Summum Aeterna – A chaotic roguelite – Cannot be Tamed

Whoa, she’s got the melons out AND a choker. Views must be WAY down. What’s next? She should ask PVC Bondage Guy where he gets his gear. Although, PVC Bondage Guy hasn’t worn his titular bondage gear in quite some time.

I made it to 2:30. It’s boring. She’s reviewing the game. It’s a “roguelike”. She doesn’t like “roguelikes”. But this one seems to be okay. Great.

I’ve been playing We Who Are About to Die lately. It’s a “roguelike”, I guess, but the definition seems to have been stretched beyond any comprehension. Just any game where you die a lot is a “roguelike”, apparently.

Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup is a legitimate roguelike. We Who Are About to Die or this game that Pam is reviewing, I don’t think so. Although, I don’t know much about this game that Pam is playing. If the levels are randomly generated then maybe. But they don’t seem to be.

We Who Are About to Die is…tough to say. It’s in alpha or whatever they want to call it but they’re selling the game at full price so I think that whole thing is just a marketing scam. “Oh, our game sucks dick but it’s in alpha so you can’t expect it to be good. Pay us the full price for the game, though, and maybe in a few years it will get better. Maybe.”

How many hours do I have on this thing? Thirty. So that’s a fair amount.

It’s a gladitorial combat game. I had fun with it but I don’t know. After I beat the game, I realised a lot of the somewhat nitpicky flaws in it.

Well, let’s start with the combat. That’s what the game is all about. You go from one gladitorial bout to the next.

At first I thought, “This is fucking impossible” and I’d get killed on my second or third fight consistently. But then I figured out that you can hit the guy and then dash backwards. And when he runs at you, about to hit you, just dash backwards again when he swings. It doesn’t work 100% of the time but it’s good enough to get you pretty far into the game.

Also, you need to train stamina. And if you train anything other than stamina, you’re wasting your time. Stamina is the only thing that you need to train. And without a high enough stamina, you’re going to be completely fucked. It’s the only stat that seems to matter.

There are four…rich people or something that run these gladitorial bouts. And every week you have to compete in one bout. The person whose bout you choose to do will raise their opinion of you after the bout and the other three will lower their opinion. It’s impossible to please all of them or even one of them, really.

But it doesn’t matter. If they have a high opinion of you, there’s no great bonus and if they have a low opinion of you, there’s no great malus. So I don’t even bother looking at that unless it gets to the end game and that’s a win condition.

I like the game, though. The concept is good. There’s a lot that can be done with it. Apparently, the developer has a lot of ideas. It was just one guy making the game for a long time but I think he has a small team now. So I bought it legitimately. I only buy maybe one or two games a year.

People talk about wanting animals added to the game and whatnot. And that would be fine, I guess. But I’m more concerned with improving the existing features.

It’s a balancing act to get everything right. The weapons and armor…I don’t know. Once I got maxed out weapons and armor, I didn’t feel any more powerful. I probably was but the opponents constantly get more powerful so it doesn’t really make a difference.

And as for the AI…they’re not great but I don’t know if you even want them to be great. If they’re too good, that’s no fun. You should be able to beat them. And I do inevitably die, evern as it is.

So We Who Are About to Die is good but flawed but I don’t really know how to fix the flaws.

As for Pam’s video, who gives a shit?

  • “Oh my god this looks hard!”

He’s looking down at his penis after looking at Pam’s thumbnail.

  • “Great video, beautiful hair, and an amazing dress. Hope you have a great day!”
  • “You look amazing”
  • “You’re hair is beautiful.”

Pam replied to all of these horntards thanking them for their desperate compliments.

She dyed her hair black, by the way. Or she stopped dying her hair. And there’s a slight flip in her hair. So…that counts as her trying to do something with her hair. She mentions in the comments that she’s trying to do something with her hair.

Hair advice for Pam…I’ve got none. Who cares? That’s my advice. Nobody gives a shit. You’re a 40+ year old angry lesbian. There’s nothing you can do with your hair that will change what a horrible, repellent person you are.

I always wanted to get my hair done like Tong Po from Kickboxer. Why is nobody doing that? It’s not even that much of a committment. You wouldn’t have to grow it out for years. You’d just have to grow it long enough so that you can weave extensions in.

You see people with purple hair or a they shaved a small line into the side of their head or whatever and that’s supposed to be edgy. There’s nothing edgy about that. I want to see Tong Po.

It was all the rage in Manchu China. Bring it back. Why not? Because people “rebel” in a very mainstream, safe, non-rebelious fashion.

  1. The thing about Bimmy’s monster madness this year that makes no sense and shows he has fully checked out is the whole premise itself. Whether it was any good or not (it wasn’t) he talked about real horror movies where there’s lots of blood and shit. Well not literally, unfortunately for him. Now it’s Garfield and family matters! How does that make sense?

    1. Maybe but that’s why I had promise for this year’s theme. I used to watch this Monster Madness shit despite the gore, not because of it. I’m not interested in that. I’ve never seen any of the movies and I don’t want to see that shit.

      But these “reviews” this year are just summaries. And I looked at past reviews thinking maybe he was always doing this. No. He gave actual reviews in the past. So I don’t know why he opted for summaries ala Tony from Hack the Movies this year. It’s boring as fuck.

  2. the way that she conducts her life is pretty self-destructing. i don’t particularly hate her but i assume that part of the reason that she has such an odious personality is that she has always had her immediate wants met. a sheltered existence where she learnt absolutely nothing about life and reality. it would be far more advantageous to her (and the viewer) if she lived in a more simple nation. such as Somalia or Yemen. then maybe she would be a less insufferable individual. in addition to speaking a cool language and having a name full of b’s and a’s, all of her liberal parroting would be nonexistent.

    and this would make her a better person
