Was it worth getting a Bahamut took 12 hours of tattooing over 2 days, including in my knee ditch and down to my ankle. I think so. Did it hurt? Yes 😭 (Another awesome tattoo from Kris at Amity Tattoo in San Diego)

All right well now that I solved a really stupid issue: This is your reminder that you should build shipping builds often to catch dumb issues (like not updating references to maps you're not using anymore, corrupted models, and assets not being included in packages)

This is my pov right now. My kids have played many of the originals but it's sometimes hard for them to get past the controls (n64 especially) and the look when they are used to modern games. The kids yearn for dungeons! My son literally said "i want i play this bc it's Switch controls"
