I didn't think 2024 would be the year that I was playing the C64 Snoopy in Rivals of Aether, but here we are.

Back on my UFO 50 addiction for a while tonight~

tonight was kinda wild lmao

I storytold a game that went a little sideways because of the draws and the demon thinking it was over and giving up before it was actually over, but now I kinda understand more of what that script is going for so I can tune my running of it a bit better.

The next game, we played Bad Moon Rising and I swear that is my worst script by far. I had an extremely powerful role, misfired it, and got absolutely bamboozled lmao. I suspected one evil player, but the real demon flew completely under my radar so my very sweet friend did her job as minion well by drawing my attention away, haha.

I did immediately turn that right back around, though! I rolled the minion, put myself under fire, but still managed to present a strong enough world in which my demon was good that we pulled through. Coincidentally, I bamboozled the person who bamboozled me, lmao. My demon commented that I carried that round, and I feel like that was the first time I've actually done a particularly great job on the evil team.

If I'm going to be evil, I definitely prefer being the minion over the demon because then I can just like... do what I can to help my team, and then be okay with dying whenever I do, haha.

Grimstone - I've actually just not poked at this one much because I wanted to save it for when I'm in the mood for a longer RPG, but I'm looking forward to it!

Bug Hunter - My ability to play this game fluxes so much on every attempt, getting a streak is gonna be tough, but I feel confident that if I stick with it I'll get it

Paint Chase - (oops I misnamed this in the previous post :P)I *might* give this a go? I think the cherry for this one is a lot of memorization and figuring out patterns, so we'll see. Game's kinda rough lmao

Devilition - idk what it is about this game but I consistently beef it around wave 7 or 8. I have no idea what score I'm going to get by the end or how hard it's gonna be to cherry by the time I finally get my clear, so this joins the "we'll see" category :P

Block Koala - zzz... I'm still chipping away at a level or two every now and then, but it's not the most exciting Sokoban style game I know :P

Warptank - I'm still working on this and am definitely looking forward to the runback through the stages to hunt for the missing coffee :3

Caramel Caramel - fuuuuuck this game's brutal lmao... I think I can get it, but I really hate that the only checkpointing we get for this is at the beginning of stages

Vainger - I enjoyed the first bit of what I played and just need to get back around to it, so I'm sure I'll get this one and have a good time with it probably??

Valbrace - I really enjoy this one and am slowly poking at it and mapping all the floors, I don't know what the condition is but once I beat the game and inevitably get the gold I'll gladly play it again for the cherry if I need to. :P

Star Waspir - I hate that this is in my top 10 most played games on this pack out of pure spite, lmao. I keep loading it up and thinking "maybe this is the time this game will be less garbage," and it never is. If I wind up at 49/50 cherries, it's because I threw Star Waspir in the garbage can.

Lords of Diskonia - I still have extremely mixed feelings about this game. The computer feels like it cheats during the disk battles, but tactically as long as you vaguely wear them down over time and make good decisions on the map, you can lose more than you win and still take the overall victory when they exhaust their reserves. I'll be glad to get this one out of the way, lmao

Night Manor - (oops! I forgot this on the previous list) I really dig what Night Manor is doing, but I'm also a fucking scaredy bitch and will need to be in the mood to play this. I'm not like, usually super easily startled? but the killer popping up even when I'm expecting him and know how to handle him still gets me every time haha

Cyber Owls - another "I might just skip this one" because I know the requirement for this is a pure deathless run... and most of the game modes in this are pretty mid

Golfaria - I'm at 92%, and I'll probably just shamelessly peek at a map to see what I'm missing to save myself the aimless wandering.

36 cherries at this point! At this point I don't have:

Grimstone
Bug Hunter
Paint Chaser
Devilition
Block Koala
Warptank
Caramel Caramel
Vainger
Valbrace
Star Waspir
Lords of Diskonia
Cyber Owls

(and Golfaria, but that's close to done)

Beastieball playtest 3 is still in progress, so I'm gonna knock out a few more things that I wanted to do before the week was up :)

trying really hard not to parasocial/fangirl when someone whose work I respect a lot shows up in my stream chat but also wanting to very heavily gush about said things lmao

https://twitch.tv/karma_dragoness

It's beastieball playtest 3 time! I missed my lil creatures so much ;w;

Back on with some UFO 50 shit, spoiler warning though: I'm digging into the terminal stuff more

Back to Decline's Drops!

if there's one thing social media is nice for, it's finding out from devs when other devs drop games that I never knew were even in the making, lmao

this happened with Decline's Drops today and I'm glad it crossed my radar, it's hella fun

Playing Decline's Drops, a game about a boxing puppet who wants to avenge her garden... by going extremely smash/DMC mode on all of her foes

Gonna play some more UFO 50! Probably working more on Onion Delivery and Divers mostly today.

Stratica doing halloween themed comms this month, and I've been a blood on the clocktower addict so I asked for something with the grimoire.

As your storyteller, it's my job to make sure everyone has fun :)

I don't have the gold yet for Onion Delivery, but I managed to die on day 7 while reasonably on track for the 50 delivery requirement for the cherry.

Unfortunately, when I got to day 7, I hit a really rough route, leaving me no time left for overtime, and when I tried to just pull back into home for the gold, the sludge from the random event pushed me out of the way and into an oncoming car for my least heart, lmao.

UFO 50 again :P

Unfortunately, news of "beastieball playtest 3 in a week" *does* mean 7 days from now and not 0 days from now ;P

I think I'm finally reaching the point where I'm allowed to exist outside of UFO 50 again. I've still got a lot to do with it, but I at least have *some* agency again. :P

https://twitch.tv/karma_dragoness

making steady progress on UFO 50, wheee

https://twitch.tv/karma_dragoness

hey! hey! it's more UFO50!
