Tomodachi Life?? A year to hang out with my wife and a gaggle of good-natured D&D weirdoes, plus my favorite games/full RPG series anthologies available for 5 dollars per SERIES?? I don't even NEED the 250000k. I'll PAY

Been playing a lot of Cladun X3, but I feel like I just can't get online to work without putting in specific addresses. If you've got it and want to download a few random D&D folks or Dragon Quest monsters, mine's at 9682-7428. I'll happily take a code if you've got one.

Sitting down and considering fantasy species archetypes I'd put in a completely self-indulgent worldbuilding project built entirely to my preferences. Orcs get in free, obviously, but there's definitely gotta be a Plant Guy and a Construct guy. Maybe both at once. PF2's "conrasu" sound so cool.

Allowing you to write your own custom combat barks and callouts is one of the coolest things a game can do. All the more incredible when it actually vocalizes them as written in the audio, as it does in Freedom Wars.

In my experience, games that give you tools to tell yourself stories can be just as memorable and powerful as games built entirely around more direct storytelling.

once more we have hit that part of the tabletop RPG where we encounter a boss significant and powerful enough to get a pre-fight cutscene. once more I burst into sony vegas like a husky taking down a poorly-attached baby gate

A screenshot of a scattered project in the video editing software Sony Vegas. The preview of the video features lines of text reading: "Grief can unite the mortal minds that share it. Those that bear it alone are destroyed. Against tragedy, familial love can be a shield of iron. But iron can be reforged into cruel weapons indeed."

It is done. These will make some handsome non-coconut nanaimo bars. Or as my in-laws have come to call them, "Canadian crack".

This is, by the widest possible margin, the most insane ad I have ever seen for a Final Fantasy game

A garish 90s-colored ad for Final Fantasy III for Super Nintendo. Most of it seems to be a free association rant vaguely about Final Fantasy III, declaring that "this ain't no sissy game" and talking about how fighting games suck.

Picked up Etrian Odyssey Nexus again (after a hunt to find the cartridge) and settling in for comfortable postgame. Always lovely to have my guild filled up with people who I'll probably never field in the party, but would nevertheless like to spend life in a fantasy world with.

I bounced off Monster Hunter the first time I tried (ascribing it to having more of a Rancher mindset) but I keep wondering if there's some PSO-adjacent gameplay nougat in there I could really get lost in, if I could just reach it.

Grabbed the Romancing SaGa 2 remake. The promise of dynastic fantasy is too sweet to pass up. Plus, all reports indicate folks who had likewise bounced off the 16-bit incarnations found this version much easier to stick with...

One of my favorite little signs I've come across so far is this one, which at first looks like it would be warning you about the monsters depicted on it... but it actually reads "prizorgu viajn dentoja" or "take care of your teeth"

Meanwhile, the symbol next to these height markings at the Hushed Honeybee are what first got me really curious about the language to begin with. I assumed from the start that they were for Maria, but the symbol (which corresponds to the letter M) all but confirms it

Not long now until I close VA auditions for my teeny tiny visual novels. Even if I'm not making these for any sort of public consumption, it's so invigorating to have a personal project that's low-scope enough for completion to be within sight.

I'm not sure if Microsoft has gravely misinterpreted Veilguard's genre, or if I have.

Having wishlisted Dragon Age Veilguard, the Xbox store suggests as similar games "Tour de France 2024, Smurfs Kart, and Return to Monkey Island.

I was marked to do QA on this title, and the credits will attest to as much... but through uncommon circumstance and the kindness of my then-boss, this game's item list was my proving: the first text I was made to localize. Names and descriptions flashed by in a matter of giddy, reverent hours.

Happy launch day to Metaphor: ReFantazio. After eight years, what remains to be said? How sappy can I possibly get without straight-up quoting the game itself? Everyone who worked on the game poured immense amounts of craft, love, and hope into it. I hope you can feel as much in playing it.
