We posted a while back about looking for coop game ideas in this subreddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/gameideas/comments/blut96/red_owl_games_is_looking_for_your_coop_game_ideas/ ) and I just wanted to post an update that we've chosen an idea to make over the next 5 months - Thanks /u/DCSoftwareDad !
Here is a blog post about it - https://redowlgames.com/blog/project-three
The game idea is (drum-roll please):
"A Defender-style side-scrolling shmup, but the top half of the screen is the sky and the bottom half is underwater. One player flies a plane up top, the other pilots a submarine on the bottom."
Tentative Title: Operation Cartwheel
Time Frame: Approximately five months
Working Cycles: 2-3 two week sprints per cycle, for a total of about 4 cycles
Start Date: May 12, 2019
End Date: September 30, 2019
We expect to hit the delays of life along the way (kid's activities, trips, sleep…) but would like to be posting regular updates on our progress with the first big update being at the end of our first cycle when we hope to have a vertical slice of the playable game. Wish us luck!

Kandi'kayn nudged Shandaar with his psychic powers as the psychic hologram shifted again. It showed four Young Ones trying to drive forward a clutch of combat slavespawn that were capable of rapid adaption to enemy actions as well as being psychically linked.
They were resisting being moved down the hallway to the point that the Young Ones were using their psychic powers to push them forward while the slavespawn's legs skittered on the flooring as they tried to push backwards.
**it appears the slavespawn are in no hurry to encounter the lemur** Kandi'kayn mused.
**how far have we fallen that our slavespawn show more pattern recognition and self-preservation than one such as the chief defense officer** Shandaar asked.
**they have fallen far convinced of their own superiority and perfection unaware that the universe ever moves on and the old falls away to the new** Kandi'kayn whispered back.
**what do you two plot** the Vessel Commander asked, rotating in place, held aloft by its psychic powers, phasic energy rippling below it.
**a plan** Shandaar admitted.
**of what sorts** the Vessel Commander asked, narrowing its eyes. It did not trust Shandaar at all, there was just something about the younger Atrekna that it did not trust.
**a plan to save ourselves from the mad lemur before it works itself into a high enough battle frenzy to rip through the bulkheads and kill us all** Shadaar said. She smiled to herself inside. **should the lemur become too frenzied it will not only seek to kill us all but it will seek out things to devour for nourishment as well as beings and objects to satisfy its sexual urgings which will only grow the longer it fights**
There was silence on the command deck for a long moment.
**what urges** the Vessel Commander asked.
**biological mammal sexual urges** Shandaar answered. **the Mad Lemurs of Terra are exceedingly violent in their sexual copulations violence is a part of their reproductive cycle and so violence excites them**
**sexually** Kandi'kayn added.
**how would you know this** the Vessel Commander scoffed.
**during the Siege of Nineteen Stars I observed lemurs ove

Like with Part 1 I will share one true crime case from every country, give a brief summary and provide a single source)
ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA: The Yacht Murders (January 28, 1994)
William Norman Clever and his wife Kathleen Marie were British tourist on a yacht cruise in Antigua and Barbuda and joining them was the Skipper Ian Trevor "Criddy" Cridland and Deckhand Thomas Williams. The yacht had docked at a beach in Low Bay when three men using a stolen speedboat boarded the yacht and bound the four with rope and gagged them before forcing them around a table. Afterwards they stole several thousand dollars and personal effects before shooting them all dead. Three men named Mellanson Harris, Marvin Joseph and Donald Samuel were arrested for this crime. Donald pleaded guilty and provided testimony and evidence to the prosecution so he was given a 15 year sentence for manslaughter while Mellanson and Marvin were sentenced to death but in 2016 had their sentences commuted to life.
ARGENTINA: The Catman/Hombre Gato (January 12, 2019)
Nicolás Gilad Pereg was a former member of the Israeli SDF born in 1981 who immigrated to Argentina in 2007. Even before any murders things weren't quite right. When he first arrived in Argentina he introduced himself by "Floda Reltih" And he willingly lived in subpar conditions with his home crowded and filthy as he slept on a mattress on the floor and had several adult dvds and magazines and received no basic services such as running water or electricity but despite this he took in 20 animals with 10 of them being cats. His mother and aunt who lived in Australia visited him however Nicolás strangled his mother with a lasso and killed his aunt with a shotgun before burying them. Nicolás was kept isolated after his arrest due to threats of self harm/suicide and strange behavior such as denying the murder of his mother because it would go against his wishes to father a child with her and also wished for his cats to be in the cell with him. He also believed himself to be a cat stating that if he is found guilty h
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Disclaimer: I say American healthcare specifically only because I've never been treated for a chronic medical condition in another country.
3 years ago I was a Pro Crossfitter. A health nut in every aspect. When I'd go in for a medical checkup the doctor would practically shoo me out of the office as if I was such a picture perfect image of health that I was wasting everyone's time by coming in for a physical once a year. Then I caught a cold. When I just about recovered from that, I got costochondritis; which is basically inflammation of the chest wall. Of course, I didn't know that at the time. At the time, it felt like I was on the verge of having a heart attack at any moment. My chest was constantly tight, I couldn't take full breaths and I had constant palpitations. Several urgent care visits amounted to nothing more than me being told they couldn't see a problem with my heart and being handed Prednisone. So I figured that I must have some deceptively hidden, unknown condition that doctors couldn't detect and would be dropping dead at any moment as a result. Because now I was getting more than chest pain; I was getting dizziness and joint pain and nausea. This went on and on; my primary care doctor offered no solutions, so I'd researched every symptom that I had and the possible conditions that could be causing it. I would then ask my doctor to do blood tests that would detect those conditions. Nothing. My doctor prescribed me antacids. For the nausea, joint pain, dizziness and palpitations. Antacids. Ok. I took them. It's my doctor right? They know what's best.
After 2 weeks on the antacids with no improvement, my doctor decides I must have some sort of post viral fatigue and prescribes a 7 day antibiotic treatment. I comply. I'm now taking my antacid and the antibiotics. All of the symptoms get worse; and now I have crippling abdominal pain. I chalk it up to side effects of the antibiotics and press on. I finish all the medication and feel like hell. Everything hurts, I can't train and depression is kicking in. The stomach gets worse and I return to the doctor and remind her that everything hurts and I feel like being set on fire would feel better than I feel right now. I want answers, she thinks I must want painkillers. I remind her (as I have many times) that I was drugged and molested as a child and would not take sedatives or painkillers of any kind under any circumstance. After a while, I realize that she couldn't care less about getting to t

But that’s comparing apples to oranges
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
Please don’t sugarcoat it. I worked an all-nighter working on this project and in the morning, I looked back and realised that it really wasn’t that good. I feel that it’s possibly the worst of my writing pieces. I don’t know if I was exaggerating or underestimating how bad my project was, so I decided that I would see if Reddit thought the same.
This is it.
Chapter one: The legends
The Viper Skull desert was born, and served as a base of operations for the terrorists to carry out their evil plans.
A boulder flew above. The elves of the village cowered and hid in their houses. Lost were the days where you didn’t hear the screams of the war and the crashing of the rocks raining upon the battlefield. The war was the capital’s fault, they said. The war was the humans fault, the humans started it. The village looked up. “a misfire” one of them said, as the Boulder approached them from the sky. There was no escape, it was too close. They knew it was bad to live near the front line. The Boulder covered the whole sky now. It squashed them and their feeble buildings like glass to a mallet. They ended up obsolete, insignificant, all because of the unreliable machinery that the elves used to kill the enemy. Forgotten, all because of a misfire of an unreliable superweapon.
The chieftain entered the great hall, with his braided hair shining like a bank full of gold, his imperial ministers in his royal shadow, brimming with loyalty. King Veralma walked to his throne and started his meeting. “My king, we have developed a way to finally end this war and rid the earth of the human scum” The ministers nodded, and the chair minister, Fernir, stood up. “We have been inside the safety of Attlenatch for a long time my lord, and I felt it necessary to finally start work on a weapon that will lend us the salvation we desire” Velma nodded his head, and urged the minister to continue “Attlenatch is a place of heavenly goodness, and it’s imperial prowess is rivaled by no other city. With it’s beauty comes unrivalled power. So much so, that-” Velma caught wind of what he was going to propose. “You have the audacity to suggest we use the core-” “This time is different, I assure you, my king! We will be able to finally take down the humans in one fell swoop,” As he was about to protest further, Velma saw someone at the door of the meeting.
The guards rushed behind the banners to find an ominous cloaked figure. The cloaked one dashed out of the guard's grip and escaped throu

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
And now I’m cannelloni
Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.
I won't be doing that today!
And boy are my arms legs.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
Where ever you left it 🤷♀️🤭
