I started pokemon in gen 1, but Gen 5 was always my favorite. I think it struck a good balance between challenge, discovery and aging up the story a little. For what people didnt like (being able to rely on old favorites), I strongly enjoyed as it made me feel like I was just as green as my avatar.

I think that there can be a gradient of difficulty in video games between, 'just learning to read' and dark souls. I guess I am saying that main line pokemon games could do well to add a bit more difficulty to them. Kids can figure stuff out, we did even when the games were a buggy mess.

In Pokopia, you can only ask 5 other pokemon to walk with you at a time. Fridge logic... because in #pokemon games, a trainer can only have 6 pokemon in a party and... you're the sixth.

Thanks @serebii.bsky.social for the pokemon symbols for pokemon 30! Gotta save some of my favs... #pokemon

Played a ton of Pokopia over the weekend. This game is definitely fun out of 10! I can't wait to play it again soon. #videogames #switch2

RPG stands for Roleplaying Game. Just as some people try to make video games into movies, I guess there are always those that look to change roleplaying games into something that are not games. But I don't understand why people have issues with the game in roleplaying games.

These days the more things change the more things stay the same. I see a lot of gnashing of teeth about the Switch 2 and I am just reminded of the old days and news articles like this. #videogames #nintendo youtu.be/MTzyz2TgGls?...

Whoa - Suikoden Anime! youtu.be/kXssTd_3R3Q?...

I grew up on the old tmnt but I actually like the 2003 TMNT best. The DVD box set I own is very blurry though which is a shame.

Me just sitting here. . . . . . . . . I wanna play Code Name Viper.

Gonna need From Software to get the Elden Ring Switch 2 edition up to code. I'm getting the urge to play it again and I don't have an xbone anymore.

We deserve an Alundra 1 re-release. All platforms. No man left behind. #videogames

My issue with mostly narrative ttrpgs is consistency. In my experience, narrative games have a higher chance to leading to unfair outcomes based on the outside factors (player popularity, etc), not the characters ability. Good rules can lead to emergent story telling in some cases. For example:

"I'm sick of companies making the same IPs and not innovating or making new games." Did you buy Giga Wrecker? Tembo? Little Town Wrecker? I bet not. #videogames

Gawd I love this show. Nothing like relaxing at the end of the day with Mary Tyler Moore.

I kind of like the current design of Zelda games - 'Here is a bunch of toys go nuts'. I think it works, and it's fun to see players come up with funny solutions to problems. I know people want to see traditional games again. I'm sure those are coming.

Why do "Honest opinion about xyz" videos have to be inherently negative? What does that say about our integrity that being positive about anything is seen as dishonest?

Imagine making a board game based on super heroes and making a card that essentially reads- "If this card resolves successfully, the players lose the game.". That's #MarvelChampions in a nutshell. I enjoy this game but everytime this card is drawn- we lose that turn or two turn cycles later.

Sometimes if feels like the only color in magic that has to strictly adhere to the color pie is red. I lost a game of commander immediately when a player played a pillowfort piece and I couldn't draw an out.

Any Game masters/Storytellers etc happen upon their old maps and such and get nostalgic? Happened to me and now I miss my old crew 😔 #ttrpg

I wish I could port my xenoblade X data from my Wiiu to my switch 2.

Too many games and not enough time! I want to take a day off of work and just play Fantasy Life i. #nintendo #switch #fantasylife

It's been confirmed that another ttrpg game I was a part of has officially ended. The GM had taken a long hiatus and had begun posting again. But he recently said that he wants to do other things. It's a shame because I loved my character. Alas, it's how things go. #ttrpg

Couldn't agree more.

I was thinking about getting into RSS again and wouldn't you know it, Nintendo World Report is still supporting RSS! Love those guys ❤️

@auquid.bsky.social shared some really interesting photos from a Japanese Dragon Magazine article from 1994. I love the artwork from this era and its really cool to see this art in settings such as Mech Warrior and Shadowrun! #ttrpg #roleplaying

A lot of people are talking about valentines day and romance in regard to table top roleplaying games. I am currently playing a game where my character is in an unrequited love. My GM @justjarn.bsky.social said he feels bad for my character Rip haha

"Geeze! What do you mean I'm Grounded? I was pounding a supervision and now I have to watch the X-Mansion because I snuck out past curfew?!?" -Jubilee #MarvelChampions #sologame

I want Kei Truck in the USA.

One of the things I hated most about Castlevania Lords of Shadow was how they wanted Belmonts and Dracula heritage to mix. Hate that concept and its why I didn't like Sonyas' game's ending. Don't get it twisted, I do not agree with Iga and his sexism at all.

Fabula Ultima Playtest documents for Feb. Not a fan of losing Heroic Style Skills. From my perspective, anything more a game can do to make characters different from each other mechanically is a good thing, even if some mechanics are fringe.

Another grueling work day has arrived. At the very least, I have Fantasy Life to look forward to after I get home! #videogames #nintendo

Discord claims my phone is authenticated to a different discord ID than my own. It also won't let me authenticate with my phone anymore. What happens next week when they force the new rules? I wonder if I will lose access to my current account and I wonder how difficult it will be to get a new one.

In #ttrpgs, there is this notion that failure should be encouraged because a story is more interesting that way. I can see the merits but as someone that fails their dice rolls constantly and consistently, sometimes it would be nice to be able to be counted on when the chips are down.

I have a love hate relationship with #MarvelChampions. I want an easier mode for the "board game" version of the game. Enemies that can be defeated using unmodified player packs. If we had a "basic encounter set" of about 20-30 cards of slower villan actions, this could do it with less friction.

The Nintendo Wii turns 20 years old this year. Where does the time go? That said, the following are my surviving physical collection, with some digital wii games on my Wiiu. The cases are downstairs somewhere. #nintendo #wii #videogames

Hey just saying if you want a pet companion ttrpg you could play Animon Story just saying

Yesterday, I got to play as Miss Amelia Northcott in the boardgame Botany. In the game, Amelia, along with her rival Botanists, traveled the globe in a mission of discovery to gain the Queen's Favor. We braved the elements, met crewmembers, and survived all manner of misfortune! #boardgame #Botany

Ugh. My character suffered a campaign loss in one rpg this week (because of an overzealous party member) and today my other game got canceled. Bad times

Just now getting around to the partner direct and CULDCEPT IS BACK AAAAAHHHHHHH! #nintendo #switch

Fantasy Life i Coop! #nintendo #switch2

I think if you like Dragon Quest Builders, then of course Pokopia will be an easy recommendation. However I think these gamers would also enjoy Fantasy Life i. And of course vice versa, if you liked Fantasy Life, play Dragon Quest Builders. Especially 2, that game consumed me for awhile #videogames

I've been playing Fantasy Life i on Switch 2. It's been pretty fun so far. Grindy? Yes, but that's kind of what you sign up for with these games. I kind of wish they would push player individuality more too. But I am still having a good time with it.

I am endlessly proud of how this turned out. youtu.be/LLbCigTV2ig #ttrpg #finalfantasy

New to the #SoloRPG List: Queenless from @croaker-rpgs.bsky.social Our Queen is dead! Such sorrow and despair! You must find the Royal Jelly so our hive can survive! CLICKY: solorpglist.com/search.php?i...

Recently, I comissioned artwork for another #SwordWorld #ttrpg Character I play named Angela. The artwork was drawn by the amazing artist @ajra.bsky.social. This character is a martial artist that wants to open a guild branch with an expansive library someday. She dresses for the job she wants.

Ok. I finally watched Samurai Troopers Episode 2. It is better, or maybe I am more used to the cruel direction. That said, Im still not sold on our new Wildfire. It does the trope of "what if the good guy had bad guy genes". I didn't like it in Castlevania Lord of Shadows and I don't like it here.

I really wish Fantasy Age 2e had a good Foundry VTT implementation. The amount of work to get it up to speed from scratch is daunting and makes me not want to even pursue the game further since my games take place online these days.
