#137 - It (Was) Morphin' Time!

 Hello everybody! On July 21st, 2025, I started a journey unlike any other... Just kidding. I started my journey into the entire Power Rangers franchise. Here are my thoughts... I finished Mighty Morphin' Season 1 on July 27th. My goshness, it was so dated. It was just oozing  low-budget. However, the season did eventually get better. By the original planned ending, episode 40, the quality improved and it wasn't too bad of a sit-through. The bonus 20 episodes were decent enough as well. MMPR S2: August 1st This was a much weaker season. Part of this is because they tried to keep going with the original suits and characters from the first season, even though it was an adaptation of the next Super Sentai season. (If you didn't know Power Rangers was an American adaptation of a Japanese show... well now you know). The overall story was also not as engaging but the writers did a decent job of cobbling something together when half of the main actors walked off set. MMPR S3: Augu...

#136 - The Champion of Crabs

 Hello everybody! If you have read my recent posts, then you would know I've been playing Crab Champions. I eventually finished the big run I was on after getting many achievements and getting nearly all regular items to the max level of 255. Since then, I haven't been playing as much because going back to the start has proven to be difficult for me. -_- I've also been tackling more of my triangle game. The new planned release timeframe is October, after the upcoming Steam Next Fest. That gives me enough time to set up a business entity and create the Steam store page. I have already done all the capsule artwork and tags, but I still haven't written the literal page description itself. In the meantime, I've been working on the official demo. It will be a dedicated level (with its own menu) since I don't think the first story level works well for a vertical slice. I also recently played through Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit. It was a pretty good spin-...

#135 - The Lor(e) Party

 Hello everybody! I was recently gifted a copy of The Lost Subways of North America , which I've been wanting to acquire for a while. It's a great book, but my Notch it gets tiring to hold because of how large it is. I was gifted it around the same time as Look Who's Back  and  Evangelion 3.0 + 1.11 . With that aside, time to update y'all on my Content Warning DVD. I haven't started it yet  but I do at least have all the videos ready to go, including one to be used for the main menu background. Hopefully I get to play more tomorrow (more on that later) but anything new will be added to the next DVD, alongside some other recordings that didn't have to be on the first disc. I've still be playing some Crab Champions, but not as much. I have this one run that's been going a good 16 hours or so and oh boy, I'm looking forward to starting something new at this point. I'm already close to Island 550. Tomorrow, May 31st will be a big day for me. My YouTu...

#134 - Approaching the End of the To-Do List

Image
 Hello everybody! Last night, I reached a big milestone for my triangle game. All story level music tracks have been completed. Party potato! No, this isn't Discord so I don't have the image. Unless... I hope y'all can see that. Good thing I made my own HD recreation of it. Anyway, the last music track that needs to be finished is the music for the test level. I've outsourced Soybean_56 for that, partly because of how tiring it is to create all these unique tunes, but also because, since it is a bonus level, it does not need to be consistent with the rest of the music utilized. I've listened to the two demos he created so far, and oh boy, it is complex when compared to the rest of the music. I gave him the format that the song needed to be in five distinct layers so that there is proper playback with the in-game music system I created. He said five was too limiting and I didn't want to argue with him about keeping things simple. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We'll see what the ...

#133 - He Was Back

 Hello everybody! I'm currently going through the extras of Look Who's Back,  but because only the movie had English subtitles, I figured I might as well work on a new post while the deleted and extended(?) scenes are playing. There are about 51 minutes, it would seem, so we shall see how far I get on writing before they end. Anyway, it's about time I catch y'all up on the Caleb and Sophia saga... (I say, then immediately have flashbacks to A Little Snow Fairy Sugar  and Saga, of whom I always called "The Saga Continues" [because that was a shorter name than saying "The Saga of Tanya the Evil {which is a totally unrelated anime}]). Ahem When I last mentioned them back in April 2024, I kicked them out of my head because they stopped paying rent. Since then, they have not been allowed to move back in, but they have come around to knock on my door a few times, as you would expect JW children to do. Before then, in February 2024, I last talked about the 47 ep...

#132 - Capes Galore

 Hello everybody! Today Mojang started bringing over Bedrock Edition exclusive capes to Java. Currently, the Founders and Pan Cape were copied with the possibility of the Progressive Cape as well. It'd be nice if they also brought Java capes over to Bedrock because I would like if my Minecon 2016 were available on Bedrock. We shall see as time passes and more capes roll out. Anyway, I've been working a lot on my silly little triangle game. I finally bit the bullet and implemented community level loading. It took a whole lot of logical reasoning and going through every possible solution of what didn't  work. Eventually, I was able to export the level of the dedicated editor project and load that level in the main game itself. Now that the system works, I'll be able to take advantage of the Steam Workshop in the future so that people can easily share or download through there. The game is split into three primary components. First, there is the Living Shapes Engine. This ...

#131 - Minecraft Parodies Like It's 2014

 Hello everybody! Looks like I'm back at it again writing another post. Know what I've been doing? Listening to old Minecraft songs and parodies, primarily from 2012-2014. I remember these well from my early years of Minecraft. But as I sit here today, I realize 2014 was eleven years ago. Time really goes zoom when you're not looking. Anyway, I've been listening to ThnxCya's Love, Lost and Found  EP that was released this past summer. There's some pretty cool stuff on there, including demos and unreleased songs I never heard before. He never made too many songs (like ZexyZek or Minecraft4Meh) so it's real easy to get through all of his for both Minecraft and Call of Duty. I've also been listening to Phantaboulous's songs, and as much as I enjoy them, it bothers me so much that he had two CDs being sold all the way until 2021-ish. It wasn't until 2023 that I decided I wanted to buy them. Makes me mad that I had 7-8 years to acquire both CDs, but n...
