Star Ocean 5's been alright - seems like it has some cool ideas, but execution's been a little questionable. Might finish it this week? Oh, and since I usually only post on Mondays - happy Thanksgiving! (early) #pastebinmonday #ResonanceOfFateNovember

Finished writing up my thoughts on running the FFT Remaster: pastebin.com/da1ke5FP Overall, wasn't a fan. SO1 FDR has been okay, should finish it tomorrow. Star Ocean 5 will be after that - it'll fix everything and be the perfect SO game #pastebinmonday #ResonanceOfFateNovember

Got a 2:25:56 in the Any% Tactician category of FFT Remaster - final running for now. Still writing up my thoughts, but don't think the game is good for speedruns. This week begins Star Ocean: First Departure R! www.twitch.tv/videos/26145... #pastebinmonday #ResonanceOfFateNovember

Got another huge PB in Any% Tactician last week. Will do one more FFTR exclusive week for sub 2:30 before starting Star Ocean First Departure R casual next week. Also, CV64 was a funny game. youtu.be/g1HY2sT4KaI youtu.be/kgQ9an3iU0I #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews #ResonanceOfFateNovember

PB'd by ~13 minutes last Thursday, bringing Any% Tactician down to a 2:50:01. I've already improved the route & will run it this week. On Halloween, however, Aria October returns for one day, for a Castlevania 64 1st play race with L C C. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxOd... #pastebinmonday

Completed my first speedrun of the remaster last week (Any% Tactician) in a little over 3 hours. Still a lot of work to do, but having a lot of fun - might end up playing longer than expected, and delay Resonance of Fate November a bit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=11ty... #pastebinmonday

FFT Remaster routing has been going well - hoping to do my first run later this week. Will be odd running FFT without having any breaks, but Super Touhou RPG trained me for this. Pictured is the funniest scene from the four sound novels we did last week. #pastebinmonday #FFTIC

Hundo'd the Remaster last week - it was okay. Obviously there were many changes I disliked, but it's always fun to have a new version of FFT to play. Wrote up my current thoughts here: pastebin.com/Yhk7FTTt Speedrun routing this week. #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews #FFTIC

Given the Remaster's emphasis on propositions for hundo (in addition to how easy they are to attempt now), I've reuploaded melonhead's old guide from 2009 that never got accepted to GameFAQs: pastebin.com/yFNdzA5q | To be used in tandem with: www.esque.com/slr/gamefaqs... #FFT #FFTIC

Final Fantasy Tactics Monkey's Paw Edition a l l d a y - twitch.tv/claude #FFT #FFTIC

ZX Advent turned out alright - def improved on a lot of ZX's issues. FFL1, however, was phenomenal - how can a 1989 Game Boy game be that good? Tomorrow (and all of October) is FFT Remaster - expect many long streams filled with complaining... #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews #SaGa2025

Shanghai.EXE & Mega Man ZX both finished last week. Shanghai was fantastic until it ran out of content, and ZX had some okay ideas that weren't implemented too great. This week will be MMZX Advent & Final Fantasy Legend 1, then we play FFT Remaster all October! #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews

Shanghai.EXE has been great so far - feels like the quintessential Battle Network experience. Should be able to finish it up tomorrow or Wednesday. After that will be more Mega Man fun with ZX & ZX Advent. Only 15 more days until FFT Remaster... #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews

Finished up the Mega Man Zero series last week. MMZ3 had some nice collectible stuff, but lacked a bit in level design. MMZ4 had cool bosses, but needed GameFAQs to fully enjoy it. This week will be the yearly Touhou fangame first play - let's jack in ! ! #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews

Stayed up kinda late last week working through MMZ2 & Dracula X Chronicles, the latter of which required beating the boss rush 9 times for 100% (but why?). This week will be MMZ3 & MMZ4, and maybe some misc. speedrun stuff (FFT Remaster at the end of the month!) #pastebinmonday

Got 26:46 in Aria last week. Felt very odd to run the game in August, but had to be done because of FFT Remaster. This week will be first plays of Mega Man Zero 1 (finally), and The Dracula X Chronicles (Rondo PSP) as the grand finale to Aria August. www.twitch.tv/videos/25459... #pastebinmonday

Spent the past 2 months working through all three AI: The Somnium Files games (offline). Pretty interesting series, liked it a lot more than the Zero Escape trilogy. This week will be Aria runs for 26 (real), and more CV-esque playthroughs (and Astro Boy) #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews

Played through Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for the GBA last week - it was a surprisingly good game with sick movement and an engaging combat system. This week will be more Aria, and more Castler-adjacent playthroughs (such as Getsu Fuuma Den) #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews

Hundo'd Magical Melody after about 80 hours - was questionably worth it, but still had fun. Also played two versions of Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, was funny. This week will be Aria of Sorrow derust + Castler-adjacents, maybe MMZ1 #pastebinmonday #claudegamereviews

Magical Melody has almost concluded, should be able to finish up with 100% Notes tomorrow. After that, prob just some random stuff for a bit while getting ready for Aria August (since October will be FFT Remake). Pictured is when my pig fell through the floor #pastebinmonday

Got the :3X in Donald Land last week, thus ending JuNESly. Still plenty of mistakes, but there's too much stuff I'd rather play at the moment, so I'll move on. Speaking of which, more Magical Melody this week - still enjoying that game ! www.twitch.tv/videos/25176... #pastebinmonday

Improved my Donald Land PB from 2023 by 5 seconds last week, mostly as a result of better strategies. Will continue pushing for improvements for the rest of the month, while also playing the next Harvest Moon game (Magical Melody) starting tomorrow ! 🐄 #JuNESly #pastebinmonday

Got 1 3 8 in Super Touhou RPG last week! Had a lot of fun running this again in 2025 + doing my RPGLB run, but will call it good for now. Might route some different categories some day? Donald Land runs + casual NES stuff this week www.twitch.tv/videos/25058... #pastebinmonday

Finished Tower of Druaga on Friday. Played completely honest for the first ~20 hours, somewhat honest for the next 10, then p dishonest for the final 2 - but it's done. A truly unforgettable experience - just try everything. www.twitch.tv/claude/clip/... #ClaudeGameReviews #pastebinmonday

Played through two cinematic NES masterpiece games last week in Secret Ties & Vice: Project Doom. Also got 1:39 in Super Touhou RPG! Plan this week is more STRPG runs, more NES playthroughs, finish(?) Tower of Druaga, and finish derusting Donald Land (runs in July).

FFT✨

Got a huge 1 second PB in Sword Master J last week, which means that run is back as a highlight on my channel. Also got a small PB in STRPG, and had some laughs in Tower of Druaga. This week will be more STRPG runs, some casual NES stuff, and more Druaga on Friday #pastebinmonday

I still think whatever they did to the graphics in FFT Remaster is unfortunate, but I obviously preordered the game and will play it (and speedrun it?) week 1. Coming up this week on the 'ol stream will be more Super Touhou RPG + JuNES content, still just chillin' #pastebinmonday

Hell, it's about time.

Busy week last week, between the FFT Rando, the 5 year anniversary of Melty Mondays, and playing through Mega Man X: Command Mission (and ending Mega Maypril X). Next few weeks should be a lot more tame, with a focus on Super Touhou RPG RTA runs + NES speedruns for JuNES #pastebinmonday

HELLO - I'm back from my Limit Break, it's my birthday (THIRTY SIX years young), and I'm streaming Final Fantasy Tactics Randomizer for hopefully less than 12 hours. Let's get it - twitch.tv/claude

Super Touhou RPG has concluded - a very exciting run to be sure! Very happy with it, big thanks to RedShifter for the comms assist, and to everyone who watched / donated / supported the game in any fashion. Keep watching #RPGLB2025, because countdown & tonic are gonna win huge!!

GG @bichphuongballz.bsky.social for playing honest BG @claudefft.bsky.social for cheating in Scarlet Mansion

Reminder to play Touhou Shoujo Tale of Beautiful Memories

bich has done it, which means I'm up next running Touhou Shoujo Tale of Beautiful Memories - Super Touhou RPG on twitch.tv/rpglimitbreak !! #RPGLB2025

Tonight's RPGLimitBreak lineup is incredibly stacked. You do not want to miss any of these runs - they're all certified bangers played by cool dudes.

LIMIT BREAK 2025 SOCIAL MEDIA UPDATE - this hotel's more cursed than the one from Scooby, but nyeron let me play Floigan Bros today, and it will give me the strength I need to succeed in Super Touhou on Friday... if I can wake up in time, HEH. #FloiganBros

It's official - Super Hunchback is a better game than Mega Man X8. Also, no streams Tues - Fri this week because I'm running Super Touhou RPG at #RPGLB2025 ! ! tracker.rpglimitbreak.com/runs/rpglb2025 FFT birthday rando on Sunday when I get back? #東方少女綺想譚 #pastebinmonday #claudegamereviews

Last week, I accomplished two incredible feats - I finally PB'd in American Gladiators after 6 years (thanks to new tech), and I beat Mega Man X7 for the PS2. This week will be the final Super Touhou RPG prac for #RPGLB2025 , and then Friday will be the X8 race. #pastebinmonday

Been busy filling in my VOD spreadsheet & preparing for my STRPG run at Limit Break, but I still managed to finish my replay of Dragon Warrior Monsters (All Gates, of course) - great game! This week will be a Maverick Hunter X 1st play, more STRPG prac, and a MMX7 race on May 9th. #pastebinmonday

The Super Touhou RPG route seems to have reached its final form (sans smaller optimizations), with both Reisen & Doremy being used for at least one fight. Will focus on that this week, while also making my way through everyone's favorite X game, Mega Man X6 . . . #pastebinmonday

Life's been good ever since VOD stuff got finished. Been enjoying practicing Super Touhou RPG for RPG Limit Break and playing through the MMX series, so there will be more of that this week (X4 & X5, to be exact). Also more of this guy #pastebinmonday

After many tireless hours over the past 2 months, I've finally cleaned up enough VODs to avoid auto-deletion.. except they postponed it by a month as soon as I finished :) :) :) :) :) Will continue uploading, spreadsheet updating, & splitting 12+ hour VODs. More MMX & STRPG this week #pastebinmonday

Deleted ~2000 hours of VODs on my channel over the weekend with ~4000 more to go, but everything's backed up safely in two spots to the best of my knowledge. Will focus on Super Touhou RPG prac this week + play through some MMX games. Also, who view botted this? #pastebinmonday

VOD update - downloaded all my videos, hopefully nothing corrupted. Been uploading daily until I hit the limit, as well as filling in my spreadsheet with links. April will be spent finalizing everything, as well as practicing Super Touhou RPG for RPGLB. Tomba! tomorrow, tho :) #pastebinmonday

I've streamed two DS casual playthroughs on real hardware now (Super Princess Peach & Harvest Moon DS: Cute), and sadly both had the same issue - good ideas ruined by repetitive filler content. At least I got another straight flush :) Speedruns this week! #ClaudeGameReviews #pastebinmonday

Extremely happy to be running Super Touhou RPG at RPG Limit Break 2025! This will be my first live marathon run since running FFT back in 2019. Will do everything I can to give the game the best showing it can possibly receive. rpglimitbreak.com/schedule #RPGLB2025 #pastebinmonday

Got sub 9 Prin Prin NES last week - pretty good run, would need to improve strats to beat it. Still can't highlight anything, but I've been making good progress on backing everything up. Starting tomorrow, it's back to the farm with Harvest Moon DS: Cute (oh cute!) #pastebinmonday
