My Halloween sicko opinion is Castlevania Circle of the Moon is awesome.

if you want AI to do everything for you then...what the fuck are you

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

Rinoa and Socrates always replying "THE SKY!" anytime someone asks what's up.

Brennan Lee Mulligan is going to be the final boss of people who try to ignore the wokeness of Critical Role. Hell, he's the optional superboss. People will have to go to GameFAQs to look up specific mental gymnastic setups that ignore his wokeness.

Continuing my October reading with Stephen King's "Misery." This might be his scariest book ever written. The torture starts page one and doesn't let up. 300 pages of slow, psychological nails on a chalk board. Annie Wilkes on a bad day brings more real terror than any demon can.

Sadly, something I'll never capture as I play these retro games is original context. The game I'm playing right now - Golden Sun - is a great example. It's a good game, but you can't truly understand Golden Sun's appeal unless you played it on the Gameboy Advance SP on some road trip in 2005.

Late night is dangerous. The universe shrinks to the size of your bed, and all memory becomes easily accessible. Everything you've lost can be recounted. Every emotion you miss can be felt. You can lose yourself there.

Can't believe Atlus gave us a perfect red headed knightly elf mommy and named her Hulkenberg. Absolute disgrace.

I was wrong. I thought the Mario movie would be the gateway to other Nintendo movies but they just really love Pikmin.

Matt Mercer is playing a guy with a big gauntlet on one arm, you say? #CriticalRole

Finished the first episode of the new Critical Role. Really political, really complex character relationships. Matt, now out of forever DM jail, is wasting no time playing someone who wants all the smoke. Liam, Travis, and Tal all feels on brand. Marisha is finally embracing her Kentucky roots.

They've been pushing Mario Galaxy Rosalina stuff hard with the storybook merchandise, so I 100% believe this ties into her story. Rosalina stocks are about to skyrocket. Buy. Buy. Buy.

Why is it that Tidus in FFX is allowed to scream, "Let's go run into certain death without a plan to save my GF," but when Snow in FFXIII does it everyone loses their minds? Not all himbos are treated equally.

Tifa the Monk! Absolutely inspired by the outfit from Final Fantasy Tactics!

Recent polls have Argath Thadalfus' approval rating at 58% disapprove/42% approve.

First time reading Stephen King's "Salem's Lot" for October. Wanted something that feels like a true Halloween classic. As someone who grew up in a very small town, I LOVE the characterization of the sleepy & haunted Salem's Lot, and the language King used to achieve this is fantastic.

Please encourage Final Fantasy Tactics to all of the young people in your life. We really need this new generation to become MatsunoPilled.

All of this Final Fantasy Tactics in the year of our lord 2025. #Blessed

I still get excited about new game announcements but everyday I feel I'm inching closer to just replaying old games for the rest of my life.

I hate how the little mouths move in Final Fantasy Tactics Remastered. Looks like Nintendo Miis talking.

Can't adjust to the recent cool user trend of not using any punctuation. Just can't do it.

some days all you can do is psy

Games every single Millennial has owned or at least played for reasons that cannot be explained. Illusion of Gaia, Yu-Gi-Oh: Forbidden Memories, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Toy Story 2, everything in the Pizza Hut demo, Glover.

People once thought Konami could do no wrong. Then they launched a nuke on their own company and fan base. Now they're trying to rebuild and might succeed. Absolutely insane trajectory. Like a player who unleashes the aliens on their own Sim City because they're bored.

This has probably been done to death, but as I was reading through "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers," I started pondering the type of players each character would be at a D&D table. I'm going to expand on these thoughts with a thread.

It is so cursed that my favorite Taco Bell item, the Beefy Five Layer Burrito, is one of the clearest examples of inflation. I despair every time I think of it.

when you turn 10 in the Pokémon world

(Actual conversation in Rivendell) Pippin: "Well, well, it seems Frodo is the Lord of the Rings now. 😏" Gandalf:

Just beat Cynthia with a level 53 Lilligant. 🤷‍♂️

Just beat the Elite Four + champions in Pokemon White. It was pretty intense. If I hadn't done any research on good teams I might have been cooked. Shout-out to Lilligant + Quiver Dance and Excadrill + Swords Dance. Absolute MVPs.

Super Mario Galaxy movie announced. New Rosalina amiibo. New pages for Rosalina's storybook. New physical copy of the storybook. Peach gives Mario the "it's a big universe" speech under a tree on a hill. Buy Princess Rosalina stocks right now.

Got exactly one right. Fingers crossed for the new FE story. Really hoping it's great.

So maybe the Mario team just spent the last eight years working on Donkey Kong Bananza?

Nintendo getting more brazen with on-release DLC, I see......

So a Ditto that can learn more than four moves is basically god.

I love Nintendo Direct days. Such a community event. My hopes for tomorrow: 1: New epic 3D Mario 2: New Xeno-something 3: New Fire Emblem (Three Houses style story) 4: New Mario Maker? (Would FLIP for Super Mario 64 Maker) 5: FFXIII trilogy port! (I don't need this but it's time.)

I wrote about the caricature of Bluesky that right-wing Twitter accounts were pumping out to hundreds of millions of people yesterday @slate.com. Hey, Bluesky did finally become an echo chamber. Just not the one these people were pretending it is: slate.com/technology/2...

Golden Sun: The Lost Age is like, "Get this plot garbage out of here. It's time to delve into the dungeon." It's been pretty chill, though. Definitely the type of game I want sometimes.

CONSPIRACY NUTS: a web of billionaire pedophiles controls our nation NORMAL PEOPLE: you sound crazy! (2025) NORMAL PEOPLE: omg you were right! the president writes pedophile notes to his pedophile billionaire friends! it was in the newspaper! CONSPIRACY NUTS: idk... someone could've forged all that

Remember that time about half a year ago a lot of mid-tier influencers came to Bluesky and gassed it up as the new "awesome place to be," but then immediately dipped when they didn't get their fake two thousand Twitter likes? Lol.

I can't even imagine what kind of masculinity crisis is going to arise when Swifties start exposing guys en-masse as non-ball knowers.

Confession: I hope games slow down on the difficulty arms race. I'm getting too old for this sort of thing.

Just reread The Hobbit for the first time in a long time. Bilbo never got up on time. Based Bilbo.

Going to start streaming and be the first pro-backseat streamer. "Idk how to do this crap chat tell me what to do."

Hollow Knight Silksong | 🎨

Why are we still talking about Silksong? That's old news. What we need to be asking is where those jackanapes at Square Enix are hiding Kingdom Hearts IV.

If I were Yoshi-P and I wanted to torture the FFXIV fan base, I would release a list of canon sexualities for the characters assigning most as bi or pan or even gay, but I would have G'raha Tia listed as straight.
