I’m very pleased with DQ1-2 HD Remake so far. DQ1 feels like a fresh new game with the new story beats and sets of characters. Definitely a more lived-in world and with more connections to both DQ3 and DQ2. I also got to spend 3 hours fighting in a dog suit. And there are so many cats to pet

*sighs* Cashew chicken (the sigh doesn't count)

I respectfully* submit: If you manage to become a “disaffected democrat” based on a thing that happens 10 times on half a million student-athletes, you weren’t much of a democrat to begin with.

Meet these four WoLs and more during One Minute WoLs at #GatewayFATE on Saturday at 1pm! Advance signups are now closed (gotta drive to the con!) but there will be time for on the spot introductions as well! Attend the panel and you'll have one minute to tell the story of your WoL! See you there!

I expect a lot of Kefka's laugh and Lavos' scream, which are both iconic, but I have to give special shoutout to Rimsala, the final boss of Arcana (SNES) and her laugh whenever she does a physical attack. Couldn't find a picture I liked but great boss design too.

FF6 Celes🌹セリス　 （Drawn in 2024）

I bought my Dreamcast used in 2001 (bad timing, I know) with Sonic Adventure, which I finished, and Blue Stinger, which I did not. It became a fighting game and RPG machine for me with Soul Calibur, MvC2, Grandia II, and my second favorite game of all time, Skies of Arcadia. I miss it.

Hey, if you are at all sensitive to discussion of suicide and descriptions of methods for self-harm I'd recommend avoiding reading the ChatGPT legal brief going around, maybe be careful reposting that also! It is that bad and there needs to be serious consequences for ChatGPT from it

I have reached over stage 50 in regular-fire Galaga and 200+ in rapid fire, but for the first 2 years I can remember being around arcade games the dive-bombing noises scared the hell out of me. (1/2)

Call your House reps and senators. I don't care what shade of blue or red they are. Name KOSA, SCREEN, IODA, and state-level ID legislation in general and WARN. THEM. OFF.

Even if you're not feeling down about yourself, asking for attention is no crime. I love receiving praise. I love hyping up my friends. Because our brains are wired to focus on threats, negative comments land a bigger punch than compliments. We need lots of the good stuff to outweigh the bad.

I think it should be okay for people to say I'M FEELING REALLY DOWN ABOUT MYSELF CAN YOU HELP ME REMEMBER SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT ME without it being seen as a negative. Asking for attention isn't the crime some people insist it is, particularly in a world where we relish tearing others down.

I wish for JK Rowling to be the 13th person at a table and realize with horror that everyone else is waiting for her to leave first.

My dear friend Josh is really struggling right now. Recently, he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer that requires surgery and a long recovery. Then, last night, his beloved Mother passed suddenly. Josh is the best, and anything you can give helps. www.gofundme.com/f/stand-by-j...

#MarioPaint practice 1 of 2 for today. This random red blob took on a familiar shape so I took it in an…odd direction.

As an asexual, there’s really no place for me in a social construct that promotes “getting laid” as the end goal. There’s so much more to the human experience of love, and yes, sex is still a part of it but it’s not remotely close to the first thing for me.

hey, I made a Bitsy game! presenting: TIME TO CLIMB it's a short story about climbing a really tall ladder. check it out here! hit2key.itch.io/time-to-climb

I completed the Adventures of Elliot demo. There are some other things I could go back and do, and probably will. I’m intrigued just enough to play a bit more, but on the fence still as to whether I’d buy it. Good thing I have until 2026 to decide.

It's cute to me how we have a couple of phrases for kiddos advancing in school. There's "rising" as in "rising sophomore," implying a higher ascension toward adulthood And then there's what I was, "incoming," like a torpedo

Asking someone “Why are you so quiet” has never turned an introvert into an extrovert in the history of ever so maybe stop doing that

I've played FF since the first game, love the whole series, and several friends (including a 1.0 veteran) recommended it. The real catalyst was building my own PC back in early 2021 and choosing to start a sub instead of playing any of the other games in my backlog.

I guess I must, then! If you see it do it! ✦ Username: philzors ✦ Pronouns: he/him/his ✦ Height: 5’11 ✦ Sexuality: still working out, I think Ace but romantic? ✦ Sign: Gemini ✦ Piercings: 0 ✦ Tattoos: 0 ✦ Drinks: tea and coffee ✦ Food: Sushi ✦ Pets: one cat ✦ Relationship: Single

We were never supported to follow the Empire. We were supposed to be the Returners and too many of us failed. If they didn't want resistance, they shouldn't have gone out dressed like tyrants. THANK YOU, SAN ANTONIO!

I was 11 and had just flown for the first time. Rue McClanahan came up to me outside the airport bathroom and asked if I was lost. I was just waiting for my mom and told her so, and when she came out they chatted briefly.

Today is #WorldOceansDay, and we’re working on a movie about mermaids from around the world saving the ocean from destruction! We can’t do it alone though, so we’re launching a Kickstarter - sign up now to know when we’re live! 🌊 www.kickstarter.com/projects/mattimation/sirenetta-part-time-mermaid

I played Magic for the first time in like 15 years thanks to the Final Fantasy set. Prerelease photos incoming. I had kind of mixed feelings about this set since my main game is the dedicated Final Fantasy TCG, but I can tell a lot of love and care went into this and I had a blast playing with it.

I don’t know who is ready to hear this but people don’t have to add value Like people should also be allowed to exist for free

Holy crap Pacers. My Pacers. The team I started rooting for in 1998 and never stopped even through a lot of rough years. What a game, what an upset. I gotta find a way to watch these remaining playoff games.

Modern video game commercials: Lavish graphics. A stirring narration. An exciting reveal. 90s commercials: A kid dressed as a robot kicks Bigfoot in the dick. The room erupts in flame. Secret service agents dive through the windows and open fire. Tetris 2, now on Game Boy.

My state’s GOP supermajority legislature repealed the paid sick leave passed in November and kicked an abortion ban back into the ballot. My city’s Cuban restaurant closed for good because their workers’ visas were rescinded. Oh, and severe weather. I am bone tired. Still a lot to do.

I’ve had two people reply claiming that alt text is for LLM data crawlers and I cannot express enough how ridiculous that is as an argument. Accessibility accommodations being misused by capitalism is not a reason to stop providing accommodations.

I am hoping for good election results for you all today, Canadian friends!

There was a pizza place called Stephanie’s that closed when I was like 6 or 7. It’s a Subway now. We used to get pizzas and glass bottles of Coke there. I can barely remember what the pizza was like now but I still have vivid memories of the interior.

Definitely Undertale. I own it but haven’t started it yet. I really want to because I know it’s a special game for a lot of my friends and I want to experience it for myself. Just…haven’t yet.

I've had the FFIII PR soundtrack on a lot lately. It's got so many beautiful renditions of music that was already really good to begin with. I especially like the Altar Cave, Crystal Tower and World of Darkness, plus Eureka and the Covert Town music. The Woodwind battle theme made me grin too.

Realizing the kids in Maniac Mansion could die after Razor was exposed to radioactive steam from the microwaved pool water. I reset so fast when I saw her tombstone in the front yard. I could deal with losing Dave but Razor? Hell no

6.5’s trial boss had me grinning like a kid in a candy store as big a fan of FF4 as I am. When the music changed near the end I’m pretty sure I screamed in delight.

Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions: A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans. I would like to amend my prior statement. Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.

Fuck it thread of Ace Attorney characters and what Fate series Heroic Spirit I think they’d summon starting with Phoenix Wright and Sherlock Holmes because his ancestor worked with him and I think it’d be fun and they’d be an interesting fit aside from that

repost with a favorite book from childhood Uhh

And lo, the trailer did drop: www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2... #murderbot

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship. Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

Happy Ace Day to my fellow aces. No matter where you fall under the umbrella you are valid & your feelings are valid. Don't let anyone tell your otherwise or try to change who you are 🖤🤍💜

I just saw JK Rowling’s little pithy rant about asexuality. I used to classify her as an Umbridge who thinks she’s a Hermione, but she’s full-on Voldemort. What a hateful hag. If anyone wants good magical coming-of-age written by a non-shitty person, go read the Tiffany Aching Discworld books.

I hate to make this critique on the platform itself, but stuff like Bluesky extending the character limit as an April Fools joke is the reason I hate this stupid day. "Here's something that people have been asking for as a joke ha ha ha" - miss me with this shit. Yes, I'm a curmudgeon, I know.
