We teamed up with the lovely JRPG Pursuit folks for an epic collab that only the MCU could rival (and you can trust me on that bc I AM AvengerMags 😉) We talk about JRPGS that deserve more love, and this may be our most chaotic episode of all time too. Check it out below!

It seems like everyone is talking about Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter (as they should be 😉), so this week's podcast is all about remakes!! We talk about why Sky's remake is SO special, our experiences playing it so far, and other remakes to come. Check out the video below!

🤷‍♀️

Come join us! We're unhinged in the best way!

This week's episode has A LOT going on. We've got PAX West impressions from @slamzany.bsky.social @retrobrandon.bsky.social, favorite JRPG OSTs and an Expedition 33 spoilercast! Oh and I'm also wearing a Moogle hat. (Join our Discord for context on this chaos.) Check out the pod below, Kupo!

I’ve said it before but reading all the medieval history books I’ve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after they’re gone.

The youth are learning the consequences of early 2000’s fashion

It's funny to think that my preference for urban living in areas with dense, mixed-used, walkable neighborhoods, multi-family housing, small businesses, and diversity probably stems from Sesame Street. Like an early education in Jane Jacob's urbanist theories.

Tech employees: "we're getting laid off because of AI" Microsoft: "we're laying off people because we want more AI" Some people for reasons: "the layoffs were because of game pass!"

Wearing all black on the Fourth of July to attend America’s funeral.

They're building concentration camps with money they stole from medicare.

No Kings! More Art! Happy Pride!

I would just like to go on record as saying: the fuck

A Shattered Nation Longs To Care About Stupid Bullshit Again theonion.com/a-shatt...

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Is there something about hitting your mid 30s that makes cute overalls suddenly irresistible? Is that just a me thing?

You do you, Jupiter. However, if you could *try* to aim in the direction of the White House, we’d all be very grateful.

Not swearing is so foreign to me, like if I'm talking to another adult and neither of us occasionally swear or try to crack a joke it puts me into business mode where I feel like I need to wear a suit and speak professionally.

Expedition 33 is so good that I forgot my phone was in my purse for like 5 hours today and accidentally made dinner an hour and a half late. #GOTY

PAX East dice haul 2025. If I’m going to try to murder my players in Tyranny of Dragons, I’m going to lean in. #PAXEast

Only spending one day at PAX East this year, but excited to go back after missing last year. Hoping to see some familiar faces this Saturday!

my personal idea for games media is that future publications should not merely aspire to be games publications, but arts and culture ones. Games-focused shops should still exist, but I think one path forward is to start with the argument we’ve been making: that games are part of culture

Kill and eat a venture capitalist today

When I die I hope I get to haunt something completely mundane. Something so stupid no one ever believes them. Just eternally fuck with people.

Unlocked room 46, yet plagued by dead end rooms trying to get there. Cursed.

ppl on tiktok are going "omg we're about to have an art renaissance like in the 1920s, music and stories are gonna be great" girl how 😭 you already don't support the artists that we have right now and most of yall are using chatgpt and devaluing actual human-made artwork.

I just spent the last hour word vomiting to my husband about Blue Prince who knows nothing and I’ve never felt more alive and completely deranged at the same time.

To me Rowling exists entirely outside of the “should we support/work with artists with troubling views?” debate. She doesn’t just *think* her opinions, she doesn’t just *say* them, she’s a relentless 24-7 activist whose whole mission in life is terrorizing trans people.

Paid my respects to daddy baphomet today

Turns out it was the secret third option, both!

Time to play a game of “is that yesterdays eyeliner, or are the bags under my eyes just that bad”

CEOs upset about Trump’s tariffs sound like mob bosses shouting “I thought we had a deal!” at the Joker.

in 2008, I had nothing. so when everybody lost everything it was hard for me to watch with anything other than morbid curiosity. now I have something, but my something is much closer to nothing than everything, so it's still mostly morbid curiosity with a light seasoning of existential dread

It’s been too long since I’ve been to a dive bar hardcore show. The world is going to shit, but tonight I am fucking alive.

Owe almost 2 grand in taxes for the first time after getting a positive return for my entire life thus far. This whole country is a fucking scam.

Doing my taxes has never felt more like a pointless endeavor. What a time to be alive.

It is 2002. I am 18 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2008. I am 24 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2020. I am 36 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2025. I am 41 years old. We are in a—

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

"If we aren't allowed to steal, a lot of thieves won't make any money," warned a thief. "Won't someone think of all the mediocre content?!" wailed another. "These words and pictures are out in public for my eyes to see," cried another, gesticulating wildly. "Are my eyes STEALING?!"

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

When people apologize for their English I just want to hug them and tell them they’re doing great!! Because they always are!
