Reminded of One for PS1, perhaps a contender for the single hardest game to search for online. I'm sure it seemed like such a good idea back in 1997.

I love when games inexplicably wind up with different names in every region. It still bums me out that OZ: Over Zenith never got an American release with a fourth different name to further fuck things up. They had the chance to do something great and they fumbled.

The PAL version, called The Sword of Etheria

The Korean version, called Chains of Power

I feel like as the years pass, we're forgetting who the true meme king of BlueSky is. And he doesn't like to be forgotten.

An edited screenshot of the battle with Exdeath in Final Fantasy V. The Exdeath tree trunk is now Alf, labelled Neon Genesis Alf. The party characters are Brian Quest, Moon Child, The Ooze, and Nanao. Alf's dialogue reads "I am Alfa and Omega... The beginning and the end... The tip and the shaft..."

Also, don't @ me if you're not calling this bad boy Tales of Eternia in the year of our lord 2026. There's a 24 year old game called Tales of Destiny 2 that's an actual sequel to Tales of Destiny, lads. Having one game called Tales of Destiny II and one called Tales of Destiny 2 is actual savagery.

All I'll say re: localised titles versus original titles is that it'll be a cold day in hell before I accept "Lightening Force", "Wings of Wor", "Brahma Force", or "Magic Pengel".

I have so much second hand nostalgia for this game after a friend streamed it and I rearranged / loosely reinterpreted some of the tunes. I feel like I need to sit down and commit to finishing it at some point, just for the sake of completeness.

I made this one around the same time I guess, but I didn't like it as much and never finished. Was for the same abandoned homebrew project.

This slightly ugly rabbit was bought for me by my dad the day I was born, and has managed to stay with me all the way into adulthood. I got it into my head recently that she should have transitioned with me at some point, and got her a nice dress. It suits her so well, and I am irrationally pleased.

A very old, slightly ugly, and very well-loved plush rabbit. She is now wearing a red frilly dress with a big ribbon on the front.

As a slime, I should weight in on the RPG discourse and let you know that by rejecting random encounters, you're putting so many slimes, drackeys, and other low level monsters out of a job.

I'm regularly praised at work by folk I deal with for how kind and caring I apparently sound in emails. But I'm writing the exact same way I've always written, which has never been singled out for praise in any job I've had before. I really think AI has warped people's expectations in a big way.

Hey, everyone! The *Thunder Force* series is a really popular title among shooting game fans in Japan. But I get the feeling there are even more die-hard fans outside of Japan. Yamaoh played the drums with all his heart. I want everyone to shout out their love for Thunder Force V
