Site Event Famiboards Pride Event - UPDATE: Now Ends July 31st!

[Suswave]

Do we have to make a new post or can we just update our older 'proof of accomplishment' post for these new bunch of badges?

whatever's easiest for you. We like new posts because they show continued signs of life in the event, but you can out as many as you like in a post!

(well, up to 30 images in one post — xenforo limit, I think)

Cashing in on quite a few at once; been going through a few games I already had installed on Switch (and one spare on PC):

• Capture the Flag
• Out of the Shadows
• Together Alone
• Strawb GET! (does this count for From Queer Creators, with Love too? i'll be playing more later in the month anyway if it doesn't)
• Unconscience (didn't newly complete the tutorial for this challenge, but I did a new run for the following; do all three still count)
• #47 Onward
• #9 Party

Spoiler

Good opportunity to replay Chicory later this month; don't think my playthrough on PC years ago will count, but I rebought it on Switch during a sale so i've been waiting for the opportunity anyway. I'll be making plenty of time for smaller indie games on Itch too!

Got around to replaying Chicory last week, so that's another one down for me:

Spoiler: This Colorful World

Glad the thread is going for another month; hasn't gone exactly as expected so it's nice to have more time to get around to more of these

New post it is, then!

Completed three achievements in my last, last post. So here's the new ones.

Spoiler: Questioning

Guess I completed this one?

Spoiler: Pink to Blue AND The Rainbow Pokémon (Pokemon Go)

Pokemon Go counts, right?

Spoiler: Ace Attorney (The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles)

The Great Ace Attorney

Spoiler: Unequivocally, Unilaterally, Undeniably Better than Sex (Bear and Breakfast)

I'm slightly surprised that there's no Garlic Bread in BOTW or TOTK

Spoiler: Estrogen Hunter (Metroid Dread)

Establishing Proof of Suswave

Today, I'm going to show you irrefutable proof that the off-screen Switch screenshots I show are indeed mine.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PROVIDE THIS LEVEL OF PROOF. I am bored and being silly.

We will not be especially strict, but it does give us a little bit of ease-of-mind if you post at least one off-screen screenshot with your username on a piece of paper next to your Switch or something.

Anything that shows a username or game name you like using also helps.

Again, we're not gonna be super strict. It's honor system here. Nintendo has made sharing screenshots easier with the Switch-to-Phone ad hoc network, and we want you to participate — so please, truly, whatever's easiest for you!

Just... please don't go around taking random screenshots from the internet or other users. That sucks.

I figured I'd snap one with my laptop:

I don't have much to say about Disco Elysium, other than it's a top 10 contender for me despite not being a CRPG person at all. It's just that good.

Spoiler: Homosexual Underground

Also, here's some photos of my Switch and Steam Deck showing the screenshots for the previous badges:

Spoiler: Pics

My partner and I are close to wrapping up Apollo Justice. I'm guessing that will be my next submission, unless I manage to sneak another short one before then.

For the life of me, I can't find a yellow button in Grögol Bonanza: Rambler's Apéritif. It's the only thing I have left to do in the game. Just want to ask, are the colors in any way random? Or maybe I've just missed it somewhere. I've found at least 3 red buttons...

Edit: I think I have to give up on finding yellow before I go crazy... I'll post what I've got.

Spoiler: Rainbow Clicker (minus yellow)

Spoiler: They're So Cool

Spoiler: Crimes of Fashion

Spoiler: Comforting Company

Spoiler: Ally of the Century

Spoiler: Horse Can Work This

Spoiler: No Cops at Pride

Spoiler: Bingo Bonanza

you've got the yellow one — you just missed one of the five orange ones from the lava bridge room!

Edit: and I think it's TOTALLY OKAY not to post that one because you literally had to press five of them to get where you got!

 

[Suswave]

i don't know why I was so determined to hurt my own feelings coming up with these badges...

This should work I think??????

Oh thank goodness! Glad to hear I was just having some trouble with discriminating color.

 

[Suswave]

no worries! everything being set in a dark-ish cave with bright orange lava meant positioning the switch colors against that... which does make some of them a little less distinguished!

 

[Suswave]

I also have to tell you that this made me cackle out loud

 

[Suswave]

I can't believe I proposed Disco Elysium badges and entirely forgot to include Ruby and Klaasje...

next round of community-suggested badges I'm adding them!

 

[Twohearts]

Hopefully I'll be home before end of July a d I'll be able to finish garden story. Been in hospital for 6 bloody weeks now and doctors are a bjt stumped but I'll get there. Just can't download games to my switch. Also getting Metroid dread in tomorrow so I'll work OM getting that oestrogen tank.

 

[shoptroll]

I got further on my second attempt at Grögol Bonanza: Rambler's Apéritif! (Also please forgive me for using Steam as a launcher / capture device for an itch.io game ) @Suswave This was really fun to poke around in for a couple hours tonight. I really enjoyed all the writing and music tracks you put together. I look forward to seeing where this goes next!

Spoiler: Unfortunately I'm stumped on a few things

1. I got through the maze but never found the purple button? I'm guessing that's optional? I'll have to try again later.
2. I got as far as Shorenuff but I can't seem to pass a body of water because I need Floaties. Is that the end of the demo content?
3. Where do I find the fridge? Or the cop?

Badge claims:

Spoiler: Proof of shoptroll

Spoiler: Crimes of Fashion

(I hope this counts even though I didn't capture the text boxes)

1. Once you get the Dashing Boots, you can go back down to the lava-bridge area and gap-dash some little islets to a cave door surrounded by small grass. Seek the northwest corner.

You'll find what you seek in there, and if you fiddle around, you'll find much more than you bargained for.

2. Floaty Time will have to wait. No floaties in this demo, at least! The wheaty outskirts are as far north as you can go... for now.

3. If you figure out what the purple switch does, you'll almost definitely find one or more fridges.

Agent Grunt is at the center of the maze in Shorenuff — one direction takes you to the apartments / boutiques while the other takes you his way.

Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

No worries about Steam as launcher, that's totally okay.

I hope the notes above give you some directions to go if you choose to! You've definitely covered most of it, and I don't want you to get burnt out — but if you're craving more, the tips above will get you a fairly hefty increase in visitable rooms and @Raccoon dialogue.

I can't say enough how much I love this lmao

You have the best line I've read in any game all year

Looks like another dive into Bonanza is in order then this weekend/early next week

1. Once you get the Dashing Boots, you can go back down to the lava-bridge area and gap-dash some little islets to a cave door surrounded by small grass. Seek the northwest corner.

I knew I should've listened to my instincts and doubled-back into the maze after I got those boots. That's a really nice classic design flourish to see!

Agent Grunt is at the center of the maze in Shorenuff — one direction takes you to the apartments / boutiques while the other takes you his way.

Ah, I didn't fully explore that maze. Good to know. Thank you!

EDIT: Also want to add, and I hope you appreciate this, but the mazes and puzzles so far give me some major OFF vibes. Not sure if that’s intentional or not.

I really love hidden paths and things you might not catch the first time!

I think, earnestly, once I'm finished... a good 80% or more of the game is going to be optional. Rewarding! But optional.

Oh, and just to be sure — it's not in the darkest, maze-iest part. There are some things you can get but it's essentially bonus items. The path you want is technically in the same room you got the boots in!

Ah, I didn't fully explore that maze. Good to know. Thank you!

Very reasonable, and somewhat intended! Given the lack of save system, I figured people would be a bit tired by that point, so it's definitely set up to be easily avoidable.

In the game itself, the more literal "mazes" are much further apart. Don't want to give people maze fatigue, y'know?

EDIT: Also want to add, and I hope you appreciate this, but the mazes and puzzles so far give me some major OFF vibes. Not sure if that’s intentional or not.

I don't think I even know what that is! Please tell me more!
