"People are peculiar creatures. All their actions are driven by desire, their characters forged by pain. As much as they might try to suppress the pain, to repress desire, they cannot liberate themselves from eternal servitude to their feelings. As long as the storm rages within them they can find no peace. Not in life, not in death. And so, day after day, they will do all that must be done. Pain is their ship, desire their compass. All that humankind is capable of." because of the blood.

In honor of Apple Foal's Dai, everything in the world is backwards. Including us! So say something that's the exact opposite of what you would normally say.

Animation? Pah! What a baby genre. COPS is where it be at.

Give us a song/music piece that has a link to the previous song/music piece! You should also give a reason why the songs/music pieces are linked.

For example: There was never a song above this post, so...

Animal Crossing! It's a cozy simulation game series developed by Nintendo where you live out life in a village/island with many different types of animal villagers as your neighbors.

I should really get back into playing this, huh?

Yes, I'm actually doing this.

Anyway, welcome to my playthrough of the 2000 game Gold and Glory: The Road to El Dorado. Specifically, I'm playing the PC version. I've been in an El Dorado mood lately (if you somehow couldn't tell), so this game was an obvious choice for my first let's play. Unfortunately, most of the reviews I've read on this game have been... mixed at best, so we may be in for quite the experience. Also, before we begin, I just wanted to show this wireframe thingy of Tulio that I found in controls configuration. I just think it's neat!




So if you... OH GOD. OK, maybe these graphics were good for 2000, but... yeaaaahhh. As I was saying. If you're not familiar with the plot of the film (and by extension, this game), here's a quick, spoiler-free summary. Tulio (left) and Miguel (right) are two Spanish con artists living in early 16th century Spain. They win a map that leads to the mythical city of El Dorado. Miguel is eager to follow the map, but the more skeptical Tulio doesn't buy the whole thing. After a series of little incidents, they end up on an escape boat with Hernan Cortes' warhorse. Eventually, the three wash up on the shore of the New World. They follow the map's directions and eventually discover El Dorado, where they are mistaken for gods! And yeah, there's the friendly chief, the villainous high priest, the love interest and fellow con artist, and an armadillo who may or may not be the actual god. Or some guardian angel or whatever.


The game proper starts off with Miguel and Tulio discovering a wanted poster of themselves. Not wanting to be noticed, Tulio makes the smart decision to remove the poster.


After removing the poster from the wall, the duo notice a man selling corn imported from the New World. Tulio decides to buy a bag for one peseta. Not a bad deal, right? Except that was their only money. Damn, these two are poor.


They walk a few steps further and notice another man selling chickens. For twenty pesetas. Yeah.


Luckily, Tulio gets the idea to bait a stray chicken nearby with the corn that he bought. He figures that the chicken man will buy the stray chicken for twenty pesetas.

Except not. The chicken seller offers them five pesetas for the stray chicken. Miguel points out that he himself sells chickens for twenty. But the merchant basically tells him "that's how the market works" or whatever. What an asshole.


We then get to the dice minigame. The fucking dice minigame. I really hate this part. Like, really. I don't even want to get into it. It just sucks, dude. For real.


After winning that god awful minigame, Tulio wins a map to El Dorado. Also, Miguel and Tulio are now free to walk through other parts of Seville, since one of the guards left.


After doing some wandering, the boys encounter a bullfighter who calls himself "The Great Malezo". This one chick goes fucking cray-zay over him. Fangirls. Malezo boasts to the two about having defeated "the devil in bovine form", El Diablo. However, Miguel and Tulio both write Malezo off as not worth their time and leave.


They then encounter this little boy with a slingshot. The kid is guarding the area for some reason, and when they get too close, he hits them with his slingshot. Tulio then gets the idea (he's the idea guy if you haven't guessed by now) to put Miguel in a fishy smelling barrel so he can walk past the boy unharmed. The kids accuses them of cheating and runs off, conveniently dropping his slingshot in the process. Tulio picks up the slingshot and the duo heads off.

So yeah, that's part one of my playthrough. I'm stopping here 'cause I don't wanna post too many screenshots. I'll probably post tomorrow or the next day. Hope you guys enjoyed this first part!

Pretend we are in a restaurant setting. Someone in a restaurant orders soup, and tells the waiter (the poster below) there is something in it. The waiter, recommends a way to fix it.

Waiter! There's a kitten in my soup!

This is a weird and dumb game based on a shitpost I made in like the middle of the night. It's not in roleplays or forum games because there are more rules and you can't create and/or use your own characters. I ask that you follow the usual rules as well.

You know the thought experiment about replacing all the parts of a boat one by one as it gets in disrepair, and whether or not it is still the same boat? Well, this is basically a silly improvisational story version of that! - At the start of the game, I provide a sentence that will be relatively normal. - Each poster gets to add, remove, or place one word. - Once it gets to the point that none of the original words of the sentence remain, someone will be able to follow up with their own sentence, which can be progressively altered.

The idea behind this is that eventually we may have a complete story, one that depending on what page you're on will look far different.

Let us start with our first sentence, which will not remain the same for long:

Grandma should come home in a couple of minutes.
