Rat/mouse games

• Ratopia, survival and city building of cute rats
• Whiskerwood, city builder with rats under the oppressive thumb of cats, choose if you'll appease or start a revolution
• Ratropolis, roguelite, tower defense, city-building, and deck-building with rat citizens again
• Rocket Rats, tagged Survivors-like
• Rat Trap, tagged Metroidvania and Puzzle Platformer
• Small Saga (play as a mouse seeking revenge against the god who stole his tail, turn-based RPG
• Ghost of a Tale (mouse in medieval world only populated by animals)

This list only exists because I answered some questions on Games in which you play as an animal (or colony / group)? and coincidentally ended up remembering (or later finding on Lemmy) a lot of games that happened to have rat or mouse protagonists.

Credit to commenters on https://lemmy.zip/post/63440777 for the two mouse ones, and on https://lemmy.zip/post/37620082 for some rat ones

Went and bought it once it got out of EA. Pleasantly surprised by it being under 2GB.

No alt text option, so here we go:

::: spoiler alt text A 4chan post by Anonymous, Edgy PCs but not, from March 20, 2019. There is an image of Komi-san from Komi Cannot Communicate, colored to look more like a D&D Drow.

> Player Character

> Drow Rogue

> Sat in dark corner of tavern, glowering at everyone, playing with a dagger

>Actually is really friendly

>The dark corner is easier on their light sensitive eyes

>Squinting because of the fireplace

>Really wants to talk to people and make friends but is very shy

>Dagger is a good luck present from her mum and reminds her of home :::

No alt text option, so here we go:

::: spoiler alt text A social media post, showing a person holding Trader Joe's Chicken Noodle Soup with Veggies. The font looks like that on the cover of Dungeons & Dragons sourcebooks, hence the caption "Why did they make this soup look like a 5th edition D&D sourcebook" :::

I am not being given the option for alt text, so here it is.

::: spoiler alt text A tumblr image post. The image is a question-and-answer prompt mimicking the prompts shown on the television game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. The question is "Which is the first Pokemon?" with the answer options:

• A) Bulbasaur
• B) Mew
• C) Rhydon
• D) Arceus The image is followed by the reblogs of tumblr users.

@darthshadow reblogs with "Well fuck you too."

@askradicalgoodspeed reblogs with "For those that do not get this: Bulbasaur is the first on the pokedex, Mew is the genetic ancestor to all Pokemon Rhydon was the first Pokemon ever created, and Arceus created the universe so it is also technically the first in that came before everything, even space and time. Therefore there is no correct answer"

@falcnpunch reblogs with "pokemon aint real hows that answer"

@doasdreamrsdo reblogs with "YOU WATCH YOUR MOUTH" :::

I think I was just at the point where I knew it was so close. I needed to finish the game

I posted https://lemmy.zip/post/59669786. I noticed that when I was on https://lemmy.zip/c/[email protected] and clicked the image on that post to enlarge it, it forced me to a new page https://images.lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/d73bfddb-8062-41a8-bef4-fe22a9b00a83.avif. Most images on https://lemmy.zip/c/[email protected] can be clicked to enlarge and you just stay on https://lemmy.zip/c/[email protected] instead of being taken to a different page for the image. I was wondering what is causing this, since this happened for a few of my recent posts.

I do know that I used Create Post and then hit Browse next to Image to upload the post. This post was .webp.

I also know that I posted https://lemmy.zip/post/59611401 and have a deleted version of it at https://lemmy.zip/post/59611186. I forget which one of these it was, but I started out uploading a .webp and got the same result: no click to enlarge and staying in the community, clicking only leads to a different page. I edited the post with some other filetype, .jpeg, .jpg, or .png. Same result. And because of this I have multiple of the exact same picture littering my Uploads section on my profile and cannot delete the unused ones (I click delete and get the message it succeeded, but no matter what I do I still always have four of that picture in my Uploads section), so now I worry I am wasting Lemmy server storage.

I did do a cursory check to see if this was a repost before posting. It is and has some pretty fun discussion so I recommend checking out the original post! But that original post has a broken image link both on ttrpg.network and on my instance lemmy.zip, so I figured it was fair to post again.

Not being given the option for alt text, so here's a transcript instead.

::: spoiler Transcript A tumblr post by @normal-horoscopes.

Elf video games: 300 hour jrpgs with legions of characters and several novels worth of text. Labrynthine upgrade trees and customization options. The most insufferably unintuitive Ul possible. A single turn based battle can take hours. Every character has an ennui stat.

Dwarf video games: Basebuilding strategy FPSs that has a whole wiki page on the flexile vs tensile strengths of different building materials. Dwarven rhythm games have minigames where you have to manage supply lines. Mortals cannot comprehend dwarven grand strategy games.

Halfling video games: What appears on the surface to be a viscerally calming farming sim is actually an extraordinarily complex social combat game about cutthroat HOA politics.

Goblin video games: Wildly unbalanced collectathon gatchas where half the fun is finding new hilariously broken strategies. Zany uberviolent team shooters about bugs. MOBAs so bad it's almost art.

Orc video games: Addictive in-browser flash games with names like "Beast Crush 4" and "Borag Meat Game." The art is always kinda bad but in a charming way. The music always slaps.

#humans only have one game in this world and its counterstrike source :::

Also incredibly related is this tumblr post which I might go post here separately at some point. Or not.

I feel like this one is borderline, but maybe a decent baby's first automation game? Or if you just really like conveyor belts.

Not getting the option for alt text, so I'll put it here.

::: spoiler alt text A tumblr post by @memewhore, showing an Amazon listing: "DnD Dice Jail - Time Out Chair & Dunce Hat - Punish Your Bad Dice in our Chair Of Shame - Accessories / Gift for Dungeons and Dragons...." and the picture with the listing indeed shows a d20 in a small chair, with a red dunce cap on it.

@clickity-clack-math-rocks adds "I just need everyone to acknowledge this review of the misbehaving math rock chair" and posts a screenshot of a review. The review says "I've been struggling with some very poorly behaved dice during my current dnd campaign. So many crit fails, horrible luck on the wild magic table, and the list goes on. Even just having this chair present helps the dice remember who they are here to serve. I've had to make a few public examples, but after that the dice have been staying in line, even the d100s. My dm doesn't even know what to do anymore." :::

Got the transcript from u/Raisu- on Reddit, altered by me to make formatting work on Lemmy. Following that link will also take you to where I got the post from.

>Playing a female dragonborn

>GM asks what her breast size is

>I say she's as flat as a pancake

>GM decrees she in fact has doubles Ds

>Her clothes keep getting burnt off

>Once he describes her clothes getting burnt off despite the fact they had already burnt off earlier and she was still naked

>I fall a long way off a mountain and survive by using a Death Ward

>GM declares I leave a Wile E Coyote style hole with two enormous pits for my giant boobs

>We actually catch a kobold NPC using the boob pits

>I am legit sick of Double Dragon Titties

>Eventually hatch a plan for revenge

>DMNPC is an annoying overpowered wizard we all hate

>GM fucking loves the wizard and thinks his lolrandum fuckery of the party is hilarious

>In-character everyone decides that the wizard is an evil asshole and needs slaying

>We get the wizard in a cellar and cast an anti-magic field

>I slather my front in magical superglue we got from somewhere

>Grab the wizard, smash his face inbetween my giant boobs, then slam myself into the ground repeatedly

>Wizard suffocates between enormous dragon boobs and has every bone broken by 240 lbs of dragonborn crushing him

>GM argues that he wouldn't suffocate from being superglued to a chest

>"He wouldn't if I was flat, too bad you insisted I have giant bouncing dragontits."

So that's how I killed the DMNPC with the GM's magical realm.
