Curate of Curiosities

Not only have I ended a war, just like in The Reconstruction, but have managed to save the whole universe, even though it doesn't seem to need saving, thus putting an end to the main story. If there were two Lessers on a surface world, and one of them killed the other with a rock, would that be fucked up or what?

Like with last episode, episode 4 is going to be a two-parter. Now that we don't have a client breathing down our necks, we have the time to really get to know our teammates (and perhaps romance one of them?)

Just wrapped up episode 3, where the game finally remembers that it's supposed to be a prequel, and we defy our client's orders to commit mass murder.

On the continuing adventures of Ros Ouranos and the Inquiry crew, looks like we've, um, got a new corporation to help with their errands.

And here's the second half of episode two, where one of our party members has their intellectual property stolen by an unscrupulous tech company! Wait a minute, this game's from the early 2010s. How on earth did it manage to predict the modern Big Tech environment?

And that's episode two finished, but there's quite a bit going on there, so I decided to make it a two-parter. In the first half, we get hired by Space Google, and I make another forced reference to an ancient Something Awful meme.

Sorry I couldn't update sooner, but like I said before, I've managed to finish the first episode of I Miss The Sunrise with minimal issues. Now with more gameplay footage than the first chapter of my Reconstruction playthrough from a while back!

It took a bit of finagling with the game files, but I managed to get I Miss The Sunrise to work with Linux. There are a few bugs, but I should be able to play it all the way through.

So, regarding the no doubt thrilling prequel to The Reconstruction, I did actually get to play through the prologue back when I was using Windows. Sadly, that's as far as I'll be able to go.

Since I've already finished The Reconstruction, yet can't seem to get it's prequel to run at full speed with Wine, I've decided to go back to the very beginning, and show off some things that I missed about Rehm and his irrelevant gang.

Like I said, at least one of Dragoon Entertainment's games is now beatable with Vita3K, so after a hiatus of more than half a year it's time to go back to Canada's most tenacious solo dev.

Just published my final thoughts on Always Sometimes Monsters. I hope it's the last time that I play through an artsy RPG Maker game like this.

On a more pleasant note, a number of the programs that I had with Windows work on Linux with Wine, The Reconstruction being one of them. So here are a couple of memes that I made back when I beat it a few months ago.

So, you may have noticed that I've been a bit slow with the updates recently. That's because I've spent the last couple of weeks preparing to make the switch to Linux Mint! However, since this is a whole other operating system that we're dealing with, things will be greatly affected going forward. In the meantime, here are some screenshots I took with the Vita emulator that I mentioned earlier.

And that's another RPG Maker game finished. You know, maybe we really are Always Sometimes Monsters.

February 16, 2026

Wrapped up town number three of Always Sometimes Monsters. It was tough getting through it, but now the end is within sight. What else will our hero do in his quest to crash his ex's wedding? Certainly not mistake a dog food bowl for a toilet, right?

Another thing: I decided to go back to Taming Dreams and see if I couldn't find a way to play through episode 3. It turns out that you can access your Google account, and anything that you've purchased with it, with Bluestacks. Saving's still out of the question, though.

February 2, 2026

Just finished the second town in Always Sometimes Monsters, featuring Vagabond Dog's attempts to broach the subjects of both the two-party system and income inequality! Huh, seems like we're already halfway through the game. This will not take as long as my writeup of The Reconstruction.
