Ben

That's exactly how I feel

Yeah I remember realising at some point during all the to-ing and fro-ing that I didn't fancy another 40 hours of it

Fell off the 3DS version of DQVII around Al-Balad because I thought the game was slow & the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. Up to Vogograd in Reimagined now though & if I have a criticism it's that when I try to squeeze they slap my hand away and tell me I'm in juice country now. That aside, I ♡ it

This MD player combines two of my favourite things: Final Fantasy VIII and stuff I don’t need

Earthbound Markers (2024)

Wow amazing! The similarities really are there. I'm watching through Zeta for the first time atm and I really see what you mean about Fa's dynamic with Kamille. Btw Quattro's reminding me a little of Balthier in how he's suave and competent but seems to be hiding from his past/actual identity

I also wonder with how dense Tomino stuff can be if efficiency was a factor. Like if he didn't want to waste any time at all with audience surrogates or hints to tell you what to think

That feels like such a risky choice but really it's just having faith in the audience to draw their own conclusions haha. Did you feel betrayed by Vayne later on?

How so? Honestly I'm not too familiar with Tomino protagonists

A review of Gundam Reconguista in G Movie I: Go! Core Fighter (2019) I haven't seen any of the compilation movies yet, but the thing is THE THING IS G-Reco is the Tomino work that made me get Tomino, and even if its pacing is completely off the wall sometimes, the show...

from here haha:

Thought these paragraphs on Tomino were fascinating. I wonder about the 'no one else does this' part though. What about Yasumi Matsuno? Reading this I was reminded of FFXII

Dragon Quest 2 HD-2D expanding on themes of recognizing that the critical weakness of a seemingly unstoppable enemy is that they all hate each other as much as they hate everything else and have no cohesion or loyalty beyond access to power was a warm blanket for a winter playthrough.

asking my wife if she wants to watch wonder man on disney plus

I saw many brilliant details in 3 hours with Resident Evil 9, but my fave was how unnecessarily pressing reload with a full clip as Grace makes her instead pull the slide with trembling hands to double check the chamber. My obsessive reloading neuroses when entering a scary room became /hers/, too.

My Dreamcast asking me to set the date, and showing the Japanese launch date of 27th of November 1998.

"Dreamcast", a haiku

Each day he rises.
Asks me, "Is it still launch day?"
"Yes," I lie. "Always."

He then says "I'm such an IDIOT! GOSH!" The game is Heracles no Eikou: Ugokidashita Kamigami

The powerful thing about FF7 OG is how even innocuous paths that are only ever traveled once had to be their own dedicated pre-rendered areas. The sewers under Don Cornio's mansion is the spot for me; completely unimportant area that would be tilesets in an older game but had to be fully crafted

Final Fantasy VII, on the path to Mt Corel, you enter via a rocky path that leads to a beautiful sunset over the mountains. It's one of my favorite places in the game.

Yeah we hammered the multiplayer. That chasm level was amazing. Also the bot customisation was 10/10

Ah no I played 2 and Future Perfect loads when they came out haha. Went back and played through 2's campaign again last week though. I don't remember the levels being that pared down, but it was still a great time! Except Robot Factory

Trivia: In my logo, only the “i” is lowercase. It represents a tiny “love” (pronounced [aɪ] in Japanese) just starting to bloom between Elliot and Claris — a small love story. 私が作ったこのロゴ、「i」だけが小文字ですね？ これは、芽生え始めた「小さな"愛"」を意味しているのです。

Wake up babe, new NiGHTS lore just dropped.

I just finished this game the other day! On this level I beat Tony but then had to sprint around looking for a whiskey barrel I forgot to drain
