did my review of Atline now rather than guess my way through the entire postgame first. it's a fine game, though its lack of polish is pretty substantial cosmicspear.dreamwidth.org/28558.html

going back to Atline is reminding me of how much of a...fascinating experiment, to put it diplomatically, it was to have your primary multi-target healing ability be able to miss

unexpected flaw in my "replay Atline from the start so I remember what happened" plan: I think I've managed to miss the labyrinth gear and I can't remember where it even was

I'd completely forgotten about the Shoddy Ladder ...given I'm pretty sure I climbed this exact ladder in SEQUEL blight, I guess believing in it was the right choice after all

It's Pride Month! I'm a gay! I'm also disabled and homebound and I need help to survive. I have just enough to pay my rent for the month and not much else. Bills, medicine, supplies and necessities like food are all not covered by my benefits. 🙏💸 0/1600 ko-fi.com/jebwrench

you versus the guy she told you not to worry about

Last boost for May. Please consider giving me a little help as I navigate another injury

picked up Armored Core 3 again due to watching @mootowncow.bsky.social streaming the series this build's pretty much just what I used last time I played but I do want to try some other stuff at some point

I've adjusted my Ko-fi goal to account for both my personal debts as well as the family debt. I'm hoping to pay down what I can of my personal debts as I work hard on current projects. I talk more in detail on my blog post here: ko-fi.com/post/Goal-am...

there's been regular enemies using the same sprite before, but with this specific encounter I think I can safely say the running gag has truly been fulfilled

Payment stuff shuffled around a bit, so I am presently $30 short for a payment due by midnight. Tomorrow, it's just a $13 payment as written in the original post below. Anything helps, and extra is deeply appreciated for necessities as needed. Thank you! ;_; paypal.me/kittytama #helpsky #mutualaid

I see this game's not about to disprove my hypothesis about slime girls being inherently adorable

Boosting because part of this is for pad stuff, it's kinda urgent because running low and I'm due to bleed fairly soon--very crampy today orz I'm sorry for the TMI but I'm just very scrambled up mentally trying to keep things sailing smoothly and feeling upset at how hard I'm struggling. #helpsky

I'm just $3 short for a $12 payment today, but also, I'm trying my best to get $20 raked up so I can get a small list of necessities. $23 total for today, and absolutely anything helps. paypal.me/kittytama #helpsky #mutualaid

I love that this is just how we approach locked doors by this point

ah, it's raining in this area so there's a rain effect in battles. that's a nice touch

Honestly getting a little desperate

on the one hand the new equipment this chapter looks like a nice upgrade, but on the other hand I'm not sure where hakika expects me to get 40 grand plus whatever weapon upgrades end up costing, given how stingy random encounters are in this game

telebaba

okay by this point you're just taunting me about skill costs

Behold, the swagger of a protagonist who is now in posession of a 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙡𝙮 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙩

downside of any equipment that lets you heal MP in games where MP is on a premium: you end up considering whether it'd be better to just keep the MP heal every single time you find a potential replacement no matter how good it looks

we've been watching Bill Nye the Science Guy in my discord server and i forgot how unhinged the show can get

can't believe Walter failed to End It Thus #RPGLB2026

Thankfully, I was able to get my little sister a birthday cake. I'm still $60 behind on some overdue payments, but if I could get even just $30 raked up, it'd take half of the worry away which would be incredible. ;___; Thank you for the support so far!!! paypal.me/kittytama #helpsky #mutualaid

To better illustrate how dire the straits are for now... ;___; This shit sucks so bad. I know I'm not unique for this but, it really profoundly sucks. I'm trying everything in my power that I know how to do, and it's so overwhelming.

I have a rough day ahead and worry that my birthday on Friday will be rough too... ;___; We're currently $160 overdue on bill stuff and... I'm worried about affording groceries too in the next day-ish. ;___; Need things to work out... paypal.me/kittytama #helpsky #mutualaid

okay if you make the mimics this adorable you'll have players feeling bad about beating them up (which just makes them more dangerous, natch)

I'm presently about $40 short for today's payment, and still $111 short for yesterday's now overdue payment. ;___; Progress is happening but, I do still need help, I apologize. Tomorrow we owe simply $16 which is far tamer...! But anything helps at all. paypal.me/kittytama #helpsky #mutualaid

I've seen a lot of roadblocks in RPGs over the years but this one's certainly on the cuter side

Sadly I wasn't able to rake up yesterday's payment. Part of today's went through but it means I do have to rake up $111 for yesterday's overdue payment in addition to the $82 due today aaahhh

I'm presently about $95 short for today's $114 payment; tomorrow, we'll owe $82. Thank you all for your support thus far in helping me and my family overcome these debts. ko-fi.com/kittytama/go... #helpsky #mutualaid

most important adventuring rule: upheld

it's been far too long since I was last reminded of how perfect the enemy designs in hakika's games are

worth noting re: English scripts: Hydlide 1's text is all in English from the start (and practically doesn't matter at all) and Hydlide 3 has a (very ESL but comprehensible and not machine-translated) English script available in the options Hydlide 2 as far as I can tell doesn't have anything

so the whole hydlide trilogy came to steam

Presently trying to get at least half of rent ($200 total, so even just $100 is fine) and some payments that didn't go through yesterday as well as preparing for tomorrow... ;___; Lots of stress on my mind, but anything helps... $0/300 paypal.me/kittytama #helpsky #mutualaid

even the friggin' mini medals are getting powercrept, this is getting a little ridiculous

holy shit he wasn't kidding

Rami learned Finest Edge so she's finally regained her "highest damage stat in the party" crown, at least for the moment magic damage in general hasn't been impressing me at this stage so she definitely needs every point

Trying to get the rent raked up... Poppy's being annoying about getting it sooner than not, which is unsurprising given how he is. I got the family debts covered up until the 13th's payment onwards; any help with those is immensely appreciated. ;___; paypal.me/kittytama #mutualaid #helpsky

finished Ilias route once again Paradox didn't miss

noticed a crucial flaw in the original beef bowl recipe whilst doing some friendship farming...guess that's why the ultimate beef bowl's so ultimate

Trying to get $100 raked up for tomorrow's payment stuff (both toward family debt + my own debt, due around 9AM EDT). Anything helps, and nothing is too small! paypal.me/kittytama #helpsky #mutualaid
