Up to world five in Blinx, just beyond the halfway point (eight worlds in total, apparently). This is a total sickos game masquerading as a cute mascot platformer for kids. And I quite like it.
Sometimes a little bit of whimsy is all it takes to get through the really bad days.
This is probably objectively the right answer.
Me querying youraislopboresme, asking someone to draw "Ratatouille with another smaller ratatouille piloting him". The "AI" has drawn a rat with a smaller rat pulling hairs on his head.
Thank.
That is a very cool frog. I'm glad your grandmother is okay now.

here's something i've wanted to do for a while! if you're interested in commissioning me for anything (be it art, music, etc), you can! however, I don't accept money personally. in exchange for a commission, I ask that you donate money to a mutual aid request, and show me evidence in dms! ty :)
the worst part of going bald has to be letting go of your ratatouille fantasy
Hahahaha, I knew it was one of you. It was literally the first prompt about The Ooze that I keyed in as well. Perfect.
Site is legit.
I was introduced to this Anti-AI slop site by @kamkonek.bsky.social where your answers come from humans LARPing as AI and you in turn also pretend to be AI. youraislopbores.me
Screenshot of Goofy in Kingdom Hearts 2 pointing and saying "You're pretendin' to be a boy, aren't ya?"
Goofy saw me when nobody else did.
this is what i do for a living btw, there is indeed hope for us all girls
One week in and I'm making slow progress while my health deteriorates. I can use a lot more help to get through the month. Things should look up after this for a little bit at least.
Any help is greatly appreciated
🙏💸
Goal: 375/1500

I always got that impression too! And fair play to them, honestly. It was kind of mad to try to enter the industry as a new player then of all times, when Sony were pretty much guaranteed to coast to market dominance on the back of the PS1. They had to be bullish about building a brand quickly.
I'm enjoying it despite the jankier design elements! It's quite endearing, and like you say, they weren't just doing a typical 3D mascot platformer. It's very much its own sort of thing.
I had used the bombs like twice up to that point I think. Certainly a way to introduce a mechanic in earnest.
I feel like maybe the solution might have been smaller puzzle rooms with short challenges, so that realising you've messed up right at the end of a level wouldn't be so punishing. But I think then it would be a different and not as aesthetically appealing world to hop about in, so... Dunno really.
It does! The Greatest Hits version is the one I'm playing (well, sort of - the balance changes in that one are shared by the vanilla Japanese version that I'm playing), but I think it's a problem of the game's design really. Difficulty rebalances are a band aid fix.
They kind of tied their hands, to be fair, as many of the powers are so game-breaking that tying them to a meter or making them too easily refillable would ruin the game. The dual functions of your abilities as game-breaking superweapon and necessary puzzle-solving tool just don't mesh well.
Collecting four of the same colour of crystal also nets you two of a certain time power, while collecting three nets you only one, and less than three wastes every crystal in your belt. The trouble is that sometimes crystals fall so close together that you can't help touching them. Again, a choice!
And the drops off enemies of bonus crystals are randomised as far as I can tell, so levels can be made far more forgiving or much harder depending on how lucky you get. It's a really weird choice.
The limited time crystals to power puzzle mechanics that you actively need to get through worlds beyond the first two means it's so easy to get softlocked and have to restart a ten minute level, particularly if you don't know it well and don't know what you'll need.
Gosh, on world four now, and I'm really starting to see why a lot of people don't like this game. I'm mostly enjoying it myself, but it's *so* terribly balanced. The first few worlds are an absolute snooze, and then as soon as you hit four it's a wall of difficulty with almost no room for error.
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is still time for Klax.
This was the most worthwhile two seconds of video I've ever seen.
Yes that’s me
I just booted up the game to play some more and processed for the first time how funny it is that the "ONLY ON XBOX" stamp from game boxes is included on the title screen.
