Booted up Persona 5 Royal because I only ever played the original. Absolutely shocked to realize P5 turns 10 this year. Passage of time giving me whiplash. Usually only so much you can do on the bones of a PS3 game, so it’s a testament to the power of UI and art direction.

Looked into what it would cost if I decided to upgrade some 5+ year old computer components. Conclusion: The hellscape we live in is way too expensive.

Watching someone play FF7 Rebirth for the first time (they never played the original and don’t know anything about it). They’re walking up to the altar. Toughest poker face rn. Canon event.

Nah bro listen I just sang bang to back anime opening BANGERS with my Japanese coworker at karaoke and he might have just recruited me to come work for Red Bull Japan HOOLDDDD UPPPPPP

Me @ fighting games

“Hugh, you SOB!” IMO the interactions between Hugh & Diana can be presented to be more genuine. Pragmata is visually amazing, and the hacking gameplay is refreshing & challenging. Lots of respect to Capcom for taking risks to introduce something new.

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.

Hugh in Pragmata is way less of a “gruff piece of shit in need of redemption” than I was expecting. This guy means “no kids” in the same way your dad says he doesn’t want a dog but is the first one putting the pup in a vest when the temp hits below 6 degrees.

I don’t feign any sort of knowledge on how hard things are in game development. I’m just a fan wanting to know why so many gorgeous games ship without photo mode, only to add it in a patch 2 months after launch when I already beat the game.

Hate to be irate on main but genuinely what the FUCK is with the reversible cover for #Pragmata 😭 Had to save $$ on that little warranty information slip so they pasted it on top of cover art someone probably worked hard on?? First time I’ve seen a reversible cover be worse than the standard 😭

I do it all for *him*

The Belias fight in Final Fantasy Tactics forever scarred me when I was 12. But now I’m.. a lot older, and PREPARED.

Held off on Ivalice Chronicles for a long time because I really didn’t think adding in some voice acting would improve my experience of a game I played to death back in the day. Very wrong. I’m caught up in one of my fav stories once again

I’m sure kids these days have something equally significant I just don’t know about but MAN being of brain forming years during Square’s run of Final Fantasy 6, 7, Tactics, 8, 9 and 10 was just legendary. Playing Ivalice Chronicles right now and I just can’t believe how good I had it

FF7 Remake spoiler warning.. maybe? Just thinking about how when Cloud fell into the Lifestream, he ended up in Ivalice (FF Tactics) which is also where FF12 happens and how it’s highly suggested FF10 is in the future of FF7 because of Shinra’s descendants. No real point to make, it’s just neat

The real version of this combo was too hard for me to get before bed, but hey, #2xko_Akali got me to boot the game up again

Just saw Akali do an Izuna drop. I’m coming back

Marathon as a ‘before bed’ game is so funny. Either I’m lying there stewing about my poor decision making or I’m too hopped up on my extreme prowess when it comes to violence and there’s no in between

Sol Badguy - Volcanic Viper #ggst #guiltygear #solbadguy

How easy is it to learn COTW and how easy is it to get matches? Kenshiro has all of my attention, I fear

Did my first couple runs through Cryo in Marathon today. If this is the quality of map they keep planning to drop as part of their future content plans this game will be MORE than okay. Unbelievably fun and tense experience

Finally starting to “get” Monster Hunter Stories. Was interested because Stories 3 looked cool and I never played any of them. It took me a couple cracks, but after a while I’m realizing it just.. feels nice to play? Very underrated aspect. It just makes me smile and that’s worth a lot

Duo queue was such an inedible addition to Marathon. I’m so UP right now

Cleared up some backlog and finally dove into High on Life 2. The first thing it asks you to do is draw a picture of yourself in crayon (It ends up getting used as your wanted poster). I'm notoriously bad at art and had the most laughs.

I too wish I could have Final Fantasy but worse

Frieren AMV so you'll listen to my album: tinyurl.com/mry63dfk

If you ever doubt how Ontario Down I am, just know I’m currently in a very long line at the convenience store being held up by someone’s lottery purchases just waiting for the “Winner!! Gagnon!!” of freedom to ring out.

Can’t stop thinking about the John Carpenter’s Toxic Avenger demo, holyyyy just pure stress (the fun kind) Very very gamey game

Really sad to see the journalism program at Algonquin College get cut. With no exaggeration I can say taking that program turned my life around. Getting to go back years later and teach parts of the course was super fulfilling. Just a huge bummer to know it’s not a thing anymore.

Was annoyed that, no matter what I do, when I turn off my PlayStation it switches to annoying built in channels that I didn’t ask for, instead of just a black screen. Found a channel that only plays episodes of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure 24/7 and now my life has vastly improved

Okay so I’m only like 5 hours into Alan Wake 2 but HOLYYYYY this is a video game ass video game. Unbelievably high quality. Worth all the hype.

Been trying to get into watching Empire but it’s so hard to be immersed with how COMICALLY evil Lucious Lyon is 😭😭💀💀💀

Just a reminder that the best part of metacritic is being able to click links to the full reviews which are being aggregated so you can take 5 minutes to read some prose while you're trying to make an informed decision on how to spend your money on very very expensive video games

Reached the point in Trails Beyond the Horizon where I’m just kinda over it. I’ve played every game in the series and I do want to know where the story is gonna go from here, but it’s not giving that “ABANDON ALL OTHER HOBBIES AND PLAY THIS” feeling I got from the other titles

Modern Kiseki games been feeling a lot less adventurous. I know there's a lot of story to go through, and the later games having multiple routes with different protags doesn't leave a lot of room for exploration, but I miss hoofing it through Liberl or Crossbell State and DISCOVERING.

I’ve never gotten angry messages about my matches until I started playing Caitlyn/Blitzcrank Team kinda sucks but this may be what I rock until season 2 😭😭

Random crossplay 2XKO player discovers blocking

Had a dream that Final Fantasy XVII was an RTS and I can’t stop thinking about the possibilities

First night playing Cait/Blitz

Hate that fighting games feel like doing homework to non players. Because man.. when you’re struggling through a complex sequence. Adjusting timing here. Modifying jump angle there. And you finally figure out what you’ve been doing wrong. Holyyyyyy, peak
