Copper runs, chases his favorite ball, snarfs up anything that happens to fall to the floor, and jumps up on chairs, couches, beds, anything where there’s people to sit on them. For over ten years, this toy poodle has been an amazing source of comfort not only for myself, but for family members as well. On August 9th, 2017, we realized something was wrong. As he stays with my grandparents (Who adore and love and care for him since my family here at home cannot, with being away at work a lot), I only kew a few things as of tody; He was not eating, would not get out of his bed, was drinking water more than usual, and urinating excessively. It was when this dog did not greet me when I walked in the door until I was stading inside the actual house. The dog that would be jumping at the door trying to get to me instead very slowly got up from his bed and walked over, then simply lay at my feet instead of trying to launch his tiny body into my arms. A trip to the vet later revealed that not only was he extremely dehydrated and has a strong heart murmur, he is also diabetic. We haven’t taken him to the vet for a number of years due to another family member’s neglect on how important rabies shots and other vaccinations are, so he had gone untreated for who knows how long. As of right now, writing this, I am facing up to a $5000 vet bill for a 3-day hospital stay.

Copper means the absolute world to me, and I cannot and will not let his active life be cut short. In order for him to not only get his treatment, but to then be released back to come home to me, my grandma and grandpa and chase his ball and get enough loving to last him another lifetime. Should you wish, I will also take donations via Paypal.me and Ko-fi . Thank you for reading and sharing, I will answer questions to the best of my ability when able.

There are a lot of pop culture references and silly jokes in Soda Dungeon, which I really enjoyed. It is an idle clicker, after all, so there is not much else going on once you really get the game rolling. As it plays itself, I sometimes just checked in to see what kind of a baddie I was fighting, which was never disappointing.

The second dungeon that opens up after completing some tasks, the ‘harder’ one, is also filled with funnier, more reference oriented baddies than the first one, which makes it infinitely more fun to play through and ultimately the one I went into when I was farming for gold. Not because it was the most effective method, since restarting in it from any level but the first cost essence instead of gold, and essence is more useful in other areas, but because it was the most amusing.

I saw Gary from Spongebob, Hypnotoad, and little blue pikachu. Not to mention a delicious looking turkey dinner. But there were so many, I am torn between wishing I had taken more screen shots and glad I did not because it is more fun to see them yourself.

The jokes and references were not limited to the dungeons and enemies, though. At one point, you buy access to take a small pet into the dungeons with you, who just floats in the lower corner and looks like an idiot, but does give boosts to your team so that’s something. Hey, is that Robo from Chrono Trigger?

There is also another part of the game where you can customize your warriors. I really did not see the point of this, but while browsing through the various hair styles, I found one that reminded me very much of Locke from Final Fantasy VI. Granted, it looks more like his official art than his in game sprite, but it was close enough for me. I made all my knights have that hair.

Mostly because I never used the thief much. Uh. I mean treasure hunter.

If it’s a reference to something else, I’d love to know. There was also another hair that I gave to my healer, which was the only other class I used, that looked like Crono from Chrono Trigger. As a simple creature, these little things pleased me to no end.

On all the nerdy references and goofy jokes alone, I definitely recommend this idle clicker game. Plus, the pixel art is really nice. The game does not take too much focus, though it is more involved that some of the other idle games I’ve tried. It is a good balance, I think, and it is very fun because of both things. Maybe a little too easy to 100 percent, and that makes it short (since I need a reason and a reward to be playing games like this).

It was such a nice day, too.

I have a strange addiction to games made in RPG Maker. I guess I just like to see what people can do with the program, and how far from the normal RPG format people manage to go. This is meant to be a Harvest Moon (or Stardew Valley) type game, with farming and marriage and all that good stuff, which I thought was an ambitious goal for this program. I am eager to see what this game has to offer, as I absolutely love the games on which this is based!

You... you okay, buddy?

So this boss on the 700th floor of the main dungeon takes no damage from any class but the Fighter. I got the fighter relic and poured some essence into it, powering up the class so I could just take a whole team of them and fight this guy head on.

When you use the relic, they learn this crazy suplex move. While funny to watch on normal bad guys, it is hilarious on this giant boss.

Take that, baldy.

So the rival in Pokemon Uranium is a little kid named Theo. He is younger than your character, who I have named Rumple (because even Dark Ones want to go on pokemon adventures), and is pretty immature. He spends a lot of time screaming and crying about things, but as the story progresses, he grows up more and more, and learns how to deal with life’s problems in a more adult way. He stops idolizing the main character, following in his heels all the time, and instead begins to try and be the best Theo he can be.

Really, I started to bond with the little guy.

When you pick your starter (well it’s less picking and more being assigned through a personality quiz), he inevitably gets the one that’s naturally weak to yours. Since I got the fire dinosaur, he got a grass/metal cat demon. And boy did he whine about it, blaming everyone for his pokemon losing against mine all the time.

Eventually he came to accept that I was just better than him. Which is good, because I am. We still went on to battle through a gym together, and attain the power of Mega Evolution for our starters together, which was a very sweet and oddly compelling moment in the game.

His awesome cat monster mega evolved into the Fullmetal Alchemist, and my fire dinosaur turned into an even more fire, even more dinosaur guy. Except the back marking that used to look like a yoshi saddle now looks decidedly uncomfortable.

But I guess even actual time passes in the game for Theo to not only grow up mentally, but physically. His character sprite actually reflects this change, though now I no longer want to fight him under any circumstances, ever.

Because I think he’s going to kill me.

Here we are, in out final battle. It was a pain in the butt to get here, with all the dialogue and plot I had to wade through when all I really wanted to do was kick his butt one final, meaningful time. We finally duel and not only does he look at me like I’m a tasty meat snack but, somehow, he decided to ditch his poor starter and take mine.

No joke. Metalynx is no where to be seen. Instead, he has an Archilles just like mine. So all that journeying to get to the championship, and to get there again so we could actually battle, and he decides that his dutiful, loyal, beautifully dorky green cat is no longer good enough?

Here I was, giving him credit for no longer following in my footsteps, but he went and proved me wrong. Jerk.

I did look into the final battle a little, but according to the wikipedia page, he is supposed to have his normal team. I somehow got this strange bug, or something, where he fought me with pokemon he had not used before in any of our previous battles. Including his starter, which was the most jarring.

I’d love to know if anyone else had this happen, though, or if they fought him and he had his usual team with him! I did restart from my last save and challenged him again, but he still did not have his proper team.

Downloaded a free to play idle clicker from Steam a while back, to replace Shonen Idle Z and Clicker Heroes. I have managed to complete it, as far as Steam Achievements go, and it is actually pretty cute. I really like the pixel designs, though I’m pretty sure this tavern is not just selling soda. More on some of the details of this game to come.

The Pokemon Uranium end game got really green. For obvious reasons. There may be some mild spoilers ahead, if anyone cares about that sort of thing.

Like... this is the final boss fight, which happens right in the middle of the pokemon championship and ruins the whole experience of fighting through eight badges and finally reaching that culmination of a real win. You don’t even get to beat your rival one last time, and just sort of earn the title of Champion by beating this thing.

Great. You have to go back in after the game to fight your rival for real, and by then it just feels like a chore.

The bad guys names are Curie and Urayne. Clever. I don’t know. I guess I never got into the Nuclear stuff, though with a name like Uranium, it was obviously going to be a big part of the game. It just never managed to catch my full attention, story wise, and a lot of the writing was just bogging down the game itself. Especially at the end of the game, where it seemed like it needed four times the plot all of a sudden.

Look, a blob of nearly indecipherable pixels!

And rad roaches!

That’s okay, though. We joined the clean up crew. Pokemon trainers are responsible and mature enough to handle the implication of nuclear fallout, right? At least I got to wear a sweet suit.
