Okay so Final Fantasy Tactics is a kinda shit game. That said: 1) I would follow any order from Lady Agrias yes MA'AM 2) The font for the dialogue in the remake is gorgeous. If there's a way to fuck a typeface, I choose that one

For all the shit I talk about Pokemon Legends ZA (because it's bad), it's also true that the player character fashion/design I stumbled into may have awakened something in me.

If you watch a kid to see what's fun, and the kid plays without using any objects (pretending to be a dinosaur, for example), it would be dumb to draw any conclusions about toys, because the kid didn't play with toys that day. Such toy opinions would be invalid. This is about game design.

Fun things about this year's bundle: - We have two explicitly erotic games! (First Time Top and Your Own Harem) - We have two games about tea specifically! (The Answer Is Tea and The Tea Road) - We have games based on Chutes and Ladders, Jenga, and playing with matches!

The book is not the game; it *explains* the game. The play is not the game; it *enacts* the game. The pieces are not the game; they *enable* the game. The rules are the game. The rules are described by the book, enacted by play, enabled by the pieces. The rules are the game. 1/2

Well, anyway, once again tapping the sign about how way more people than you think in the TTRPG space don't actually like playing games, but think they do because they like the social event called Game Night, and all of their game opinions spring from that fact, and they will never interrogate this.

Anybody have recommendations? What's a good JRPG released in the last 15-20 years? Ideally one that's considered highly representative of the genre.

like idk i just think if we must tut-tut someone, maybe instead of the people who listen to what people say, it should be the people who say shit that's a coin flip between "sounds heinous unless you memorized 30 years of relationship webs" and "exactly as heinous as it sounds"

Come to think of it, I should try playing a JRPG released later than 2005 sometime, lmao It's easy to tell when people wildly misunderstand SNES-era ones, but I don't actually know what norms/expectations they're working from instead. I bet it would be fascinating to learn!

Articulating some feelings: I really dislike "Pokemon games." I like Pokemon. I like RPGs. There was a time when those intersected, and I loved it. But they don't make those anymore, they just make "Pokemon games" and I don't like them. And I HATE being told that this change didn't happen.

Of course, not everyone who wears something has a "goal," and over time fashion blends and iterates. Eventually, you get elven fashion that mixes and hybridizes various traditional looks, with oversized concealment and revealed skin blended into a single outfit: 8/๐งต

Today is a great day to pick up our

! We described it as "Waterworld meets Treasure Planet". People in the wild have described it as "Optimistic Dark Sun" and "Pirates of Dark Water's cousin". I think all of those are at least a little right, but check it out for yourself and you tell me.

Fantasy setting where mortal life builds and empowers the soul and then demons want to eat those juicy souls. But they can't reach the ones that have already crossed over to the afterlife, so they tend to swoop in at the time of death. Humans wildly misinterpret this.

I'll be honest, it's becoming less and less certain whether I'll actually go to the trouble of finishing Final Fantasy Tactics. "What if we made an RPG where XP only applies to half of each character?"
