games

(Sorry fire, I already know you are not getting one, it never fucking lets me)

it's okay, I'll just pretend i got something really cool from you

Pika DO NOT worry bro

I got you a banger

I hope you got him the DLC for Kidnapped Girl

I got him the long awaited sequel to a game he played earlier this year

Rusp

you will legitimately love what I got you

I know its everything you have dreamed of doing this year

that said, I already know Polu's gift for you mogs mine

Oh boy I hope it's Alan parkour 2

Oh right i forgot to buy games for people this year

Not sure how im topping bean battles tho, that game was actually good

Completed Castlevania (NES), Pocky & Rocky, Ducktales Remastered, and I just barely managed to finish 100%ing Jak & Daxter before the year was out

Of that list of games, I think Jak & Daxter was the best game of those four, Pocky & Rocky was subjectively my favourite NES/SNES game I played this year

is there any interest in doing another archipelago next week?

I'm not sure what my week looks like yet, but I'd probably be available

Not possible

(for me)

I am not back in kingston until at least the 3rd

I might be free. I've been grinding DS3 to do an archipelago with some friends, still only at 6 hours though. Trying to get that time down to make it a more feasible game.

did i do my ds3 one in under 6 hours

it could be an async this time

appearnetly i did

it in like 5 hours

that sounds abt right

someone should make one for DS2

that game actually has like

keys

You finished vaguely earlier than most of us

so that does sound about right

and like 8 different routes of progression

DS2 is also significantly longer

not really

you can skip most of DS2

if u get all 4 lord souls

and king ring

thats all you need

I suppose that's true

you need 5 items to beat th egame

or

1 item and 1million souls

lol

DS2 is the most freeform and has the most key items that can block progression but arent needed

its the best for a rando compared to ds3 which has actually genuinely like 3 keys int he entire game

ds1 also works i can think of a few fun things that you could do

biggest issue is possiblity of being soft locked in londo

ds3 just doesnt have much you can progression jump around

The DS1 randomizer said it wasn't stable, so I haven't looked into it

Could you have the bells be checks in DS1? That would make it interesting

I sure do wish there was a currated list that was not some stupid google sheet, and not a discord channel

man, if only that was possible

but alas, those are the only two options for knowing what games they have in the works/working

Also, if we do an async, I might try Fire Emblem since that was on the list haha

FRLG map randomizer is neat but i don't think that would be short enough for a synchronous session

no? I've only done Emerald map randos, but those can be pretty quick

well maybe it would be fine

Fire Emblem would be a cool archipelago
