It’s a shame because -I have KKD1 -It sounds pretty positive/fun once you get used to it -Positive comments here.

The flipside is… I saw people discussing the game/studio very recently, and the discussion veered into the ‘Is the lead dev/the dev team actually Nationalist/white supremacist types’ direction.
Mostly due to the fact the second game is apparently going to have more ethnicities than ‘white Eastern European and some token Turks/Arabs who Are The Baddies’, and the apparent irony this is (predictably) angering The Usual Sorts.

I don’t want to be the guy to out Milkshake Duck here but… ._.

Can’t speak to that at all. I know nothing about the game except it’s title and what I’ve played.

This is only based off second hand sourcing (making me a third hand source heh), so apply a pinch of salt.

I have one thing left to do in Vampire Survivors and its buy Chaos which is basically the gold cap.

Which I HAD until certain half vampire pretty boy needed a load of eggs.

Just leave Alucard on endless castle and go do other things.

unlikely, i don’t season my food

this is not a joke about british cuisine, which would be the obvious interpretation, but rather that my wife who cooks knows how to season a meal properly during the cooking phase from the start

I mean, good luck? I’ve seen its stats.

alucard could ask me for my gallbladder and I’d reach a hand through my torso to hand it over with a smile tbh

4392

Same TBH

sighs

NGL most of the characters in Castlevania are pretty so I’d probably hand them all my gallbladder

speaking of which, Castlevania Nocturne is real good

Season 2 dropped end of last week and it is The Good Stuff - really nice to see a fusion of egyptian, west african and haitian voodoo folklore depicted with care and reverence

you know, rather than introducing dambala, randomly villain-batting him and then killing him unceremoniously

Have to put it on my “to watch” list.

Thinking of maybe streaming all the castlevania games, I have most the steam ports and they’re all okay mostly with a controller.

Also-- harping on making Alucard do my gold grind but instead picked Dracula because he’s better suited for just sitting on his butt in one place.

And all that is going through my head is; “Stacey’s mom has got it going on”

I heard mixed rumblings about Season 1, probably cluttered by The Usual Sorts, so this is good to hear. Will have to catch up!

Annette was changed for the series to be a Haitian (Saint-Domingue, at the time) revolutionary and For Some Reason people are really angry about that

Reading an article about some American bundt cake franchise, mostly because I was surprised that there was such a demand for specifically bundt cake that you could have a franchise of bakeries about it. Some 650 locations apparently. Somehow.

Anyway the franchise owners are unhappy because their corpo masters are now demanding that they open on Sundays too.

Why did they make this change?

Nothing Bundt Cakes began in 1997 in the Las Vegas kitchens of Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz. Private equity firm Levine Leichtman Capital Partners acquired the business in 2016, but Tripp retained majority ownership. In 2021, Levin Leichtman sold Nothing Bundt Cakes to another private equity firm, Roark Capital, after which Tripp left the company.

Ah yeah that’d do it.

I wonder why?!

Right, do I give Drac the RPG?

It’d be lore accurate, it is Soma’s weapon after all.

Ive set myself a limit to not get burnt like i did with Overwatch. I think the sheer volume of choice can kinda paralyse you.

But also I do live for them bringing back a lot of the old animation names to voice heroes and villains again. Steve Blums wolverine was always iconic… James Arnold Taylors Magneto is sublime.

But honestly Josh Keatons Starks been fantastic. Really slimy as per Venom and just sells that comic side of IM the Mcu didnt. Jarvis load up my 80s playlist.

I have come to terms with the fact two of my colleagues are incompetent. One lets kids fall into ponds and get tangled in rope (she’s also a beaver lead so that’s a bit worrying).

The other has a kid get a 2nd degree burn and declares ‘well what can I do really, it’s art’.

Anything. Literally anything more than the nothing you chose to do lady.

So. That’s a thing.
