Congratulations, Puzz! What’s your degree in?

thank you!! i now have a masters of arts in museum studies as well as a teaching certificate!

#anonymous puzzler answers #gavternoon #i'm not like actively seeking out teaching as my Main Career but it's nice to have the option as i look for work.

what’s one character or group from SLARPG that you weren’t expecting to be as popular as they are?

I'll put this below a read more for spoilers

I would say Harmony, but... no, I knew what I was doing there lmao. I'm not surprised she has her fans. She may be a parasitic manifestation of Melody's inner self-loathing who only appears in three scenes, but she's also Evil Goth Melody. She's hot. I know she's hot. I designed her to be hot. I simply could not resist the opportunity to use that sort of design somewhere

Beyond her, I'm not really sure! It's mostly the main cast I see a lot of love for, which makes sense. I'm not sure there are any minor supporting characters who randomly blew up

I guess there are a few major characters who I worried people wouldn't like as much as I do, and I was glad to see people liked them after all. I'm glad people like Zinnia a lot. She's very obviously one of my pet characters, and I'm glad she left an impression on people even though she doesn't have a ton of screentime. I'm also relieved that people came out the other side of the game still loving Claire, since it's VERY easy for people to find characters like her annoying or unworthy of forgiveness. And when so much of the emotional arc of the game hinges on Claire, that can become a source of stress lol

There are also a few supporting characters who I think are really great that I'm surprised have seen less of a response from the audience, but I can't really complain. Like, yeah, there are a few NPCs I would love to see more fanart of, but for a smalltime dev in my position it's a miracle that ANY of my game's characters have gotten as much fanart as they've gotten

do you know if the tympani slam jumpscare for if you stay idle in the Grizzco lobby for too long during Big Run is new, or if I’m the only one to have noticed it so far?

hmm, i dont know whats changed between updates but i do remember something similar in the past so i think it's been there for a while

What are your thoughts on Bonerattle Arena? Or Side Order? Or Riot Act? Or just this season of Splatoon 3 as a whole

CHRIST SORRY THIS ENDED UP IN MY DRAFTS AND I SPACEDO UT BADLY

looks up like an animal caught eating from a carcass with face covered in visera prlz

shout out to Frankie and Bugs bc the two of em bought Side Order for me

OHGHGHGHGHHGHGH SIDE ORDER

im working on clearing out the prlz store. i just have to to take breaks bc it turns out i forget to blink during levels. this tires my eyes after 2 runs. edit: successfully cleared out prlz store.

interesting note, i can do full clears of Side Order in a similar amount of time as Hades runs! each full run is about 30 minutes, i wonder if thats normal for rougelites i really should play more of them

overall i've been having just an IMMENSE amount of fun with Side Order and it makes me wanna both play more splatoon and more roguelites in general. once i have a computer up and running, i really wanna get back to playing warframe so i can mess with the roguelite mode they put in there, i think that'll help me get back into it. edit: COMPUTER BUILT AND RUNNING but i think i gotta do other changes so i can like, get back to streaming bc i'm running into issues with the OS we had on hand

there's a lot of fun stuff this season in splatoon! iunno if i have much meaningful to say about it all?? i frankly mostly play salmon run and now side order so the whole. rest of the game i have to be really hankering to play it or with friends.

#gavternoon #asks #ask #also hi my laptop wasnt repairable so ive been having to learn how to build a desktop. #its. scary lol trying to balance cost + beign able to stream reliably #it doesnt help that i keep forgetting the games i fucking play like as oon as i try to remember my memory wipes itself #edit: i think i wrote most of this like 2 fucking months ago im so sorry im so bad at answering asks

[facefullabugz]

I saw that you’re getting back into Adventure Time! Have you played any of the games yet? Specifically, the older ones by WayForward.

I haven't! I was always curious about them though. I still get the 'Hey Ice King, Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?' ad theme stuck in my head sometimes

Oh hey, congrats on 400 YouTube subs! Got any plans for that? Like a voice reel or comic dubs or somethin? Or just the vods?

WGHERE DID YUO ALL COME FROM

#gavternoon #anonymous puzzler answers #400 of yous..... #probably youtube will remain mostly vods but i've intentionally left it open to whatever the hell i end up working on #comic dubs maybe... that could be fun....... #VA reels probably not just cause that's not something i'm interested in pursuing professionally in any way #(though friends are always welcome to ask me to do sonic attacks) #who knows... who knows what will come....

Hmm… Would the trio do well on Snaktooth Island from Game of The Year 2020 Bugsnax? And what would their ridiculous Grumpus names be?

couldn't stop thinking about this all day thanks

#anonymous puzzler answers #anonymous puzzler art #anonymous puzzler originals #villain coded comic #gavternoon #bugsnax #they would Barely survive but also as with all the grumpuses they would speedrun their Character Growth Arcs by necessity #so who's to say if it's bad or good.

[anonymouspuzzler]

Any last hopes for Side Order? Just a week away!

GAY WOMEN

#anonymous puzzler answers #gavternoon #ugh i'm so excited for side order. genuinely whatever they throw at me i will probably enjoy #also hi everyone i got a cold :( i'm vibin out here

[anonymouspuzzler]

If the trio was in Slarpg what creachers would they be

well you see they are two bears and an otter and by happy coincidence I think that would suit them in SLARPG also

#anonymous puzzler answers #gavternoon #anonymous puzzler art #anonymous puzzler originals #villain coded comic #they would be so funny in SLARPG world because like they'd still be villains. #but i don't think they'd have any magic whatsoever and I think they'd be so small scale and pathetic the novas would feel sorry for them

[anonymouspuzzler]

how long is the list of characters that have two hands for both you and holly?

Unclear. samus mostly comes to mind which is funny because she explicitly Does Not have two hands & also we are fighting over the cannon arm specifically. we both wanna hold the cannon

Do any of Minnie’s teachers like her? And does Buck show up to parent-teacher conferences?

Minnie's teachers have run the gamut from "likes her fine enough but wish she would apply herself more/stop missing so many classes all the time", "completely ambivalent", "annoyed", and "trying to suck up to her bigshot superhero parents by proxy". She hasn't gone to school proper since running away to live with Buck - she ran off during her spring break, and since then has been doing self-driven online college class type things off and on - so Buck hasn't had an opportunity or reason to go to any parent-teacher conferences so far. If they were in a situation where his guardianship was more official and Minnie was going to school... well, honestly, Davey would probably have to prod him into it.

#anonymous puzzler answers #gavternoon #villain coded comic #anonymous puzzler originals #buck did not have a Pleasant Schooling Experience so he still kinda gets avoidant and jittery around them. #I imagine Minnie was also going to hoity toity private schools before running away and like i wasn't a private school kid but i Heard Shit.

Nimona is free on YouTube! What do you think of the movie? Why do you think this has happened?

I haven't actually seen it because I don't have funny netflix! (I actually don't have Most streaming services these days, for a number of reasons.) very much been meaning to watch it, though, so It's Free On Youtube is very likely going to be how that happens. iirc it's up for at least a few awards rn, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's free on YouTube as part of the related marketing push to drum up buzz and get more folks to see it - that happens sometimes when movies n such hit the awards circuit

#anonymous puzzler answers #could be reason of Other as well there are multiple explanation and i aint work for them so i don't know. #gavternoon

Are you ok are you good are you perchance doing normal on this AUSPICIOUS DAYYYY

please imagine me just barely waking up before the direct to watch it with my wife, being so exhausted and groggy and miserable, regretting not just watching the vod later, and then pogging off harder than a human ought be capable of when the Literal First Thing was Side Order Footage and was ALL OF THAT. please then imagine me immediately falling back asleep after the direct, groggily half waking up to get ready for work an hour later, sitting in bed looking at my phone, not comprehending anything, and then suddenly my eyes snapped completely open and and I completely regained consciousness and screamed "WHERE IS MARINA"

#which is to say yeag yeah im.doing SO normal rn #anonymous puzzler answers #gavternoon #side order gonna kill me in one shot on every possible level god DAMN #SPLAT ROGUELIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[anonymouspuzzler]

I am. Astonished at how many “Funny Little Guys With Lore”- type games you also enjoy. Splatoon. Bugsnax. Pokémon. Spore. And now Pikmin. I don’t know if this says something about me or not but I am so glad people are liking little guys

i'm just a little guy and i like other little guys!! what else is there to say...

#anonymous puzzler answers #gavternoon #i also tend to enjoy games where you have to Dig or Interpret a little for the Lore ya know? #stuff where you deciding you're committed to the game is rewarded with you getting to know more about it #you don't Have to engage to enjoy it. but if you choose to dig they will give you something to dig up. do you Understand

[anonymouspuzzler]
