Playing a bunch of FFVII after playing FFX I could totally see Square keeping the remake project going with X. FFX is widely available so it wouldn't be supplanting the experience at all. Plus X while good is very messy and could use a pseudo restructure.

One of the frustrating things about e33's 'Like FF back when it was good' take is that I don't exactly trust those people's recollection of FF games. 'No more PG anime humor!' Dude, I'm playing FF7 rn about everyone outside of Sephiroth is doing Three Stooges Bits. Cloud is doing Pirouettes.

seeing people immediately turn on it has only reminded me of this toby fox tweet

god if this ain't me

I remember doing the deal for Epic Mickey, and Bob Iger shooting laser beams out his eyes at me in the Disney dining room. “Don’t let this video game fuck up Mickey.” Oh well. That’s over.

It's not even the team the team keeps saying over and over from tip to bottom they love Japanese role playing games But for some reason chuds are working them up as euro messiahs saving the genre Just a terrible mess they're in when they just love games

We’re deeply honored that HADES II is in the running for Game of the Year and more at #TheGameAwards tonight, especially since we’re in the company of such an amazing group of wildly different and beautiful games. Congratulations to all our fellow nominees — we salute you!! 🙏👏

People being big mad about COe33's Game Awards Sweep feels like me 'Dying by the sword' for my Last of Us 2 haterism

Expedition 33 soundtrack will be with me always. Its a top 5 all time easy.

Everyone needs to listen to Gustav Holst's "The Planets", not for hoity-toity nerd reasons, but because every epic sci-fi movie OST for the past century has been directly lifting shit from this one specific collection of pieces, and you deserve to hear your favourite motif in its native environment.

ABSOLUTELY LEGENDARY CLAPBACK

There's a lot that makes that number that low, but will be glossed over by people prepping to race the bottom of the labor market.

FF6 - 1994 FF7 - 1997 FFX - 2001 FFXIII - 2006 The turn of the millennium was really technological and graphical leaps going all gas no breaks

The step up in cinematography from FFX > KH1 > KH2 is super wild. Kindgom hearts cinematography is better than most things being done today.

tbh i generally don't feel much nostalgia for 2007-2014 games world outside of a) the feeling like you could make a big impact with a relatively small thing, b) there just being generally less cynicism about what games could be or do, and c) social media wasn't total trash yet

so insanely fucking real for this

"Thing confusing! I don't know what's happening!" - Half watching / skipping story bits - Will only watch / play thing once - Refuses to engage with storytelling

Wild that KH1 and KH2 only released like 3 years from each other

I've been calming down, but I feel this in my soul youtube.com/shorts/lXSML...

Bamco gonna be in dire straits without him, but truly there has never been a more baller move than announcing your departure from your job by dropping a mixtape god DAMN that's fire.

"Children of Nerd/Gamer Parents" is a theory I've been nursing for a bit and I think that's going to be a big demo in the future. But if you grow up your Gran's Record collection you'll be exposed to a lot of deep cuts. Even GenX / Millennials had a Swing / Noir phase in the 90s

Idk, maybe because having smart phones replace 80% of our day-to-day devices actually sucks?

Red Baron Freezer Pizza. I should have never strayed from you.

There are many material reasons why Netflix owning WB/HBO sucks but the pettiest one I have is they suck at distributing their own work or building up any enthusiasm. They have failed their way to the top with a strategy that doesn’t benefit the work.

Decided to use these drawings of my oc Minerva as key poses and animate her!

no one has ever gotten the spirit of our country as right as paul verhoeven making robocop

Likely better than New Paramount. But this alarming as hell. The race to consolidation continues to put our entire economy in peril.

hyping up the crowd and pumping my fists like a gameshow host IS! THIS! GOOOOOOD?

I fucking love Ballmastrz

It's not even just indies, it's basically only the biggest blockbuster triple A nightmare games that have always been chasing the lowest common denominator that extra suck currently. The people who complain about the state of modern gaming out themselves as actually being Ball & Gun gamers.

I will never forget a friend telling me a zine project they were on collapsed because someone was fired over Voltron Shipping drama. This is also why a avoided Steven Universe for 5 years.

One of the greatest

I defiantly noticed this over the break when I was watching more TV through Hulu and the like.

LRP AI voice actors are terrible for all the quality reasons but it also kills the 'product sells itself' aspect. Not only does AI VA makes the production feel cheap, most of Acting jobs have also been turned into marketing arms of productions now with interviews and their socials media activity.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

A buddy is playing Clair Obscur on my recommendation and he's not liking it.

Every AI post about 'There is no putting the Genie Back in the bottle! Pandora's Box has been opened!' Human society has actually successfully put a genie back in the bottle once or twice. We just forget about it once we actually do it.

Not an imposter syndrome thing, but people say that I'm 'chill' when I feel I present myself as an absolute crank.

there's just something about mouse knights
