My house was haunted by Rod Serling, but he just narrated my day to day as if my life was a TZ episode.
I need to be kidnapped by kind aliens who take me to the alien vet and they know exactly what's wrong with me and they cure me and feed me nutritious meals
:)
aaaaaaa i have more things to say about Voices of the Void, but the executive dysfunction is killing me. ...Also I've been trying to avoid using Windows for as long as I can. Does anyone have advice on how to get it to run on Linux? Because I have no idea what I'm doing with that sort of thing.
The map is a detail in Voices of the Void that always seemed kind of weird to me. Is it some cultural difference? Eldritch geometries? Alternate Earth with inverted magnetic field? Hostile cartographers? Trolling dev? Like what's going on there?
The recent remake got me to reminisce about this game. There's just something so wonderfully out of place this game is in regards to the Mario franchise as a whole. In summary: Prologue: Welcome to this absolute hellhole of a city! Experience assault, gang violence, and robbery within mere minutes! Interludes: "...TTYD Peac, who gets naked 10,000 times per scene, is a statistical outlier adn should not have been counted." Chapter 1: Local dragon amasses absurdly high kill count via appeals to greed and foot fetishism Chapter 2: "Were... were they intending for this to be a metaphor for...?" (See: WoolieVS playthrough) (insights that make you go "oh no" 😬) Chapter 3: Mario is on the wrong side of the class divide, and needs mafia connections to proceed. Also, surprise! There's murders happening! Chapter 4: Mario's adventure suddenly becomes an allegory for gender dysphoria! ...You don't remember that? That's because the Gamecube-era localizers were COWARDS! (Remake-era, not so much 👍) Chapter 5: Don't worry about the fact that you released a murderous pillaging ghost-pirate out into the world for your own benefit. It's fine. Probably. Ch. 5 Bonus: ...What do you mean you also gave an endangered species brain damage???? Chapter 6: A nice, low-impact story arc to unwind and- OH GOD THEY'RE EVERYWHERE AAAAAGGGH Chapter 7: Mario reactivates an old Cold War-era Soviet weapons system. By now this sort of thing feels par for the course. Chapter 8: funny bing bing wahoo man fights the harbinger of the End Times
Blursed anomaly of a Mario game that shaped my youth, 10/10
Implying that the 1.0 ending somehow *won't* be the arirals giving him the catboyification serum
turned him into a cat guys. sorry
Me constantly
so i was testing random things in sandbox mode and uh. yeah. arirals don't fuck around when it comes to Threats™.
Strangely I've *also* considered the "what-if" of vehicle/limb upgrades. Like really specifically as they're depicted here. I've imagined some sort of event where you end up maimed, and based on Ariral rep you either wake up with an upgraded limb, or have to struggle to craft a lesser prosthetic yourself. Seems like the sort of thing that would happen.
And yeah, a vehicle upgrade would definitely be some sort of warparrow-like hovercraft. Preferably it wouldn't catapult you 5 miles away if you hit something at slightly-higher-than-average speeds.
woah its john voices
