Fortune's Weave is already very long, and I'm making it longer because I refuse to advance past the battle prep screen until I get through a full loop of its theme

"the next chapter for [studio]" is the sort of euphemistic headline that usually hides grim news so i'm glad it wasn't that

I thought my problem with FE would be choice paralysis, but it's actually "I'm worried I forgot about a mechanic so I'm not sure if I have more weekly tasks to complete or if I'm good to head back out to the world map" paralysis

I almost never play two big long narrative games at the same time but I'm unwilling to drop either Fire Emblem or the new Trails remake so we're just gonna keep seeing how that goes. So far: I am pressing the wrong button a lot

I played some of the Sky 2nd prologue and then some of the Fire Emblem prologue, and by coincidence I had consecutive lines from the same voice actor across the games

Trails in the Sky SC is in the running for my favorite video game of all time; review score discourse aside, it is genuinely wild to see its remake going toe to toe with Fire Emblem on aggregator sites

I got a marketing email that said "Hey, we're gonna have a sale for people on our mailing list soon but you unsubscribed at some point -- you should resubscribe now!" I feel like there's been a fundamental misunderstanding of what 'unsubscribing' suggests

Singing to trigger the ocarina tunes is a cute idea and a fun gimmick, but it'll also be useful for millennials who imprinted on the shape of the N64 controller and can't rewire their muscle memory to play a different gamepad ocarina. I remember messing up the buttons on the 3DS version constantly

From a Reddit thread called "What is your LEAST favorite baseball fact?"
Reddit user SirParsifal: "The point of this entire enterprise is to entertain us with baseball games. The point of it is not to decide who is the best team. […] There is no scenario where the universe will care or remember who the best team was out of this collection of collections. It only matters inasmuch as we create this illusion that it matters. If you lose even the illusion, then it becomes problematic. But the point is not to have the illusion; the point is to entertain people and make them forget that we are all dying right in front of each other — that this is just this horrible, rotten slog to rigor mortis, that we are going to lose everybody we know, that we are going to lose everything we have and the only way to distract ourselves is by separating our day into distractions."

Reddit user nerfosa: "I was looking more for ‘Lou Whitaker isn’t in the HOF even thought he should be’ but this works too lol"

I suppose the leading Hobonichi candidate for me this year is this V&A collab (and it feels appropriate since I was just there earlier this year!), but...I dunno. The Morris textile is great but way busier than what I usually go for, and the quote on the pen flap feels like gilding the lily

I was on hold last week and the hold music was, like, 4.1 bars long. It was extremely repetitive and the loop point sucked ass. I can't stop thinking about it. I was on hold again somewhere else just now and it was a regular entire song playing and I was like "damn, wish I had that awful loop again"
