There's one more secret I feel I have to share with you:

I did not care for the Ultimate Modpack.

I love the characters, and their own sorta differences in playstyles, but I did not care for the UMP.

(Gets more in depth in article)


Why?

(Warning: My Opinion)

Main reasons would be that: I don't think the game needed to be longer than SOTWS is. Cause that was just the right amount.

That, and I don't think Edvinas wanted us to stretch these 3/4 sections we got in Chapter 1 this far. When it gets stretched too thin for time, I start losing the "survival" and "immersion" point of the game and it starts feeling like extra padding.

(I feel like this is partly on him for unintentionally manufacturing this madness because instead of making the new chapter, he's just remaking downtown cause apparently artists are never satisfied with how the original simple ones look, but that's another can of worms.)

(But then again he couldn't have predicted it would be this popular.)

What i'm saying is, if I have to see any more red/green of downtown i'm gonna lose it.

That, and conflicting artstyles with so many cooks in the kitchen, slightly breaks immersion when you can definitely tell a different artist made a fighter next to a base-game fighter.

"Muddy how can you even say that you haven't even finished it! THEY haven't even finished the game!"

"Muddy they poured their hearts into the art and everything!"

I appreciate that, I love the art and maps they made and everything. I just can't get invested into the gameplay.

But if there is one thing I like its the party members and their playstyles.

Maybe this is just me but I hate having to overthink whether I wanna keep a set of 3-6 characters that hate another party member's guts just because they have a jersey on or something.

Funny, i always come back to Timeless in Pointless. Elton was such a goat being able to reason with Geen on not leaving cause a fellow with a salted bathrobe wanted to come with. Any extra hands would be nice, and I love mix/matching different playstyles.

UMP kinda tries too hard to be "harder" by doing these conflicts. What would be fun is if I was able to have a reason option for a few of the characters, maybe pick 2-3 out of 6 or so that i can personally keep with if they have issues with someone. Hell, maybe even it buffs them cause of the friendship bond.

Maybe if that system was different I could give it a shot. But not spending forever downtown though. Probably gonna just gun Second Fold to reach the funny communist cyborg.

Anyhow, Yep, that's it. Thanks for reading.

Oh right: Copper Silver is probably my fav of the gang, might do a tier list for my favs. Copper, TV Guy and Wily Knight are my top 3.

Before I put in my two cents on h i m Buddussy I need to check up on gamejolt's rules so I dont end up smiting myself off this platform for being too truthful about my feelings. Is it harassment if they're Pointless/Hopeful levels of missing the plot?

For the whole Rodriguez Route 2.0, I guess I kinda forgive him for that ending. Cause I think (I hope, I pray) that he finished it by a year later. Besides, we got so many other games to dig up! I got a couple options:

Im not gonna lie to you

But the more I try ignoring politics,

The more it starts breaking in and making life worse and worse for everyone.

Everything’s gonna be tied right back to us all soon.

I really need to finish Brave New World to see how it ends…

A Lisa Fangame but it's an excuse for me to put a variant of one of these two goobers in as a secret boss cause they're too good to leave alone: Pete n' VB by PootStablook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aGM2t9ulgk Who. D Theorie by Starlite: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aGM2t9ulgk

So turns out there is hope. I made a little list of "Muddy's couple tips for dealing with a late stage authoritarian-capitalist society" *Seeing the poor, rock bottom salesman rise up and find his own community, it fills me with HOPE*

I did some more research on UMP. I might give it a try (WHEN ITS FINISHED UP) like 2nd fold, Marauders and Imp's Route. Depends how it goes, just don't want to spend weeks there. I got a tier list for each party member here too. (Help Wanted in Article)

(Trigger Warning) These sum up my feelings about him. In a calm way. Buddussy. I don't want to stir trouble, but I cannot stand by and let this... demonizing happen. Go to Gamejolt's and Itchio's mods. This isn't, and NEVER WILL BE acceptable behavior.

Before I did ship off my laptop I REALLY got into The Battle Cats again, got pretty far (Up to Into The Future 1) and learned how to seed track and get actually good Ubers.

So fixing the Laptop made me go cold turkey and cure my Battle Cats Addiction.

Hope y'all didn't forget about me... Cause I haven't forgotten you! Oh, it's been so long since I last got in my account, but it's good to be back! So, so many things happened since my unexpected curtain call last year. Let me tell you all about it:

Prob gonna try using Clipchamp until I can get Vegas back for now. Not the best way to edit videos but it'll work. Besides there's 2 new UTDR games I wanna try out.
