huh, TIL that the German implementation of GDPR basically outlaws plain-text password storage

Our local library has a pretty good black friday offer:

(translated from danish:)
"Borrow two books for the price of one
Twice as free"

The knight looked at the purring pile, and turned to the dragon.
"You hoard cats?"
"Aren't they sweet?"
"You can't sleep on a hoard of cats!"
"Of course not. They usually sleep on me."
"You are their hoard?"
"Why so concerned with labels?"
"I don't want to fight you."
"So don't."

so i mean yeah I cheated hugely to get through the entire game but I feel no guilt and heck I had SOME fun but not a whole lot. It was pretty disappointing in all honesty

white people affecting "indian" accents and shitty jokes about indian culture everywhere :/ ugh.

Oh and also there's this horrific timing bug on windows 10 where ninja float in slow motion as they jump , and Chapter 8's "The Getaway" is impossible to complete without a level skip because you outrun the target and get stuck as he pauses to "let you catch up" indefiniately.

also the stat levelling system is punishing. It costs a lot of points to level up, you won't earn enough points to max out everything so you have to choose carefully what to level, and you move and hide and act so slowly at the start it's nigh impossible to not be detected even on easy.

Oh and it's also pretty racist at several points. :/ The entirety of the India section. holy fuck.

oh yeah I dunno if I mentioned but I completed NOLF2.

it's...

...

...I mean gameplay wise it's good, it's got some good mechanics, but it's poorly executed. It purports to be a stealth game but the problem is you are actively punished by its systems for not killing anybody and just knocking them out. They just get back up again once they wake up and go into alert mode, rearming themselves magically, then breaking patrol routes and making levels take FOREVER to navigate.

oh shit you know what?? I'm gonna play KOTOR 1! I forgot I had that!

well the windows are being washed, and this involves a brush pumping water and stuff through it on the end of a long stick to get the ones on the roof where my room is in (attic conversion). This of course spooks Kami and Misty because they're like "AUH WHAT HTE HELL IS THIS STRANGE ALIEN CREATURE SUDDENLY AT THE WINDOWS!?"

Kami runs and hides, Misty watches it like prey.

@Nine @itchio I love that there are developers in the comments saying they'll set their revshare to 100% for itch on Friday as well <3

A reminder that this Black Friday, rather than putting on an enormous sale, @itchio will be donating their entire revenue share from all sales on the site to a pair of LGBTQ+ and climate change charities

so I've had to remap one of the other buttons to "middle click" that's still in the centre of the mouse. man if I'd known this mouse was gonna crap out that soon I woulda bought a different one :/

...oh right I have no middle click on my mouse any more :| the wheel broke somehow so there's no click response at all from it. still scrolls, but no click :|

oh shit someone remixed Rude Buster, the battle theme from Deltarune, into a chill as fuck track aaaaa youtube.com/watch?v=8Omn9t4s3J

It had some pretty great music though, like that staff roll music. Super good jam.

The Stand Alone Complex game on the PS2 was... alright. It was a fairly capable third person shooter but you played largely as either Batou or Motoko, and there were like, two or three (usually short) levels where you played as a Tachikoma and they were... annoying levels at that :/ The PS1 game was ... more fun and exciting really I think.

Level design was p. bad on the PS2 game too at times. Really easy to get lost in it. Not super memorable. Bosses were aggravating, controls sucked.
