[fuck-customers]

every person put into a management position should be forced to play the most patronizing video game tutorial that says shit like

"a ★Business★ is run by performing ★Tasks★. You can delegate ★Tasks★ to an ★Employee★, but watch out! Tasks require ★Time★, and each Employee cannot do more than one (1) Task at once. If you assign an employee a new Task, they will have to pause whatever Task they were doing before that, and come back to it later. Keep in mind that an Employee only has a certain amount of Time in a shift, so you should delegate your Tasks wisely in order to keep your Business running smoothly! :)"

Still not sure they're capable of grasping the idea but it would be cathartic to watch

I keep getting ads for "woobles" crochet for beginners. Little animal plushie things. As someone who knows about knitting, how legit/useful do those look to you. I'm both tempted, annoyed by the repetitive ads, and wary of bad overhyped products that won't actually work for a complete novice.

--

Funny you should ask! I have the dinosaur one sitting next to me right now. I haven't cracked it open yet, but I'm hoping it will kickstart my relearning of crochet.

The reason I bought it was that I was at my local yarn shop, and I overheard one of the employees telling someone that she was skeptical since she's already a good crocheter and they're kind of pricey, but then she tried one of the kits and was impressed by the instructions. She recommended them both for novices and more experienced people.

Now, was she right? IDK. But it's the kind of indie yarn shop where the employees are fiber arts nerds and don't need to shill for whatever crap sponsored a youtube video.

[Side note: Has anybody tried those subscription boxes that just sponsored last week's episode of EVERY SINGLE FIBER ARTS YOUTUBE CHANNEL? Are they as bad as all other subscription boxes?]

I do keep seeing Woobles everywhere, which always sets off my overhype alarm bells, but the fact that the price point is obnoxious is actually a plus here, to me: it means the thing they're doing is charging too much for something basic rather than passing off hot garbage as something basic. At least, that's my read on it.

I guess I should open this thing up and have a look.

Well, it's definitely supposed to be for total beginners.

The contents are what you'd expect: some yarn in the colors you see on the front, stuffing, a hook, and a packet of the little stuff and the instructions. They've included 3 safety eyes. The darning needle is good quality. That adorable sticker sealing the little packet is a cute bonus.

The yarn is okay. I'm sure it's appropriate for this kind of project. It feels all right on my hands but not great.

The instructions are a little card with Fred on one side and a URL and password on the other.

I was wondering what they meant by "already started". Turns out, this little thing was tucked up inside the green skein.

According to the yarn store person, the good bit is the video tutorials. I'll have to see what I think.

Hi hello! So I saw your video about book binding and I wanted to offer a tip for people looking to try it out if that’s ok. So I’m working on binding a book right now and am following a YouTube tutorial. I’ve found most of the process pretty straight forward and relatively easy except for one step. The step where you cut the edge of the text block so that it’s all nice and even after you sew the signatures together. It sounds easy in theory but in practice I find it much harder so I found a solution. Instead of trying to even out the terrible job I did on cutting the pages I called my local staples and they said they’d be happy to give the edge of the text block a neat straight cut using their industrial paper cutter if I bring it by. I’m not sure if every staples would be up for this or have an industrial paper cutter but I figured it might be worth a shot if anyone else struggles with this step of the process. Will update with costs and results when I return from staples in a couple hours.

Staples update: it cost $8 CAD to get the edges of my text block trimmed it would’ve only been like $3 but then I would’ve need to wait a day to pick it up and I need to finish the project today so I had to pay extra for a rush order. Other than that though they did a fabulous job!! It’s so crispy and neat now I am in love with it. I would probably do it again but I would plan better so I don’t need to pay for a rush order lol

Good tip, anon! I've also done that, because trimming text blocks sucks tremendously and it's surprisingly hard to do well.

I will point out that you're likelier to have luck getting someone to do this at a local print shop as opposed to a franchise like Staples. Local shops are usually more able to give you a random price for a weird job, and sometimes the franchises wind up with cashiers that go "I don't have a button on the register for that so we can't do it," even though nobody's going to inventory how many chops the commercial guillotine did and I will hand you ten dollars cash money to go chop my text block. Most print shops will indeed have an industrial cutter, because almost any print shop is going to offer printing services that include full-bleed orders, which means trimming.

Anyway. Go local, and if there's any flexibility to the spine of your text block, make sure that the employee doing the chopping knows exactly how it needs to be positioned during cutting. And also give them registration marks to trim to.

Good news about google drive: many people do not know what it is or how to use it. I work with a lot of people like this. They have been working for a long time and they are brilliant- just not great with technology.

Google drive is cloud storage. If you have ever saved files to your computer, moved them from the default downloads folder, and renamed them, then you have the basic idea of how to work google drive. The big difference is that files on your computer are stored on Your Harddrive inside your computer and that files saved to google drive or any cloud-based storage option are stored remotely on a bank of servers Somewhere Else. But in theory even if something happens to your computer, your files on google drive are perfectly fine.

Also you can access them from anywhere.

The thing that people in businesses like google drive for (aside from being able to work on files from anywhere) is that you can share files with other people while still maintaining ownership of the file.

You can decide what level of permission people have. So you can let people view a file, or comment, or edit it.

Dont give other people manager access to your files. Your drive is like your personal filing cabinet. Nobody else needs a key to your filing cabinet but you.

If you need to use a "shared" drive its just the digital equivalent of a filing cabinet everyone has access to. Multiple people can have keys and get in - even if you arent the one letting them in.

We use shared drives at work so that multiple employees can upload, rename, and delete files, and so that they can add data to the documents inside without making a whole new copy.

Anyway i hope i dont sound super condescending- i just have a lot of experience with it and those explainations have helped a few folks at work understand.

If you have use google docs and google sheets, those are just google's version of a word processor and a spreadsheet/accounting software. So microsoft word and microsoft excel.

Google actually has some courses that can walk you through some of the functionality and there are definitely some video tutorials on youtube if thats more your thing.

Hopefully that helps?

Anyway my original point was: dont even worry about not knowing how to use google drive or what it is. You're definitely not the only one and if you are so inclined, there are thinga that can help you learn.

Can I have it on my phone though? Because I genuinely don't own a computer at the moment...

I am trying to learn french on my own. Do you know any good tv shows or movies in French? (with subtitles or without) I like comedies :)

So, uh. I went maybe a little bit overboard. I just spent an hour on these recs. But the good news is the french films I watched are almost exclusively comedies, so you’ll only get that. (I’ll add here that if you want to chat with someone either in French or about any of these recs (or both) my DMs are wide open)

Films (exclusively French classics):

Louis de Funès : La Soupe aux Choux (personal favorite, I’ve watched it so many times), L’Aile ou la Cuisse, Rabbi Jacob, Le Grand Restaurant… (they’re all very good, I recommend you see the others, they’re mostly classics)

Les Nuls/Alain Chabat : La Cité de la Peur, Asterix et Obélix Mission Cleopatre (2002)… (these two are the most iconic)

Jean Dujardin : The Artist, OSS 117 (Le Caire, Nid d’espion (1) Rio ne répond plus (2). Apparently the 3rd one is a little less good)

Other : La Chèvre, Le Grand Blond avec une chaussure noire, le Père Noël est une ordure, le Dîner de Cons (and truly so many others)

Series:

Kaamelott (never saw it but I know it’s good)

Webseries, if you’re into this:

La Flander’s Company : follows the employees of a company leasing supervillains. 5 seasons, the first one doesn’t seem to add much but it’s important world building. And fun. About 10h total? Automatic subtitles and translation seem to be accurate

Noob : follows the Noob guild in the MMORPG Horizon. It’s exactly what you think it is, it’s gorgeous. 11 seasons, 22h. The progression in production is phenomenal

Le visiteur du futur : self explanatory. A good summary would be: « Regarde ces vidéos ! Sinon, voilà ce qui va se passer ! » 4 seasons, 1 film. I have not seen the film but I heard it’s good. Also much shorter than the others. And it has subtitles!

Questions cône : 2 seasons (should be under 10 hours), +1 that comes out haphazardly. I suggest you only watch the first 2 seasons. Not because the 3rd isn’t good but because it’s a completely new narrative arc and it’s far from being done.

I’ll explain this one a little because I just binged it (again) and I think it can be easy to abandon it because of a certain character (I love him but he begins with 0 redeeming quality) and the humor that can get at times super fucking weird and/or immature (but this what happens when you make videos in the 2010’s).

Anyway, now that I’ve talked about the cons, this series begins as filmmaking tutorials, basically. The story gets weaved into it, in part as an example for the concepts we learn. Let’s keep it spoiler free and just say that the concepts explored are super interesting, and the worldbuilding is imo done extremely well, as it works as a subversion of the "tutorial" genre (and generally of the 2010’s french youtube).

I think you should at least reach ep 13 before deciding whether to drop the series.

Tldr: I love it and I need people to talk about it with because I am going mad, but no pressure. If it’s not for you it’s not for you and it’s fully understandable.

Also, there are some videos in this playlist that do not strictly belong to the series (and even some that have 0 link, except the apparitions of some of the characters). You don’t have to watch them to fully appreciate whatever is going on, but it’s additional character interaction in a framework different from the series.

Return AU, Chapter 1, part 1 (warning for blood):

The lights were on.

Plaster littered the floor in dusty chunks, ceiling panels fallen from their places to expose wiring and pipes, the very front doors having to be picked open. It was abandoned, clearly so, for a whole decade, and yet the lights were still on.

She put a hand on her holster, and scanned every square inch of unlocked space in the front area.

Past the turnstiles, she found nothing but a locked shutter, a big blue light in the shape of a hand being the only indication of a locking mechanism.

The little store was empty, boxes emptied and shelves tipped over. A lone dismantled Boogie Bot sat on the counter in a splatter of reddish brown goo. The train circling the rail overhead was still running; at the back of her mind, she admired how the company's product was still functional years down the line, but at the moment it was just uncanny.

But, nobody was there, so she let her shoulders fall with just a little hesitation. Ransacked by edgelords as it was, it didn't look inhabited at all.

Sam went to check the door opposite of it, only to find it locked behind a colorful keypad.

CMYK? No.

Huggy colors? No.

... Train colors?

A chime sounded, and the doors slid open. She smiled to herself, a pinch smug. She wondered how many guests put the pieces together and just wandered into the employee area unsupervised. Did they have to repaint the train every time they changed the code?

For the most part, it looked like a regular security room; monitors lined the one wall, and chairs and desks filled much of the rest of the space. The recess in the wall with the ropes and pipes in it, and the TV with the VCR on the cart, were all interesting, but first, she made sure to check the desks.

This search yielded very little. A lot of old, dried out stationary, as well as hand-written reports of minor incidents and a drawer full of crumpled up employee complaint forms. The latter were at least a little interesting; at least in its last few months, the company was basically hemorrhaging employees. Complaints about having little time to sleep between shifts, not being paid overtime despite working well beyond full time hours, intimidation from higher ups, etc. contrasted heavily with the aggressively friendly image they portrayed.

She set her duffel bag down, and took out a simple plastic folder. Nothing special, just enough to keep things organized until she'd pick them up later. This room wasn't too humid or exposed to the elements, so she felt comfortable leading the documents there for now to be collected later while she was on her way out. Low priority, though.

As soon as she finished her task, Sam took the blue tape off the one desk, checked to see if it was wound (it was, good), and slid it into the VCR.

Dreamy music filled the room, and some animal part of her brain immediately raised its hackles. A memory, foggy and intense, overtook her, and her eyes immediately swept around the room, like every shadow had a predator waiting to leap out at her. She breathed in deeply from her nose.

In, out.

In, out.

In.... out.

And in a second, it faded into a dull sense of unease.

Before she knew it, the video unloaded a short tutorial on the GrabPack. She chuckled hesitantly at the part where the yellow stickman coworker got his head taken off, and remembered all at once how many employees she had seen with one of these things strapped to their backs. How was any of this approved by OSHA?

Though, given some of the complaints in the desk, she suspected the inspectors got paid off.

Looking back at her duffel bag, and taking a good look at the ceiling, she decided against setting up her tent for now. There weren't enough holes to worry about rain, the temperature was on the warmer side this time of year, and her cargo pants and utility coat were loaded with enough emergency supplies to last her a couple days before she needed to return to the van for more. For now, she had what she needed to go further in.

Using the GrabPack felt almost second nature to her, like picking up a bike again after a long time of disuse. Which was damn weird because last time she was anywhere near this place, she was a kid, and these things were dangerous in the wrong hands.

Thoughts of child safety violations quickly left her mind when she entered the grand hall. It was huge, just as she remembered it, and at the very center a towering Huggy Wuggy statue. In the bright moonlight, she could see the fur faintly moving.

Breathing.

Memories of giant toys come to life flooded her mind, and she had to take a step out and do yet more breathing exercises to come down. It was probably just a draft from the windows.

She forcibly perked up, and jogged right back into the room. Yeah... yeah! Just a draft. Just... don't think too hard on it.

Her eyes only barely grazed the plaque before the giant toy - it wasn't anything she didn't already know how popular this giant Sour Patch Kid was, given they were still selling bootleg Wuggies at the flea market - as she investigated the rest of the room. She tried her picks on the regular doors first, to little success. At least, not without heavier machinery; Sam left her power drill at home, so she'd have to save investigating those portions of the facility for a later date. Damn.

Finally, she tried the door with the one handprint, only for it to go black and give a concerning sound at the contact, a spark traveling down the wire to the next room over, labelled "POWER."

Jingle.

She turned on her heel, and saw... nothing. No other human being in the room. She almost sighed in relief, until she spotted a glint of gold in Huggy's raised hand.

A key that wasn't there before.

Fuck. He was alive. Or haunted, either or.

Hesitantly, she aimed her GrabPack for the key and snatched it out of his hand, watching as he didn't even flinch at the contact by the dangerous tool.

She almost proceeded to the Power room, but stopped herself.

How long has he been standing in that one spot, alone?

As terrifying as it was to stand in the same room as a nearly twenty foot living statue... he wasn't doing anything yet, and it felt kinda rude not to offer up something in return for his help.

Indulging her inner superstitious child, she took a bag of jerky out from one of her pockets - the nice homemade kind from the dried snacks stand at the same market as the bootleg toys - a napkin, and a bottle of water. Noting his lack of fingers, she laid out the napkin like a makeshift plate on one of the letter blocks, poured out an ample portion of jerky onto it, and left the bottle of water opened off to the side for him to take.

Stepping out a fair distance, she gave him a deep bow, and said sincerely, "Thank you for the key."

She felt silly talking to a statue that was only maybe alive, but hey, if she was wrong, no harm done.

Satisfied with her work, she continued off to fix the door.

...

There was more of the brownish red stains in this room, this time around the remains of a Bron toy. Narrowing her eyes, she took out her blacklight, and it lit up like a Christmas tree. There was a fair chance it was some kind of biological material, but blood wasn't the only thing that lit up under UV light; it could just as easily have been some kind of dried detergent or something containing lemon juice, for all she knew. She snapped a photo with her disposable camera, and put a pin on that thought. Whatever it was, it probably did not belong in a plastic kids' toy. She figured she'd pick it up on her second sweep of the facility and see if one of her classmates in Forensics could do a swab test.

She moved on to investigating the rest of the room; it almost resembled a locker room, except they held circuit breakers instead of shoes. Off to the side, a well lit poster hanged. Sam snapped a photo of that too, chuckling at the one rule.

A fuzzy memory tickled the edge of her brain. She was small again, angry and defiant with adults who acted like they hated her because they probably did. She was a bit of a turd as a kid, so she didn't totally blame them.

She was hiding for some reason. Looking for a way out, she thought. But the only doors going forward were locked, and so, she waited to get caught. In her stubbornness, she refused to come out and go peacefully, but instead give the workers a good sweat looking for her.

A man passed by the door she hid behind, and seeing the opportunity, she jumped out with a shout. The bastard nearly leapt out of his skin, dropping the clipboard in his hand as he gasped and nearly fell. His assistant, some mousey young nerd, squeaked and tripped over her own feet.

"God-damn it, kid!" he yelled, hand on his chest, "You nearly gave me a freaking heart attack!"

She was too busy laughing at his beet red face to even notice getting hauled off by security.

Sam in the present chuckled at the warm memory. Was that Leith Pierre? She didn't know, it wasn't like she was an expert on the small army of faceless old men who bossed her around as a squirt.

The end of the room held more stains, and a strange message scratched onto the wall:

ISNT HE WONDERFUL?

She doubted that a bored, edgy film student could have made it this far. What in the hell was going on in here?

She snapped some more pictures, and went to work fixing the wiring. It took a good second to rip the door off the one conduit, and with great hesitance, she fired the blue hand at it. The wire lit up, and carefully, she maneuvered it to touch the three power nodes, the lights turning back on fully with the final connection. Retracting the hand, she sighed when she felt no current hit herself.

She stepped out, feeling a great sense of relief... until she saw the empty podium in the main hall.

I’ve been doing more arc planning lately and adding more side characters to the cast, so I thought I’d do a doodle sheet to introduce some of them and give you all a small taste of what’s ahead! 

Smooth Tune AKA Smoothie - Licorice Lace’s girlfriend  A harpist from Licorice’s orchestra, she is equal parts beefcake and angel. She is graceful and gorgeous, with a more cheesy and girlish side too. Many would say she is way out of Lic’s league but she still chose him and would do so a thousand times over.

Aphrodisian Foam - Fashion Model In a sort of “ugly ducking” tale, she started out as an insecure chick with unusual hybrid traits (wingless unicorn hippogriffs are hard to come by) but now she is a show-stopping model who shares her beauty with the whole world.

Tranquila - Trailblazer’s “enemy” An “influencer” by her world’s standards, she has a passion for fitness and loves sharing it with the world. She publishes her favorite workouts and daily musings in various magazines and video tutorials, focusing on strength and balance in one’s lifestyle. She does it all with a calm, chilled-out attitude, contrasting the girl known as her enemy.

Roman Candle - Trailblazer’s “best friend” A wrestling champion in high school, he is a skilled athlete who knows how to stand out. But he was also your typical douchey teenage boy, generally a dick to those he didn’t call friend and not particularly favored among the girls because of that. Hopefully he won’t stay that way forever.

Almond Meringue AKA Uncle Al - Trailblazer’s publicist  A humble old stallion from a village outside of Trottingham, he is Trailblazer’s publicist on paper but in reality he’s so much more. He keeps her schedule intact, makes sure she remembers to eat and rest, and helps her avoid embarrassing herself in public. She really keeps him on his hooftips, but they’ve grown to care about each other in a somewhat familial way which makes his job worth it.

Burr - Mudbriar’s son Somewhat like the uncle he resembles, he broke the mold set by his parents, pursuing a more extroverted career path than Mudbriar and choosing a different genre of music than his other father Feather Bangs. An idol of his little cousin Meteor Shower, he has lofty goals for his career but is enjoying the ride on the way there.

Sweetpea Soup - Manic Pixie Dream Girl Her description is pretty self explanatory: she’s quirky and free-spirited with a rebellious streak, and a strong and contagious appreciation for all life has to offer. Anyone she meets would consider themselves lucky to have known her and be left wanting for more time with her.

Painted Lady - Tea Cake’s aide Passionate about foalcare, her greatest reward is getting to nurture foals as they grow and watching their vibrant personalities bloom. But she can also be a little overbearing and intrude on what is meant to be independent play if she thinks extra care is needed (which it sometimes isn’t). The foal she works with now needs that extra care to an extent, but it’s still annoying.

Infernal Startrail - Blackfire Phoenix’s coworker In some ways she is every corporation’s dream employee with the way she thinks outside the box and has a solution to most problems she encounters. She is decisive, intelligent, and professional, but isn’t above the occasional workplace gossip to an extent. But then again, most people aren’t.

Fireball Rosso - Bullseye’s boyfriend  A talented makeup artist for any and all genders, he’s very serious about his craft. Some consider him arrogant and snooty and maybe he is just a little bit, but he’s very secure in himself and he wants others to be confident in their expression too.

Strawberry Bon Bon - Meteor Shower’s girlfriend A hopeless romantic at heart, she puts her all into her relationships with others, sometimes to her own detriment. Getting her heart broken a few times by guys who didn’t put in equal effort has left her with some trust issues, leading to insecurities that carry over into the next relationship.

Pearl Closure - Sour Peach’s girlfriend  A fashion designer who specializes in “magical girl transformations,” i.e. those extra special outfits that have two designs in one! She can make literal rags unfold into a stunning ballgown, and at the height of her career she’s very popular among celebrities who want unique costume changes. She took her time to nurture her talent before sharing it with the world so it would really be worth the wait.

Fruit Salad - School of Friendship alum She’s a party animal with a little bit of bimbo mixed in, in the sense of not always reading the room. She’s well intentioned, just not super responsible or receptive to when someone wants to be left alone.

Pearl - Miner She is the type of diamond dog that when she has her mind set on something, she will not stop until she accomplishes it. This includes things like digging really deep to get a certain gem she senses, even when she hits rock. She’s eager to meet new creatures and when she is your friend she’s very affectionate.

Juneberry - Mailmare A flirt who always has things to share like fun facts, she likes talking to others and learns a lot from all the ponies and creatures she delivers mail to. Not everyone makes a habit of talking to the pony who delivers their mail outside of small talk, but when they do it makes her day.

Veneer Smokescreen AKA Smoky - Movie theater employee With a monotone attitude, she’s the kind of pony where you just have to believe her when she says she feels a certain way because she’s not going to show you any other way. As a foal she was punished for being too childish despite being a child at the time so now she has issues expressing herself.

Hyacinth Moss - Marmalade Meringue’s wife Insecure and ashamed of her siren heritage, she is easily embarrassed by anything that even remotely makes her look bad (like Marmalade expressing a bad take in public or her kids lightly bickering). She is generally touchy and reactive and will react to any slights very passive-aggressively.

Starfruit Bouquet - Hyacinth and Marmalade’s oldest son A soccer player practically since he could walk, he has a love for the game and a love for life no matter what successes or failures come his way. He isn’t in the game to win, but loves it for the camaraderie and teamwork it comes with. Any mistakes he takes in stride as long as he has his friends by his side.

Sour Grapes - Hyacinth and Marmalade’s youngest son A spelling bee kid who will probably graduate to the debate team and then some prestigious college, he is ambitious and competitive. The game is cutthroat and so is he, albeit in a rule-abiding way. You would think he and his brother would be at odds with how different their values are, and they certainly do disagree, but not as much as their parents do. Making fun of them is one thing they can bond over.

Please let me know what you think and feel free to theorize about their roles! Which of these characters are most excited to see in the story? I can’t wait to introduce them proper, which for some should be pretty soon!

Talwyn & Clank: X-Spot

Happy Talwyn Apogee Day! Today we talk about our underrated Markazian Talwyn Apogee from the Ratchet & Clank video game series.

Today I want to post my idea for a story of spinoff game where you play as Talwyn Apogee who with the aid of Clank has to save the day after Ratchet gets injured. Long post warning.

I gave the name the title "X-Spot" cause it is about searching for an item, as well as a loose innuendo, but I have other titles for such a game like Talwyn & Clank: Vault Robber, a parody/reference to the Tomb Raider series, and “Treasured Chest” with a heart near it but we all know what it means. Heck maybe its referring to Talwyn holding a pic of a shirtless Ratchet XD.

I can see this game taking place before the events of the Lombax Dimension Game, or maybe even Rift Apart but I'm mainly writing this as its own thing. The story starts with Ratchet, Clank, Talwyn, and Qwark at a GrummelNet tech convention, as Qwark is sponsoring a new product while Talwyn is there to see if any of the gear can help the Polaris Defense Force (reminding us of that Talwyn is a captain of the PDF) and they got Ratchet and Clank access to check out all the cool stuff they are showing. Here you start the game playing as Ratchet and can explore the area kind of like those out of costume segments in the Insomniac Games Spider-Man games, till they watch a show involving GrummelNet’s latest battle machines which soon gets interrupted by thieves. The GrummelNet employees decide to use this attack to test out their new inventions but to their surprise the thieves’ leader points an odd looking device at it and soon get control over said machinery, and commands it to attack the building. Ratchet and Clank go after the new battle machine while Talwyn and Qwark (but mostly Talwyn) go take on the rest of the thieves, as we then switch to playing at Talwyn and starting the actual tutorial. While fighting these thieves, Talwyn notices that one of them has device similar to the one the leader used to hack the new GrummelNet battle machine and every time it is pointed at some tech, said tech would either malfunction or work in a way that benefits the thieves. This makes Talwyn wonder how this is possible, and it gets more curious when their tech doesn’t work on her stuff such as her jetpack or Aphelion who the thieves tried to take over but had no effect, I also could see a joke where Aphelion herself hurts the thieves as retaliation XD.

After the rest of the thieves in the area are taken care of (minus the one with the other weird looking device) Talwyn and Qwark go to help Ratchet and Clank, where they see Ratchet fight the rampaging battle machine but during the fight, the leader of the thieves points the device at Ratchet’s gear causing it to malfunction like how the targeting system is turned off so it doesn’t hit its target and turrets deployed by Ratchet start shooting at him instead, making an opening for the new battle machine to deliver and powerful punch to Ratchet. Before it can finish off Ratchet, the thief leader gets a message and tells the surviving thieves it is time to leave, as we see them fly away with a lot of stolen tech but the heroes don’t care as they go to the wounded Ratchet, where Talwyn tells someone to call an ambulance before Ratchet becomes unconscious.

We then cut to a hospital where we see the heroes worried for Ratchet till a doctor comes out saying he is fine but will need to stay there for a few days. The heroes get to visit Ratchet where we get scenes like seeing Ratchet with some bandages here and there, a funny scene of a nervous Qwark trying to keep it together and telling Ratchet he looks fine, and a Talchet moment. We then see the heroes update Ratchet about what happened after Ratchet passed out, like news clips of the galaxy worried about how dangerous these thieves are if they have the means to control other technology and defeat Ratchet of all people. It was also discovered that while the thieves stole weapons, they strangely focused on acquiring things like digging equipment and devices used to map out landscapes and caves. The heroes agree that these guys need to be stop and destroy their hacking tech and because Ratchet is still injured, Talwyn states she will go stop them with Clank aiding her. While this makes Ratchet nervous, he trusts Talwyn to be safe and that Clank will protect her. I could see a funny scene following this where Clank tries to get on Talwyn’s back like he does with Ratchet but her jetpack is in the way making it impossible and leading to an awkward moment, so Talwyn promises to take it off for next time XD.

Talwyn and Clank check out a lead which eventually leads them to finding the main villain, Dr. Zenith, a techo-archeologist which is someone who studies the tech of ancient civilizations. Talwyn actually recognizes the guy as Zenith was an intern of her father Max Apogee years ago who only cared about finding great treasures that could get him rich and make him famous but was eventually fired by her father after he was caught planning to sell some artifacts. Since then he has become a mildly successful techno-archeologist as he was able to find some decently interesting items but not enough to give him the fame or fortune he wanted, or anything that made him better then Max Apogee who he still hates. He has been doing an excavation on an planet that was forbidden to go one without permissions as it is where a big battle happened between the Lombaxes and Cragmites, and good reason too as the heroes discover Zenith found an old Cragmite weapon’s lab filled with some abandoned Cragmite tech. While exploring the Cragmite lab, the heroes discover the files for the device the thieves used earlier, called the Hack-Jamstruptor, which has the ability to either hack into technology using ancient Wi-Fi signals (or something similar to that stuff) or release a frequency that can destroy the gear found in nearly every mechanical device. This explains why Talwyn’s gear and Clank and Aphelion aren’t affected by it, as Apogee Industries gear is made out of unique parts and use unique signals while Clank’s various upgrades/Zoni DNA, and Aphelion’s Lombax/Zoni tech makes them immune to it, or maybe immune to a degree.

After doing a bit more digging, Clank finds out the Jamstruptor’s blueprints in the lab aren’t the originals as the gear in the lab and that used by Zenith’s forces were the Cragmite’s attempts to reverse engineer the device where they only got so far. This surprises the heroes as this means the original device could be out there and can possibly be more dangerous than what Zenith’s forces have now. Clank does find a set of coordinates in the files that they plan on checking out but that is when  Zenith and his forces arrive and corner the heroes, where Zenith monologues about how the Hack-Jamstruptors he found has given Zenith the idea that instead of finding old items to get a mention in history, he will use said old items to MAKE history and has decided to try and take over the galaxy and he believes the true Hack-Jamstruptor is the key to it.  Of course Talwyn and Clank escape him, and the rest of the game is a race to find the original Hack-Jamstruptor before Zenith does.

While that happens I can see there being 2 more subplots happening involving Talwyn. One being her still getting over the loss of Cronk and Zephyr since Into the Nexus didn’t really cover that as much. The latter could also help with issues with her father like how she is mad that she left without even a call telling her what is going on.

The other could be Talwyn running into an old archeology friend of her father, where maybe they state how it’s a surprise Talwyn never got a degree in archeology like her father. We would later find out that she did try getting one but a mix of Emperor Tachyon’s regulations in the field of archeology (as he used archeologist to try and find the Lombax Secret at a time before he got impatient) and depression over her father made her give up, and since then she has put her effort into other things like when she was helping Ratchet and Clank and helping protecting Polaris.

I also can see a small subplot where Clank tries to find a way to make everything immune to the Jampstruptor, which will have more importance later on.

Eventually we get a big twist where it is revealed that the original plans for the Hack-Jamstruptor was made by the LOMBAXES! In a Lombax audio file discovered in one of the places Talwyn and Clank go to, the heroes learned that the Lombaxes worked on all kinds of projects during the Great War hoping one would be able to stop the Cragmites once and for all. The Lombaxes’ Jamstruptor had a powerful female AI that aided the device in doing things like temporarily leaving the device to hack into Cragmite machinery and safely sabotaging tech, but the AI soon became unhinged and became too destructive in its methods even killing not only Cragmites that had surrendered peacefully, but also Lombaxes as a way of fulfilling its programming. The Lombaxes agreed that device was too dangerous (luckily they made it so that the AI can’t permanently leave the device) and were going to destroy it alongside the remaining blueprints on a planet the Lombaxes were using at the time to dispose of dangerous inventions, but that was when Cragmites got their hands on the remaining Jamstruptor blueprints, causing the big battle on the planet where Zenith found the Cragmite’s Jamstruptors and thus the original Jamstruptor was stored at a secured base but its implied that no one every went back there to destroy it. I also could see the file implying that after the Jamstruptor failed, the Lombax council has decided to put all their effort in making the Dimensionator. I like this as it adds some lore to the Lombaxes and again reminds us that the Lombaxes specialize in all technology instead of just dimensional travel like Rift Apart did.

Talwyn and Clank realize that the original Jamstruptor is still around and if Zenith gets his hands on it, things will be worse than they realize. It also doesn’t help that later Zenith’s forces kidnap Ratchet from the hospital, as earlier Talwyn and Clank needed Lombax DNA to get a door open (a callback to TOD and an excuse for a joke about Ratchet shedding everywhere XD) and they realize Zenith is going to use Ratchet to open the area the Jamstruptor is at, so they rush to stop Zenith and save Ratchet, which could lead to another joke since Ratchet has saved Talwyn and Clank on multiple occasions in past games. The two groups meet up at the door of the Jamstruptor which leads to a boss fight where Talwyn fights Zenith, who uses all kinds of tech he and his forces have stolen including riding a modified version of the battle machine from the beginning of the game. The boss fight ends with the machine gets destroyed, but Zenith is still determined as he is able to use some of Ratchet’s fur to open the door and gets Jamstruptor where he adds it onto a set of power armor! Zenith tries to tell the AI to help him destroy the heroes, but the AI has had enough of taking orders from others and uses its power to eject Zenith from the suit and causes a statue to fall on him resulting in his offscreen death. The AI then proceeds to try and destroy the heroes after seeing Ratchet, but after getting her butt kicked leaves and gets “reinforcements” (AKA the rest of Zenith’s tech), but Talwyn and the aid of a different device Clank and co have been working on to counter the Jamstruptor’s abilities allows Talwyn to weaken the AI and its armor enough to finally destroy it AND the Hack-Jampstruptor. We see the heroes reunite and celebrate but the thieves working for Zenith the appear to try and finish them off, but that is when the Polaris Defense Force (for the first time) appear and actually take care of the criminals.

We cut to sometime later as the heroes and a fully healed Ratchet have destroyed the last of the knock off Hack-Jamstruptor and any data related to it. We get some closure with Talwyn as this adventure did help her get over some feelings about Cronk/Zephyr and/or her father, and she has decided to try and get her doctorate in archeology again, which Ratchet and Clank are proud of.  Again if this is taking place before Rift Apart. I could see there being a moment from Ratchet saying that he is okay with getting rid of another dangerous Lombax item so it doesn’t get into the wrong hands though he doesn’t see Clank having a weird look on his face. If this is before the Lombax Dimension game, I can see the heroes saying that this adventure has made them push back their plans of going to the Lombax Dimension and/or talk about how this adventure is something they can laugh about with the Lombaxes when they meet them soon, hinting at the next game.

The gameplay would mostly be the same as in any Ratchet & Clank game, as I can see Talwyn using a lot of the same gadgets Ratchet uses. I can see a funny cutscene from this where she tries using some of the gear but its either too big or small for her, so she goes out and gets the same gadgets but her size.

The attack at the convention has made GrummelNet update their weapons (both new and old) to prevent them from being effected, but this is mainly an excuse so that older weapon could have special effects/features via the adaptive trigger. Such a thing could be done in other R&C like games as well.

I think as a nice nod to the Future saga, Talwyn’s starter weapons are the pistol she used in TOD and QFB and a bomb glove that instead of having explosive bombs shoots out smoke bombs that disorientate enemies, just like the one she used on Slag and Pete.

One gameplay mechanic I can see specifically happening in a Talwyn spinoff is that in every level, Talwyn can find bits of an artifact where it be an old painting, vase, or something with alien hieroglyphs on it, and finding all the parts of said item it tells a story about a certain alien race’s past like for example explaining why the Agorians like war

Of course there would also be some Clank levels, but I could see them having a bit of fun with them by having some levels be similar to that temple level form Size Matters, like using older looking tech and avoiding traps. There definitely should be a segment in one of them where you as Clank run away from an Indiana Jones like boulder.

What are your thoughts on this story? Would you like there to be a Talwyn Apogee spinoff game one day? What could you see happen in such a spinoff?

Remember this post about Poppy Playtime and the chance that one of those toys could potentially escape?

I FUCKING CALLED IT

Apparently Mob Games just released a Analog Horror/VHS style teaser of HUGGY WUGGY ESCAPING the factory. I suggest you guys check out the video before delving further because this gets hectic. Now from what I saw out of this video, I'm separating my evaluations from SuperHorrorBro's, I can confirm some things.

Playtime Co. does have security measures but they're clearly incompetent. Huggy may be obedient but who says it's aimed at the company? No it is not, cause if you guys check out the monster tutorial for Project Playtime then someone or something is guiding Huggy. I can imagine this is the same entity who told the big guy to escape here.

Playtime Co. clearly want to keep their secrets under wrap so desperately that they'll dispose of anyone even their employees. There is a secret VHS in Project Playtime where one defunct employee was caught and eaten by Boxy Boo as he knew too much. Check out MatPat or Game Theory for that bit.

Huggy definitely caused some damage but the most important damning thing is that he made it into an actual NEIGHBORHOOD. You see him at the end of the clip near one specific house before he was recaptured. I can theorize that the person used to make Huggy Wuggy still has their memories.

There is a part of them not consumed by feral madness and brainwashing caused by Playtime Co's experiments. Huggy could've kept hidden but chose to visit this particular house. A place that holds everything he used to have such as a family.

The fact he escaped means something like this could happen again but on a potentially bigger scale. Huggy Wuggy took out 11 people before he was captured. He is still feral as he also killed an unsuspecting moose. Not eaten, slain in a sneak attack clearly unprovoked since Huggy took a tranquilizer dart earlier.

A few employees are missing out of the 11 as well. Huggy might've ate a few and kept the rest to feed the other toys. Again, MatPat did a video on this, but there's a delicate balance involving the toys at this point of time. Before the events of the main game begins, they were working together to survive and keep Playtime Co. out.

Something big must've happened later that would not only make the company defunct but break the very balance on its head. Whatever it is, Mob Games is revving up the intensity lore wise.

Starfield & The Importance of Beginnings

SPOILER WARNING FOR STARFIELD!! DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS ON THE BEGINNING

Looks like we're good to go! Okay, so I've recently been dumping a steady amount of hours into Starfield. It's been fun, how they've evolved their character creation is fantastic, I've had a decent amount of positives. Throughout the six and a half hours I've played, there is only one thing that I have a problem with. That problem? The beginning of the game, particularly the first two hours. I understand that Bethesda games often have mediocre main storylines with characters that lack deep characterization. However, one thing about the main story that Bethesda writers usually do well is that beginning.

Skyrim is a notorious beginning. A decade after its release, the first two minutes of that game is still remembered. It is still celebrated through memes and video edits, references by other media. It does a lot of things right for an RPG! It provides just enough worldbuilding to give the actions of those surrounding you meaning, it gives you a purpose of being there without defining your backstory, and it provides an easy way to get the player from point A to point B without making the player feel dragged around. Oblivion works in a similar fashion. It doesn't work nearly as well as Skyrim's beginning, there is too much of it that relies on happenstance. However, it is still a rather solid beginning. Even Bethesda's Fallout games has some nice beginnings with Fallout 3. What matters the most with these beginnings and why they function is that, ultimately, the player feels like they're involved in what's happening. This is where I feel Starfield fails.

Starfield starts us off by putting us in the position of a miner riding an elevator down to the mines with a humorous veteran known as Heller and the stoic leader of the operation called Supervisor Lin. They seem to give you words of encouragement as you are carried down, dropping mentions of some of the more prominent factions of the Settled Systems along the way. For the next thirty minutes you're mostly following NPCs as they talk to you and order you to do tasks without much agency. This all goes until you touch the Artifact, an odd rock that is almost magical in nature. When you come into contact with it, you are almost blinded. Your vision is ejected from your body, flying through very matter itself until the whole universe is revealed to you. Then you are called back, told it was a hallucination, and provided the character customization menu through your employee file meant to remind you of who you are. After that you accompany the operations leader to hand the Artifact off to Barrett, a space explorer part of a legendary exploration group known as the Constellation. After the initial conversation and an unsuccessful raid from pirates, he invites you to join the Constellation on account of you "seeing what he's seen". He gives you his ship, his robot, and walks off.

After that, you run into some pirates, are lead to take down a pirate outpost, and the first quest ends there. That is considered your tutorial. There is a main story after that which can act as introductory quests, but the game lets you explore and accepts quests as you wish from this point. There are issues with this beginning, issues I have. First off, there's the more obvious problem of you not really being in control of what happens. There's no small choices you can make that give you that sense of agency. You are brought from story beat to story beat with no real care for investment. Even in terms of your "decision" to accept Barrett's invitation, there's no negotiation there. If you refuse, Supervisor Lin tells you that this is your purpose now and you should go along. There's not even really a way to ensure Barrett can get back home, you simply take his ship and fly off. That also runs into the issue of why Barrett would even lend you the ship.

He could fly you back and through him we could be provided important information on how the galaxy works. We could be informed what all these terms and factions being thrown at us during the tutorial and character customization even mean. What are these religions we can choose to align ourselves with? What are these places we can choose to hail from? What are the factions and how do they defer? We could've been told all this through Barrett and even have someone that could vouch for us to the Constellation. As the game is now, the Constellation accepts you immediately with no real resistance. If Barrett were to come along with us, it could provide an interesting dynamic where the Constellation is initially unsure of if you should be welcomed into their ranks. You along with the praise from Barrett could convince them to let you join, allowing the beginning to break from the "Chosen One" narrative it falls into far too readily.

I could go on about what Starfield could've done, like how being one of the Crimson Fleet Pirates taking Barrett's ship the "Frontier" would've provided an interesting hook and give you a more realistic route to get the ship and run off with it. Simply being there when Barrett was killed and escaping the planet as the mine is overrun with pirates would work much the same way and even provides minimal changes to how the story plays out in the next few hours. However that's not the point of this little rant here. The point is to showcase the flaws of the game's beginning. The game's story shows a nice amount of promise so far, being opted as an explorer gives you sufficient reason to run off and interact with the side content that often defines these Bethesda Game Studios games. However for any work the beginning is the most important. It is the first impression of your game. If that first impression is lacking in any way, the player could be made to feel like the rest of the game will follow its example. The beginning is the easiest time to lose your player and it deserves care. Starfield's beginning lacks care. It feels like it's almost treated as a second thought, which is such a travesty in a big budget game.

Video Game Idea: Transformers

NOT for players 16 and under. (Really don’t care, but must be address for legal reasons)

Mix between Skyrim and Fallout 4

Must refuel every now and again! Based on frame type chosen, player may have to refuel more often! Refueling stations are placed in certain locations throughout cities. During war, both factions have own mess hall along with fueling stations around in bases. If neutral, scanner on map will give locations of mining veins and mecha selling energon. Due to the times, it will not count against karma unless people are offlined/threatened.

Story Begins:

First day online:

No sound besides player’s character breathing. Turning around, player watches as the Well of Allsparks slowly dims to nothing. A voice calls out from behind; player turns to see random mech. Backing away slowly, they only advance faster. In response, player turns and run (Player runs a short distance, dodging through random obstacles in basic tutorial of movement). The random mech catches up, pinning player down. Player then flipped over and knocked into attempted unconsciousness. Short cut scenes play along the way (first: initial capture, second: loading player into transport of sorts, third: falling out of transport after shot down, final: silhouette of random mech (based on chosen people) kneeling over player, then reaches towards them. Screen finally goes dark) (save point)

Player wakes in hospital berth. Player handed basic medical supplies and energon to start. May explore hospital and collect more supplies by stealing if going the bad route. (Cut scene having reached the front door) Player ushered out the door. (Save point)

Player steps into crowded city. A comm is sent by boss (don’t know who yet, work in progress here) outlining player’s job based on frame type. Point on map appears to direct player to job. Once arrived, cut scene plays (player meets boss who’d commed them, who then tells the player to punch in. Once done, player character steps through the doors. (Save point)

Job done, (a week at this point) player character punches out and rushes with everyone else from the building. Player’s apt. will appear on map, but player may explore. Few menial task scattered here and there. (Cut scene) At apt., the place is trashed, a note left on table, signed by The Council along with a summons. Character doesn’t understand, becomes frightened, throws it away. Character grabs a cube of energon, slugs it back, then heads to berth. (Save point)

Different menial tasks for explorative players from apt. Return to work. (Cut scene) Stepping up to the door, it flies open, character jumps out of the way. Random npc struggles against cops for thievery crime they didn’t commit, character watches npc beaten into submission before shoving through the crowd now in the doorway during event. Player may now explore workplace. Entering a back employees only room, another npc has the stolen object and laughing about it with two others, tossing it around (will be player’s first weapon based on frame type). Character steps out from hiding, calls out npcs. Npcs gets mad, chases after player. Player must escape aggressors. Successfully escaping, player runs into the boss. Npcs skid to a stop a distance behind with stolen weapon in plain sight. Boss directs authorities alongside them to arrest the three. In turn, the weapon is now the player’s possession as a reward. Player has now unlocked weapon’s training. Does not begin until next day. Work end, return to apt. Deal with whatever, then head to berth. (Save point)

Weapons training tutorial. Point on map leads to training building. Take time to get used to weapon, but don’t be late for work. Boss will make bullslag reason to have you shifted around to the most dangerous task (Will offline, must retry day) Report as usual. Return to apt after work. (Save point)
