Haha yeah I guess there hasn't really been anything notable. Cool stuff happens, but I can't think of any good dialog or themes, and barely any interesting plot points. Maybe I was too kind in the review, but I do enjoy horror.

    It's so good! It takes serious skill to write something that goofy without ruining the quality or taking the viewer/reader out of it.

    The 90s? I didn't realize the manga was that old

    Edit: oh there are OVAs too

    Belgian label De:tuned once again dives into the innovative world of Luke Vibert, reviving his legendary Plug moniker with ‘Variety Magic’, the first new Plug album in nearly 15 years.

    For this release, Vibert unearthed and hand‑picked a collection of previously unreleased jungle and drum & bass gems, sourced straight from his original mid‑90s DAT archive. The result is an 11‑track ride through the raw energy and playful experimentation that made his early Plug work so distinctive, all infused with Vibert’s unmistakable funk and mischievous flair.

    Variety Magic is vibrant, bold, and delightfully off‑kilter. A colourful homage to an iconic era, crafted for both deep listeners and the dancefloor. Stay tuned!

    Time for another annual recap since our previous post: https://lemmy.mods4ever.com/post/454

    If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, here's the trailer from v3.0 which gives an overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3mTcG6xeq4&list=PLZIQTa_kwZhBksj7UzcahPiRaHk87fWch&index=1

    In the past year we've released v3.6, v3.6.1, v3.6.6.6, v3.6.7, v3.7, v3.7.1, and v3.8. We've been doing less frequent but larger updates, but still pushing out alpha/beta versions frequently in our Discord. When someone reports a bug we usually fix it quickly.

    Some of the biggest additions in the past year:

    • New game mode: Serious Rando. No memes, all Rando. This includes randomization of important goal locations, similar to Full Rando, but it excludes the silly ones and has memes disabled by default. Full list of game modes wiki page.
    • Improved pool ball physics. This is great in combination with bingo.
    • Many improvements for Revision, GMDX, and Vanilla? Madder. support.
    • Halloween 2
      • Two new stalkers: Weeping Anna and Bobby.
      • New game mode: Mr. Page's Horrifying Bingo Machine. The Halloween version of Mean Bingo Machine. Play through the whole game, but you must complete a bingo line before being allowed to progress to the next mission. Once you get to the next mission, you are given a new bingo board! Now featuring Halloween stalkers and zombies.
      • Improvements to the Fixed/Limited saving modes. These are actually great outside of the Halloween modes, for players who want to kick the save-scumming habit. Wiki page.
    • New password randomization styles! By default, passwords will now be randomized by picking a few words from word lists instead of purely random letters and numbers. In theory these passwords should be a bit easier to remember if not using autofill, as well as simply being more "fun".
    • New game mode: Mr. Page's Nice Bingo Machine. You must complete a bingo line before being able to progress to the next mission. But this one is without goal location randomization. Good for learning bingo.
    • New Game Presets: skip the complicated menus and just choose one of our most popular ways to play.
    • New game mode: Speedrun Shuffle. Like Speedrun Mode, but also the mission order is shuffled! You will get a selection of about 3 to 5 missions, targeting a playtime of under 1 hour. Look at the splits to see which missions you drew, and see if you can beat the par time!
      • We will be starting a tournament for Speedrun Shuffle in July! Keep an eye on our YouTube and/or Discord!
    • And many smaller improvements and bug fixes!

    We also had a few tournaments: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZIQTa_kwZhDZjz905W-hpORQ4S1Rj3a6
