If I had a nickel for every time I flirted with a Death who is the sole target of a dating sim and voiced, I'd have two nickels.

Wondering if anyone would like a dedicated website (like a neocities/Carrd type deal) for my Internet Trinkets tag?

It’s mainly just internet tools, games, guides, resources, books and all kinds of links I’ve found to make the internet experience much more useful and fun, i.e, away from the nightmares of subscriptions, paywalls, hate and fear, as much as possible!

I’d want it to be like a little cornershop with the stuff you’d need, like milk and eggs and bread! Except in this context, it’s internet essentials and some stuff you didn’t think you needed, but do!

@good-morning-czernobog ‘s carrd as well as the likes of masterposts and websites like FrogLand have contributed to this idea, but I’d like some definite input from where this all started.

TLDR:

Want a website full of internet tools to make your life nicer?

Reblog are appreciated but no pressure ^^

~ Daisuke Amaya's artwork appreciation post!

My favorite game turns 20 this year, and I'm very happy to see that it never got old with such stunning artwork and, uh, being an awesome game in general!

Have these manually upscaled artwork from credits of the original Cave Story I did!

If you are interested in Amaya's works, you should also check out his Twitter or buy Kero Blaster to support him as a creator!

And if you are interested in Cave Story, play it! It's free and definitely is an unforgettable gaming experience!

basically, we kill niko if we sever our connection to the world/close the program without a bed

there is supposed to be a fail safe that prevents niko from dying if, say, a power outage happens suddenly, but the failsafe… doesn’t always work.

though we CAN bring niko back by opening up the program twice after it closing, so it’s not like earlier versions of the program where they were permanently dead

[I cannot tell if it's worse to imply this has been tested enough to know the machanisms...]

[Or trying to tell me that death, even if temporal in some "newer" version, isn't a horrible thing to go through.]

[Especially an ORGANIC being.]

035: Every Extend [Extra] [Extreme]

CANON FIRE is made possible by the generous contributions of readers like you. Support more writing like this on Patreon. Thank you!

Developed in three months as a student project, Every Extend is almost an “anti-shooter”, playing with the conventions of the shoot-em-up genre. You can’t shoot, and your goal is to destroy yourself intentionally. Detonating yourself sets off a chain of explosions with nearby enemies. A detonation uses up a life, but with careful timing you can chain multiple waves of enemies together, earning enough points for an extra life--or extend. Colliding with enemies or bullets inflicts a time penalty, Respawning is delayed until after the chain resolves, so timing a detonation to capture the most enemies is critical to both earning extends and making use of the limited timer.

Finding the exact timing to maximize your chain gives it a powerful tension, asking you to constantly wait on pulling the trigger until the last possible second. It’s a catchy hook, and alongside its abstract, geometric graphics and electronic soundtrack, has a simple and immediate appeal. That abstract art style might call to mind Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s REZ, which it turns out was a big inspiration for developer Kanta “Omega'' Matsuhisa. Not long after Every Extend’s release it would catch the eye of Q Entertainment, Mizuguchi’s then current company, who would hire Matsuhisa to develop a commercial version with them. 

Every Extend Extra elaborates on the original with Mizuguchi’s signature of electronic music and reactive sound. The original’s vertical SHMUP style format has been altered to match the widescreen format of the PSP, and each stage now has its own unique aesthetic, with an accompanying licensed track. Sound effects are now synchronized to the beat, altering in pitch with each successive chain, giving chains an even more satisfying crescendo. Boss fights have become more complex, with elaborate bullet patterns and multiple phases. The original appeal and rhythm is kept intact, effortlessly mixing in new aesthetic layers and boss mechanics. 

E3 also contains an Original Mode, which claims to be a version of the original game, but it’s mostly a port of the original’s stages into the new engine, missing the original aesthetics and aspect ratio. 

Every Extend eventually received an HD version in the form of Every Extend Extra Extreme, but with many alterations that turn it into essentially another game. The pace has increased drastically, with the desire to play to the more powerful Xbox 360 hardware resulting in a huge increase in the number of enemies. To deal with the limited amount of viable spawn points, a new shield mechanic has been introduced, preventing you from getting hit for a few seconds after respawning. With so many enemies on screen you’re almost guaranteed a large chain, but you’re at a large risk after the shield runs out, urging you to detonate faster. A new rhythm mechanic awards bigger explosions for detonating on the beat, further deemphasizing positioning. It also lacks the variety of aesthetics that E3 has, opting for a more uniform look for all its stages. 

The manic energy of the greater enemy count and extended explosion chains does have its own appeal, but it gets far away from the considered approach of E2 and E3, and feels more in line with the flashy popcorn appeal of other arcade shooters on the Xbox 360. As if they realized that, E4 has an extra mode named The Revenge, which turns the game into a regular twin stick shooter a la Geometry Wars. It’s really no more than a novelty, without any of the deeper mechanics that give those twin stick shooters their long term appeal. 

The final addition to E4 is the Wiz Ur Muzik mode, which syncs up with your personal music collection, though bizarrely it doesn’t use the 360’s built in file management capabilities. Instead you go into a “capture mode” then play the music by switching to the built in media player in the guide menu, which will automatically be captured by the game. It’s a truly bizarre way to introduce this feature, especially when plenty of other smaller downloadable titles managed to integrate music playback more seamlessly. Exactly what changes with your music isn’t very perceptible, so the experience doesn’t feel much different than turning off the in-game music and playing your own on another device. 

E4 is kind of a weird package that doesn’t capture the original appeal, and it’s kind of a shame that it’s the only way to play Every Extend on a modern system, thanks to Xbox 360 backwards compatibility.

Currently, you can purchase a digital version via the Xbox online store and download it to any Xbox from the 360 onward, and a physical version is also available via the Qubed compilation of Q Entertainment games, which also includes Rez HD and Lumines Live. This will likely be the only way to purchase it after next year, which will see the shutdown of the Xbox 360 digital store in July 2024.

The original freeware Every Extend can be found on the Internet Archive, while Every Extend Extra doesn’t seem to have received a digital release, leaving your only official option to purchase a PSP UMD. ISOs of E3 are, of course, easily available.

Yall should really stay away from pirating youtube content into useable files on your phone. It's scary and bad to be able to download only audio versions of youtube videos and pirate music this way.

Stay away from this website: ytmp3.cc

^very scary free and open pirating site with no intrusive ads and multiple file type and size options

Probably don't message me with your email. You definitely don't want me sending you a download for the YTmp3 APK app file, which is hard to get now due to DMCA strikes.

(Remember to virus scan all strange files after downloading and before you give them any permissions! Bitdefender looks promising)

(Also check out this high quality free ad-less music player: link )

SHARE THIS WITH YOUR FRIENDS TO WARN THEM!

Firealpaca update from this september week!

FireAlpaca Ver 2.11.9(2023/09/20)

When using a material brush, you can now draw with anti-aliasing completely turned off.

Implemented brush snap to grid.

Added L version and 2L version (Japanese photo size) to newly created templates.

It is now possible to display a "dark checkered pattern" when using a transparent background (View menu).

Added mm to grid settings.

B5 has been added to the manga manuscript template.

Added gradient preset (can be initialized with "Initialize Settings -> Restore Gradients…" from the Help menu).

some of these updates feel hugely helpful, especially the mm settings being added and the new templates. the global antialiasing (first point) will be so helpful for many who have asked for this before!
