Replaying Final Fantasy X along with the @geeksandgrounds.bsky.social community over the next 2 months. I’ve tried to play through this game 2 times previously & feel off.

Comforting level design choices, a lovely and narratively insightful soundtrack, and a compelling story make South of Midnight an experience worth having despite its repetitive nature and lackluster combat. Our review: pentopixels.com/article/sout...

As tough as it was for any of us to form a coherent thought after this weekend, we still managed to spend a couple of hours chatting about PAX East as a whole and the games we played. It’s available for everyone — no Patreon subscription needed!
