Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 09/09/2026First half of direct was whatever, second half was solid. Metroid Ravenous carried pretty hard, but Kirby's also cool. 050
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 02/09/2026How did Tangled's ending line up so much with KH3's ending 120
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I fall in love with Blizzard more every time I play. Saves me sooooo much trouble. 120
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Toy Box's story is one of the better integrated worlds in the series. Obviously the Org shows up and there's the Yozora stuff, but the entire story is also one giant metaphor for Xion's own feelings too. 020
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Was thinking about how many games struggle with balancing instant death spells and how Dragon Quest handles it in a fun way by giving them to healers. It gives them some offensive utility without just making them good at all magic. 120
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 23/08/2026There's a very specific feel a lot of the ruins have in the Dusk games, and I'm not sure how to describe it. Melancholic maybe? 150
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 22/08/2026This fight is really, really fun, but it's quite the experience to play it right after I finished 2 where these enemies are complete pushovers Shout out to the amazing Dusk wall splat animation at 1:30 020
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Been awhile since I've done a playthrough of KH3, but I'm really excited to revisit it. 070
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 22/08/2026QTP with your favorite Pokémon Good old Galvantula. One of the best designs out there and 90% accurate Thunder is no joke 030
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 22/08/2026They touched on this sort of thing a little bit in Ayesha, but I like how much the story is focusing on how Shallistera has no idea how to live in a big city after being in a tight knit community all her life. 000
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Playing an Atelier game without a time management aspect is definitely a little weird. Not like Escha & Logy was exactly rushing you, but it's still very different. 110
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I'm back here at last Very curious about this one, because I hear a lot of varied opinions on it compared to the other Dusk games 180
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Terra could've prevented the whole series if he just used that stupid bow move on Xehanort It's finally over, I've done everything now 030
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 18/08/2026That went more smoothly than I thought it would. About 3 or 4 gave me a lot of trouble, but most weren't too different from the normal fights. 020
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 16/08/2026KH2 is a good game but it's weird. Sora feels amazing to play and has so many options, but almost all the enemies are punching bags who die to everything. It's barely an RPG, and the level design is just hallways. Like it's fun, but it leaves me so conflicted. 280
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Best Heartless boss in KH2! Pirates suffering from status effects is cool but underutilized because of how easy they are anyway. Getting a whole boss based around it is the best thing the game could've done here. 020
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 12/08/2026You would think that the Ansem SoD/Ansem the Wise twist was there to retcon him into being a benevolent leader all along, but the game literally starts with him ruining Roxas's life 030
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Organization XIII is way too concerned about Sora, when they should be worrying about Chicken Little. I knew the firecrackers were good against human bosses, but not *this* good. 020
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Revisiting Golden is proving my theory that the longer the victory screen, the better an RPG feels to play. Doesn't even matter if you get nothing useful, battles ending with Shuffle Time feel 10 times more satisfying than the ones without it. 020
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Spending three days just to start a social link is a little extreme, but I like how much it makes him stick out. You can tell how much trouble he has getting along with other people because of how much you have to go out of your way for him. 020
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Sometimes I think about how Rise has an unbeatable boss fight and works as a navigator for another boss fight five minutes after this 010
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 07/08/2026It loses some points for the mindless RC spam at the start, but I mostly like this fight. You rarely get arenas this small in KH2, and it highlights elemental weaknesses and Wisdom's mobility pretty well. 000
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I'm liking how Gaiden-esque Fortune's Weave is looking. Classes for attacking in lines is a really interesting addition. However, the amount of time between chapters seems a bit much. Engage was already pushing it for me. 030
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I wish KH2 had more enemies as well designed as Hot Rods. It's ten times more fun when you're actually being challenged. 020
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 02/08/2026The cave fight's a lot better that I remembered, best in the game so far. Assault Riders can be pretty scary this early without drives or limits. 000
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Time to jump into KH2. It'll be interesting to see if my thoughts change on it, because even though I have mixed feelings on it, it's been a long time since my last playthrough. 150
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 31/07/2026I forgot how sudden this was 😭 Not even in her SL, it just happens 060
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 31/07/2026I've never really understood why they did the bad cooking thing for Priestess again, the very next game. It made sense for Fuuka's self confidence issues, but the connection to Yukiko's problems are a lot iffier. 020

Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 27/07/2026There was a time when I wasn't that big on KH1 compared to other games in the series, but the more I understand it, the more I realize it might actually be the best one. Best enemy design, best level design, best build variety, and as simple as it is, still a really solid story. 140
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 26/07/2026This is one of the most beautiful stories I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I cannot possibly overstate how special this was. To be able to search for happiness despite everything means the world 180
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Unknown would be my favorite fight in KH1 if it weren't for that shock minigame they constantly make you do. Everything else is basically perfect, great way to cap off the game's combat. 010
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Wasted most of the summon because the Darkballs phasing out, but Simba still managed to delete half of the waves anyway 131
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Been thinking more and more that enemy design is the most important part of any action game. Even a game with pretty basic combat options gets interesting if you're constantly having to adjust your strategy. 020
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 16/07/2026There was five minutes of Ciel backstory and now I feel physically sick I don't know if I even want to hear the rest holy shit 010
Volt @voltshine.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Random day 7 thoughts Ciel misunderstanding the situation and thinking Shiki was tricked by Arcueid into fighting Vlov, only for Arcueid to ACTUALLY start strong-arming him to fight vampires later that day is a whole terrifying mess. 110
