Got most of the debugging and reformatting issues taken care of, just need to confirm the fixes and we'll be good to go. Hopefully they'll be done by Friday, but if not then by Sunday. Planning on streaming both days anyhow.
Also, noticed that I had an odd number of Duo Boon Jokers. So I made more

Getting things set up for the second playtesting stream for the Hades Balatro Mod.
After this, it's getting the last pieces done (Booster Pack art update, icon, etc), then I was thinking of uploading the project on Nexus Mods, most likely.
Either there or GameBanana.

Back from moving the friend. Haven't really been in New Jersey for awhile so it was neat visiting, even if it was just for a way (and even if it was quite the drive up).
Bonus Dispatch stats for Episode 3 too.

Liking this game quite a bit. Like a Telltale adventure game but with more "game" in the game, diggin' it!

In lieu of Baldur's Gate issues, I went ahead and started Dispatch. Fun time so far, well voice-acted too. Just did Episode 1 earlier, excited to check out the rest too.
And for the stats, here's what I got going blind.

I was thinking of streaming the Game Awards in December and, for fun, I started thinking predictions and the like.
Starting with predictions what'll get nominated for GOTY. Ideally Hades and Silksong would get nominations, but they only usually pick 1 indie.

We survived the stream, huzzah.
Got stuff to fix up for the next one, but so far most bugs have been not particularly game-breaking so far. Nice.
I'll try to stream again at least once this weekend with a new build of the mod. Maybe even stream both days

Still planning on streaming some playtesting later this evening, even with the slight pangs of anxiety over streaming again.
At least there'll be a lot to do, there's lots of ground to cover here, and this is just the Olympian-themed Jokers shown here

We're pretty much good to go, just a handful of things to look over like the icon and whatnot. So, let's try to commit to a stream this week.
Ideally we'll try for Thursday, although if that falls through then we'll give Saturday a shot instead.
We'll play things by ear regarding future streams

Hades 2
I've been a Supergiant Games fan since Bastion so I had some bias coming into this. But yeah, this game is amazing. I do have some nitpicks, but nothing too significant except for maybe the ending. Nearly a 100% gameplay improvement over Hades 1, phenomenal music, amazing game

NiGHTS into Dreams
Had this on Steam for the longest time and I gave it a shot last August/September. Fun game, once you got past the learning phase. Not a lot is explained, but over time it made some sense.
That said, the last levels were a bit much, given the time limits and controls. Fun overall

Now that stop stopped crashing, now it's time to record.
There was a good deal of luck to get to this point, but in hindsight, I think some stuff may need to get toned down a peg or two. Or three.

Progress is progressing. At its own rate.
Just a few fringe cases like this to fix up, but we're close enough to start recording gameplay

Working on debugging some of the crashes for the Balatro mod. There's quite a few and I'm not particularly savvy with Lua but I think I can get some temporary solutions in place.
If things aren't running by Saturday, then I'll try to stream either Wednesday or Friday next week. In the meanwhile...
