UFO 50 Gold #19
07 - Velgress
Neat game - not very long, but the procedural generation is neat, and it features pretty quick restarts when you fail, which is always nice for a game like this.

Still having some abdominal pain today - went to the store to buy some foods that would maybe be easier on my system, although I don't actually know what my issue is yet, and the internet is not helpful in that I could have like 40 different things XD

UFO 50 Gold #18

Not much to say about this game - it's a pretty slight little arena shooter. It's fun in short bursts, but I definitely found the low movement speed to be very frustrating a lot of the time. #UFO50

Ugh, my stomach has been not feeling great the last couple of days - sorry for the silence here! Still feeling a bit wonky, but will post some of my latest UFO 50 accomplishments here shortly :)

Found this song while hanging out with @tanukidan.bsky.social last week - and holy shit how have I not heard of these guys before? Some absolutely terrific Japanese melodic metal, and I'm totally here for it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbI7...

45 - Mini and Max
I really, really like parts of Mini and Max. I also really, really don't know what I think of how the game is structured - it seems like it's really easy to just wander aimlessly and stumble upon things rather than getting real direction most of the time. #UFO50

Phantasy Star 3 has a lot that doesn't work - slow movement, tedious battles - overall it just feels like a lot of ideas that weren't able to be finished.

The music, however, is pretty decent, and the final dungeon track (Lashute) is pretty amazing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJzo...

Feels a bit more like a tech demo than a true game - extremely short, and actually somehow seems to get easier as it goes along

Jesus fucking Christ - I know people are dumb, but this is next level stupidity right here...
I guess some people really do like to learn things the hard way.

UFO 50 Cherry #9

I posted about this a while back, but never posted the cherry disk. Super addictive after a while, and I still sometimes come back and play random even though I have already achieved the cherry.

I have a really weird relationship with streaming right now. I miss doing it, and occasionally stream in Discord. But when I actually have time I could maybe use to stream, I just don't feel like it. It's like my brain is actively blocking me from wanting to stream when I have the time to do so.

It's not my favorite game in UFO 50, but I absolutely love the Onion Delivery music. Something about this track just hits so hard. #UFO50 #SongOfTheDay

Interesting adventure game. It starts really slowly, and doesn't really feel good to play until you get a few upgrades. The endgame is also far rougher than the rest of the game, and not sure that big of a difficulty spike was needed. #UFO50

Back from the conference! I had a good time learning some things at the conference, then had a great time yesterday hanging out IRL with @tanukidan.bsky.social!

Hey!. So just getting the word out on this and I put a little explainer together about how you can help.
The really short message is: genetics suck, need a living donor for a kidney.
It'd mean the world to me if you spread this around so ppl know! Thanks!

UFO 50 updates on hold for a couple days while I'm away at a work conference and processing through what just happened to this country.

Love y'all.

Looks like hatred wins again. You continue to disappoint me on so many levels, America.

I enjoyed the actual game quite a bit, but the hunt items kept getting longer and longer, and the endgame dampened my overall enjoyment a little bit. #UFO50

I know I have very few followers - but please, for all my US friends, go vote today, but do not feel like you have to watch every waking moment of the coverage as stuff comes in. I have done that in elections past, and it was never good for my mental health, even when I liked the outcome.

I really did not like this one to start - and still have a bit of a love/hate relationship with it, although it definitely grew on me, despite the sometimes wildly oscillating RNG.

Also, wild buddies can fuck all the way off. #UFO50
