We planning an archipelago?

after you get your car

I got Factorio

archipelago?!

They were explaining it

big AP group game still TBD later during summer

Pika is free after the 19th

nice nice

so end of this month we could do one

Guys they're saying Rance is LGBTQ+Ultra. Is it true? Have you guys been playing a gay vn this whole time?

he literally canonically kills and beats gay men

Rance is the ultimate feminist though

There is one bisexual woman

thats the most LGBTQ+ Ultra I can think of

Wots all dis then

I have no idea, also pirate do not click this it is possibly a spoiler

Theyre saying Rance is gay, you cant do that! Its disgusting!

Very angry at this spoiler I didn't click

Since literally every time we mention Archipelago multiple people come out of the woodwork and express interest in doing another one, I will try to set the groundwork for doing one: For those of you who have no idea of what the hell that is, or want more info/access to what games and tools you will need, refer to this post https://discord.com/channels/723638993488576593/723638994189156429/1261783532389404684 I am locked down from doing anything until after the 19th (and I will be going back home for a month probably mid July, so if we are doing one it realistically either needs to be late/early July, or late august. Presumably weekends work best for people, so I will post a poll with what weekends work best for people. If you are interested at all, feel free to soft commit (we can add/remove people from the roster up to the last minute since we just have to generate a new randomizer seed). Time commitment we usually aim to balance around 3-5 hours, some people can go longer until they finish or give up, and if you have to leave early we can release your items so you do not have to feel bad about screwing everyone else over. As usual, anyone is welcome other than deaddog who is banned from AP after last time.

Also I will probably try rabi-ribi this time

I'll add, you don't need to be an expert on whatever it is you're running but you'll want to have tested out whatever game you're playing at least once beforehand (to make sure its setup correctly), and have a rough idea of how many checks there are in it that you've randomized

aim for ~4 hours to clear, and somewhere in the ballpark of 200 checks

Yeah, poptracker (linked in the post I linked to) is useful since even if you do not know every location in your game, it will help fill in the gaps (and tell you whats in logic)

(Also I am not really restricted to weekends, I just assumed that would work the best for most people)

i'm restricted to june any time

someone should play this https://github.com/MarioManTAW/jspaint

is archipelago friendslop?

see, i think it would be funny to play along, but i know I'm just going to end up locking other people out of their progression by being who i am

Rusp, speaking of friendslop

unless there's a game i actually know how to play and enjoy

polu, syren and I played this scrap collecting friendslop alpha

it was decent

remind me to tell you to try it when its out

impossible

wht was it called

I'll look into it

scraprunners

really creative name guys...

They have a lot of weird shit, I'd look at the list they have on their discord

Its kind of like risk of rain without items mixed with luigi's mansion vacuum mechanics with shooty gun fights with robots

alpha is kind of bare bones, but if they put in work, it could be decent

Right I forgot about the google doc, I'll add that to the pinned post

Some of these games feel like they would take significantly longer than others

Yes

You kind of have to pick reasonably, big RPG's are kind of hard to do for a group thing

also we can fine tune the settings to make everyone's games take closer

I’m feeling either a 3D Mario or one of the 64 Zeldas (shocking, I know)

you can do them asynchronously but we haven't done one yet

Hollowknight is a good example, where max settings there is like 2000 checks (spooky learned that the hard way), with reasonable settings, it is fine

vinny could do xenoblade x and have the same level of progression blocking as his oot run

As far as games I have tested personally and know work okay go: Mario 64 (annoying to setup, but works great), N64 zeldas (they are longer though) Mario kart 64 (adds funny barriers which make the game hard to play until someone finds the key to remove the barriers) Paper mario 64 (long, but its fine if you know the game)

I think those are all the ones I've done

minecraft is a good one

I think collectively we have played maybe 5% of the games they have

I think I'll probably just stick to pokemon emerald

that one is good too

Polu did Sonic Adventure 2 I think?

I know raccoons said he wanted to try psuedoregalia, which I think would work well, it has not that many checks, but they are spread apart

I think it would be fun to try Dark Souls 1. I'm pretty decent at the game, but I play it very slowly.

Max did a dark souls, I think 3?

DS3 sounds right

DS1 at least you won't really get blocked too hard by any bosses. DS3 is harder imo, especially if you have bad weapons.

Dark souls is funny because if you get an item from someone it overrights your previous item iirc, so you are stuck with whatever you have

oh gosh

Ok, but what if I did FlipWitch

I think flipwitch would be fine

having 100%'d that

Never heard of it

its porn

I'm not actually going to do that, I'm joking. I am surprised someone made an archipelago for it though.

the only people to my knowledge working on archipelago are degenerate trannies

(we have one in the server)
