#this isnt even including 3DS games

[joseigamer]

treehouse censoring even alfred's, kagetsu's, etc romantic lines in elyos after you s-support them....

[sozoglam]

some details about my mcsm fangame !! :

☆ the game engine used to make it will be GAMEMAKER (some other games made using this engine are undertale, deltarune, hotline miami, and more)

☆ the game will be 2d, however it will be made with 3d mineimator renders (if you need an example of what i mean, think of fnaf)

☆ you will play as jesse, but you only have 3 choices: male jesse, female jesse, or an enby/nonbinary jesse which i will model myself (the jesse variants will be the green suspenders / red (?) hair clip ones). your gender will not change the date-able options or the story!

☆ the date-able characters will be lukas, petra, olivia, and axel

☆ depending on which route you choose, there will be fights with other characters! the fighting style would be most like omori i think

☆ there will be TONS of easter eggs, such as ocs, secret items, and even a secret date-able

☆ voice actors will not be hired. the dialogue would appear in a text box, along with undertale-like dialogue sounds taken from their official va's voice

☆ i am doing this entire project by myself at the moment. this includes creating the renders, modeling background characters, modeling BACKGROUNDS, making music, programming, etc. please know that this will NOT come out anytime soon, and being rushed isnt my vibe. im still thinking how i could get volunteers to help, but im kinda braindead atm. if you guys have any ideas lemme know! :)

PLEASE REPOST IF YOU CAN! it would help share this with the fandom and itll mean a lot to me!!!!

top 5 metroid suits?

I had more to say about this than I thought lol

5. Varia Suit (Prime)

This one is her most iconic version of the varia suit and her most iconic suit in general. There is a lot to love. The way Retro studios managed to translate her suit into 3d. How it seems practical while not being too realistic and still looking very scifi. It is both simple, but also full of small details to enjoy. The weird knee pads (spikes?) and the huge shoulder pads. I think the only thing i could say that is bad would be the colors. They are fine, but they blend a bit too much with each other. It's not a huge deal breaker but it's something. It works with making her stand out a lot from everything else. Thats doesn't come into play often in prime since it's a fps, but it comes up more often in 2d or other m.

Since I brought it up, the varia suit from other m isnt that much worse than this one. It is pretty simplified, but it works, especially for that game.

4. Dark suit

I love how imposing this one is. Especially in this artwork. The suit is a perfect fusion between the Chozo and the Luminoth technology and makes it look like Samus put on the clothing of one of the Luminoth.

Despite being called the Dark suit it manages to not come across as evil however. Initnimdating, yes, but never really evil. The phazon suit from prime 1 looks more evil. To me, if you isolate it from the Luminoth connection, it looks more like a suit they would use to perform heavy duties. A real workers suit. Combined with the gravity booster later on it also has something of a diving suit.

3. Gravity Suit (Dread)

The dread variants of the main suits all show how much her suit manages to evolve since we last saw it in fusion. It makes the suit seem much more organic than anyone ever thought it would be, as it literally starts to grow back. It's not like Samus went to a mechanic and asked them to repair her suit. You can tell the suit isn't completely back either, since you still have parts that look like muscle tissue covering the suit as if there was exposed flesh from a still healing wound.

That was just about the main suits in dread in general, but what about the actualy gravity suit? Well for starters I have to confess that I never really like the gravity suit design much. It was still cool, and purple is my fav color, but I feel like they never made it look as good as they could in the past games. The colors were either too off balanced so that either the purple or the middle of the suit were either too saturated or too dull.

With dreads version that's an issue. It's the perfect purple. It's not too bright so it distracts from the main body and It's not too dark for it to not be noticable. It's not a simple color change like in past games. Samus seems bigger, more bulky in her suit now, making her seem more of a threat now, which is a nice progression for the player, where they can see themselves and how far they have come. I also love the little detail of the green lines starting to run along the main body, really seeling the feeling of the suit evolving with the change.

2. Fusion Suit

I did use a picture of the metroid prime version, but this includes all versions.

This one I love because of how big of a contrast it is to Samus's usual suits. While not always as bulky as the prime suit for example, they are still always big suits. Even when they try to be more sleek in their design, they still manage to look more robust than this one.

The fusion suit is Samus's suit stripped of all it's protective plating, revealing the soft flesh of it's inner workings. It's our first look at how the suit might work. It sells the idea that samus is really bonded with the suit, the whole covering looking more like organic muscle than actual machine. It makes her seem more vulnerable than before, while not making her seem incapable of doing something. With the heavy armoring gone she seems more agile, faster than before. What she lost in defense she makes up for it speed and freedom of movement. If it weren't for the helmet parts on the top, you would have a hard time telling apart the suit from the actual body.

Side note: I'm still so upset that it didn't return in the remastered version. There's no legal way to get it in prime one now.

1. Metroid Suit

Honestly I don't see this one being topped at any point. The way it suprised me when it showed up in dread was such a great suprise.

Well what's so great about it? To start with it, the design is-

I mean it looks like-

ough thats so...

yessss.....

YESSSSSSSS

To be a bit more serious, it is a pretty solid the design. The suit once again makes itself look less like an actual suit, and more like a living organism. This time however, instead of showing of the bond between Samus and her suit or to reveal the soft insides, it makes the suit look more like an actual creature. None of the parts her look like they belong on some high end piece of technology. Even the arm cannon and visor somehow manage to look like they are made of skin and bones.

The way the story builds up to it also adds so much to why I like it so much. The way it gets teased during the last emmi fight for example, or how you get some foreshadowing at the very start of the game. It's a nice conclusion to the fact that she had the metroid dna injected into her, making it the second time this safed her life and the third time the baby saved her.

I could probably talk a bit more, but I think that was enough for now.

suit v coll i lik :]

My opinion on the Palworld discourse that nobody asked for:

What I don't care about:

Guns in video games, including pokemon adjacent games

The in game monster "slave labor" which, from what I've read, isnt actually efficient and isnt super applicable to the real world unless you're PETA

What I do care about:

Art theft

The A.I. allegations don't seem to hold much water, although I wouldnt put it past the creator to use A.I. either in this project going forward or in future projects.

Yes, the artists on Palworld very clearly mashed up two or more pokemon, including their color palette, and made minimal adjustments to make them different enough to be considered fair use.

What about fakemon/digimon/monster hunter/dragon quest?

1. Fakemon are fan creations that don't make money.

2. Digimon, monster hunter, and dragon quest all have very unique art styles. If you took a similar concept from one of these games and one from Palworld, you could very clearly see a difference, even if the concept is similar. Palworld not only copied the concepts of pokemon, the art style, and some of the 3d models are nearly 1 to 1. The artists took the models from pokemon and futzed with them just enough until they were different enough to not violate copyright.

"But pokemon is a billion dollar company who has had their designs stolen before."

You're right! And with all the half finished games that pokemon has been putting out for the past few years, theres some karmic justice to someone coming out with their own spin on the pokemon formula and making millions of dollars from it.

"Pokemon doesnt have a monopoly on monsters and catching them"

No, and no one is arguing that. But they do own the designs, which is what the problem is.

So what is the problem?

Art theft. And especially now, when AI is stealing thousands of struggling artist's work, we should not be ok with art theft. Because it's one thing if a developer steals from a billion dollar company, but if that's not only ok, but profitable too, then they're going to steal from other smaller creators too, and other companies will follow suit.

Palworld is art theft, and that is a fact. And it sets a dangerous precedent for future works that may steal from smaller companies than pokemon.

What is the worst fighting game? What is your favorite dbz fighting game? And sorry about your haircut i hope you find a style or a cool hat while it grows back!

theres a lot of worsts, theres a lot of nonfunctional games and truuuly shitty stuff out there. i guess i can answer this question in an interesting way by explaining that most of them come from the same era -- "after sf2 came out and achieved god level popularity," but "before most developers could figure out why sf2 was fun at all" - and remember, for a lot of people, sf2 is fucking impossible.

this era is pretty long, too, because it stretches from the n64 all the way to the ps2. it transformed through that time, in ps1/n64 gen there were a lot of 3d fighter attempts that, like, weren't able to figure out how to make a 3d fighter. they either controlled horrifically, or didnt have a combo system so you just poked eachother, etc, etc...

but im getting ahead of myself. look at a game like shaq fu - a classic 'worst fighting game' (but nowhere near the 'actual worst'). the graphics are amazing, characters are cool (including shaq) and the premise isnt that awful. but the game just controls so horrifically that the only fun youll have from it is laughing at it. jumps take for-fucking-ever because theres a huge animation for it that has many many beautiful hand animated frames lol

mortal kombat armageddon, a game i love to death for including every MK character up to that point, is decent enough to play but it is a broken mess if you look at it for more than a second. there's infinite resetting air combos, ridiculous juggles, characters that can teleport and grab you from BLOCK CONFIRMING an extremely fast projectile (think 2 of them in a second)... cool game but its Really Bad, but ill still play it if its around because fuck it and i like it.

my favorite dbz game is fighterz even though ive barely played it because out of all the Anime Fighting Games its the Anime I Actually Respect and they did a bang up job of making a fighting game that feels like youre Watching A DBZ Episode. i watched a lot of it at ECT because it came up before my commentary and my god, i admit, its fun to watch characters like jiren in that game

send me cool hats

[ratgingi]

some margo content because i need to figure out how to draw her more . plus some misc facts abt her under cut

i cant remember if i mentioned it before or not but she tends to change jobs often, she hasn't been fired from any but instead she will pick up jobs and quit them a few months later after she grows bored with them. the places in town she's worked at include the arcade (she worked there before exie, and exie only worked with her for a few weeks as by the time she started the job margo was already getting ready to work elsewhere), the petstore (it was her first job in town, and well before outis was in the picture), the funfair (she worked at one of the game stalls), and the mcphonalds (where she and juniper met). shes also worked at a couple places outside city limits. a good chunk of the places she's worked at are still open to her to go back to as she is a decent employee who works hard at her jobs and learns fast. there are a few places shed never even consider though either because theyd take too long to be qualified for or just seem generally uninteresting to her.

the tattoo/piercing parlor she currently works at wouldnt be a place youd get to actually visit in her route but would probably be mentioned in passing a couple times

while growing up whenever she would act too 'girly' her father would pay their neighbors to teach her more 'manly' things, so as a result she knows how to do a handful of more technical things like minor car repairs/put together furniture/etc, and also went through some fighting classes and stuff. shes also good at things like repairing clothes and cooking because addy made sure to teach her stuff like that as well

she also has a number of random talents/general things she can do from hobbies she got into and since dropped, things like crochet, gardening, baking, etc etc. she isnt Fantastic at any of them really but shes decent at them. jack of many ace of none type deal

adelaide was actually the one who helped her pick her name bc when she was trying to figure out what she wanted to be called she asked her if she had any ideas and addy told her that she'd had the name margo picked out for her before she was born

she likes doing puzzles and stuff, the bigger or more complicated the better. she has a couple 3d puzzle figures hanging out in her house but they change often as she gets bored of seeing the same ones. theres a closet in her hallway that has nothing but the boxes past puzzles she's finished stay in

she has a big heart, but because of her issues with connection she refuses to let her more caring side show in the hopes it'll help others not to get too attached to her. she isnt rude or anything like that and if someone is clearly in need of some sort of shoulder to cry on she tends to soften up but otherwise youre most likely to get a distant n cold politeness, she believes that by doing so shes doing you a favor and would rather keep herself closed off than hurt you if her whole attachment issue acts up. however if she doesnt like you she just flat out wont interact with you no matter how much you try. you could be standing in front of her waving your hands in her face and she'll act like you dont exist to the point of actually walking into you and not acknowledging it if need be

during her route the player would be able to accompany her to do things like run errands around town, which is sorta the sign that youve Made It because youre allowed to just sorta exist with her without her insisting you go do something else/trying to keep away from you yknow. her way of showing affection is pretty much just i allow you to exist near me/i choose to exist near you and on the surface literally stops there so

the only person she considers herself to be genuinely close to is her mother, and even then from a distance you wouldnt even really be able to tell that theyre close from her end. addys a pretty vocally affectionate person and is also the only person margo allows to do things like hug/pat her (addy still does so sparingly and asks before hand for the sake of margos comfort <3)

when she got her first tattoo she sorta did so in an effort to make herself commit to something but has since forgotten that motivation for them and now just likes getting them because they look cool

she has really pretty handwriting because she went through a phase where she was really into calligraphy. for technical things like letters/important papers/what have you she writes in print but otherwise she likes doing it really fancy and would probably be one of those people who writes stupid shit in fancy letters on tiktok

she has a big thing about honesty, as shes pretty good at telling when people are lying even if she doesnt really know them. this is partially why trying to lie and come up with a fake answer when asking her out would result in her turning you down bc 1. doesnt really seem interesting and 2. she can tell youre not telling her the truth and decides she has better things to do

[m0thkiller]

been back on my space engineers grindset. ive turned the SCS TERN into a series of ships based on my traveller TTRPG setting. I still feel super new at the game even though ive built like a half dozen ships now of all different types. the current lineup is the Isopod utility shuttle(with a mining and repair variant), Gig orbital shuttle (with cargo or personnel variants), the tern cargo ship, the Kingfisher frigate, and my current project, the Eagle modular cruiser. (all of these pics are in various stages of development so the ships may look dif between frames. this is the most up to date lineup

my favorite part is the sort of reiterative process of drawing sketches of ships, then scuplting the hull to get a vibe for how it looks in 3d, and then resketching

even though its not complete, the Eagle is already my favorite because of how it can tactically dismember itself into distinct self sufficient hull sections. This means that in the future when i need new specific functions for a proper big boy ship i can swap out the hull sections for new ones. this feature took a lot of head scratching on how i would manage to make it look flush and in one piece (including airtight corridors between sections) while also not fusing it permanently via merge block.

With this feature in place ive already got a good idea for replacement parts like a carrier section and cargo section

it ofc isnt the only vessel with a fun gimmick involving subgrids, the kingfisher has a mounting gantry on the back for a drop tank like a fighter jet (the orange vessel whos 3d inertial stablizers, initialily installed to allow easier retrieval, turned it into just a small high capacity tanker). this tank is inert while connected and flashes on the second you disconnect, so youre encouraged to flick the nose up and "kick" it off the back of the ship before combat; letting the drop tank figure itself out. so you dont have a huge ungainly bomb dangling between your thrusters.

[clamdove]

decided to make a timeline of the classic* sonic games, in case anyone cares

(to be clear, this is just a headcanon. i will vibe with what official sources say whenever i Feel Like It)

tails adventure [sonic and tails have not met. i suppose this could also take place after/during sonic 1]

sonic 1 (genesis)/sonic 1 (8-bit) [if these are indeed 2 different stories, i dont rly think itd matter which came first]

sonic 2 (8-bit) [sonic knows tails but has not yet learned the spindash]

sonic cd [sonic has learned to spindash, but tails is not yet capable enuf to accompany him (also sonics sprite is still the one from the first game but that probably doesnt actually mean anything)]

sonic chaos/sonic & tails 1 [sonic feels comfy bringing tails alogn with him and has learned to spindash, but the 7th chaos emerald doesnt seem to be a Known Thing yet]

sonic triple trouble/sonic & tails 2 [i suppose you could argue this takes place after 3&k since knuckles is present and the 7th chaos emerald is a factor but its meant as a sequel to chaos/s&t1 so im putting it here]

sonic 2 (genesis) [sonic can spindash and fully trusts tails, 7th emerald is a factor, death egg is A Thing now]

sonic 3&k (sonic & tails's story) [sonic still has the emeralds from 2 at the start, death egg is still A Thing]

sonic 3&k (knuckles's story) [death egg is gone, knuckles & robotnik are enemies now. maybe the reason you dont actually fight robotnik directly is bc hes still recovering from his last defeat]

heres all the games that go Somewhere in my timeline but idk where:

sonic blast takes place sometime after 3&k [knuckles helps sonic, maybe the reason robotnik's plan isnt as grandiose is bc yet again hes still recovering from his last defeat]

tails sky patrol happens sometime after he meets sonic [hes described as wanting to go on an adventure without sonic, if he hadnt met sonic yet that part wouldnt occur to him]

sonic labyrinth takes place at the same time as tails sky patrol [sonic has defeated robotnik multiple times at this point, tails has met sonic but is absent]

knuckles chaotix takes place sometime after 3&k [knuckles tries to defeat robotnik, metal sonic has been repaired which means this probably takes place a decent amount of time after cd]

sonic the fighters takes place sometime after knuckles chaotix [death egg 2, espio is there, metal sonic has been repaired again]

sonic 3d blast takes place sometime after 3&k [sonic, tails, and knuckles are friends]

sonic mania takes place sometime after sonic the fighters [heavy magician disguises as bark & bean which wouldnt make as much sense if the cast hadnt already met them in stf]

and heres a list of all the games i know i didnt include:

sonic generations

sonic forces

sonic drift 1 & 2

sonic r

sonic spinball

sonic jam (game.com)

mean bean machine

segasonic the hedgehog

segasonic cosmo fighter

sonics schoolhouse

sonic x vapor

sonics bonus game

the lcd games

waku waku sonic patrol car

segasonic popcorn shop

sonic eraser

unreleased games

blue sphere [i dont even think this counts but i have a feeling someone would bring it up if i didnt]

knuckles in sonic 2 [ditto]

flicky [ditto]

dynamite bros [ditto]

sonic 4 [ditto]

*"classic" is defined based on Vibes, not when the game was released (hence the presence of generations, forces, and mania)

[lilghost1412]

Okay so this is going to be veeeeeerrryyy Long. I am gonna list all of the Options you have to experience this Story.

!!So do be Sure to read all of it even though it's very Long (I mean you want to get Into Ace Attorney , so there is a lot of Reading)!!!!!:

Option 1. The Games (pls hear me Out)

I know you Said you are broke but I am gonna list all of the options so that includes this, because the Games are great and I can recommend them.

The Games actually Go on Sale quiet reguarly so with patience so you May be able to afford them then. Maybe idk

First of all there are a lof of Games. You don't have to get all If the Games at once. They are wayyy to Long for that.

If you want to start, start with the Phoenix Wright Trilogy (or the great Ace Attorney chronicels as they are standalone)

But I recommend starting with the First game Trilogy ->the Investigation Collection ->The Apollo Justice Trilogy. -> Great Ace Attorney Chronicels(but than be played whenever) +but in general after starting with the First Trilogy then the Order is honestly Not that important

Also If you End Up playing the Games: there is No shame in save scumming and looking Up a guide. A lot of the fanbase does it!!!!

You could also consider pirating or emulating the games.

Though I'll honest I do Not know a lot about how that works.

I only Hacked my 3ds after the eshop shut down (it's actually quite easy. Just follow the how to Hack your 3ds Guide(it's a website. You can easily find it by googlin how to Hack your 3ds)

I actually have the majority of the Ace Attorney the Games on my 3ds aswell. I either installed it per h-shop or through installing a rom in the sd Card and then the sd Card Into my 3ds. That way I can also Play Phoenix Wright vs Professor Layton as this Crossover Games isnt in modern consoles or PC yet and maybe will never be

So yea Hacking your 3ds Is a cheap Option If you have a 3ds already. (If Not you would have to buy a 3ds an idk how expencive that would be)

Emulating in general is an Option but like I already Said: idk anything of how that works

But lets say you are way to broke or impatient for the Games on Sale (understandable) or don't want to emulate.

So Here are the other Options

Option 2: The Anime ,(it's an ok Option but eh)

There is also an Ace Attorney Anime that covers the Story of the First Trilogy. It's an ok Option but I wouldn't start with this one. Like with all Anime Adaptation of a visual novel, a lot is Lost. Like a lot of Phoenix bitchy internal Dialoge.The Anime is still great but it's better to watch it later imo.

Also how would you watch it?

I think the Anime is on Crunchyroll...or you could Just kinda watch it on the Internet. I am Sure there is some Website where you can watch it.

But Like I Said I would Not really recommend starting with the anime even though I do Like the Anime

Option 3: YouTube Longplay Videos

There are YouTube Longplays without commentary that would allow you to experience the whole Game Dialoge!!

You would have to read it yourself though and aren't the one in Control of the gameplay.

But it would allow you to read all of of the Dialoge, you can Pause and ponder at you own pace and can make your own opinion without any outside influences!

I know it's Not the Same as playing the Game but it is an Option. And hey. ITS FREE!!!

Option 4: Lets Plays. It's also Free!!!!

there are a Ton of Ace Attorney letsplays on YouTube so you could choose one of them. Though be careful WHO you choose as some May never Play all of it(Like rtgame who doesnt Plan on continuing the series after finishing the First Trilogy)

The great Thing about letsplays is that there are a lot of Options and they read the Dialoge aloud. You can also experience the Journey with them, though that might Change in how you See the Games( that can be positive and negativ)

There are a lot of Letsplays so you can choose whoever you vibe with but

I would recommend: SaveDataTeam with their series: Ace Attorney with an actually Lawyer

They have played the Phoenix Wright Trilogy,

the Ace Attorney Chronicels,

Apollo Justice(the First Game of the Apollos Justice "trilogy"),

are Now finishing Dual Destinies (the second Game of the Apollo Justice "Trilogy")

and are going to Play the Investigations Collection next

and then are going to Play Spirit of Justice (the third Game in the Apollo Justice "Trilogy")

(and I know that they are going to be playing all of them because they Said so)

I can honestly really recommend them. There are 3 Guys: Zak who Plays the games and voices the Main Character, Wes who voices the majority of the Character and Prij an actual Lawyer!!!

They are a lot fun and it's nice to have a lawyers Perspective. But they also have a segment where they Look at Ace Attorney Fanart that is send in their discord at the end of every second Video!!!!

(at least nowadays, they record a Livestream and then Cut it Up Into two Videos. They Look at the Fanart at the end. Though they only Show a Portion of the Art in the YouTube Video)

So I would recommend them as Long as you don't mind some Character appearance Spoilers that might be in the Fanart. But yea it's cool to also Look at the Fanart and so thats why I can recommend them even though they haven't finished all of the Games yet.

But there are other Letsplays who finished all of the Games already. Just Pick one that you vibe with then. But be aware that a letsplay may change your opinion (positive or negative) on a Game, as when you yourself Play it

So while I implore you to Play the Games for yourself I understand that it May Not be an Option for you.

So Go forth and experience the World of Ace Attorney. Wichever way that May be. Have fun!!!

Okay sooo

I want to get into the ace attorney fandom right

BUT THE GAMES ARE EXPENSIVE AS SHIT AND IM BROKE SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THE PLOT OF THIS THING I BEG

[orcelito]

ok now im just thinking about earlier fire emblem games in general. i want to replay echoes, awakening, fates, dlkfjsldkfjsdlkfj and i dont have time for this. but ngl those games have smth that 3 houses really doesnt have & i miss it

[gaming-with-aisy]

[clownkiwi]

say whatever you will about yuzus shutdown (id personally recommend other switch emus that have worked better for me than yuzu), but losing citra is a massive blow

the 3ds isnt on the market anymore. theres no way buying a new 3ds would support nintendo, as theyve been cutting off eshop & soon online access to their services. 3ds games arent backwards compatible with the switch, & theres barely any 3ds exclusives available on switch. and its not like nintendo hasnt made a profit while the 3ds was on sale (the consoles alone profitted nintendo around $14bil usd, thats not even including software sales)

i say all of this because citra was the biggest & most compatible 3ds emulator at this point. there hasnt been any emulator released since citra that worked as well or supported so many games (below was from the gaming wiki)

citra getting shut down, active development stopped & having its main sources taken down is awful. but what should i expect from a company that bankrupted a whole family because they held a rom website

whats the reason for this. whats the Actual reason for shutting down one of the biggest switch & 3ds emulators

The ones that suffer the most

I wanted to talk about this for a long time.

I’m a Resident evil addicted, I finished almost every RE game released and I must say that Capcom made some poor choices regarding Jill and Chris, they are EASILY the most mistreated characters in RE Franchise. 

But let’s explain why is that: 

Jill and Chris are survivors, they had to survive in a mansion with a lot of puzzles and zombies, while looking for items that could help them to progress and find a way to reach Brad. 

When they arrive at STARS Office, they are revolted that Umbrella did all that under their noses and innocents were dying because of that and they explained EVERYTHING in a report - but Irons made that go away. 

In the ORIGINAL RE3 we had this special file (Jill’s Diary) 

August 7th Two weeks have passed since that day. My wounds have been healed, but I just can't forget it. For most people, it's history now. But for me, whenever I close my eyes, it all comes back clearly. Zombies eating people's flesh and the screams of my teammates dying. No, the wounds in my heart are not healed yet...

August 13th Chris has been causing a lot of trouble recently. What's with him? He seldom talks to the other police members and is constantly irritated. The other day, he punched Elran of the Boy's Crime department just for accidentally splashing Chris's face with coffee. I immediately stopped Chris, but when he saw me he just gave me a wink and walked away. I wonder what happened to him...

August 15th Midnight. Chris, who has been on a leave of absence for a "vacation," called me so I visited his apartment. As soon as I walked into his room, he showed me a couple of pieces of paper. They were part of a virus research report entitled as simply as "G". Then Chris told me that, "The nightmare still continues." He went on to say that, "It's not over yet." Ever since that day, he has been fighting all by himself without rest, without even telling me.

August 24th Chris left the town today to go to Europe. Barry told me that he would send his family to Canada and then he would follow Chris. I decided to remain in Raccoon City for a while because I know that the research facility in this city will be very important to this entire case. In a month or so, I'll be joining with them somewhere in Europe. That's when my real battle begins...

For some weird reason this file isn’t available in RE3 Remake. 

But ok, here we see that Chris was doing some investigation - in the RE2RMK  you could see this letter that Chris left in a way that normal people wouldn't understand - the only thing that Claire says is that “doesnt look like him” but how normies would understand what Chris is like is he is not well represented in media ??????????????????

And Jill had all the detective work in her wall. 

So far so good - we understand the basics about them - they are Special police force, the elite, they had a traumatic experience and they survived to tell the story. 

Some problems until now:

Jill had a MAJOR personality change in RE3 RMK- I honestly like most of that, she is a badass in the originals and she is a badass in the rmk but I still dislike the fact that she swears all the time (specially because in RE1, RE Rev, RE5 she doesn't do that) 

We can tell a lot about her personality just looking at her room, but I still miss some stuff (I had expectations - so this is not a real problem. but still) like a Vinyl player (since she is probably into classical music), some letters from her father so new players can understand her origin and why is she so good in lockpicking and more about her dog (she had a pic in the original that could’ve been her boyfriend but it was replaced by a dog in RE2 rmk but in RE3 Rmk there in no dog) 

Okay - after you finish the game the only thing we see is this: 

In my opinion this is Chris since he is always associated with Green colors while Jill is associated with blue. 

So my speculation here is that she found him while in the original we had this: 

This is not a major chance but still is important (lore of course - duh) but the problem here is that while Jill is looking for him - Code Veronica is happening. 

So I can only assume two things, they did not show him because they DON’T HAVE A FACE FOR HIM or I am wrong and that is Jill, but if that is Jill so why there is no decent epilogue like the original ? 

Okay, now we are arriving in the real trouble area

I will do RE5 first and the Wii and Rev1 (even tho those two comes first in the lore) 

RESIDENT EVIL 5 

So before the game was release we had some propaganda, including this: 

So have in mind that Jill was dead, I thought that she died and RE5 would explain that shit. 

But in the beginning we see that Chris is looking for her and have in mind that Chris HAD A MAJOR CHANCE IN HIS APPEARANCE, and I’m not talking about his muscles. 

I will not address Chris in CV since he was good in that game but I the team that made CV also made the original, it had CONSISTENCE. 

Here we have Chris, he’s THE classical american soldier protagonist from Hollywood in the 80′s/90′s and he had some omage to TOPGUN

He also shares some traits with his sister

A major trait here is that HE HAS BLUE EYES, typical good looking soldier from US. 

and now let’s have a look at Chris in RE5...

Yeah... I still hate this face even tho I love his Character in this game, this ugly a** monkey looking mf and he had a lot of steroids

So we have some lore to him in RE5, Jill and Chris went to a mansion looking for Spencer (one of the fathers of Umbrella and the one that was behind project Wesker, he wanted to do this Virus so he could live forever, so RE has a good lore, it’s not just about zombies) but when they found him, he was dead and Wesker was by his side, in a fight Jill sacrificed herself to save Chris’s life. 

Chris started doing mission after mission because her body was never found, and he made a name for himself, he became a ‘legend’ inside BSAA and you can see that in the beginning of RE5.

The reason behind the muscles was probably to fight Wesker mano to mano but still is not well made, it really felt weird playing for the first time. 

So now we have a problem here, there is thing that you use in a narrative that is to make someone strong af powerless, and they did that to Jill. (a good example of this is in TWD- Ricky is a fucking legend and Negan made him powerless in the face of a event) 

Jill was used in a Boss fight and that is it... She is not in the game as a character, she is being manipulated and her whole design was changed, she looks like Nina from Tekken. WTF. - BTW, the fact that Wesker had mind control over her created 1000 fics of sex 

 So that is it, my main problem here isnt Jill itself, but it’s the fact that they used her character as a boss even tho she is the heroine, she never appears in RE lore again until some guy inside Capcom said “Well people are asking about Jill so let’s place a file in Rev2 saying that she is in rehab” 

The only time that she appears again is in a 3DS NINTENDO ONLY game, it felt that Capcom simply don’t care about her character. 

By the way Revelations 1 is a great game and was adaptable some years later for PC and consoles

But you think that this is bad, wait until we arrive at RESIDENT EVIL 6 

When I learned that Jill was not in RE6 I was mad... But after I played that game I said “thank you God” that game was bad, transformers kind of bad, it had bad writing, the lore was all over the place and Chris was the one that suffered the most in this game. 

He was responsible for the death of an entire squad, suffered amnesia and people still wanted him in the command 

THEY MADE HIM AN ALCOHOLIC 

The golden boy of BSAA reduced to THIS. 

By the way, the director said that HE WANTED TO KILL CHRIS IN THIS GAME to SUBVERT EXPECTATIONS - so if you liked Piers now that he died only because of that. 

So now let’s analyse what we know: 

The first 2 main characters are not well represented in media until RE6, they don’t know how to re introduce Jill in the games and Chris was reduced to a normal guy at a Russian bar;

But it gets worse... 

Capcom LOVE Leon, we know that. he is always the hero, he is the protagonist in almost every movie and he is always the cool guy so when he get’s a new model, he looks like this:

But When Chris get’s a new face he look like this: 

WHO DAFUQ ARE U, no offense to the model but he has NEGATIVE JAW LINE.

And still he doesn't look like Claire’s brother, there is no blue/green eyes and he looks younger that he was in 6 (and 6 still uses that ugly character model) 

But let’s go in the lore- we HAVE 0 info on Jill in RE6 / RE7 and no sight of her in RE8 

And speaking of which, they tried to make Chris the bad guy in the trailer so when we play we see “Ohhhh he was not the bad guy, that happened and that is why he did that” 

But still... 

If they are going to do that to his character don’t use this character, shit ! Do something with that Wesker’s son that made 0 sense in RE6 but leave Chris out of this - it really feels that they simply don’t know how to treat him right

And you may think that I may be complaining a lot because of his appearance

But this is him in RE8  

(to me this is some random dude from Russia) 

And this is him in RE:Verse (that is going to be release TOGETHER) 

So this tells me that they have 0 clue of how to handle his looks

Jill got RE3Rmk but it felt like a cheap game compared to RE2Rmk where the original RE3 was SO MUCH BETTER

And this is bad because there are so many new fans joining the fandom only to see 2 great characters suffering from poor director’s choices. 

I’m sorry about this rant, if you like Chris face and looks its okay, really, but dont tell me that Chris from 5/6/8 is the same from 1/CV and if you think im wrong about Jill its fine, but she is an amazing character that could have so much more impact in RE universe (I mean, she never even appeared in a RE movie - animations) 

But it’s sad to see so many characters that receive good representation in media and good games/lore while Jill get’s almost none and Chris is handled like random face guy. 

I was going to talk a little bit more about Rev 1 and RE Umbrella Chronicles but there is no need since Im mad right now and it seems that Capcom has 0 interest in making Code Veronica and Umbrella’s fall after that since their fav boy Leon need a rmk in RE4 even tho RE4 is not that old. 

Bonus:

Fun fact: Chris served in the Air force, so yeah, to me even Tom Cruise looks more like Chris than Chris from the games

Hampsterdance hyperfixation?

ok ok i know me being fixated on a song about dancing hampsters is very strange but theres actually a ton of underground lore about hampsterdance thats been obscured for decades due to hampsterdance (the brand/band) tanking in popularity after its one hit wonder single in 2000

[ID: a doodle of a person with short hair, looking very excited, with a thought bubble containing the word "Hampter" over their head. end ID]

1. this is probably more well known thanks to this video and also due to me talking about it with random strangers all the time but hampsterdance had a straight-to-dvd movie called "how the hampster's saved winter" that's a piece of lost media (which isn't a new thing for this franchise) due to barely anybody ordering it off the website. the only reason we know it exists it thanks to an article from 2019 of someone interviewing the guys who own the hampsterdance brand (yes, brand!!) and web archives of the website (and the dead purchase link on it.) as well as screencaps from a now dead flash game (which i have saved thankfully pre flash dying) which includes a ferret which is just making me want to find it even more, even if it's just a shitty christmas movie

2. i'm gonna follow up on the hampsterdance movie kind of by explaining what i mean by brand. it's well known info (and if you dont know this thats ok) that the original website was made by an art student named deidre lacarte in 98 in a competition with her friend and sister to make a site with the most web traffic. well, after the hit single "hampsterdance", in around 2002ish? the trademark to it was bought by abatis inc. who still currently holds the trademark. and also they're the ones behind this fucking 3d redesign of the main 4 (i blame alvin for this one personally :/)

[ID: a set of two images. the first image contains a 2D drawing of a yellow hamster with a bowtie, a brown hamster with a cowboy hat, a grey hamster and an orange hamster. the second image contains a 3D rendered version of the four hamsters with names beside them, as well as instruments. a brown hamster with a cowboy hat named Dixie, holding a guitar, an orange hamster with goggles named Fuzzy with a pair of drums, a yellow hamster with a bowtie named Hampton with a guitar, and a grey hamster with a yin and yang symbol named Hado with an electric keyboard. she also has a flower on her ear. end ID]

like.. i love their current designs now despite how Interesting they look, but what we had already was perfect.

3. there's actually a niche community of hampsterdance fans and there has been for decades! there's an official forum that exists and that's still active (last i checked a few months ago) if you wanna make an account on it good luck getting it approved, it took my account a good year i think :(. so i guess my hampsterdance fixation isnt that strange even if it's mainly focusing on the backstory of this entire franchise vs the actual characters themselves (id probably fixate on the characters if i actually got my hands on that damn movie)

4. hampsterdance has actually made songs outside of its one hit wonder. it has a few albums also!! you can find some of the songs on youtube as well as some of the other music videos ;)

5. official merchandising of the hampsters exists, and yes, im qualifying that as lost media. this includes shirts, rubber bands, and lollipops strangely enough. also plushies of the main cast (unfortunately in the reboot style). also a mug i regret not buying when i saw it for 20 bucks on ebay </3

[ID: an image of four pairs of red lollipops, each with the face of the hampsterdance cast on them. in order: an orange hamster with goggles and some necklaces, a yellow hamster with a bowtie, a grey hamster with flowers beside her ear, and a brown hamster with a cowboy hat on her head. end ID]

6. hampton (the main hampster, the guy with the bowtie, the man who started it all) was named after deidre's hamster who had the same name. he was featured a few times on the website after it went through a few updates (aka going from literal gif hell to an actual website with things to do on it).

thank you mr hampton for inspiring millions of people by existing. and also promoting hamster care for two decades. youve done a lot for us (actual image of him below)

[ID: a small, low quality image of a real life hamster in a cage. the cage has a pink bottom. the hamster is orange with a white belly. end ID]

7. i bet you're curious why hampsterdance is spelled with a p. well, according to hampton hampster (fictional), he named himself that because unlike hamsters (without a p), he was no ordinary hamster. in actuality this was probably a misspelling of hamster that just ended up sticking, but i do think that little in universe explanation is very cute.

i could go on but this post is long enough as is. i highly recommend going on the wayback machine through all the hampsterdance urls (hampsterdance.com, hampsterdance2.com) if you're really curious about how hampsterdance (the website) has changed so much. or you could ask me 😏😏😏

slakingismydad actually found what i think was the game!! if anyone cared ahghdhg

this actually is an old version of shyfoox's dragon life! i think the realest confirmation i could get would be if i asked shyfoox but after figuring out that the creator might be her. well, i doubt im gonna get the time of day from someone like that lol, and she probably gets people asking about her old stuff a lot so im not gonna add onto that :p

its very different from what i remember but i mean, the dragon models are exactly what i remember them looking like! the colors arent the exact same, and theres less dragon kinds, but again, this is definitely an updated version of the game i knew lol

the terrain is the exact kind i remember! theres even that one terrain thats literally like a brick pathway that i had the vaguest memories of but when i saw it i was like. oh thats it!! the map isnt the same but that terrain, i cant mistake it.

also once i saw that the dark dragons were called dawn dragons, a few things came back to me lol. i think i did know about wof by then, because i think i remember comparing the dawn dragons to the nightwings. also, i think i probably changed dawn to dark in my notes because it felt weird that there was 'light' dragons but the dark ones are called something else, yknow?

i dont remember the electric ones but i couldve either not included them, or they were only added later

and my biggest piece of evidence: i literally left a vote on the game! on roblox you can like or dislike games, and i apparently left a dislike XD sorry shyfoox, younger me didnt like it i guess lol. playing it now, i love it though!

heres 2 screenshots btw. i love it! look at that! i didnt have an exact image in my head of the dragon models, but seeing them. thats them! the eyes, the horns, the textures! like the SC says, this is a toxic dragon, and i was right about it being bright purple lol

also, theres a gamepass area! it has robot dragons (maybe thats where i got metal?), nature dragons, babies (in all the versions you see on the name list)(maybe thats where i got plushies from?), and sea dragons! sadly i cant see what they look like because the gamepasses are 400 robux each and i have... 8 robux. im not gonna spend 20 dollars to get like 1600 robux just to spend it all on this game, though the idea is tempting just to see if the gamepass ones look how i remember as well

also the 'season dragon' is a bright blue new years dragon, i dont remember that at all, so likely also part of updates after i stopped playing!

i genuinely thought i would never find what i was looking for, and i swear ive thought about this on and off for literally like, the whole time since i played it. im so happy about this information :]

for some reason the game automatically bald-ifies my character, and the recent roblox updates to players characters made it so my characters making a blank face, but hes supposed to be smiling :p

its cool that its not fully gone, but its also cool that it does live on in the modern (and very popular O_O) dragons life, not to mention the other shyfoox studio roleplaying games! i dont personally play them very much, but they are super great and obviously very well made!

i think this is a nice conclusion to a years long mystery for me. i dont have every answer, and i probably never will, but im fine with that! im pretty satisfied with the answers that i do have, and what there is to show for it :p

what is this old thing you cant remember. a roblox dragon game ?

yeah i guess i should try and mention it here shouldnt i lol

preface that i dont think the game is going to be up anymore, but itd be so cool if it was! so, i approximate that it was sometime during 2014-2017 that i played this game. first off, it was a roleplaying game. it had the typical blocky-ish character models of the time, the generic terrain of the time (if you know, you know. i dont even know if those tools are still available in roblox game maker? probably are) and it even had a physical morph room with buttons you step on like roblox rp games tended to have (i think most rp games nowadays dont do that anymore?)

i have to say that this wasnt a wings of fire or wof fantribe game as far as im aware. it was similar in that the dragons were in different 'tribes' that were themed, but thats about as far as the similarities go, aside from them also having themed areas on the map to live in. yknow, snow area for ice dragons, dark rock volcano for fire dragons, etc.

now, an important thing is that i still have the list of the different dragon kinds! i wrote them down when i played it because i loved the idea of the game and i wanted to draw them and write about them and i genuinely dont know if i knew about wings of fire at this point or not. i also have descriptions, but those are less accurate because i dont know how much i changed the descriptions for my own reasons or not. i could say them if people wanted, but again, not the most accurate.

so heres the list of the dragon kinds. i want to believe i didnt add any, but i know for sure i didnt get rid of any.

fire

ice

dark

light

toxic (i want to say these ones were bright purple and bright green)

sand

rock

earth

pastel

cloud (i want to say these ones had bright blue glowing lines on their bodies/horns?)

ocean (notable trait i remember about these ones: they didnt have back legs! just a tail like a fish)

nature

plushie (i remember these ones were about as big as the other dragons heads, and only looked like other kinds, i believe only fire, ice, dark, light, and maybe one more?)

skeletal

metal

also for some reason their wing membranes were typically different colors from their bodies, and i wanna say they were usually bright/saturated colors. not the most important detail, but it was enough that i wrote it down when i was younger

i also believe that a few of them were behind whats known as a VIP area, AKA if people paid robux to the creator either for a badge, or some other way, and got access to a special room with special morphs. i want to say that the skeletal, plushie, maybe ocean and maybe pastel? were in there, but this is also if the game had a VIP room at all.

ive done several searches both on google and roblox itself to try and find this game, but nothing i saw was it or even very close. also, the roblox search function kinda sucks and most of the results are completely irrelevant games anyway.

i know for a fact its not role-play as a dragon by cutemooshi, and i know its not dragon life by shyfoox studios however i do wonder if maybe it was an old or early version of dragon life, but i doubt it. i wish i could ask the staff of shyfoox studios (is it just the one person?) but i dont know how i would lol

also note: i could swear during the tail end of my time playing it that the creator changed it kinda drastically? the issue is that i dont remember any changes because i stopped playing soon after, mainly because i didnt like the changes.
