It’s like 5 great FF games in one. Has my two top villains in the entire series, my favorite music in the series, and it has so many wonderful tributes to the games that came before it

It was the first one I put a lot of time into and I’ve always loved the characters, the 5 member party, the music, and the extreme melodrama that constantly has you thinking someone just died

We need more men like Dan Levy and fewer men like Shane Gillis. Stop being complacent. Stand up and call this shit out when it happens. www.instagram.com/p/DeYSYNXMcbH/

Final Fantasy messed this up for me so much that I almost never think to do it on newer RPGs that often do allow you to hit bosses with those sweet, sweet debuffs

It’s such a bummer. I’ve been an avid gamer my entire life with no gaps, and I think gaming has never been better. But the rising costs of everything and everyone running to gen-AI is going to make me become one of those “retired” gamers sticking to older consoles 😞

Started with FF I probably around 1991. And FF IV is still my favorite, although XIV is probably the actual favorite overall

I love the concept of RPG demos where progress carries over, but I don’t love missing out on the trophies you would have gotten if you played the retail copy from the start

Danny Trejo agreeing to this never quite felt right with everything else I heard about him. I really hope this is true. Fuck Ben Shapiro.

I hope listeners don’t mind these weekly deep-dives into Fire Emblem. That game sounds MASSIVE, but talking to my cohost is selling me on it despite that daunting runtime

As we get closer to the release of Street Fighter I was thinking about the first time I saw SF II and picked Zangief because I thought his scars were from his muscles being too big and I thought that was so cool:

I will always love the way a character marks up the maps in a Silent Hill game.

Won’t be this week’s because I finished it right after recording. But I will be spoiling everything next week because 90% of my issues are story and character related

After finishing Wolverine I’m in a weird spot thinking about adaptations and when creative liberties stray too far. I can “Marvel No-Prize” my way out of most MCU changes, but a lot of stuff done to the characters in the Wolverine game are just…fundamentally wrong and miss the point in some cases

It feels like we just started our third season a few weeks ago, but it’s already time to start reaching out to schedule guests for our (sadly final) game of the year deliberation podcasts. GotY will return in season 4, but it’ll look much different since we can’t afford to keep up on releases.

I played a good chunk of it a couple years ago for a Patreon episode we did. It made me think that it could have been an inspiration for Demon’s Souls with its weird secrets and “learn by failing” structure. Gave me more respect for it

Congrats! One of my favorite mounts for sure

Hell is Us was one of my favorite games from last year, and I think it deserves more attention. Adding 10 new enemies fixes a major issue with the game, which was enemy variety. youtu.be/kJOQ8HcMtrE

It’s a deep dive into episodes of sitcoms that explore elements of LGBT topics or how the shows are seen by that audience. Been a really cool show to look at things I like through a totally different lens

Definitely still going through it after cancer surgery. Energy levels crater out of the blue sometimes, and my mind continues to get overloaded easily. I really hope this isn’t my new “normal”

I bought a PS5 Pro at launch. It was a stupid amount of money that I justified thanks to some Patreon money and the desire to give my base PS5 to my FFXIV friend that I duo with. 900 bucks is a stupider amount of money, and 1400 is RIGHT OUT. Base PS5 will do you fine.

While I’m concerned about Konami wanting the series to be annual, if they continue making such different takes on the series by different developers I can’t complain

I went into the movie yesterday unaware of the reception other than knowing it bombed. I was also turned off by the trailer as you were. I left that theater in awe, and I can’t stop thinking about this film

This week, Justin realizes how big Fire Emblem really is, Julian finishes Ledgerbound, and we saw a ton of movies. Sometimes you spend two hours working on a 5 minute bit. Enjoy! player.captivate.fm/episode/6e1c...

This is what turned me off from the trailers. It just feels odd tonally with what I’ve read of Hal Jordan and John Stewart

I can totally understand why Digger bombed. It’s also one of my favorite movies of the year.

Hadn’t played Wolverine since that first week (been busy and not in a good headspace). Decided to jump back in during my lunchbreak and it was a great little tasting of everything I like about it. That’s got me excited again to see it all the way through

Julian Titus @juliantitus.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

This has been on my wishlist since the demo dropped. Stoked to hear that it’s reviewing well. I loved what I played
