The Heights of Londo [OOC 2] - What? OOC is evolving!

[Comissar]

Man, remember Pokémon Pinball? Never completed that game, but remember having a lot of fun with it as a kid.

[tgva8889]

Oh yeah, I played the second one for GBA a lot! Pokemon did some real wacky stuff.

[Hazuki]

I've never heard of it. I think the most niche Pokemon game I've played is one of the Mystery Dungeons where I tried to play as a Charmander to get over my dislike of Charizard but I stopped playing so it didn't work out.

[Comissar]

Turns out Leah knows her way around a pinball machine! Assuming we're not doing golf rules for it, of course

And yeah, pokémon pinball came out around the same time as the pokémon TCG for the gameboy. Being a pokémon nerd in my youth, I did my best to get basically all the pokémon related games as a kid, even the weirder ones. I was really sad to miss out on Colloseum and Snap due to not having an N64.

[Hazuki]

I can't relate because I got into gaming in about 2010, so most of my experience of older stuff is...retroactive, I guess?

Are you planning to buy the new Pokemon Snap?

[Hazuki]

Also **** I forgot to roll.

[Comissar]

I don't currently have a switch, so if I did I'd need to buy one first

It does look really cool! But I'm not sure I can justify a new console for it, sadly.

[Hazuki]

Oh, right, I think you mentioned that before, actually. I don't think I've used my Switch in a few months, last thing I played was probably Hades?

[tgva8889]

I did end up getting the new Pokemon Snap for Switch, mostly because everyone in my household wanted to try it so seemed worth getting a copy.

I'm very out of the loop on new game releases these days, quick google tells me it's some kind of Dungeon crawler? Any good?

Nice! Enjoying it so far?

Imagine I asked what Comissar did!

Yep. It's a Roguelite (You restart the game when you die, but there are new story beats every time you do and you keep certain advancements) with great characters, designs, music, graphics, story, etc. Very popular.

[tgva8889]

Haven't had much time to play it lately, but I'll get around to it! Been being distracted by many other things in my life.

Ah cool, I do like that kind of design philosophy. Get as far as you can, get rewards to help you get further next time. Gives a nice, simple gameplay loop and rewards skill as well as just buying all the upgrades.

Fair, let us know how it is once you do get a chance

Hopefully the distractions aren't too severe!

[tgva8889]

Nah, mostly just work and lack of sleep preventing me from getting the motivation to do much more than veg on Youtube. I should definitely play more games or do something, though; I have quite a few games I want to play (and also several other things to work on, I have signed myself up for quite a few projects)

[Hazuki]

Hope you can find some time to get some sleep sooon.

[Hazuki]

Oh, Leah is Player 1/the winner, just in case that wasn't clear.

[Comissar]

Some news! I've had my first covid jab today! Excited to finally be getting the vaccine, but while I feel fine currently, I might end up getting wiped out by it for a couple days, so if my post rate drops abruptly that's why

[Hazuki]

Nice! Thanks for letting us know.

[Comissar]

Wasn't sure if Juno was sitting or standing, was gonna have Leah sit beside her as she offered comfort if she was sitting down

[Hazuki]

I think we're at a natural timeksip point for this Juno scene, but Alyssa looks like she'll be busy for a little while yet. Do you want to do something else in this scene, have Juno and Leah go somewhere else, or maybe have Leah go somewhere else by herself?

[Comissar]

I'm alright with skipping forward for Leah, I imagine she'd be happy to spend a bit more time playing games with Juno, though I don't know that we'd get much more that's different to what's already happened with that. Once they wrap up at the arcade, Leah would probably want to check in if Juno wanted to spend more time with company or not, possibly to the point of inviting her back to the rented room/heading to Juno's own place if the offer were to be extended. I'm not too sure what Leah would do by herself atm, her goals right now are to try and get Juno in a better place, and to try and get back on better terms with Sass.

[tgva8889]

Sorry for my delays, I've been pulled back to work in the office so I have to adjust to that.

[Hazuki]

Not a problem, dude. Hope your settling back in goes smoothly.

[tgva8889]

My desktop computer at home just went out, so that was annoying. Still have my laptop working so not much to my abilities, but it was a draining experience trying to fix.

[Comissar]

Little fun fact, Macha's injury happened a little over 5 years ago in real time!

[Hazuki]

That's pretty long ago, huh. She'll be all grown up now!

[tgva8889]

Not an event in itself to celebrate but wow we have been enjoying each other's company for a while now!

[Comissar]

Wasn't quite sure how to make a 'Leah accepts the hug' post interesting, so just a brief sentence-worth of a post.

[Hazuki]

Short posts are perfectly fine sometimes.

[tgva8889]

I don't always have brain space for long posts.
