Recordkeeping: Defunct COMPLETE

I respect that this game TRIED very hard, but in the end it was just not good. Not good at all.

You play as a cranky one-wheeled robot with a broken engine. However, it has the power of gravity and magnets: If you strain downwards on a slope, you go downward fast. If you hold a button as you approach metal things, you cling to them. And if you hold the "motor" button, you sort of futz along at a mild rate.

Tragedy strikes as Grumpy Wheel Robot falls out of his spaceship, so it chases the ship across rolling dunes and hills and valleys and such.

Unfortunately... at high speeds the robot is near-uncontrollable, the camera is constantly fighting you for permission to embed itself in the scenery or up the robot's wheel well, anything involving precise motions is gonna require you to swing all the way back around to complete once you blow past it at 90MPH, and in spite of all this I still finished the game in a little over 90 minutes.

It's like downing an extremely condensed shot of The Internet's Opinion Of Modern-Era Sonic The Hedgehog.

I just... wow I did NOT like this game.

Misc. Sqrl: Ahh, Mango Fruit!

Now that I've moved from "Oh, shit, is this bad?" to "I may die, I'd better tell people how much I love them" to "Wait, nothing's happening, I guess it's okay" to "Eh I'm fine.", the final step is "Let's share this on Dreamwidth for laughs."

The Giant Novelty Wolf I Love And Live With, who could not possibly have known I was this dumb in spite of living with me for like a decade-plus now, bought home a mango the other day.

Reader, I ate it. Big bites. Skin and all. (Not the pit in the middle.) It was a bit chewy and rubbery but it tasted pretty good.

APPARENTLY you are not supposed to do that, as I discovered when I went googling to see if there was a better way. Mango skin contains something or other that is also contained by poison oak/sumac/ivy.

So I was very concerned about the possible impending death thing. That said, it's been about six hours since I ate it and nothing bad has happened and it didn't taste overwhelmingly bitter or anything, and ALSO people may or may not be affected by the chemical reaction and I might just not be the affective/reactive/allergic TYPE, so I have myself on a constant watch and am monitoring myself for signs of change.

(As a friend replied when I told them this:
"I like that statement for two reasons:
1) It means you are concerned about your wellbeing and not about to ignore potential problems.
B) It implies that you are oblivious to your condition and surroundings as a normal matter of course."

This response is, in every sense, correct.)

Anyway, ha ha I'm not dead yet in spite of my uncontrolled impulse to just ram a fruit I know nothing about into my gaping facehole and start gnawing.

Way to go, Team Sqrlmog, we survive to make more poor choices another day.
