Commodore 64

Aika kulttiylihypetetty alusta, sillä hyvät pelit ovat harvassa. Laadukasta musiikkia riittää, kyllä, mutta niin tekee kaikilla muillakin koneilla.

* Law of the West: "Gamblin' is the devil's way to poverty." Uraauurtava ja edelleen ainutlaatuinen seikkeilupelien pioneeri. Vaikka syvyyttä ei hirveästi ole ja kestoa löytyy se 10 minuuttia, on piste- ja dialogipuusysteemin ansiosta jälleenpeluuarvo korkea. Jopa emulaattorilla turhan joutilas tempo kuitenkin kusee hieman viimeksi mainittua pointtia. Massiiviset plussat kuitenkin herutuselementtien pioneerina toimisesta. (7/10)

* *Michael Jackson's Moonwalker*: It's bad. Really, really bad.

* Nemesis the Warlock: Palikkamainen ja monotoninen, mutta lähinnä lisenssinsä takia jokseenkin viihdyttävä mätistys. Ruumiiden kasaantumismekaniikka on mielenkiintoinen ja sitä toivoisi näkevän muissakin actionpeleissä. Pelin ainoa musiikkiraita on tarvittavan korkeaa luokkaa.

* *Uuno Turhapuro muuttaa maalle*: Epäviihdyttävä ja tuskallinen, mutta tarjoaa pari sekuntia säälinsekaista hupia. Aivan kuten lähdemateriaalinsa, siis.

SAES

SAES (Sebastian Alvarezin elämättömyys ja saamattomuus) on portfolioprojekti, johon edellä mainittu ex-hypeläinen pyrkii kirjaamaan tilitykset kaikista peleistä, jotka hän tai hänen yhdistystoverinsa ovat pelanneet tai yrittäneet pelata läpi. Portfolion tarkoituksena on toimia tekijälleen jonkinnäköisenä henkilökohtaisena CV:nä ja muille esittelynä laajaan kirjoon eri pelejä.

Pelit on listattu alustoittain aakkosjärjestyksessä. Kursivoidut pelit on jätetty (ikuisesti) kesken. Alleviivatut ovat tekijän yhdistystoverien läpäisemiä pelejä, joiden takomista on ensin mainittu ollut todistamassa.

Kirjastojen vertailua varten heitän mielestäni pelaamisten arvoisten pelien perään niiden arvosanan /10 ja maininnan siitä, löytyykö niistä melko mielivaltaisten arvioideni mukaan parempia tai yhtä hyviä versioita muilla alustoilla.

La maison aux tambours

***La maison aux tambours*** est le 11ème épisode de l'anime *Kimetsu no Yaiba*.

## Syopsis

La prochaine destination de Tanjiro, selon son corbeau Kasugai, est au sud-est. En chemin, Tanjiro rencontre son compagnon survivant de la Sélection Finale, l'épéiste Zenitsu Agatsuma. Tanjiro a du mal à gérer l'attitude passive de Zenitsu alors qu'ils se dirigent profondément dans les montagnes. Ils rencontrent deux enfants dont le frère aîné a été emmené juste devant leur maison. Là, Zenitsu entend le son d'un tambour qui résonne quelque part.

## Histoire

Tanjiro sépare Zenitsu de la fille harcelée, qui gifle Zenitsu lorsqu'il affirme qu'elle est amoureuse de lui. Zenitsu déclare qu'il est faible et qu'il mourra lors de sa prochaine mission, c'est pourquoi il doit se marier. Il dit à Tanjiro qu'il ne voulait pas devenir un pourfendeur de démons mais qu'il s'était endetté avec une femme, que son entraîneur a payé sa dette et c'est de cette manière qu'il y a été obligé. Le corbeau de Tanjiro dirige les deux garçons vers un manoir. L'ouïe de Zenitsu est aussi forte que l'odeur de Tanjiro et il entend deux enfants effrayés qui disent à Tanjiro que c'est une maison de démon et que le démon a emmené leur frère aîné à l'intérieur. Un homme est jeté à l'extérieur de la maison et décède quelques instants plus tard, mais ce n'est pas leur frère. Tanjiro incite Zenitsu terrifié à entrer dans la maison avec lui, laissant Nezuko (dans sa boîte) avec les deux enfants pour les protéger. Zenitsu réagit de manière excessive lorsque Tanjiro dit qu'il a encore des os cassés car cela signifie qu'il ne peut pas le protéger. Mais les deux enfants entrent dans la maison du démon derrière eux lorsqu'ils ont entendu Nezuko gratter et ont eu peur, la laissant derrière. La maison se réorganise soudainement, séparant le groupe, regroupant la sœur Teruko avec Tanjiro et le frère Shoichi avec Zenitsu. Shoichi réprimande Zenitsu pour sa lâcheté. Tandis que Zenitsu cherche frénétiquement une sortie, il ouvre une porte et voit un homme à tête de sanglier, qui les dépasse. Le démon de la maison s'approche de Tanjiro et Teruko. Tanjiro saute sur le démon, avant qu'il ne retourne la pièce. Son Pouvoir sanguinaire lui donne un contrôle total sur la maison quand il frappe un tambour qui grandit de son corps. L'homme à tête de sanglier saute inopinément dans la pièce, brandissant une paire d'épées Nichirin ébréchées.

Summary

From Amazon:

Born mute, speaking only in sign, Edgar Sawtelle leads an idyllic life with his parents on their farm in remote northern Wisconsin. For generations, the Sawtelles have raised and trained a fictional breed of dog whose thoughtful companionship is epitomized by Almondine, Edgar's lifelong friend and ally. But with the unexpected return of Claude, Edgar's paternal uncle, turmoil consumes the Sawtelles' once peaceful home. When Edgar's father dies suddenly, Claude insinuates himself into the life of the farm—and into Edgar's mother's affections. Grief-stricken and bewildered, Edgar tries to prove Claude played a role in his father's death, but his plan backfires—spectacularly. Forced to flee into the vast wilderness lying beyond the farm, Edgar comes of age in the wild, fighting for his survival and that of the three yearling dogs who follow him. But his need to face his father's murderer and his devotion to the Sawtelle dogs turn Edgar ever homeward. David Wroblewski is a master storyteller, and his breathtaking scenes—the elemental north woods, the sweep of seasons, an iconic American barn, a fateful vision rendered in the falling rain—create a riveting family saga, a brilliant exploration of the limits of language, and a compulsively readable modern classic.

Summary

From Amazon:

In 1903 a mysterious young woman flees alone across the West, one heart-pounding step ahead of the law. At nineteen, Mary Boulton has just become a widow—and her husband's killer. As bloodhounds track her frantic race toward the mountains, she is tormented by mad visions and by the knowledge that her two ruthless brothers-in-law are in pursuit, determined to avenge their younger brother's death. Responding to little more than the primitive fight for life, the widow retreats ever deeper into the wilderness—and into the wilds of her own mind—encountering an unforgettable cast of eccentrics along the way. With the stunning prose and captivating mood of great works like Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain or early Cormac McCarthy, Gil Adamson's intoxicating debut novel weds a brilliant literary style to the gripping tale of one woman's desperate escape.

Summary:

☀T. is a young Los Angeles real estate developer consumed by power and political ambitions. His orderly, upwardly mobile life is thrown into chaos by the sudden appearance of his nutty mother, who’s been deserted by T.’s now out-of-the-closet father. After his mother’s suicide attempt and two other deaths, T. finds himself increasingly estranged from his latest project: a retirement community in the middle of the California desert. As he juggles family, business, and social responsibilities, T. begins to nurture a curious obsession with vanishing species. Soon he’s living a double life, building sprawling subdivisions by day and breaking into zoos at night to be near the animals. A series of calamities forces T. to a tropical island, where he takes a Conrad-esque journey up a river into the remote jungle. Millet’s devastating wit, psychological acuity, and remarkable empathy for flawed humankind contend with her vision of a world slowly murdering itself.

Summary

From Amazon:

In Jordan's prize-winning debut, prejudice takes many forms, both subtle and brutal. It is 1946, and city-bred Laura McAllan is trying to raise her children on her husband's Mississippi Delta farm—a place she finds foreign and frightening. In the midst of the family's struggles, two young men return from the war to work the land. Jamie McAllan, Laura's brother-in-law, is everything her husband is not—charming, handsome, and haunted by his memories of combat. Ronsel Jackson, eldest son of the black sharecroppers who live on the McAllan farm, has come home with the shine of a war hero. But no matter his bravery in defense of his country, he is still considered less than a man in the Jim Crow South. It is the unlikely friendship of these brothers-in-arms that drives this powerful novel to its inexorable conclusion. The men and women of each family relate their versions of events and we are drawn into their lives as they become players in a tragedy on the grandest scale. As Kingsolver says of Hillary Jordan, "Her characters walked straight out of 1940s Mississippi and into the part of my brain where sympathy and anger and love reside, leaving my heart racing. They are with me still."

Summary

Maurice Swift is handsome, charming, and hungry for fame. The one thing he doesn’t have is talent – but he’s not about to let a detail like that stand in his way. After all, a would-be writer can find stories anywhere. They don’t need to be his own.

Working as a waiter in a West Berlin hotel in 1988, Maurice engineers the perfect opportunity: a chance encounter with celebrated novelist Erich Ackermann. He quickly ingratiates himself with the powerful – but desperately lonely – older man, teasing out of Erich a terrible, long-held secret about his activities during the war. Perfect material for Maurice’s first novel.

Once Maurice has had a taste of literary fame, he knows he can stop at nothing in pursuit of that high. Moving from the Amalfi Coast, where he matches wits with Gore Vidal, to Manhattan and London, Maurice hones his talent for deceit and manipulation, preying on the talented and vulnerable in his cold-blooded climb to the top. But the higher he climbs, the further he has to fall…

Sweeping across the late twentieth century, *A Ladder to the Sky* is a fascinating portrait of a relentlessly immoral man, a tour de force of storytelling, and the next great novel from an acclaimed literary virtuoso.

This area was known for odd afflictions that affected the senses of those that lived nearby. No research has be done on it, nor is anything know about the Grey One that also lives there.
Artifacts

This page is a list of known artifacts across the world, the rings, and time.

## Cradles of the Sun and Moon

These artifacts were created soon after Queen Titania awakened from the trees of the Moonshore. They were gifted to her by the Echoes in return for being an ageless caretaker. Together they act as a fountain of youth curing all aliments and providing immortality. Apart they are terribly destructive artifacts that can lay waste to many miles in a blink of an eye.
Homebrew

**This is outdated and not correct.**

## Wound System

If a target falls unconscious through damage they gain a wound. (capped at 1 per encounter)

* Wounds do not do anything in themselves
	+ A character can have up to 4 wounds if they would receive a 5th wound they die rather than go unconscious.
	+ Can Flavor what the wound is based on the attack/damage that brought them to 0
		- Some Examples
			* 3rd-degree burns by fire damage
			* Extreme frostbite from cold
			* Major Concussion for bludgeoning
			* Major internal bleeding/ tissue damage slashing and piercing
			* etc.
* How to get rid of wounds

	+ Proficient Use of the Medicine skill over the course of a few days

## Potions

Potions take a bonus action to use on yourself, and an action feeding it to someone else.

**Goal:** To make potions more useful, and to lessen the impact that not having a healer has on the party.

## Character Creation

All characters gain an extra starting feat (cannot be Lucky), and human variant doesn't exist. All characters start with max gold.

**Goal:** To increase character creation depth by giving players a niche to enhance rather that be just the base class.
Grey One

The Grey One or Ma-sahi to the villagers of Ardlar is a reclusive hermit. He is called the Grey One by Isha, but no one really knows why. Ma-sahi had rumors swirling about how he was kidnapping children to aid in his summoning of demons and research. It is not clear how true these stories are, the only one to know for certain is Isha and it is not forthcoming with entreaties of information.
Merticulos

*Devils have made names that deal with shapes or order related words.*

#### Parallelix

Is one of the most insidious deal makers of Merticulos has brought nations to their knees only to remake them with the proper tool. Manipulative and methodical he shapes the fortunes of the world with a few words to the right people at the right time.

#### Strant

Strahnt's domain is an endless gallery of abstract art made from the souls that are captured acquired by his subordinates. If he manages to ensare the soul of a particularly talented artist he imprisons that soul to create art to his liking for centuries before using them in his own.

#### Viracil

Viracil is a loner and commands a minor portion of Merticulous that he keeps for his personal use. Not interested in the study of most creatures he instead spends eons on one singular creature idea or object until he has understood it completely.

#### Quant

Quant is a cruel but cunning caretaker of one of the soul prisons on Merticulous holding many captured beings of chaos. He takes delight in forming them into his own creations that align with the way the world should be.

#### Triefetis

Triefetis does not have any features just a blank canvas, wholly alien to all who look upon its hulking form that seems wrong in some indescribable way. It always is searching for the perfect face, perfect order inside a hurricane of random chaos.

#### Duon

Duon is two creatures merged together to find a more perfect way of being. Ever searching to give this opportunity to other creatures knowing that most do not want to be as linked as they should be.

#### Septeri

More so than any other devil Septeri desires the complete destruction of Discordant, see it as a blemish on creation. Everything Septeri does is always to further its destruction.

#### Octrom

Octrom is the tyrant of almost half of Merticulous forging it into an endless prison. The other Arch-Devils fear him for he has killed one of their brothers before. He forces those below him to keep to schedules timed to the second of the day, and enjoys tormenting them when they do not.

#### Quintora

The Youngest and weakest of the Arch-devils having just been able to gain this position on Merticulous. It seeks to keep to the shadows and grow a network of minions on Amheida before acting boldly.

Keeper of the Depths

The Keeper of the Depths is an entity that no one really knows that much outside the Vermilion. It is a closely guarded secret of the highest order, and is know only to long time members or elites within the organization. Part of the reason why the Vermilion established their capital Vermulos where it is, is because it was close to the Ocean, and provided easy ways to commune with it. It is because of this connection the libraries of the Vermilion are the most complete in all the world, and even having records of past cycles.
