speaking of dreams and being queer

i had a melatonin-fueled dream while I was camping that was narratively dense and culminated in desperately trying to shoot a multiplying full moon with an arrow

and I feel like the (very trans, media-critical) “plot” of the dream would be very lost to most of my friends and comrades on this here board

but I’ve had an itch at the back of my mind to adapt it into a game

i’m… just not sure what the fuck that looks like

like it’d have to be part visual novel, part dating sim, part very experimental minigame, part… I don’t even fucking know

I could just make an involved comic, or a screenplay, or do any other chill thing

or let it just be a dream

but it was… it was fucking wild and I don’t even know how to begin describing it

My immediate thought involved the Queen of Spades, so maybe I just have had card games on my mind lately :p

But that game sounds like it'd be pretty rad if you can get a handle on what you'd like to do with it!
 
TOTK gives me the same feeling as visiting your hometown or your old college after not having been for a few years. Things look similar for the most part but the things that are new to you stick out. The people have lived full lives without your absence. Some people got married. Some had kids. Some moved. Some personalities have slightly changed. I think other media try to capture this feeling as well. They have even sort of done it before in the Zelda series with Ocarina of of Time. You awaken 7 years later to a world that has changed. But that all takes place in the same game and so this change is instantaneous to both you and Link. With TOTK, the time between it and BOTW in game feels like the same amount of time between the release of BOTW and TOTK in the real world.

I may not understand it, but don't let it be a dream. However it may manifest itself as a novella, comic script, or game, this sounds incredibly captivating.

Yeah I played the demo and thought it was fun.

Dunno when I’m going to play it though… currently playing LAD: Ishin!

And in the backlog: Ni No Kuni II, Persona 3 Portable, Baten Kaitos 1 + 2 HD, Lost Judgement, Soul Hackers 2, RE Village DLC, Persona 4 Golden and now Stranger of Paradise 😅
 
I have gaming fatigue. Or rather, playing games fatigue. Because I love reading stuff on games and watching videos. I just can't be bothered playing them for weeks now. And it's perfectly fine, I suspect it'll come back eventually 🙂

Gonna call all the video game companies and tell them to not release games in 2024, that's the only way you'll be able to deal with such a backlog

So you’re saying you need a rest, amirite


Maybe you can also call companies to let us get paid leave so we can put our precious time into games

I think yeah. Still like to hang here a lot and read up on gaming news though. I have to be careful not to shitpost to much though :)
 
Doing a peloton ride ant lunch and Robyn is playing during the climb section. Probably the perfect artist for this.

if y’all keep egging me on, i’ll keep fuckin’ doing things!! you’re playing with fire here!!

it’d be an extremely difficult plot to pull off

I feel like mechanically I could keep it kind of simple yet intriguing but. plot execution would be extremely tricky…

Most of my crazy dreams I'd liken to maybe a cheesy 2 hour action movie, this seems like a 12 season anime or something.

it felt like I was asleep for a very, very long time
 
Most of my dreams involve me back in high school or college, bumping into people I haven't seen in forever, and forgetting to study for a test or do a project. That's it. I didn't really have any major issues in school that would leave a traumatic experience. Just mundane shit in my dreams that make glad I don't have to do things like study for tests anymore.

I do have the occasional dream where I'm at work and the next day, I ask my boss if I can count the hours looking at his face in my dreams towards my working hours and always says no.
 
When I was a kid we had this portrait of a creepy bearded guy in the house and I always had nightmares about him showing up and like me being vacuum-drawn towards him.

The worst was when I would wake up from the dream in a dream, so I thought I was awake but was actually still dreaming and my computer would turn on as I walked by it and start talking to me.

Also had a recurring dream about running and hiding from gangs of roving cannibals who were always just brandishing forks and knives which is a hilarious image now looking back
 
My dreams are notoriously pedestrian. Dreams like: going to the grocery store. Having a bowl of soup. Drinking a coffee. Nothing weird or anything. My dreams are always just.. me doing stuff I’d normally do.

Yeah this is how I generally dream now. Every now and then I'll get one about being unprepared for an exam I'm walking into or doing some Bond-esque secret mission but most of the time it's just cooking, doing laundry, sometimes just browsing the internet, ridiculously mundane stuff.

I think I need to do more drugs.
 
Y'know, I sometimes have dreams that involve pulling clumps of gum out of my mouth as it endlessly expands and continues to fill it. I wonder what that's about.

Seems like bad timing to me to return to regular posting with people shit-talking Crash over nothing.

But hey, glad that the acquisition story is over.

-- I played Super Mario Bros. Wonder at the Brasil Game Show yesterday, it's cool! I also played Sonic Superstars... the level played itself.

That's it. Until next time 🐾

What was your favorite moment on Famiboards? It could be a specific thread, an event, or a particular interaction you had. For our new members, use this week to make some memories worth sharing!

I finally thought of mine! I tried to think back all week, but it only hit me this evening while wondering what song, or kind of music, Nintendo will use for the reveal of their next platform.

For those who may not remember the context, allow me to set the stage. It is July 2022. Attempting in equal measure to manifest my dreams and to troll, I had spent the quiet summer pushing the narrative that the new console was just around to corner. The fervor was intense. Then, directly ahead of the anniversary of the OLED model announcement, master speculator @LukasManak22 discovered that said announcement video had totally disappeared from YouTube. Many tried to brush this off as being related to music licensing, but some of us felt The Vibe. Since we obviously didn't get a new Switch, it's easy to forget that Lukas was right! On the exact anniversary date we got the announcement of the Splatoon 3 model, and the original announcement's return months later implies that it was in fact an effort in SEO.

That, in my mind, is the beauty of Famiboards speculation: even when we're totally wrong, we're 100% right.
 
My dreams lately have been like:

As many times as I've been to Vegas, I haven't gambled once. The restaurants are amazing, the architecture is amazing, the shows are amazing... there's so much to do in Vegas without gambling. The buffets alone are stellar, ant they literally have kiosks around the strip where you can look at schedules for all the live shows happening all across the city. Just getting out and walking around (away from the machines 😅) can be an adventure out there.
 
I’ve never dreamt about doing ordinary things before. My dreams are a melting pot of deep-seated fears, unkindled desires and endlessly flowing streams of speculative fiction. Sometimes it’s like binging a full anime series!
