While looking back at the previous version of "Remembered Eternity", I remembered one of the explanations in "In Stars and Time".


For context, in "In Stars and Time", one of the things that the main character Siffrin does at the beginning of the game is make a wish at the Favor Tree to be there for his friends once the quest to defeat the King is done. What he doesn't know is that previously, the population of Velgarde also made a mass wish to the Favor Tree, wishing for the King's defeat.


However, this ends up creating a major issue: Siffrin's wish to be with his friends ends up conflicting with the wish to save Velgarde as, once the King is defeated, the group make plans to go on their separate ways. This means that the King cannot be defeated without the group being together - thus anything that would split the group apart would break the wish -, but the moment the King is defeated, the group would break up, which would break Siffrin's wish. Therefore, Siffrin ends up in a time loop over two days where he can alter events during the loop, but the final result remains the same until either both conditions are met and the cycle ends, or one condition is not met and the cycle repeats itself.


A similar issue is happening in the "Upon a Star" series. Before Medierth, several wishes were made, each of them contradicting one another:

- Roger Evans' wish for the people he loves to be saved;

- Mark Silnorov's wish for the world to be saved;

- Anna Evans' wish for their family to be happy together;

- Elizabeth Evans' wish for her mother to die, which later changes to her wishing to be protected from him;

and so on.


This ends up causing a series of contradictions that end up creating Medierth:

- Roger Evans and 'the people he loves' become the Planars;

- Remnants of the Old World still exist (the 'Black Eggs' - nukes - and Lupa's weapon collection);

- "Melody" dying after the world's change and Merit taking over Reveen temporarily, leading to Lupa killing him off later... which goes against Asuna's wish;

- Dawn and Asha being later born... to become Lupa and Asuna's new selves.


In "Remembered Eternity", there is several contradictions that remain:

- Melody is alive, but so is Karyana... though Karyana's is one foot in the grave due to overuse of 'Second Genesis'.

- The remnants of the Old World were previously used to destroy Medierth...


And there is also Keith's wish to take Karyana and have Demyan - who is the last incarnation of Reveen's essence - die.


And with Panyus now part of Karyana, it honestly feels like, should the smallest thing go out of line, the timeline would shatter - something that nearly happened in "In Stars and Time" after Siffrin nearly goes insane and becomes sick due to overuse of magic and the constant loops, having to use all of his power into one last wish to break the cycle.


The issue I unfortunately see happening? Even if Karyana does what Keith / the Anarch wants her to do, should Merit's own wish happen, there will be no way for her to save Medierth...

I'm honestly surprised by how much traction the game "Buckshot Roulette" has had since it released. A simple game that's ridiculously cheap and available on Steam... with some heavy implications.


Not much of a story, but enough to make something. The player begins in the bathroom of a seedy place - a bar, perhaps, or a studio - and after prepping himself (I will use 'him' for now, as we don't see the character at all) walks into a room where a strange smiling figure with needle-like teeth called "The Dealer" welcomes you to his game and has you sign a waiver of liabilities.


The game is as simple as it gets: the Dealer loads a series of bullets - live shells and duds (which he calls 'blanks') in random order, and both the player and "The Dealer" take turns shooting the shotgun. Each has a particular number of 'hits' they can take before losing, with the number changing every round... and the number of shells changing as well.


Starting on the second round, you can tell that things are going dark when you and "The Dealer" are given a box of items you can pull from at each reload of the gun. First off, you find a bloodied waiver signed with "God" in its name... which gives the impression that God played the game and lost. As for the items, they are:

- A pack of cigarettes, which help the turn player recover one 'hit';

- A can of beer, which allows the turn player to remove one shell from the shotgun;

- A set of handcuffs, which forces the opponent to skip a turn;

- A magnifying glass, to see what the next shell will be; and

- A switch-blade with a metal saw, to cut the barrel of the shotgun, allowing you to inflict double damage if you fire a successful shot.


With each item received at random and "The Dealer" receiving an equal amount (but different) items, you have to strategize on the fly to win.


Should the player get shot, a cardiac stimulation will snap the player back to his senses. Should the player lose the round, however, the player will need a blood transfusion and will be forced to restart from scratch.


On the third and final round, things become deadly. Four items each round, and up to 8 shells per round. Plus, if you or "The Dealer" take too much damage, the emergency aid will cease entirely, meaning that the next shot either take will be fatal. Lose, and you end up in a shattered form of 'Heaven', which black spikes and ashes filling the air. Win, and you leave with the gun and a suitcase of money, with the amount starting at 70,000$ and decreasing at every item used and shots fired.


The latest update also allows a "Rush Mode" by taking pain killers. You only have one life to complete all three rounds, will have more items and bullets per round, and will be asked to "Double or Nothing" should you survive.


Aside from the slight eerieness of this game of Russian Roulette, I wouldn't exactly call it a "horror" game. But it does approach the topic of gaming addiction... and how most addictions lead to death.

Fed up

2 min read

Woke up with a sore back and right shoulder.

Had the runs this morning.

Had to cover for a guy who didn't show up all week.

My work schedule was altered again, but was screwed up.

My driver's permit is on hold because of a lost payment since May 16th, and I only for the paper yesterday.

My computer crashes at least five times every morning or buffers when I am online or play Master Duel.

Had to wait for a guy who parked behind my car to move before I could leave.

Got a 1200$ dental surgery next Friday.

Need to get an appointment for the COVID and Flu shots.

My latest PixAI attempts have all been failures.

I can't get a word across at home or story-wise.

And I have no pleasure in gaming, writing or looking up anything online.


I don't want to hear about Erotic Role-Play, haters, spammers or people me when I'll restarting doing "Deviant" pictures - requests or commissions.

I've got half a mind of scrapping my old pictures... and maybe even starting "Remembered Eternity" over.


Either let me do things the way I want, give me something I actually want to work with... or just leave me alone.

Don't.

I keep getting Notes of the like, and I'm sick of them. If you ever see messages like this in your stuff:


"I hope all is okay with you. I just got the chance to visit your incredible collection of art, and I was truly moved by each and every one of your original creations. Given your exceptional talent, I'm writing to you with a suggestion.I'd be pleased to create a unique piece of art in your honor utilizing my personal style. I'm happy to talk over the details. I go by the handles [DeniseGraphics1] and [laidyzainth] on Twitter and Discord, respectively.I sincerely hope you will accept my invitation, and I am excited about the possibility of collaborating with you to produce something truly exceptional. Your thoughts on this matter are highly anticipated."


Just mark them as Spam and delete them.

While watching SMii7Y's channels, I noticed him playing some oddball games. One of them looked a bit like "The Stanley Parable" in its brand of humor, but the game is as simple as it is curious.


"The Corridor" starts off very simple: a corridor, a door, a button to press at the end. However, the moment you press it, the narrator makes it clear that he does NOT want you to keep playing and will shut the game down immediately after. However, this is just start of the game.


Throughout the many different attempts to reach the orange button, the narrator will try his hardest to discourage you from playing. Whether it is by inverting the controls or graphics, making the gameplay choppy, spam hundreds of buttons or put you in situations that would feel out of place in such a simple game (a dating sim with the button, a shooter game where the narrator disses you for shooting the one soldier, or even put you in an infinite corridor), the narrator will make it clear that he DOES NOT want you to keep playing.


However, if you sneak around a bit and find some out-of-place areas, you actually mean a cardboard man who WANTS you to keep going. And as you keep playing, you soon find out why: the Narrator is depressed. He does not see the value in his own works, and does not understand why you insist on playing. It's only by pressing forward that you can help him see the value of his simple-yet-complex game... and of himself.


The game is short - about an hour's worth for a completionist - and even comes with a "Content Creator mode" for those who want to see more content... and get dissed by the Narrator for posting Youtube videos of the game instead of encouraging him by buying it.


And at 2.59$, it's worth walking to the button again and again...
