No, you will not.  This will create further deflationary pressure.  Goddamn it Fed, why did you have to hike rates way back 3 months ago?

I can dream, damnit. Well. Nightmare, I guess. Whatever.

... okay, I now mildly regret mentioning momodora. The third one, anyway. Not because it's bad or anything, not in the least (it's probably the best of the three, mechanics/control wise, from what I've seen so far), just because it... could have really used a caveat. The second boss is. Well, there's not a better way of putting it. It's you engaging in deadly combat with a giant woman's cleavage.

I was not expecting it.

I mean. The fight's actually pretty alright? Just from the mechanics and patterns and whatnot standpoint. but. Yeah. Jiggle physics on a screen sized... probably zombie. It's a thing.

I thought Mister Mime was his father. His mother sure hangs out with that pokemon enough.

... do we even know if that one is male? Despite the name, the critters have a 50/50 gender split.

I mean. It might not actually make a difference, pokemon world being the pokemon world. But if some part of canon confirmed it was male, that'd make the theory more plausible.

Can vouch for magicmaker (also, its sound track is kinda' bloody amazing; I actually bought the soundtrack on release, despite not getting the game itself until today.*) -- it has a demo, though, if you're considering it. Thea's pretty nice -- there's pretty decent LPs out there to get a better idea what it's like. Dungeons of the Endless I would also give a second vote, trails of the sky, too.

Endless Legends... is maybe kinda' iffy. A lot good about it (and the soundtrack is pretty good, too), but unless it's changed in recent-ish updates the enemy AI is kinda' brain dead.

And meph: Joy2key

* Even though I didn't need to -- the music's easily accessible in the game data. I just wanted to give the composer some money.

It honestly kinda' looks like something's just borked up on that front. Browsing through the specials had the lists freaking out pretty much constantly. You'd refresh a page twice and see the same game in three different places (assuming it doesn't end up off the page entirely).

Thank you~

Ssooo... dem bones sales. Been scrolling through the specials in my general price range... noticed a few things of interest. Solar War's going at half (~10 USD, which is... probably still a little much, but I'm likely nabbing it anyway), a fairly neat take on the XCOM ethos, just, y'know, in space. Valdis Story is going at 75% off (~3.75) -- already own it, but it's a lovely little thing I'd totally recommend for folks that appreciate metroidvanias. Does pretty close to everything fairly solidly, if perhaps a titch short for your average metroidvania. Dungeon Warfare going for half off, at ~5. Pretty neat TD style game based mostly around traps instead of towers. Rub to actually buying it is that there's mostly (entirely?) feature complete flash versions on kong and such... still, probably one of the better TD style games out there, all told. Child of Light looks pretty neat; don't have it, but watched folks play a little and probably going to get, particularly at 75% off and <4 bucks. Looks like some or all of the Momodora games are going for fairly cheap, too... fairly cutesy metrodvanias with pretty solid design and implementation. First two are fairly short, though... dunno about the third. Pretty worth the asking price despite it.

Not on sale, but has anyone played this thing? Dig or Die, looks kinda' interesting. Or this -- sale's piddly, but I appreciated magicite a fair bit, so it'd be interesting to hear someone's thoughts on it. Also lookin' at these two, if anyone would happen t'have something to warn about them, or a better substitute for a similar game style.

Beyond all that, anything in particular y'all have noticed, yet?

You can kill a man, but you can't kill a meme.

Pretty sure you could, actually. You just have to kill everyone that knows it (which would eventually entail suicide, but eh) and destroy all other records of its existence. That'd make it about as dead as anything gets.
