What the hell is happening to Panera Bread?

Featuring a new collage by moi after 5 million years

Been wanting to roleplay but don't want to have to keep re-introducing your one-off characters? I've got the tool for you!

1. Upload a character here (small square icons preferred)
   
2. Write a brief description if you want
   
3. Use its numeric ID (in the url), like the code below:

[He/it] Billy he's the animal

King St. Bee

Hey Guys

You can put suggestions here for toys, new functionality, etc for the King St. Bee Discord bot

I will also use this area as a changelog for future updates until I set up the fucking manual

i have been interested in light forum roleplay but it's hard to get a group or keep it going. still i would like to try something for the fun of it. i am mostly thinking a continuous thread with possible branch threads if they are needed

thinking some kind of continuous, collaborative worldbuild; you can do character actions of course but also we can work together to flesh out the world and establish contexts for future characters. also would like to open the possibility of making it easy to throw most types of characters into it whether they're pre-existing guys you have on hand or not

And the ultimate bloging begins

I am using this as an opportunity to really dust off the blog and rewrite some beloved old posts, which means I'm going through each one manually. This does, however, mean things has been slow work. Especially since I am doing this totally from scratch. So I am compromising and publishing updates in chunks instead of leaving the blog offline for months to come.

I could use all the support I can get here, folks, cos in the end on top of trying to move away from Patreon I'm basically shooting myself in the feet and making new better feet just because I hate Tumblr THAT much. I hope this is worth it. Please god

Nintendo hates citrus fruit (goodbye Yuzu and Citra)

Nintendo wins $2.4M in Switch emulator lawsuit, Yuzu to shut down

Quote:Makers of Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu owe Nintendo $2.4 million after reaching a settlement with the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom developer, following a lawsuit over the open-source emulator just last week. Both Nintendo and Tropic Haze, the company behind Yuzu, filed for a final judgment and permanent injunction on Monday, according to court documents, after Nintendo accused the Yuzu makers of copyright infringement, circumvention of Nintendo’s Switch protections, and selling those circumvention technologies as Yuzu, among other things.

Nintendo 3DS emulator Citra taken offline as collateral damage in Yuzu lawsuit settlement

Quote:The developers of Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu entered a surprise settlement with Nintendo on Monday, agreeing to pay the game company $2.4 million in damages and cease development and distribution of the emulator. Now, as a result of that settlement, Citra—a 3DS emulator that shared developers with Yuzu—has also been taken offline.

Gotta be real with you, this sucks major ass. I don't have much to say here because I don't wanna get too doomer on it and this is a bit depressing for li'l ol' me.

I need to make more posts about new things being put into the world...

hello eggware forumgoers. i want to make some little guys in petz today for other people but don't know what to do. present us with a word and an animal and we will make you a little thang of your very own 

(you do not Have to own/play petz to redeem one of these but it would make us very happy to give people a thing they can play with )

hi. i recently started a new modded playthrough of stardew valley because youtube keeps recommending me videos of people doing wild challenges and i keep goddamn thinking about it. i thought it would be fun to try liveblogging it casually

there's a couple QoL mods thrown in (non-destructive npcs, automation) but the big mod to mention is stardew valley expanded, which adds a ton of new stuff that i'm not yet familiar with but is pretty solid so far. the other mods most worth making note of are

uhm. well im not going to lie to you theyre furry mods. theyre mods to make everyone anthros. admittedly i do have a couple stylistic gripes with the "anthro characters continued" mod but i just felt kinda weird being a damn animal while everyone else was normal

anyway. it is currently the last day of spring. will do a quick rundown and then post at certain milestones or when i feel like it

ive been gradually chipping away at the community center bundles (and checking with the traveling cart to snag some seasonal stuff a little earlier than usual) but i dont have any of the big stuff unlocked yet. i am very close to getting minecarts though which will be a huge help for getting around quicker

ive also been chipping away at the museum. i've been following this layout to ultimately get something that looks nice if im able to find all of it. unfortunately i am struggling to find a source for it because it came up as a damn pinterest upload will update if i am able to find the original

ok well i didn't realize i had a single gold bar laying around. convenient though i can get around town like a damn champ now

hiii okay so

we had the idea to start a Group Playthrough thread on our own forums, and while we will not be moving the Prize System here, we want to extend the invitation to do this challenge to this community as well!

let me copy and paste what's relevant....

Quote:we've been wanting to do a group gaming event for a while, and with the help of some friend brainstorming, this came to mind...a pokemon mystery dungeon themed event where the focus is simple: do a run of a mystery dungeon game- any PMD game, any mods/romhacks/randomizers you want, even picking an unfinished run back up- as long as you are posting about it here on our forums!

rules are simple, right? even though we can't reward people for it in the same way we can on our own forums (eggs are out of our hands....), it is still greatly encouraged to do similar things to over there: make bios for your pokemon, or even any areas they inhabit! share them here! make your own challenge rules! make little fanworks for people's stuff! have fun!

and now, our next post will be our starting entry for our own run...

we're going to be playing PMD Explorers of Sky, specifically randomized with SkyTemple. the gist of our randomization is as follows:

• random mons, but we did get the option to pick starter if we didnt like the quiz result so that it'd be petz friendly (more on that later)
• random items (possibly a mistake)
• random tilesets/floor plans/names/OST for dungeons (very fun so far)
• did not randomize moves, stats, abilities, etc. we are not the best with PMD gameplay so we figured this would minimize suffering.

and our personal challenge for the run...

new team members must be petz-compatible to some degree, and we have to hex them. this means that most of our team is going to either be quadrupeds, floating scrimblos like magnemite or the porygon lines, or bipeds we slap back onto the ground. our petz skills are pretty advanced at this point so this still gives us a pretty wide pool to work with, as well as having bases for a lot of mons from our other various runs ready to go. certain mons will absolutely get priority because of that- if we already have a base for something, we'd be fools Not to use it and get that extra party member. hopefully we can get some decent team comps off of this...

on top of that, we're going to be using our pokemon OC generator (soon to be hosted on the HD site once we get a generators page up proper) to randomize some little appearance variations and personality ideas for these guys as characters. actual relationships between characters will be handled via petz interactions, so that we can get cute screencaps of them interacting.

also, blanket perm: you can make whatever fanworks of our guys. if you end up making petz versions, we can even have them hang out in-game- though we are down to do any kind of lore building or even RP (though we would probably need a different thread for that...) with any characters people make. our locations are also free to use for your own purposes!

so...we started the game.

our first randomization didn't go so well because we forgot to make starters pickable and got slapped with snover and that simply will not do. re-randomized and got raikou first try, which was exciting as hell because we've wanted to make a raikou character for years and never really gave ourselves the opportunity to do so. it's a quadruped, it's a tiger, and it's super cute- especially with the prompt we generated for him. a round build...jesus christ it's raitora at home. while we didnt end up making him THAT round, we definitely made him soft and cute for the petz hex, which...
 

meet cloudburst, the leader of Team Storm Drain. he's a rough and tumble raikou with a paranoia problem, exacerbated heavily by people treating him like shit for being the runt of his raikou litter. he's a goddamn legendary and he's as big as a vulpix. just a little guy. as demonstrated by the fact that i immediately wiped to the first pokemon in the first dungeon (a fucking smeargle that failed sketch and then struggled me to death) he is Not good at fighting and has a major inferiority complex over it. his greatest wish in life is to become a prolific artist, taken seriously for his work, but he has yet to get any credit in his community, likely because...

he is also....a bandit! Team Storm Drain is a bandit team, not sanctioned by any guild of high standing...and we will be framing our exploits in our run as that of an evil (if bumbling, team rocket style) team! it felt like a fun twist, and we really like these two...which, let's get on to the partner mon.

[image description: a petz collage of a gastrodon hex, featuring a green and lavender body with yellow accents, spikier features overall, eerie eyes with coencentric rings, and earrings piercing one of his...frills? he is simply sliding around.]

it was a tossup between gastrodon and latias for options (there were more but both of those ones are HUGELY gay-associated mons for us, it was not really a question of anyone else getting in), but we already had a gastrodon hex ready to go and the storm theming with a raikou and a gastrodon was too good to pass up. we actually used a gastrodon in competitive for years with storm drain, so it just felt like the right move.

typhoon is the loyal henchman to cloudburst's evil team leader, and is devoted to a fault. cloudburst values his company deeply, but overlooks some of the gastrodon's feelings sometimes...if these two had a sort of pinky and the brain dynamic, typhoon would be pinky without question. silly, eccentric (though so is his "boss"...) and willing to do whatever he says- though he might not be effective at it. even so, typhoon is also the secret muscle behind the team, and oneshots shit frequently in our playthrough. it is actually fucking disgusting how good at fighting he is compared to the literal legendary on the team, most likely because he's fully evolved and has a way better movepool. a lot of the fights in-game end up with me (as cloudburst) ducking for cover behind this guy and letting him water pulse things to death, because otherwise i will die in two hits and cry.

typhoon is also very into being Evil™ and delights in petty heists with cloudburst. the two of them love to scheme. unfortunately, typhoon, while a lot of Slug Muscle, is also known to bungle operations pretty bad- based entirely off of the fact that i realized part of why i was doing such shit damage was because he kept using mud sport every time he saw an enemy across the map. he no longer can use mud sport. also, he generated Weird Eyes, angular shapes, and ear piercings, which i felt made for a suuuuper cool punk-y character. he's so cool.

which, of course, now we have to see the petz relationships side of things....within like 2 minutes they were cooing and fawning over each other, which is a pretty solid "it was love at first sight" conclusion. cloudburst must have set off for the big world and found himself head over heels for the punk slug...and the two became criminals together, albeit criminals literally no one takes seriously. they are gay against the whole world...

we'll write more about locations later, but i am Not up for image describing screencaps of dungeon tilesets right now. that will be another day!
