Sony: You like Kojima? No you don't shut up. You don't like physical discs, either! Microsoft: Hope you like Kojima because we killed almost every other studio we own! Nintendo: Deploy your favorite Blades into battle! ⚔️

Ugh, Obsidian was 1 of 2 studios (other is Double Fine) that I feel was really doing the Lord's Work for Microsoft and got neat & interesting games out regularly & reliably. Double Fine got to escape at least. Then again, they knew that they couldn't make Double Fine make a new Fallout game.

with all the bluster about the shoddy new Dodopachi port and previously the Raiden Fighters port, it really goes to show how the Xbox 360 really was "the shmup system" the same way the SNES was "the RPG system"

So as it turns out... Huntsville, AL finally has its own Aetheryte! Right by Wicks Family Field at Joe Davis Stadium. Which begs the question for @en.finalfantasyxiv.com, what's Vesper Bay's excuse?

An illuminated structure in Huntsville, AL. It's glowing blue and purple hues. It also looks oddly like an aetheryte from Final Fantasy XIV.
