ICYMI I wrote about how Square Enix teased the potential to continue the Final Fantasy VII Remake series beyond Revelation, and how they could do it (and IF they do it), for a @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social post. www.dcgameblog.com/2026/10/cogn...

"Samus, wipe your feet as you enter." "Huh? On what?" "On the Metroid Prime rug, of course!" Looking through auction sites for images of something specific and came across this rug being sold alongside another GameCube disc design mat.

ICYMI I updated last night's Super Metroid livestream announcement on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social with the YouTube VOD. I got my mitts on the screw attack, and found and defeated Ridley. The Metroid is gone, though.

The mystery movie ended up being Verity. Not my normal style of movie, but going in blind was a fascinating experience. I respect Verity for leaving the ending completely up to audience interpretation. After a busy week, I finally managed to get some Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave in before bed.
From the movie, Verity. Small-time author Lowen Ashleigh reads from best-selling author Verity Crawford's book, "Hospitality."Screenshot from Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. A short political discussion before a large match. Anatolia talks to Leda. She says "I get the sense that it'd be challenging to find someone here who'd consider both sides..."

I’m getting late into Unicorn Overlord, and I’m thinking I made a mistake by focusing on promoting all my units first instead of maxing out each unit size. But the game is hardly unmanageable, and I’m still hooked. The Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse demo isn’t too bad either. More on that tomorrow.
