@deusverve
given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that
2026 YEAR OF THE AROMANTIC ASEXUAL
awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?
i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

I got a few more sprites done, like the exclamation mark that appears before enemies attack. I also went through and finally made it so that all enemies had that warning—before now I’d only bothered to have it on one for testing purposes.
While I was working on that I remembered a bug that I hadn’t ever fixed and figured now would be a good time. After the first floor of a dungeon crawl, all of the damage number text would be much, much larger than it was supposed to be. I crawled through a lot of code looking for the issue before I figured out it was a weird quirk with the GameMaker engine. Basically, once you set the font for text on screen, all text uses that font. So if, for example, you used a different, larger, more readable font for certain UI and never set it back to the smaller font used for damage numbers, then your damage numbers will continue using the larger UI font instead. All I had to do was make sure the damage numbers also set their own font. Well, ideally, I would reset the font every time it’s used but honestly RBH isn’t a complicated enough game for me to need best practices all the time. Also, this means that all of my playtesting tools are in the wrong font until I shoot an enemy which is very funny to me.
Anyway. I’ve also got to do the drones and also redo the player weapons, since my last attempt at those came out poorly. Plus bombs. Who doesn’t love a good bomb.

"What makes a photo good?" "...You have to care. When you care, the picture knows."
Alien Headbutt is over 💔💔💔 gone too soon baby angel in the sky
just 100%'d the non-DLC trophies. Just gotta pass the Turing Test again and skip the raid - I already beat "The Creator" once tonight.
I fuckin' forgor the lore entries in the Rookie Harbor Quest Hub! (Also had to go get the Raritan Gem entry, but that's whatever.)
lmao I also had to hunt down that entry
So Shizuka just got Lead. Eleven times.
My first run had Satoshi call partway through round 7.
Love seeing new people react to the damage 'glitch.' Hope I get to ask more people about it in the DLC, but tbf I'm NOT going through the DLC the first time through with Sergey Hax on.
There is no stopping the Lea
Things I learned in CrossCode today:
1: Critical Mode does in fact track negative health and you won't leave critical mode until you heal off all the overkill
2: In spite of 1, in the face of overkill the Once More passive from the Heat Circuit is highly preferable to getting Hi!'d instantly
3: The Turret Defense quest shields will reflect up to 9,999 damage from a single hit
In conclusion, if anyone reading this believes Sergey Hax is an easy answer to the Turret Defense quests, it's not. It's really not. If you're really good at picking fire and hitting only targets with shields down, it can help a lot, but that was a lot more stressful than doing it normally.
tl;dr I learned the hard way so hopefully others can learn the easy way.
We salute your sacrifice
Emilie and Toby out here at Para Island talking about Lea carrying them both as if Schneider isn't the lowest level player there! C'tron at least is five levels behind the girls, but that's still level 61!
(Love that the party members' level-ups are calculated honestly. Really helps the immersion.)
I don't think I ever partied up with anyone except Emilie and Toby, unless it was plot related
Remember to Recycle
Here is an article from NPR about it (May 22, 2026):
Carolina Milanesi, an independent technology analyst, said Google is trying to make its cash cow business — search — richer and more personalized, and it will make shopping easier. But there is a risk that users may have fewer choices about what to click. "Right now it's: I ask a question, I get a bunch of answers and I feel that I'm in control as to which answer I take, or if I'm looking for something, which product I'm going to end up buying. That is going to be less so going forward," she said. Milanesi envisions AI-enabled search and agents proposing products to consumers — perhaps even those they have requested — but with less clarity or choice around where it's coming from. "If you're going to say: 'I want a pair of Jordans, go find them,' you're not necessarily sure what steps have been taken and whether the AI has used a source or a store that was paid for and therefore came up in the search results," she said, "or if AI actually went and did their due diligence and picked the best for me as a customer."
And here's one from Time magazine (May 20, 2026):
While Google already has “AI Mode,” the company will now power the whole search bar through its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model. Instead of the classic list of blue links, Google Search will now also generate a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about, which will then trigger a conversation with AI Mode on the main page, allowing users to ask follow-up questions—similar to the kind of layout you would see when opening ChatGPT.
And a little more from Time's article on how this may affect the websites that we are trying to search for:
When Google first started implementing AI-assisted results, news publishers warned of “catastrophic” impacts on the industry, much of which relies on Google search to drive users to their websites. Last year, news websites saw significant traffic declines as chatbots increasingly replaced Google search as the primary way to find sites and ask questions. Small businesses also noted drops in traffic to their sites from Google, which has traditionally delivered customers. Lily Ray, vice president of SEO strategy & research at Amsive, a digital marketing agency, warned as early as last year that Google’s planned changes to search are “going to have a devastating impact on the Internet.” “It will severely cut into the main source of revenue for most publishers and it will disincentivize content creators who rely on organic search traffic, which is millions of websites, maybe more,” she told Technology Magazine.
Heh Fine so it’s time to stop using it completely. I hope were all serious though and they will face a decrease of use of their search at least the size of this post’s note count?
Stop. Using. It.
Learned by experimentation that the Sergey Hax Modifier does not, in fact, affect Pin Body. So when Apollo challenges a lv65 player in Rhombus Square gear with 120% PB, the math on him getting Lead checks out.
...Wonder how he'll respond to Joern asking him to party up at the Garden.
Remember Apollo, you started this.
Breathe like you’re allowed to be here. Because you are. You’re allowed to take up space. You’re allowed to make noise. You’re allowed to need things and people. Your allowed to need accommodations and help. You’re allowed to cry and to laugh as much as you need and want. You’re allowed to ask questions. You’re allowed to be passionate. You’re allowed to be messy. You’re allowed to be strange. You’re allowed to be a paradox of things. You are allowed to be here. You are meant to be here. Live like you are.
I was wondering why the Hedgehags were 1-shotting me *back* and forgot I put the Boosters on. Oops!
lmao. Like dodgeball.

If I’m being honest, sprite art devlogs are my least favorite. There’s so little for me to talk about in them that I always feel like I’m stalling for time, especially if I was particularly busy and thus only managed to get through a few sprites that week. Here. Have some fire and earth spikes.
I forgot how small the spikes are. I know they’re player-sized and everything—these are the same size as the enemy spikes, if I recall—but I’m used to games with earth spike attacks being giant explosions of stone, and these single spikes are much more restrained. It’s not something I think needs to change, but it’s something interesting to think about.
