So played the next level in Occupation, no saving in the game sucks. I spent an hour and then a bug happened where I got a floppy but then it disappeared (I think I ejected it after I copied a file to it and instead of going back on copy screen first I just ejected the disk and then it disappeared) but the game I think still thought I had it.

Certain doors wipe disks when you go through them, and it just wouldn't let me go through those doors, it was like an invisible wall. I was able to continue and use alternate entrances, till the end of the level I had to talk to a dude. and needed to go through one of those doors and I couldn't... Welp

Man I really love the game, but the bugs make me hate it so much. fuck.

At least it didn't crash at all. and when I go back and redo the level I know what to do. But since it's real time it will still take me an hour :/

Yeah, if your game is in real time that shit better be stable. How unfortunate.

Edit: I dig the loading screen, Death Metalist . How long did that take to make?
Too long to get the edit on point and some of the background stuff. It would have been longer BUT thankfully I re-used the RDR2 motif I did in the older thread of the duders so that saved a lot of time. Sucks that streamable compressed the sound though because that theme is a banger. You reminded me...going through my GB photoshop stuff I found this that I did back when I made the Star Wars theme but before solidifying who Brad would be. Forgot to post it back then.

So much greatness in a single image. The unmotivated multidirectional speed blur. The red light coming out of the top of a 360 controller. The glass flowing out from the windshield like a magical river. The hands set slightly to the left, like your neck comes out of your right shoulder horizontally. And it looks like Paddy's Pub is over there on the right, so this may just be a scene from the Always Sunny episode "Being Frank".

Welp, my brother is in town with my family and we were enjoying some MacGruber. We saw the celery scene. ...goodnight.
