So I made it past Burmecia and the end of Disc 1 for FFIX, but unfortunately did not speak to Stiltzkin before the end of that area. Have I missed him completely? Will I not see him at all for the rest of the game? Is it worth starting over and undoing five hours of progress so I can see him?

4 games I plan to play this year

I think if you write about Forza Horizon and you don't at the very barest minimum mention the BDS boycott against Microsoft and Xbox - especially if you CHOSE to do so - you're abdicating your responsibility to your audience to give them everything they need to know for their purchasing decisions.

been having an LP of resident evil 8 playing and i like how heisenberg's notes on what he's doing are so sparse and lowkey. does not have the supervillain monologue spirit in him when he's writing. just 'welp, i attached some power tools to a corpse, let's see how it goes.' 'hm. not great yet.'

The best possible thing that could have ever happened to Yakuza is if Gang of Dragons became a huge success.

Via @unpackingjapan.bsky.social, and interview with Square Enix's Paula Kaye Gerhold, who localized the English version of Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series, Mana series, voice dir. for Visions of Mana and performing vocal tracks for FFXIV, FFVII Rebirth, etc.

Skeletor is sleeping post He-Man stuff

The kids are using "filler" as a pejorative to describe an episode as bad. That I cannot abide.

I mean, how "cool" are you, if you needed the place to get annoying to leave? Peacing out because it was run by an open fascist was the cool move.

STAR WARS: MASTERS OF TERÄS KÄSI

Bluesky's head of trust and safety is effectively complaining about the nature of being in charge of something that many users have found to be lacking, and is trying to reframe that as "harassment." I hereby call on Aaron Rodericks to resign from the Bluesky staff and ask others to join my call.

its very funny to say “i was the hunted now im the hunter” at a mid-day meeting where you fell asleep at your desk

Final Fantasy X is one of the greatest games in the franchise As a life-long fan of Final Fantasy, I love X. The story is emotional and bittersweet, and the turn-based active party switch gameplay is so fun. There's a lot to say about why it's special And in the next Retro Blast episode, we will!

I am interested in exactly one specific medical update concerning this particular individual

Interesting choice of words

At this point Aaron should just resign, full stop.

do not ask the audience what content they want to see. They will not actually show up. I promise. Make something you want to make & if an audience exists for what you’re doing, they’ll come. Don’t worry about thinking there’s “too much” of that thing either. If you wanna make it thats good enough.

Counterpoint: If your method of online moderation is to ban anyone leveling valid criticisms of you while allowing multiple bad actors to skate on by and post without consequence, Trust and Safety is not the right fit for you.

Slightly increase a band U3

Happy Mother's Day! 💎✨

QTP with the last 4 games you played!

You can just dislike something.

“Sorry gas prices are sky high and you’ll never own a home — anyway check out these grainy UFO pics!” Cannot overstate how stupid these people think we are.

Shadow the Hedgehog being a Red Hood fan is giving me such life.

it should be the Hauntervirus and turn you purple

Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth have too many to choose from. The new musical arrangements were excellent at teasing the listener before ultimately giving them the classic themes they wanted with baller needle drops. My favorite was at Phase 3 of Jenova Dreamweaver. youtu.be/AjoiOhRAhR4?...

really brother

Surprised my wife with tickets to An Evening With Chuck Tingle this July. Can’t wait to trot.

speaking truth to power

As Nothing to Disgusting as this apology is, it still fills me with energy when instead of going Violent to Silent by either telling gamers to “get over it” or waiting for it to blow over; they are legit Pared to Scared of trying to shake off the extremely bad press.

One day I want a 500-page oral history about the New 52, with all interview participants having first taken truth serum.
