There were three bosses I wound up encountering much later than I was "supposed" to and the result was them falling over in like they were regular enemies. I felt robbed of some nice boss fights... At least the final boss was the best in the game. Chef's kiss.

Finished the new Castlevania. 99.2% Completion! A rock solid A-Tier Metroidvania that gets a recommendation from me! Could have done with some more enemy variety, and would have preferred static balancing rather than the RPG-like level up system. But overall, it was a damn good time.

Around 60% done with the new Castlevania, and I emerge from my cave to find that apparently its reception is very polarizing? What do you MEAN. I have decided that the people who don't like it are weak, and shall not survive winter. This goes double for those whining it's not like the Igavanias.

So do I have this right? The newly announced FE: Fortune's Weave expansion is adding four new campaigns, on top of the base game's four campaigns? I've already been hearing that FW is stupid long, this is hilarious... And exciting! But first, I must finish Awakening and Three Houses.

Please, oh please let the Ocarina of Time Remake have a hard difficulty option I was looking at today's new footage and I saw a Stalfos deal only a half heart of damage. Crimes have been committed

Not to mention the fact that Chrom, Robin, Lucina, Morgan, and Donnel make up 80% of my army's total power. And of that 80%, Donnel the GOAT is 70%. Will probably just take this lot into all missions and select the rest based on what enemies/terrain are present.

I have 29 party members and there are signs there's like 12+ more, yet I only ever use maybe 12-14 simultaneously at most, with some maps having 6-8. Starting to see futility in building more than 2 capped-out Supports per character, to be honest...

Still making strong headway through Fire Emblem Awakening. Completed Ch. 14! Maybe this is just coming from my inexperience with the Tactics genre (Awakening is my first); my biggest complaint is that I think the game has too many characters for its own good.

Playing on a PvP server is 5% experiencing the ideal fantasy of the concept, 95% being frustrated that your questing area is being swarmed by enemy players so you run over to the other end of the world just to find even more, then you get corpse camped for an hour. PvE for me, 100%

Just rolled credits on Lies of P, after 38.6 hours of gametime. Still have the expansion left to record, but it's a big milestone none the less! Yeah. This game is definitely as good as everyone says it is. THE best non-From Software Soulslike, and stands shoulder to shoulder with From as equals.

Blizzard is lightning fast at shifting little numbers around. It's the big mechanical pillars that get moved glacially. Like Azerite Armor in BfA, or Covenants in Shadowlands, which were criticized to shreds the second they were unveiled (rightly so) and then took many months to see change.

Running dungeons as you level up is a way to get great gear as an alternative to crafting. Oh, and make a dedicated banking/auctioning character you park in capital cities. Mail your gathered ores/herbs/etc to them, so you can keep your main out in the world while your alt does the selling.

Been playing more Fire Emblem Awakening. Turns out there are DLC levels made for just getting tons of EXP and money while enemies don't initiate fights with you. Like, this is one step removed from hacking... Bizarre. Also I married Chrom and I want his baby first in me, and then in my army. Yay!

Did you see that someone made a WoW add-on that audits people you Trade with to check their in-game stats (time played, quests completed, auction house usage, etc) and determine how likely it is that their gold is legit? The arms race is developing.

Ultra Sun & Moon has the most interesting boss fight encounters and a huge variety of pokemon to find, though the opening hours of the game are slooow. Otherwise I recommend Black & White, Black & White 2, or Emerald. The level curve/balancing in HeartGold/SoulSilver is awful, do not recommend

hey hey HEY HEY!!! HANDS OFF MY MAN. Also, it's crazy how fast I'm playing through it, I'm literally three times as fast as when I was LPing it. Also also. I actually forgot Kellam existed. I'm serious. I can't stop giggling.

In truth, I began making a poll to ask the community what I should do. But in that moment, my heart made its decision. And I must follow it. Right into Chrom's muscular, toned arms. Uh I mean into the New Game button.

📣❗Important Announcement! After MUCH soul searching and consideration, I've decided to formally drop my LP of Fire Emblem: Awakening. I want to start anew and play it for myself, and get on to Three Houses and Fortune's Weave in turn. I shall be fem!Robin and smooch on Chrom. My heart's desire.

I've achieved a science. I've browsed multiple World of Warcraft forums in the wake of the WoW Forever beta release and I have concluded that not one soul on this earth knows how to behave normally about this friggin' game Some people gnash their teeth and wail. Me? I wanna play on da playground.

The reviews for Fire Emblem FW sure are head turning! Equally head turning are the mentions of its immense length. I'm still down to return to FE Awakening in mid to late 2027 but the Switch FE games seem to be much larger than I bargained for. Might wind up playing those on my own time. Who knows.

Modern WoW relatively recently brought back expansive talent trees, but it retains the "Specialization" focus. If you're a Fury Warrior, you could never ever Tank. Meanwhile in vanilla, you could slap on a shield and do some solid off-tanking as primarily Fury.

Third expansion, Cataclysm. Not only did they overhaul the original game world, they severely changed all class design. Instead of having three talent trees you could freely invest points in, they made you choose one tree to lock into as the end-all, be-all of determining how your class played.

Sooo apparently, on the EU version of the Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct specifically, they showed a slightly different logo for Majora's Mask that had a different font for the subtitle. Look at that J and R. Did. Did they do a goof. And use a WIP logo for a Majora's Mask remake. What is happening.
The image shows the logo for Majora's Mask. However, the font used for the subtitle is different, with the J and R in particular looking heavily stylized.

The rotation seems great. You have four colored symbols and do specific tag-team attacks with your beast to do combos based on the color combinations. Then you have your beast explode for big damage and pull out the next beast. Also it brought back the TP bar from the dead

The image shows a black cat in repose, resting belly-up on a bedsheet. A single paw is stretched out.The photo is a close-up of a black cat's face. His fangs and lower teeth are prominently seen, as his mouth is slightly hanging open. His right eye is closed. His left eye is open just a crack.Another angle of the sleeping cat's face. His mouth is open slightly wider and both eyes are open. He has a disgruntled look on his face.

it's a scientific fact
The image is the main box art for the game Chrono Trigger. Marle is seen using magic to light Crono's sword aflame, who has leapt off of Frog's back to strike a big monster with his magical sword from above.

A garish and poorly drawn red arrow is pointing at the scene, with the text "the coolest thing invented by humanity to date" seen nearby.

Only if you're interested in the historical value, to see where a titan of the industry got its start. Early FF is pretty abrasive if you're not already familiar with NES / SNES RPGs. I recommend FF 6, 7, 9, or 10 if you like turn-based, or FF7 Remake if you like real-time action combat.
