DD #45: “Lucasarts presents: True Detective”
Anyone play Day of the Tentacle or Grim Fandango? Tim Schafer is the man. Oh, and True Detective was good too.
Star Farm (Sierra On-Line, 1986).
Happy splatfest! I played a bunch of Splatoon 2 today while also watching a stream of Battle Brothers. So here’s a mashup of those. Please enjoy tactical squid com-splat.
I’ve been enjoying Splatoon a whole lot. The core loop of ‘battle -> get cash -> buy clothes -> repeat’ is very enticing! I love a good dress-up game. I’ve only just started to dip my toes into Salmon Run, as my interest in the Turf War starts to wane (splatfests aside). I had very little interest in ranked until recently– I got really into ARMS’s ranked mode for a couple weeks, which has rekindled my interest in it for Splatoon.
Battle Brothers’ tactical-minis fighting seems pretty neat! Unfortunate that the writing seems to be on that low-fantasy “it’s not realistic if women have agency” bullshit. All in all I’m happy to watch streams of it rather than play it myself.
As an aside– I think a splatoon tactics game could be really cool, although I don’t know that battle brothers’ approach is *quite* the right fit. Battle brothers is really focused on formations (as far as I’ve seen) while Splatoon has a big focus on using your colored turf to increase your mobility (swimmin’ as a squid, super jumps)

I will never stop posting Link’s Awakening-adjacent content on this site. Shout-outs to Nintendo Wire for producing this video demonstrating what the Switch release could look and sound like on a Game Boy Color:
If you’ve somehow missed it, make sure to check out this ambitious Breath of the Wild mod that allows you to explore the world as Zelda – this one will actually be playable eventually!
