 2005. PSO2 released in Japan during July of 2012. Almost eight years later from that release and even more time since the nostalgia with the original release and its rebirth of sorts through Blue Burst, the feeling of home remains.

We will get probably my only negative point out of the way, which was to be expected in a closed beta. There were issues getting online for the first five hours the game was live. An Error 37 issue, if you will. Expected problems…but they KNEW how many people would be excited for this. It has been almost eight years for a proper US release. Being that it is a closed beta, they knew exactly how many people were going to be logging on. Not being properly prepared from the start is inexcusable and they were silent on the issue until almost an hour into being live. Now that this is out of the way, let’s forget about that and get into what the game has in store.

What people enjoy with Monster Hunter World combat wise, started here. The Action-RPG style of combat. I always look at Phantasy Star Online as the MMO before MMOs were cool since it existed before World of Warcraft. I’ll get back to this point in a minute. PSO2 has a lock on that isn’t perfect but just works. In Monster Hunter World you have to switch up some options to get it to work (IMO) better than it does with default settings, and even then, it feels a bit funny. Said system may have improved with this one due to being able to swap targets. There also seems to be a free aim of sorts as well and more precise targeting options with Rangers. I don’t play a Ranger however, so I can’t entirely confirm that last bit. Personally, I made a Techtor/Hunter named Dimidia who I got to level 30 before the closed beta period ended.

Phantasy Star Online did not technically start as an MMO as the main parts of the game were very much not that. However, the lobbies and player interactions in them very much functioned like traditional MMOs do today. Phantasy Star Online 2 embraces this and fully realizes an MMO style within the sci-fi world of Phantasy Star. The basics from the first are there to enjoy but there is so much more to grasp with this game and I look forward to learning it. People legitimately just hang out here to chat in game at times…and have fun doing it. It is hard to put this into words when this really seems like something many have gotten used to already in whichever MMO of choice already. This spirit of community has not faded since the dial-up connection days through the Dreamcast.

Drops in the game have much variety and the game will launch with all previous missions from the existing game in Japan. The character creator has been significantly improved to make characters look different from one another and MAGs (familiars with abilities and stat boosts for your character) are still a thing. PSO2 also carries over a great feature from Final Fantasy XIV in which you technically only need one character for all your classes. Couple this with a subclass system that allows you to have stat bonus and abilities enjoyed from whichever one you pick to combine with your main class. There are some returning weapons from the first Phantasy Star Online (hi Lavis Cannon) that many will have their eyes on and newer ones too I’m sure. I’m still trying to understand how armor and gear works in the game. You can swap between equip sets relatively easy for different weapons and spell setups. I assume this will be easier down the line when PC becomes an option to play on. This current closed beta was only on the Xbox One but the game release will be playable with Xbox One and PC players enjoying cross-play. I’m hoping they test this in an open beta, should they do one in the first place. Four races and nine classes in-game make for pretty good build variety too with up and close or ranged melee builds, support builds, casters, or hybrid versions of everything just mentioned. I think there may be hidden classes of sorts not included in that total but I’m unsure on that.

When playing the closed beta, there was some lag in select areas. Was to be expected with multiple people playing and all, but nothing that took away from the flow of the game. The combat feels very smooth, the addition of a dodge is very welcome, and being able to not just get timed hits with your melee damage, but spells as well is amazing. I forget if you can do timed hits with spells in the first game. If you could, feel free to ignore that bit. The areas and quests didn’t feel samey from what was played, and this isn’t even everything…so there will naturally be much more to enjoy. I can’t speak in regard to voice chat as I think only one person used it total. Can’t speak much about chat UI either but I wouldn’t dare without a keyboard anyway. Gonna have to look into that for console play.

One big attraction to the game for me and the series as standard RPGs before it has always been the sci-fi scene. It provides an escapism of sorts and gets the thought process going. Is this where we could be in the future? I suppose we’re about done here. Anything further would be ranting and I already did that in a YouTube video. Hopefully this was a bit more informative than that...but this is only the beginning. APRG fans owe it to themselves to give this a shot upon the official release or (hopefully) a potential open beta in the near future.

Have you thought about making Redtail's Choice into a printed book?

I have! I actually had a dreamast night that I got it printed and sent a copy to a local library lol, it made me really inspired to work on getting it printed for real! I'm not entirely sure how to sell them, however, because of legal concerns, but I'll... figure it out later, lol. I'd have to go back and adjust prior pages, though, to make designs consistent.

Twelve Days Of Headcanons Day Nine - Aster

Pleasure

Aster finds pleasure in anything he does with Asher. In eating him, in spending time with him, in hearing his laughter, in listening to him talk. He seeks pleasure in all things and will go out of his way to look for things that will feel good. He knows he will not have his body forever and he hopes to find things that he will still like after his joining.

Dream

Aster dreams every night, even when he doesn’t want to. He prefers the more gentle, non-R’lyehian dreams.

Nightmare

It’s a nightmare when he wakes up, having traveled to another place, and he feels like he died, or like he’s full of something that shouldn’t be there. He struggles a lot with waking up and going to sleep.
