barbeauxbot: courtneykeene: phnuuby: courtneykeene: wilwheaton: What the actual fuck. Can I just carry this around and use it on the children whose parents want to be their “friends” and not their parents?  ……..not sure which is worse . What do you mean about parents who want to be their friends and not their parents ?? The type that tries to dress and act like their kids so they can be cool ?? Nooo the parental trend these days to not discipline kids because of a fear that they won’t like the parent. My mom is a second grade teacher and she has a number of kids whose parents act like this. It’s the “I don’t believe in consequences” attitude, even if its a sub-conscious thing on the parent’s part that I don’t agree with. It seems to create kids that think they can get away with and are entitled to anything and everything.  In reality, I’d probably prefer one of those made for said parents. :p  Didn’t mean to offend though, so I apologize to you and other parents. :) I respect the heck out of everyone who is an actual parent to their child. And I say this as someone who is friends with their mom. She still knew when to draw the line, you know?  These are used in hospitals to do things like keep kids still when you have to give them stitches. Calm down. Yes, that’s the true intent. Seems less traumatic than soft restraints and certainly more so than an adult looming over a child and trying to hold them down. I believe my aunt mentioned something like this when her daughter had to get a number of stitches.  Apologies all around. :) Seriously, not trying to offend anyone with my social commentary joke which is likely in questionable taste. I’m having problems communicating with everyone today. Time to just go back to working.

Closing Grimrock for now. Thanks to everyone that didn’t unfollow me during that. ;) 

I purchased and downloaded the game… sometime this afternoon, I forget when. Figuring it looked immersive enough and would involve a decent amount of brainpower to keep me occupied, and I could support more indies. 

With the exception of some time spent cooking and then eating, I played most of today. It did its job and kept me engrossed, and I’ve only just completed Level 3. 

Had to get some hints on a couple things I just plain missed. I could probably sit here for an hour until it clicks, but meh. One small hint helps get you looking (or thinking) in the right direction and from there you can make the mental leap. If anyone is playing and needs similar hints from Levels 1-3, let me know. Pretty sure I’ve found all the secret rooms so far. 

But I guess I wouldn’t know if I hadn’t, since they’re secret!

Fun game. Definitely reminds me of playing DnD. It’s harsh, but not as harsh as it could be. I don’t feel too restricted. Still moving the wrong way on occasion, and one time a spider jumped out of wtf nowhere and I jumped, so the mouse slipped and I ended up throwing my sword at the wall. But that was more amusing than anything else. 

If you like old school dungeon crawlers or you like dungeon crawling in DnD then you’ll like this. As someone who played one dungeon crawler (one of the Wizardy games, forget which) a long time ago (ie I totally forgot everything about it aside from that it existed) AND is usually pretty meh about exploration, I’m digging it so far. The limitations force me to slow down, and exploration with a point is something I actually do like quite a bit. Exploration just for the sake of clearing a map has never been my thing, though.

Anyway, 15 bucks. I got mine on GoG just because they tend to support a lot of indies. I’ll play more tomorrow after work, but for now it’s bedtime.

Beastly Art: 30-Day Original Story Development Challenge

Here is a 30 day original story development challenge. It can be filled by prose or illustration or comic or even just script, whatever works for you and how you’ll be displaying the setting. Feel free to reveal as much or as little as you want.

Day 1 - A main protagonist, their bio.

Day 2 -…

Interesting questions. A bit meandering, which is probably what I need. Reblogging this so I can hold onto it. Will try to start tomorrow.

So far I’ve been able to cheese the spider poison by resting until the toxin is gone. Let’s see how long that lasts…
