It happened again, this time in 3-player. https://is.a.qute.dog/media/KVf5Y5eDmAa_3yqodlY

after a cutscene, you're given a code to "test out the TV-303" (the TV-202 is the ship you fly in the game, IIRC)

entering said code takes you to level 0-0 ... and, before I even make an attempt to piece together this, just *watch*:

the last planet, Proxima Seven, ends abruptly after the second mission (every single other planet in the game has three missions), revolving around flying into a tunnel that looks like a giant floppy disk drive, and destroying the "supercomputer" which looks like a cartoonish person in a box, in a trivial fight, then leaving through another tunnel

it ends so abruptly it even skips the normal post-level briefing

so, Terminal Velocity's last episode takes a very sudden turn from "evil borg trying to take over the universe" to "evil borg ... trying to mass-produce harmless robots and worship (what is apparently) a supercomputer???"

the briefings you're given in the last episode get very bewildered and unsure at points about what is actually going on

that moment where you go "I bet the creepiness associated with this video-game related thing from my childhood was just a product of me being young and it's actually not that creepy"

and then you look it up and it's actually creepier than you remembered

LITERALLY THE SAME GAME.

(The previous picture was Terminal Velocity running in Fury³, this is the reverse.)

Fury³ and Terminal Velocity are literally the same game.

doggo, tired,

say what you want about it, but Sonic 4 Episode 1 is the only Sonic game released in like, the past 20 years that I still get occasional desires to replay.

Even Sonic Mania, it was alright, but I don't really want to pick it up again when the game starts out with such a slog and only picks up later.

this was a real pain to get working on proton, because the launcher requires a specific ancient version of the JRE

but everything went swimmingly afterward

I am such a klutz.

I go into the kitchen to cook food and I come out with a PB&J sandwich and a burned foot.

_how am I supposed to explain this_

kat cute,

Zero-player things are fun and my pet project needs a stress test, so I'm gonna let it run with random inputs while I sleep https://twitch.tv/K_S_/

what an eclectic selection of repositories, huh https://is.a.qute.dog/media/ogzhwr0reC9F3oNtPfU

Worms Armageddon got an update today.

It's 2020. The game's old enough to drink at this point and it's still getting updates.

so I figured out why I couldn't connect to my server during the outage, despite the fact that I don't use Cloudflare at all

... DigitalOcean's nameservers *do* use Cloudflare, sigh
